Democratic National Convention thread

[Perknose]

Here's the man. A good man, and a MAN in every sense of the word, not a petulant, divisive, rich kid bully like the Donald.

The pundits will rate this speech soon enough, but if you want to see why this man is our President, listen to him being our President when our country really needed a MAN like him most.

It will be sad when he's gone as America is unlikely to do as well as him again any time soon. I imagine five or ten years down the road even conservatives will be able to admit that.

I do admire Obama's ability not to troll Trump much until his campaigning speeches if I were Obama I'd use every possible trick to mess with Trump, IRS, AG stuff, I'd pressure state people to inspect his buildings and be ruthless, I'd be on every news cast asking where Trumps taxes are, I'd have state cops stop his limo at every opportunity, I'd get airports to delay his landings I'd do it all face to face with people too.

Great speech by a great man. This is how a POTUS acts, behaves, talks... Trump can not hold his or Hillary's jock strap. Sit back down at the kids table Trump, you and your TrumpTards have been summarily dismissed by the adults...

 

[DougK62]

We're going to miss Obama. This man gets it, and has been a President that I'm proud of. He made some great remarks to try and bring disillusioned Republicans in to the fold.

Obamaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

Great reference by Obama.

Teddy Roosevelt - The Man in the Arena

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

 

[evident]

Going to miss Obama

 

[Perknose]

When he mentioned Trump there were boos.

He responded, "Don't boo! Vote!"

Going to miss Obama

The United States potentially could go from class to crass

I am not an Obama fan but will admit that I thought he gave a great speech. Then at the end HRC came out on stage to join him and spoiled it. I just can not stand this woman.

She reminds me of Violet Beauregarde

 

[Perknose]

I LOVED honest to the bone, plain spoken Joe Biden saying that Trump saying, "He cares about the middle class. Give me a break. That's a bunch of malarkey!"

I oppose term limits for the President. If Americans believed in Bill Clinton, they should have had him. If they today believe in Barrack Obama, they should have him too.

Great reference by Obama.

Teddy Roosevelt - The Man in the Arena

Stunning speech by Obama.

President Ron Paul knows that Internet commentators are good representations of the country at large.

On a separate note I just saw that hilarious burn on Trump by Bloomberg. I'm not even kidding, that is a great campaign slogan. 'Let's elect a sane, competent person.' It's so obvious that Bloomberg has zero respect for Trump's supposed business skills.

Funny how a licensing guy, who has made minimal capital investment in his platform that still looks like a 1990s shitbox, has anything to say about somebody else's licensing business.

Don't get me wrong, I like my BBG terminal, but FFS, get a goddamned modern GUI you greedy jerk.

I oppose term limits for the President. If Americans believed in Bill Clinton, they should have had him. If they today believe in Barrack Obama, they should have him too.

So what? It's not likely to change. I don't think any person should bear the responsibility & stress of being president for more than two terms.

I don't care for Trump but I'm very glad you're not in a position of authority.

Stunning speech by Obama.

Obama knows how to do a speech.


I also have to agree with the PBS/NPR reporters covering the convention. The dems have had 6-7 A-A+ speeches.

lol @ all the sheep getting misty eyed over Hussein.

Oh and Bernie said fuck you to the cronie dems and left the party.

 

[umbrella39]

Imagine the odds...

Get the sand out from your vagina.

Insofar as business ability goes I'd say he can say as much as he wants as not only has he made far more money than Trump ever has, he made it all himself. No inheritance from daddy needed, no inherited connections, etc. Bloomberg is basically the thing that Trump continually pretends to be.

I imagine a Trump terminal would have a fantastic looking UI, although probably nothing else about it would work, haha.

Bernie was only in it for the chance to win the election.

No worries about F Meat. Just be sure to make your vote count against the one guy running who would do, or try to do, all of these things if he became President.

Oh and Bernie said fuck you to the cronie dems and left the party.

Yet Bernie has been in the audience every night.

I don't comment much on convention speeches because I view it all as political theater. But damn, I have to say, that was a great speech. The contrast in this election couldn't be more stark, the core messages more opposite.
