Barack Obama rocks AFSCME forum

Barack Obama's speech at the Take Back America Conference organized by the AFSCME labor union was reportedly stole the show and was one of his finest on record.

Ezra Cline wrote of the speech:


Obama gave the best speech I've seen him give -- and I was at the 2004 Democratic convention.

[Obama] argued that when citizens turn away and the voters accustom themselves to disappointment… a vacuum opens up. And politics, like nature, abhors vacuums. So the lobbyists and the special interests and the lawyers rush in to fill it.
