Lets hope the teleprompter works ok, otherwise all we will here is uh uh uh then
a few sentences, then uh uh uh and so on. I listened to one of his speeches on
his overseas trip when he didn,t use a teleprompter. He spent about five minutes
saying uh uh during a 45 minuts news conference.

To RC: obviously you have duh-Bush mixed up with one of the finest orators this
country has produced in generations.
Obama is classy, educated, a family man, and for change -- to get us out of the hole that George put us in. He has my vote and my confidence.

HUCKABEE: It was a question that I actually asked of the New York Times
Magazine writer, because he knew a lot more about Mormonism than I did. It
appeared as 11 words in about a 10,000-word story, and that got all the play. I
personally apologized to Mitt because it did come across wrong and it's
simply not the way I feel and it isn't, and I don't think Mitt
Romney's religion has a thing to do with it. I think, you know, a record
has to do with it, but not his religion. And frankly, my attitude is, the
primary's over, we need to get behind John McCain, support him, He's
our best chance, right now, our only chance to beat Barack Obama, and Barack
Obama will destroy small business, his plans for higher taxes would be
abominable, and his absolutely frankly deplorable view about when life begins is
nothing short of frightening.

The GOP has a dream to | 3:44 p.m. Aug. 28, 2008
Franklin D. Roosevelt, who lead this country through some of the most difficult
financial times we've ever experienced, who led us out of the Great
Depression and led us through the darkest days of the Second World War. The man
who said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Harry S.
Truman, the implacable little Missourian who ended the war and saved untold
lives by dropping the only atomic bombs ever used in battle. The man who said,
"The buck stops here." Ronald Reagan, who regained America's
military power and prestige and who was not afraid to use it. The man who said,
"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." What ever happened to all the
great leaders? What is the difference between the Roosevelts, Trumans and
Reagans and the candidates the national parties put up for us to vote for these
days.

This isn't about breaking the barrier for blacks. This is about electing

Good luck if you elect this socialist loser.

Wait until the McCain speech. It will be painful to watch his eyes glued to the
prompter.
Shadow | 7:31 p.m. Aug. 28, 2008
As I watch the democratic convention it is obvious that they are coming together
as one. They feel victory. Repub higher ups must really be sweating tonight.
How will they react? Well, they will attack, attack, attack. But that is getting old. The public is not for that kind of politics. They will use surrogates to do their dirty work, though.
McCain will choose a vp... I wish I knew. Right now there is the old cigar smoke in the old room and decisions are being made. Should they go with candidate A,B or G?
Now comes the clincher about who is going to win in November. The durn hurricane. It might steal the show. Who wants to watch an old guy read cards and wave flags and squeeze the mrs? They would rather know where the hurricane is, who is getting clobbered, etc.
One last item: if the hurricane hits anywhere near New Orleans, the election goes to the demos. Why? Bush cannot run down there and look good, McCain can't join him. No way, jose. The demos can go down there and rip and rip and rip on Bush and the gop.

My question is where are the American Flags in Mile High Stadium?? They are in
the hands of the people, but there is not one sign of a flag on the podium or
any around the backdrop of the stage. I find it very interesting that the
American people will support someone for President of the United States that
will not fly and support the American Flag!!!
Shadow dosen't know | 9:13 p.m. Aug. 28, 2008
that if the hurricane coincides with the GOP convention they will postpone the
convention. Now you know.

Barack Obama is going to continue to lift the spirits and the circumstances of
our country. This is a man of character, a man of honor, a man of vision, and a
man with the wisdom and intellect to propel his ideas and ideals. God bless him
in his continued efforts! Please folks - open your minds and hearts and listen
to this man. You cannot help but be inspired to expect more and to be more.
Yes!

The Hurricane is a excuse so that Bush is not shown hugging McBush
Obama is a closet republican | 9:39 p.m. Aug. 28, 2008
If I were a democrat, I would be officially confused after Obama's
acceptance speech. What Obama you're ok if people have guns? You recognize
the huge terrorist network, but you can't because that's what George
Bush has been telling us. Excuse me, said you would outfit the troops, but just
a year ago you voted not to fund them, You are going to go over the budget line
by line and cut wasteful spending, Obama have you been talking to Mitt Romney.
Obama flip flop is not even big enough to describe your speech tonight. And you
want to start burning coal! Did you forget our global warming crisis. We've
been fighting the repubs on this forever. What you want natural gas? I think I
just witnessed the republican national convention.
Impressed | 9:47 p.m. Aug. 28, 2008
Much of the criticism of Obama is that is resume is "thin." Meaning
we are not yet aware of all of the things he has accomplished. It is clear that
for his 25 years as an adult he has continually trained and improved his mind.
Mental curiosity and stamina are what we currently need in the White House. GWB
clearly didn't have that and there isn't much evidence that McCain
exhibits much of either.
His listing of 29 specific policy implementations should be clear indication of what he intends to do in the White House. Sounds like the kind of change and improvement I want for my family.
I have no problems with those who criticize Obama if they criticize his policies rather than attempt to attack his character or create non-factual controversies.

It is imperative that this country wakes up and realizes that the GOP has sold
us down the river with it's illegal war and unrestrained spending. Mcain
would continue these failed policies. In another four years we will be like
France, a second rate power. Vote for black power and leadership. Vote for
Brother Obama. Fix America.

Um, Anonymous? There was a row of American flags right behind him on the stage,
not to mention the red, white, and blue streamers and confetti shot out after he
was finished speaking. I know Obama will never be able to do anything right in
your eyes, but you're going to have to try a little harder than that.
brejol | 10:14 p.m. Aug. 28, 2008
Rezco,Wright, Ayers, and who knows how many others. Obama has not completed a
single term in the senate. He's never done anything of substance.
He's a preacher. Nothing else. Suppose it was McCain who was a first term
senator, and Obama had multiple terms and military experience. And despite that,
McCain still had a lead. It would be cited as an extreme case of racism.
Scott | 10:26 p.m. Aug. 28, 2008
Obama's speech inspired me. Gave me hope. Obama hit the values that
represent what my country stands for: providing people opportunities to succeed
by investing in education, helping the sick return to the work force, and hope
that a self-made man can bring our country back to represent the people instead
of big business. I feel he relates to me. He had student loans to pay back just
like I do. He isn't going to let the rich get by without paying taxes by
slipping through loop holes that I don't know about because I can't
afford an accountant.
I think that he is going to lead foreign policy with reason instead of emotion and trust in allies instead of bullying other countries to do our will. I am proud to be an American because of the hope our country represents. I think that Obama restores this hope. I think that if he achieves half of the list of promises then he will be a success. I think that he represents what I feel about America, about my LDS faith teaches about humanity, and what will help restore the USA to the place in the world before Bush. Go OBAMA!

It seemed to me that Obama spent half of his talk ripping on McCain and the
other half on his big dreams. I don't believe he can do all that he
promises. Empty words.
harold | 10:58 p.m. Aug. 28, 2008
That was a truly extraordinary speech in front of a very emotional crowd...84000
in total.
It will be very hard for the coming convention to measure up to this. It is so refreshing to see when you think about the civil rights movement and the struggle and exclusions the black people have faced in this nation.

Re: Scott | 11:00 p.m. Aug. 28, 2008
You can relate to the guy with a $1.6 million house. Thats great I know I
can't. Falling for everything and standing for nothing sounds appealing.
Wake up, do you have no issues with getting your taxes raised once he is
president? Plan to because he stated on his website that he plans to mandate
every child has healthcare. How are we going to fund that? He's also
planning to take money from the corporations and where is that going to affect?
The employees and prices, the first goes down and the other goes up, sounds like
a great fix.
Yay Scott | 11:31 p.m. Aug. 28, 2008
I agree that more LDS should open up to the idea of voting for Barack Obama.
Family values includes education and healthcare and jobs and other basic issues
that are important to keep families strong.
McCain is a very decent man, but with him its more of the same. I'm for political change taht helps regular families, for a new generation to be heard. I'm a self-made man who is smart and knows how to inspire people, like the opposite of Bush.
I'm voting Obama.

What is truly amazing is that the Demoncrats have convinced themselves that one
man, 1 president, is responsible for everything weird that has happened over the
last 8 years. Demoncrats have been in charge of the Congress and are just as
responsible for errors and failures in this government. More so in a lot of
ways. Focusing on the President is the great lie of the Left. And so many are
just sucking it up.
J. James | 11:47 p.m. Aug. 28, 2008
This is a chance to be on the right side of history. Each of us has an
opportunity, right now, to decide if we'll be counted among those who stood
for the right and for the future and for change - or for repeating the same sad
mistakes of the past. Many people will discount everything Obama says because
they are afraid of change and unwilling to listen to his speech. These are the
same people who would have opposed abolition, desegregation, or allowing women
to vote. These are the people who would have opposed Joseph Smith or Jesus
Christ in their day because they represented fundamental change to the old,
tired ways of thinking. I'm NOT saying Obama is the equivalent of Smith or
Christ - I AM saying It would have required faith, courage and hope for change
to have embraced the messages of Smith or Christ as well.
Shrug off the temptation to simply label Obama with the Republican party's slur de jour. And decide, right now, to be an agent for everything that is right - to be an agent for change - to be on the right side of history.

Someone on here falsely claims that there were no American flags when Obama
spoke. That is untrue.
Des News rules prevent me from posting the many youtube links where you can see for yourself: many American flags proudly flown on the stage right next to Obama, plus thousands of American flags all over the stadium.
If people don't like Obama policies that's fine, but please can we stop with the email smears that he's not a real American? Barack Obama is natural-born American citizen who loves our country.

Obama is what this country needs.
I know that some of the people that read this paper are against abortion, and think that McCain shares their values. McCain does not share your values, do two seconds of research and you will learn what values he shares.
We s Americans need Obama, he brings fresh ideas without the baggage of the GOP and all their cheese eating friends that put them in office.
We need someone who will stand up for America and what we truly represent. We are not about frivolous wars. Lets come together and elect Oboma, he truly can make this world a better place.
God help us all if McCain wins and we have another four years of this failed murderous policy.

Right. Obviously he's un-inspired.
These wars will never end until the 2nd coming. Anyone with any knowledge of the Book of Mormon know that we are being punished collectively for our iniquities. And it's not likely until the 2nd coming that we will see peace again. Not unless we all repent. I believe these people are the modern day Lamanites. They are our latter-day scourge...to stir us up unto remembrance of the Lord.

Obama's speech was brilliant. I'm not one to cry at all but I had
tears in my eyes 3 times during his speech.
I respect that McCain is a war vet, but in my mind just because someone was a POW doesn't mean they should be president of the United States. McCain was in the bottom of his class in the Navy, and Barack was the president of the Havard Law Review. I've had enough of C average presidents like the current one, lets give intelligence a try!
Barack is the definition of the American dream. A self-made man rising up out of poverty to a single mother and becoming the Democratic Presidential Nominee.
His words speak true to me. Its far riskier to elect a man who's policys reflect the current president and hope for me sort of change than to elect the man we know is different.
How about the sleazy way McCain slammed Romney all through the primary? You still want to vote for him? We are watching one of the most significant moments in US history and I am going to be a part of it and vote Obama!

is okay with Abortion? What? Right there tells me his is a hypocrite. He
values life of those here, but not those yet to come? How contradicory can
anyone be? You forget that life is life when begins. He will never get it...he
should be thankful his parents never chose that option...or he would not be
here...what do people not get about this most critical subject. When you go
against the laws of God and Nature...what do you think happens? You destroy
something beautiful that could have been. I will never understand anyone voting
for someone who is pro choice and not pro life.
Ridgerunner | 3:21 a.m. Aug. 29, 2008
I never heard anything NEW from Obama during his much praised speech! Same old
socialist baloney the Dems have been feeding us for years! Tax the rich! Party
for the common man!We care about the little guy! Please consider this before
voting. Everytime in history where socialism/communism has been tired, it has
failed! The reason is simple, it punishes those who work hard and accomplish
things in their life and incentivises low achievement! Why should I or anyone
else work hard and accomplish things? If I am successful, the government will
come and confiscate my property (money). Why should I invest my brains, my
effort or my money in a country who will take anything I achieve and give it to
others who did not earn it? Cuba is a great example of this. But hey, in that
liberal socialist paradise, they have "free' health care. No matter
their country lags behind the rest of the world in economic development and in
every other kind of human advancement! 4 years of Obama will make the US look
very much like Cuba!

Remember the lies McCain told us about how he and Petraeus went around Bagdad and visited a market place virtually alone? Here are some of his own words::
"General Petraeus goes out there almost every day in an unarmed Humvee."
Which is a lie, of course

anyways.
Unfortunately most of America is too stupid to see this man for what he truly is. Go back to your dancing with the stars, you get what you deserve!
Maybe after Obama is elected I could find myself a new life with the Swiss.

I was for Obama before I noticed all the baggage he will be bringing with him
into the White House.
Rev. 'hate' America for making him rich- Rev. 'hate' America for making his congregation poor. Some of his buddies in college blowing up govt buildings-Some from Chicago using his authority to steal from poor people.
I have been in a business for thirty years, and I can guarantee you one thing- most people hate CHANGE.
CHANGE usually means makes things worse, and it scares people.
Good luck Obama trying to take the White House.

RE To RC 2:04 pm | 4:40 a.m. Aug. 29, 2008
You must have your Obama goggles on. Whenever Obama speeks without a
teleprompter he ummms and ugghhhs every other sentence. He is great when he
gets to rehearse and use a teleprompter but when he has to talk on his feet he
sounds like a stuttering fool. Go youtube a few Obama interviews and you will
see what you are too blind to notice. It is ok to spot some weakness in a
person. I don't know why people have to defend anything that is percieved
as negative when it comes to Obama. This guy gets more breaks, biased coverage
and defended more than any candidate I have seen in my lifetime.
Hype, build up | 4:54 a.m. Aug. 29, 2008
I like how the media set this up like it is going to be one of the greatest
speeches of our generation. I havn't had a chance to listen to it yet
because of work, but once I get a chance I will watch it on youtube. But I
remember his speech on race and all the praise it got from the media. After the
Obamagasms settled down it got criticized. The typical white women comment
describing his grandmother and saying he was present for some of his
pastor's disturbing sermons after saying he was never present, heard them
or heard about them a few days earlier. We all know how that turned out a few
weeks later.
