Obama's Speech

I'd vote for him if he promised to be executed by firing squad if he couldn't come through with at least 25% of the promises he made in that speech.

If one were to listen without prejudice or preconceived opinion based on policy or party, one would have to agree that he is a pretty inspirational orator. Or maybe it just seems that way because of what we have had to listen to for the last eight years.

Being a great orator does not mean you will be a great president.

Funny

[dalakhani]

Interesting that the knocks against the guy before this speech was that he never defined what type of changes that he wants to make.

Now that he lists his changes, he is overpromising.

LOL. let the spin begin.

No kidding. I took Public Speaking in college and made A's on every speech I gave, but only made a C in the class because I never turned in a written outline. Never had much of an idea what was gonna come out of my mouth until I started talking. I have the gift of gab and bullsh*t...just like most politicians.

CNN keeps interviewing sissies.

Whoever is selling kleenex at Invesco is banking.

Have you considered a career in Congress?

[trifecta124]

I bet Obama voted for Bush in 2004....I don't think he could have voted for Kerry.

Dude..if the 18 people held at gunpoint in Ohio had voted, he'd be Prez now

Well if he loses the election, I am sure he will do very well selling used cars.

It is what candidates do at conventions but somehow this guy was able to bring it to a level beyond the typical BS. He had some really catchy lines ala Andrew Shepard played by Michael Douglas in

"The American President.....Bob Rumson's (John McCain's) problem is that he just doesn't get it" In this case McCain doesn't get what it means to be middle class".

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.

Do you really believe that he is capable of doing EVERYTHING he said? He has all these ideas AND HE IS GOING TO LOWER TAXES too. Does he know about secret Nazi gold under the White House? Everything is Change. Why doesn't he explain how he is going to fund Change. Foreign Policy can be another thread.
He was also Preching alot at the end of the speech. Jessie Jackson, MLK type preching, that I do not think will go over very well in certain parts of the country.
