I have to say

Barack Obama's speech was Kennedy like. Maybe he really can.

No flames please. These is not about primaries.

:bounce: To me, it's what being a Democrat is all about.

MSNBC turn it into an attack on the CLintons.
It was a remarkable presentation of hope.

Brilliant also.

covered everything that should matter.

An incredibly inspirational speech.

But I still think Edwards is the better candidate. May the best candidate win.

but this is about the kind of speech America needs right now - he's right, this is about the future.
Edwards speech now.

hopefully not a neocon future.

seriously. He has no intention of bringing ALL US troops home. Period. blech!

Maybe even a speech that history will remember as pivotal.

I get the same sense - the possibility that we - collectively - can be something better.

Sorely needed.

I'm with you... my heart - and my mind - are saying "maybe he really can".

about his viability. I'm not even sure what he stands for, but the truth is that he is giving young people of all races a reason for being and that too is very important.

I know I'm not particularly thrilled with H. Clinton or the way either Clinton has been behaving. And I think Obama has been behaving in a much better way.

But he does have that gift, and I don't think it can be disregarded, for connecting with people, and speaking to people in a way that moves them.

I've heard the "emotion" disparaged, but that's precisely what we Democrat's have been missing in our general campaigns. We're so smart, and we've been appealling to people's intelligence, when what really moves them, before you engage their minds, is their hearts. People are desperately looking for someone they can really believe in.

As I said, what I have is the *hope* that he can do this. And that once he does it, he can really affect the change he speaks about -- which has to be ultimately, a change in all of us.

There will be only one who originated anything and some things cannot be improved upon . If anyone wants inspiration then listen to the original who was murdered before he could bring his dreams into reality .

Obama is to Kennedy as the Monkeys were to the beatles .

Obama uses what has already been done . Other than that he falls short in all debates with his remarks and stammering and his voting present past .

She disagrees with you.

Except MLK did not feel the desire to go into some repetitive rant , like "yes we can " to get the people inspired like a preacher man as Obama does . I have seen actors give grand speechs , it means nothing .

shake the batch of lobbyists, the cartels and the host of wretched advisers that he's attached to like the plague?

Words are easy. Borrowed rhetoric during post-victory adrenalin rush does not make change.

America is facile and insane. Not a good combination.

This is about a classic speech of hope.

I saw it. The American Body Politic is in such a state of confusion that they cannot recognize hollow words.

Sometimes it feels like we are in a circus and with that "HOPE" the attendants lay down their money as they are continually deluded into thinking that "THIS TIME WE'LL KNOCK DOWN THE PINS" as the barker whispers to them words of hope for that ever-elusive "NEXT TIME."

Ultimately the circus is a very sad place. The circus is never meant to bring hope it is there only to present the illusion of hope.
