Thread Name: BS: Barack Obama
Subject: RE: BS: Barack Obama
Even Scarborough (Fox news channel guy who usually interrupts and shouts over people) was praising his speech last night. I liked what he had to say, and how he said it. It was the best political speech I've heard in recent years.

He still seems to have ideals, and the focus of his speech seemed to be about ideals and doing what's right, instead of the anti-Republican ranting I'm used to hearing. I think he has pretty broad appeal, probably as a result of his inclusiveness. I watched some discussion of him on one of the news channels (can't remember which) before the convention, and they said his supporters included independents and some Republicans as well as Democrats. I think he needs more of a history before tackling anything as big as the White House.
