Honestly, I did not like the guy prior to now. I agreed on very few of his plans (although I did not really keep myself up to date on Obama), and he didn't appeal to me in the slightest.
But I decided to watch the final day of the Democratic convention. The atmosphere portrayed on television was breath taking. To produce such an atmosphere means you have to at least be a genuine candidate, if even just in character. The fact that the children of Coretta Scott and Martin Luther King Jr. came to the convention and gave elequent speeches made it apparent to a pessimistic person such as myself how significant the event was. The atmosphere did not show just a major event, it showed a cultural movement.
Then Obama gave his speech. The fact that good outward apperence is second-hand nature to a politician should not be a surprise to an intelligent viewer. His personal views and his plans for the country if he were to be elected aside, he made it quite clear that he wants the USA to acheive prosperity in that speech. During this speech, he simply inspired you to take a better interest in the US; you could say, he restored some of my faith as an American.
Now I am not completely sold on Obama, but that speech inspired me to delve deeper into both candidates and take a more proactive involvement in this election.
Did the speech give you a sense of feeling similar to mine?
