DNC: Obama Accepts

Nice!

An Incredibly moving speech that rang true and was very real . He offered real answers to REAl Problems we have .He offered Small Businesses a tax break as well as working class citizens . We need to rally behind a change and someone who will deliver change in Washington and is not part of the Political machine . he has some innovative ideas to stimulate business growth from the ground up .

I saw an intersting site that discussed some of these ideas as well at www.9stepsnow.com

Go Obama Go !!

The first duty of an elected leader, before their executive and ceremonial and diplomatic responsibilities, their very first duty is to speak on behalf of their electorate. If they mess that up, nothing else matters.

Obama does not sound like a moron; he does not sound like a wealthy, privileged, cosseted political scion; he doesn't sound like a hackneyed conman. He sounds like a president.

At the end of the speech Obama charges, "in the words of scripture," to "hold firmly, without waivering, to the hope that we confess."

Is he exhorting America to hold fast to the promise that is in the sacrifice of Christ Jesus? See Hebrews 10:19-23.

Any leader who confesses to be a Christian should be held to appropriate (and accurate) uses of scripture, at the least. This was not one of them.

How can you accuse someone of lying when you haven't even given them a chance... The Bush/Cheney cabal have had their chance and they have definitely proved themselves unworthy and been caught, blatantly, lying to the American people and to the world...

"The change doesn't come from Washington, it come to Washington."....the galant words of our next honorable president, Barrack Obama.

Sorry.. There was too much money involved. OBama cost the big corporations too much money. The people did not have the millions. Because of this OBama owes the big corporation and not the people OBama and Clinton and McCain made many millions on this elections and we are getting the same rhetoric, promises and lies. If OBama follows through on one single promise I will become a Democrat. In one hundred years of Washington the politicians have always lied one after the other. for two hundred years the politicians in Washington have lied and violated every treaty they have ever made beginning with the Indians in the 1700's and 1800's. Washington has shown a history of lies and that they have lied and robbed the Indians of the lands. So what; this is the 21st century and look where we are. There has been one lie after another. Korea, Viet Nam, Panama, and long before that Iran. What is different now? OBama? I for one dont believe it. I would not in all consciousness vote for McCain nor OBama. And I hope that I dont have to return here and say; "I told you so"

I thought this was great. I loved watching him speak and I was so amazed by how many people were there and how much this event means to everyone.

Are the republicans trying to give the election away? McCain is not ready to lead. McCain's choices are becoming poorer at every turn. How is McCain going to fix our economy...by offering more tax cuts? McCain's choice is trying to ignore the actual issues. He is trying to divert attention to the young lady. How is he going to fix anything though?

Drilling off the coast and offering more tax breaks for the wealthy are not the answer. Trickle down economics DO NOT WORK. Read my lips...THEY DO NOT WORK!

I used to be a staunch Hillary supporter and I actually cried during his speech. I am so happy with the Obama Biden ticket.

Obama reminds me so much of JFK, When elected all of America will find out why the democrats fell in
love with him. He's the optimism that America needs.

I will wait and see if the change comes. The democratic party has sat on their bottoms while Bush ran away with the country and the economy, now it time to elect and they make all kinds of promises. Why do we have to wait until next november for the party to function, why not now people are still dieing iraq. Impeach and indict.

This is so boring. Check out Palin.

Barack is a genuine statesman, who loves his country, its people and wants to do right by all of its citizens, especially those who have been cheated out of their livelyhoods for the last 8 years, the middle class.

retired Navy, what you've written above is pathetic and makes you look really ignorant... If you feel a need to appeal to your disallusioned buddies in this manner, you should think twice, because history is being made here and you are refusing to be a respectable part of it...open your closed mind and see from your blind eyes...

Barrack and Joe will do more for this country than anyone has in a very long time.

By making this poor attempt at character assasination you show the world that you have wasted the time you spent serving this great nation that we all love, defending it from those who would take away its freedoms and its civil rights, because those in this administration have done just that...they have squandered our honor...now we all just want to get our country back and Obama with Biden will serve us well in this endeavor...

Barack said it best... "it's not about me - it's about you"

here is a man that is attempting to give the government back to the people and out of the hands of major corporations and the financial district > and the common folks are still dogging him by saying that he's too young, or inexperienced. When you listen to him speak and realize that he writes his own speeches, like Clinton and JFK did, like FDR and Roosevelt, then you know right away that the grit and intelligence of this man is not a cloud or figment of someone's imagination.

Compare a Barack Obama speech to any of George W. Bush's mumblings and you will see a clear difference.

And for those that argue of inexperience... It takes an outsider to have an objective and clear view of the atrocities, corruption, and devestation of human values and ethics in Washington DC. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and this exactly why our founding fathers put term limits on the executive branch of our government.

can't believe it's actually happening

He's makin history!!
