That was pretty boring.

I really don't see what's so attractive about this guy.

Are you kidding?!?! I'm no fan of Obama, but that was a VERY impressive speech! McCain could NEVER give a speech like that.

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.

Great Speech! (for a 'closet' globalist)

I guess the only real question is what flavor of globalism do you want.

You guys complain about everything, Who cares if they had fireworks, would it have been any different if it were balloons that came down? Would that have made you happy?

Re: Obama's acceptance speech thread! PLUS - Complete text of speech!
I believe you may be right, Power.

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.

It 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.

PAC, I disagree.

Obama's speech blazed with his apparent sincerity.

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.

Re: Obama's acceptance speech thread! PLUS - Complete text of speech!
I will be voting third party as always, but that was a brilliant, amazing speech. My favorite part was the part on the American spirit, the last paragraph was how he finished the speech-

"This country of ours has more wealth than any nation, but that's not what makes us rich. We have the most powerful military on Earth, but that's not what makes us strong. Our universities and our culture are the envy of the world, but that's not what keeps the world coming to our shores.

Instead, it is that American spirit - that American promise - that pushes us forward even when the path is uncertain; that binds us together in spite of our differences; that makes us fix our eye not on what is seen, but what is unseen, that better place around the bend. That promise is our greatest inheritance...

...At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. Let us keep that promise - that American promise - and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess."

You are correct.

His delivery was excellent!

It's the content that is the problem.

He promised too much.

You can't cut taxes, gov't programs, etc...

and then pay teachers more, give people scholarships, pay for their school, etc...

The money has to come from somewhere.

PAC, it's way too late in the evening for me to start with a long disseration of the foibles of the bush administration.

You are obviously an intelligent man, and you come to GLP to boot. You've read and heard the same complaints I have, so I know you must be informed unless you've chosen not to read about how people feel over this failed presidency.

Just think.

Just think what life COULD be like if Obama is sincere.
