I am awaiting the President's acceptance speech with as much anticipation as I am awaiting his victory in November.
Great idea! Looking forward to this evening. I have finally gotten that "wonderful feeling" I had the last election about Obama!!! Will do whatever I can in my power to get him elected.
Stick a fork in the Republican's they are DONE!!!!
Rock the Vote - OBAMA - BIDEN 2012!!
God is good! Let us go out and get people registered, correct misinformation on a one-on-one basis, not be babies when things do not seem to go the way we want, and go vote.
Let's bring this home!
4 more years!
President Obama is going to have to get his 'game on' tonight. It's going to be hard to top Bubba-licous Mania. Then again, he's is the only one that can.
4 more years! I hope the debates go well for Obama and Biden. This election is the Republicans to lose but it looks as though they are doing just that. I am still worried about the money Romney has to spend on bull@!$%# negative adds.
Fired Up, Ready to Go.
according to the former gov. of michigan Pres. Obama saved every job that had anything to do with the auto industry. well tell the 200 people in biloxi ms that lost there jobs today from the casino industry. that if they worked for the auto industry they would all still have jobs. and do any of you Dems. have any idea what is in the healthcare laws. everyone keeps saying we'll see.
Actually, it's quite clear what's in the Affordable Care Act. You can find timelines, features, and the full act on the "healthcare" website, OR ask the millions of seniors that have already benefitted by the closing of the "doughnut hole" in Medicare, or the thousands of young adults still on their parents plans, and the millions who will no longer be restrained by "pre-existing" conditions ( e.g. Being a woman).
Feigning ignorance is a stupid form of cynicism. In fact, it's unAmerican. Time to grow up kids.
Fired up and Ready to Go! Fired up and Ready to Go! I can't wait to hear MY President!
Fired up and Ready to Go. How is this going to affect the average American family! This is what makes MY President tick!
Health care dead beats have to step up and pay. My wife and I have struggled for years to provide our own. This year we got a 200 check back and much more manditory coverage. Dead beats need to worry.
Senator John Kerry blew the doors off the convention center with his speech and was followed by a video tribute to the military and their families narrated by Tom Hanks. The RNC had nothing, absolutely nothing like this. The GOP's time has come and gone.
OBAMA / BIDEN 2012
Derek
I totally agree with you!
Osama bin Laden is Dead and General Motors is Alive! My President did that!
They're behind schedule. Will the networks stay with this if it goes way past 11?
4 more years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4 MORE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a true inspiration to our nation the President made ME feel so important and all of us are in this together!
Move Forward thru more hope!! Finish the change!! --I'll be there in the morning--but I don't need to take two tax cuts.
Fired Up!! Ready to Go !!
My President did a wonderful job as usually, getting ready to do my work again I registered 122 last time my game is 244 this time, oh I am 69!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the United States have the Coolest President Ever...
So what did 5 trillion dollar give us tax payers?
A dead terrorist and an automobile company that still owe the tax payer 25 billion
for 5 trillion you could have offered 1 trillion reward on that terrorist and he would have been dead in a week that leaves you 4 trillion want to know how many new automobile companies you could build for 4 trillion
I think you need arithmetic classes. You're very good at sophist rhetoric, though. You must have learned from the master of lies, Rush Limbaugh?
If no one would turn in bin Laden for $25 million, I really don't think the would have for trillions. Money didn't mean anything to Al Quida.
Thank God I live in the United States of America. Thank God for Pres Obama. Thank God for Vice President Biden. Proud to be a Democrat and part of OFA.WY.
So many great comments for Pres Obama, would like fave you all, but my Internet connection takes a minute for every click. so I'll just read them. We the People! Thank you to those who support Obama for America!
The democrats did a wonderful job in Charlotte. Now lets hope the people of this country are ready to recommit to four more years of progress.
Make sure to vote democrat down the line. We certainly don't want four more years of republican obstructionism....
