'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
This may be old news, but here's a Google Docs link to a slightly edited transcript of the speech: [link]
I was playing a game with myself where I bolded and italicized anything that I think might be a soundbite. You can play at home!
I loved this speech. More than anything I've heard Obama give.
ETA: If you want a word document of the same transcript, with columns for better readability on printing, ping me at my profile addy.
covering this portion of the parade is so silly. bunch of black vehicles moving slowly with the secret service walking about. Coverage could have waited until the bands started.
I am actually getting some work done. YAY! I think my boss will be surprised that I have thigs ready for him to sign when he gets in tomorrow. And I am still gonna leave a little early, like in 30 min.
Yay! They got out! The crowd goes wild!
He's walking now. My heart is in my throat.
I just can't keep this big, dopey grin off my face. I ♥ Michelle and Barack Obama!
Me, too cindy!
Dude. The beer delivery guys just got teary.
He's walking now.
Aww, yay! One of my happiest childhood memories is the Carter inaugural, when they walked the parade route and (esp. in a pre-homeland security era) they were suddenly *right there* after everyone up on the stand was a bunch of tiny ants all day.
The beer delivery guys just got teary.
It's a beer ad!
He's walking now. My heart is in my throat.
I'd been OK all day, but this just made me lose it. I love that they got out early to speed things along because it's so damn cold.
