It's on Cnn.com
It's not his "same ol stump speech"!
Among other things, Obama chastised Clinton on the gas tax, and called labelled it political pandering, in a skillful, hard charging kind of way, than before. He was more confident, than he's been lately. No stuttering, during this speech.
Just conviction, swiftness, outrage and confidence!
He hit cut the right swath of detail, emotion, stories, Patriotism, anger, outrage and ridicule, while maintaining it's majesticism and emotion. Truly, a great new stump speech, we're he received numerous standing ovations.
As I stated, Obama focused on working people, and detail, with inspirational stories about his extended family, as he expanded on Michelle's and his Brother in law, with great patriotic, saliva swallowing detail. He even mentioned India and China, when discussing American jobs, challenges and trade. When's the last time he mentioned China and India in the same sentence? Ya think he was thinking about Clinton and her deal?
He should of spoke this way earlier.
The people in Indiana were loving every minute of it! Numerous standing ovations!
He's doing it!
He challenged those elitism critics. By not only talking about his mother on food stamps, but also about Michelle's and her Brother's father, who (though he got injured) at his blue collar water filtration plant job in Chicago,still went to work for years,hopping on a cane!
Wow!
I hope CNN stays after his speech is done (like CSpan).
They usually don't stay long after his speech is done.
But I would love to see the crowd reaction to him and Michelle.
Okay now I see it. It's great!
I think last nights Jefferson Jackson dinner, got him Amped! I think the love and appreciation he got fromn that NC-political crowd, has imspired him.
It reminded him who he was.
I think Obama is tired of all the race baiting from Hillary, the media, and Republicans, and is now pushing back (through this speech). He even said "I'm a black man". But prouder and stronger than he usually does. I think he was trying to make a point,and turn a perceived negative (if you believe that or the media lately), into a positive. And then for the coup degrace, he brought out his family, with his two darling daughters.
Take that Corporate Media!
He's definitely got his Mojo Back! No more stuttering, and stammering, and pausing (though I know why he does it, to think).
Where were these stories before Obama?
I think Obama has finally realized what we've all been saying here guys. "let's get past the BS, and help this country, and win this election".
Amen Barack!
It's off now, but I would challenge all of us, to find this on Cnn.com, Cspan or Obama's website. You won't be dissapointed.
It's the old Obama all over again (like JJ, Iowa), post Iowa, New Hampshire, etc.!
Unfortunately, it's over now. We have to wait for the video tape. Lol.
But Text of the speech, for those who can't wait (thanks to Deliver47), are below. But we all know Obama's voice and inflections add that special touch! Lol. http://thepage.time.com/...
