Wow. (Obama on C-Span)

[scheming daemons]

He's given lots of great speeches.



But... fucking.... wow.



"That's MY patriotism!"



Line. of. the. campaign.

[Tatiana]

1. "Will the Democratic Party stand up for the next generation?"

"We want EVERYBODY!"

That speech was made of awesome.

[quantass]

23. Killer line!! The guy is amazing!

[livingmadness]

52. I loved that he differentiates himself here from the Clinton approach

During her speech at the same event, she ridiculed Republicans whilst experiencing feedback with the sound system. Obama OTOH, along with "we want everybody" talked about embracing disaffected Republicans. A smart move for the GE.

[Adelante]

2. Just WOW is right

:patriot:

[quantass]

32. AGREED!

:patriot:

[Cha]

3. "That's My Patriotism"...that must have

been some leading up..

[Adelante]

6. OMG, Zidz

He did it so good :hug:

[Cha]

14. Sweet..I can't wait to see it,

WesDem:hug:

[stellanoir]

4. Details perhaps?

[scheming daemons]

8. I couldn't do it justice.... will post a YouTube when one becomes available.... basically.....

...took on the bullshit "flag pin" issue head on. Talked about what he stands for, and how patriotism is defined by actions.


It was powerful as hell.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

19. will CSpan air it again? or do we need to ask them to air it again?

its the best I've seen him do. And although it wasn't an Obama event,
it pretty much was that.

The crowd is definitely pro Obama. I'm a tarheel too,
and went canvassing for him today.

[Muttocracy]

45. put up a separate OP with times - 12:30a and 5:30a Eastern so far nt

[stellanoir]

26. Bless him

[stellanoir]

27. Bless him

[stellanoir]

28. Bless him

[TeamJordan23]

5. He has his Mojo back. nm

[Tatiana]

7. And THEN SOME. n/t

[tishaLA]

9. He was very very impressive

And damn right that's his patriotism!

[blogslut]

10. Tonight was something

Wasn't it?

[FrenchieCat]

11. !

:patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

[Hawkeye-X]

38. I miss Khephra too.

:hi:

[noel711]

12. Obama was on fire!

This was the best he's been in weeks...
He's been exhausted, drained by the focus on 'pastorgate,'
and all the bashing....

He needed this, not only to focus on his issues,
but I think he needed the affirmation of the huge adoring crowd.

Some new sparks!

[Qutzupalotl]

49. I think he knows he's won.

:-)

[Tribetime]

16. I couldn't turn away, his best speech

[jefferson_dem]

18. Shame on the cretins who paint a picture of anti-patriotic elitism. He just put you in your place.

n/t

[Phx_Dem]

20. Wow.

The crowd was crazy for Obama. If that speech didn't wake up any undecided Superdelegates (if there are any), they must be dead. It was incredible.

[SunDrop23]

21. He is in-freakin-credible!!! Now I understand what my mom is trying to convey when...

she tells me about the energy of the JFK and RFK campaigns.

[FlaGranny]

33. It does put me in mind of that time.

I voted for JFK the very first time I voted.

[SunDrop23]

34. Wish I had been around for that...must have been amazing.

[JimGinPA]

24. I Rewound About The Last 20 Minutes On My DVR So I Could Watch It Again...

Damn, that was powerful!


K&R

[scheming daemons]

29. Any wavering Obama fans should watch that speech pronto..... and then be ashamed for doubting....

[Coexist]

31. absolutely

I have stopped worrying... every time there is something I worry about, he knocks it out of the park. I have stopped worrying.

[VenusRising]

30. I'm so glad that I turned on my television for that.

I was just going to watch it online, but changed my mind when I heard the crowd chanting Obama's name.

[dbmk]

35. It was 4:00 here in Denmark when he started.

I was already at least an hour late going to bed.
Figured I was about to see another rally speech, but decided to give it a look as someone posted the c-span link.

And now I can't sleep.

That...as they might say...was something. Holy crap.

You are SO going to have to share!

[RazBerryBeret]

36. he was awesome tonight....

powerful and engaging. he even managed to stop my 8 year old...he stood in front of the TV and listened for about 5 minutes, then said he sounded like an announcer on WWE---that's a compliment in his world, I guess...This is the same 8 year old who proclaimed Hillary (in an early debate) reminded him of a mean old teacher....that image has stuck with me.

[futureliveshere]

37. I loved the line "Will the democratic party stand up for the NEXT generation"

That was a call to the SDs.

[Adelante]

39. Exactly

It was a call out right there.

[Pisces]

40. HE WAS ON FIRE!!!!!!!! Gobama, Gobama, I was clapping like crazy!!! I can't imagine being there.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

41. ZING!

[MBS]

42. Yes, that ending was truly excellent. Great job.

And wonderful energy in the crowd.

[jenmito]

43. I wonder how many SDs have been inspired to announce for him after that speech! I'm

guessing MANY!

[jenmito]

44. Meanwhile, Hillary gave out her website during HER speech.

[Hawaii Hiker]

46. Yeah, that was a terrific speech; "that's my patriotism" was a great line

:woohoo:

Hoping for 2 Obama victories on Tues., :woohoo:

[Tinksrival]

48. My favorite line...

I AM THE AMERICAN DREAM

[livingmadness]

51. Fantastic speech

Very heartfelt and passionate. Particularly liked him asking the DP whether they would stand up for the next generation. Good call!

[MaineDem]

53. Saw it this morning. It was very impressive.

One of his better speeches, for sure.

[SKKY]

54. Has this speech been posted yet?

I'd like very much to see it.
