Open Thread: Obama's Speech - What Do You Think?


What was your reaction to President Obama's Convention speech?


Bill Clinton's Address To The Democratic Convention

It was the moment that brought the voters to their feet and it was the moment that broke Romney's back. 

"This convention is done. This will be the moment that probably re-elected Barack Obama." -- GOP operative Alex Castellanos.

"45 minutes into the speech, a veteran GOP operative conceded, "The Big Dog brought his A-Game -- folksy, fiery and full-throated, right down to the lip bite."  NY Daily News






The Reviews Are In:

Under the headline of Bill Clinton: Trust Me, the Jobs Are Coming, Josh Barro at Bloomberg wrote:

Bill Clinton offered a brilliant and detailed defense of Barack Obama’s record on economic policy tonight. The speech was long and had almost bizarre levels of detail on job training, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare reform, and most every other major area of the federal budget. [...]
The conventional wisdom is that Medicaid is a losing issue for the Democrats. But Clinton’s case for Medicaid is succinct, sympathetic and persuasive, and I expect to start hearing it more often.
