A BRILLIANT speech ....

[Trajan]

I am simply floored by how this man speaks .....

His vision is clear ... His cause is MY cause, and my family's cause ....

Truly: This man is a master orator with a deep vision that is grand and encompassing ....

Wow ......

[babylonsister]

1. I love him and consider us all very lucky to have a candidate this gifted.

He's our next president!

[Trajan]

9. You are so right ....

I have argued with you throughout the last 18 months (well .. kinda ... sometimes ... ) ... but today: We stand shoulder to shoulder, proud to support such a wonderful man in our quest to regain the seat of power, and to turn this travesty of a government around ....

Yea Obama .....

And YEA Babylonsister ....

[saltpoint]

2. Seconded.

[orleans]

3. yes, it was great. (as usual) n/t

[graywarrior]

4. Yes, his vision is clear

I love that about him

[Trajan]

8. Same here Graywarrior ...

I remember, even though I was a child, the optimistic force of Kennedy's speeches ..... and Obama takes that baton from JFK, and runs swiftly and surely up that mountain ....

We are blessed by nature to have such a wonderful visionary to lead us ....

[earthside]

5. All About America.

A visionary speech. Positive. Uplifting.

It was also a strong, substantive attack on the Bush-McCain agenda.

It wasn't all about him ... unlike the stump speech delivered in New York tonight by that other candidate.

[Labors of Hercules]

6. He made Hillary look like a real shmuck tonight.

there is just no other way to say it.

[TahitiNut]

13. Hillary makes herself look like a shmuck ... mean-spirited, shrill, mundane, and destructive.

She's made a total caricature of herself.

[hisownpetard]

20. Sorry, but - I think she did that all by herself!

[C_U_L8R]

7. we are so fortunate

to have Obama with us

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Reality is that him and McCain should be no contest

be alert since the Publics are gonna be up to all their tricks and then some

[TahitiNut]

11. He's the best orator I've heard since Barbara Jordan ... and RFK, MLK, & JFK before that.

He LISTENS to himself and thinks it through ... gracefully inserting emphasis words for meter and rhythm, and gracefully smoothing the (inevitable) minor flubs. These ARE his words ... not merely an act. He obviously works his own speeches. The rhythm and emphasis and balance seem innate ... but it takes education, practice, and talent.

[FrenchieCat]

12. I'd love him

to be my President!

[Phx_Dem]

14. Awesome speech.

"Because we may call ourselves Democrats and Republicans, but we are Americans first. We are always Americans first."

Right on. :patriot:

[nomaco-10]

15. I think it was his best speech to date...

He started out a little slow for a brief couple of minutes and then BAM! It was magnificent.

[hisownpetard]

21. I thought he got a little emotional when he mentioned his grandmother and then

picked up the pace a bit, to help him not give in.
I had the distinct feeling that he was going to say something at that point about his mother but decided not to,
because of the fact that it was such an emotional moment.
Just a feeling.

God, I love that man and his strong and good heart.

[Lady-Damai]

16. Obama rocks!

:patriot: :patriot: :bounce: :patriot: :patriot:

17. His speeches reflect his policies,

both are thoughtful and inclusive.

He is inspiring.

[Brigid]

18. This is why . .

Obama will be our next president. :)

[hisownpetard]

19. I love him, too - his character, his insight, his classiness. The perfect antidote to Bush.

We are so lucky that he came upon the scene when he did.

This country is just gonna keep getting better!

[Pisces]

22. He is unbelievable and amazing.
