Day TWO of PRAISE OBAMA'S OUTSTANDING HISTORIC SPEECH
Edited on Fri Aug-29-08 02:55 PM by underpants
Way too many one line threads about the ridiculous lazy procrastinating pick by McCain this morning.

Obama was just outstanding last night.

Not only was his speech evenly tempered above the normal level of intensity he took us up and then back down all the way. Being able to control that "room" for 42 minutes was just remarkable.

Please offer your comments on last nights incredible event.


BTW_ what happened to the SkyCam on MSNBC??? they didn't use it once during the speech???

1. I wrote earlier that we're all worn out from trying to think of synonyms for "AWESOME!"
So we've moved on. Doesn't mean we're not proud as hell, fired up, and ready to go!

2. I've cried so much (happy crying that is)
Good lord I was sitting in a puddle.
I was awestruck at what a great event it was...
and OMG.... a whole stadium of Democrats was
dancing !!!!!! DANCING !!! What can I say, it was historic.
Like nothing I ever seen in 50 years.
And Barack... Barack... we love you.

6. I feel that it not only met my expectations but far surpassed them...
Not only the speech but the fact that last night the media could not talk about anything else and how so many of them were forced to admit just how ispiring Obama trully is...I knew this am they would have been called upon to upstage last night but I am suprised too many are falling for it, Obama deserves our continued praise for more than one night....

Surpassed.
Was tough while still staying classy.

Will probably be remembered as one of the great speeches in American History (so that makes two after the "race" speech).

Probably the best so far in this young century.

You know his acceptance speech will be equally as lofty and historic.
