Title: Barack Obama victory speech nomination 11/04 View count: 1089 Rating: 5.0 (2 ratings) Description: Barack Obama Democratic Nomination Victory Speech A subdued President-elect Barack Obama Tuesday night gave a winner's speech that won't be long remembered. Obama: -- Correctly praised John McCain and invited McCain to join him in improving the country. -- Warned enemies that "we will beat you." But he also reached out in his first tentative attempt to win back support for the United States from our foreign allies. -- Reached out to McCain supporters who didn't vote for him and told them he wanted to earn their support. -- Said there would be many challenges ahead, times when he would have to make tough decisions. -- Got on a "yes, we can" riff to end his speech, saying great changes are ahead, that we need to "reclaim the American dream." All in all, not a great speech. But give the guy a break; he's got to be tired after months and months of constant campaigning.
