In a speech entitled, "A Call to Serve," Illinois Senator Barack Obama recounted his experience as a community organizer and he asked those in attendance at the Cornell College campus in Mt. Vernon, Iowa, to start serving their communities.

He said, "through service I found a community that embraced me, a church to belong to, citizenship that was meaningful, the direction I had been seeking. Through service I found that my own improbable story fit into a larger American story."

He was introduced by former Penn. Sen. and JFK advisor Harris Wofford.

  • WE need Obama to lead us and heel us from the mis-guidance and lies and erosion of freedoms these last 8 years. We need a man who is above question and is clean. We need his hope. We need Mandatory completion of High School for all Americans. End dropping out of school through high school. Bring us together and lead us.

  • Please, just listen to Obama and think about

    what others say just to conserve their famous

    names which don't have anything to do with me and you average citizens. Thanks!

    OBAMA '08

  • What do you think of him now????? Ron Paul 2012!!!

    what do you think of him now????

  • Instead of saying opinions without facts. Why don't you compare the upbringing/inheritance of McCain to Obama? Compare the wealth of McCain to Obama? Compare the houses of McCain to Obama? Compare the cars of McCain to Obama?

    Then tell me which politician has a better idea of living week to week. And when YOU don't (as i'm sure you won't). We'll all know who is pulling the wool over your eyes.

  • Why do you want to enslave america? the govt FAILs at everything it does why you want to put it in charge of more people. you say you belive in democracy well how is democracy right. is it okay for 51 people to tell 49 people they cant have kids, if not too bad.. thats democracy, you ma'am are not a patriot you are a nationalist.

  • He did not ask you to fear anything. How refreshing is that? And he can speak English too. That would be nice in a President.

  • YEY, OBAMA,OBAMA

  • give that tired rationale for ignoring his call to action a break.

    please.

  • This man is president material unlike the one we have now. He has my vote.

  • I witnessed this speech 1st hand. Very empowering and inspirational. Also, former Sen. Wofford's introduction speech was superb. What is not shown is how he answered the students questions with such authority and confidence afterwards.
