What an incredibly awesome day! [View all]

Two amazing speeches by President Obama (and Michelle, too) which were the most contemporary and progressive campaign speeches by a President that I've seen in my lifetime. I'd put these opening salvos of our Democratic campaign on a par with Franklin Delano Roosevelt's first inaugural address. There is so much substance and direction in Barack Obama's remarks that we can take forward in our advocacy and activism; in this election, and beyond. He spoke to us as our leader; as a teacher; as an organizer; and as a fellow American. I'm looking forward with pride and optimism to following President Obama's campaign for re-election to victory -- and to the ultimate advancement of our Democratic agenda!
