1. Are we on first name basis with him? ;-)

2. LOL...

He has one of the coolest first names in the world, so yes. :P

3. That lady who introduced him was awesome

Pat from Colorado.

4. Yep, very emotional...

with good reason. :)

Does Barack EVER give a less than great speech? He seems to be able to knock it out of the park even in his sleep.

6. as compared to....the chimp?

Yeah, Obama's a bright shining neon light.

7. Never mind the chimp...

He sets the standards ULTRA low. I'm talking about in general. I honestly don't see how the whackjobs can seriously think he wants to hurt the country when he speaks about it in such passionate terms. I suspect that racism is at the heart of their hatred.

8. Is Obama really that good, or is Bush really that bad?

Whatever the answer, it's a jolt to see them juxtaposed.

9. Bush makes anyone look good...

but when a great speaker like Hillary Clinton is scolding Obama because he's too good of a speaker, I think THAT is a real indication of how eloquent he is.

10. Hillary wasn't that great a speaker when she started but man did she improve

That was the most remarkable thing about her campaign to me was how much she improved after she got behind. I think running against Obama allowed her to become her own person separate from just being the wife of a former President. If Hillary had been that good from the start she might be the one standing up there on Tuesday. Anyway, I am happy how things turned out and she will be a great SoS.

11. No...

If she focused on the caucus states, she'd likely have won. It was oversight on her part as well as from her advisers. I do agree that her speaking got better towards the end of the campaign, but I think she has been a great speaker all along. Still though, when your opponent is an accomplished speaker in her own right but she's criticizing you because you're TOO good of a speaker, I think that says it all about just how good he really is.

12. I tried to give the benefit of the doubt to some of them.

However, it seems like most Obama haters eventually show their true nature and go on some racist rant about him.

5. What a relief to have a president I want to look at and listen to

It's been eight years of being repulsed and angered by the guy in the WH.
