Obama Gives Fiery Speech for Terry McAuliffe

October 23, 2021 at 5:09 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 48 Comments

Former President Obama delivered a fiery address campaigning for Terry McAuliffe, urging Democrats to flock to the polls and taking a number of swings at Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin, The Hill reports.

Said Obama: “Go out there and fight and work because you’re going to decide this election and the direction of Virginia and this country for generations to come. Don’t sit this one out.”

He added: “We ain’t got time to be tired. What is required is sustained effort.”

I loved Bill Clinton, the 90's were the best time of my life. My business grew, the economy was great and the 90's were simply the happy decade for the most part. And don't forget the great movies and music.

But enter Barack Obama, someone my age with my world view, a similar education and interests and respect for science.

Obama is probably the first and only President that I feel like I could comfortably "hang out with"...

I'd make an exception for the whole two term thing if I could... maybe.
