Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to a beautiful new Sunday. For those of you who are new to this little space of mine, Sundays are usually reserved for what I call Audio Foreplay Sundays. Audio Foreplay is a curated sampling of the music that accompanies my seventh day, a day dedicated to rest and relaxation, or it serves as a soundtrack reflecting the past week of my life.
As you probably know, last night Barack Obama won the South Carolina primary with an overwhelming eighty one percent of the black vote compared to Clinton’s seventeen percent, according to exit polls cited by Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC. Obama also earned twenty four percent of the white vote, with Clinton and Edwards sharing the remainder.
Today’s selection is not about the sounds of music but rather the powerful words of victory.
Obama delivered a speech that addressed many of the points I felt were crucial, both in terms of policy and in response to his critics. I was genuinely pleased, perhaps even proud, to see him finally show a backbone during the South Carolina primary debate earlier this week. He stood his ground against Hillary and Bill Clinton’s repeated misrepresentations of his positions and statements. It is clear he is beginning to understand that this election is not about being the nice guy. When the dog bites, you bite back to earn respect.
Below is his South Carolina victory speech. Notably missing is the particular cadence that sparked so much discussion after his Iowa victory speech.
What are your thoughts on his performance during the South Carolina primary debate and his victory speech last night?
