Barack Obama on the recession: "Government has a role to play"
"Our free market was never meant to be a free license to take whatever you can get, however you can get it."
[2008-03-27]

  • If I could vote

    This one speech - alone - would have me choosing Senator Obama. Its erudition, its scope, its historical perspective. Hell, even, its culturally-evocative setting...

    First, "A More Perfect Union", now "Make Visible the Hand." What a brilliant communicator.

    Those too young to remember should watch the video of Bobby Kennedy's extemporaneous announcement of Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination to a shocked, heartbroken crowd. He dared use poetry and made it a moment of shared mourning and national loss.

    Words matter.
