Apparently over 84,000 people were at Invesco Field last night, and about 38 million people watched the speech on television.
I definitely thought it was a good speech, just not amazing. There weren’t really any great one-liners to stick in your head following the speech. It wasn’t like his speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. When comparing the two speeches, even Obama himself said that, “there’s a special moment there that we can’t recapture.”
What are your thoughts about the speech? Was it really Obama at his best?

I’ve head better speeches from him – but this one was defintly more presidential. He also looked tired.
I thought it was incredible. It was far more policy-based than the 2004 DNC speech. I liked that he took the opportunity to debunk McCain’s lies about his tax plan while nearly 40 million people watched the speech.
Oh god!!!! He talked about what everyone was telling him not to talk about. The same crap about hope and change, and telling the American people how he will deliver. As Jon Stewart said “SHIT ON HIM (McCain)”. Stop praising him! and go crap all over him! We were Mr. nice guy in 2000 and we lost, we were Mr. nice guy in 2004 and we lost. WE NEED TO BE THE DEVIL!
