My favorite Obama speech is still the New Hampshire speech.
Edited on Mon Jan-19-09 08:15 PM by Bleachers7
Both convention speeches are important. His election victory speech was special. But for me, his New Hampshire speech after a surprise loss is what makes Obama who he is. It was a difficult night for Obama. You could see the pain on his face. He went from winning the entire primary in a TKO to a long slog. But the speech was a major milestone for Obama. It showed that he continued to believe in his convictions. It was the speech where Obama unveiled the "Yes We Can" theme. And it showed that Obama actually wanted it, which was debatable before that. I will always remember that night and this speech. Enjoy

1. My fave was the last one he gave on Election Eve...there were 100k+ there...
...and he was dog-tired but he ended it with the "Fired up! Ready to go!" chant....the man left everything on the field...it was amazing and inspiring to watch this man give so completely of himself for the cause...
