Let me preface this post by saying a couple things. First, I am a HUGE fan of Barack Obama. I think he's probably the best thing to happen to the country in a long time. A relatively honest (if not completely) politician who started at the grass roots level and has lived the life of an average person. This post is in no way meant to be hateful towards him, his accomplishment... or our President... so if you have beef with it... you know how to contact me (hatemail@polyticks.org) -- Second, I had to meticulously pour through both of his books (the audio versions) in order to pull a lot of these clips and awkwardly string them together. Some of the audio edits are very poorly done and the video is complete trash. I might as well have just faded pictures of him in and out because as someone with a day job, I simply didn't have the time to match each syllable up to it's proper mouth movement. In the end I laughed my ass off putting together what ended up being about a minute worth of video. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

It is with great pleasure I introduce.... "Barack Obama: The Lost Speeches - Episode 1" (yes that's right I already have 2 more of these bad boys in the can... )
