Obama's DNC Speech Was It A Slam Dunk?  | | | | I suppose a lot of folks here at this site watched Barack Obama make his speech tonight,I see few are speaking much about this tonight so maybe tomorrow. Barack Obama many times in his speech of course degraded John McCain it boiled down to John McCain has not done much right in twenty-six years as a United States senator. Some people have said Barack Obama thinks the American people are kind of stupid,I can not tell you what the man thinks,but I trust he may be counting on his vast followers to not goggle information to know if in fact Barack Obama was speaking truth. Barack Obama has forever put out there John McCain is a George W. Bush and the democrats can not stand another George W. Bush,Hillary Clinton chants no way hoza no McCain,that was very cute,the DNC was a four night event telling us how awful everything is and none what so ever is their fault they are the good guys. George W.Bush so fondly call his twin John McCain has in fact opposed George W. Bush many,many times but the democrats would just like to forget all of that because they want to get elected in to office so this is easy to understand. But the truth is John McCain opposed both Barack Obama and George W. Bush on the surge,John McCain was right,Barack Obama and George W. Bush was dead wrong. John McCain opposed George W. Bush on water boarding,enron,global warming,tax cuts,illegal emigration,campaign reform,McCain-Finegold,and John McCain and Lieberman have a state of the art energy independences bill,this is the short list. They love to degrade John Mccain saying he has so many houses he lost track of how many houses he even has. The truth is John McCain was asked by an interviewer how many houses do you and your "WIFE" owe,John McCain said I will have to get back to you on that,rich people often don't own joinly,Barack Obama had his attacked add out with in three hours,John McCain was gave no time by Barack Obama even to get back to the interviewer let alone leave the building. Barack Obama came out with his Saddleback church add saying John McCain said being rich is five million dollars. The question by pastor Rich Warren was what is rich to you,John Mccain answered the question,rich to me is having a home,education and a job that you like this is rich to me. The pastor fished for a amount John McCain said oh I don't know five million. John McCain gave a slight smile and said I will catch hell for saying that tomorrow. He was so right all over t.V. was Barack Obam's attacked add John McCain has so much money he thinks being rich is having five million dollars. That is not what John McCain said in answering the question,he said being rich to him is having a home,education and an a job that you like,this is rich to me. The five million was only a silly joke and most people realized that seeing John McCain smile then saying I'm going to catch hell tomorrow for saying that tomorrow,and so it was. Next day after the Saddleback interview people was saying John McCain knew the questions before hand he was called a cheater,well back to the five million dollars,guess he did not know that in advanced be your biddy he wish he had saw that coming at him. I realize Barack Obama really has so little to degrade John McCain over he comes out with his only half truth adds about what John McCain actually says. Barack Obama may get all the votes with his lies sadly,he may get his votes telling black people and the disable and poor all he is going to do for them, but it is more of the same like untrue Obama adds he puts out their to get votes and that is the only way he will be able to get the votes false promises it is a very old-old political trick and sad it is so powerful even in the 21 century people buy in to the lie. In my opinion Barack Obama tonight attached John McCain way to much,it would had served him better to say one-two things and leave it at that,old saying fire bullets you get the same in return. John McCain has a very outstanding record on his service to his country and his 26 year senate record it is not wise to say John Mccain is McBush because his vote record shows that is just is not true. Barack Obama brought up Iraq in his speech of course that gets the vote from them that oppose the war. The fact is it takes a 90% congress vote to invade Iraq and Barack Obama and Joe Biden both voted "YES" Obama backed out as soon as it was getting unpopular,Joe Biden did not he stayed true to his yes vote,voting right along side John McCain and George W. Bush. Well the last night at the DNC was just awesome Barack Obama speech was as most know it would be very well scripted,it is very sad to me that Obama has to put in so many lies and degrading people,this in part is why he has lost my vote. So what's your opinion was Barack Obama's DNC a slam dunk for him? | | | | | | | | | | AARP® Auto Insurance Over 50? Save Avg $357* On Auto Insurance From AARP®& The Hartford. AARP.TheHartford.com

| | Obama is delusional. He thinks he is going to cut everyone's taxes. Who is going to approve his ideas? I think it is a shame that he knows he can't do what he says. It is impossible. There will not be enough money to cut taxes and have free health care. His plan is to raise taxes to pay for "free" health care. At least McCain isn't spreading lies. | | | | | | | kennyrose (5047)

| | Your right on the money,sad thing his delusional followers may win him this election,at the end of his DNC tonight he said he intends to win this race. A disable gal told me tonight she is voting for Obama because he will give her the help she needs. I told I could see she bought in to the dreams and warned her she will be very disappointed. This is now he is getting them the black people most will vote for him cause of race, the poor and disable cause they need something in life and they buy his B.S. and the scary part is he may just get it. Obama speech was nothing but lies and running down John McCain he over did it on trashing Bush and McCain tonight way over the top and may bite him in the butt. Listening to him you would believe nothing is right in this country and he and his party can fix just about everything that is wrong. He is cutting 95% for the lower paid and rising the rich up to 49-50%,well I can just hope he don't win this election if we think we are bad off now it will be hell under Barack Obama for four years. I have no complaints about 8 years of Bush he has keep us safe and far as Obama I don't feel I would be safe he has way to many bad guys as his pals. Take Care ! | | | | Angra_Mainyu (219)

| | I have to disagree with your statement about Bush keeping us safe. If billions of dollars worth of drugs can enter our country then anything else could too. Just consider us lucky that it hasn't happened. | | | | | | | AARP® Auto Insurance Over 50? Save Avg $357* On Auto Insurance From AARP® & The Hartford. AARP.TheHartford.com | add comment | | | |

| | There's no doubt the sermon was a hit with the choir. but as to swaying more undecided, well, that remains to be seen. I really didn't hear anything different. It was the same macaroni and cheese, only this time, served on sliver platters. Same messege, served amazingly flashier. I have to note, he, at some points sounded more conservative than some republicans. but I guess thats not suprising, it's just that it wasn't a little shift right, it was a pole vault to the right. | | | | | | | | | | Romney/Santorum Follow the latest campaign 2012 events on C-SPAN and C-SPAN.org. www.c-span.org/Campaign2012/ | add comment | | | |

| | I know I'm not going to get anywhere with responding to you Kenny, but what the hey, I'm feeling peppy this morning. Obama gave a wonderful speech, and I for one and very proud of it and of him. I have noticed this is a no win situation with people like you, if Obama would've came out with a lilting uplifting speech it would have been all rhetoric, he comes out and addresses the issues in a serious way and he's "degrading" John McCain. I didn't hear him degrade McCain, I heard him say that we owe him our respect and gratitude for his service to our country, what I did hear was him say he disagreed with McCains politics.I compare it to how I feel about my father in law. He lost half a lung in Vietnam after 4 tours of duty, still has shrapnel in his side, and served as a police officer for 35 years. To me he embodies love of country. But I never agreed with his political standings, until this year, when the picture of George W. came down from his den, and he told me he was proud that I was volunteering for Obama, and that he would not, for the first time in 40 years be voting Republican. Obama's speech was a slam dunk because he explained where he comes from, what his ideals are, and what he will do to help change this country. Yes, he defended himself, and rightfully so. John McCain has run attack ad after attack ad, trying to get the American voter to lose sight of the real issues. And I for one am proud to see a candidate finally take a higher ground, and return the focus on what really matters, NOT Britney Spears or Paris Hilton, but the economy and real people. | | | | | | | newtondak (2145)

| | By far, McCain has not been the only candidate running "attack ads". I have to agree with another poster who said that Obama is playing to those people that he thinks are not intelligent enough to research the things he says. | | | | OreoCookie3 (22470)

| | I haven't even been an Obama supporter, but he got my attention last night. Obama did say that McCain doesn't know what is going on here in America. He said something about McCain not knowing, rather than not caring. I've heard McCain give his digs into Obama too.. so it is tit for tat as far as I am concerned. I would like to see how this election pans out.. and either way Rep or Dem history will be made. Either we will have the first black president or the first woman vice president... so let's just pop the popcorn and see what happens. | | | | soccermom (1810)

| | Newtondak, you and I feel the same way about targeting people who don't do the research, only I haven't felt that way about Obama, I felt that way about Clinton during the primaries. She was the worst when it came to "smears". At least with McCain we haven't seen any "fear the muslim" chain mails! | | | | | | | Find Attorneys Need a Lawyer?

| | Just hold onto your seat, kennyrose, because the Presidential debates are coming up and there will be no teleprompters allowed. I will actually be watching those. We'll see what Obama is really made of when he is forced to wing it in a debate forum. As for John McCain, he is called a maverick because he is known for taking unpopular stands when he doesn't agree with his party's prevailing thoughts on an issue. Obama's attempt to say he is another President Bush is unfounded and it will be shown as the campaign progresses. Obama has shown, contrary to his "change" platform that he is politics as usual by choosing someone as entrenched in the democratic party as Joe Biden is, as his running mate. | | | | | | | kennyrose (5047)

| | Soccermom, I can't possibly agree with you other then Obama gave a good speech and he speaks very well with a teleprompter,his speech was very well scripted and it is a shame in my opinion Obama has to paint John McCain as George W. Bush,people outside of Barack Obama supporters know that is a lie and his record shows a much different picture. John McCain most people know fought Barack Obama and George W. Bush on the surge,Barack Obama and George W. Bush was dead wrong,John McCain was 100% right. John McCain has fought with George Bush on illegal emigration,tax cuts,Enron fighting for grantee pensions,global warming,water boarding,campaign reform this is just the short list,this is why John McCain has been labeled in Washington D.C. as the maverick and he is very proud to be one of the very few that are maverick's and by the way John McCain is number #1 maverick in Washington D.C.according to Washington D. C, itself,so any one trying to paint John McCain as George W. Bush just don't hold water. John McCain, staff put our the Brittney Spears add but Obama supporters at least at this site don't seem to understand the meaning,most people got it,Barack Obama stood in front of the Germans and he run down our country,one sore spot he said the United States has not perfected itself yet,this had very much upset many Americans. The Amerian people did not pay for Obama to perform he was sent to represent the United States of American. Millions of American's are upset that our country has been run down day after day by Barack Obama and his supporters and this was a large part of his speech last night,telling the American people all that is wrong with our country and running down John McCain and George W. Bush. Obama and Joe Biden was right their in Washington D.C. with George W. Bush,90 % of congress voted to invade Iraq,guess what Barack Obama and Joe Biden "yes vote" was a part of the 90% of congress that voted "YES"on Iraq. Barack Obama is the one that has attacked John McCain the don't remember how many houses he has,five million dollars is rich,this was dirty polities and if listening John McCain said when asked what is rich to you,John McCain said rich to me is having a home,education,and a job that you like,to me this is rich. How many houses do you and your wife owe? John McCain said I will get back to you on that,rich people most often do not hold joint property,Barack Obama with in three hours had his dirty add out claiming John McCain has so many house he don't know how many he has,that was a very dirty attack same with the others,John McCain had no time to even get out of the building before Obama had his attack add out,so your very wrong it is not John McCain running dishonest adds it is Barack Obama,for a new kid on the block he caught on fast to dirty polities. John McCain just a few hours ago announced his vise president choose Sarah Palin of Alaska,left wing liberal media such as MSNBC before Sarah Palin even came out on the stage was running her down this is just so disgusting and no wonder Fox News in the polls during the DNC all four days was the top viewed news media by millions. Yes,it is hard to have this discussions if Barck Obama supporters have to lie to have a discussion. I think many Americans are very disappointed that Barack Obama has run a dirty political game in the primaries and it will go on because he really has to keep the spot light off of him. There soon and already are John McCain's out I know Obama supporters will say they are all lies but the fact remains they are right on target as to Barack Obama really is. I respect your undieing support for Barack Obama it dose upset me that his supports spew lies they can not even back up but I suppose that is how some people do polities,I would prefer truth and the true facts and if something is pointed out to me that is truth about John McCain I'm always open to listen and check the information out. | | | | soccermom (1810)

| | Kenny, please tell me what lies I have told about McCain. That old argument is getting, well..old. I am by no means saying that Obama is perfect, I never have. What I have said is that my vote is going to him. I live in Illinois, and can tell you that for being a rookie politician this man really has his head on straight when it comes to the needs of the people. What I think is getting lost in all of this is that the president is not like a one man Army. In order for true change to take place there has to be support of the House and Senate, and we seem to be forgetting that. Sure the president can steer the ship, but there still has to be an engine behind it to keep it going on path. I just don't think McCain will chose the right paths. | | | | | | | Local Maps & Directions Check Out Local.com For Businesses & Information In Your Area! Local.com | add comment | | | |

| | Candidates like Obama that spent all their time attacking others and criticizing others - do so because they don't have any real platform of their own to promote. I think with the recent announcement of McCain's running mate as Sarah Palin, Obama doesn't stand a chance. | | | | | | | kennyrose (5047)

| | newtondak, Thank you for stepping up to the plate with honesty,I think out side of Barack Obama's supporters the American people know John McCain in truth and honesty can not be paint into another George W. Bush. John McCain has fought Washington D.C.and millions of us know John McCain will stand alone when he must stand alone and he will standing on his own two feet. Washington D. C. gave John McCain the nickname"MAVERICK"for a very good reason and he surely is stands up kind of guy. John McCain is his own man always has been and always will be for that matter. John McCain fought both Barack Obama and George W. Bush on the surge,Barack Obama and George W. Bush was dead wrong and John McCain was 110% right. Had it been left to either Barack Obama or George W. Bush,I will quote a admirals words,he said Barack Obama would not be walking the streets of Iraq as he is today had it not been for the surge. Barack Obama on the day this admiral was interviewed by Fox news was visiting Iraq just last month. John McCain had fought George W. Bush on water boarding which is torture,global warming,illegal emigrants,finegold,enron grantee penions,tax cuts,pork barel spend the democrat wrapped up in the veterans bill,John McCain fought the democrat's pet programs tucked inside that serve to only line their pockets,John McCain fought hard to get democrat's pork barrel spending out of the veterans bill. John McCain is very proud in his 26 years of service to the American people he has never once excepted pork barrel spending for his state and he very proud of this fact. Just like Governor Palin he sent a letter saying thanks but no thanks to congress. John McCain and Joe Liberman have the state of the arts energy bill,this is just the short list and John McCain in truth is the least in Washington D.C. like George W. Bush. John McCain did what Barack Obama refused to do put the one on his ticket that dose actually have experican Hillary Rodman Clinton instead he picked Joe Biden who has spend thirty years in Washington. Had Barack Obama had the experience he dose need he would not had to pick a old timer like Joe Biden in the first place. Obama and his supporters will say Sarah Palin has no experience to be president in truth this is no true she has gotten really big things done as the governor of Alaska including fighting big oil companies and special interest groups and she as been in Iraq as many times as Barack Obama,she understand the security of our country is most important and she don't come with a long list of anti-American's buddies and radical muslins from all around the world or even near to home,thank God!!!. Obama forfeited a big percentage of 18 million Clinton voters because he was to little of a person to put himself side and make this a real big historical event a black man and women on one ticket. John McCain gave the women of American his gift Sarah Palin governor of Alaska and to us that do know the issues are most thankful to our maverick senator John McCain. | | | | newtondak (2145)

| | I totally agree! I don't usually get too excited or involved in politics, but I find myself very interested and excited at the choice of Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate. I feel that she can and will bring a new perspective to the table that will be of benefit to the common people of our country. | | | | | | | Malia Obama Turns 13 A Life In The Limelight Inside Story On Obama Family TheGrio.com | add comment | | | |

| | hi so please do not minus me but I for one do not want four more years of Bush's clone McCain, I dislike the man and his policies, and as this is just my own opinion please respect my right to say what I feel. to me Obama is a fresh breath of clean air, and what did he do to McCain that McCain has done back. give it a rest. politicians politick, thats the nature of the beasts. I think a lot of you republicans are just too lazy to think for yourselves and let the party think for you. this is just my opinion and do not insult me for having one that is not yours. thank you. a democrat. | | | | | | | newtondak (2145)

| | Barack's speech was truly amazing and inspiring. Throughout the entire night, i saw people in tears, crying and being over taken with emotion. No one can ignore this and no one can deny that this man truly wants to change America. People keep saying that Obama still did not provide any substance, or how exactly he will do what he says. The fact of the matter is a candidate can say anything they want during the campaign season. It will be up to the Congress and the powers that be who will decide the types of legislation that gets passed. The American people must do their part by electing those who will support Barack and his plans for America. http://sumpter-masterplan.blogspot.com | | | | | | | | | | Campaign Materials Bumper stickers, t-shirts, posters, mugs and more.
