President Barack Obama

[Eilonnwy]

HAHA I actually lold at some of those. Approaching midnight too. I was just starting to get sleepy

I watched it live, was pretty good. That Rick Warren guy was pretty terrible. I found myself commenting on the majority of what he said, much to my mother's despair. She was enjoying the christian babble.
Obama's speech was pretty good in my opinion. However, it did seem to sound a little bit uhmmm... like this: "no matter what shit we throw at you, keep working, keep trying, until you drop dead." But was covered with patriotic sugarcoating and came out more like "as citizens of this great nation, and in a time of darkness like this, it is the responsibility of each of us to refuse to give up, to refuse to back down, to continue playing a part for this prosperous democracy we call the united states of america". I don't know, to me it just sounded very "play your part- shut up and work".

It didn't sound like that too me at all. To me it felt like he was saying we all need to work together. We all in this together and we'll all get out together, but not without hard work on everone's part. That was the messge.
