Reviews of the Video

Hi Edwin, It is truly wonderful that you and others have grasped the brass ring of the progressive movement by highlighting the core issue of Empathy. I now see that everything about the rising of Barack Obama and the revolution in America is based on this principle. Thank you, thank you for your effort and the timely reminder to me of what is really important. It's easy to get lost in the dust that is being raised by so many who sincerely want to see change and see it quickly. But it is crucial to remember why we are being called in this time in history to change. You are exactly right, it is Empathy. Warmly, Terri

Thank you for collecting so many clear statements by the President (and the First Lady) about the need to increase empathy in this country. This is a great start to a project that can be the source of conversation, action, and cultural change in this country. In its early stages, the video shows a repetitive consistent message over time. The videos appear to me to show our President having the intention to include dignity and kindness when he acts on behalf of the people. I can see this as source material for conversation and action in so many places where people come together to learn, and where people come together to heal and/or grow more internal resources. This is great work, and I look forward to its development. Wendy

This is magnificent.  This is the essence of my support for Barack.  I can't thank you enough for your research, editing, and bringing together this totally necessary statement on ~~the evolution of consciousness~~ empathy...   Thanks again. Sydney
