Transcript of Obama’s Acceptance Speech
by tristero
It is vitally important that we continue to note the extraordinary speech Obama gave, so here is a transcript and a short quote:
America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.
It is also vitally important that we never forget how profoundly significant a date August 28 has become in American history. Most of us who lived through the Sixties could never come close to imagining the opportunity to vote for an African-American as president on a major party platform. History was made this Thursday and nothing in the hullabaloo of the latest news can possibly overshadow that.
I hope sometime next week to look at his speech in detail.
