Barack Obama in Portsmouth, Ohio

I gotta admit, I enjoy seeing Barack Obama speak to audiences, I wish I could see him in person.

Here's a clip from a rally yesterday in Portsmouth, Ohio.



He talks about stopping at a diner and talking with people, taking pictures with employees and meeting the Republican owner and asking him "how's business?" You gotta see it!

The guy says "his customers can't afford to eat out right now."

Barack Obama is a much better speaker than John McCain. He knows how to talk about what matters to the people. McCain always sounds as if he is a grumpy old man talking down to his grand kids or something. When people hear Barack, they hear change. They see someone who wants to lead. Someone that will finally take this country in a different direction.

Obama does a great job at bringing up the fact that the economic issues facing our country right now is serious and at the top of most American's priorities.

He also very effectively, discusses how the Republican campaign advisers have stated that "if we don't turn the page and stop talking about this financial mess, we're going to lose." Barack takes a jab back, "its the people losing their home, losing their jobs, that McCain should be thinking about, not his campaign!"

Good stuff. Take a look if you have a second.
