Mostly, he looks so happy and fulfilled. What a joy to see.

I do recognize several of his lines from earlier speeches (among others, he's previously called other diverse (student?) groups someone else's (does anyone else remember?) "worst nightmare&quot , but they are good lines, and I was glad to hear them again.

But, again, the happiness and the ease. Just a delight.

FYI, Northeastern Aoun seems to be doing a genuinely good job.

the media reports concentrated on three things - that statement, the reference to carnival barkers , and the comment about the Red Soxs and Yankees.

Is it any wonder that people read on a media that looks just for things like that, that the Republicans have a nominee who is best known from a reality TV show?

It works against politicians who speak in paragraphs and have actual ideas.

...and again today on CSpan2. I'm so glad it is being played to a wider audience. I think I may order a copy to show my grandchildren when they get a little older. It's inspirational, but also challenges the next generations to take responsibility for their collective future.
