Obama clinches nomination with 2119 votes!!!



I think his acceptance speech was very presidential - i.e., it was classy, unlike some of the behavior we've seen from other candidates.  He showed respect and courtesy to his opponents - like a real leader. Michelle reminds me of Jackie Kennedy in this picture.

Here's a quote from his speech that I like;

"The other side will come here in September and offer a very different set of policies and positions, and that is a debate I look forward to. It is a debate the American people deserve. But what you don't deserve is another election that's governed by fear, and innuendo, and division. What you won't hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge, and patriotism as a bludgeon that sees our opponents not as competitors to challenge, but enemies to demonize. Because we may call ourselves Democrats and Republicans, but we are Americans first. We are always Americans first."
