( background...it is one of Baracks and Michelles favorite songs..and in Cali when he came to the Oprah Shriver rally he did not get to play it- and he did come to the stage with Michelle and she was so sweet to him- and so breathless by him - it was a wonderful moment....that was this winter - it seems like years ago)....
HelloHELLO MARIA .....

YES...
WE...

Si se puede...es una noche muy bonita, no?
Translation: Obama's gonna kickass tonight!

and NOW he is talking about Obama ( after first talking about Lincoln- smmmmmmooooooth)
Inconvenient truth must be discussed...
E.Pluribis Unum..
Out of MANY we are ONE....
Al was good but not great, I think he gets a tad too "intellectual" however the crowd responded well nonetheless!
I enjoyed it of course... and I think on the whole it went over well.
Michael McDonald? Of the Doobie Bros?
I can't wait for Obama... that huge crowd. Who wants to guess on how long the applause will be??
Mike OH BE Still my heart....sigh....I love this guy...
Singing ...America the Beautiful..."for those that want their Country back"....
Nice rendition of "America the Beautiful".
He's got an amazing voice.
Doobie Bros, right and Steely Dan, all r&B these days.
West Coast Stations...are cutting to this tonight .....
McCoot: LOL!!! Crappin' his Depends... holy shit I can't stop laughing! Thanks Enigma!!
hmmmm Tribute to retired Generals...hmmmm, Wesley Clark????WHO ???
Yeah they have really favored R&B & Motown throughout. However, some of the Pepsi Center stuff was so bad... much better tonight although weird lapses. But I'm watching CSPAN. I refuse to miss a second by letting pundits in my face.
WElllll Helen - it is true....
IT is PACKED !!!! Can not even see floor.all seats full.....
Susan EisenHouser wow...you go lady....
She is soooo classy and well spoken...
Are there some folks heckling Eisenhower's granddaughter?
Jesse Jackson just strutted in w/his posse.
She has normally aged teeth. I'm so not used to that. LOL!!
This is good a Diehard Repug Lady is laying it down...I saw her really explain somethings to MSNBC the other day- she said that they ( MSM) has underestimated HOW unhappy people are, fed up....
Al Gore. My president.
The man I voted for in 2000. The Oracle. What would've been had five banana Republicans in black robes not robbed him of victory.
I wonder who the Old Coot will have at his convention performing?
Wayne Newton? Some hillbilly singer?
She is a KNOWN republican...that is why she might have gotten heckled- it has not been well publicized that she has gone INDEPENDENT...warm welcome..GOOD...
Okay , hmmmm who is next ???
hmmm, General John Adams, Jamie Barnett, Wes Clark, Larry gillespie, Kevin green. John Guder....John Hudson, Claudia Kennedy, Dave MCGunieness, Tony McPeek, Lord Fig Newton, Joe Cstack, John ...
OKAY I give up,,, it is like 20 STAR Generals...WOW...they look good up there...TOUGH....
Major General Scott Gration.....
hmmm, he has an interesting story...
Wayne supports Obama.....
Hmmm, Lawrence Welk ? Anita Bryant?
McCain will get some dead old singer, one of the rat pack, probably, weren't they ganstas??
( Note to self NONE of them looks like Rummy....or would work for Rummy)
Wayne supports Obama? Wow!
Lawrence Welk is dead.
Anita's still around.
Miltary support for Obama...good plan.
Oh now I see the general's tribute.

Good job Joe...roused the crowd..good..
Roy Gross from Mcihigan- he is a Teamster. a Joe Q Public guy...okay...let's listen...oh dear..a car story...sad..

Helen: Where is Bono? Maybe U2?
OH MY GAWD the brilliance of getting REGULAR PEOPLE who have been screwed over by the past 8 years to speak... fucking GREAT. I love it!
I like hearing these stories- they are so amazing- and that they don't care about being polite...and are being HONEST....and the folks are giving them the love...cool
Monica Early!
KellyBelle: U2 would be PERFECT. They actually did play them last night, I was like What the HELL? Most everything else was so lame!
Hello ladies and gents! What did I miss? Kidding...I just read...Wish we had a decibel level at the stadium when Obama comes out.

Barney Smith nailed it!

Obama and Michelle have been going around the country LISTENING...

Now the crowd is going "Barney! Barney!" I love it. Oh that is SO g-d funny...
Oh please let the BOSS come out !!
Sweet--nice and patriotic
born in the USA...si se pude!
Cambio=change!
HEY am I precient? It's Springstein! Sadly, not live...but they seem to have tricks up their sleave... maybe???
I wonder if Patricia Arquette is going get on stage and dance like the video to this song!!
Okay they are showing this guy in the upper deck with a HUGE flag...it is choking me up - he is waving it in time to the "BORN IN THE USA"....
Half hour to go to see Barack!!!
IT IS FUCKING packed- LOOK at the aerial !!!!
I honesty can't see how John MEllencamp & Springstein can stay away, they've become quite the liberal mouthpieces of late.
Born in the USA!
Great song and kind of ironic since only one of our Presidential hopefuls can make that claim.
Isn't that right John "Guam" McCain!
Yes it's PACKED to the hilt. AWE-fucking-SOME!
This is like the World Series!
So WHAT NOW folks ????
If tonight doesn't give Obama a MAJOR "bump" I will know it is fixed...
I think Obama should drop into the stadium in a parachute!! He'd bring down the house...
It's better than the world series IMHO.. sorry, not a huge sports fan...
Did you all text the number??
By the way Bradda I believe you are thinking of Courtney Cox and the video for "Dancing in the Dark".
I don't have a cell phone or I guess I would have...
AHHH, so very right gryphen!
Bradda- you are sooooo funny...a parachute- very BONDLIKE...
POWER TO THE PEOPLE song- that rocked....we need Some MORE good music ...
Hmmm ? What now???
Ok, everybody get a drink for Obama's speech. Everytime he says "change" you have to drink! We'll see who gets alcohol poisoning first! Heh...
Nope..not gonna play...for me it is Soooo nice to watch Something I don't have to do mylanta shooters with...
( cough like ALL the Hearings and Repug Debates..)
I think he is going to kick ass- you know he never did release the speech to the Press !!! yeahoooo...
I have my wine ready.
I am a liberal, I am EXPECTED to drink wine.
wow...Tshirts with the SUIT crowd- I like that alot....
It's good to see you Bradda!
Back at ya Helen...
Yeah I like how casual everyone is at the stadium.
If I can't blog I might as well live blog with you crazy people(kidding)...it's fun!
Hey if the dems have been somewhat nerdy can you imagine how lame the GOoPers will be? OMG...
I have stale Beer in the Frig- I could drink that I guess- it is 3 years old though....( hey cut me slack - there is no one to drink with here....6-6 nope...Lilly the dog - nope...)
People watching is excellent...
( I don;t think there will be people dancing at the MCCoot event)
Gryphen: "ready"? Mine's half gone! Where do you get your self discipline?
Actually Enigma the press just got their hands on his speech about half an hour ago.
I had to turn the station because Keith was reading part of it.
I love Keith but I want to hear it from my main man tonight.
Here comes Dick Durbin! He's actually been good 'n' sassy in the past! Cheeky, really...
oh great...my beer needs Bottle opener ...shit...had not planed on that....I wonder if a screw driver would work....
Dick Durbin...oh he is doing good...
( wow....Bradda- see we are an okay crowd...;-)
They showed Michelle- looking lovely....
Chicago's my home town, y'all, just FYI. I grew up with *gulp* George Ryan and his kids!!! So I know these Illinois politicians, my dad was one (but hugely minor... I'll tell you about it someday).
You cheated!
Obama is not even on stage yet!
Oh man I'm really getting excited. I've got goosebumps!!!
You're so funny Enigma!
WTF is Keith doing spoiling the speech? Is someone getting too big for britches? Maybe he's getting delirious... LOL!
half hour ago- and I bet Keith was the only one that got it...thanks gman..
NOPE no punditheads- not even Keith and Rachel today....
I want Obama that is ALL I want to hear...well, we need to hear ...
Dick is rocking it...
Oh, was I supposed to wait for a toast? I'm a radical. I don't DO tradition. ha!
Helen, if you had to spend that much time with Tweedy you'd snap too!!
Hey there Dem pals..... Did they mention this IS the 45th anniversary of the MLK I have a Dream speech?- again & again & again....
I am excited...Candles lit ( my version of Fireworks...still bummed about the stale beer....oh...(
Dick is good...

Gryphen: Hyuk!
