Bravo Obama!

Overall, Obama brought it to the table. Kudos.

1. I agree totally, an excellent speech!

And he seemed so relaxed and positive...

[pinto]

4. Agree. And he made a case. Not always specifically but clearly big picture stuff.

I really liked the theme of the whole thing.

6. Not only was it a good speech, but his demeanor helped to sell it, too.

He was confident, relaxed and so damn positive! I followed the graph on MSNBC and the reaction was overwhelmingly positive, too, even among those who signed up as Republicans! I guess sourpuss Boehner was back in the minority yet again...

7. Didn't Boehner look really uncomfortable?

I found it disconcerting as he frowned and fidgeted, etc. The guy knows he's on TV throughout the speech. Odd.

But to your point, Obama was on his game and the speech was extremely positive. Love how he "challenged" the Republicans to do the right thing and drop the pointless games.

8. He was a complete sourpuss throughout the whole thing

I actually found it a little distracting, since everyone else was so positive. Between the color of his face and his expression, I was reminded of some kind of cartoon character - and I really missed seeing Nancy Pelosi up there...

And I agree that the president was at the top of his game tonight. He really seemed to be enjoying himself - and it was infectious.

2. I loved when he replied to the Rs who applauded when he said he's not running again...

by saying because he won twice and then the Ds applauded.

3. It was a good comeback.

[jenmito]

5. Yup!

9. Now THAT was the man I campaigned for, THAT was the man I donated to ...

THAT'S the man I want for the next two years!

BRAVO, Mr. President, BRAVISSIMO!
