Barack Obama in Denver



this video is 45 minutes long, so if you have an hour, get comfortable!

Barack Obama accepted the Democratic Party's nomination for President last night, and delivered this speech last night in Denver, CO. Oration is definitely one of this man's greatest talents. It's crazy how humble and well-composed this man is able to convey himself as, despite his insane celebrity status (peep the crowd chanting pretty much everything he says -- when is the last time we saw that type of response in politics?). He's a deductive thinker, which I like. He has ideas, plausible ideas, which I like. He presents facts, none of the cryptic messages we've been getting for the last 8 years. The most important factors in this election for me are those concerned with the military for obvious reasons (I'm an Army brat, ya'll). His projected policies concerning the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Russian aggression, Iran, ect., and the ones I pay attention to the most. What about everyone else? Did anybody catch his reference to 2 Corinthians 4:18 (at around 42:35): "that makes us fix our eye not on what is seen, but what is unseen". That's my favorite verse! Thoughts, opinions, complaints, rants? Is anybody a McCain supporter? Care to share why?

Register to vote here! The deadline is 25 days prior to election day, which is on November 4, 2008. Remember that forms can be completed online but you still have to mail them in, which can take up to 3 days. So don't sleep!
