Obama's "Closing Argument" is OUTSTANDING

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

Perfect for the last week of a national campaign.

Pure tent-show old-style religion. An emotional appeal to the lost sheep.

A loving but desperate, "Take my hand if you want to live." (As delivered by Gene Hackman in the original Poseidon Adventure, not by Arnold in Terminator II.)

This late in a campaign people are no longer thinking, They are feeling.

I think this is a VERY good close.

1. Yes but still very substantive too.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

13. Sure, the words are substantive.

But the tone is a loving but desperate, "Take my hand if you want to live."

(As delivered by Gene Hackman in the original Poseidon Adventure, not by Arnold in Terminator II.)

I struck "entirely" emotional in the OP though, in light of your comment. (and added the weird movie references.)

4. I came home early just to catch it. "Hope over fear...Unity over division"

Obama blew me away with this speech, but what else is new

6. Contrast that shit with Grandpa McCorrupt's tiny whiny ramblings today.

He should be embarrassed.

14. "He'll put the middle class through a wringer" bzzzzzzttttttt

[quantass]

7. I liked his passion near the end.

[polichick]

8. Agreed - it is exactly the right thing at the right time...

16. LIVE STREAMING

Go to directly to Obama's website as the speech is happening. I hate watching CNN and MSNBC because they cut away too quickly. And they have too much stuff on the screen.

15. It was just as good as the one he gave at the convention

Once again, Obama hit it out the park. His tone was more about bringing people together and making sacrifices. Contrast that with McKKKain's angry speeches and Palin's 100% lies.

20. I haven't watched it yet. I'm going to see him tomorrow and I want to hear

it for the first time while I'm there.
