<p>One of my daughters pointed me to this video the other day. Before this, I never did understand the “fired up ready to go” message in Obama’s speeches!</p>

<p>great link- I hadn’t understood it before .</p>

<p>People talk about what change Obama is talking about.</p>

<p>It occurred to me- that I have already witnessed an inkling of how deep the change could go.
Voters with light skin and dark skin have found a shared excitement in a man who could lead them together. Not only “brothers under the skin”, but even on these boards- people who have been traditionally right of center- are finding much in common with those on the left.
This is truely exciting for our country.
It also was uplifting to see the states that Obama reached- not just the big states , with big cities, but those who make up the backbone of our country- all those square states ;)- that was encouraging to me- I get pretty tired about hearing of LA & NYC & I imagine Fargo does too. ( Obama took 61% in N.D.)</p>

<p>Whoopee!!!</p>

<p>Thank you for the link. Even though it is supposed to be uplifting, for some reason it brought tears to my eyes.</p>

<p>Good tears?</p>

<p>Tears are always good (unless they are fake).</p>

<p>LOL–I just posted about that on the 5 million thread…</p>

<p>If they were fake they were despicable. </p>

<p>I think they may have been genuine but mostly driven by self-pity. Good for her if that gave her a chance to blow off some steam.</p>

<p>It is telling that Obama makes his audience tear up while in Hillary’s case she is the one tearing up.</p>

<p>LOL, great link!! Such a sense of humor, and what a contrast to current President, in all ways. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, could we have such energy in the White House!</p>

<p>As I recall, the part of this story which is not included in the segment, is that Obama arrived by plane to a campaign stop early in his campaign, and as he deplaned he saw that a small group of people were waiting for him. </p>

<p>It was a bit awkward, especially when a woman, wearing a big hat, started the Fired Up , Ready to Go chant, and he was unsure about what was going on, who she was. She turned out to be a local council woman, who is known for this chant, and how WONDERFUL To actually SEE her in this link.</p>

<p>Thanks for posting !</p>

<p>Here’s a Youtube video from Labor Day in Hudson where he tells the story you mention.

What’s telling about this video is that it’s a small crowd, like a couple hundred people, and he’s giving them the same energy and enthusiasm that he does to his crowds of 15,000.</p>
