Yes it looks like I am wrong. Obama did not crash and burn and will probably be prez and I think a good one!
One thing caught my attention tonight was simply a few words when he was live after Clintons speech. His choice of words when he was talking about Americans were a tad spooky.
Background- early on in the campaign his wife got flack for saying for the first time in her life she was proud to be American. Well deserved flak but explained away. Tonight in Obamas praise of Americans - he said you people or it could be you Americans- no matter.
As a ex retail worker when some one says you people that irks me. It is a bad set of words in so many ways. In the context of his speech he should have said we Americans etc. The way he said it in that speech sounded like he was a outsider looking in or speaking to Americans members of a group of you people where he is about to lead.
It was just a odd way of words from himm tonight!
