Well Guys and Gals, this is it. FINALLY it's November 4th. Everyone is excited, anxious, fired up, and ready to go. I don't think I could do anything to inspire you and give you hope today better than Obama himself did last night. His last rally was in Manassas, Virginia. He was running about an hour and a half late. He was truly humbled by the crowd that greeted him staying that extra time to see him. So he was giving his speech and I was getting all emotional, he was obviously emotional (even outside of the news about Toot), I mean it was the LAST rally. No more checking cnn.com and barackobama.com/live to see rallies all over the country. So he was going through his speech, and it wasn't anything remarkable for me (because I've seen at least 90% of his rallies in the last month or so), and then it happened. . .
One of my favorite stories is the "Fired Up! Ready to go!" story. I love it. And the second I heard him start it, I was fired up. I didn't even need to hear him tell it, but then he told it, and I saw him with more energy than he's had in the last couple of weeks. Don't get me wrong, he's had INTENSITY, but not the ENERGY that he had earlier in the campaign. And yesterday was a particularly rough day for him emotionally, he's clearly exhausted. Until he got to this story. Just watch the video for yourself:
If THAT doesn't inspire you, nothing I could say or post would.
This is the last "Hope Diary." I hope those of you who have been supporting them these last couple of weeks enjoyed the effort.
Here are all of the "Hope Diaries" in case you missed one, or just want to look back:
