Obama sweeps Super Saturday
Obama wins Louisiana, Nebraska and Washington state and then gives a tremendous speech at the annual Virginia state Jefferson-Jackson Dinner. You can tell he's tired and that he's probably given this speech a thousand times already. But near the end (I've captured the last three minutes) he gives it everything and the crowd responds and he gets energy from that response.
There's been a lot said about Obama's oratory and frankly I don't even know what that term means. All I know is that when he speaks about the past and the present, he connects the dots, he gives things meaning in a way that puts you, the listener, in the middle of great things and dares you to rise up to meet the challenge of the future. THAT'S rare and it is truly inspirational.
Give it three minutes of your time and tell me if you don't agree.
