This speech is a fearless calling out of our nation as is.

16. Obama OVERTLY called out the GOPs efforts in trying to make it harder to vote NOW and challenged the

... 100 congress persons in the crowd to go get the 400 that are part of congress and get them to change the voter laws...

It was a good call out
