1. It was indeed powerful and moving

[highplainsdem]

20. I hope it will go viral.

[Hugin]

2. A friend raved about it.

It may prove to be historic.

[liberalmuse]

3. Agreed.

He hit it out of the park. What a contrast to prezident crazy pants.

4. K & R & Retweeted!

5. I started to watch it. But, I've been terrified

That Biden will stumble, so I can’t watch. I’m so pleased that it was a good speech.

[frazzled]

6. Yeah, right. He didn't.

He doesn’t. Allay your fears.

[Sogo]

8. Exactly.....

Tell us, bamagal62, How do you “feel” watching Trump bloviate?

[bamagal62]

16. I think you misunderstood my post.

I love Joe. But, I get nervous when he speaks so I can’t watch. So, I’m not sure why you responded to me that way.

[Pacifist Patriot]

23. I know what you mean.

I love him too, but I've been conditioned by the stupid media to dread a "gaffe" even though I rationally know they are meaningless. Because I know if he isn't 100% accurate and speaks at an acceptable rate (which no one can do flawlessly), he's going to be unfairly maligned because of it.

7. Make a point of watching it all at the link. It is an amazing, heartfelt speech for all Americans

Never once mentioned Trump. Repudiated the white supremacists and white nationalists again and again.

Go. You’ll be glad you did.

10. Me, too

I'm nervous when Biden speaks, but it's only because I know the Rethugs will tear him to pieces over any little mistake. Meanwhile, the Orange Menace can say any crazy thing that pops into his head, and almost no Republican will say a single bad thing about it.

Very unfair.

[bamagal62]

17. That's my reason for not watching until later.

[StarryNite]

9. Thank you for posting this.

11. Did any MSM play ALL of it or of Michelle Obama's speech?

I have seen clips of both on several programs but not the whole thing.

25. CNN covered all of it in real time.

I watched it, and found it inspiring, extremely well written...AND...well-delivered.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

12. I called my hubby in near the beginning because its importance was evident from the get-go.

Being in Gettysburg was powerful on its own. He made the heart felt plea to reject racists' desire for another civil war and those who spit on soldiers graves that have been there for over 150 years. Also knowing that Lincoln was assassinated for that war and made the most important address in our history right there..

It all was such welcome assurance that we can be America again.

[Vinnie From Indy]

13. It was a great speech given at the right time.

This speech will be remembered.

[JCMach1]

14. I cried all the way through...

Having just survived (I got out of hospital Friday) I could not help myself.

[ancianita]

24. Hugs to you!

And high hopes that you're getting better!

18. I agree with John Dean

That was an amazing speech by Joe Biden

[ananda]

19. I watched every minute of it yesterday.

It will go down in history as one of the great
American speeches given in a time of crisis.

[Roc2020]

21. His acceptance speech was the best but this

was a close second. At Gettysburg nonetheless. Timing was perfect, had to just have Trump seething

[bucolic_frolic]

22. Trump wraps himself in the flag

Biden wraps himself in America.

I'll take it any day.

[alfredo]

26. Only speech that could better it was Obama's religion speech.

27. Bookmarked for viewing later. n/t
