We've survived the first night of the Democratic National Convention, the only high points being speeches by Ted Kennedy and Michelle Obama. Let's see what the Democrats have in store for us tonight.
There's no doubt this isn't the speech she was hoping to be making at the convention.
The question about her speech has got to be this: Will it be what she says, or how she says it that will be remembered?
Apparently the state of the US economy is the number one issue of the campaign at this point, with the war in Iraq being a distant second. Can Obama win based upon economic issues just as Bill Clinton did 16 years ago, even though the economy isn't nearly as bad as the media and the campaign rhetoric make it out to be?
As far as they're concerned John McCain isn't enough of a Democrat because he supported some of George Bush's moves in regards to the War on Terror, the economy, and energy policy. He's guilty of being a Bush clone because he's a Republican!
I wasn't aware John McCain was supposed to be running against Obama as a Democrat.
Someone inform the media!!
The video was well done, no doubt about it.
I wish I could say her rhetoric was as well done. At least she let everyone know that she's proud. She said it often enough.
She claims George Bush's leadership has failed over the past eight years. I guess she has a short memory. All one needs to do is remember September 11th, rousting of the Taliban out of Afghanistan, chasing Obama bin Laden into Waziristan and making him nothing more than a tinny voice heard every once in a blue moon when an audio tape could be smuggled out of the mountains where bin Laden hides. I certainly don't call that a failure.
She laid out a lot of plans for a Democrat-dominated government - the House, the Senate, and the White House - implying that all would be cured once that day came. The lame would walk, the blind would see, the ignorant made smart, our enemies made to melt away, the economy would magically heal itself, oil would flow from every faucet, our teachers made powerful, our children indoctrinated, global warming reversed to bring on a new Ice Age, partisanship eliminated by eliminating political opponents, make the government the provider of all things and the controller of all our lives. After all, we aren't capable of making decisions for ourselves.
Yeah, and pigs will fly.
She also slammed John McCain, making it appear he is nothing more than George Bush in other clothing. I think McCain's voting record says otherwise.
She mentioned our country has been around for 232 years. I fear that if the Democrats get their way, America will likely become unrecognizable, and our freedoms and our economy will fade away. We will likely become more and more like Europe and something unique will have died, and done so to the adulating cries of "Obama! Obama! Obama!"
She used every cliché in the book.
No surprise there.

Tonight's headliner? The big speech delivered by Hillary Clinton.There's no doubt this isn't the speech she was hoping to be making at the convention.

Is this 1992 all over again?Apparently the state of the US economy is the number one issue of the campaign at this point, with the war in Iraq being a distant second. Can Obama win based upon economic issues just as Bill Clinton did 16 years ago, even though the economy isn't nearly as bad as the media and the campaign rhetoric make it out to be?

There was a slew of speakers tearing into John McCain during today's convention session. That in and of itself is no surprise. But at least they could have been original rather than reading from the same script.As far as they're concerned John McCain isn't enough of a Democrat because he supported some of George Bush's moves in regards to the War on Terror, the economy, and energy policy. He's guilty of being a Bush clone because he's a Republican!

After a video paying tribute to Hillary Clinton, she was introduced by her daughter, Chelsea. Call it a rhyme, an echo of last night's headliner, Michelle Obama.The video was well done, no doubt about it.
