Night Four Report Card: Grade Obama's Speech

It was an A. He reinforced his role as an agent of change. He oultined his presidency and his positions extremely well, and seeing the first African American candidate and soon the first African American president in front of 85000 people deliver the speech that he did made me extremely proud to be an American tonight.

This comment is about Day 4 of the DNC convention. This was a wonderful night for America. I am a proud Democrat and an American (yes, I can be both!). Tonight was just what I hoped for. Obama's speech was a big WOW. He is proving to be the candidate to beat! He is and will be ready to the Commander in Chief. He leaves no doubt in my mind that he ready. I am a 60 year old white female who has never sent a comment for anything to anyone! I will say it again, I am a proud Democrat and an American.

I only listened to my 2 favorites ... Hillary and Bill. Tuned off Obama tonight ... mute button was on the entire speech but I did see all the hype and excitement over this man ...

And I had to ask myself WHO the hell is this guy and WHat on earth has he really done to deserve all this attention and excitement ...

The answer is hollowly NOTHING ...

I have never been a Rush Limbaugh fan ... but I sure thank God today we have a Rush Limbaugh out there .... and we have Tom Sullivan out there and we have a Glenn Beck out there ... and a Ann Coulter out there ...

This Obamamania shows Americans are hypnotized by this guy who the past 20 years have fed off the Rev. Wright ...

and someone who does not think he needs to serve a full term as a U.S Senator and has RUN for office MORE THAN he has SERVED in office ..

I want everyone to CLOSE their eyes and picture a WHITE OBAMA .... and picture his REAL experience ... those few years in a state Senate and just a year in US Senate .. picture a WHITE OBAMA who does not have the oratory skill that the Black Obama has ..

Obama has done as well as he has BECAUSE he is BLACK with that oratory skill ... THAT IS ALL.

I remain a Hillary supporter who will vote MCCAIN
MCCAIN 08 HILLARY 2012

Same Democratic promises and we can anticipate the same results...free tuition, free health care, he will chase Osama into Pakistan...

As independent I gave tonight speech A+
(Master peace). God bless I am American in 21st century.

GoodLordNoObamaPlease - Yet another employee of the RNC who makes up one user name after another here to publish such nonsense. If this was truly a Hilary supporter, they would be doing what Hilary is doing - voting for Obama.

A+ , A wonder, historical night. George Stephanopolous - D-

"GoodLordNoObamaPlease" You make a judgement about a speech you didn't listen to? Go ahead and vote for McBush, you're too stupid to be a democrat. Obama is the Man for this era.

A++ - Showed me a great difference between his ideas and McCains. I am now solidly voting for Obama. No-brainer. As an independant, I can't help but notice all the republicans do is whine and make childish comments about silly things like sets. Why no plans to get out us of this hellhole Bush made? I think I know now. They DON'T have a plan. I'm sold on Obama, now. Bravo

This was spectacular. What a homerun. How could we as Americans not be proud of this young man. What a great step forward for Americans. He is truly a great young man who would represent American PROUD. Great speaker, leader, role model, family man. Need to give Democrats he chance because we can't get down any further. McCain lives in another world. Does not know how MOST Americans live daily. He can't remember how many homes he has.

A++ He was inspiring, forceful, and gives me great hope this country can be fixed.
I hope to see the special interests groups out of Washington next.

Easily one of the best acceptance speeches in modern history. An out-of- the-park home run. He did what he had to do tonight artfully and eloquently and left the Republicans little ground to stand upon. He clinched my vote this evening. I do not understand how any mature and intelligent American who is not poisoned by partisanship or polluted by predjudice can vote for anyone else. Barak Obama's time has come and he is the next President of our great nation.

Ombama presented his speech just the way I had expected. He is a man that can and will deliver our country out of the mess that Bush has put us in. I think that people of America need to stop looking and the color of his skin and look at the contents of what this man can do for us as a people.

I felt hopeful tonight after listening to Obama's speech, and it's the first time I've felt hopeful about the direction of our country in a long time.

Obama's speech gets an A+++. I liked its balance--that he talked about government's responsibility as well as our individual responsibility. He said exactly what he planned to do and implied he'd fund it by closing corporate tax loopholes, higher big business taxes, and eliminating bureaucratic offices and functions that no longer work.

Sure, his goals are lofty! But if he achieves just 20% of them, we'll at least be going in the right direction whereas McCain will take us deeper and deeper into a Bush-begun bottomless pit.

Obama impresses me as an idealist, but one whose feet are on the ground. We need someone who agenda is open and honest. We need someone who won't spout Christianity and family values when, in reality, his values lie totally with corporate interests, particularly Big Oil. Obama is a breath of fresh air who'll work on making the Bush/Cheney-polluted White House safe and non-toxic again for the future of America.

Anybody taking bets on whether more than
a third of the crowd at Invesco field
were Actually Registered Democrats? Hey,
they didn't check during the primaries,
why bother now? Oh yeah, Obama's gonna
fix Washington, just like he fixed the
primaries, and that so called nomination.
On the whole I liked his speech, though.
Especially when he got to the part where
he said: "I am my brother's keeper!"
That's one of those cute little sayings
them evangelical types like to use,
kind o' takes the sting out of it just
before they shove the knife an inch deeper
into your back.

OBAMA ROCKED THE HOUSE.

Great speech for the dummies who believe all the promises which he can't deliver.

Do you people even listen to yourselves? Do you even understand what Obama was saying tonight? Can we all just quit drinking the koolaid and really concentrate on the problems?

The DELIVERY of the speech was an B-. (At times, he appeared to get into a 'preacher' style)

The actual TEXT of the speech was a B.

But lets not get this confused. Yes, he's a great speaker when he's reading off a teleprompter.

But Democrats and Independents (I address you because Republicans are not fans of Obama anyways) Obama said tonight he's willing to have a debate with McCain over who has the judgment to be Commander-In-Chief. Ask yourselves this question, if he's willing to have that debate, why won't he agree to a debate? He refuses any debate invitations other than the standard three in Sept/Oct. No more. Why? Lets have a debate if he wants to have a debate.

Furthermore, Obama's now acting as if he's the reason Bush and Iraq have decided to bring troops home. It seems to me the only reason either side has agreed to do it, is because now we can. Ask yourselves this question Dems and Independents... if a surge in Iraq wasn't going to work, as Obama said, how is it going to work in Afghanistan?

Obama plays himself as the candidate above all of the partisan bickering, a man who's able to cross party lines. But he's never put his money where his mouth is. He never really has crossed party lines on a vote that would have made his own party upset. I'm not talking about ethics reform or nuclear proliferation... I'm talking about issues where there was clear partisan deadlock. When has Obama crossed that line and worked with the GOP? The answer is, he hasn't.

What is better than an A+? Best speech I've ever seen!

An A++++++++++++++++.

He was brilliant tonight. Can't wait to have a President who can intelligently put two words together - something we've lacked for 8 years.
