Fifty-eight percent of Americans give Barack Obama's speech a positive review, including 35% who describe it as "excellent." Both marks surpass those given to the 2000 and 2004 presidential candidates, with the excellent ratings for Obama's speech 10 percentage points higher than any other recent candidate has received.
“Democrats give Obama’s speech rave reviews, with 62% saying it was an excellent speech and another 21% describing it as good. A majority of independents rate Obama’s speech as either excellent (27%) or good (25%), but Republicans were less impressed (12% excellent and 25% good).”
Oprah Winfrey: "I cried my eyelashes off. I think it's the most powerful thing I have ever experienced. He's not an African-American candidate. He's a candidate for Americans."
Hillary Clinton: "His speech crystallized the clear choice between he and Sen. McCain."
House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn, D-S.C.: "When Obama came out on the stage tonight, I lost it for a moment. … I really did. I have been trying hard all week to control my emotions. But I lost it for a while."
Pat Buchanan: "It was a genuinely outstanding speech. It was magnificent. It is the finest — and I saw Cuomo's speech, I saw Kennedy in '80, I even saw Douglas MacArthur, I saw Martin Luther King — this is the greatest convention speech. … This came out of the heart of America and he went right at the heart of America."
David Gergen: "In many ways it was less a speech than a symphony. … It was a masterpiece."
Obama's speech by the numbers
38-million
Approximate number of people who watched it on TV, but might be higher because PBS and C-SPAN viewers aren't included in the Nielsen Media Research number
would love to reread it, but you can only use the word change so much before it becomes very boring. he's a boring human being. barack obama has the IQ of a slim jim. congrats to him though. he can deliver a speech too, but so could some of the worst human beings in the history of the world.
The IQ of a slim jim? Before graduating Magna *** Laude from Harvard Law, he earned a Bachelors degree in Political Science from Columbia. His IQ has to be higher than a slim jim's.

You must have been bullied as a child...such pent-up, misdirected anger must have come from somewhere.

Wow the doctor slapped the wrong end when you were born. There's no such thing as affirmative action for graduating top of your class, Genius.
h yes, the key word "Sacrifice"..! The man will tax you for his give away programs until you can't afford to breathe. He is a socialist. He wants all of your money, because you are too dump to know how to spend it, but he will show you..
How can demos be so blind...
What surprises me is how vitriolic Obama-"haters" comments are...promote the qualities of your candidate (wait, impossible in your case) instead of trying to detract from the other candidate's superiority by spouting negative nonsense.
my anger comes from government waste. both candidates offer it. get over yourself. yes, all 6'0 and 200 lbs of me was bullied my whole life.
