Obama's Speech
Obama wrote a forty-minute speech, himself, and delivered it yesterday, I believe. I was watching the ten o'clock news (what a joke) and they barely touched upon this speech. I think it is extremely important for anyone who plans on voting to listen to this speech. Really listen to it. Don't just turn it on and pay attention to something else. Listen to the honesty and the truth within the speech.
I'm not saying that you have to vote for Obama, I'm just saying that you should give every candidate his or her fair share of attention. Really be active in who you want to vote for. Do you have knowledge of truly touching speeches by the other candidates? Please, post links to them in the comments so I can watch them and be educated, as well.

I went and listened. Thanks for the heads up. I try keeping up with election news, but since it isn't aired day in and out here, sometimes I fall behind. This was a great speech to hear.

As you know, I'm an Obama supporter, so some may label me an "Obama-bot". But this is why he appealed to me long ago -- he's one of the few politicians I've ever seen willing to confront weighty issues and volunteer a reasoned (and usually thoughtful and measured) take on things rather than offering up some "sound-bite" platitude. No convenient, self-serving "spin". No pandering to any particular demographic.
What a breath of fresh air...
