Obama NAILS it!

Barack Obama delivered everything he needed to in his 44 minute speech at Mile High Stadium tonight. He systematically addressed each and every issue that Republicans have attempted to attack him on, one by one, from the "celebrity" crap to the attempt to paint him as weak and unexperienced. Any doubts that the Democratic Party is at all fractured should now be completely cleared.

Eight is Enough!




I'll End The War In Iraq Responsibly... Finish The Fight Against Al Qaeda And The Taliban In Afghanistan... Provide Affordable Health Care for Every American... Cut Taxes For 95% Of All Working Families... End Dependence On Oil From Middle East In Ten Years... Invest $150B In Renewable Sources Of Energy Over The Next Decade... Rebuild Our Military To Meet Future Conflicts..."John McCain Has Voted With George Bush 90% Of The Time... I'm Not Ready To Take A Ten Percent Chance On Change"... "Bush-McCain Foreign Policy Has Squandered The Legacy That Generations Of Americans — Democrats And Republicans – Have Built"... "If John McCain Wants To Follow George Bush With More Tough Talk And Bad Strategy, That Is His Choice – But It Is Not The Change We Need"... "It’s Not Because John McCain Doesn’t Care. It’s Because John McCain Doesn’t Get It."

Chris Matthews on Barack Obama's acceptance speech

"We are the party of Roosevelt. We are the party of Kennedy. So don't tell me that Democrats won't defend this country.I will never hesitate to defend this nation."

"I will rebuild our military to meet future conflicts. But I will also renew the tough, direct diplomacy that can prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons".

"Senator McCain likes to talk about judgment, but really, what does it say about your judgment when you think George Bush was right more than 90 percent of the time?"

"Change means a tax code that doesn't reward the lobbyists who wrote it, but the American workers and small businesses who deserve it. Unlike John McCain, I will stop giving tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas, and I will start giving them to companies that create good jobs right here in America. I will eliminate capital gains taxes for the small businesses and the start-ups that will create the high-wage, high-tech jobs of tomorrow. I will cut taxes - cut taxes - for 95% of all working families. Because in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle-class."

"For over two decades, John McCain's subscribed to that old, discredited Republican philosophy - give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else. In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society, but what it really means is - you're on your own. Out of work? Tough luck. No health care? The market will fix it. Born into poverty? Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps - even if you don't have boots. You're on your own.Well it's time for them to own their failure. It's time for us to change America."

"As President, I will tap our natural gas reserves, invest in clean coal technology, and find ways to safely harness nuclear power. I'll help our auto companies re-tool, so that the fuel-efficient cars of the future are built right here in America. I'll make it easier for the American people to afford these new cars. And I'll invest 150 billion dollars over the next decade in affordable, renewable sources of energy - wind power and solar power and the next generation of biofuels; an investment that will lead to new industries and five million new jobs that pay well and can't ever be outsourced.And for the sake of our economy, our security, and the future of our planet, I will set a clear goal as President: in ten years, we will finally end our dependence on oil from the Middle East."

"Now, many of these plans will cost money, which is why I've laid out how I'll pay for every dime - by closing corporate loopholes and tax havens that don't help America grow. But I will also go through the federal budget, line by line, eliminating programs that no longer work and making the ones we do need work better and cost less - because we cannot meet twenty-first century challenges with a twentieth century bureaucracy."
