Obama understands speech's mobilizing power
by Martin Edwin Andersen

Senator Clinton certainly denigrated the power of speech in a democracy in last night's debate in New Hampshire. But she should remember this ...

When Cicero finished speaking, the people said, “My, how well he spoke.” When Demosthenes finished speaking the people said, “Let us march!”

Candidates should strive to emulate Demosthenes. (It gets us fired up and ready to go ;)
