3. By the way, where were the columns that so enraged the wingnuts?
I thought he was speaking from a "Greek temple" with lots of columns or something. I watched the whole speech as well as the pre- and post-speech foofaraw, and I never did see any columns. Just flags.

12. just pissed that McCain is making the news today
instead of Obama after such a fabulous speech.
So I thought I would come here to talk about the speech. But DU is also fixed on McCain VP pick..
Ugh, oh well... At lest it was reported that 35 million watched it.. They cant take that from Obama.

7. I knew this would happen...
with McLame announcing the day after Barack's speech...
and now with the Ovarian Ploy...MSM will naturally be nutty.

Hopefully, when this dies down, we can get back to some substance...
and hear playbacks from Barack's awesome speech.

We're all just lucky that we live in a day and age where we can see it whenever we want instead of relying on re-runs on TV because the MSM was just abysmal.
