Obama addresses his HQ staff after the win.


Here is a video of Obama addressing the staff at his headquarters after clinching the nomination.

It is every bit as good as his stump speeches but I thought more personal.  He also makes some really good points about the election.

To paraphrase:  While the primaries were important, the stakes weren't as high because if they stumbled  - another qualified Democrat would still win and everything would be fine.  However, now that they have won, the burden is on him/the staff.  They HAVE to win, the entire country is depending on them.

It is a pretty inspiring rallying of the troops and a good insight into an Obama administration.

Here is the video - worth the watch.

wait, I just watched this and didn't see the part you talked about. I just saw him talking about how great his staff is. Did I miss something?

That part starts at around 9:50.

Thanks to the poster for the link! Very interesting.

Oh, thanks! I don't know what happened but I hadn't been able to see the whole thing the first time.

For a post that contains both the Obama HQ video and a variety of specific tools for getting involved,

It's an impressive video. Seeing that, I just wonder how Obama would have responded to someone calling Clinton a bitch in his presence, or calling McCain a bastard.

I think the Obama staff is either too classy or savvy to call the other candidates such things(at least not while the camera is on!).
