it to yourself to listen to it, if only to make you feel just a little good about life. Here's a link:http://youtube.com/watch?v=cNZaq-YKCnE
It was amazing to watch Chris Matthews and his MSNBC panel last night gushing over Obama's speech, literally in some cases with tears in their eyes. It's unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be any video out there today of Chris saying that anyone who was in the Peace Corps in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, up though today would vote for this guy. There is video of the comments of Howard Fineman and Eugene Robinson, who were on Chris' panel.
I've been sure Obama was my candidate for about a week. (Not bad since I have to vote in 4 days.) My wife was waiting for a sign to choose between Obama and Edwards. Apparently the sign I put on our front lawn yesterday wasn't enough! ;-) She called me a few minutes ago to say she got her sign. Seems a friend at work has a friend who was talking to an Obama supporter and asked some questions about the FAA. The Obama worker didn't know the answers to the FAA questions, but he talked to Obama about it. Obama did his research and the questioner got a phone call that went something like, "Hi. This is Barack Obama. I hear you had a question about the FAA." The questioner laughed as I would have and said, "Ya. Sure.", to which the caller responded, "No. Really! I'm Barack Obama. Let's talk a minute." My wife took the fact that she heard of this incident first thing this morning as a sign. Tomorrow we're off to an Obama rally. We're not a sit-at-home-and-wait family when it comes to politics. :-)
You really do owe it to yourself to give Obama a look. Perhaps once in a generation a candidate comes along that has the ability to transcend politics as usual; who can unite the country around something bigger than ourselves. I think we may be seeing that candidate.
Have a great day!
