Suggestions, Please! Obama speeches for someone new to politics

[Why Syzygy]

A friend has never been involved in politics, even though she is in her mid-40's. She is conservative on social matters, but unaware of the neo-cons' plans to abolish social security, etc.

She wants to listen to a speech by Obama. Where should she start?

Thanks again!

1. 2004 Democratic Convention speech, start with that one. Then the Iowa speech. The Philly speech on

race. His speech against the war.

3. Agreed

4. Thanks. I've never even seen the 2004 one.

I was pissed off that Kerry was the nominee. Didn't watch any of it.

8. I watched it....half interested

until Barrack Obama spoke and I stopped everything and was glued to the TV, thinking "who is this man"????

I was so excited when he announced he was running. I plan on doing all that I can to help him get elected.

(nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change...)

5. That's what I want for sure.

A tear jerker. I often get tingles and/or cry when he speaks.

6. Not a speech, per se...

The music video based on the NH speech. I like it a lot but I know some people have mixed feelings on celebrity endorsements.

7. Oh yes! The one when he lost NH was awesome!

2004 convention speech, Iowa speech, and New Hampshire speech.

The one on race didn't move me very much.
