Barack Obama's most recent speech, taken from [livejournal.com profile] unwoman's journal. I think she said it best:

This is possibly the most honest, insightful, and necessary speech I've ever heard from a modern politician. It's 37 minutes long -- but completely worth it for all Americans -- when you have time to watch it, please do.

...to which I'd add: Especially if you're on the fence about voting for him. This speech exemplifies why I am excited by the prospect of having this person in the white house. Here is a man able and willing to speak with intelligence and eloquence about the subtleties of a complex issue. It's not loud, it doesn't lend its self to sound bytes, but it really demonstrates the combination of brains and heart I would like to see in charge of this country for a change.

The text can be had here if you'd prefer to read it.
