26. please note that he didn't use a teleprompter and he didn't look

down at notes one time. He did it from memory.

[my2sense]

2. Isn't it nice to be represented

by a person that can speak intelligently on substantive issues.

:toast:

15. I had to laugh at that too.

mcCain peaked with his "that's not change we can believe in" zombie grin.

[gblady]

23. I about...

lost my cookies on that statement....
there is no earthly way he could even get through the first paragraph!

8. Sure is a fantastic change from the stomachchurning embarrassment I feel about prez shit-for-brains.

10. it wasn't so much the speech, which was excellent

as the combination of the speech and the visuals--the way the sunlight hit Sen Obama's face, the way he looked like a vision of the "sunny nobility" Tweety wrongly ascribed to the chimp, the panoramas of the crowd. Just spectacular all around.

11. I am so overwhelmed right now. Pride does not begin to describe the feeling.

[trashcanistanista]

22. Me too! I have no idea what it is,

I've never felt this way before. It is a good day to be a Democrat.

12. I shut my office down to watch history being made and

a great man whose place in history is now evident. On a lighter note, who is picking up the pieces of Rush Limbaugh's head after it exploded?

[mwb970]

13. After cringing and feeling ashamed for so long...

...this is almost too much to believe. What is this strange feeling? Is it...pride...in America? How rare it has been!

[Kaleko]

21. Is it RESONANCE with the integrity and simple humanity

Barack Obama embodies? I think it's more than pride in the place of provenance. It's resonating with an entire set of values common to honest, fair-minded people across the globe.

[BlooInBloo]

14. Yo boy's spay-shul, Mrs. Obama...

(Or whatever mom's last name is.)

[indie_voter]

18. she remarried after Obama sr left them. She died of cancer iirc?n/t

[BlooInBloo]

25. Thanks - I knew there was more to it than I remembered....

But I really didn't wanna let go of the Forrest Gump-thing. :P

[Bobbie Jo]

16. Beautiful!

Make sure your kids get to see this if they missed it live. This is their future......:kick:

[Imagevision]

17. The close-ups of the crowds, it could have passed for Iowa...

[1776Forever]

19. I never thought just 2 years ago I could ever have the hope I feel now!

Thank you Barack for just simply being you ~ We love you and pray for you everyday. You are the answer to my prayers. With 2 boys who have served in Iraq and another who had no health insurance and almost died because of it, how much I cherish you and the hope you bring to our country and its citizens.

[gratefultobelib]

[proud2BlibKansan]
