Brilliant Obama Speech at King's Church in GA

Updated: I just watched one of the most inspirational speeches I've heard Obama give. See below for the full speech, link to the transcript and a couple of news summaries. Here's a great quote:

“The division, the stereotypes, the scape-goating, the ease with which we blame the plight of ourselves on others -– all of that distracts us from the common challenges we face, war and poverty; injustice and inequality,” he added, drawing applause from the crowd. “We can no longer afford to build ourselves up by tearing each other down. We can no longer afford to traffic in lies or fear or hate. It is the poison that we must purge from our politics; the wall that we must tear down before the hour grows too late."




This is why I am so excited about Obama. This is why we need him as our President.

This is why I am voting for Obama right here. And I am a 24 year old conservative US Marine infantryman. Our government squanders billions of dollars while illegal immagrants by the millions stream across our borders. National security is an illusion and our liberty and freedoms that we have paid for in our own blood are being voluntarily handed over by fat lazy Americans in the name of "security". We need change.
