Barack Obama just gave one of the best speeches I've ever seen and I am DAMN PROUD of him |
|
and of us, for getting him there. He hit McCain HARD, he was very specific in his policy proposals, he was moving, he was strong, we was wonderful. At times I was in awe of him, of this man and his greatness. What really moved me even more was afterwards listening to Matthews and Olbermann, falling over themselves with emotional praise of Obama's speech and the hope it brings. The challenge to us... and the challenge to McCain and his ilk.
Senator McCain...bring it on...we're ready for you!! NOT THIS TIME. WE WON'T BE SWIFTBOATED, WE WON'T BE CHEATED, WE WON'T BE DEFEATED. Congratulations, Senator Barack Hussein Obama, Democratic Candidate for President of the United States of America!!

4. He took their talking points and shoved them right back down their throats! |
|
Matthews nailed it...he attacked from a defensive position, and he did it masterfully.

9. Yeah...can't say I've seen anything that tops that. |
|
Even his 'More Perfect Union' speech pales in comparison to this...it will be remembered.

couldn't travel to see this. As she watched her grandson on TV, how proud she must be!

15. Indeed, you'd have to be pretty damn stupid to vote McCain.. |
|
unless you're a warmongering plutocrat...in that case, go ahead. McCain's your guy!

17. Riveting. Couldn't take my eyes off of it. |

The best speech I've ever heard from anyone, anytime. And I'm kinda an old fart.
