Am I troll if I write that was an awful speech?

I'll give him credit-- he *can* give a great speech, even when he says things I disagree with (which is about 95% of the time).

But even by those charitable standards, what a lousy speech. The first half was all attack-- and not in a classy, subtle, "draw distinctions" sort of way. The second half was all over the map liberal cookie-jar promises, most of it things the government *can't* do (let alone *should* do), the rest of it so expensive it'll make the last eight years a model of fiscal discipline.

Very, very disappointing. Good for Democrats who hate George W. Bush (who, again, is NOT running for reelection this year)-- not good for independents who wanted something new.

Bad speech? Are you cracked?

"Bad speech? Are you cracked?"

I don't think that I am. What I do think is that a speech that mentioned John McCain 20 times is a little obsessive. (for comparison: George W. Bush mentioned Al Gore once in 2000, and George H.W. Bush didn't mention Dukakis at all in 1988).

It was a very mean speech, and it spoke about an America that doesn't exist. Whatever problems we have, they're not unique-- it's the usual cyclical "bad patch" this nation has every ten years or so. And even than, it's so bad that the *economy keeps growing* (depression? It's not even a recession!).

Barack Obama may have once been a candidate of hope and change, but tonight, all I heard for nearly an hour was doom and gloom and fear-mongering of big, bad evil John McCain (you know, the same guy that John Kerry wanted as his running mate in 2004, and Joe Biden is friends with. . . THAT terrible, evil man).

Lousy speech. I'll stand by it, and give it a few days to sink in-- I expect louder voices than mine will agree.

Nice fancy show, however.

People see what they want to see. He attacked my guy so I have to discount his speech.

And before you say it, Obama is not my guy, but I enjoyed his speech. It wasn't same old same old.

See you in St Paul.

Yeah, but how many times did he refer/allude to Clinton (who, again, was NOT running for re-election that year)?
