He must have reserves that I can't even fathom.
I've already voted and tears came to my eyes.
Barack is giving us his ALL. May he continue to have the strength, wisdom and love for us and this country to bring us back from the brink.
Hope! Hope! Hope!

7. Me too!
I had to go up to the TV and stand a foot away to gaze on his face. His beautiful, honest face.
Then the tears came. I yelled out HOPE! so loud, my dog came running in to check on me!

4. My goodness, what a speech
I wonder if he collapses when he gets back on the plane.

5. HE HAS KICKED ASS....astounding level of speech making
McMOOT is at once removed from the stage...he has been reduced to a footnote.

6. Perhaps really his best speech so far.
I'm glad he is talking about unity again, what a stark contrast to McDesperate. I don't understand how anyone can be undecided, they are either really stupid or racist idiots.

8. Simple answer, Toot :-)
I don't know what happened during his visit or what she told him but he has been a different man since Hawai'i

14. Yes WA98296 and Liberal Boy
He has a love for her that burns deep in his heart. She was a pillar of strength and wisdom for him.
Because of her, and because of how Toot raised him, HE MUST DO THIS.
Toot sent him to us......we are so lucky he is here at this time and at this place for all of us.

10. Well, When Your Last Parent/Grandparent Is Near Death, You Realize How Little Time You Have
I have to say that Obama has been even more forceful and energetic since he returned from Hawaii. He is more earnest and emphatic. Sadly, I also note that he is not quite as cheerful, but you can't really blame him for that. Obama is a man on a mission this week.

11. That speech was superlative...
one of the best I've ever heard from Obama, or ever. He is a spellbinding speaker and I'm amazed that CNN carried the whole speech. I've never felt this kind of hope with any of our candidates. The last time I felt such hope was with Bobby Kennedy.

17. Just when I think a speech can't possibly be topped....
He once again takes it to a new level.
I think the 30 minute address to this country, Wednesday night is going to blow our friggin' socks off!!!
A candidate has never brought me to tears...ever...but this man is no ordinary candidate!


Wednesday shopping list: buy more Kleenex

18. I would love to.....
but I'm a little web-challenged!
Maybe his website will have it??
You have to see it...... not only did he have everyone on their feet...he had them screaming, crying and on their tip-toes!
He built it up to a final thunderous crescendo!
Whew! Friggin' AWESOME

:applause:
