Obama in OH: "It's easy to rile up a crowd by stoking anger"
Senator Obama spoke about the economic crisis today in Chillicothe, Ohio, calling on all Americans to appreciate the severity of the situation and come together to solve it. While John McCain is running around accusing him of being a terrorist, Obama is talking about the issues people actually care about, and doing it in the form of a true leader. It should come as no surprise, then, that despite all the sh*t Team McCain is throwing at him, he continues to widen his national lead and consolidate his state-by-state numbers and McCain finds fewer supporters, even among those of his own party.
"I think that folks are looking for something different. It's easy to rile up a crowd by stoking anger and division. But that's not what we need right now in the United States. The times are too serious. The challenges are too great. The American people aren't looking for someone who can divide this country - they're looking for someone who will lead it. We're in a serious crisis - now, more than ever, it is time to put country ahead of politics."
