Who could miss a future president in that wonderful speech? I'd heard about this Obama before, but that was my first real introduction. Blew me away. Thanks for the presentation.

We can look forward to the coming State of the Union soon, too. I know some people think it's silly to love great speeches, but count me guilty as charged. I do. Without sincerity they fly like a lead balloon and wind up sounding, well... Republican. Sorry, I couldn't let that one pass! Meowww.

Shouldn't everyone be so glad that the President is far nicer than I am? Michelle is a lot nicer than me too. That's why I'm thrilled with both. And SOS Kerry. And all good Democrats.
