Obama Nation: They say I may give a good speech, have some good policy proposals but the truth is that I haven't been in Washington all that long, Obama said. The say we need to season and stew him a little more, boil all the hope out him. Maybe he'll be ready in 20 years. Barack Obama, Feb. 8, KeyArena.

Obama Stumps for Gregoire: Former governor Gary Locke introduced Gov. Gregoire and managed to give a halfhearted Obama endorsement. We need a partner in the White House who will work with states, Locke said. And that's why we're so excited about Barack Obama as president and Michelle Obama as first lady. July 17, WaMu Theater
But I will tell you this, Seattle. If congress doesn't do it before George Bush is out of office, than I will do it when I am in office. You can take that to the bank. Dec. 11, 2007, Showbox SoDo.
Oh' Bama!: IaE™m confident I can lead and IaE™ve got a vision for the future, but I canaE™t do it alone. This campaign has got to be a vehicle for all of your hopes,aE he pronounced to the adoring crowd, before signing off with, Thank you Seattle. I love you. June 1, 2007, WaMu Theater.
There is a moment in the life of every generation... If you want to make a mark on history we must join together and remake this country... This is our moment. This is our time. Michelle Obama, July 17, WaMu Theater.
If we're going to seize the moment, the same old Washington textbook campaigns just won't do. ...Triangulating, poll-testing, not answering questions just won't do. Dec. 11, Showbox SoDo.
Together these strong leaders are trying to help us push to that world as it should be. Michelle Obama, July 17, WaMu Theater.

If we are serious about winning this election, we can't live in fear of losing it. Dec. 11, Showbox SoDo.
No wonder you're cynical, Obama said. We've got a president who couldn't lead the half of the country who voted for him. The only mission we've accomplished is using fear and falsehood to take us into a war that never should've been waged. Dec. 11, 2007, Showbox SoDo.
