Barack Obama Democratic Nomination Victory Speech

I don't follow the US Election campaign but this speech really stung me right into my spine. I never can bear election speeches, not in Malaysia, I don't (with all the hatred speeches) but this 1 is exceptional. This guy is very gentlemen, he attack his opponents but in very professional manner full-supported with old and current facts. He attack not his opponents but their thoughts.

I never felt as motivated and aroused in any speech but this one really got me up my seat. I watched the half-an-hour video twice. Never thought I have such a long attention span when listening to his speech. I don't think it's his message which got me attracted primarily. It is his eloquent, informative, strong speech with no script!

He really made people believe that the changes he is about to make to America is because of their efforts and faith. He made them believe that everyone of them is part of his core team.
I know we never know the real side of US Presidents (everyone liked Bush's speeches during his presidential campaigns) until they are ones, but Barack Obama surely the best one to lead US.

p/s below is the short introduction about him I copied from Wiki.

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. (born August 4, 1961) is the junior United States Senator from Illinois and the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party in the 2008 presidential election. He is the first African American to be the presumptive presidential nominee of any major American political party.

"Since announcing his presidential campaign in February 2007, Obama has emphasized ending the Iraq war, increasing energy independence, decreasing the influence of lobbyists, and providing universal health care as top national priorities."


A graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, Obama worked as a community organizer, university professor, political activist, and lawyer before serving in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. Following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, he announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate in January 2003. After winning a landslide primary victory in March 2004, Obama delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in November 2004 with 70% of the vote.

As a member of the Democratic minority in the 109th Congress, he cosponsored legislation to control conventional weapons and to promote greater public accountability in the use of federal funds. He also made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In the current 110th Congress, he has sponsored legislation regarding lobbying and electoral fraud, climate change, nuclear terrorism, and care for returned U.S. military personnel. Since announcing his presidential campaign in February 2007, Obama has emphasized ending the Iraq war, increasing energy independence, decreasing the influence of lobbyists, and providing universal health care as top national priorities.
