1. K&R!

2. 40 years - unbelievable!

Barack's speech is so thought-provoking and nostalgic for me. He's painted a portrait of one of our country's greatest citizens - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - who actually remains a citizen of the world.

3. It is an amazing speech!

And it highlights the work Americans need to do rather than just voting a president and going to sleep.

On the local level there is so much change that can be done!

4. Holy Smokes!

I grew up in Ft. Wayne! I know that the people in Ft. Wayne must be stoked, they never get any candidates to show up there...EVER. I never thought these words would have come out of my mouth but, I wish I was back in Ft. Wayne, at least for the speech. I wonder if some of my friends and/or family were able to see this.

Wait 'til I tell my sister!

Shes' got to be excited, it's the first time that their votes in the primary might just matter.

O and the speech is amazing, of course!

5. great speech...

6. Just empty words - "kind of like I have a dream" didn't contribute to a societal revolution

(sarcasm in case it was missed)

7. I was there!

Heard it in person - excellent crowd, excellent speech!

9. It was great to watch -

when you're live, I don't always hear things clearly (and I was WAAAAAYYY up in the rafters!), so I am grateful it was uploaded!
