While MSM covered Cain winning the Florida straw poll (spit take), a real speech took place tonight. In case you missed it, President Obama spoke at the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Awards Dinner. Here's what he said at the end when he and the audience got more than a little fired up:

"The future rewards those who press on. With patient and firm determination we will press on. I don’t know about you CBC, but the future rewards those who press on. With patient and firm determination, I’m going to press on for jobs. I’m going to press on for equality. I’m going to press on for the sake of our children. I’m going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I’m going to press on. I expect all of you to march with me, and press on. Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes, shake it off, stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying, we are going to press on, we’ve got work to do. CBC. God Bless You and God Bless the United States of America."

I'm putting Part 2 first because he went all "Whoomp! There It Is" in this part. It's on people! h/t to Diogenes 2008 for the youtube videos.

Part 2

Here's a link to the transcript (h/t Pam from Calif): http://govne.ws/...
