Warning!

I am definitely more on the liberal side. So I am sure that my blogs reflect that.

Obama's Speech - No Money from Lobbyists or PAC's

Obama's Post Penn. Primary Speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEskvfRx40I

This is a speech given by Barack Obama after Clinton's win in Penn. He opens by comparing his fund raising tactics compared to Hillary Clinton's. He claims that they have never taken any money from lobbyists or PACs, while Clinton has. He then continues to compare what they want to do to what Truman, Roosevelt, and Kennedy. The crowd seems to love him. It is interesting to note that almost all the people standing behind him are white. Coincidence? I think not. He also discusses that he does not want us to be divided by the red and the blue states. He is a very inspirational speaker. People even start chanting "Obama! Obama!" after his inspirational words. He promises that he will not be a perfect president, but the the will do his best and always listen to what the people want. He continues to inspire by saying things such as "Change happens from the bottom up" and "Things happen on the streets of America, not just behind the doors in Washington". I love that he does not only speak about himself and his campaign, but what all of his supporters and the American people can do: "You can make this election....we going to help those families without health care and those sitting around their table unsure of how they are going to pay their bills". He inspires the people listening that if they vote for him, that we will all work together and will all be contributing to making change happen. I really like the way that he speaks and makes people feel as if we are going to get through this together, rather than that we must only rely on him to. I think that this is what separates him from the other politicians.
