You must not have heard many speeches in your life. What was so great about Obama's speech? It was mostly stale anti-Bush rhetoric; he is not running against Bush! Kerry tried this and the people rejected him, as they will Obama, people want ideas not bitching and moaning. The addition of Sarah Palin seals the deal, McCain is the next president.

Bitching and moaning? Stale anti-Bush rhetoric? Mike, your response leaves much to question... since I'm not convinced you watched the speech. A wealth of ideas, from energy development to taxation and foreign policy to the affordability of college were addressed; and these are issues pretty important to the majority of Americans. Yet, as often happens with folks who lack personal opinion, they ride innuendo and end with statements about sealing deals, with absolutely zero commentary about how or why. Mike, at least give us something to have a conversation about.

Mike , you have to be kidding ....if elected, the woman is not ready to take over should anything (god forbid) happen to McCain. She is like a doe in the headlights. Tell me why should we vote for someone who used her public office to try to get her brother in law fired over a private family dispute?!? When she was a mayor she also tried to fire the local librarian for refusing to censor books that offended her personally. These are examples of very poor judgement . Also, consider that the tax burden that has been taken off of the Big Corporations and wealthiest Americans has been put square on the backs of small businesses and regular citizens like you and me. The Republican party has been directly responsible for that. McCain & Palin promise to continue this asinine policy , Obama gives us a chance to reverse it. I think the only "stale rhetoric" in this campaign is the whole "if you vote for Obama the sky will fall" message that is central to McCain/Palin's entire vapid campaign . they are the ones "bitching and moaning" not us. And by the way , what part of Iraq is Osama Bin Laden in again? Bush/Cheney have made major strategic errors that have not only prevented the capture of Bin Laden , but have also seriously weakened our Nation, , and strengthened our enemies.... especially Iran! McCain will continue that mistaken policy too. Obama plans on redeploying troops to Afghanistan, which we should have been concentrating on all along, you are the one who needs to stop whining and thinking emotionally. A vote for Obama is a vote for a stronger more sensible foreign policy , as well as a more sensible domestic policy too. A vote for McCain is a vote to continue Bush's mistakes....I don't expect you to listen to reason , obviously you would rather make your decision based on fear and irrationality instead of what is best for America. I just hope there are enough us with the courage to not give in to "stale rhetoric" that has been pawned off by all of you Neo Con Men from Gingrich to DeLay to Bush/Cheney to the current sad charade of McCain/Palin
