4. Oh, snap. Here it is.. he's hit the core of it:
"if they are disaffected and cynical and fearful and told that it can't be done, then it doesn't. I'm running for president because I want to tell them, yes, we can. And that's why I think they're responding in such large numbers."

Is that not why we're ALL clamoring for this.. whether we support Obama or Edwards.. because we've had to sit by and feel idly HELPLESS as this senseless war rages on;as caskets come home draped with flags that we are not allowed to see; as the leaders we elected tell us "nothing can be done, we don't have enough votes, we can't veto." When they tell us we CAN torture and we CANT Impeach. He has hit on the core of our rage and it is the helplessness of being told we "can't" be a good and prosperous country again. Obama (and Edwards, to be fair) are telling us "YOU CAN"..

Perfetto :-)
