It goes to show how much can happen in four years. Back in 2004 I didn’t give this great speech any attention. I couldn’t have cared less. I didn’t like politics, and I definitely didn’t like anything labeled Democrat or Liberal.
Well today, for the first time (sadly), I listened to this speech given by Barack Obama at the 2004 Democrat National Convention, and I was inspired. I feel like I’ve lost a bunch of time up until now. I wish I hadn’t been so short-sighted as to believe that in this great country you’re either on “my side” or you’re the devil.
I love the rhetoric of Obama, and I hope this election process doesn’t quell his spirit and passion for making this country better through politics. I know I couldn’t do it. Godspeed Barack.
Watch, listen, or read the entire speech here.
