Great speech by Obama in Toledo just now.
Specifics on the economy, got the crowd fired up. And I didn't hear one person shout out for anyone to be killed. Strange that.

1. I tuned in toward the very end
And again he nearly managed to move me to tears. This man truly is the next President. I'm so proud to live in America and experience this opportunity.

5.  So it wasn't just me
I moved over to stand right in front of my TV, so I could see him closer.
He is so REAL, so genuine, he truly CARES.
I watched the people in the crowd, so hopeful, so excited to be there with him and I BELIEVE
we're going to win this time.
My eyes are welling up with tears.

6. It was great
And I loved all his specifics about his economic rescue plan. Of course, I turn over to CNN expecting to see a big headline about Obama's rescue plan and what do I see? Oh, McNasty and Moose Hunter, and how he's "not afraid to fight". Oh, and Obama is just like Bush. I hate those fuckers. :mad:

8. Hubby and I watched, it was great
Very detailed in what he wants to do for recovery of our situatiom. The man is got a hard job ahead of him, I hope he has the right people with him, and he tells us like it is and not sugar coat the problems. We can make the sacrifices if we feel it helps, as Americans we usually come together in hard times.
