Michelle Obama’s Speech: I = You

For the 2nd time in her adult life, Michelle is proud of America!

As a Hillary supporter I can’t be more pleased with her speech tonight. As much as I wanted Hillary to win, Michelle Obama reinforced why I’m a democrat and why I’m voting Obama. She nearly left me in tears.

Mean and Angry.

Great speech! Fantastic Family.

It was a pretty good speech I thought. Still, it lacked both the substance and the passion that I was thinking might be there. Maybe too much to ask for in one speech. At least I don’t think it did any harm to his campaign.
I don’t think many could argue that it was refreshing to see a young, nuclear family out there. Probably haven’t seen that since JFK.

you repubs try too hard… all your replys and false lies are what is transparent…
everyone knows exactly what michelle obama is now…
home run good lady home run!

Grand ole party
I reacted more to Obama talking to his kids on the satilite thing and not as much from Michelles speech which says something

Only a cynic, one who wanted to hate the speech, could come away with a negative view.

She is stunning and a wonderful and effective speaker. She will make a wonderful first lady.

Didn’t Obama say he was in St. Louis? Must of forgot to bring his teleprompter. His cute little daughter gave him a chance to correct himself – he was in Kansas City.
Does he know where he is?
Does he know how many states there are?
This was a was a little too “staged”.

Like I said on another thread, even the liberal newsgal on Fox News panel wasn’t too impressed with the speech.
Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
Let’s face it, Michelle could get on the ground and kiss a flag and it still wouldn’t erase her past speeches.

Beautiful, touching speech by Mrs Obama. She will be an excellent First Lady!

i thought it was a great speech about the way we can help our children see a better life by coming together and doing what we can now.. just like hillary’s speech about the cracks in the glass! Every time you reach for a better tomorrow you make it easier for your children to take it a step further.
maybe by the time my grandchildren are adults they will see a better america with people who love not hate, help and not turn away from others in need, peace and not war! who will learn from our mistakes and not repeat them!!! i sure hope so.

Gracie – people like you find anything they can to be negative about! oh my he miss-spoke about where he was! big deal
he has been travailing to alot of city’s if you havent noticed… and of course its staged you dont think he accidentally ended up on a screen on the wall , do you? or his wife and kids just stopped at the convention to use the bathroom and were thrown on t.v.? lol

Okay, her speech was well delivered, she looked stunning, however, it was not a homerun.
Two cliches about Hill and Biden and much on her family, although I thought her mother deserved more credit than she recieved.
I am not sure it will resonate wiht middle america.

Michelle talks about leaving a powerful job for a “career in public service” — her current job as a $300k per year director of community relations for a hospital? That’s public service? She works for a private entity. How is that public service?

Melissa, I have gone to church all my life and I can honestly say, without a doubt, that we have never had not discussed a “Black (or white) Value System”

check it out.
Trinity United Church of Christ Black Value System
perform a little thought experiment. Imagine the candidate is white and substitute “white” for “black” while reading that “Value” system.
How does it sound?

Wow – excellent job Michelle.

melissa
No matter how much you liked the church would you belong to it if it said this on its website;
“The highest level of achievement for any White person must be a contribution of strength and continuity of the White Community.”

also its not a stereo-type i have gone to church! not a jewish church, because im not jewish but i have gone to catholic and christian churches and even tho i think some things they say are vile or mean i dont stand up and demand he take it back!

Sammy:
You’re not so stupid to understand that there is a school of thought that blacks have to rebuild their social infrastructure to help lift as many as their friends and neighbors to live the values that you and yours live.
It is all about taking responsibility for your actions mixed with the social message that you have to help raise up your brothers and sisters. Are you your brother’s keeper? They feel they are.
How can you really be against that?
Obama’s so normal and Republican in his work ethic that it makes rote Republicans crazy.

What are we talking about here – the Democratic National Convention – pure politics equals manipulation to some extent. Michele did a great job w/the speech – however her speech has nothing to do with Obama’s qualifications to lead this country. I am confident that Obama’s speech will be a great one, and equally confident that he will be unfairly criticised for being a great orator w/little substance/experience. Would he receive more praise if his speech turned out to be a dud? Remember John Kennedy and his level of experience???
Ted Kennedy’s appearance was not stagecraft – it was genuine – the highlight of the first night.
Bottom line – we cannot afford to continue on the same path that we have been on for the past 8 years. PERIOD. So hopefully, this convention will heal the rift between the Clinton and Obama supporters to create the necessary force with which to beat McCain.

Which Michelle shall we believe in? The one who said – America is mean country or the one who said for the first time I am proud of this country (when Obama took the lead in delegates) or the one who said today that she loves this country (out of political expediency)?

melissa….did you ever sit in a church and hear hatred towards any groups of people and blame for their situation…Whites, Jews, damning our Country with profanity and simulating sex (Bill “ridin” us). NEVER in any church do most Americans hear that stuff from their “old uncle mentor friend” Wright. Sorry if that’s a deal breaker for millions of Amerians.
Plus his rootless allegiances….COUNTRY FIRST McCAIN!

im still waiting for how this is my fault or maybean im sorry?!

what makes you think I hate them. I don’t.
I don’t respect them because they’re pretending to be something they are not. They’re fairly typical hard left progressives. That’s allowed. But they’re pretending to be middle-of-the road mainstream and they are not.

Does it really matter if the speech good or not?
we are not electing a good orator or good MC.
Those things can be faked.

melissa, surely
but if McCain started his career in the living room of a his friend, a radical anti-abortion terrorist bomber and went to a church which had as a “value” the “continuity of the White Race” I think it would rightly be held against him. I dont’ think he’d be considered in the mainstream.

nothing like that melissa.
I am afraid he’s Carter II trying to masquerade as JFK.
He’s way more radical than he’s letting on. And he’s pulling the wool over people’s eyes.

okay thats possible. what do you think his hidden agenda is? and why do you feel this way other than the church and ayers.
cause mccain has been seen with some pretty scary people too! if you know what i mean.
plus his way of joking makes me want to vomit!

“Only a cynic, one who wanted to hate the speech, could come away with a negative view.” serioiusly. she did a good job and got the convention off on a good note.
as far as her raise goes, the person that hired her said that was the going rate for the position she was promoted to. don’t act like michelle obama is the only person to use her smarts and contacts to advance their career. W Bush, McCain etc. these are not working class folks that relate to average americans.

It is borders the line of self–righteousness — We are the ones the tell you what are the best for you.
The Obamas are so fake.

this will backfire on Obama bigtime.
Even if the ad gets pulled its censorship will be discussed in the press and people who haven’t see it will wonder what was so bad about it that he sued to have it removed.

This speech did nothing for me, am still waiting to get the message I don’t think she would of stood there and told us about the bad things of Obama would she.
So all who are jumping for joy over this speech, its the man wife giving a speech about him what did you expect her to say?
Geez you mean some of you people can fall for this kind of nonsense so easily?

Well, for those of us who did not go to private prep schools, and did not go to Ivy League schools (the same ones our daddys went to) – her story is our story. My Dad was blue collar too – not a rich doctor – and he raised us to understand that our word was our bond and that we were meant to be all that we could be and then to give back. So Michelle Obama’s story may not be your story – and I don’t know what’s its like to grow up on the south side of Chicago – but her story is my story. And it was a beautiful, honest speech – one that most reporters recognize.

Allen Wilson – I am also pretty sure that Michelle Obama did not lie about Mother Teresa – as reported by the Christian Science Monitor this week – a paper not known for sensational reporting.

amy not unlike the pow story of mccain? come on it may be redundant and yes when you have already heard it then it boarders annoyance but they all do it!

mccain said he wasnt always proud of america and on tv for the enemy said so! NEXT

I guess the American hating wife of Obama wants to make speeches to

Magnificent Michelle!

I loved Michelle and her speech, but she lost me when she said her husbands word is his bond. He’s a flip flopper is he not?
She said he did so much in the state sentate and did so much as a community organzier, but the record is clear – he didn;t do anything, His volunteers are trained to say “well that’s what we like about him” when any potential voters bring up his lack of accomplishments. If she hadn’t said his word is his bond – she might have been ok – but what politician’s word is their bond? Unfortunately, I’ve dtermined that Obama changes his promises more easily than most.

It’s too bad Michelle lost her father, I would rather vote for him.

Michelle was on her best Behavior tonight, or she was stoned.
The poor obama’s who both went to private schools as children, then on to ivy league colleges.
Who affirmitive action student loans took so long to pay off.
Who stuggled to get their daughters 10 grand worth of piano lessons and sports.
Who got the Rezko’s who had little income to assist in the purchasing of their home.
*plays the violin*
You bet all the new entitlement programs will read “African American and minorities”
Which is not right.
Everything should be written US Citizen only.
Did Mr Obama Renounce his US Citizenship when he told the world, he was a “Citizen of the World”

Too bad she probably still hates America from behind that fake smile. Or it could be her real smile, knowing how she scammed her way into a cushy, high paying job for doing nothing. Like husband like wife.

I cried for the first time since the political season started. Her speech touched me to the core of my sole. I felt a true American speaking and I could very much identify her. From now on I will do anything in my power to help her husband get elected because I believe more than ever that this is the kind of change we can believe in. And all the people who criticize this speech, it shows you actually took the time to sit, watch and listen, and i congratulate you for that because if you were so sure your candidate McCain was 100% reliable, you wouldn’t bother be looking somewhere else.

I am so proud to be American. I sat in front of my TV with my children watching Michelle deliver a speech. And I could see through their fascination that we, as a nation, have come from a long way indeed. This DNC is not a celebration of Obama only but of what our deepest values. Obama got here because of the faith we have invested in each others and I am so proud of his wife, Michelle Obama, who has silenced all critics who thought she was not patriotic enough. Not only does her story embody the very essence of patriotism, but her dreams for her children and our chilren, shows it even more. I am thankful to be American and more importantly I am thankful to have cocitizens like many of you who are making this experience possible for my family and your families. Thank you.

Thank you Michelle, thank you thank you!!! What an inspiration you are for our daughters! what an inspiration!

To Rlamb,
Any person who knows history, American or that of anything else, will say there are many things to be proud of, and many not to be proud of.
Is there anyone proud of the American record of denying the vote to African Americans in (most of) the Southeast for nearly 100 years?
Is there anyone who is NOT proud of America’s magnificent record in (most of) the Second World War and in (most of) the Cold War?
Life and history are complex. No one can be proud of everything in a history
if they actually know that history.

Alex wrote:Michelle is an admirable woman I look forward to seeing at the White House!
Amen to that.

Beautiful family, hansom man with great charm. Only in America do the party nominate, out of 8 potentials at that first TV-debate, the person with no plan for universal health-care.
Obama represents everything that’s wrong with America. He’s Bush over again. The candidate you like vs. the best candidate.
It looks like Dems are going for the political theater, muscleing the minority. Are voters making the same mistake this time, after 8 years.
I hope not!

I don’t want to have lunch with Obama or Michelle.
Neither one is not like me. They’re both scary.
Obama hopes the Americans are sleeping.
So does Michelle.
All of a sudden, Michelle loves this country now that Obama stole the primaries.
Obama is a disgrace. He’s embarrassing.
What is wrong with the media.
What are they afraid of.
Examine and report on Obama. The media should for all presidential candidates.
Obama’s HOPE message is that he can pull this off
He keeps changing his mind……..that’s his CHANGE message.
Rezko the criminal.
Ayers the domestic terrorist.
Reverend Wright the racist.
Obama for President?
Wake up Democrats! Wake up America!
Run from any presidential candidate with Obama’s connections.

any american can make a great speech. There are so many wonderful stories in america. OK it’s fine that Michelle’s can be singled out for one night. But the question is can her husband lead. And I don’t think he’s ready yet to lead this country.

No matter what you think of the Obama’s and how you may feel. Michelle’s speech was not only eloquent, but it was something that many working people can relate to. Not to mention that, although she could be an elitsit and command a salary as an attorney, she chose to do public service and give back to the youth. There are acouple of facts that can’t be disputed. Bush’s adminstration has spent more than any other in history, and gas is has been and continues to be higher than ever before, so anyone that speaks of changing that and helping people that have to be resourceful to keep their Only home, and not seven, can get my support.

not going to vote obama
GO MCCAIN
PUMA

Michelle was very pretty tonight but she lost me on many fronts:
she said she left a law firm to be community ogranizer too?? she is getting paid $300,000 in a hospital
She said Obam did so much in the state sentate and did so much as a community organzier..ok, but what was the results, in the senate there Obama vote “present” for 100 times…so it’s his records that are the problem and scary. HE DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO SHOW.
I WANT TO VOTE FOR HIM, BUT I CAN NOT VOTE FOR JUST “CHANGE” AND “HOPE”..I NEED MORE

…not to mention the fact that she is so HOT!

Michelle connected with nobody. She was reading a script just her husband. off the cuff she is angry racist and bitter. They gave her makeup and lighting to make her appear lighter skinned than she is too.

Jamie Allman on 97.1 FM on St. Louis, MO is at the convention in Denver. He reported this morning that, although the television cameras did not show it, there were delegates walking out during Michelle Obama’s speech last night, while others sat with their arms crossed and refused to clap when the rest of the audience. He said the tension is “palpable” between the Hillary and Obama supporters. He followed one of the female delegates who walked out during Michelle’s speech, and she agreed to talk to him. I don’t know if it was on the record or not – he did not identify her by name. She said that it was not only Republicans who were insulted by Michelle Obama’s statements about not being proud of her country. Many Democrats were insulted, too. She said that in her opinion, the Democratic Party was not united, and she didn’t expect it to be.

Giving speeches is not where it is at people. Honesty, truthfulness, straightforwardness—-learned nothing from Ms Obama last night. They dressed her so she looked perky. Disappointed. The children echo a close family, but like John Edwards family and kids this means nothing. The public is interested in policies…what is going to be the change.

Her speech was a slap in the face to hard working americans.

Did Michelle explain why she exposed her impressionalbe daughters to a racist hate-filled preacher every Sunday of their short lives?
DIDN’T THINK SO.

The Democrats demonstrate that they care for those less fortunate. I would love to have John McCain’s healthcare plan, bank account and at least one of his nine properties, but I don’t. If he’s elected, I fear that I may not be able to hold on to what little I do have. That is why I support the Obama/Biden ticket. They know what it’s like to struggle and they empathize with those of us who do.

Seeing the Democrats and their families gathered together last night renewed my hope that America will get it right for the first time since Bill Clinton’s presidency. I am excited knowing that we will have another Democrat in the White House.

for all you bringing up Michelles hospital admin job…she only worked there and earned that for a few years…she didn’t graduate and step right into that job for goodness sakes

The American story is about equality for all. It is about each of us having the same opportunity despite our religion, race or financial status. The Obama/Biden ticket is truly the story of America. That is why they will have my vote in November. It is time for all of us, not just the privileged few, to have the opportunity to realize our dreams. That is why I am a democrat and that is why I will vote for the full democratic ticket in November.

Kim,
Ypu actually believe Michlle Obama wrote that speech herself. I’ve seen her thesis. She did not write the speech.

I sense the fear coming from the republicans here. Yes Michelle did great last night and possible won Obama the womens vote.

How could that all-American family have such shady associates in Chicago?
As Michelle spoke I kept thinking-but why stay in that intolerant, radical church for so long?
Michelle looked great and told a touching story about her parents.
The stuff about Barack was just her usual stump speech.
I felt sorry for the Obama kids–for what they will be exposed to, for the normal life they will never have if their dad is elected, for the chance some nut might shoot their dad or them.
Michelle was great but she can’t give her husband the experience or the qualifications to run this country.
McCain08

That was a very racist and socialist speech, it sounded as if Stalin’s wife wrote the speech!
How will we pay for everything she is promising Obama will deliver?
My sister and my brother!!
Did not Obama state just speeches, just words?
The democrats are hypocrits they condemn corporations but yet went to 141 corporations for 50 millions dollars for the convention so thay can have caviar!!
Elitists!!

It is great to be a democrat today! The electricity is in the air. We can look forward to next year because we know that the democrats will sweep the House, Senate and White House. We can finally look forward to a viable healthcare plan—The new New Deal is just around the cornier. Help is on the way and the dream lives on!

decentAmerican
Michelle’s exactl comment was “For the first time in my adult life I’m proud of America”. They had been repeatedly told by other that America would never vote for a black man. At least get the quote straight before you try to smear someone. Also, let me ask you, how proud of you of the way your current president hadled Katrina? Now, that idiot McCain had the nerve in a speech a few months ago to chastise Bush’s handling of Katrina but what the sleeze bag didn’t tell you was that at the time, Bush was delivering a cake to one of McCain’s house’s for his birthday party! Moron!

Hey, hey what can I say?
Things are finally going my way.
I feel spring in the air again
with the ticket of Obama/Biden.
Not a great rhyme but you get the point.
Obama/Biden 2008

It really puts a smile on face to read all of your negative comments on how she looked, what she said, and where she is in her life, because I KNOW that watching her last night stirred something in YOU.
Perhaps it led you to reflect on your life, what have YOU done ?
Beautiful, articulate, strong, inspiring, composed, loving, motherly, STRONG woman who would make, anyone, ANYONE proud.
We love you Michelle Obama, we believe.
Obama 08.

GOD BLESS THE OBAMA FAMILY AND THE BIDEN FAMILY…I AM SO PROUD RIGHT NOW, THAT I COULD CRY…

I read some of your blog here…sad to witness such hate from my country. As am American in Canada it’s shameful that people can be so hateful. Michelle’s speach was EXCELLENT. It’s obvious that those of you bashing her missed part of the message of the speach. Which is, if you didn’t like what she was saying, you had the CHOICE not to listen! That’s the America that allowed her a Black women from Southside to get to where she is…great mom, great wife and great christian; the America that allows those who want to be better the chance/choice to do so.

Michele will make for the finest First
Lady since Jackie Kennedy.

Obamamama, I think you are correct. If Michelle’s speech didnt reach certian people yesterday she was never gonna reach them. As I said before I am not an Obama fan but she gave a wondeful speech, whether or not I like her husband I know that she loves him and that she beleives in him, I dont think I can say that I think Cindy McCain thinks her husband can do the job.

It’s amazing to me that after eight years of pure misery – there’d be any question as to who to vote for in Novemeber. If the opposing candidate to four more years of a “Bushlike” administration wass Daffy Duck – he’d have my vote, it’s just the icing on the cake for me that it happens to be an articulate amd genuine Black American, who I and my children can look up to, Barack Obama. Michelle’s speech brought tears to my eyes. It is awesome to see that kind of love and support and what all of the McCain supporters seems to be missing is that that is exactly what this country needs – LOVE and SUPPORT. If they’re capable of that within their family, then that’s who I want running my country. Someone with a proven HEART, who won’t leave people stranded without food or water for days, who won’t send innocent young soldiers over to die in Iraq for a senseless war. I am looking forward to the CHANGE in rule – because I can;t take anymore of the BUSH way.
And one more thing, having opportunities (private school, instrumental lessons, college) doesn’t make you out of touch or mean your parents/family didn;t sacrifice and you didn’t struggle… I don’t come from money and for a lot of my younger years my mother pretty much raised me alone with the help of my grandmother and aunts and extended family. SHE SACRIFICED to send me to the finest schools, expose me to other cultures and musical instruments and classes. She went without new clothes and fancy cars so that I could have these opportunitues – but we were not rich. And that is the message that Michelle delivered last night. That she and Barack didn’t have the opportunities that they had without sacrifice. It wasn’t beacsue they were so rich they they attended those schools. It was because they had families that cared… but obviuously some of you are “too elite” to recognizw what that’s all about. I’m glad you McCain supporters “hated” her speech… that tell’s me how truly AWESOME, ELOQUENT, POWERFEUL, and CAPTIVATING she truly was.
GO OBAMA’S GO!

I’m Baracking Baby! you certainly are entitled to your opinions. However…
(1) You wrote: “Someone with a proven HEART, who won’t leave people stranded without food or water for days…” This is an obvious misunderstanding of the Katrina aftermath. First of all, it was the local government (i.e. Mayor Ray Nagin) who told the people to go to the Superdome and Convention Center and failed to provide food and water. In fact, these people were told they were on their own and should bring their own food and water. FEMA is not a first line responder. YET in spite of having only about 4,000 employees and being spread throughout the Gulf Coast, all of a sudden they were expected to fullfil the role of a first responder in New Orleans.
(2) You continued with: “…who won’t send innocent young soldiers over to die in Iraq for a senseless war.” Saddam Hussein refused for twelve years to comply with the conditions of the 1991 cease fire. So after 12 years of diplomatically trying to convince Saddam Hussein to comply, the UN Security Council finally gave their final ultimatum. BUT since they were not going to follow through on their ultimatum, President Bush offered his own. When Saddam Hussein still refused to comply with the conditions of the cease fire, President Bush rescinded the cease fire and resumed the 1991 Gulf War. If you recall, it was Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait that started the war in the first place.

What half way intelligent person listens to James Carvelle? He is an idiot! Are there any Americans out there with working brains? Why would you vote for a rich guy that is going to inact a draft to send your babies to war? What rational individual would vote to rewind time and progress? Only unintelligent individuals feed off of negativity. Smart people use their minds and vote the issues! My advice, pay attention to those attempting to tear down positive messages. The reason is they have nothing to offer of their own.
Obama/Biden 08-16!

I know war heors, and tey don’t tell their stories on national TV. i’m from AZ and if mccain does for the country what he did for is home state the rich will get richer and the poor will go fight needless wars for them.

Jake, One I=You – you’re right. You are not Michelle Obama. But that speech wasn’t aimed at people who went to private prep schools, the same Ivy League schools as their daddy’s went to and married money. It was aimed at regular Americans. Most Americans came from working class backgrounds – the same as the Obamas. Most people did not come from the entitled, wealthy, careless life shared by the McCains and a large portion of the national press under 50.

Michelle Speech was brilliant. The problem is that no matter how much you speak to the public the Republican and their so-call democrat (republican ) will find something negative to say.
Cindy McCain can not give a speech like that in a million years. Why don’t you (Republicans ) ever comment on Cindy McCain Speech?

To James Danley, you say that Iraq started the war in 1991? Was it with us or Kuwait?? And the only reason why we helped Kuwait is…..?? Oil. And Second, Bush/Cheney LIED to us about WMD (weapons of mass destruction) so we can invade (not liberate) Iraq for the oil. This current administration will go down in history as one (if not) the worst administration. If Obama becomes President, I’m sure he will do a great job, because being the 1st black president I know for sure he will not dissapoint. But if Mccain, who is aligned with Bush/Cheney wins this election, then I will be ashamed to call myself an American, because it would just tell me that this country does not care about anything, the enviroment, the working class, the poor etc.

So many negative comments on a wonderful speech. It seems that NO MATTER WHAT she said, some people would still find something bad to say about it. Is there ANYTHING that she could have said to impress the haters? They only listen to try to find flaws. But what I really don’t understand is how anyone who was for Hillary could possibly vote for McCain? I have been for Obama, but if he had lost the primary to Clinton I would vote for her for the better of the country. Their ideals are so similar while McCain is way off.

In spite of the fanatical Obama supporters illusion that disliking Barack and MIchele is blasphemy … and that Michele’s speech was so great … Many Americans saw her speech as a masquerade. Both Barack and Michele think they can cover up their own history of anti-American racist remarks and associations, simply by giving a few speeches to the contrary. Furthermore, it should be noted that in addition to Barack and Michelle choosing Jeremiah Wright as their mentor and spiritual advisor, for 20 years … they also subjected their two young daughters to the racist anti-American likes of Wright, Farrakhan, Pfleiger, Moss, etc.. This also does not jive with the all American family image the Obama’s are all of sudden trying so hard to portray for political gain.

I’m Baracking Baby!, the history books will be very kind to President Bush.
Our economy has taken some really hard hits during President Bush’s two terms: He inherited a recession; 9/11; the War on Terror (including the Battle of Iraq); corporate scandals; devastating hurricanes (2004-05); the slumping housing market; the subprime mortgage crisis, and subsequent tightening of credit; and the skyrocketing energy prices.
The 2001 Bush tax cuts turned around the 2000-01 recession. The combination of the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts greatly diminished the effect that 9/11 and the corporate scandals had on our economy. Then we actually had 54 consecutive months of job growth (an historical record) ending December 2007–as the effects of the triple whammy of the slumping housing market, the subprime mortgage crisis and skyrocketing energy prices caused the downturn in the economy. YET in spite of these latest hits to the economy, GDP actually grew the first two quarters of 2008. There have been 463,000 jobs lost in the first 7 months of the year and unemployment rate has jumped to 5.7%. BUT, historically 5.7% unemployment is a healthy number.
I contend that President Bush’s economic policies have gotten us through and limited the effects of these huge blows to our economy; and DID NOT cause the downturn.
Could things get worse? Yes, of course! Raising taxes, doing nothing to increase our supply of oil, not expanding nuclear power; implementing windfall profits taxes on the oil companies, and adding several new and very expensive entitlement programs–the Obama economic plan–WILL NOT help us turn the economy around.

This speech was just more political _ _.
Remember the old saying “you can take the girl out of the country(country meaning a hick), but you can’t take the country out of the girl”?
Well….we are what we are.

Gina: Your are so right in what you said about Obama and Michele. There is so much dirt in Obama’s background I can’t see how so many voter’s are drawn to him. It must be the speeches of the late JFK, RFK and MLK that he studied for the platform. I knew months back that he was using other’s. And he fooled the majority of the American public. Is he going to do all he said? I don’t think so. It is a gimmick to get elected but I am not falling for it. I am voting McCain. Hillary’s fundraisers are not donating to Obama they have already started donating to McCain and no doubt will swith their vote. If the majority of Hillary’s voter’s do the same, McCain will win the election. We just have to hope.

I’m Baracking Baby: If your electing a president, that leaves Obama out because he doesn’t have the capabilities to lead. Quote from Biden: Obama is not ready to be president. That’s why Obama will be the president in name only and Biden will be making the decisions. This is the highly educated Obama that people say is to intelligent. And if your paying too much for gas, take a bus, its cheaper. The trouble with a lot of American’s they are spoiled and lazy. The bus isn’t good enough for them so they use their credit cards to fill up time after time then get mad because they run out of money. That’s like the people that bought houses or condo’s with 5% down instead of 25% to 30% down and then they faced foreclosure. It appears that people make their own mistakes by their choices.
