Well, tantiboh, I went to hear him speak for the first time almost two years ago now and he spoke then like he did in this speech today. I guess that's why he won me over from Day One. Perhaps the debate format and the stump speeches were not as conducive to this type of speech. However, his platform did champion the ideas mentioned in this speech and many of the videos and speeches that were available on Freeper UP's homepage were similar to today's speech.
I hope the country gets to know him better over the next few years and he gets another chance.
It's kind of gloomy around here -- on a lighter note:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1P0WBlVAIA
LOL From my perspective as a single twenty-something, redgirl, “I Got a Crush on Obama” was much more entertaining.
