You know, it's sad.
But a clarion call speech like this is something that poor old doddering Pops McIncontinent could not give with a brain transplant and 6 hits off of an Ice pipe.

This speech is almost like something completely new, after 8 years of a drooling dimbulb. Like a speech from a, dare I say it...Real American President.

1. It was grand. Let's hope the majority of Americans recognize the
opportunity staring us in the face. If we only finally do the right thing.

2. I was thinking the same thing. We saw this when Kennedy was president
all the time. Maybe a few times since then. But never for the torture president.

(And I can't wait until he's out of that crowd, as cool as it is for all those people to be there.)

4. I was thinking the same thing...
About him being so close to the crowd.

3. I just wish our US news outlets were covering it
Not the "Obama's In Germany" 10 second spots on the Headline Countdowns, but the kind of press this deserves. This is today's story: not the poet (and I do like poetry) headlining cnn.com, or the BS that McCrazy is closing in on Obama - but this.
