In Montana, Obama Puts Finishing Touches on his Speech

and Mike says that with no sense of irony!

Truth, a real christian does not accuse other people of not being a real christian.

Obama - a noun, a verb, and an uh.

Yes Sammy, the staging of this already has me rolling my eyes. I've never seen an ego that needs as much stroking as Obama's!

Too bad for him it's all for naught. America has serious doubts about Obama's readiness to lead and radical views. The revelations of the coming weeks will not endear Undecideds to Barack Obama.

The McCain team have done a brilliant job at preempting Obama's Stadium speech.

The "entitled" narrative and "arrogant/empty suit" and "celebrity" narrative will ALL be reinforced handily by the Stadium Sized Temple of Obama.

Brilliant...

Regardless of what he says Obama is not going to increase his popularity. People know that, in the end, he is not a true patriot, and this flaw is fatal to his election.

Don't believe me about his patriotism? Try this test and you will see.

Imagine that either Obama or McCain is the president. One day the president MUST make a decision to either save America and let the rest of the world perish, or save the rest of the world and let America perish.

I have no doubt that McCain would immediately decide to save America, even if every other man woman and child in the world must die.

What would Obama decide in this situation? I do not know.

If I have no doubts that McCain will always put America first, then I have no doubts about his patriotism, and I have no doubts that his first instinct will be to keep me safe.

If I do not have a gut feeling about Obama would do then I question his patriotism. I have to assume I am safer under a McCain presidency than an Obama regime.

Now, it is unlikely that the fate of the entire world will depend on a single decision of any president. However, during his term a president will make thousands of little decisions as to whether to put the interests of America over those of other countries. The future of America depends on whether the president decides in favor of America over the interests of other countries.

Democrats rumble against Republican Attack Machine! But unlike McCain's team also present a postive message!

Last night as Hillary's moment! Yes we heard her rally cry for Obama, herself and all of us Democrats, Republicans and Independents against a 3rd Bush term. Bill will come through tonight too. A lot is at stake here not just for Obama but for Biden, Hillary, Bill and all of us too. Biden's rally cry will be equally compelling! The scrappy kid from Scranton will come through too. This convention will be remember as the one that represented us in our Time. Now it will be up to Obama in front of 75,000 supporters and millions of voters watching on TV to make the sale after traveling across America for the past year and half listening to the concerns of the voters. The energy will be electric in that stadium. The pundits and writers will feel it. We too will feel it just watching on TV. This will become America's moment.

“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.”
Robert Kennedy

Obama/Biden '08

"No matter how pretty a speach Obama will give, he is still not a real Christian and will not get my vote. A real Christian would not have opposed the bill which would protect the baby who is alive after abortion which is the right he supports."

And yet you will support a candidate who supported an unnecessary war. How many "born" children, "born" women, "born" men have died as a result? We have lost over 4000 of our finest young men and women in Iraq, which McCain cheerleaded and voted for from the McCain.

I watch clip after clip of young married women and men who are now widowed, and struggling to find their bearings in a world that suddenly doesn't make sense, due to McCain's warmongering.

Do you think this is "Christian"? Which war would Jesus support?

I think it disingenuous in the extreme to paint Obama as unchristian due to his views on abortion, while neglecting the imperialistic belligerence of John McCain.

Time for you to go back to the bible, read it, pray over it, and frankly repent.

"To prepare, he read the convention acceptance speeches of former Presidents Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, as well as less successful Democratic presidential nominees Vice President Al Gore and Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass."

So are we supposed to match the parts Obama plagarizes with the original speaker?

No matter how pretty a speach Obama will give, he is still not a real Christian and will not get my vote. A real Christian would not have opposed the bill which would protect the baby who is alive after abortion which is the right he supports.

Joe Klein:

So, I'm wondering how Barack Obama is going to deal with delivering his acceptance oration on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech. My guess is, his best course of action would be to use the King speech to push off from:

"Martin Luther King's dream helped change a nation...but we're at a different moment now. American families are facing some harsh realities. We can't afford to dream about them, we need to solve them."

My esteemed colleague David suggested that the line should be:

"King had a dream. I have a plan."

Joe Biden's speech was going to start out "Four Score and ..." but someone told him that it had been used already.

I just posted this on another blog-- for anyone who missed it. I can't believe they are going to do this.

He must be a rock star......

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's big speech on Thursday night will be delivered from an elaborate columned stage resembling a miniature Greek temple.

The stage, similar to structures used for rock concerts, has been set up at the 50-yard-line, the midpoint of Invesco Field, the stadium where the Denver Broncos' National Football League team plays.

Some 80,000 supporters will see Obama appear from between plywood columns painted off-white, reminiscent of Washington's Capitol building or even the White House, to accept the party's nomination for president.

He will stride out to a raised platform to a podium that can be raised from beneath the floor.

Once Obama speaks, confetti will rain down on him and fireworks will be fired off from locations around the stadium wall.

What does he think this is --- the Olympics??

disambiguates is a republican! how dumb are some people no obama supporters are attacking hillary!

since all mccain had to do to work for all those houses was cindy mccain, it figures all these paid mccain bloggers have so much time on their hands.

How could she NOT have been the nominee!

It just proves how broken the DNC has become!

COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY!

E-lection rather than SE-lection!

ChrisNBama-

It might be Mark Salter writing McCain's speech since he already wrote McCain's two autobiographies.

To prepare he read from the acceptance speeches of former presidents like FDR, JFK, etc.

Sounds like more plagarism is in the works, people.

Be on the lookout........for change you can Xerox...........................

You cant dismiss people that were around before the computer generation...you will not run the country alone you cant have it and you will need us!
