Obama's speech at Univ of VA 8/29

I caught the Prez speech today on CSPAN. It was moving. Ironically, it was his standard stump speech of the last month or so, but with a more intense voice a choice of vision, and a harsher critique of the current GOP vision. Most memorable was POTUS proud contrast of ObamaCare to RomneyDoesn'tCare , a sound bite to be featured by the MSM and sure to crack a few smiles.

But I was equally impressed with POTUS rhetorical device of listing his accomplishments and giving all the credit to his voters with "You did that!" It's we the people, who decide the policies that will prevail, providing we get out the vote.
