Barack Obama's Full Speech to the DNC

Not to be political but what the heck. Having majored in political science and minored in philosophy, I like to dig into the issues at times.

Although I will not disclose my political affiliation, I will tell you that Taunya and I were glued to the tube for all of the DNC. We really looked forward to hearing what Barak was going to say. When we saw it, we were completely floored. What a story of this young man who defied the odds to turn out to be someone truly special. This is the underdog. This is the story that we all watch in movies and in the theater(s) and root for in the end. It was this history in the making and we were thrilled to be apart of it. I thought he did a good job of addressing the issues that we Americans face everyday.

Not only does he speak with conviction, passion and presence. He is you and he is me. We have all been in his spot at one point in our life. For some, the road was a bit more windy and for some it was much longer than expected. No matter which, you stayed the course. You did and that is what helped you get to where you are today. Look back and ask yourself if you are one of those who were handed something or if you were one of those who had to work for every bit of it. If you were, then the choice is clear.

We will be glued to the tube when the RNC is on as it will be interesting to see how the 2 year governor from Alaska and the veteran with 13 houses can help us see the benefits of the last 8 years.
