JFK, RFK. Since then, there has been a long dry spell for me. Call Obama a cultist, call him inexperienced, call him anything you want. His words inspire me and give me hope and it's been way too long since I've felt that way. If you go to his website to contribute, you will hear his Super Tuesday speech. It was amazing!

2. Or you can watch Obama's speech for free here on DU
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 11:18 AM by Apollo11
Obama's speech (part 1): www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x91306
(part 2): www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x91308

Then have a listen to Hillary's speech (also on DU).

Hillary's speech: www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x91315

Then ask yourself why it is that Hillary managed to say twice as much in half the time. :eyes:

4. Get ready to shed some tears when Obama gets raked over the coals in the general election
Preaching goes over big to win Primaries, but preaching without substance during a General Election just goes over...

like a lead balloon.
