EastRiver, the omission sent a message to me that didn't rest within what was written. But you're too esoteric and smug to give a fuck regardless.

dooWOP is a ridiculous, bigoted troll who probably gets his/her jollies from instigating conflict because that's the only way that he/she gets attention in life. It must be a sad, angry existence.

"now, it has nothing to do with his political colleagues Kwame Kilpatrick or Sharpe James." The listed individuals appear to be "colleagues" of Obama simply because they share a party and they share a skin color. It's quite suspicious that you also happened to choose two "colleagues" who have been indicted (one of whom was convicted)....

"I find it hard to believe that the DNC let the Clintons eclipse their fucking presidential candidate in this thing." Unlike previous primary seasons where one candidate ran away with most of the states, this year's primaries were hotly contested and the party was left with a great divide. There is no way they could pull off the convention without letting the Clintons sing a farewell song and give their blessings to Obama on the biggest national stage. It will be interesting to see if the Clintons will continue to lend their support loud and clear.

as opposed to republicans, which do what exactly, takethecanoli Did you even read his statement or did you just reflexively fire off a retort? It seems pretty clear what he was saying.

I'm surprised no one took Biden's presidential ticket seriously. As for Obama, I still don't trust him - now, it has nothing to do with his political colleagues Kwame Kilpatrick or Sharpe James.

"I find it hard to believe that the DNC let the Clintons eclipse their fucking presidential candidate in this thing." Tonight is the candidate's night, and he will address 75,000+ people. The Clintons haven't eclipsed anyone. Obama gave them a venue for their swan song.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss... At least the dems are nice enough to kiss you before they fuck you. What's worse? A man who blatantly lies to you so badly that he can hardly keep a straight face, or the one that does it so well he could sell ice to eskimos?

If Obama had entrance music (which would rule) what would it be?

Bill Clinton got what he came there for- a sloppy, prime-time lap dance of shreaks and applause. Which will be tarted up and resold as "unity."

It was so tight when Obama showed up - like the WWE sans the entrance music.

I didn't think Biden's speech was that good--his delivery was off. Also, it's hard following Bill Clinton, who still is an amazing speaker.
