Why "Yes We Can"?

will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas provides an eloquent explanation for why he created the "Yes We Can" video that everyone seems to be watching. This really stood out for me:
no one on this planet is truly experienced to handle the obstacles we face today...
Terror, fear, lies, agendas, politics, money, all the above...
It's all scary...

Martin Luther King didn't have experience to lead...
Kennedy didn't have experience to lead...
Susan B. Anthony...
Nelson Mandela...
Rosa Parks...
Gandhi...
Anne Frank...
and everyone else who has had a hand in molding the freedoms we have and take for granted today...

no one truly has experience to deal with the world today...

they just need "desire, strength, courage ability, and passion" to change...and to stand for something even when people say it's not possible...

America would not be here "today" if we didn't stand and fight for change "yesterday"...
Everything we have as a "people" is because of the "people" who fought for change...
and whoever is the President has to realize we have a lot of changing to do
