8. Looked like there were a bunch of old people there..

I wonder what will be the reception a lot of these people are still living in the 1920's 30's and 40's and they don't care what will be left for the young people.

18. Normally he is good

But when talking about veterans issues he is really good. You can tell the anger and frustation in him on this matter.
And I think it comes across to the listerners in this case too. It was a very good speech.

19. He was great!

I don't care for the american legion considering what they did to Tammy Duckworth.

I did notice one of the guys on the stage behind Obama that is on Countdown sometimes ,but I can't remember his name. He's a good guy though.
