Brett B. timed it at 70 minutes with 86 interruptions for applause.

Watching Nancy Pelosi, I feel a sense of compassion for her husband for some reason. I don't know, its just something I "feel".

Couldn't even bring myself to watch it. I was working late so I recorded American Idol. Watched it instead. I'm not frustrated or angry now. I'll see the highlights on the news tomorrow.

As soon as he said it she turned and spoke excitedly to Biden. You couldn't see her face but her head was bobbing and shaking. When she turned back to the camera her face was tense and her eyes looked a bit watered. She was angry. LOL.

"CLEAN" nuke plants, coal plants, and off shore drilling.... He doesn't mean a word of it. Said the same thing during the campaign, just rhetoric for the November election. And eliminating the capital gains tax on small business???? Trying to sound centrist.

Well, a new "clean coal" power plant is being built around here. Though I think the whole thing was put in motion before Obama.

That is 20 minutes less than your Apostolic call and response preacher under the "anointing" and 86 less interruptions under the solicited "Help Me Preach" category.

What was sorely lacking was the 60 minute altar call.

McKain looked like the disgruntled, embittered deacon sitting in the corner muttering... while Sheila Jackson Lee looked like she was jest about goin' to let loose and shockamoo.

Yah, yah. He campaigned about this and what has he and the Dems done the past year to follow thru with it .... nothing.

BHO says a lot of things in his speeches. But he's a politician and a liar and the majority of things he won't do.

Like other Presidents, R&D's, he got up and said what the polls and people wanted to hear. It was his one opportunity this year to get a positive bump in ratings and he'll likely get it because people like his speeches.

Give it time and people will remember his campaign lies and his approval numbers will fall again. Hopefully right before the fall elections.
