This is a couple days overdue, but i work too much.
Barack Obama has clenched the Democratic nomination.
On top of being an inspirational candidate, a strong leader, and a human who is filled with passion, drive, and determination...Barack Obama is probably THE most eloquent speaker I've ever seen.
As someone who has stood only a few feet away from him as he spoke, I understand first-hand just how powerful he is. He truly knows how to fill a room with energy and hope.
But anyone who saw his speech on Tuesday understands this too.
SEEING and HEARING him speak are what makes him so amazing. However, the words used are genius.
"Sixteen months have passed since we first stood together on the steps of the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois. Thousands of miles have been traveled. Millions of voices have been heard. And because of what you said – because you decided that change must come to Washington; because you believed that this year must be different than all the rest; because you chose to listen not to your doubts or your fears but to your greatest hopes and highest aspirations, tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another – a journey that will bring a new and better day to America. Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. "
"America, this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past. Our time to bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love."
So, this November, Clinton and Obama supporters must come together and elect change into Washington. We don't need another Bush. We don't need more war. We don't need a leader who doesn't know how to inspire the country, who doesn't know how to build energy, who doesn't know how to create change. We don't need a leader who doesn't know how to restore hope to a country who has forgotten how to hope.

"This was the moment – this was the time – when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals. "
