When Obama Gave That Rousing Speech At The Dem Convention That Put Him On The Map......

[global1]

what were the comments that came from Bill and Hillary Clinton about him then?

1. Don't keep us on the edge of our seats!

TELL US!!

2. I Really Don't Know - That's Why I Asked - I Couldn't Find Anything.....

but I'm sure they made comments about it back then - because - all Dems did.

3. Can you give us examples ...

of "all the Dems" that did?

4. I think Bill said,

I wish my keynote had been as good.

5. A speech should be irrelevant.

Speeches are where lackluster leaders can level the playing field with their betters. (I'm not saying that was the case with Obama. I'm just speaking generally.) Speeches are stagecraft and good writing--easy venues for fraud.

Reportedly Bush gave a great speech to Congress after 9/11. I saw it and was amazed at how lackluster and really pathetic it was. This was shortly after Bush finished bunny hopping around the country and snivelling on national TV. All his vacillating, dithering, scurrying, babbling, and yes, even his lips quivering on national TV suddenly meant nothing.

So much for speeches. They are usually written by other people anyway.

6. I saved that speech. He was magnificent. Everyone in the audience

was like..."who the hell is this guy and why have I never heard him before." He was on fire and absolutely took the air out of the room. I'm a Bidenite, but Barack has oratory skills that are magnificent.

7. I was amazed

It's the first time I have ever been so impressed by a speech.
I have a friend who was at the convention.
She said that because of the mood and the buzz after he finished she felt like she could picture Hillary's presidential hopes deflating.

8. Quite honestly, I don't care if they liked it or not. I loved it.

Barack Obama owned the nation that night. That was one hell of a speech.
