He struck a new tone tonight; not rhetorically, but in his physical mannerism. I’m guessing John McCains speech tonight got him a little upset; he was look pretty angry. Apparently Hillary’s didn’t the way he was praiser her. I had to mute that part; it was about to make me throw up.
Email Barack sent out before going on stage to make tonight’s speech:
Friend –
I’m about to take the stage in St. Paul and announce that we have won the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.
It’s been a long journey, and we should all pause to thank Hillary Clinton, who made history in this campaign. Our party and our country are better off because of her.
I want to make sure you understand what’s ahead of us. Earlier tonight, John McCain outlined a vision of America that’s very different from ours — a vision that continues the disastrous policies of George W. Bush.
But this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past and bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love.
It’s going to take hard work, but thanks to you and millions of other donors and volunteers, no one has ever been more prepared for such a challenge.
Thank you for everything you’ve done to get us here. Let’s keep making history.
Barack
