I wish I had known how many times Michelle Obama was going to use the word "see" to start a sentence, I would have made Jello shots.
I have to say, Michelle Obama's speech last night was pretty damn good. That is one goddamn charismatic family.
And she didn't even mention how much she hates America and/or Whitey even once!
That family is going places.Originally Posted by Scammy Davis Boogah Jr.
She didn't say it, but you could tell she was thinkin' it.
Did Michelle Obama get a scowl tattooed on her face or something. I tuned into the convention coverage during Hillary's speech and Michelle did not look happy once. In fact, her expression could best be described as queasy. Maybe she needs some dramamine.
That said, what's up with Obama wanting to make us the UN's little biotch? I don't want 7% of our GDP being taken by an organization that has shown itself to be as corrupt as the UN is (Guns for Oil anyone?). That and we'd essentially have to give up our second amendment rights...now that's just crazy. To me, any government that doesn't want me to have a gun, is a government I should fear.
...Can we just start the whole candidate selection process over? I'll step in as acting president at the end of GWB's term until we can decide on some viable candidates on both sides, candidates that don't make me want to punch them.

Yea who else remembers that "Guns for Oil" fiasco? What a scandal!
Well, I guess now I know where the 'Fox' in your name comes from.
If you look closely, she was using her eyelids to blink out a message in Black Morse Code that said "Kill Whitey".
I have major problems with both major candidates...Obama's just the one in the spotlight at the moment so I'm picking on him. Just wait till the Republican Convention and I'll have a new list of grievances.
There's a reason I wish we could start the whole process over. I don't align myself with any one party so if one side actually put up a candidate I could agree with, I would vote for him or her. As it stands, I'm looking towards option C, "none of the above."

RUBY RIDGE! NEVER FORGET! WACO! NEVER FORGET! JANET RENO HAS BLOOD ON HER HANDS! Also, I wouldn't elect you president of my ass. You totally ruined that Charlyne Yi thing and refused to own up to it. I don't think you and power would be a good mix.
Well then it sounds like it's time to take your toys and go home.
Any government that doesn't want me to toke up in front of my mom, is a government I should fear, GREASE FOR PEACE
I really could have choked Hillary last night. She compared herself to Harriet Tubman. Harriet. Fucking. Tubman. She's trying to carve herself out as some kind of historical figure, but she's not. I can't believe the DNC allowed her to give that speech. It was so fucking standoffish and divisive when she really needed to suck it up and praise the shit out of Obama.
I am seriously just choosing to view Clinton's speech through super-gay rainbow colored glasses because I really don't have enough room in my head for any more Clinton-related drama and intrigue. I'm also ignoring James Carville, Paul Begala and the other Clinton loyalists when they come out of their hiding holes as their disgust for Obama is barely contained and manifests itself with pouting and critical comments.
Same with Bill Clinton, who gave some weird speech yesterday talking about "Candidate X" and "Candidate Y", which seemd to be a thinly veiled attempt by him to telegraph to his supporters that they should consider voting for McCain.
Anyhow, I believe that Bill will see that the Democrats are going to win this one with or without him and perhaps he will put his ego aside after Obama is sworn in.
MrDys, I think you are underestimating the division and actual hatred that formed between the two factions. Both sides were pretty cruel to each other with the Republicans pretty much playing the high school gossip "did you hear what he said, she said..." to fan the flames as high as possible. Did you see Michelle Obama's face during her speech? Daggers. This is a going to be a real problem if by some strange freak of nature Obama actually takes the White House because he's going to need the Clintons and all their inside contacts to form his administration. He can't use anyone from either Bush admin and most of Carter's advisors are dead or too old to help. I think this is one of the occasions where having Howard Dean as the chairman hurt the party because he is no fan of the Clintons himself so probably didn't do much to push for unity.
I was flipping back and forth and I caught her right in the middle of the "If you hear the dogs chasin' you through the woods, don't ever stop!" part. I thought to myself "I hope the part of the speech that I just missed didn't contain a Harriet Tubman comparison, because that would be CRAZY." I was actually doing the rotating finger next to the head to denote craziness.
That being said, I had no idea the loudmouthed Texan from the Simpsons was governor of Montana.
Does anyone else want to commit violent acts when Hillary supporters say they aren't sure who they're going to vote for?
He didn't need their help to beat Hillary (although to be fair, they helped him in that quest), and he won't need their help to form his own administration.
You are being naive. You have no idea how many jobs they need to fill, considering how partisan the Bush administration has been - pretty much all of them - in almost every federal agency. Just the dept of Justice alone is going to be a monumental task. The only people around who have the experience to be ready on day one are the people who held those positions during the Clinton admin.
Are there any Hillary supporters here who weren't planning to vote for Obama before last night? I'm curious if her speech last night changed your mind, since that was one of its intended purposes. I didn't find it that convincing or genuine (then again that's kind of par for the course for Hillary in my mind), but I wasn't the target audience. The one point she touched on that struck me as persuasive was the whole, "Here are the reasons I ran for President, and that's why I'm supporting Obama."
