Obama's 2002 speech, delivered by supporters

like the will.i.am video on "Yes we can," hearing Obama's words spoken by other people — in this case, ordinary supporters around the country — gives them a new resonance. Obama was absolutely right in his judgment of what giving Bush authorization to attack Iraq would mean. listening to this speech re-emphasizes that when it comes to the judgment necessary to answer the call at 3 a.m., or any other time, he's the person we want in the White House.
