The Obama Seven

These are some golden oldies as well as some newer speeches you may have missed.  In my opinion, these are the seven speeches that have cemented Barack Obama in the mind of this nation. A couple days ago, this was posted, but with the title "The Obama Six."  I felt that after last night, we now have a number seven:

South Carolina

Let me take a break to tell you that there is a 14 year old kid who goes by the tag of Populista.  He's on the rec list right now.  I don't know if this will make the rec list, but he'd like us to donate some money to Barack on his behalf.  If Barack gives hope to our youth, he can give hope to us all.  Donate on his behalf and show the world that America still has hope:

DNC 2004

2002 Anti-War Speech

Jefferson Jackson Dinner

Iowa Victory Speech: This Moment

New Hampshire: Yes We Can

Obama at MLK Jr's Church

•  TIPS and RECS: On, to Victory!

  Barack, just keep on keeping on.  We're behind you.

•  We're movin' on up!

  Hopefully people across the country will shake off the notion of inevitability once and for all come February 5th.

•  Scene: Grocery Store, Morning

  So there I am at the local flagship Whole Foods, chatting with my friend who runs a boutique chocolate factory here. We're talking about chocolate, when a woman comes up and says, "Hey, did you see Obama's speech last night? It was really great. It really moved me."

  The excitement, it is growing. At my friend's birthday party last night, one of my friends comes in and before he says hello, says "How about that victory tonight?" The enthusiasm is palpable. Nearly all of my friends are voting Obama. I registered four more last night. Woo!!

  •  Go read the first paragraph

    Yes, that's very obvious.  But there were quite a few people who told me they enjoyed having all his best speeches linked in one place, and now, there was obviously one missing.

    •  still rehashed, adding one new thing to an old

      post - you could have just posted the new speech - but wait, that's already been done in a trillion diaries... so

      this is just a rehashed diary already posted.

•  These are beautiful speeches

  Everytime I think it can't get any better, he raises the bar.  What a great time to be alive. :)

•  The New Hampshire

  "Yes, We Can", paving the road to success on the heals of defeat.  Amazing speech.  Simply said, "we are going to win".

•  Speeches that rank with the greatest

  American oratory in history.  Four of them in 2008.  And it's only January.

•  The MLK Jr Speech....

  needs to be now and forever dubbed the "I Am Here Because Of Ashley" speech...

•  Thank you for compiling this collection

  You just saved me the time of browsing Youtube for these speeches for a friend.  I talk to everyone I know about Obama but many potential hardline supporters don't have the free time to investigate Obama.  I mean, they like him and will vote for him but they deserve more exposure.  I want to give them a glimpse at history.  So thanks.

•  You may have seen this on Bill Maher

  But if you didn't it is worth watching.

•  I BELIEVE!!!

  Just like all of Joe Scarborough's friends last night.  Did anyone see him on MSNBC?  He said that during Barack's speech last night (and it happened during the speech in Iowa) he kept getting message on his Blackberry from Rep conservative friends with the same message, "I BELIEVE!"  Obama is the only candidate that will unify this country.  Democrats must elect him as the nominee if they want to win the White House!  Vote Obama '08!
