Barack tells us: Don't "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory." Work hard for "the next 18 days"!!

Edited on Fri Oct-17-08 09:10 AM by ClarkUSA

In a pool report from last night's joint Bruce Springsteen & Billy Joel concert in NYC, here's a message from Obama to us:

Mr. Obama urged his supporters to buckle down and do more than send money.

"Don't underestimate the capacity of Democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory," Mr. Obama said. "Don't
underestimate our ability to screw it up."

He added, "I want everybody running scared. Over the next 18 days, other than your family and your job, I want you
to make a decision that there is nothing more important than bringing about this change that we need."

He closed with a classic tune of his own: "Fired up, Ready to Go!"

Yes, that's right, cue the B-Roll for Edith Childs, Greenwood, S.C.

The band returned for an encore, "Signed Sealed Delivered," which drew Michelle Obama out onto the stage to join her
husband in a little dance, a little hip bumping and a lot of clapping to the beat.

3. He's very perceptive.

We have a tendency to do that.
