So what did you guys think about the National Democratic Convention that aired today?

Question

I think Obama did a fantastic job. Everything we need fixed in this country he said it. See Obama understands because he grew up poor. His family was living off food stamps but he overcame that and went to college and made something out of his self. He understands what it is like to live pay check to pay check. A rich person or anybody who grew already having everything don't understand what its like to get up early every morning working hard for little and trying to feed your family. Bill piling up. You cant understand it unless you been through it. Its not a big of a deal for you. Everybody is not fortunate. So many people are losing jobs and there houses. I live in Chicago and they are about to start letting people go on alot of jobs. Times is getting to hard. Gas prices crazy.... Nobody dont have money like they use to anymore. If you take a look food clothes prices went up. Pretty soon everybody is going to start robbing everybody. Thats why we need Obama. I'm ready for a positive change. He has my vote. His wife and kids are beautiful.

Answer 1

Yes, he was good and yes, his wife and children are beautiful. Nonetheless, it's all rhetoric. Let's see what happens AFTER the conventions, when they debate. Hopefully, they will be true debates and not just soapboxes, where each gives his monoloques.

To say a rich person doesn't understand poverty is not fair nor accurate. That's like saying an author can write only about what he has experienced. Rich folks can be empathic and generous ( unless they're being taxed to death ). Rich folks create jobs, businesses. Some actually feel responsible, if not guilty, for people living in poverty. I don't think Bush is one of them.

Anyway, it was like one big cheerleading rally-getting everyone pumped up. So, after the RNC, let the fight begin-and what a fight it will be!!

Answer 2

you bet ye,  

Answer 3

i think that both parties are activley selling us down the river, and that anyone who doesnt get that is a fool

Obama, like McCain supports raising h-1b visas, that send educated hard working Americans down the tubes

Obama supports Amnesty, which threatens to bankrupt this country, and undermine the rule of law.  Illegal immigration DEVESTATES the wages of African Americans

Obama selected Biden, who blames his Iraq war vote on Bush.  But on 'Shalom TV', he says 'I am a Zionist'.  Why doesnt he ever say that to American Citizens?

Answer 4

He says hes giving tax breaks to the middle class yet he considers the middle class to be $27000/yr and less which is basically minimum wage.  I wounder what he is going to do for the REAL middle class?

Answer 5

The production was extremely good. Speech was boring for production and should have been given at basketball site. Holding noise and voting for Obama. Think the combination was mistake. If McCain is smart he will not try to out show that production, but will chop his convention to bar minimum, and donate money not used to SS.  

Answer 6

I heard Obama grew up going to a rich kids school in Hawaii where he was the only black kid.

But besides, I think Obama is pretty good!!

Answer 7

you need a lot of work done

Answer 8

obama is brilliant and inspiring!

Answer 9

the part where the struggling middle americans were making rehearsed speeches was so cliche that even i, a liberal independent lost intrest in the big circus act that is a political convention

Answer 10

That was the most exciting convention I have ever seen.  He is truly a great statesman and his family is wonderful.  The whole story of his life is perfect as a person to lead this country.  His timing is perfect too.  We need him now more than ever and we can all appreciate him more now that we have had the 8 yrs of odd governing.  His speech was electifying and I hope all of the children were watching because it was history in the making.  And all on the anniversary of Martin Luther King's speech.  Wow.  What a night.  One for the books!

Answer 11

He understands that if you're black you get special dispensation and consideration when you want money to attend an ivy league school, or you want the cream of them all government  US Senatorial jobs! Barry has never gone without in his entire life, and anyone that believes that nonsense is a fool!

Answer 12

The Democratic Convention started off poorly and ended brilliantly.  Al Gore gave a good speech tonight although the commentators are saying that he was a bit rushed.  Joe Biden did well tonight and last night but I think he was more eloquent tonight.  Obama was perfect.  He blasted Bush, tied McCain to Bush, reiterated his principles and ideals, and ended by mentioning plenty of very specific policy objectives.  He even mentioned the legacy of Dr. King without seeming pretentious.
