14. I have not endorsed anyone. I think our entire field is great.
But Obama deserves credit. He had a solid victory today. And his speech was really excellent.

2. Agreed.
My wife said he sounded like Bill Clinton at the top of his form...

He definitely nailed the speech.

7. That gave me goose bumps!
It was perfect.

I want lots of Republicans to see that speech. Did Faux show it?

8. Inspiration is what a leader needs.....
Because it is inspired people that get things done.

A 50% increased turn out is due to inspiration, not from divisive, negative politics.

17. Yes it was.
First time I've actually seen him speaking to be honest, and he's very very good at it.

20.  "More affordable heath care for some..."
I noticed he was careful to qualify his healthcare position and make no claim to support healthcare for all.

That has always been my problem with Obama.

And it still stands.

21. Oh, my goodness!
I have been somewhat impressed with Obama, but not enough to make a commitment to him, or any other candidate, for that matter. It is because they are all pretty worthy candidates. My decision has not been made yet- the season is still young and this is the very first caucus.

BUT this speech was spectacular! Very moving and inspiring. Very "in the moment" presidential. I heard nothing tonight that even came close to the caliber of this speech.

Keep it up, my man....maybe.
