Obama Speaks at Carnegie Mellon

Full video:


I loved this part of his speech because I have the same memories of hotel ice machines:
"Maybe you took a vacation every once in a while. It wasn't some fancy vacation at some fancy resort," Obama said, drawing an implicit contrast to Romney's current family vacation on the picturesque Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire.

Obama recounted that the "best vacation I had when I was a kid" was traveling on trains and Greyhounds across the country, saying at Howard Johnson hotels. "I was eleven, so there was any kind of swimming pool...it was very exciting," Obama said. "You were very excited to go where the vending machine was and the ice machine and get the ice." buzzfeed
