You will never forget this night for the rest of your lives.....


You will tell your great-grandkids about it 50 or 60 years from now.


The way my grandma talks to me about FDR.... or my parents about JFK.


YOU will be telling your kids about BHO.

2. Exactly
Tonight was THE EVENT of this lifetime which will forever be remembered in this generation. Before it was MLK's speech, before it was JFK, before it was Roosevelt, and before it was Lincoln. This is a historic evening.

I will be proud to look back in 60 years and recall watching the greatest President in modern history get nominated, and witness perhaps one of the greatest speeches of the 21st Century.

My younger son said that tonight was his generation's "I Have a Dream," Woodstock, and JFK combined.

13. Yeah...this was a breathtaking night. Not since the sixties have I seen
such emotion. Words fail.

I almost want to watch the repug convention just to see how badly it fails.

14. If I live to be 91...
in 61 years from now, I hope my mind is still with me to remember this night. I only wish my husband was here to watch the speech with me (we're in different countries). :grouphug:

19. I cried like a baby over a bottle of wine
While I was texting my bestfriend back home every ten minutes.

One of the greatest nights of my life. I'm glad a few months ago, I got to shake the future presidents hand.
