"we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."

Best quote of the speech. And probably the one of the best thing I have ever heard in a Presidential speech.

this speech is epic.

epic? Not really. There was some moron("news" person) who claimed it'd be etched in marble someday or some such nonsense yesterday. Oh, I'm sure the little BO sheep loved it and think it's the best ever but the reality is - it wasn't what people were claiming it would be.

You squirted tears just like a little school-girl, admit it Cad! ;) :p

You can tell he is overcome by the patriotic moment. :p

I used to like Biden, but I have a feeling that he and his wife are going to be the cause of some embarrassing moments during the Obama years.

Substitute fist for ass, and he could have been talking about the GOP! :p

That part was pretty good yeah. I also really like:

"As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals."

I know it is soon, but some people out there have crazy fast fingers. Is there a transcript up anywhere yet?

Hehe, after the last 8 years just having someone who sounds intelligent as President is enough for many to get excited.

Just listening to it now. It has some good lines, but I think this is the speech he had to give.

And I'll say this, a mediocre speech by Obama is about 10x better than Bush's best.

He's right though. I had the TV on as I was getting ready for work this morning and the inane banter of the talking heads makes me ill.

Take a look in the mirror, champ. Bush hasn't said or done anything publicly all day.

You BDS people are going to go through quite a withdrawl soon.
