Strong Statements

Say what you will about Democrats, Republicans, the Green Party, and everyone else... you have got to admit that Obama's speech was amazing. In front of a live audience of 75,000 people and millions of Americans watched on television, Obama delivered a wonderfully intelligent speech of hope, change, and reasons why McCain is wrong for this country.

I was not a Clinton or Obama supporter during the primaries. I refused to make a real decision, but I am now sold on Obama.

That being said, my roommate Chris and I wonder if they focus group tested the phrase "Obama Biden." There a very small change needed to make "Obama Biden" into "Osama Bin Laden"

During the biography video shown before his speech at the DNC last night Michelle and Barack Obama spoke about his strange name (Remember too that there are people still worried about his middle name Houssein, and that whole Muslim thing). I think that they are just trying to make it hard on themselves.

Someone must have said, "Hey, do you guys think that 'Obama Biden' sounds a lot like that Osama guy?"

"Yeah, but Americans will not hold that against us."

Are you kidding? As a whole, we are not that smart.

Have you seen "Deliverance?" It's real. There are people out there like that.

Do you realize we elected a C student for two terms instead of two boring orators with spectacular educations?

I guarantee that there will be people who change their vote in the booth because they will see the last names in bold and have a flash back to 9/11 news coverage-- and suddenly Anytown, U.S.A will vote for their crazy old "Grampa McCain" instead of "Osama BinChange a lot."
