regardless of who you're for, after 7 years of fuckwads speeches, obama was heaven

[spanone]

just to hear entire sentences without a smart-assed smirk at the end was wonderful....imho

[babylonsister]

1. You are SO RIGHT! He's elevating the dialogue;anyone could have,

someone had to!

[polichick]

2. I know, the contrast is so striking...

Maybe Americans will now expect way more of ourselves and our government!

[islandmkl]

3. what? you didn't appreciate the finer points of shrub's...

..."over-correct and drive into the ditch" speech?

W: dumb as a rock....

except, ROCKS DON'T SAY ANYTHING STUPID!!

FGB&HN-CAHCF...

4. Oh, hell yeah!

After listening to the incoherent babblings of a brain-damaged, dry-drunk psychopath, Obama's become Abraham Lincoln in comparison.

5. You've heard about it! You've read about it! And now, folks, you too can experience ELOQUENCE!

Yes, just like in the days of old, when a person could speak from his heart without polling ahead of time to determine what phrases "worked" and what needed to be "softened" -

Imagine a time when words were not "dumbed down" but were seen as a vehicle to elevate the lowliest among us. Imagine if you will a man speaking from his OWN experiences and causing those experiences to speak to YOU and strengthen the commonality that binds us together in this frail world and this country right now tottering on the brink of recovered greatness or irrelevance.

11. I actually heard a talking head on CNN ask if the speech was not

too polished- feared it may go over the heads of many he hoped to reach- very condescending.

Nice to hear complette sentences again.

6. ROFLMAO sponane OP nt

[slinkerwink]

7. I sure as hell don't want to hear mccain's "My friends..." for the next 4 years

[npincus]

8. oooooh-oooooh aaaaaaah-aaaaaaah (repeat)

[spanone]

12. an official white house photo?

[quiet.american]

9. LOL! Don't know if I would have put it exactly that way -- but yeah! nt

[bonito]

10. Obama will bring much healing to this world

Imagine instead of the greed from the profits of the war machine, the things we could have done to provide homesteads to every family, imagine the peace and sharing the billions of dollars could have provided, that's the direction we need to be headed toward, even the hard line neocons must realize this by now I can only hope, there's so much to be done where everyone can profit.

I have hope, Peace...

[blue neen]

13. How refreshing to listen to words of substance and eloquence and meaning.

We've always known that Bush is the Village Idiot, but Obama's speech today REALLY proves it.

A POTUS with brains and wisdom...please let it happen...
