"If you're tired of arguing with strangers over the internet..."

POTUS just called us out, P&N.

Very good speech. It was full of hope and about as non partisan as you can get. He had a great message that I hope resonates.

The best speeches are yet to come, Trump has the best speeches, everyone knows this.

Well, it's the last time we are going to hear anybody presidential actually uttering words as a president for a while.

 

[Bitek]

Caught bits. High class, dignified and passionate.

Shame it had to fall on this night.

 

[theeedude]

So proud to have had Obama as our president for 8 years. People forgot the hole that Republicans dug us into that Obama has dug us out of.

 

[Doc Savage Fan]

Quite an impressive "sermon on democracy" and "song of hope".

It surprised me that it was carried live on the three networks, all three major "news" channels (Fox,, CNN & MSNBC), CSPAN and PBS. (I hunted around looking for a channel without the horrible echo).

I don't recall anything but State of the Union Addresses, maybe inaugurations, having such universal coverage.

It was an excellent speech and really brought it home (to me at least) how much we are going to lose as a country in a few short days.

Term limits forced out the best choice in 2016. Let that sink in.

Past presidents were all covered. You just don't remember it because it was usually done from the white house and didn't garner the attention that Obama's did.

Well Biden could have ran as well.
