I was overjoyed by Obama's speech, in that.... although this is indeed a monumental time in the USA's history....there was no chest thumping about being THE man who achieved it.  In my eyes, he has far more substance than just charisma.

I thought Obama's speech was both heartwarming and inspirational. It was truly one of the most historic moments I have personally ever lived through. It was equal to the moon landing in terms of the "WOW" factor, but it means far more to me than that. And like I said, for the first time in decades I have some real hope that things will get better.

 
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

  Well, here's to hope and new vision TB !

I don't either, as long as you don't throw a shadow over me.

 Obama's speech was good. He gave McCain credit and good graces to his service to his country.

I did like McCains admit of defeat, shushing of the booing, and his telling of the people that voted for him to vote for the now president.

The arguement about the electoral votes and popularity could go on forever.. we have similar problems here in Canada with that. I think going by percentages for leaders, compared to electoral votes is retarded.. especially here in Canada where theres like 5 different parties. The Liberals, Conservatives, NDP, Green Party, and PQ. Although the PQ isnt outside Quebec. There would be turmoil with percentage electorates, and the three major parties going at it. One leader with an opposition, and the others with their votes throwing in for the side they want.

I think that makes sense.
