Goodbye Dubya, here come the Barack and Michelle show...

[mrsbaldwin]

... and straight to the important stuff - she is wearing a dress by a Cuban American designer.

Switch on the telly right now and have a look at it all if you can

Despite the fact he is paying no attention I am really glad DS1 is kinda watching this.

Im listening too - Its soooooooooo cool

My ds is failing to appreciate this fact and is reading about musical instruments
Dd is playing bunny rabbits

Oh well at least Im impressed

Travel lodge round the corner

You tell'em Mr. President!

I do like listening to him.

Oh thank goodeess - I blubbed too!

You know when he keeps saying "you stand here before me?"

Does it remind anyone else of America's Next Top Model and Tyra Banks??

I called mil to make sure she will watch it with the DC, they are preschoolers so will probably just pick their noses and ask for stuff throughout. I want them to see it.

My friend, her Dh and her sons are in that crowd, she is a die-hard Republican, but said she wasn't missing "the most important day in the history of my country"

I heart Barack.

I think I have made my feelings for him quite plain on previous threads

sat and watched it with ds - very important I think - have the speech on to listen too,but ds has to do homework...

I'm admiring the dimple in his tie too, a good look.

am watching and enjoying....

(but wondering where jed bartlet is? and cj cregg for that matter?!)

What a great speech so far. He is such a brilliant orator - I could listen to his voice all day.

I have to go and pick my daughter up from gymnastics soon. I'll probably miss the bit where he pledges $50,000 tax free to every member of Mumsnet...

I have my 18 month old DS parked in front of the TV watching it eating his dinner, he appears to be watching

It's a fucking good speech.

I have to say I don't find him that charismatic - his style is so PREACHER BOY

I still think Nick Clegg is better at the oratory

Easy on the eye though

Am loving the speech, he is a V good orator isn't he

'preacher boy' !!!??? jesus morningpaper you have surpassed yourself.

How old is he?

Nick Clegg??? NICK CLEGG?? What are you ON, mp? You've slipped a cog, scrapbook/cries at Dr Who/loves Nick Clegg lady.

He is very good at public speaking isn't he, so much better than Dubya.

I think he is about the same age as Boy George, but wearing a bit better

LOL.

In fairness, Nick Clegg is better than Dubya.

Nick Clegg , a better orator ?? wtf ?
