Did anybody think we were getting a sneak peak at Obama's convention acceptance speech?
especially towards the end when he told his own personal history and in a way was reintroducing himself to the people. Inspiring and uniting speech.

1. The one question I have
How does he ever top 2004?

BTW, did you know that if he gets the nomination, he'll give his acceptance speech on the 45th anniversary of King's "I Have a Dream" speech? How cool is that?

2. sometimes your legacy speaks for you and I am sure he will have a good one
to stand on in the next national election.

7. Tonight on MOyers, Kathleen Hall Jamieson said
that to get his 'game back' Obama needed to go back
to his original campaign issues, and 're-intoduce' himself
to the people, and underscore his 'patriotism'

I think he was listening to her...

Most excellent.

9. Oh man. I got the urge To Serve Man. I REALLY hope it goes away by morning.
Because IT'S A COOKBOOK!!!

"The recollections of one Michael Chambers, with appropriate flashbacks and soliloquy. Or more simply stated, the evolution of man, the cycle of going from dust to dessert, the metamorphosis from being the ruler of a planet to an ingredient in someone's soup. It's tonight's bill of fare on the Twilight Zone."

12. Mr. Chambers... Mr. Chambers,
the first page is just a collection of English words with their own translation. But the rest of the book... the rest of the book - It's a cookbook!

Aaaaaaah!
