Imagine how great it would be to have a Kennedy back in the White House. But as things have turned out, she did a great job introducing her uncle, Teddy Kennedy, at the convention last night. And wasn't Teddy great too? Imagine having a brain tumor and still getting up there and making a great speech and rousing the faithful with the hope that he'll lead the fight in the Senate next year for universal health care.
I thought it was great how Caroline enumerated all the great things her uncle has fought for and won us all over the years,
Medicare, voting rights for minorities and women, etc. That's the type of thing we all need to do when the other side starts in on how liberals have "destroyed" the USA. Liberals built modern America and we all, even the conservatives, have benefited from all those liberal programs they say they hate, programs like Social Security, Medicare, workers comp, etc, and it's high time we keep reminding them of it.I loved Michelle Obama's speech. She cut through all the bull jive in the nicest way possible to show why she her family deserve to be in the White House. I can't wait to hear how FOX news spins her into being an angry black female after that speech. She was the epitome of the loving/caring/nurturing mother/wife figure. She wasn't the cold, rich, out of touch, husband stealing, platinum blond heiress who owns seven to ten houses and flies around on a private jet and also was hip deep in the Keating Five scandal and who stole from her own charity so she could buy drugs like some other presumptive nominees wives I could mention but won't.
All in all it was a little bumpy the first night at the convention and there were a few missteps. The choice of a few of the speakers was questionable and the timing of things needs to be refined but nothing was as bad as Jim Leach. Holy shit Iowans, you elected that boring man to Congress how many times? Next time I have insomnia I'll play his speech from last night and it'll put me right out. Holy crap, I feel myself slipping into a deep sleep just thinking about it..............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Sorry. I nodded off for a minute. I need to run, I've got to gird my loins for night number 2 of my mostly pundit free, I'm watching it on C-Span, 2008 Democratic Convention.
