in one week

i really liked the excerpt of obama's speech on tuesday -

In one week, you can turn the page on policies that have put the greed and irresponsibility of Wall Street before the hard work and sacrifice of folks on Main Street.

In one week, you can choose policies that invest in our middle-class, create new jobs, and grow this economy from the bottom-up so that everyone has a chance to succeed; from the CEO to the secretary and the janitor; from the factory owner to the men and women who work on its floor.

In one week, you can put an end to the politics that would divide a nation just to win an election; that tries to pit region against region, city against town, Republican against Democrat; that asks us to fear at a time when we need hope.

In one week, at this defining moment in history, you can give this country the change we need.

I think it's really inspirational and the rest of the speech was really patient in explaining why people should vote for him. It wasn't patronizing but it was very eye-opening and honest about his plans and how he sees those plans working for people and making a difference in their lives. I wish I was American so I could vote!
