I thought that the Democratic National Convention was incredible. There were some amazing speeches and they all propelled enthusiasm and excitement toward Barack Obama. When it was Obama’s turn, he did not disappoint. There were 80,000 listeners present and millions more watching from home. His acceptance speech was inspiring, hopeful, and genuine. He is ready to be our President of the United States.
This is Barack Obama:
Newsmax said that he “body slammed” McCain. This is a great reaction from Conservatives. Obama had a formidable opponent in Hillary Rodham Clinton. I thought it was an exciting, hard-fought contest.
This is Hillary Clinton:
This is Sarah Palin:
There is no comparison and this is an insult to women. You can read about McCain’s joke here, here, and here. She is anti-choice.
The Republicans are thrilled because this is a distraction from the incredible 4 days of the Democratic National Convention. ‘Everyone forgot that it has ever happened!’ they cheer gleefully. We did not forget. On November 4, 2008, we will not forget as we elect Barack Obama to be our President.
The campaign to stop the presidency of Barack Obama reached a new low today with the announcement that John McCain has selected Sarah Palin, a white woman, to be his vice-presidential running mate.
As a further insult, McCain referred to Palin as being the “next vice president” of the United States as if Barack Obama did not exist or won’t be winning the election this November.
The use of Palin as a political tool is racist and a direct attack on Senator Obama. It is an attempt to reinvigorate the old stereotypes that African men (or Negroes as they were called) are lustful creatures who eye white women as sexual prizes to be claimed.
It is also attempt by McCain to get Senator Obama killed. In many U.S. states it is still illegal for any African man to look at, touch, or speak with a white woman. McCain is trying to set up a circumstance where Obama would do one of the three with Palin in one of these states and have him imprisoned or lynched.
In addition, McCain does this just as a Hurricane is bearing down on New Orleans which was attacked by the Bush regime’s Katrina in 2005.
