We Are Always Americans First

This speech will go down in history.

"America, this is our moment! This is our time!"

That speech was amazing. He somehow managed to turn McCain's speech around from earlier and throw it back in his face. McCain saying he is an agent of change? Hah. Obama twisted that around. "That's not change we can believe in" became "It's not change when John McCain... XX"

His comment also about how if John McCain would stop talking about trips to Iraq and maybe look to the cities in America that need help, then he'd understand exactly what kind of change we'd need.

I absolutely loved the end of the speech. I had chills the whole time. This is the moment. This is when we can look back and say that things started to change. This is when we began to end the war, to heal the planet. Fancy words, I know, but it's SO powerful.

I am in awe of this man.

"America, this is our moment! This is our time!"

Always, always remember where you were this night. It's historic.

Yup, he's got great speech writers, and amazing charisma, but does that mean he can lead a country? Not saying he can't, just thinking.
