It certainly was a unique presentation for a convention.duxupBush had the same stage setup in 2004.
I think people just cared more.
Is there any way this man wont win?IsbrealiompieWell to be fair, not everyone that viewed it, liked it.
Some people just tuned in to find things they can nitpick about.
[QUOTE="Isbrealiompie"]Is there any way this man wont win?Dethshoot
Yes.
Well I couldn't care less anyway I dont even live in America. As long as one of them ends the recession I dont care.
Is there any way this man wont win?Isbrealiompie
Yeah. I don't think it was all Obama supporters who were watching the convention... The polls are still close.
[QUOTE="Isbrealiompie"]Is there any way this man wont win?Pirate700Uhhh, yes. He isn't even winning in the poles right now (that that sways all over). um what?
and that was BEFORE his speech last night. :|
Wanna try again for the consolation prize?
[QUOTE="Isbrealiompie"]Is there any way this man wont win?duxup
Oh it is no guarantee. The race is close.
And I'm guessing Obama is gonna lose, mainly because of how the universe likes to screw people over.

Did he have it outdoors, with fireworks in a big stadium? I don't remember Bush's speech in 2004.
I'm sure it couldn't have been outside. Not that many motivated R's in 2004. but the stage was as dramatic.[QUOTE="duxup"][QUOTE="Isbrealiompie"]Is there any way this man wont win?Video_Game_King

Not voting for Obama is screwing people over? :|[QUOTE="killyou060606"]Wasn't that on every channel?Pirate700It was on most major networds but of course not every channel. I only had four channels at the time it aired. ^_^
What did he say, would have been funny with 38 million viewers he stood up and told jokes or something.Brainkiller05lol. I'm sure you can watch the video at the democratic national convention website. or maybe CNN or MSNBC.
And I was one of the 262 Americans who did not watch it.Genetic_Code:lol: that's cool man. You missed one of the greatest speeches of our generation, but you know...things happen. ;)
[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"]Meh. I wasn't really impressed by the speach itself. I wish Obama would just get up there and read his dang policy papers. Enough about teh yes we can, teh bush, and teh change.Rikusaki
He stated 29 specifics and policies in that speech. >_>
indeed.[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"]Meh. I wasn't really impressed by the speach itself. I wish Obama would just get up there and read his dang policy papers. Enough about teh yes we can, teh bush, and teh change.Rikusaki

In very broad generalities. As someone who has read his policy papers, it was lacking.[QUOTE="Genetic_Code"]And I was one of the 262 Americans who did not watch it.Dreams-Visions:lol: that's cool man. You missed one of the greatest speeches of our generation, but you know...things happen. ;) Have we figured out who wrote it for him yet?
[QUOTE="Pirate700"][QUOTE="Rikusaki"]Well there is a surprise. :lol:It was being shown in the Theaters here in Eugene, Oregon.
Rikusaki
lol Whats wrong with Oregon?
Nothing is wrong with Oregon. It is just one of the most radically liberal states in the union so them running it in theaters doesn't surprise me. Nothing wrong.[QUOTE="Dreams-Visions"][QUOTE="Genetic_Code"]And I was one of the 262 Americans who did not watch it.blackngold29:lol: that's cool man.

These guys don't write their own speaches or have anything to do with their writing. And I love how Dems always say their speeches are one's for the ages.

Not voting for Obama is screwing people over? :|Let me say this: many people want Obama, and he'll probably be a good president. Therefore, the forces of fate are gonna screw us over by somehow getting McCain into office. District controversey, absentee ballots, counting the votes of US territories (not sure how often that's done, to be honest), everything will be done to get him in office.

Even the conservative bloggers gave it that respect.
Takes a true fanboy to dismiss the quality of that presentation. But hey...at least you contributed to the 38 million.

Republicans are willing to SETTLE for McCain.

I'm not saying it wasn't a great speech. OBOMA didn't write it though. He deserves none of the credit.I guess he failed to touch on the massive spending plan he intends to break off in the hind parts of middle class America.

Oh well if the "conservative bloggers" said it was alright then it must've been stellar.Better still: it reflected his campaign:His convention reflected his position very well.
Stylized.

Yep. Very, very pretty.
Not that anything worth getting done got done, and I'm sure there was a massive mess to be cleaned up afterwards, but it was pretty.

Nobody is saying it wasn't great. We are saying Obama didn't write it. I'm sure McCain will have an equally well written speech done for him also.Please Log In to post.
