Not that I needed much more but still, can you imagine Romney giving a speech like that and getting the slightest bit emotionally invested? Anyone who was on the fence but ended up voting for Obama needs to see that if they had any doubt they made the right decision. We brought back someone who does care about people.

It was a grueling campaign, and Obama fought tirelessly throughout. To see him stand not only in awe of, but in humble gratitude to, those who had his back all the way was inspiring - and, as you've pointed out, irrefutable proof that the right man is in the White House.

(29,682 posts)and he DOES really care, it's just that simple. He has the a heart full of compassion for his fellow human beings. I don't feel like there has been anyone like him for a long long time. He FEELS their pain, not like Clinton who just said he did. Barack just has this quality of belief in him that WE all can do better if we all do better for all of us. Wordy I know, but I truly believe in him....so happy I worked and voted for him again.
