I was falling asleep watching TV when I came accross his speech.
...
You all know I lean on the conservative side, but I could honestly see this man as President soon.
I dont know anything about his politics. The nation knows nothing about his voting record (none to speak of). But he is the best public speaker the US has seen since Kennedy or King IMO.
His demeanor while speaking, confident and a bit arrogant (what I like to see). His voice projecting like a General talking to his troops. His hand gestures seem natural (as opposed to the seemingly taught gestures by Kerry/Clinton/Gore).
I had mostly ignored everything I've seen on the news about him being the new Democrat star, honestly passing it off as them posting a young tokin' black guy to draw out minority votes. He deserved to be up on that stage. IMO he upstaged everyone else combined.
Gore sounding resentful and bitter. Clinton sounding indifferent. Hillary just a bad speaker. Dems just better hope Obama doesnt upstage Kerry. Obama LOOKED like he belonged there during that speach, Kerry always seems uncomfterble.
