in that there is nothing said in either of them that could not have been said at the DNC. Barbara tells Dems who we are and what we stand for, talks about change, hope, and the spirit of the Democratic party. Barbara's speeches should have been sold as a package to raise money and used as a mega inspiration. Understanding the context of her speeches Viet Nam war fatigue, and the Bush 1 economic situation make her remarks even more prescient. Please take the time to view the speeches in their entirety (like when Romney is speaking somewhere) or maybe during the NASCAR event. It will be well, worth your time.
