Tuss Pataki!
This week has been one of great speeches. While the Clintons (both) speeches annoyed me somewhat, Sen Obama more than made up for it. This man was incredible!! I just hope he delivers more than powerful speeches when he becomes President....err...because he just might!!
Anyway, I sat spell bound through the acceptance speech marvelling at sen Obama's oratorial skills. Of course, hubby dear was busy working while listening....so he mostly had his eyes on his laptop.
But when Sen Obama had finished, his family and friends joined him on the stage and the fireworks went off. My husband finished me off with "those fireworks look so lame" We laughed so hard!!
We might have been watching history in the making tonight....but those fireworks just could not keep up with the Chinese!! Dang!! They just spoiled all the fireworks fun for the rest of world!! Imagine Diwali, the 4th of July. Everything is going to fall flat, because all those people who Tivoed the opening and closing ceremonies will be watching them year after year....nothing is going to satisfy the fireworks fanatic anymore!! Double Dang!!

Yesterday I was reading newspaper while the TV was tuned to CNN. They were beaming Obama's first speech (in Chicago) after winning the elections.. When I heard his voice, i subconsciously put the paper down and stood enraptured by his voice (and the content of his speech). By the time they cut him off, i had goosebumps ! I can only imagine the effect he must be having when people hear him live. Truly an inspirational speaker. I just hope he can deliver through his actions aswell..
Righteousness, humility and graciousness personified....:-))
