“Everything I’ve seen has convinced me that Barack Obama is the man for this job.”

"Barack Obama is ready to lead America. Barack Obama is ready to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Barack Obama is ready to be President of the United States."

8:15

"Barack Obama knows that America cannot be strong abroad when we are not strong at home."

8:18

Really going off on the GOP’s shitty economic record, torture, Katrina, cronyism — "America can do better than that. And Barack Obama will do better than that."

"Sixteen years ago, the Republicans said I was too young and inexperienced to be Commander in Chief. It didn’t work in 1992 because we were on the right side of history. And it won’t work in 2008 because Barack Obama is on the right side of history."

Wow, awesome.
