Barack Hussein Obama’s speech is over.
He went Moderate.
He went Positive.
He invoked God.
With the media complicit, McCain is in trouble. It was an Incredible Show.
There were lies made. Emotions and feelings. Too many to document.
The Obamatsunami continues.
Facts are immaterial tonight. It was a Rock Star Show tonight. Barry knows to whom he has to speak. He is forgiven his stated moderate stances — as opposed to Hillary — simply because he is black. And because, I believe, the Left think it’s a Ploy. Once seated, the gloves will be off. We’ll see — and I completely agree — the True Barack only once elected.
BZ
WOW!
What a speech, pretty damn good in my opinion. He spelled out his complete agenda with no questioned un-answered, agree with or not.
I will hold my support for either candidate until I watch the RNC Convention and hear what John McCain has to say.
Taking our troops out of Iraq and putting them back in Afghanistan to finish the job works for me.
Really? Did he talk about who is going to pay for all this “free health care” and “free money for students”?
I shoulda Tivo’d it because I swear I missed that part.
I heard proposals that are going to cost the TAXPAYER an additional $300 BILLION…
That goofy bastard is gonna get us ALL killed…
I don’t think everyone was fooled BZ. Even Juan Williams wasn’t that impressed. A lot of people are saying that its the same speech he gave 4 years ago.
But it wowed The Masses and — correct — nowhere did it indicate the OBVIOUS source of all this cash. Me. YOU.
BZ
the difference between a space rocket and a firework is simple
One quickly goes nowhere with a beautiful bang and the reaches orbit with a slower, but still impressive steady burn.
Don’t give up yet.
IIRC he did mention he was going to get rid of the loop holes for large corporations. And ease the tax burden for the new small ones?
Did anyone else notice, that in the span of 2 minutes, he went from calling the US one of the best countries in the world, the envy of many …… *THEN* he went into telling us how we sucked?
Which is it, are we great, or do we suck?
He also said he wants to reduce government, something about line by line, *THEN* he wants to add in government health care, and all the other stuff he wants to add.
So which is it, make the fed smaller or larger?
I must admit, only going on that speech I was impressed.
Three closing thoughts for y’all
1) BHO still reminds me of Lawrence Fishbourne in the Matrix when he is giving his speech to the masses in the cavern
2) I also still see the parallels with Hitler (empty suit, going so far so quickly)
3) Biden seriously looks like a televangelist, especially in the suit he wore last night.
…. just say’n, remember, I’m just nit-wit Canada who’s working on being able to vote in the 2012 election……..

Well, he rocked the media and that is what his campaign is all about. Jumped about 6 points in the polls. He is a media darling and knows how to play it. God help us…
I’m a business owner with offices in Los Angeles and manufacturing plant in Palm Springs California.
I have visited manufacturing plants in China, Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea, India, Denmark, Italy and Spain on many occasions because we could save some money. Every time I came home and said NO, I want our products manufactured right here in America made by Americans. I was told I was crazy and I showed them I was not.
Sales are up and business is growing. Tonight I hear someone say that I may be rewarded with lower business taxes for making that decision, it’s about fucking time.
We have 150 people in Los Angeles and 75 people in Palm Springs and if I have to pay a little more taxes on my income so that these people can get a break, once again I say, it’s about fucking time.
Taking better care of our vets when they come home, I like that.
Sending our troops in to war with the right equipment and orders to win, I like that.
Getting back to the real War on Terror and going after the people who really attacked us on 911, I like that.
Up-holding the 2nd amendment for guns owners and doing more to get guns out of the hands of criminals, I like that.
Do more to stop our dependency on Saudi Arabia for oil, I like that.
Ending 8 years of Bush, I like that.
I realize that having a logical conversation with anyone other that BZ, Robert and Texesfred is impossible here. When I say I don’t vote down party lines I mean I don’t vote down party lines.
He never once used the word free, affordable yes but never free.
As I’ve said before I will wait to hear what McCain has to say before I make up my mind.
Rando
How many of those workers are LEGALLY working in the US?
If Ballsack raises corp taxes and “cuts” according to CBS 95% of the working families taxes who is paying for everything? The corps will just raise prices and the “extra” money the get from the “tax cuts” will go to pay for the stuff so INFLATION raises raising prices even more. Higher prices less sold, less sold, less workers even more living off the govt teet. If Ballsack gets in we are headed for an era WORSE than Jimmy “The Peanut brain” Carters time in office.
Oh, I forgot to mention, so the democratic convention was supposed to be environmentally friendly, hmmm, big stadium lights, fireworks, tens of thousands of trips for spectators ……. So I wonder what the carbon foot print of last night was? Yeah, I know, all the cars and fireworks where also powered by windmills [/sarcasm]
I must admit, I was very impressed with everything that he said, and he said a lot of very right things.
But seriously, if you look past what he “said”, and to the actions of the recent democratic presidents; if you look at his past …..
How can you possibly believe he is going to leave enough money in the military, really.
How can you possibly believe 9mm shells will be available for a reasonable price?
How can you possibly believe that he is going to create anything that will provide any meaningful deterrent to the Mexican crime wave crossing our borders (BTW, Ronando, your Southern Cali will be one of the first places to get rocked).
One speech does not, and can not add any substance to the empty suit he is wearing.
At least In My Not So Humble Opinion.
WMD,
Every single one and have been for over 25 years.
Longrider,
Both the DNC and RNC Conventions are being powered by wind and solar, 100%
