This is the one with Obama’s speech.

I read here that speech that Barack Obama gave after taking Iowa made Chris Matthews cry (there’s a lot of crying going on in politics lately…what’s with that?!). So I jumped over to Obama’s YouTube page and checked out the speech.
I’ve embedded it here for you to check out if you’re interested:
There are some inspirational quotations that could be pulled from this. I was particularly moved by the “this is a historic moment” type of talk. I’m also moved by these quotations:
“We’re choosing hope over fear.”
“9/11 is not a way to scare up votes, but a challenge that should unite America and the world against the common threats of the 21st century.”
“Hope is what led me here today. With a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas, and a story that could only happen in the United States of America.”
Obama is wooing me.
Ugh...just realizing a 23 page report is due in a week, and I haven't started.
