Obama wept at final campaign speech

November 06, 2012 21:48

An emotional US President Barack Obama concluded his final speech of his aggressive re-election campaign against rival Mitt Romney with a tear rolling down his cheek.

In what turned out to be an emotional and nostalgic campaign stop, Obama visited the East Village in Des Moines in the swing state of Iowa to campaign for the last time in the high-voltage electioneering.

Adding a touch of sentimentality to it, Obama's visit to Des Moines was the same place where his launch for the presidency began back in 2007.

"I came back to ask you to help us finish what we started because this is where our movement for change began," Obama said. "When the cynics said we couldn't, you said: 'Yes, we can'."
