1. Historic. I WILL remember where I was and what I was doing tonight

for the rest of my life... my wife and I were moved to tears and very, very proud to have this president.

2. That damn elitist, thinking he's smart enough to write his own speech!

It was a damn good speech. I'm not usually too stoked by speeches but this one got me and the way he told us that if we don't tone it down we're sullying the victims memories... a masterful stroke of the pen.

in entirety?

5. Look in GD for OP titled SPEECH by Nadinbrazinski. It's well worth rhe read. nt

10. He didn't write the way Michelle should respond - her natural demeanor

was priceless. She's always appropriate. I love her.

Why can't she give Palin some common sense lessons?

[Whisp]

13. he does it because he means it.
