Hooray for Obama giving a wonderful and inspiring speech! (I actually mean that, btw.) However, my enjoyment of every clip of the speech I've seen is seriously hampered by the two out of focus figures sitting behind him, so obviously waiting for the next cue rise to their feet and pretend to be inspired into paroxysms of applause. As a speaker, a statesman, a charismatic figure, Obama is amazing, one of the best to have ever held the office, and seeing them in contrast to him does Pelosi and Biden no favors.
Oh, but-- Hey, Barack? 19 months and a 50,000 troop residual force in Iraq? That is not the change many of your voters thought they were voting for.
