Obama's Speech to Supporters

By Jeralyn

Obama is in San Antonio, a city he didn't win. I wonder why he picked it to spend tonight.

He says we may not know the Texas results until tomorrow. He congratulates Hillary on Rhode Island and says while there are a lot of votes out in Ohio, she "apparently" won there.

We have the same delegate lead we had this morning and we are on our way to winning the nomination. "Si se puede."

Decades ago as a community organizer........ (again?) Talks about youth, a reason to believe, inspire the nation to come together, we are turning the page, we are ready to write the next chapter.

More...

He says he congratulated McCain and now starts to attack him. Now he reverts to his stump speech. Same phrases, change in America, Wall St. vs. Main St., John McCain and Hillary Clinton have echoed each other mocking his call for change. They should know the words did not begin with him, but in factories in Ohio and TX, etc. I'm waiting for a JFK or MLK, Jr. reference, not yet.

Similar to Hillary, got an envelope from a poor woman with money inside. Lectures on how parents need to put a book rather than a video game in their kids' hands. We rise and fall as one...brother's keeper....

This is the Obama we've come to know. A professionally prepared speech that he delivers well.

"If I am the nominee of this party..."

Now it's just the speechwriter talking. The slick phrases tumble out...he won't use politics as a bludgeon, the eyes of the world are watching.

"Yes we can." The end.
