Enough.

While Obama was speaking I was actually distracted and doing something else on the internets. But when I heard him forcefully say “enough”, it really caught my ear. Something about it was very powerful. Like a firm statement of righteous indignation after bearing witness to eight years of corruption and incompetance.

Another winning line was “individual responsibility and mutual responsibility“. Obviously that is a critique of the Republican’s “personal responsibility” nonsense. The whole problem with the Republican version of personal responsibility is that whenever they’re personally responsible for crime, they take the personal responsibility of making sure that no one holds them personally responsible for what they’ve personally done.

All in all I think Obama delivered a great speech, and took some hard shots at old man Mccain. I had my doubts about the whole open air stadium thing, but it seems to have come off well. I’m sure it must have looked impressive in HD. 

btw- I’ve never liked the song “Born in the USA” until I heard it tonight.
