Wow, what a great speech to kick off the campaign. Nailing Romney directly and indirectly!!

[Pisces]

Nailing the tax cuts, and making Romney seem more out of touch with the regular working person.

He is on FIRE!!!

1. Nobody here seems to care. I started a thread with 2 links to the speech. He's giving a GREAT

speech-telling the crowd what Romney would do to turn back the clock. He's really firing up the huge crowd telling them what he has accomplished so far and what he still wants to accomplish.

2. Romney is going to melt on the same stage during the debates.

He would do better by not showing up.

[jenmito]

3. Yup. He's not dealing with the stupid Repubs. anymore. He's dealing with OBAMA! I can't WAIT for

the debates when Obama will call him out on his lies.

4. The only way we'll lose this election is

if they steal it.

[southernyankeebelle]

6. That is what am afraid of. I am also afraid of all the money in attack ads Mittens will

use against Obama like he did with his opponents in the primary. Not good.

[GoCubsGo]

7. And, that's a distinct possibilty, unfortunately.

They've done it twice before.

[Pisces]

5. The entire speech from start to finish was incredible. Romney can not compete on the same stage.

It will take more people getting engaged in the process. I loved the way he attacked Romney and how he reminded
everyone what we don't want to go back to.

FORWARD!!!!!

8. I'll have to watch for the rerun.

I missed it this time.

13. Thanks, jenmito!

9. That was a "barn burner" of a speech and Michelle's intro was awesome.

[Sheepshank]

10. No way...No way, can "Forward" be misconstrued as Marxist rhetoric

I clearly, got the "we're not going back to that shit" message.

We have started the forward motion in so many projects and policies...we are going to continue to move FORWARD

[YoungDemCA]

14. Good speech

Let's hope that the record matches the rhetoric in the second term.

15. Bookmarking to watch later.

Thank you!

16. I watched it on MSNBC

and now since its back to its regular non-new shows, I tried CNN to see what they were spouting about it, and guess what - nothing, no coverage.

If it were Rmoney, Mittens, the corporate media would be all over it. Also, prior to Pres O's speech, both channels, CNN and MSNBC had commentators that were negative, and I do not like Chuck Todd at all.

17. I thought the President did a fantastic job. I, once again,

know he's my candidate because the tears started rolling
down my cheeks....glad he brought up "Hope" and "Change".
That worked the first time and as good as "Forward" is, "Hope"
is something the 99% hang onto as it's one thing the repubs
can't steal, demean, spin, etc.

He was on fire and I thought the crowd was very receptive and
a lot bigger than I expected.

18. Magnificent!
