Please, you don't know what an impressive speech is. I despise Jesse Jackson but his speech at the '84 Convention was ten times better than Obama's. Not that it helped Mondale much.

(OP) User ID: 46877 United States 08/28/2008 11:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It has taken me quite some time to sort through Obama's mystique, charisma, and speaking prowess, and I admit to a well-spring of hope in me. Much still needs to be done, however, and much will still need to be overcome. This was a very good step. You're welcome, Power. Well, I can't think of anything to criticize. Quoting: Power 475125It was a good speech, and if only one-tenth of what he said he would do gets done, he's worth a vote. I'm so very tired of hiddend agendas, the rich getting richer, and feeling like nothing more than a working machine to feed the tax man. Interesting... Poly, girl, I think we just got a re-do. We get another chance at life, a good life on earth. i"m tired of all the paranoia and doom, too. there are forces at work here. the real duality is not here or there, this or that. it is the seen and unseen. heaven and earth. it's been swell. thanks for the thread. |

Let some of what he said sink in and ask yourself if McCain could produce half the response Obama did. Then ask yourself if you believe a great future is in store for us if Obama wins. Do you really want more of the same as we've had for 8 years? gore had a better speech and got a 17 point bump. Obamas won't come near. Mccain is up starting tomorrow at high noon. Then monday with the first day of a real convention for adults. The people who will vote. Round 2 What is wrong with the last 8 years? Be specific. Start with unemployment and interest rates. How about the stock market? |

Let us keep that promise - that American promise - and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess." |
