The Dems are meeting in Boston now...

Originally posted by Taboo # 7 Watched the convention last night: as Barack Obama finished speaking , I thought to myself "there goes the first black president of the US"

Obama's speech was energizing, but a part was more fit for the 60's rather than today. As for him being president someday, he'll need to become a governor first (or become a VP), and then he'll have much better chances. He seems to not be a typical Democrat. Here's a quote I liked from Tucker Carlson: "He came out for tax cuts for corporations; that's kind of interesting. He didn't say anything about Iraq; that's interesting too. He didn't say anything about the Patriot Act. He didn't say anything about desecrating the environment. He said not a word about Halliburton. In other words, his speech sounded nothing like the typical Democratic speech this year. I thought it was good."

TC's one of the few conservatives I like (including you, of course), because he rarely seems like he's gonna shout down the other guy. Fox News doesn't have a sense of humor about him, but he's cool. Bit too Alex Keaton-esque perhaps, but alright by me.

Obama's a relatively young man (early 40s), so he'll have plenty of time to run for all sorts of offices and get some experience. I'm just saying that, were he to run for something on national scale like Prez or VP, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat based on what he brought to the convention last night. I really think this guy could go all the way to the White House, if he ever wanted to.

I agree that he's a very likeable man. I almost like him

He's so dreamy..........

Sean hannity, on the other hand.......total asshole

From Inside Politics:

"The most striking thing about the Democratic convention this year is how few Democratic themes have been heard from the podium. With the exception of Al Sharpton, an uncontrollable force of nature who has so intimidated the Democratic leadership that they leave him alone, no speaker I've seen has deviated significantly from the prepared text.

And the prepared text mentions almost none of the stock Democratic talking points: Bush stole the election, lied to get us into war, and threw the profits to Halliburton and the Carlyle Group, all to please the Saudis and the religious right, and also to avenge his father's 1992 loss. Because Bush is both diabolical and a moron, brilliantly evil and mentally retarded."

Kerry's Speech

"The 60-year-old lawmaker made a triumphant entrance into the hall, walking a happy gantlet of delegates who reached out eagerly to greet him. "I'm John Kerry and I'm reporting for duty," he said moments later from the podium, snapping off a salute before beginning his speech.

Over and over, he said, "America can do better. And help is on the..."
