Another massive crowd turned out to see Barack speak in Manchester early this morning, and Barack continued to display the presidential demeanor that impressed so many at last night’s debate.
Watch this clip of his speech:
Fired up supporters and late-deciding voters alike filled the Palace Theater in Manchester to capacity.
Before the event, I spoke with Holly, a travel agent and Obama supporter from New London, who was holding a “Michelle Obama for First Lady” sign as she waited. She was able to get Barack to autograph her sign, and is hopeful that she’ll manage to get Michelle’s signature as well sometime before January 8th.
“I’ve been around the world through my job,” she said, “and it hurts me to see that our image has taken such a beating. Barack is our best hope for a return to respected leadership abroad.”
After Barack finished speaking, I caught up with Kate from Manchester. Kate had been wavering in her choice for president, but today she reports that Barack has left her “speechless.”
“His vision for hope and unity has completely won me over,” she said. “I see him and feel that he can lead the country to heal the wounds of the past few decades.”
Kate hastened to add, “A leader like this only comes around once in a generation, and I think we’ve found him.”
