1. Thanks. For some reason, I thought this was taking place tomorrow

[malaise]

2. Violence and separatism says the Dallas mayor Mike Rawlings

Those two words - stop the guns.

[a kennedy]

3. Why do they clap after a prayer??? eom

[malaise]

5. They're clapping for a performance

not a prayer - and that was one hell of a performance.

[a kennedy]

19. no not the awesome singer......it was after the 2nd prayer giver......

sorry, just felt it was weird to clap for a prayer.

[malaise]

21. Oh - to be truthful i couldn't tell a word they said

I zoned out when the first of the three of them started.

[marybourg]

25. It was the imam.

Just like at Friday's prayer service, the imam selected was an exceptional speaker.

[HipChick]

4. I think Michelle hates sitting next to Bush

she looks miserable...

[malaise]

6. LOL

I would be too

[malaise]

7. she just grabbed his hand

She's way nicer than quess who

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

8. W - welcome President Obama and Mrs. Bama

That's what it sounded like.

[tallahasseedem]

9. I commented on another thread...

that I do not like that man, but his speech his pretty damn good. Well, so far. I'll give him that, but that's about it.

[tosh]

10. I'm with you...

was thinking that that was probably his best speech ever.

I wonder who wrote that for him.

[tallahasseedem]

12. I was happy with the tone of unity...

which flies in the face of the Yam. That was about the only thing he has gotten right.

[malaise]

14. Nice - cultural history of the chief

Stevie Wonder. Maybe he watched Dr. Brian Williams yesterday

[malaise]

11. Thanks - you know way more than most of us

Chief Brown looks like all form - and little else. Tell me if I'm wrong.

[flamingdem]

13. Love this guy

couldn't turn up the sound until now, especially when Shrub was yappin'

[malaise]

15. Stevie Wonder

Chief was very good - selected the lyrics of Stevie Wonder - brilliant

[flamingdem]

16. Was just wanting to hear that

[malaise]

17. Weren't we all

It can wait - Obama

He is going to go for those fugging guns again. I hope so

[tallahasseedem]

18. Our amazing Commander in Chief doing an amazing job as always.

I will miss him dearly.

[malaise]

20. Same here

This will be good

[malaise]

26. This is stunningly good

Another speech for the ages.

[tallahasseedem]

33. I was bawling...

I have always admired his ability to make us feel better us such horrible circumstances. Again, I will miss him dearly.

[gademocrat7]

27. So will I.

[spanone]

22. K&R...

[malaise]

23. We know that bias remains

We know it... GObama.

[malaise]

24. OMFG this is good

You can't dismiss it...

[procon]

28. What a speech! He's smashing a lot of sacred cows on both sides.

This is what great men do, and maybe it's a turning point.

[malaise]

30. It is stunningly good

He has the mind of an academic and he has genuine empathy for Americans - he knows racism - even in his own home.

[procon]

32. He's an outstanding and inspiring speaker.

I'll tell you, he's made me weep several times, both in joy and hope, but also in sadness and pain. My heart just aches.

[malaise]

35. And then we have a jackass like Brian Williams on GEM#NBComcast n/t

[tallahasseedem]

34. I was incredibly impressed with the message...

It was spot on.

[a kennedy]

29. Kinda not liking the two guys behind the POTUS...... eom

[malaise]

31. Bush and his wife didn't clap once

when Obama was speaking. They didn't even clap at the end. No words.

[procon]

36. Bush is acting like a clown, swaying like he wants to dance a little jig.

Look at him! He's gotta be drunk!

[malaise]

37. I saw that

Guilt for war crimes does that to yah.
