Perfect Day in Denver

I’m sorry, but there really is a difference in standing before a Greek Revival-style courthouse or government building to give a speech, and actually having a fake Greek temple constructed for the sole purpose of emphasizing the historic nature of the moment. Bill Clinton is wrong. Obama is not a Chicago thug. He’s just got a chip missing.

well if McCain picks Romney at their convention they can break into the theme from “Silver Spoons”…
“Here we are face to face…a coupl o’ silver spoons…hopin’ to find… we’re two of a kind hopin’ to grow …hopin to go…together …we’re gonna find our way”
cue satge elevator Ricky Schroeder and KFed entrance (Kfed does a rap during the bridge)

They asked Romney how many homes he owns today.
His answer — 1 less than John “Heinz” Kerry.

Yes, back in Kerry Edwards days no one minded the Silver Spoon twins, so that doesn’t really work today. But nice try.
Did Mitt really say one less than Kerry?
LOLOL. Love it!
Meanwhile the Obama-Ayers scandal heats up and he’s in a frenzy over it. Trying to shut down free speech. Amazing. And scary.

The absolute stupidity with which some folks make their decisions is beyond comprehension… who gives a bleep about columns or suits, or whatever… can we move pass our childish notions to focus on the fact that millions like myself have no insurance, as a single mother with one income trying to provide for 2 children.. this bunch of nonsense is really infuriating… there are many of us who choose to focus on the issues and not these distracting non-sensical garbage…

How much money would have been saved if Obama gave his speech like all other Presidential Candidates have — from the convention center.
Wasn’t it “grand” enough for him?
Is this an example of how frugal he will be with taxpayer dollars?

I was a Hillary supporter. But even I must admit that this nomination is a HISTORICAL event and guess what? It’s about time! I am a very proud American.

I agree and I too was a Hillary supporter.

well atleast Romney knows the count.
it’s always good to have a president that understands the fiscal stresses of people sooo much he can’t easily say how many homes he owns.
It’s not about being rich …or even not earning it…
the most important thing is …he doesn’t understand it.
although I wonder if you put a student loan application or a small business loan app… or a tax form…or application for subsidizing your mother’s housing…or a help wanted ad…
or a tax form…
if he, Romney would actually be able to fill them out either
the guy making decisions should have an understanding of what it means to earn that money …not inherit it or divorce into it.

Will citizens of the United States of Obama be charged a fat tax on drive-through burgers?

Under President Obama, will farmers be required to grow arugula, or will iceberg and romaine still be allowed? Will mashed potatoes and gravy be banned?

After the coronation, will First Lady Michelle really scratch President Clinton’s eyes out?

Under the Obama regime, will government funds be used to pay MSNBC, CNN & Newsweek magazine for their work on behalf of the Obama campaign?

This Ayers thing is really heating up.
Obama’s lawyers are busy trying to stop free speech.
The Chicago Tribune describes the media frenzy at the library and notes the Obama cover-up:
The UIC records show that Obama and Ayers attended board meetings, retreats and at least one news conference together as the education program got under way. The two continued to attend meetings together during the 1995-2001 operation of the program, records show.
At a Democratic debate this year when the association between Obama and Ayers was raised, Obama said: “This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood. . . . He’s not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.” Obama called Ayers’ past radical acts detestable.
But critics note that Obama visited Ayers’ home for a meeting at the start of his first state Senate bid in the mid-’90s.

Just asking
only is you earn more than 250,000
you know the group who has seen their tax burden grow at half the rate of the rest of America over the past 40 years since the republicans have been spewing this garbage about redistributing wealth…
only thing is …they only meant it was bad to redistribute downward… it’s okay that for 40 years it has ratio wise gone toward them…

When Barack Obama takes his rightful place as leader of the entire planet, will he really have the time to fix our broken souls? Will he create a Department of Broken Souls, headed by Michelle, with a great big increase in salary?

Under an Obama administration, will white Americans be required to participate in Newsweek’s “racial resentment index?”

Kerrie isn’t it the Republican attack machine having legal problems finally for slander is actually what is “heating up”
that the illegal slander is actually finally being called to the carpet…
yeah actually I think it is.
and you all don’t like it one bit.

In an Obama administration, will peasants be allowed to offer criticisms of Obama, or will they be arrested for Racism against the United States of Obama? Will offenders be imprisoned, or fed to the lions?

How did Clinton (Hillary and Bill) and Biden determine that Obama was qualified to become President when 6 months ago they were all saying John McCain was more qualified and Obama didn’t have the know how?
Talk about Flip-Flops.

dl – what illegal slander?
It is all recorded in Annenberg Challenge papers.
Obbama’s signature on memo’s along with Ayers.
Records of board meetings they both attended.
Money (millions)that can’t be accounted for.
What is not true? The lawyers were trying to prevent access to the papers. They aren’t suing for slander because there is no basis. They are just trying to prevent the truth from being uncovered.

Kerrie-
You are totally right but in addition the Democratic Party (which I was affiliated with, but not this Election year)had inspirational speaker after speaker talking about rags-to-riches stories.How traditional American values brought gratifying and rewarding results to family after family. A Governor spoke of his children that have visited 4 continents and will have opportunities never opened to him. Michelle Obama talked about her family values that brought such fulfilling results, she attended Princeton University—and, even stated to the huge crowd that “the American Dream endures”. Yet, the Democratic platform is that doors are slammed, opportunities are blocked, the middle class dreams are shattered, hopes and aspirations gone—all is gloom and doom without government to step in, without Obama in charge. There is no “hope” for this party to unite when they cannot even get the message they send out to everyone in some agreement.

Hey Jo, free speech doesn’t quite working if what your saying isn’t true. We have laws for that.

We can do better in America and “President Obama” shall enable us to do better. Which is why he needs to be reelected this November.
For example, the bottom 40% of wage-earners in America pay zero of the income tax received by the Treasury Dept. In contrast, the top 20% of wage-earners in America, those with incomes above $215k, currently pay 86.3% of all income taxes received. We can do better. We do not need 8 more years of the status quo. President Obama can return America to Americans by legislating that the bottom 80% of all wage-earners pay zero percent of all income taxes received, and making those in the top 20% pay 100% of all income taxes received at the Treasury. We can do better and we shall do better after President Obama wins reelection in November. 86.3% is the status quo and Bush/McCain represent the status quo meaning they are happy with the top 20% of wage-earners only paying 86.3% of all income taxes received.
Next, in agreement with what California Rep. Maxine Waters asserted at a House Judiciary Committee meeting last May 22, President Obama should seize all oil companies in USA since the U.S. Government can run them better than the oil companies. We can do better. We will do better. HOPE is the way forward.

i believe that the dnc is just having one big party and barak hissan obama is going to party like a rock for the moment and act the his the president even if it just for one night people get real obama is not ready and i know and you know it’s just people is caught up with there emotions and don’t see pass the speeches what have his truley done alot blacks are voting just because he black they don’t care about the issues if the issue really matters then we would not be having one big party tonight why couldn’t he have it were everybody else spoke oh his to good for that place black folks you better wake up and look behind the speeches and don’t get caught up on that emotional high

The Most Important Job in America
Iran is developing nuclear inventory capable of deployment which of course Obama will stop by his “aggressive personal diplomacy”. Obama has vowed to “cut investments in the unproven missile defense systems”. Obama has no foresight and is putting all Americans in harms way. Airplanes, medical advancements, vaccines, cars, bridges, and so forth were all “unproven” until people with insight made investments, took some risks….this is what made America so great. Oh, and by the way, Russia has first-world missiles. I know Obama is good on the teleprompter speeches, but he is removing all safety nets for America, so let’s hope his is a “fast” learner for the most important job in this country.

Let’s show some grit and use our votes as the grand weapons they are, let no one deter us from our fight for a better America.
I always hate a sports reference, BUT! Why the hell would you take a loser with NO batting average from the minors and put him in the line up of the MAJORS with no ball and no glove nor bat!! WHY?? THAT IS BO!
18 millon votes up for grabs….GO McCain!!!
NADER UP 10%!!!!!
DID YOU HEAR THAT BO>>>18 million votes and not for you sweetie!!!

jackt51, I’m afraid my friend if the Republicans go down in flames it won’t be long before the whole country goes up in flames thanks to your terrorist friendly candidate. Think about it.

Are the bands going to play ‘Hail to the Chief?”
