This guy actually is "Presidential" without being overly pretentious tonight...I hadn't seen his talking points before so I probably got a stronger version but the guy was pretty good.

it was a new and improved laundry list of lofty promises that democrats have offered up since humphrey. government will do everything for you except wipe your ass. he'll track down bin laden, get us of off mideast oil in ten years time without relying heavily on drilling, equal pay for equal work, tax cuts for all, college education for all, an army of hew teachers with higher salaries, more sick days and paid leave, protect social security and pensions, health care for all, jobs to stay in america from now on, address climate change, change americas moral standing, defeat al qaeda and the taliban, prevent iran from getting nuclear weapons, curb russian aggression, etc, ad infinitum. of course it isn't possible, where in his vast resume of accomplishments does one find the faith that he has any clue about how to bring about any of these changes? what has he ever done/acheived other than build a cult following?
