I'm watching Obama's speech today

And this is the man I voted for. In a nutshell, he's destroying all the republican talking points about jobs, immigration...you name it.

I wish I could type more, but I'm literally moved to tears. This is a very important speech, and we need more of this.

Any rational person who sees this speech and mocks it is an idiot. This is about our country, not about politics.

But your comment about 'rational' person mocking O's speech...???

It's going on right now on RW sites....

don't bother thinking about it.
"Rationality" has nothing to do with it.

and that's what makes me so sad!

Any normal person would see this as a love for their country and wanting to help. So disappointing it's turned into a political football.

Love to you!

I would imagine that any person who mocks this speech wouldn't exactly be on the rational side period.
