Selected Speeches from 2008, and Obama’s 2004 Convention Speech

I always like to read the texts of speeches. For one thing, they load well on dial-up. For another, new meanings and better understandings arise. I like to compare them. Just for fun, when you read these, search the texts to see how often they use buzz words. Try union, labor, worker, education, teacher, family, etc. See if the presidential nominee actually addressed your interest, or let someone else say the words. So, for your use, here are several of the DNC convention speeches: (more…)

Tuesday night my Hubby and I were getting ready for his hernia surgery, so I didn’t get to do much more than watch the Convention on PBS. I do want to mention a couple of things, however. I don’t recall ever having a well-spoken sister give voice as character witness to a presumptive nominee before. David Brooke said again that Obama needs to tell the voters who he is. DAVID, WE KNOW WHO HE IS!!! What a truly odd thing that we voters must again be subject to the homilies of family, when what we want is to know once and for all whether “Hope and Change” has any sort of resonance beyond the fairy tale Camelot Re-enactment. It isn’t so odd that the Obamacons object to the critics. (more…)

As Darraugh Murphy said, We ARE the ones no one was expecting!

Riverdaughter articulated the idea well with her inaugural article in June:

If accomplishments and events are markers for our life, it seems like this weekend is a good time to put a few together in one list.

Puma PAC and coalition members have assembled in Denver. Activities and links to other groups can be found on the I Own My Vote, Just Say No Deal, Puma Pac, and The Denver Group websites. Offices are set up, and media in the ready, on site bloggers are active NOW. The organization of these groups, assembled since June, is testament to real grassroots, and not the Obama AstroTurf to which we have been subjected the last several months. (more…)
