Sullivan: Obama's speech to Gen44 knocked my socks off.

[impik]

Obama's speech to Gen44 tonight knocked my socks off. It's streaming on CSPAN here. If you've forgotten why many of you worked your ass off for this guy, and felt hope for the first time in many years, watch it. He deserves criticism when necessary as this blogazine has not shied from at times. But he remains in my judgment the best option this country still has left - and it's far too easy for the left and far too dangerous for serious conservatives and independents to abandon him now.

....

Know hope; and fight the cynicism and nihilism that is increasingly the alternative.

Exactly.

6. I read his entire latest Rolling Stone interview.

I must say, as often as I've criticized Obama for not advocating as much as he could be, and not muscling a reluctant Congress to get more progressive things done, I have to give him credit where its due. He definitely has a lot on his plate, and we could certainly be doing a lot worse right than we are now. I was really just impressed with how much knowledge he has on so many wide-ranging issues facing this nation right now. It is a comfort knowing we have an intelligent person at the helm, for a change, even if he does capitulate too much.

15. Well, since that's not what is happening except for if you are speaking about the Republicans,

It makes no sense to show up in this thread to say this negative cliche.

FR is who needs to be told that Speeching without action is what losers do.

Us, we've got us a winner.
