It was intentionally that way, though, I think. Quieter, so people wouldn't be that tired when Obama got out there.

I'm watching it delayed by a few minutes and it's still early enough that I was inclined to agree with posters who said that it was slow and that he's stumbled a few times, but I would never have guessed he wasn't a natural public speaker... wow, how amazing that he went into politics.
