It's about what I would expect him to say, but he makes some legitimate points. I anxiously await the day the Bush presidency is in the rear-view mirror, and would have no problem with a President Obama.

Pretty good response. He spoke very clearly and made his goals known. The cameraman should consider not zooming in so close though fgs.

The greatness of a man can, I believe, be seen in the quality of his aims.

That is why I like the Buddhist prayer, 'I vow to save all sentient beings.'

Go Obama!

Is this anywhere that isn't youtube or an embedded youtube? Once again, that craptastic site just hangs and doesn't load the video for me.

Obama makes me punch the air and say "Hell yeah."

I have hope for him. That doesn't happen often.

Edit: Looks like I'm just voting for the lesser of all evils, again. How disa-fucking-ppointing.

I think equally encouraging is that Obama continues to explore the forms of media embraced by younger generations to communicate his message.

Presidential Elections rarely draw young people...20 somethings rarely engage the political process...I find it encouraging that Obama is targeting young people as his core for support.

If Obama wants to beat Hillary, he needs to draw independents and young voters...she has the female Baby Boomer demographic locked, which is sizeable, politically motivated and quite powerful.
