Transcript: Obama's speech

Drudge Report ^

With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States.

.

Let me express my thanks to the historic slate of candidates who accompanied me on this journey, and especially the one who traveled the farthest – a champion for working Americans and an inspiration to my daughters and to yours -- Hillary Rodham Clinton. To President Clinton, who last night made the case for change as only he can make it; to Ted Kennedy, who embodies the spirit of service; and to the next Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden, I thank you. I am grateful to finish this journey with one of the finest statesmen of our time, a man at ease with everyone from world leaders to the conductors on the Amtrak train he still takes home every night.

To the love of my life, our next First Lady, Michelle Obama, and to Sasha and Malia – I love you so much, and I'm so proud of all of you.

Four years ago, I stood before you and told you my story – of the brief union between a young man from Kenya and a young woman from Kansas who weren't well-off or well-known, but shared a belief that in America, their son could achieve whatever he put his mind to.

Wow... I could barely hold back the vomit... According to this speech, Obama is going to build paradise in a mere four years. What scares me are the scores of people that truly believe what he's promising...

Keith Obamaman was reading parts of this on MSNBC and he got so very excited!

[Roscoe Karns]

Olbermann just read half the darn thing on TV in his stupid Ted Baxter Special Comment voice. Best speech in the history of the Spoken Word!!

[FlingWingFlyer]

This is just another version of the old Nigerian Prince bank account scam. Unfortunately, most people continue to fall for it time after time.

Gosh--and I wonder why a cynical malcontent like me might think for a second that these conventions are merely a media-driven, pre-fabricated sham. ;)

I'm guessing that Obama's speechwriter wasn't Cicero.

[LukeL]

"Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?

Ooh heaven is a place on earth "

That should be Obama's campaign song.

[popdonnelly]

Who cares? The man’s entire campaign is a lie. How can we be so stupid as to entrust the Presidency to a former Muslim with Marxist origins?

[Krodg]

great humility???

[Lady GOP]

[Mygirlsmom]

Take a peek at the comments on the website. ABC News, and nearly all negative toward the Obamination. People aren’t buyin’ what he’s sellin’

[Hildy]

Is it on now? Anyone watching? I can’t bear it.

[popdonnelly]

The guy and his little minions are a bunch of left-wing dictators.

Keith Obamaman was reading parts of this on MSNBC and he got so very excited!

Did he wet himself on live TV????

[mass55th]

I just read through his speech and all he does is give generalities, no specifics of how he plans to accomplish it. It’s nice to be able to promise things, but another to explain how you will do it. He doesn’t do that.

[conservativeinbflo.]

I actually can’t bear to watch it either... that’s why I read it. I honestly don’t think I could stomach the thunderous applause from the Hollywood left... on O’Reilly, they said Oprah was in attendance, wearing sunglasses with “OBAMA” spelled out in diamonds on the arms of the glasses... How hypocritical—the “party of the people.” My eye!

[blondee123]

Is it on now? Anyone watching? I can’t bear it.

NO WAY am I watching it. I can't stand to see pics of the terrorist running for Prez.

[Das Outsider]

Beginning with #6. The agitprop intros are sickening, a la, Hillary and tonight's New--and ultimate--Revelation.

We'll get plenty of that next week with the McCain panegyric.

This book not only will be written, but it must be so.

[RubyR]

This is as far as I got.

we must stand up and say: "Eight is enough."

Yay! It was a GREAT show!

[Krodg]

All I see is his propaganda video of his life.
