This is amazing! What a great speech, very educational
What a speech!!!! My Gosh that should be played everywhere it can get played.
O am deeply moved as a black man by the thought that people are waking up to what is in their best interest - and as a result moving us to a more perfect union.....
Yeah, Tavis Smiley needs to sit somewhere in a corner and take notice. For all of his intellectual babble, he has shown himself to be full of it.
This is what makes America the greatest place on Earth. God Bless that man and I hope those that needed to hear that speech hear it.
this is the passion I've seen all over from our movement.
God Bless Americans as we are truly great at heart, and this man and these people prove that.
Every progressive talk show hosts need to have him booked on their show NOW!!!!
Thank you for speaking up Mr. Trumka!
Agree. McCain does not value unions and has a very low rating with the AFL-CIO. Aside from union jobs, where else in the blue-collar realm can a person find a living wage with benefits for him or her and their families? Great speech addressing the 1 ton elephant.
Get this man on the air!
Bravo! Bravo! Obama needs to put this man on his staff. He is terrific.
I know why this guy is the leader of that union.
Brilliant.
I saw this on youtube earlier today and was cheering, what a moving speech.
Obama 08
This speech is awesome! I hope as many people see it as possible. I posted it on my myspace page and sent it out to everyone on my contact list.
Where is my credit for posting this video here 5 mins ago? ;-)
ccmd: Many props to you. This should be distributed to CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and yes, Fox!
Well all be acredited by electing Obama!
McCain has nowhere to go now but down. He can run away from President Bush, but he can't run away from the Republican Party. The Republicans will be regarded from now on as "the party that wrecked America." Over the weeks ahead, as carnage in the economy and the financial markets ramps up, it will become increasingly clear. It is important that this meme be spread through the internet. I urge all commentators to adopt and spread the idea that the Republicans are "the party that wrecked America." It will work because it is the truth. Just spread the word.
This is fantastic! This is a man of conviction and bravery!
Bravo!
