and demand a compromise. and the phone lines didn t light up for a day or two. so i think he s had some impact. but it s really hard in these times to move the needle. what moves the needle now is what he s done since the jobs speech, which is to get out there and fight day in and day out for his program and show people he s ready to flow a few punches. his speeches were brilliant. he was capable of one-liners. i will never forget the speech he gave in 2002 when i first skovred him. only in this country is my story possible. what an amazing line. it s so pro-american. so much to the heart of our nature. barack obama. president of the united states. no other country would make that decision. the skinny kid with the big ears and the funny name he also
