5. his vision where marriage is determined by bible scriptures - selective scripture quoting at that

scriptures say lots of thing but obama doesnt go around demanding all of them be enforced, he picks and chooses the ones that favor him.

8. Don't all "biblical people" pick and choose? What's so unusual about that?

6. He is adding more details in his speech that totally rock

He's knocked down the speech from Hillary that tried to nip at his heels.

Barack Obama is clearly presidential and for this time and place. As he said, it's the Party of the Future vs. the Party of the Past.

GOBAMA!

10. He's talking really loud and not getting all that much applause.

I didn't think it was that inspirational. The music came on right away and people just got up and started chatting.

Seemed like just another political speech to me.

And I'm not trying to bash him, just seemed the crowd didn't respond that much.

Of course they didn't respond much when our governor came on either.

15. I saw Hillary too.

I just thought the crowd didn't respond to either one very strongly. Maybe they were full from dinner, or too much Miller Genuine Draft.

I wanted Kucinich, then Edwards and now I'm ambivalent. I think I'm just reliving the 72 McGovern trauma.

Sorry.

17. Thanks for your genuine input. It wasn't a rally speech, but IMO, it was excellent.

12. Clearly you saw a different speech than me

Maybe your volume was too low. People were clearly rsponding to what he was saying. It was not really a "rally speech", but more of a speech before a lot of people on all sides of the Democratic party.

28. I thought it was his best speech yet!

It was really well delivered and really inspiring--and I've heard his stump speech a half dozen times already!

He was great!

24. MLK "I Have A Dream" Words!

"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal" Just a speech!
"There's nothing to fear, but fear itself" Just Words!

That was probably my favorite part. Anything they throw at him he seems to dispell with so much ease.

29. he does, doesn't he?

This makes me feel confident that he can go through the General Election without too much trouble. He doesn't just answer charges, he exposes tactics. Totally disarms them.

14. GOBAMA! He was fired Up and Ready To Go!

Loved to hear him talk about "Words" ~ he quotes some words that worked like " I Have A Dream" --- those words worked, and "We Have Nothing to Fear But Fear Itself" --that worked too to inspire the world!

The CSPAN callers after his speech were wonderful!

19. Was it just a coincidence that the intro music

was City of Blinding Lights by U2, a song about New York City?

Or is that his usual campaign song?

30. I hope it fortells how the primaries will end up.

Usually the repubs on c-span are so cranky. It was truly amazing to hear them inspired by Obama.

33. loved that!

I was sure he was going to come out against Obama and for McCain--then he says he's definitely voting for Obama!

Amazingly, he is actually transcending the blue-red divide.
