A very exciting Democratic Convention
filled with rousing emotional speeches by Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, and Joe
Biden. Obama topped off the convention
with a straightforward presentation. This time he left the soaring rhetoric to
others and instead gave a very presidential speech—exactly the speech he needed to give
to build on the previous speeches.
Note: I put the president’s words in
quotes, but I dropped a few words so it would scan better.
It was a great speech. I wanted to stand up and cheer.
ReplyDeleteI did stand up and cheer. I'm very interactive with TV news. I cheer, I clap, I blow raspberries.
DeleteBased on just the first two days Obama has a 5 point bump in the polls. He should get even more when his speech is factored in.
I stood up and cheered too. For Obama, Biden, Michelle, Elizabeth Warren, and Clinton. A couple other women too. Are people really blind? Are they just ignorant? I told some elders the other day when they were spewing junk about socialized medicine that I expected them to give up their Mrdicare or shut up. I'm soooo disgusted with these people. Beth
DeleteGood for you for setting these people who criticize "socialized medicine" straight. Sometimes I wonder if the people who say these inane things can actually hear themselves.
DeleteI choose political topics for some of my poems both because the mission of news print poetry 2012 is to write about the major events of the year, but also because i want to state my opinions. I like to think that here and there I might influence someone.
