[DesertRat]

2. Thanks! kick

[never cry wolf]

3. Thanks, almost forgot

Still on the intros...

[Skidmore]

4. Rev. Lowery up now,.

I love listening to him speak.

[malaise]

5. That was great

Love Lowery.

[Skidmore]

6. John Lewis is a great man who remembers.

You can feel the urgency with him to not let people forget.

[malaise]

7. Indeed

Davis' introduction is very good.

[Skidmore]

8. I wish we could be there today.

[malaise]

10. Well we're pretty close.

I'm recording this.

[Eurobabe]

9. Obama being intro'd now by Rep. Artur Davis (D) AL-7

11. Hillary is in deep trouble

she can't deliver like this to African Americans.

[Eurobabe]

23. I must agree with you

Guess that blows the stupid MSM meme that Obama isn't black enough. What a pile of horseshit that story was!

Hell, EVERYBODY loves this guy, regardless of race, color, creed, sex, etc. :D

[never cry wolf]

12. Does anyone know about the crossing of the bridge reenactment?

I mean, Obama's talk ended before Hillary's started. Do people just cross after their festivities or is there a set time everyone marches?

It just occurred to me that a classy move by either or both would be for Barack to seek out Hillary and cross together in a sign of unity and respect for the original event rather than it a day of dueling stump speeches.

[malaise]

14. Both spoke at the same time

Hillary's is a delayed broadcast so I guess they're all marching together.
That's a great idea.

[never cry wolf]

17. Ok, thanks. I didn't know she was on delay

I wish I would have thought about it a few days ago so I could call his office with the suggestion.

Could you imagine the photo op? Hillary and Barack in the middle of the bridge, hold hands up high.... It could only be a win-win for both...

19. Got it here

22. You called it right

CNN said Bill and Hilary walked arm in arm and Obama was also in the front group. They all shook hands and had nice tings to say about each other.
Wish they'd show us this live. Damn - soem new Anna is more important.

13. I'm really bumming. I missed it.

I hope if it comes up on youtube or another sight that someone will post it. :cry:

[malaise]

15. Hillary is on now CSpan and they usually have repeats. n/t

[never cry wolf]

16. I am sure C-Span will have it archived

I am also sure Obama's site will have it. Not sure how soon though. It brought tears to my eyes a couple of times but didn't think it was he best, but then he had some tough acts to follow.

(He opened by thanking the various previous speakers but excluded the Rev. Lowery, saying he's not sure he wants to thank him because he stole the show. It's tough to follow a man Marting Luther King said was the best preacher he ever heard. All tongue in cheek, of course.)

[malaise]

18. Hillary has sure come a long way

She's holding her own here.

[never cry wolf]

20. Replay tonight at 6:30 & 9:30 pm eastern time.

21. Thank you all so much
