NickDG 23 #1 August 27, 2008 Remember where you were today . . . At 4:48 PM, Mountain Time, on August 27, 2008, the Democratic National Convention nominated Barack Obama, by affirmation, as their choice for President of the United States of America! I'm so very proud of my country! I'm sitting here in tears. What a moment . . . NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites lawrocket 3 #2 August 27, 2008 It is an interesting thing. I am proud of our country for seeing past the color of the nominee's skin. Yet, at the same time, it is an affirmation of the color of his skin. He has set the stage so that in the future it will not be a big deal anymore. And I am glad that he did so without playing the race card (some of you may disagree, but I think he performed admirably in that regard). By the way, I'm still in the air about whether I'll vote for him. His party platform may eliminate my vote. My wife is hotter than your wife.

Guess, it just depends on what you’re looking for, eh? Just watched Rep Patrick Murphy (D-PA, US Army officer retired, and OIF veteran) talk about what he saw as failures of the current administration for the US Army (e.g., the delays in providing body armor) and the failure to find Osama bin Laden. Heard the retired Command Sergeant Major of the US Army Reserves, i.e., the highest ranked enlisted member of the USAR, detail support of Sen Obama. Heard Sen Harry Reid discuss Sen Obama’s energy policy and the failing of Sen McCain’s. Sen Evan Bayh talked about the domestic economy. Former Secretary of State Madeline Albright spoke about first coming to Denver after her family fled Europe to escape the communists, and asserting that Sen Obama recognizes the importance of the past but is not stuck in the past or a Cold War mentality. Now Sen Jack Reed is talking about leadership (a retired US Army Ranger and a paratrooper, who served in the 82nd Airborne Division as an Infantry Platoon Leader) and testifying, in his opinion, to Sen Obama's leadership qualities. Not hearing anyone say anything about race. VR/Marg Act as if everything you do matters, while laughing at yourself for thinking anything you do matters.

I hope I am wrong, but I seriously doubt it. Those of us from Illinois know what he is all about, and it is not a shining example of Honesty, or Integrity.
