This is for you rraley

I also admire the man Jimmy Carter became and I thought his speech was stirring. Assuming you're watching, how about Obama? Wow!

You could feel Obama's charisma.

For the brief time I endured Obama...
I caught nothing ut a recitation of the old Democratic "I feel your pain playbook"...sorta like this...

And I met a family of 9 living in a three room apartment who can't afford medicine for the 6 anemic kids....

And I talked with a woman who had been laid off by the winker-maker company because her job ended up going to Mexico and she can't survive with a 7.00/hr job.

and I met a transexual who bemoaned the lack of protection when she/it/he decided to take a job with the longshoreman.

And this pathetic plea was supposed to stir me? It disgusted me.

Unbelievable opposite of Kennedy: ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU....

I feel your pain Hessian - George Bush disgusts me every time he opens his mouth.

I am completely convinced that I listened to a future president speak last night when Barack Obama gave his speech. It was outstanding and whenever he decides to run, I'll jump right on his ship.

I think the decision to have Obama speak for Kerry was a huge mistake. Psychologically, without even realizing it...people all over the country were thinking Obama sure sounds alot like Osama.

WhoTF is Obama? I only caught some foriegn-speakin' chic in a red suit contradicting herself when she said her husband wouldn't trade America's sons and daughters for oil, then said this wonderful spectacle of soldiering earned his medals the old-fashioned way ... in Viet Nam of all places. Yea, cause that wasn't a controversial war at all or nuthin'.

I think he is a current State Senator from Ohio running for the US Senate, which BTW is a currently unopposed campiagn due to that clown that wanted his wife to perform sex acts in publc.

This has happened at least twice before to my recollection; in 1984, with Mario Cuomo, and in 1996 with Susan Molinari.

Oddly enough, the most boring speech given in recent memory was one given in 1988 by a man who bored so many delegates, the only applause he got was the roar that went up as he spoke the words "in conclusion".

That man was Bill Clinton.

I wouldn't put too much faith in convention speeches. They tend to have no connection with political reality.
