INDIANAPOLIS — Sen. Barack Obama's closing night rally with Stevie Wonder was soggy — with rain coming down through most of the night and forcing the musician to keep his set short. Obama, who attracted 21,000, gave his same stump speech on the eve of the Indiana primary.
Here's some video I took of Wonder's pitch for Obama, whose name he worked into at least two songs. Obama ends each of his campaign stops (even this one) with "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours."
Obama also went after Sen. Hillary Clinton on the gas tax fight, saying voters want the "truth" from their government and that people know they are "being tricked" with her holiday proposal.
Finally, Obama responded to Clinton's talk about wanting to confront OPEC.

I dislike Obama why becase he lies and lies,he forever badges Hillary he talks to people on a one to one basis when he talks to these people and all he talks about hillary and literally trashes her.

Bush junior on ou hands,

Carnek,
Do you originally write that in some second language and then use Babelfish to translate it into English? If not, you are almost completely illiterate.

Lies and lies? I think you mean Ms. Sniper Fire. And btw, Hill announced that she wanted to "totally obliterate" Iran, a country of 65 million, every man, woman and child. And this not the first time she did so, as she also voted for Kyle-Lieberman. She again wants to send American troops to die without any proof of wma's. Honestly, you really need to get your facts straight. Hill is the one running a negative campaign, and she's itching to send your kids off to more wars.But if you like war, go ahead and support her, but don't come in here and spread nonsense about the other candidate.

OBAMA you Rock. Time to finnish off Hillary today! YAY!

I think you got the candidates names mixed up. Hillary is the one who panders to Republicans, in fact she is running as McCains Vice Prez. It's making me laugh out loud that you don't see Hillary as the liar (we have decades worth to review) and the person doing the trashing is also, the Clintons.
Odd how some people see the reverse when it comes to them. Hope you have a great day.

What a silly comment. You and the way you think or lack thereof is the problem with this country.

Carnekkamessina ... your comments do not make any sense at all to me. First and foremost to compare Obama to Bush is at best absurd. If, I think about the Bosnia comments, and the NAFTA lies and then think about her recent gas tax holiday comments particularly focusing on not listening to economists ... I am really reminded of Bush (he is the one who did not need to listen to military advisers, or scientists (and look where that has gotten us) ... her comments on Iran run parallel to Bush's comments.
You give no substance or examples in your arguments and that in itself is reprehensible and visceral and frankly irresponsible.

Wonderful clips of the Obama campaign! Thank you!
Senator Obama has proven he is a leader and a uniter; all you need to do is look at the outstanding campaign he has run, how wisely he has used his donors' contributions, how he has inspired, motivated, and energized ALL people to get involved in this election----look at the HUGE numbers of people showing up to vote at the primaries and the caucuses!!! We have not seen this sort of participation and interest since the John F. Kennedy election!!
Indiana and North Carolina, please join us in supporting and voting for Senator Obama, a man who truely believes in "A GOVERNMENT FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND OF THE PEOPLE"!!
The time has come, and we are given the unique opportunity, to rid ourselves of the divisive and destructive politics of yesteryear! Let us us come together as a nation and vote for Senator Obama and let us all work together for a better, brighter, and more prosperous future, not only for ourselves, but, for our children and grandchildren. Let us give them the best future possible!!
