This is a really great speech and, I’d argue, the best representation solid of a man Obama is. Watch the follow-up, too (even though it’s just another 3 minutes of name dropping), because it cuts off a little early (thanks YouTube time limit restrictions). Hilarious to see the difference between how these two guys speak when their primary audience is a room full of politicians vs. American voters in these “debates”. Ridiculous the difference… granted any “straight talk” would inevitably be destroyed as uninformed and “not ready to be President” or something, so I guess it makes sense. Disappointing.
Obama is hard as shit here, though. Word up.
And in the spirit of fairness, here is what McCain did with his 15 minutes at the same event.
