Obama, 2008 Democratic National Convention Address

I’m sorry, but there really is a difference in standing before a Greek Revival-style courthouse or government building to give a speech, and actually having a fake Greek temple constructed for the sole purpose of emphasizing the historic nature of the moment. Bill Clinton is wrong. Obama is not a Chicago thug. He’s just got a chip missing.

Obama forget his Presidential Seal?

Are the bands going to play 'Hail to the Chief?"

well if McCain picks Romney at their convention they can break into the theme from "Silver Spoons"...

"Here we are face to face...a coupl o' silver spoons...hopin' to find... we're two of a kind hopin' to grow ...hopin to go...together ...we're gonna find our way"

cue satge elevator Ricky Schroeder and KFed entrance (Kfed does a rap during the bridge)

Andrea:

Go ahead, trumphet the humorless Republican line! You'll be sorry, come November 4th, when your candidate McSame goes down in flames!

Obama 08

They asked Romney how many homes he owns today.

His answer --- 1 less than John "Heinz" Kerry.

I was a Hillary supporter. But even I must admit that this nomination is a HISTORICAL event and guess what? It's about time! I am a very proud American.

Yes, back in Kerry Edwards days no one minded the Silver Spoon twins, so that doesn't really work today. But nice try.

Did Mitt really say one less than Kerry?
LOLOL. Love it!

Meanwhile the Obama-Ayers scandal heats up and he's in a frenzy over it. Trying to shut down free speech. Amazing. And scary.

The absolute stupidity with which some folks make their decisions is beyond comprehension... who gives a bleep about columns or suits, or whatever... can we move pass our childish notions to focus on the fact that millions like myself have no insurance, as a single mother with one income trying to provide for 2 children.. this bunch of nonsense is really infuriating... there are many of us who choose to focus on the issues and not these distracting non-sensical garbage...

Actually this whole dog and pony show is not proving to be as "historical" as it is "hysterical"

I mean, c'mon. Saturday Night Live couldn't do better than this. LOL.

How much money would have been saved if Obama gave his speech like all other Presidential Candidates have -- from the convention center.

Wasn't it "grand" enough for him?

Is this an example of how frugal he will be with taxpayer dollars?

I agree and I too was a Hillary supporter.

Nerakami, you're right - all this showy stuff the Dems & Obama are doing is ridiculous and non-sensical.

The question is: why does Obama need all of it? Perhap he knows all to well how little substance he has.

well atleast Romney knows the count.

it's always good to have a president that understands the fiscal stresses of people sooo much he can't easily say how many homes he owns.

It's not about being rich ...or even not earning it...

the most important thing is ...he doesn't understand it.

although I wonder if you put a student loan application or a small business loan app... or a tax form...or application for subsidizing your mother's housing...or a help wanted ad...

or a tax form...

if he, Romney would actually be able to fill them out either

the guy making decisions should have an understanding of what it means to earn that money ...not inherit it or divorce into it.

In an Obama adminstration, will citizens be required to view the MSNBC-Obama network? Will Chris Matthews be appointed court jester?

Will citizens of the United States of Obama be charged a fat tax on drive-through burgers?

Kerrie

they offered to have it at John McCain's forth house...but they did not need that much property and Cindy's dad wouldn't approve.

since he is the one that earned the money for the house(s) in the first place...

Under President Obama, will farmers be required to grow arugula, or will iceberg and romaine still be allowed? Will mashed potatoes and gravy be banned?

When Obama is crowned King of the United States (and Berlin), will he have President Clinton executed for calling him a Chicago thug?

After the coronation, will First Lady Michelle really scratch President Clinton’s eyes out?

Thank you for being honest.

What a historical event... I am also a very proud American today. What took us so long?

God Bless America!

Under the Obama regime, will government funds be used to pay MSNBC, CNN & Newsweek magazine for their work on behalf of the Obama campaign?

Andrea et al: sour grapes! this is utterly awesome! it makes me really proud to be an american at this point in time, that we can nominate a black man for president. he'll be one of the great ones...
