This Is Obama's Best Speech Since Iowa
The pacing and tone and rhetoric is stunning.

Awesome speech. His second best of the campaign so far.

13. Proud about that name.
It used to be an insult reserved for the right, but apparently also now for the Obama "movement."

6. No no no...
It's good, but that South Carolina speech was the best speech I have ever seen.

11. I am very, very impressed...
My daughter (16) is for Obama and is trying to turn me to him (I'm an Edwards supporter), and this speech is helping.

14. NH speech is still the best to me.
And to think... that was a concession speech!

And it spawned this, of course:

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation... Yes, we can.

17. I like when he talks about community organizing
and I love that he just appropriated Maria Shriver's Hopi line--"we are the change we have been waiting for."
