seriously. The expectations were so high and everyone expected so much from him and he delivered, he made good.

So pundits that are still hating and to the GOP just Suck it.

4. Even Bill Clinton couldn't have done that.
Big Dog ain't my favorite Dem, but he's one helluva speaker. Still...even a cynic like me was in tears, by the end of Obama's speech!

He knocked it so far out of the park, that it'll probably land in China--on a pile of lead-laced children's toys! :rofl:

8. ABSOLUTELY Brilliant ... in so many ways ...
I will only make note of the last ...

He held fire for the ENTIRE speech, until the very end, to make note of the MLK speech anniversary - which just was BRILLIANT on so many levels.

BRILILANTLY written, astoundingly delivered.
