2. He modulates......
as he should.....and thank God for that....otherwise, he'd be nothing more than a memory in the pile of presidential wannabes right next to Jesse Jackson and Dennis Kucinich.

3. I suspect his ire was building up while he was overseas, and could only listen...
to the jackassery going on over here. Since he's come back, he seems to be on a bit of a tear.

12. I was in tears at the end!!
I just sat there in a puddle for a while, soaked it all in, basked in the afterglow!! I think he had been bottling up feelings deeply felt since his visit to the "point of no return". Thought he was going to shed some tears there for a moment! Seems like he turned his emotion into a new resolve doesn't it? You know.......I kind of like the calm, cool Obama too. He makes me really feel safe when he doesn't get all rattled like we do.....like "HE'S GOT IT"!!!

15. At the end as he was about to walk off stage, he looked all pissed...
like he had just gotten the coach's pregame speech and was about to head out n play football. :rofl:

9. It is like a different person
today I loved him. I usually am left cold by his lack of energy and detached manner. Usually since he won that is. This is so much better than the zombie version we've been getting.
Now if he could learn to turn his words into action and close a few deals we'd be smoking!

11. I think he has been exhausted lately. Maybe he needed to get out of the country for
a while to get some fire back.

18. He has been underestimated and underrated.....
But history will remember all of his great speeches to date....even if we, the people, can only think about instant by instant.

25. He had to get up there and put on a show because he's pretty much ignored African Americans

thus far. One size does not fit all Mr. President. The people who are among your most loyal supporters deserve more of your attention.
