Shit, maybe we are a cult. This man can control an audience like I haven't seen

[shadowknows69]

This is a leader ladies and gentlemen. A person who can inspire others to great deeds. What this nation needs.

1. He really is captivating.

Not only is he a master of rhetoric, he's very knowledgeable when it comes to policy as well.

[shadowknows69]

2. Kidding of course BTW

The only cult I've ever belonged to was the Assemblies of God church. B-)

[NightWatcher]

3. we've become so used to shit that when we see something better we call it a 'cult'

he's a LEADER, not the messiah, but a well spoken leader unlike the bush's

[Diamonique]

4. Won't it be nice to have a president who can speak English again? n/t

[Sal Minella]

8. Sentences with subjects and predicates.

Words put together in patterns that actually MEAN something.

And can you imagine THIS guy grabbing another world leader by the shoulders from behind at a state dinner? Don't think so.

My heart rejoices.

[bdamomma]

17. yes, someone who has intelligence, and doesn't preach fear.

[K Gardner]

5. How funny.. my grandson fell asleep listening to him tonight and he's a hard bugger to get to go to

bed.. and I was just sitting here, captivated, soaking up every word and watching the 20,000 people respond to him. And I was thinking the same thing, LOL. :hi:

[Johnny__Motown]

9. record it for him

[pdxmom]

6. I believe that this is how he will get things done, if he is in office. He will

take to the bully pulpit and go past Congress, straight to the people.

[K Gardner]

18. That's what I've known all along, that this is the power of what he is doing. At long last, we WILL

finally have a voice..we WILL finally be able to get things done by the sheer power of our voices, and Congress will no longer be able to ignore us ! :applause:

[tyne]

7. It's not about him

it's about us.

That's why it works.

I don't mean to be silly but, WE are, TRULY, what we've been waiting for.

This isn't HIS campaign.

It's ours.

[Darth_Kitten]

10. Yeah, but those who project their hopes and dreams onto another....

person will eventually be let down. The man is unproven. Sorry, like him all you like........

[shadowknows69]

12. Well presumably he's going to be given a chance to prove himself

So why not get behind that for the good of the country and make the job as easy as we can for him IE. Filling congress with good Dems.

[goodgd_yall]

16. Yes, that's crucial

That's what I was thinking of as he gave his speech and spoke about political will being needed to make change in the country. His supporters need to realize that is what will bring about change. A democratic president and a democratic congress.

[Sal Minella]

11. That's what I've been hoping people would notice.

He reminds us that we are the people we've been waiting for, yes.

[The River]

13. It's Not A Cult

It's a Movement.
A Democratic Movement.
A Constitutional Movement.
A Liberal Movement.

Cult is simply short for culture, albeit a very small
and narrowly focused subculture within a larger culture
and usually focused around religion.(or personality)

The Obama Movement will soon include a majority of Americans.
Once you are the majority, maybe America will return.

IF Obama ever starts acting like rev. Moon, dressing in robes and crowns,
demanding 90% of our income as love offerings, then it's a cult.

[MassLiberal]

14. he has clearly touched a nerve

People are sick and tired of business as usual.

[goodgd_yall]

15. You don't really mean what you posted, do you?

"This man can control an audience"? I get that he inspires, but I don't think controlling an audience is a good thing. It makes him sound like a demogogue.

Anyway, I enjoyed his speech tonight very much. I like that he spoke specifics and he sounded very sincere.

[shadowknows69]

21. Any talented speaker engages and controls his/her audience.

He is a rock star plain and simple. I don't think its bad as long as he leads us to great things.

[TexasObserver]

19. Obama is the best we have had since Bobby. It's undeniable.

The party elders are already working on their group intervention to tell her it's over.

She's doing harm, not going to win, and sounding more and more like the Fox Noise machine in her attacks on Barack.

[AlertLurker]

20. Every time he speaks I feel inspired to ram my finger down my throat.

I've never been grateful for CBC before in my life. Today it is my ONLY safe haven!!!

[FrenchieCat]

22. Please keep you finger rammed down there......

cause when you are busy doing that, you can't type your tripe.


and here's an extra finger, if you ever need it.....just in case! :hi:
