In Montana, Obama Puts Finishing Touches on his Speech

As long as there’s a teleprompter, it will be a well delivered speech. Without the teleprompter, he’s pathetic.

I hope his speech is brilliant and moving and hits it out of the stadium because so far the televised event is a big snore. Warner is not bringing it. The applause is minimal and the commentators are becoming punchy and bringing this to a painful demise.
We need to see some substance on the real issues that separate the two candidates.
I don’t know why this is so slow to come to the issues, esp. after the campaign BO ran, the convention is not doing anything for his image.
I think those teleprompters are taking the immediacy out of what is being said. Previous conventions were rocking by now. Maybe the speakers were better
Hillary has her work cut out for her..but she will do it.

LOL! what a bunch of completely made up BS.
“he wrote it all down in one first draft on his laptop computer.”
vs.
“According to aides, he writes in longhand, pencil on legal paper, then types it out on his laptop.”
The Devil’s in the details… as they say…

Wow, another great human interest story! With so little of importance being decided in this election, this kind of stuff really helps pass the time.

What is McCain going to do after Clinton rips him to shreds tonight? Looks like he put all his eggs in the wrong basket; after all, he can’t exactly put her down after building her up all week.

Put this one in the speech.
McCain is a misogynist. Women
thinking of voting for him are
low information voters.

“According to aides, he writes in longhand, pencil on legal paper, then types it out on his laptop.”
how lame, how retro, he’s slow. guess he writes like he speaks, uh, uh, ah, uh, ah

“McCain is a misogynist. Women
thinking of voting for him are
low information voters.”
bet you like that “h”, oh yeah, bet you do.

Does CNN believe we have to elect one of their pundits or their anchors? I’ve been hearing them yapping, and yapping, and yapping, and yapping, and yapping, and yapping, and yapping, and yapping, and yapping, and yapping, and yapping, and yapping, and yapping, and yapping.
And than suddenly they say: “let’s listen in”.
And then, when it turns out to be about energy or global warming.
Oh, and in the background are some speakers too but I can’t hear them
I thought it was supposed to be about the speakers on the podium. Not about the yappers from CNN

If Senator Obama writes and gives the best ever political speech in history, it will not change the fact that he is the most corrupt, dishonest candidate ever to run for high office in the last 100 years. He can not and will not undo his lies and distortions by making PRETTY speeches. He is a fake and unfit for office.

Hillary: GREAT SPEECH.
Your struggles with these anklebiters will not have been in vain.

“HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN!!!
HILLARY 2012″
ditto. The dems. will learn that going against the will of the people (Hillary half million more votes)and engaging in voter fraud will have consequences.

For Senator Clinton to compare Senator McCain and President Bush as the same is like saying that Barack Obama, Tony Rezko and Bill Ayers all have the same values. The last three are certainly more alike than Bush and McCain.
If Obama wins the White House, our nation’s greatest values will be flushed down the toliet. He is so corrupt: he just wants the power. He cares nothing about you and me or or families. He is a socialist/communist/Marxist. Pretty speeches by Obama will not change that.

Chelsea Clinton told my friend in denver…That her mum wants to atleast be beaten by the winner! Not to lose to Obama and then have Mccain be president!
The democrats didnt go through all this only to lose!

Maybe Obama could use Sen. Bob Casey’s one liner from tonight.
“John McCain calls himself a maverick, but he votes with George Bush 90 percent of the time. That’s not a maverick. That’s a sidekick.”

To all Democrats, here’s a tip.
It’s not McSame. It’s McWorse.
Bush had the luck he started his 8 years when the country was at the peak of it’s wealth. People had a lot of ‘fat’ to live on and keep them going during these years.
The next president will start with huge debts, a country on the brink of collapse, and people stretched to their limit.
Four more years are not going to be the ‘Same’. It will be McWorse.

Has anyone seem the real Barrack Obama birth certificate or certificate of birth? The one posted by Obama was a BIG FAKE. There are two different sources who say that he was born in Kenya and this was verified by a birth certificate in Kenya and by Obama’s father’s brother. His lies are going to come home to roast.

Martin. Ask WorldNetDaily, Corsi’s employer.
Even they say the cert is ligit. And that says a lot, knowing WorldNetDaily.
Are you also a Thruther?

Even McCain said – in an ad payed for it by his own campaing and he personally approved it – that Hillary was speaking the truth.
I think people should listen to McCain telling people to listen to Hillary, don’t you?

Mary: Would you like to point out ten position on which George Bush and John McCain now differ? Five? Three?

Obama could not ever top Hillarys speech tonight… that was a presidential speech and she should be the nominee!

disambiguates
WRONG! yOU SEE THE GALLUP DAILY POLL… mCCAIN IS UP BY 2 PTS NOW… MORON… GOOD LUCK LOSING WITHOUT US!

To prepare he read from the acceptance speeches of former presidents like FDR, JFK, etc.
Sounds like more plagarism is in the works, people.
Be on the lookout……..for change you can Xerox………………………

E-lection rather than SE-lection!

since all mccain had to do to work for all those houses was cindy mccain, it figures all these paid mccain bloggers have so much time on their hands.

I just posted this on another blog– for anyone who missed it. I can’t believe they are going to do this.
He must be a rock star……
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s big speech on Thursday night will be delivered from an elaborate columned stage resembling a miniature Greek temple.
The stage, similar to structures used for rock concerts, has been set up at the 50-yard-line, the midpoint of Invesco Field, the stadium where the Denver Broncos’ National Football League team plays.
Some 80,000 supporters will see Obama appear from between plywood columns painted off-white, reminiscent of Washington’s Capitol building or even the White House, to accept the party’s nomination for president.
He will stride out to a raised platform to a podium that can be raised from beneath the floor.
Once Obama speaks, confetti will rain down on him and fireworks will be fired off from locations around the stadium wall.
What does he think this is — the Olympics??

Joe Klein:
So, I’m wondering how Barack Obama is going to deal with delivering his acceptance oration on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech. My guess is, his best course of action would be to use the King speech to push off from:
“Martin Luther King’s dream helped change a nation…but we’re at a different moment now. American families are facing some harsh realities. We can’t afford to dream about them, we need to solve them.”
My esteemed colleague David suggested that the line should be:
“King had a dream. I have a plan.”

“To prepare, he read the convention acceptance speeches of former Presidents Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, as well as less successful Democratic presidential nominees Vice President Al Gore and Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.”
So are we supposed to match the parts Obama plagarizes with the original speaker?

Democrats rumble against Republican Attack Machine! But unlike McCain’s team also present a postive message!
Last night as Hillary’s moment! Yes we heard her rally cry for Obama, herself and all of us Democrats, Republicans and Independents against a 3rd Bush term. Bill will come through tonight too. A lot is at stake here not just for Obama but for Biden, Hillary, Bill and all of us too. Biden’s rally cry will be equally compelling! The scrappy kid from Scranton will come through too. This convention will be remember as the one that represented us in our Time. Now it will be up to Obama in front of 75,000 supporters and millions of voters watching on TV to make the sale after traveling across America for the past year and half listening to the concerns of the voters. The energy will be electric in that stadium. The pundits and writers will feel it. We too will feel it just watching on TV. This will become America’s moment.
“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.”
Robert Kennedy
Obama/Biden ’08

The McCain team have done a brilliant job at preempting Obama’s Stadium speech.
The “entitled” narrative and “arrogant/empty suit” and “celebrity” narrative will ALL be reinforced handily by the Stadium Sized Temple of Obama.
Brilliant…

Obama – a noun, a verb, and an uh.

and Mike says that with no sense of irony!

Hoo-Ahh,
If you count ALL the people who pushed a lever with her name on it and ALL the people who pushed a lever with his name on it, SHE got the most votes by about 300,000.
So much for Democrats wanting ALL the votes counted.

one=on. oops.

“If Senator Obama writes and gives the best ever political speech in history, it will not change the fact that he is the most corrupt, dishonest candidate ever to run for high office in the last 100 years. He can not and will not undo his lies and distortions by making PRETTY speeches. He is a fake and unfit for office.”

We have “moved on.”

Like I said before, we are “over it.”
Don’t believe it? Watch what happens on Election Day.
PUMA! Almost 10 million Voters – We will be at the polls with You!

LeeLee puma is done. Sure there are still some die hards left but not enough to make any real difference.

Ooops – “hugh” olive branch… should be “huge” olive branch…
PUMA!

I read Obama spent part of his vacation learning how to speak without a teleprompter.
It’s funny because he seems to get off on those lofty prepared speeches-but in reality he can’t think on his feet without stuttering and stammering, then saying something stupid.
More proof that Obama just isn’t what he pretends to be.
Hillary and Biden can’t help him on this one either.

“Barack Obama is my candidate,” she said. “And he must be our president.”
“I ran to stand up for all those who have been invisible to their Government for eight long years. Those are the reasons I ran for president and those are the reasons I support Barack Obama. And those are the reasons you should too.”
“I can’t wait to watch Barack Obama sign into law a health plan that covers every single American,” she said. “Barack Obama will end the war in Iraq responsibly and bring our troops home – a first step to repairing our alliances around the world.”-Senator Clinton

Let’s see, so you really think we are going to believe Obama is writing Thursday’s speech by himself? After Soros, corporate lobbyists, and the DNC have spent big money on him, they are just allowing him to type away in his room without regard for all the focus groups they have been questioning?
You are forgetting some things. Obama’s “Audacity of Hope” speech was based on a Reverend Wright sermon, and it has been published that Obama has ex-Kennedy speech writers at his beck and call. He did not write that speech himself, and there is no way he is writing Thursday’s speech alone in his room on a laptop since his campaign is all about marketing and selling a candidate. Everything is orchestrated for the biggest bang for the buck.
