This is a short speech Obama gave Monday night in Milwaukee that's generating rave reviews. It is poetic and powerful. One Time reporter that was there saysTonight, in front of a Milwaukee audience of 14,000, invoking both the Bible and Thoreau, he was as good as I’ve ever heard him.

There are lives of quiet desperation. People who need just a little bit of help. Now, Americans are a self-reliant people, w
