"This campaign has never been about me. This campaign has been about all of YOU."That speech was AMAZING. I don't think I've ever been so proud to be an American. And I know it's cheesy, and I know it's exactly what the whole point of big flashy speeches is, to make you swell with this "USA! USA!" pride, but...seriously ( Read more... )

I'm shaking still.

I KIND OF ALMOST WANT TO WATCH THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION SO I CAN LAUGH AT HOW HORRIBLE IT WILL BE COMPARED TO THIS.

I have my reservations about Obama (though, that won't stop me from voting for him) and I have to say, you can't say the man doesn't speak honestly and passionately about how EVERYONE (the awesome people?) want our country to be and what we should be shooting for.

That was pretty great, I cried at Hillz's speech but this was pretty close. Good stuffs :)

Seriously, like whether or not you agree with all his politics, he obviously has the right idea about EVERYTHING. It's exactly what he said about gun control and abortion and immigration - we might not all agree, but there's a way to agree to disagree instead of one side just pushing their opinions on the rest of us.

SLOW CLAP!

What a night. I am so excited for this election.

I almost feel bad for McCain at this point. What the hell can he even say at the Republican Convention?

Look at me, I'm incredibly old!!! Hey, how about this weather we're having?

That was SERIOUSLY a slow clap moment!! On MSNBC they're all going, "THAT WAS LIKE A SPEECH FROM A MOVIE!" and then they're like "THAT WAS EVEN BETTER BECAUSE IT WASN'T FICTION"

LOL that's exactly what McCain's going to do, lots of smirking and being old. He'll be surrounded by a bunch of guys with white hair hahaha.

Trufax, McCain really has a hard task cut out for him.

ETA: I was totally tearing up when he started working in the King Jr. bits.

Yeah I had goosebumps.

In my 27 years on this planet I've never had goosebumps when listening to a speech that wasn't some old recording and/or in a movie hahaha.

HOT DAMN.
