If you watch nothing else today: (End of Barack's Reno Speech)

[Clio the Leo]

(and for the purposes of this exercise, we're counting October 1 as "today" since it's so late at the time of this posting lol)

For those of you who didn't see the end of Barack's speech in Reno today, here are the last five minutes. This is classic Obama stuff, prose reminiscent of the 2004 speech that got us all here to begin with.

Note, the end is apparently a last minute change from the prepared draft that has been posted. It ends differently. And if you are apt to cry when you get emotional, you might want to get a tissue ready.

If the final stretch of the election race is making you weary, this will give you the strength to keep on calling, keep on canvassing, keep on talking, keep on going! America's best days are yet to come!

The beginning of the speech is more policy and detail...but this part! Well, this part is like a masterpiece of oratory. He will make a great President!

5. The watched the whole thing live on

cnn stream and I know I felt like I'd been through a wild ride on an emotional roller coaster after he was done.

And, I declared it one of the best speeches he's ever given.
