Excellent, well delivered speech.

Much more reminiscent of FDR (from what I've read) than JFK or others he
has been compared to.

A lot of promises, a lot of lectures and social commentary. Question is
..... can he deliver?

Actually, I thought it was a good, solid speech too, but not a home
run. I don't think there were any memorable lines that will be
remembered a week from now by the average person on the street. I
expected more memorable eloquence.

It was...delicious.

Will he deliver? With a working Democratic majority in Congress and a
mandate from the people, he will succeed. Not on everything, but on many
things.

"John McCain likes to say that he'll follow bin Laden to the Gates of
Hell - but he won't even go to the cave where he lives."

Heh heh heh.

Poor, old, tired John McCain...Mr. Noun-Verb-POW.

Don't be so down on McCain. Did you see where he ran a TV ad in the Denver
area tonight, actually congratulating Obama on his nomination?

By the way...did you hear Jennifer Hudson sing the national anthem?

I hear McCain's campaign has hired Kate Smith to sing the anthem, backed
up by Lawrence Welk. :)

Yeah. Nice ploy. Very unconvincing. Tomorrow he's back to Son of Rove.

No. Did she do it correctly?

I am sure *they* would do it correctly.

Ms. Hudson was phenomenal.

I didn't listen to it. I don't intend to listen to McCain's speech next
week, either. I know what to expect - speeches long on promises, short
on details of how they are to be fulfilled. Mostly meaningless.

What I want to see are some true debates. Something where each candidate
has something thrown at him that he doesn't expect. I want to see how
each handles himself when that happens. But I probably won't see that.
The "debates" they have these days are so regulated as to content that
the candidates never see anything unexpected. More's the pity, because
the President must show the ability to be quick-thinking and decisive in
a crisis. I'm not sure I see that in either of these gentlemen.

In the absence of missiles heading our way, I'd prefer a president who
thinks a bit before doing something, the exact opposite of what we have
now.
