Obama's acceptance speech thread! PLUS - Complete text of speech!

i think that obama basically practices primitive brainwashing....

every speech is a massage of the ego...subtle brainwashing...pleasuring the brain...

that's why you see people crying and swooning...he is crafting his speeches to have a euphoric effect on them...

don't think he doesn't know what he's doing...he's very smart....

but just because he's an effective self-marketer doesn't mean squat...

in fact, that only makes him more dangerous...because america is judging him on the wrong merits...

we shouldn't judge somebody by how well they can kiss our ass and massage our ego...

we shouldn't judge them by how they can reduce us to tears or fainting spells...

we should judge their words impartially and objectively....

and nobody's doing that with obama...

it's getting really late in this election..

he just might make it without scrutiny at all....

this is pretty worrying..

You don't have to like Bush to realize what Obama is. Socialism fails every time it is tried. Every. Time.

Didn't you listen, Person with a functional Brain?

Line item by line item Obama has said he will go through the budget and cut those failed programs and reconstituted those which are successful. That will save money.

Bringing our troops home and stopping the hemoragghing of tax dollars will bring BILLIONS of dollars here, at home, where they are needed.

Corporations will pay their fair share, unlike McCain wanting to give 4 BILLION DOLLARS in tax breaks to the oil companies and 400 BILLION DOLLARS in tax breaks to large corporations.

Time to get with a new program.

Time to give Obama a chance to change our country.

Polly, you seem like a sincere and nice person. The problem is, I DO listen. Additionally, I understand economics. Obama is a simple revisit of a very old saw. You cannot tax a country into prosperity. Your arguments about corporations and the taxes they pay are meaningless. Corporations do not pay taxes. I know, they file tax returns and pay huge sums to the government (you might want to look up the figure paid by the oil companies you hate so much sometime), but CONSUMERS pay those taxes. If you increase taxes on corporations, you accomplish 2 things: you drive them out of this country to more favorable tax environments, and you increase the cost to the comsumer for the products they create. McCain, I will grant you, is a terrible choice for POTUS, but Obama is dowright scary.

if you fuckin didnt like that speech and that man, you might as well just go suck some old wrinkled cock because your a fucking trailor trash cocksucker.. burn in hell because you think a man is going to be a good president because he was a P.O.W if anything it makes him less qualified because he probably has some serious fucking brain damage.. MCCAIN BLOWS , END OF STORY , OBAMA RULES ALL.. SO FUCKIN DEAL WITH IT BEFORE I CARVE YOU INTO MEAT CHUNKS WITH RAZORS AND HANG YOUR FAMILY ON MEAT HOOKS AND RAVAGE THEM WITH WHITE HOT METAL IN THEIR CAVES

I don't know about all the naysayers in this thread but I am ready for CHANGE, enough with the last 8 years running the country into the ground. Face it we can't keep going the way we are now, we have to turn this around and make America the shining beacon that it used to be. I am sick of ppl from other countries blaming we the people because of what the ones leading the country have done dragging our good name in the ground.

I was very impressed in Obama's speech, he provided though "meat and potatoes" for the ones who say he has no substance and hit the ground running ready to take on McCain and whatever the Repugs throw at him.

Plus everyone has to agree that the Democrats put on one helluva show. The statistics of that huge gathering of ppl and having everything run on time with no mishaps must have been staggering but they pulled it off.

I say, go Obama and don't stop until he votes are in and he has won the race. I drank the koolaid. Even if it's just for this one night I have some hope that things will turn around for all us down trodden....jmo

Yea so lets just give up

What would you let your kid join up to be a brainwashed killer for the corporate interests, the war profiteers, and the Israelis for anyway, Mom?
War is a racket.
Being a mercenary on-command killer pays better than bag-boy at walmart--is that it?
plus the signup bribe lets you drive a big shiny loud gashog pickup for a few weeks till they send you off to robotkiller camp.

No, what's scary is more years of war, torture, unending high gas prices, recession, declining home values, a lack of health care.

I could go on forever and you know it!

Yea so lets just give up

I was a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter. Not against, Obama, just for Hillary.
Well, allright. I'm impressed. I even got that catch in my throat, eyes teared up.

The revolution has begun.


Anyone have a hanky for Georgie and Dickie ? I didn't think so.

This was Marxism at it's finest. Obama promised to do every damn thing - bring world peace, solve global warming, get jobs for every single person, etc.- but wipe your ass! He thinks he is the hope of the world.

This was an example of mass psychosis, and mob mentality. If Obama would have told them to go out into the street tonight and start murdering people they would have.

I hope you all realize he got his point across in there about gun control while claiming to be able to implement this while preserving the rights of the second amendment.

WHAT did you read what you posted.

I am not an economist by any definition, but, we've "allowed" the status quo to be maintained from one generation to the next and what has happened?

The rich get richer.

The poor get poorer.

I know everything which costs a corporation is passed on to the consumer, but a change in laws has to be one of the first things done in a new administration. No more of this Clinton era stuff allowing American companies to basically move into foreign countries, no more outsourcing of jobs, no more off-shore accounts.

IF THEY ARE AMERICAN THEY AND THEIR MONEY STAYS IN AMERICA.

Truth be known, I'm not mentally, spiritually, or maybe even physically/intellectually prepared for a continuation of what we have had for the last 8 years.

McCain is the one who really scares me.

We have not tortured anyone. I consider waterboarding acceptable when you compare to our enemies beheading people.

NO, let's try something that works.

Your arguments about corporations and the taxes they pay are meaningless. Corporations do not pay taxes. I know, they file tax returns and pay huge sums to the government (you might want to look up the figure paid by the oil companies you hate so much sometime)



WHAT did you read what you posted.


I am not sure if you read it, but it is true.

Japanese soldiers were convicted of war crimes after World War II for waterboarding. Once upon a time it was unquestionably considered torture by our government.

And how low have we fallen when the best argument we have in favor of our country is that we're not as bad as our enemies?

The war in Iraq is almost over.. and we WON!!
Did he say anything positive about that..
