As usual, the first part was spent hating President Bush and trying to associate Senator McCain first with President Bush and then the hate.
Then, there was a try at making Obama and his family just like everyone else.
When he got to specifics, they turned out to be the usual liberal nostrums. Cut and run from Iraq as always, promises to solve the energy crisis without new drilling, and so forth. He claimed to be able to give a tax cut to 95% of the citizens while spending enormous sums on his new programs and charities. Implausible claims are bound to seen by some as easily secured promises; however, real people with real experience will see the weakness of empty promises.
He concluded with scary emoting that made him look like some type of fanatic.
His speech, could be a sermon and was delivered like a Protestant sermon. Senator Obama did learn something from Jeremy Wright.
The speech was nothing more than a politician's prayer for political power.
Keith O has just lashed out at at the AP and a writer named Charles Bablington.
Charles didn’t write a very glowing review of the speech and Keith is disturbed.
Very disturbed. And he is upset that this will get written in thousands of newspapers across the country.
Charles, watch your back. The Obama camp will sic their hounds on you.
Looks like we got lucky tonight with a average speech..although the newsmedia will be bootlicking it so who knows
It better be Romney..Best of a bad lot..Tim is a nice guy which is not what McCain needs
Martin Luther King did not need rock stars and fireworks to leave his legacy. Obama is NO MLK. He is no more than a cinder in the ashy heap of history. Obum is an empty suit with the forked tongue of the devil himself, dare I say of a false profit. He is a Marxist, who went to a Marxist so called “Christian” church who damned America and who’s very mission, (so called, “black liberation theology” DENIES THE DIVINITY OF CHRIST. The event was so much bigger than the candidate that it will leave but a sooty residue in the minds of even the most devout Obamatrons. The bad news is that the republicans are so ineffectual and so afraid of not being polite that they are likely to sabotage the gift that the democrats have given them. A soulless, empty windbag, who loathes 50% of his genetic makeup. Some might argue his better half, at very least the half that didn’t run out on him. Gutter politics from the OLD party of lowest common denominators. God save America.
What is the point to Greta Van Sustren’s show?!?!?!!?

I would like all Americans to know the following:
!) President Abraham Lincoln was a REPUBLICAN
2) President Abraham Lincoln was BORN and RAISED for the first 7 years of his life Iin KENTUCKY
3) President Abraham Lincoln was only BURIED IN ILLINOIS
The DemocRATS at the DemocRAT Convention in Denver would have all Americans believe that Abraham Lincoln was a DemocRAT President who was BORN and RAISED in ILLINOIS.
Typical Dem playbook speech... We will rip the country apart along partisan lines over partisan issues we will blame the Republicans and then tell America only we can unite it.... Truly sickening... America needs to wake up and ask itself if Bush is so screwed up... and Obama is gonna make all this change... What possibly can Obama say to America the next time we have a terror attack like 911 and our children are killed>? I just dont think George W. Bush was right is gonna cut it then.
I don’t think Obama is anything like Hitler, but this whole circus demonstrates how someone so evil could find himself in a position of power.
