Amazing and inspiring speech, as usual (yes, I’m a fanboy, sue me)!

I would love to see the inside of the RNC HQ right now. HAHAHHAHA

I have my issues with Obama, but only the permanently befuddled or the ODS sufferers can claim that the guy lacks charisma or eloquence, or doesn’t give excellent speech.

I can’t quite get the reluctance of some on the right to concede he has this strength. It’s perfectly consistent to acknowledge he has it, and yet feel he says nothing of substance.

Similarly, I used to get angry at BDS sufferers on the left who couldn’t acknowledge that Bush was a charimatic and likable guy, by all accounts. Did I like him as a POTUS? Hell no.

Didn’t keep me from acknowledging he was very likable, charming, and charismatic as a human being, and that these were major political assets for him.
