What a wonderful, touching moment when the indomitable Gabby Giffords led the pledge at the DNC. She is a great inspiration!

Watching Gabby Giffords made me cry.

Beautiful sight, gabby Giffords.
— Dana Perino (@DanaPerino) September 6, 2012

All the jokes about him obscure one thing: Joe Biden’s a pretty good speaker.
— Alex Koppelman (@AlexKoppelman) September 7, 2012
Well, that was nice. Joe Biden’s love of his wife Jill is genuine and touching. #DNC
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) September 7, 2012
That’s Biden’s fourth “literally.” “Literally” did not appear in the prepared remarks. Literally. #DNC2012
— Chris Geidner (@chrisgeidner) September 7, 2012
This is the part where the Biden/Hillary switch happens.
— Ryan Lizza (@RyanLizza) September 7, 2012
Please please please Obama end your speech with, “We have a Hulk!” #DNC
— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) September 7, 2012
HE SAID “MUSLIMS” BEFORE “JEWS” THIS MUST MEAN SOMETHING
— Andy Levy (@andylevy) September 7, 2012
This is the speech you give when you think you’re winning and just want to avoid screwing up.
— Matt Yglesias (@mattyglesias) September 7, 2012
Obama knocking someone for being new to foreign policy is fair, given he’s been potus for 4 yrs, but also rich, given where he was 4 yrs ago
— Jon Ward (@jonward11) September 7, 2012
Never thought I’d see a Dem nominee beating the crap out of the Republican on foreign policy, but this is amazing. #DNC2012
— delrayser (@delrayser) September 7, 2012
Anyone transcribing Obama’s speech should write it as, “I am the [motherfucking] President.” #DNC
