On Oct. 2, 2002 Barack Obama spoke in Chicago at an anti war rally speaking out against the coming of the iraq war.
Few voices at that time spoke up however, Obama was one of the voices that did.
Today is the 5th Anniversary of that speech. However, the original film of it has been lost and only 13 seconds survive. Watch as Obama speaks those 13 seconds and the people finish it for him. Spoken by the average person, his words are not just eloquent but, even more powerful

3. Great speech...

But I feel the same way I feel when I hear edwards speak eloquently about helping the poor and middle class,....it sounds awesome,..but will they put they're money where they're mouth is, or is this just campaigning?

4. I love Obama's new TV ad "What if ..."
