10 biggest applause lines from Obama's speech at the DNC

Following addresses from the first lady and Bill Clinton earlier in the week, Barack Obama took to the stage on the final night of the Democratic National Convention and spoke directly to "you," urging the American people to follow his path for the future of the nation. Based on the length of the crowd's cheers and applause — measured with utmost scientific precision (two editors with stopwatches) — here are the 10 lines that were received most enthusiastically:

10. "When you take off the uniform, we will serve you as well as you've served us – because no one who fights for this country should have to fight for a job, or a roof over their head, or the care that they need when they come home." (14 seconds)

9. "After two wars that have cost us thousands of lives and over a trillion dollars, it's time to do some nation-building right here at home." (14 seconds)

8. "I've signed trade agreements that are helping our companies sell more goods to millions of new customers — goods that are stamped with three proud words: Made in America." (14.7 seconds)

7. "We don't think that government is the source of all our problems, any more than are welfare recipients, or corporations, or unions, or immigrants, or gays, or any other group we're told to blame for our troubles." (15 seconds)

6. "You can do something about [climate change]." (17.2 seconds)

5. "I'm no longer just a candidate. I'm the President." (20 seconds)

4. "A new tower rises above the New York skyline, al-Qaida is on the path to defeat, and Osama bin Laden is dead." (21.5 seconds)

3. [Quoting the Republicans' "prescription" for the economy.] "'Feel a cold coming on? Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations, and call us in the morning!'" (22.7 seconds)

2. "That's what we can do in the next four years, and that's why I'm running for a second term as President of the United States." (22.8 seconds)

1. "I accept your nomination for President of the United States." (27.5 seconds)
