Am I just a 'victim' of the gush??<BR/><BR/>When he said what he said about 60 years ago maybe he wouldn't have been served a drink in this city, that summed up the speech for me. Completely down to earth and grounded, with lofty lofty hopes. I am actually stunned with how I feel, which is a little overwhelmed with the change I feel.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-70988866816735861482009-01-20T15:02:00.000-05:002009-01-20T15:02:00.000-05:00Beautiful image!!!Beautiful image!!!sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307968128182359860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-50853775956192067612009-01-20T14:11:00.000-05:002009-01-20T14:11:00.000-05:00Good point, Claire!Good point, Claire!laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999450626008299190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-18222231428558468202009-01-20T13:53:00.000-05:002009-01-20T13:53:00.000-05:00I loved every second of it, and the bobble by Robe...I loved every second of it, and the bobble by Roberts was practically the icing on the cake of 8 years of incompetency.
