thank you
"thank you" "thank very much" "thank you" "thank you" Okay, I’m for Obama but I was annoyed by his repetition of dictions.  It's like ... "okay, we know how much you can’t express your gratitude in words"  |

because she is a hard worker so it may had contributed the "aged-political" look on her face and neck. Think about all the stress, odd schedules, and things she does.
Not to mentioned, she graduated from Harvard … and Princeton? i dont remember ... she quited her old job at the law firm to be involved with community services. she was also the head of certain organization. |

More pretty rhetoric with little substance. Listening to flowery and evasive language is not inspiring to me in the least.
Not that John McCain is really any better. |

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a politician make a speech and get straight to the point? |

personally i think that anyone who says this speech was exactly like his others either A) didn't watch it or B) hasn't watched his others.
the rhetoric was different, the change message was more outlined and less vague, he his all the main points that needed to be hit. |

Between reminiscing about his church, attacking McCain, and offering hypothetical scenarios of the suffering working-class, it was disappointingly stale.
I also have the entire transcript in front of me. There is zero concrete extrapolation on any of his plans. If he wants to inspire me, then he needs to stop playing it safe with flowery words that don't mean anything, which is the same problem as pretty much every single politician out there. |

Reidar, he was preaching the choir.
I think it's one of Obama's biggest downfall. Sure he can charm the people that love him anyway, but I'm unconvinced he can get enough lukewarms and undecideds to support him. |

Find out what a partial birth abortion is. They pull the baby out of the womb, crack the head open, then suck the brains out with a vacuum. |

Neil Boortz, author of The FairTax book, wrote an interesting article on Obama's speech from an economic standpoint.
