Maybe it's because the first vote I ever cast was for William Jefferson Clinton, maybe it's because my Mom infected me with her love of politics/government/civics at a very young age, maybe it's because I went to St. John's College and spent four years discussing (ad nauseum) the concepts of "good" and "bad", "right" and "wrong", "patriot" and "traitor"...because as would surprise exactly no.one. I'm a big ol' Barack Obama fan. To be completely honest, I was a Hillary supporter in the beginning. I thought this country could use another dose of Team Clinton's combined experience and talents working for us in Washington D.C. and around the globe. But towards the end of the primary season I was defintely starting to fall in love with Team Obama and by the end of the convention in Denver, I was totally smitten.
But since I'm a big fan of "show me the source material!", and there's a galatic ton of video out on the intertubes to choose from, here are my two current favorite Barack Obama videos***:
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION 2004
RICHMOND VIRGINIA, 2008
***CAUTION: Statements made in these speeches may move you to tears, so bring a hanky.

I actually remember watching that speech in 2004 and wishing that he was the nominee instead of the turd that they actually picked.
