The promise of hope

Obama is wrapping up, although I think this crowd could listen to him all night.

He’s touching on hope and said how over hundreds of years Americans have been motivated to make change through hope. Hope should not be belittled, he said.

“You know about hope here in Mississippi,” he said.

Obama urged the crowd not to accept the status quo in this country.

“This is our moment,” he said. “This is our time.”

Before exiting the stage, he made a get-out-the vote pitch and told people to bring their friends and relatives to the polls tomorrow.

“We will change this country and we will change the world,” he said to cheers.
