Blitzer actually praising Obama's speech.

[Drunken Irishman]

Talking it up and discussing how great he went into detail about those who died.

Surprised.

[firedupdem]

1. I couldn't even hear him...looking at these people going past

their loved one's pictures has me bawling my eyes out. So sad...

[Jennicut]

4. Yes, me too. Especially when he described so many details about them.

It really was heartbreaking.

[Thrill]

2. Its hard to say anything but good things about that speech

I almost cried.

[Drunken Irishman]

3. I see someone decided to derecommend this.

Meh.

[Drunken Irishman]

5. Of course, Candy Crowley has to keep comparing it to Bush and Reagan.

[BrklynLiberal]

7. Crowley is such a ......I cannot even come up with the words to describe my disgust.

[Pirate Smile]

8. It was absolutely awesome. The Reporters on Twitter were doing the same thing.

9. I haven't heard Pres Obama speech yet but

I will. That's the way it should be..talking about each individual shows more respect and this is so hard for those family and friends in the military and the whole nation.

[HopeOverFear]

10. get the tissues out when you do

[Cha]

12. Oh, I can imagine..I have

to use the tissues when he just talks about Health Care:cry::)

Being in reality now after 8 years of the Orwellian nightmare does that to me.

[HopeOverFear]

17. I know that's right...his address to congress was a real tearjerker

esp when he talked about Teddy.

[vaberella]

13. Can someone hook me up with a video load of the speech when ready?! Thanks.

14. Chuck Todd was very complimentary:

From Twitter comments:

chucktodd

"That's going to be a speech that's remembered and quoted from for quite some time; struck a balance of commander and consoler; not easy"

[TomCADem]

15. It is a great tribute

Just reading the text alone makes me sad.

But here is what you must also know: your loved ones endure through the life of our nation. Their memory will be honored in the places they lived and by the people they touched. Their life’s work is our security, and the freedom that we too often take for granted. Every evening that the sun sets on a tranquil town; every dawn that a flag is unfurled; every moment that an American enjoys life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – that is their legacy.

18. Thanks.
