I have now listened to the intro speeches by (Swift-Boated Multimillionaire) Senator John Kerry and VP Joe Biden the first time around both filled by mistruths, misleading innuendos and down-right lies and just finished watching Obama’s speech and I have heard nothing new and nothing specific or concrete as Obama promised. I will listen to them all at least a couple more times and will then weigh back in. So far… Hope and Change Appears Now to Have Turned to Attack and Blame… Plus Lies for the Flavoring.
And as to Romney and Ryan not having a specific plan? Check out Romney’s website where he has a very specific detailed plan,. Obama had nothing new to say… a lot of repeats and bluster (a rabble rousing campaign speech, not a uniting solutions speech. One thing I did notice is that Obama and Biden ended with exactly the same canned and planned sign off, as well as several of the other speakers today. The negativity, smallness and politics of division and hate coming from this convention both saddens and frightens me.
We are told that Obama already knows the results of the jobs report that will be released tomorrow.
Excerpts Released by Team Obama:
2008 ‘Hope’ seems to have 2012 ‘Hang in There’. Insiders say the speech will be more defensive than offensive and he will try to correct some of his bloopers of the past few week, months and even of the disappointing 4-years for many… And Team Obama has tried to down play the speech as well as down-graded the venue in the past couple of days. And in the end Team Obama fears that all but the faithful will ask… “Why should we believe there will be change in the next 4-years, if you didn’t do and in some cases even try to make this change during the past 4-years?!?
The Obama campaign has released excerpts of the president`s nomination acceptance speech to be delivered at 10pm ET tonight. According to the campaign the president will lay out two choices and several goals for the next four years.
In his speech he will tell voters that the choice will not be between two candidates or two parties, but that it will be a choice between two different paths for America and a choice between two fundamentally different visions for America.
The President will lay out his goals for America on energy, manufacturing, education, national security and the deficit.
The bottom line is that you shouldn`t expect anything you haven`t heard before, including the presidents acceptance speech during the 2088 DNC convention.
Below are the released excerpts from the Obama campaign:
"But when all is said and done – when you pick up that ballot to vote – you will face the clearest choice of any time in a generation. Over the next few years, big decisions will be made in Washington, on jobs and the economy; taxes and deficits; energy and education; war and peace – decisions that will have a huge impact on our lives and our children’s lives for decades to come.
"On every issue, the choice you face won’t be just between two candidates or two parties.
"It will be a choice between two different paths for America.
"A choice between two fundamentally different visions for the future.
"I won’t pretend the path I’m offering is quick or easy. I never have. You didn’t elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear. You elected me to tell you the truth. And the truth is, it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over decades. It will require common effort, shared responsibility, and the kind of bold, persistent experimentation that Franklin Roosevelt pursued during the only crisis worse than this one. And by the way – those of us who carry on his party’s legacy should remember that not every problem can be remedied with another government program or dictate from Washington.
"But know this, America: Our problems can be solved. Our challenges can be met. The path we offer may be harder, but it leads to a better place. And I’m asking you to choose that future. I’m asking you to rally around a set of goals for your country – goals in manufacturing, energy, education, national security, and the deficit; a real, achievable plan that will lead to new jobs, more opportunity, and rebuild this economy on a stronger foundation. That’s what we can do in the next four years, and that’s why I’m running for a second term as President of the United States."
President Obama`s Policy Goals:
Manufacturing
Create one million new manufacturing jobs by the end of 2016
Double exports by the end of 2014
Energy
Cut net oil imports in half by 2020
Support 600,000 natural gas jobs by the end of the decade
Education
Cut the growth of college tuition in half over the next 10 years
Recruit 100,000 math and science teachers over the next 10 years
Train two million workers for real jobs at community colleges
National Security
Invest in the economy with the money we’re no longer spending on war
Deficit
Reduce the deficit by more than $4 trillion over the next decade
Many of the policy goals were promises in 2008 during the Hope and Change campaign. In essence, the speech appears to more of the same. 2008 Acceptance Speech – NY Times
The President will have a hard road to follow after a very powerful speech by former President Bill Clinton. It is well known that the president is a good orator, but will he be able to convince independent voters.
Tomorrow morning the Labor Department will release the job numbers for August. In all likelihood the president has already been briefed on these figures and should they prove positive, he will likely tweak his speech. Republicans will milk the jobs figures for all they are worth.
