That was the best speech of Obama's lifetime. The adoration Hillary showed for him when she came on

[BigBearJohn]

stage made me break down and sob. It was the perfect ending.
I do believe he just got her elected. A true history lesson on
what it really means to be an American. Blown_away.
I'm saving this speech. Completely bowled me over.

1. He's given so many, in hard for me to pick his "best", but he was fabulous..

He's just a truly special man...I'm so glad he and Michelle are buying a house in DC....He may be leaving office,
but I'm sure he'll continue to be in the public eye for a very long time.

7. They are staying until Sasha finishes high school.

I am hoping that Hillary puts him on the Supreme Court after that so he stays in the area because he is a national treasure.

[whathehell]

26. I was hoping that too, but

he's already rejected the idea..said he'd feel too 'cloistered' or something.

He'll.be around, though..He's got too much all around charm, brains & wit for the media to ignore.

[malaise]

27. That would silence him

Bad idea

[kestrel91316]

32. Good point

[democrattotheend]

12. I thought they were just renting?

Because they only plan to stay until Sasha graduates.

Then again, if Hillary nominates him to the Supreme Court he will have to stick around. Wouldn't that be justice for the Republicans who held the seat vacant for over a year?

Except then he couldn't speak at our conventions anymore.

16. I'd take that swap

Anyday!

[liberalmuse]

2. I have no words.

My words could never adequately describe his words. This is a rare, great man.

[arthritisR_US]

3. Her adoration of him and his of her was beautiful:) nt

[Skittles]

4. he does give purty speeches

[AgadorSparticus]

5. His speech is for the ages!

[Ellen Forradalom]

6. It was amazing

I sat on the stoop with my laptop under a rosy sunset sky, watching and listening to his speech. So glad I did.

[True Dough]

8. His words ought to appear prominently in history textbooks

It would be an inspiration for future generations. Orange Cheeto will hopefully be a parenthetical reference at best.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

9. I Agree With Lawrence O'Donnell

He said that he's seen the 4 best convention speeches of his lifetime, and they were all delivered by Barack Obama.

Really, can we just elect him again? I'm not ready for him to leave.

[MFM008]

11. maybe we can hang on to the helicopter

as it tries to take him away................

[MFM008]

10. it reminded me of his Iowa Speech

(but better) but similar in tone. I was an HRC supporter until that night
When I heard Obamas Iowa speech..............

13. Fortunately we have sites like Youtube, where we can search and watch all of Obama's

speeches any time we want.

His 2004 DNC speech in Boston, where a President was born.

His 2008 DNC speech in Colorado, where a President was elected.

His 2012 DNC speech in Charlotte, where he was re-elected.

And now, his 2016 DNC speech in Philadelphia, where he got the first woman elected as President.

Also, the great speeches by soon to be Madam President Hillary Clinton.

Furthermore, not to forget, the very many great speeches by Bernie Sanders, who ignited a political revolution, from which America will greatly benefit. Some of it soon. Some of it a little later, and .... some of it maybe frustratingly much later, but still will happen.

It is up to us to not only help President Obama pass the baton to Hillary Clinton, but also include our TRUE Bernie Sanders supporters and Democrats keep the revolution going.

Liberals and progressives of all areas of the Democratic spectrum.

14. 'Adoration' probably isn't the best word

It has cultist and other religious connotations (The Adoration of the Saints, The Adoration of the Magi, etc.). Respect and friendship and admiration are perfectly fine words.

[BigBearJohn]

28. This was my intent:

ad·o·ra·tion
noun
1.
deep love and respect.
"he gave her a look of adoration"
synonyms: love, devotion, care, fondness


How others care to interpret it is up to them.

[SunSeeker]

15. Yes, the way they hugged, it brought tears...

[lastone]

17. Fantastic photo

Thank you

[Upthevibe]

18. I always say: "he'll never be able to top his last speech" but...He. Always. Does!!!! N/T

[smirkymonkey]

30. +1000

[pnwmom]

19. That kind of affection can't be feigned -- especially by reserved people like Hillary and Barack.

It was great to see.

[Maru Kitteh]

20. He was AMAZING. I turned into a leaky fountain when she came out.

They have genuine love for each other - that was absolutely apparent.

[Maru Kitteh]

29. Dammit I ALWAYS miss "message removed"

so disappointing

[Warren DeMontague]

21. It was a really really good speech.

Chills.

[octoberlib]

24. I'm going to miss this man ...

and his family. I get teary- eyed when I watch him speak because I know his time is almost up.

[duncang]

25. Everytime I hear him speak.

Even just smaller things when he addresses things happening there is a clarity a calmness to him. Even under immense pressure. The trust worthiness that I have felt he has shown during his presidency is just... A man I admire for what he believes in.

[Avalux]

31. Well, all I know is he made me bawl like a baby.

His speech was optimistic, uplifting, powerful, and nonpartisan...even conservatives liked it! It wasn't just the words either - it was HIM, and what he conveyed to all of us - that he really does care.
