Live-blogging Antonio's speech, Part 5

| | Comments (0) |

"We can — and we will — beat this recession," Mayor Villaraigosa just emoted.

Now he's talking about his grandfather and others who "came here for a better life." Cue the violins. ...

"It explains the life of Tom Bradley" — where did that come from?

"The future is a matter of what we're willing to say 'yes' to," he continues. "We can do anything, we can be anything here, in the City of the Angels. Thank you all and God Bless."

He went out to the strains of Sly Stone's "Everyday People."
