Tonight in Madison, Wisconsin during another stellar hope fueled victory speech* the good Senator from Illinois again lifted up and encouraged Americans of every standing. There were the standard stump issues that Washington DC needs a serious make over. Agreed. Obama also spoke about how health care needs to be more affordable. Agreed. The war in Iraq is costing waaaaaay too much and needs to stop. Agreed.
I could go on and on, but the one point that I want to drive home for anyone out there that might be reading this. Steve Lacy and Matt Clare I am talking to you. Tonight Barack came out swinging and he looked like a national candidate. He came after McCain, GW, “his cousin Dick Chenney”, and Hillary (although she was not mentioned by name) and he was firm and he delivered. The point that got me up off the couch and got me to go over and start typing tonight was when Obama presented a college student heavy Madison with his idea for a $4,000 tuition credit for every student for every year, but he was quick to calm the applause and proceeded to tell the American people that those students would have to volunteer in homeless shelters, with veterans, join the peace corps, or learn a foreign language to receive the tuition credit. He then went on to instill that hopefulness by leading from the front and telling the young people of this wonderful nation that “[Sen. Obama as President] will invest in you, but you need to invest in your country”
Get out there and do for others
*NOTE: I am starting to get used to these speeches and look forward to them like all those fans of Lost look forward to that CBS drama about a plane that crashed on an island and the island was haunted but there was really other people on the island and wait why are they showing something about someone on the island but they aren’t on the island – total digression, and a long winded way of saying I really really like watching these speeches*
