2. I was thinking the same thoughts,
I've never really had a chance to hear her speak, she's from the heart.

6. CRAP, I just missed Jen. When will they re-run this, does anyone know?
I'm in and out of the room, trying to catch as much as I can. Big Dog was phenomenal. I'm so moved by the parts I've been able to see!

8. It was clearly heartfelt ... she came close to tears at one point.
It'd be impossible to fabricate the quiver in her voice and face as she described her vision of when the battle is done and as she described Rosa Parks as a leader for doing what we all could've done ... but didn't. Yes, that's true leadership. No doubt.

9. I am so angry,CSPAN 2 said they would carry it


I kept going back and forth and finally they put up a streamer saying it was on CSPAN 3.

CNN and MSNBC are terrible with their coverage.

A minister was preaching! Really peaching !
Jesse and the other Ministers and the entire congregation were up from their seats and just amazed and pleased with what he was saying.

The idiot on MSNBC, kept talking bla bla over the preacher.

In our culture, that is never done. It is an insult!
This idiot would not shut up for at least 5 minutes, saying nothing.

Please let CSPAN put it on CSPAN 2.
