    Well at least he picked a good Brooks and Dunn song to close. Probably the highlight of the speech.

    The tenor of Obama's campaign has changed. I think he's going to play a lot more offense from now on.

    he has to. and that's all he has to do. it should be his election to lose. as long as he does his job, he should win.

    If by offense, you mean, "negative", then yes, you're right

    I was trying to figure out what that crap was. Awful. It makes me want a latte, though I am currently sipping a Harviestoun Ola Dubh No. 12.

    The Republicans are going to b**** and moan because they want the Democrats to be passive so they can wage a one sided war.

    It's a film score. I'm not quite sure but I believe it's from Armageddon. I could be wrong but I do know I've heard it before.

    EDIT: It might also be Remember the Titans.

    Well, they did raise him. If you did any research at all, you'd know that.

    And T_J; a substantial portion of his book is devoted to his life in Indonesia with Lolo Soetoro. Lolo was a man in his life for a very brief period of time, a time that most of us struggle to remember with crystal clarity. I don't acknowledge my step parents as being major formative forces in my life, as such, I would not put them in my video either. Get with the program.
