Echoed by Hillary Clinton in her electifying speech. I watched the DNC streamlined live on their website. All I can say is electrifying by all speakers on Tuesday. I wanted to add that the media did a disservice by not highlighting Obama's half sister, Maya. All concentration on Monday was on Michelle Obama's speech. Maya is a elegant and educated speaker. And she speaks for her love for her brother and mother. Here is Ms. Soetoro-Ng's speech on Monday:
Here are some of the videos of the highlights of other speakers for Tuesday:

Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich spoke at the Democratic National Convention today and there is little doubt his was the most enthusiastic and hard hitting speech thus far. Dennis always comes armed with truth and facts, and today was no exception.
From illegal wiretapping, Iraq and high gas prices to playing the fear card, he blazed through the laundry list of Bush hackery and crimes and pounded the message home — Americans to wake up and vote for Barack Obama.
“…Wake up America! The insurance companies took over health care. Wake up America! The pharmaceutical companies took over drug pricing. Wake up America! The speculators took over Wall Street. Wake up America, they want your Social Security. Wake up America, multi-national corporations took over our trade policies, factories are closing, good paying jobs are being lost, wake up America!”
Lilly Ledbetter gave wonderful speech on non-equal pay for women and she told her story of her lawsuit with Goodyear company.
And Hillary's 23-minute speech:Whether you voted for me, or voted for Barack, the time is now to unite as a single party with a single purpose,” Mrs. Clinton said. “And you haven’t worked so hard over the last 18 months, or endured the last eight years, to suffer through more failed leadership.
"I want you to ask yourselves: Were you in this campaign just for me? Or were you in it for that young Marine and others like him? Were you in it for that mom struggling with cancer while raising her kids? Were you in it for that boy and his mom surviving on the minimum wage? Were you in it for all the people in this country who feel invisible?"

Thanks for the video SPB I just got home in time for my girl Hillary's speech. After reading some of the Journalist comments I know their paid by the RNC because even a 5 year old could understand what Hillary said. If not for the woman like Hillary and those before her getting the 19th Amendment pass woman like Andrea Mitchell, Katie Couric and even girl Friday Connie Rice wouldn't have their careers. It seem men who have confidence in themselves admire Hillary but men who are weak and stupid fear and attack her. I also notice that some Americans will do anything for a buck. Hillary promised her supporters Universal Health Care and she delivered. No she didn't win the top prize but it was more about us then herself.
To be a great Leader one must be a great team player.
