    Five years ago, Barack Obama stepped onto a stage in Springfield, Illinois, and said he was running for president. Here’s a look at what’s happened since (includes Tumblr hearts).

  7. “I was in Turkey a number of years back before Bush invaded Iraq and the whole disaster began and I had a cab driver and he said, “Hey, where are you from?” because he noticed that I wasn’t perfectly fluent in Turkish and I said, oh I grew up in the United States so I’m American. And he said, “Oh, that’s funny. I’m American too”. I said, really? You don’t sound American. And I said, so what part of America are you from? He said, “Oh I’ve never been to America”. I said really, so how come you’re an American? He said, I believe in American and that’s why I’m an American. In my heart, I am an American. And you can’t understand how powerful that is, especially because Turks have such enormous national pride… and for him to so, no, no, no, no, above even being Turkish I am an American, right, to a man who had never been to America. Now in these last seven years, we lost him. If you went into that cab you know, two days ago, he would not have told you the same story I suspect. When you go into that cab tomorrow, I think that have become to get him back and he might say that he’s an American again.”

  15. “The people the political system supposedly serves…must feel they have been subjected to a psychological experiment gone horribly wrong, pressing the red button in 2004 and getting a zap, pressing blue in 2008 for another zap, and now agonizing whether there is any choice that won’t zap them again in 2012.”
