BEST LINE: "It is time for them to own their failure!"
Wow. Talk about shoving it down their throats, Barack!



I was a hardcore Hillary supporter during the primaries, and I have to say, tonight, Barack gave the best political speech I have seen in my lifetime (I am 22).

CHANGE IS IN THE AIR!

3. "ENOUGH!"
This guy has balls. He delivered those punchlines in a very Presidential fashion. Forceful, confident, and truthful.

8 IS ENOUGH! :)

10. There may be some truth to the talk about Obama
being not fully matured but where he's at today puts him ahead of most. Right now America's back is against the wall and we need the best we can put into play.

We need all of our great leaders and all of our great citizens to push against the darkness. America can be the beacon to the world and we all will be better for it.

If any of these people we support and at times literally fight for, are who and what they claim to be and if we are who we say we are, then both our goal and what it will take to get there is apparent. There is no Superman or Wonder Woman to save us that can take on the evils in the world, it will take everyone that believes in our common goals and dreams all working our asses of, whoever is taking the point.
The team which is our nation and even the world, is what is what it's about. It's truly all about the caliber of our people, let's not dare let our forebearers or our future down.

We clearly can surely see that John McCain and even one more day of trickle down fear, poverty, irresponsibility, and neglect is a pitiful option compared to Barack Obama. Let's make sure we serve The United States of America, future, past, and present and ensure we make the best call in the right here and now.

9. Yeah, the "Own your failure" was the best line, IMHO.
