That was an absolutely incredible speech. He actually inspired cynical old me. He made an orchestra from my heart strings. I don't know what to say other than that.

Could he possibly rock harder?

That was seriously about the best thing I've ever seen.

Well I'll be good god damned. I feel like I just saw our equivalent of Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address.

I took tons of notes, but none of those words mean a thing next to the pride I feel right now.

Wow. Just...wow.

I was truly moved.

More importantly, I actually listened to the speech — first politician in a long time who I felt actually said something.

Obama is something remarkable, indeed, and don't worry, David Wright, Obamanomics will enrich this country and you'll be better off even if you pay higher taxes: kind a like the Lasser Curve in reverse. You pay more taxes AND you get richer! Hey!

Can he really do all that stuff?

Let me guess, everyone is crying, right?

the tears started rolling when he said "america is better than this." what a beautifully cinematic speech.

Barf! Dino Rossi just cashed in on Obama's speech in a commercial.

He was truly presidential. I don't think he can lose.
