Clinton: “I listened . . . and found my own voice”
Sort by Firedoglake (Free subscription) - 01/09/2008
In her victory speech last night, Hillary Clinton probably nailed the underlying reason for her remarkable comeback in New Hampshire. In the last three days before the primary, she had changed her pattern, talked less and listened more. "I listened to you, and in the process, I found my own voice."

See also the original NH speech Like many who saw Barack Obama speak at the 2004 Democratic National Convention , I remember what a powerful breath of fresh air that was.

Obama the Builder :: Wake up America

The media loves Barack Obama. There's no denying it, he's good on the camera, he speaks well, he carries himself well, and, despite Bill Clinton's claims for the title, if he wins, he truly will be the first black President of the United States. What does he stand for? What, really, are his driving motivations and philosophies? How much attention has been paid to his record during his bid for the White...

Last election cycle, a politician's own ill-chosen words became a viral video that cost him his candidacy . This November, will a politician get undermined by an ill-conceived viral video made by his own supporters? That's the thought I had after watching “ Yes We Can “, a new YouTube video currently storming The Viral Video chart . It's a putative tribute to Senator Barack Obama’s stirring words...

Mary Anastasia O'Grady has an excellent article in the WSJ, Why Brazil Isn't Ashamed to Exploit Its Oil . She explains why in detail, but it all boils down to this: Brazilians understand the importance of energy to their future, while Americans do not. Allow me to reiterate that: BRAZILIANS UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF ENERGY TO THEIR FUTURE, WHILE AMERICANS DO NOT. The difference between the Brazilians,...

The great man embodies what is already in us. He reflects what we see as our own national spirit. He can't inspire otherwise. He doesn't t inspire because he's magic. He inspires because he has learned what we know, and given us back our idealism in ways we understand and recognize.
