Yes. Even Peggy Noonan, expert speech writer had Joe Scarborough in hysterics when she was reviewing it.

She said, "well....it was [the/or better than]....usual when they tell about somebody who has a two headed baby and they're using him for a bowling ball....or they drag out this young mother who's feet are exploding..."

Joe Scarborough was laughing so hard he couldn't talk and they had to go to commercial...........

So yeah, weak on content and Playing good cop, bad cop, good cop ....typical Obama....doesn't know who he is as a person.

Here goes OBAMA IN HIS ANNOINTING SPEECH:

“That’s the promise we need to keep. That’s the change we need right now . . . let me spell out exactly what that change would mean if I am president,” Obama said. “Now is the time to change our bankruptcy laws.... "

Here goes OBAMA in 2005 about the bankruptcy bill to make it harder for people to file:

I opposed them both. I think they were bad ideas, because they were pushed by the credit card companies, they were pushed by the mortgage companies, and they put the interests of those banks and financial institutions ahead of the interests of the American people. And this is typical.”

HERE GOES BIDEN ABOUT THE BANKRUPTCY BILL:

THE ONLY ONE OF THE CANDIDATES WHO PUSHED FOR IT
AND VOTED FOR IT BECAUSE OF DELAWARE HEADQUARTERING ALL THESE CREDIT CARD COMPANIES.....OLD TYPICAL BIDEN, best buddy to Barry now.......

BUNCH OF PHONIES..........

there's plenty to read online about it...but JOEBAMA knows that Boobus Americanus is too apathetic to catch their lies and inconsistency so they have the nerve to INSULT OUR INTELLIGENCE right in the Messiah's acceptance speech.

Bunch of losers not paying attention we are in America.

Here's a quick explanation:

I dare any of the bots to pull up Kerry's or Gore's acceptance speeches and tell me they sound exactly the same as obama's.

Translation - just your typical big government pandering liberal democrat speech.

How can demos be so blind...

Yes...Worse, he is a Marxist believing that the working class/underclass is a victim of the upper class, fueling a class warfare mentality a la Rev.Wright, Bill Ayers and the crazy priest.

Any more questions, Genius? I'll gladly edjumacate you some more.

capital gains tax isn't a tax on the rich. it's a tax on all of us.

How many of us make more than 500k on a sale of our house? How many of us have homes even valued at 500k? Oh...I forgot about all of McCain's middle-class buddies that aren't quite making 5 million and can't be classified as rich.
