Very powerful acceptance speech and well staged theatrics. Have not voted for a Democrat in a presidential election since George McGovern in '72, but am going to keep an eye on this guy with the funny name.

David Brooks of The New York Times has a hilarious column this morning, worth going out and buying the paper. Its a tongue in cheek poke at campaign speeches, just a sample:

It’s about the future, and Barack Obama loves the future because that’s where all his accomplishments are.

We meet today to pass the torch to a new generation of Americans, a generation that came of age amidst iced chais and mocha strawberry Frappuccinos®, a generation with a historical memory that doesn’t extend back past Coke Zero.

I like John Kerry! He's a smart man and was able to answer questions during the presidential debates, on topic, without sounding canned - like every answer was the same regardless of the question! (unlike DUH-ble-yah)

Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq

I know it is very popular to say Bush did not have congressional approval to use military force in Iraq, but, it is a bit revisionist. The above link is the White House link to the approval and you will see it happened in November 2002.

This is the kind of stuff that I hear from liberals everyday. (Not trying to pick on you James) This is their outlook on our great nation. Is this what you want to vote for? It's always complaints, never solutions...oh wait, I do remember a couple of solutions.

The World hates us - So lets give them money, food, clean water and talk with the poor terrorists.

Oil Crisis - Lets all ride around on bicycles and protect the spotted turtles, instead of drilling for our own oil.

Mortgage crises - Lets give more loans to the underprivileged even though they don't deserve it or have any way to pay it back.

Katrina - yeah, the gov't should rebuild every single persons house that was destroyed by a natural disaster that happens every freakin year!!! Oh wait, I forgot, Bush snorkeled down and blew up the levy himself. I'm not sure what kind of people stand on their porches screaming for the gov't to come get them when they have 2 legs, but I assure you, they are not hard working folk!

Prescription Drugs - Free Health Care for everybody...woohoo. Nothing like the DMV running heathcare.

Gas crisis - See above. Also, lets have the gov't MAKE everybody drive around in an unsafe tin box, but hey, it gets 30 mpg.

Health Care - See above. Hilary has our answer to that.

American Dollar crisis - I'm not sure what the Dems solution for this one is.

Middle East Crisis - Lets sit down with the poor little terrorists and discuss why they want to obliterate western society. After that, we'll have tea and strumpets.... or roach legs or whatever the freakin dirty bassturds eat.

Yeah, but hang in there...Obama is coming to socialize everything and stick for you underdogs against the rich evil Republicans!

Finally some change...I'm tired of the phone ringing all the time with people wanting me to do work for them, I just want to sit back and enjoy life, they should pay me for that. After all, I'm 31 and I've been paying into Social Security for a long time, they owe me!!!

Mike & Ant, just want to ask you a REAL question. I know you all always state socialism. But whats your views on health care? I feel its broken to some extent. Its costing more & more every year, less and less companies are offering it to workers even if they pay into it, unlike in the past where many companies have offered it, there are more & more people that dont have health care. The more we privatize it the more expensive it seems to get

How can it be fixed?

I know many say if you cant afford it oh well. well we, this country isn't going to tell millions of people screw you you cant have health care if you can't afford it, so what happens they go to hospitals which cost more and they get it free to them, but it raises all our rates and makes it more difficult for the average person or company to carry health care. what can be done

I know some of it is frivolous lawsuits, but many of these lawsuits aren't frivolous. There are many that should be compensated if they are damaged, killed by a bad doctor or mistake. There are hack doctors just like there are hack pressure washers.

All the cost of health care isn't the fault of lawyers either. I get Nexum, its a drug that has been on the market for years, I am sure the research & development of it has been paid for for some years now but if I had to buy it with out insurance it would cost me $364 a month for 60 pills, I also take Lipitor and that without insurance would cost almost $200 a month and I just started taking another medicine that would cost just over $400 a month, I just checked into this because I had to buy some because I forgot my medicine when I went on a little vacations and the pharmacist told me the prices. I ended up just buying a few pill till I got back home

Theres over $950 each month I would have to pay and there's many that have meds that cost more than that. How can people afford it? I need these medicines if I dont have them, I could have more health issues that would require even more expensive treatments later or it could contribute to me dieing earlier. No Nexum I could get cancer quicker cancer treatment.

If it was just a couple million people without health care I would say we can absorb it, but there is what 40, 45, 47 million people now without health care and at least the bottom 50% of people in this country could never afford full premiums that would be charged to have health care.

Lots of health care cost are because heath care companies charge American more than other countries, so we are actually paying for other countries to have lower or no cost health care to some degree

We cant just let 47 miilion people, then 50 million , then 71 million people have NO health care, it ends up costing more & more that way. Or we are paying for all the illegals to have free heath care and please just dont blame the democrats for letting all the illegals in, Prez Bush himself wants open borders so its a dem & republican thing

I just dont know what to do, how do you solve it?

Please dont say oh well screw them or tell to get a higher paying job, there will always be poverty, a lower class, middle class & upper class. If we don't have a strong health care plan and coverage soon enough only the upper class will have heath insurance. And I don't feel bad for the health care industry or insurance companies they always make very good profits

How can it be fixed???? Are we not our brothers keeper.

Jeff , yesterday while I was working out at the Gym I met the owner of a Business who thinks if Obama becomes President ? It will be like having a Terrorist or the Devil in charge of the American people and the down fall of the world(the Apocalypse). These thoughts started to make me nervous because this was the only focus of the conversation. It was like talking to someone from a Cult or was possessed . I finally realized I was talking to a Ultra Conservative Right Wing Republican Religious Zealot.Talk about Scary, other people working out started to get nervous from over hearing this conversation.
