[tekisui]

I am blown away.

[WeDidIt]

1. This is an historical speech

Not U.S. History, but WORLD HISTORY.

This man is going to alter the basic way that people all over the world look at themselves and the rest of the world.

We are on the brink of altering the way the world thinks.

[graywarrior]

3. We are all citizens of planet earth

[populistdriven]

19. Sounds like he grew up enjoying some Carl Sagan like me :) nt

[TheDonkey]

2. uuuuuuuuuum' THIS IS FUCKING FANTASTIC

[tekisui]

4. He just took it to a new level.

mcWho?

[WeDidIt]

7. How can anybody look at McCain seriously after this?

The entire planet is turning to Obama for leadership. If America gives the world McCain, we will become a pariah amongst nations.

[Coexist]

its hard to discuss this speech here, because I am listening and don't want to miss anything.

[tridim]

5. "These are the walls we must tear down"

ALL of them!

This is so incredible!

[Shine]

6. We are bearing witness to history being made today.

President Obama! :woohoo:

[TexasObserver]

8. We are the world ... We are the children.

damn it feels good to know he's replacing Bush in six months





Lord willing and the creek don't rise.

[tekisui]

9. World without Nukes. Yes, We Can!!!

That means us to US.

[Life Long Dem]

10. Oh No! He is looking like a Presidential leader!

The media will go through the roof! :patriot:

[jazzjunkysue]

11. No, he won't.

He'll be an historic, wonderful world leader.

[tekisui]

12. Thank you for the clarification.

What a time. What a speech.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

13. He's looking more than just presidential - he's looking like a special President

If he can live up to one tenth of the promise he shows, he will be a very memorable president for decades to come.

[VolcanoJen]

14. I"m so jealous, you guys!! Stuck at work. :-(

I set the Tivo so I can't wait to get home and watch it... but how exciting, and thrilling, and it's so nice to see an American Leader travel overseas and not start riots and protests, isn't it?

Thanks for letting me share this historic moment, once again, with my DU Family! We've shared so many already, and I feel as though there are so many more to come.

Was it really as awesome as everyone says it was....? Hooray!!!!

[tekisui]

15. It was incredible.

Watch your TiVo.

[Imagevision]

16. Bush goes there and he's protested in the streets, Obama, it's like he's in Iowa...

[AtomicKitten]

17. He is.

Me too.

[Tom Rinaldo]

18. Almost all of the world would welcome enlightened American leadership

For the first time in a long time they will have it.

[blues90]

20. Why should america be the world leader?

To date we have for the most part been the taker of the world. We have been doing this for decades upon decades.

How are we the nation of promise when we use most of the resources and energy , how does this set a good example as a world leader?

Look at China how took out model and how badly this turned out, they can't even breath there.

If we don't clean our act up first and once and for all then we have no business being the leader of the world.

Let me know when that happens.

[tekisui]

21. We have a long way to go, to be sure.

We have to start, however, where we are. There is nothing wrong with aiming high and succeeding.

[blues90]

23. A long way to go alright!

We are talking about the world. And we can't even get this country on level ground. No there is nothing wrong with aiming high , but you also have to be realistic.

If we allow the bush admin and all the crimes go then this will be the first failure of a magnatude that will cause us to fail before we even start. The ME knows what we have done and are part of the world. They are not about to forget.

Our own country is far behind other developed countries in many ways so they are doing better than we are.

The bush admin has taken us back 100 years.

If the people of the US are not willing to work together then how can we expect the world to follow our lead?

We have a one party system , both sides of the same coin.

Eight years and yet we have not gotten on the same page to even stop this admin from destroying this country , not even a national strike like other countries , what we do is vote and hope that one person will step in and change it all. That is dreaming.

[WeDidIt]

22. FACT: Obama drew more people than Kennedy in Berlin

And he drew 10 times more people than Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" speech.

[hedgehog]

24. Going to be? He already IS a world leader!

:woohoo:
