I would be able to respect liberals if they devoted more attention to the issues. I just overheard a phone conversation at work that went something like this, “Obama spoke for about 44 minutes and it was wonderful. He bashed on McCain so hard. The news wanted to talk to undecided voters, but there’s like a billion people here, so he won’t be able to please everyone. Why don’t they just get on board.” I kid you not the person said “billion”.
I watched his speech last night and all I got out of it was that Obama is the best person for the job because McCain is like Bush. Not because he has more well thought out policies or more experience. That’s going to be the main Democratic strategy for the rest of the campaign, connect McCain and Bush whenever possible. You won’t hear specifics on Obama’s long term policies because they are way to far to the left for people in the center. Instead we’ll be fed more rhetoric and one line “burns”.
I’m glad Obama is going after McCain because it just opens the door for a fierce counter-attack. I want McCain to hit back HARD and paint Obama as the quasi-Socialist that he is. I’m looking forward to the debates where the two of them have to speak side-by-side.
Looks like McCain has picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin which is exciting from what I’ve read about here. Will have to do some research on her once the decision is final. Oh reminds me, Biden = yawwwwwn.
To me it looks like Obama’s turning stale with his safe VP choice of old man Biden?
So now with McCain’s Palin choice doesn’t that show he’s the one who’s more believes in “PROGRESS” and “CHANGE”
Obama’s attacks are and have been VERY weak, from McCain is like Bush to he doesn’t know how many houses he has… wow grasping at straws aren’t we?
The whole house/ownership thing nearly killed me. How is it bad the man owns 7 properties? That just shows the man has good business/investment strategies in mind.
That’s something I aspire to as I’d like to some day own multiple properties and have a few just for investment purposes. Really It’s just as inspiring as Obama who came from a broken home, went to a decent college and is now wealthy.
Despite what his loving media says, it wasn’t specific. He wants us off foreign oil in 10 years. How? How the crap do you make that claim and then provide no details beyond “alternative energy!”?
Gallup daily is showing a big convention bounce, but I don’t think it will last. When the republicans have their convention and people get to know Palin, I think this is far from over.
