A moving speech by our President.

"It's not about politics, it's about what's right."

I watched one of the mom's behind Obama, I do not know which one she is but remembered her face. Tonight, her expression was so heartbreaking. She was doing everything to hold herself together.

You are Right, it's time to stand up.

We deserve a vote on this. Ninety percent of Americans, want that.

Thank you, freshwest and bigtree for posting this video.
