FIRED UP!!!! Obama just spoke at Democratic retreat...

[YvonneCa]

...on C-Span. Don't miss the replay. He was EXCELLENT! Change has come.

1. As crisp and as solid and as moving as I've ever seen him

Superb. The country is in good hands.

[Clio the Leo]

2. Even threw in some jokes didn't he? Good stuff. NT

4. "I made it to 49 states, but I didn't make it to Alaska..."

(room erupts in laughter)

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Take that hillbilly Sarah!

[Clio the Leo]

8. I'm curious if the "that was the point!" remark....

.... was on purpose or coincidence?

[Cha]

18. Well, it's true and the

fact that Alaska houses palin is just the way it worked out. Maybe Obama would have made it up to Alaska if mccain hadn't chosen their sociopathic Governor for a running mate.

[Clio the Leo]

22. ha ha, no, I think you misunderstood me...

... that's what I get for being too vague.

He said tonight, "some are calling this a spending bill ..... well of course it is! that's the point!" (paraphasing)

Which reminded me of this.....

I would suspect it was just a coincidence, but I thought it was funny.

6. I was thinking, "By damn, he really does care!"

That means a lot. That man went to the mat for us peons tonight.

[BeyondGeography]

11. He's sticks with that basic theme, and he's going to be incredibly popular

He's saying people in this country are strong and decent and that, this time, government MUST come through for them. That's all. I'm a lot more cynical about Americans than that, but he gives me hope that we can actually move forward.

[YvonneCa]

23. Never a doubt about it...

...;)

[liberalmuse]

3. That sure lifted my spirits.

I had to lift myself out of the shits last night and decided, 'Fuck this! We have an awesome President and I'm going to join others of my ilk in sending good vibes his way. God knows he needs them.' I'm always embarrassed when I doubt this guy. Not that I actually consider doing that since I was proven wrong too many times in the past. He's not perfect, but he's got a mission and knows what the fuck he wants for the end result. I'm going to fucking support him in that.

5. GOT-DAYUM OBAMA TORE IT UP!!!!!!!!

12. He took out his can of whup ass!

Man, that was a side of Obama I really like to see more of. Passionate, and visibly fed-up with the childish ways of the republicans and giving them the verbal spanking they deserve!

[quiet.american]

9. Damn, that was one KICK ASS speech. Keeping it real!

Thank you, President Obama!

[Uzybone]

13. He Kilt it, totally kilt it.

Wish he could send some backbone to the Senate.

[Thrill]

14. If you thought Obama was great. See can you find Schumer on the Senate Floor today
