"We will restore science to its rightful place"

[scheming daemons]

I don't really care what the rest of the speech said (even though it was very good).


That one line, to me, says all I need to know.



We have the right man at the right time.

[treestar]

2. That hit me too

Sensible, smart, competent and intelligent are back to take over from ideology and superstition.

[LynzM]

3. Absolutely.

I'm so, so glad to hear that, let's hope he means it! :bounce:

4. After 500 years, that's going to be a welcome event in the Americas!

But, you cannot bring back the destroyed civilizations, or the many cultures and languages that were exterminated!

5. He also included "non believers" as members of our country.

That was a warm fuzzy for me too.

9. It was HUGE for me

To even be acknowleged as a group ... my head is spinning and my heart is bursting. I don't expect believers to agree with me, I just want my voice to be heard, just like anyone else.

11. He hit so many perfect notes in that speech. It was awesome.

It was awesomely written, awesomely delivered, and it said awesome things.

It was -- like -- totally awesome!

:evilgrin:

No more erasing scientific findings. He's going to actually listen to people who ahhh, ahhh, know stuff.

[fishwax]

7. yes, that was the first line I applauded

:)

[Aloha Spirit]

8. There were audible screams of joy from the audience when he said that.. nt

[prostock69]

10. Oh Yes!!! We were cheering in my house! And that President Obama

recognized us unbelievers! I started to cry. It's so awesome that we finally have a president who is not a biased religious nut job. T

12. Same here.

In the forefront in education and in industry.

Buld new industries using new Tech. It's how we will rebuild. I hope.

13. ..and two other great points

1) The President mentioned that everyone is entitled to their full measure of happiness.
2) We cannot compromise between our security and our principles.

I'm sure all three made the ex-President squirm.
