Barack Obama's speech was
great! It was extremely presidential. It was extremely unselfish. It hit the mark.

Not one time did he break his arm patting himself on his own back. He started off by praising his grandmother, wife, daughters, staff, and volunteers. He even gave Hillary Clinton a great deal of appreciation. Not once did he give the impression that he was above anyone else. Not once did he talk down to anyone. Not once did he pass himself off as being an "elitist". It was a great speech!

Now on to the White House!

2. Oh it was beautiful...he made me cry.
Every point of contention I have ever said about things he needed to address he did ti here. He praised Hillary and McCain but he also stood firm and you can tell he was listening to the pundits on MSNBC and CNN. He took heart to what was said and he was gracious and he was eloquent and he definitely spoke to the people. Breathtaking. Really and truly.

6. I thought it was pretty indistinguishable from almost
every other speech he's give. I'm not sure what change he's talking about but I'm guessing the only real change is substituting himself for the current occupant of the WH. He's a Chicago style politician and his only goal is to get elected by pandering to anyone to get elected.

8. Either you watched Obama's speech with you TV muted
or, you are just set on repeating the same old Republican talking points.
