Barack Obama: We're Moving Forward!

President Barack Obama makes his case for reelection.

What did he say?

How would you grade this speech? A success or a flop?

I know it's not the passionate speeches from First Lady Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton, but it's worth the wait. It wasn't a boring speech. It was way better than Mitt Romney's acceptance speech for the Republican nomination.

President Barack Obama accepts the nomination for the Democratic Party. The embattled president is facing  a tougher reelection this time. And tonight's speech on the floor of the Time Warner Cable Arena is......modest at best. I mean I was hoping for the dazzle and sparkle, and the magic of 2008.

Well, I mean they did canceled the Bank Of America stadium event due to "rain"! It seems like he couldn't fill a soup bowl.

President Barack Obama didn't bring out the best, but it was well worth the wait. I mean the president acknowledged his achievements and knocked his rival Republican Mitt Romney for lacking the courage to stand in the face of an economic crisis.

The optimism is growing but will it help.

The election map is looking better for the president but still it's a long road ahead.

Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nevada, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado, and New Hampshire could make or break President Barack Obama.

The map has the president sitting at 247 electoral votes and Mitt Romney at 191.

If President Barack Obama wins either Ohio or Florida and any state he's carried in 2008, he wins.

Mitt Romney has a long way to go in order to beat the president.

Tonight the president accepts the nomination for reelection.
