A home run. That's all that needs to be said.

It was excellent. I think it shows why he is going to win this battle.

It was goooooooooood. They wanted to pan it on cable but all the cuts showed the MASTER at work.
And for the other side? across the street at the church parking lot a guy with a gun and a sign.
Hard to spin this any other way.

I was impressed by Obama’s town hall. But I had an especially emotional reaction at the end when he went into the audience and started shaking hands. It was a beautiful thing, but all I could keep thinking was “The Secret Service has got to be hating this. They’ve just got to be hating this.” Maybe I was scarred by JFK and MLK and RFK? I never thought so before, but somehow this looked scary.
