Floored By Obama

"We are choosing hope over fear..." - Obama

Barak Obama rolled over Hilary Clinton in the South Carolina Primary last night and delivered what is surely one of the best political speeches of my generation. We watched it on YouTube after reading Caroline Kennedy's New York Times
OpEd
in which she compared Obama to JFK. She pointed out that "Barack Obama made the right call on the most important issue of our time by opposing the war in Iraq from the beginning."

Thank you Caroline. Watch Obama's speech and tell me whether you think this man could become the next president of the United States. CNN is reporting that Obama got 55 of the vote, Hilary 27 percent. He's going into Super Tuesday with a strong organization, Oprah, and a lot of inspired people. “The choice in this election,” said Obama, “is not between religions or genders. It’s not about rich versus poor; young versus old, and it is not about black versus white. It’s about the past versus the future.”
