Singin' in the Rain

Barack Obama speaking to a crowd of about 25,000 in Fredricksburg, VA, Sat 27 Sep 2008, the night after the first debate.

I think it's fair to say he made the weather cooperate.

Lines I especially liked:

The truth is, through ninety minutes of debate, John McCain had a lot to say about me, but he had nothing to say about you.

Here in American, our destiny is not written for us, it's written by us.

Closing minutes are also really nice. Wish they would mike the crowds at these moments.

I'm sure many screen captures will be taken from this video by the wingnuts, to be made into still ads showing Obama squinting or frowning or whatever. So be it. This is our guy, and we know the truth.
