Barack Obama Speaks to America

ASSI - According to the Associated Press (AP), - Barack Obama's audience for his acceptance speech likely topped 40 million people, and the Democratic gathering that nominated him was a more popular television event than any other political convention in history. There were 84 thousand people in attendance at Barack Obama's acceptance speech including Oprah Winfrey who was captured drying her eyes, it was obvious she was moved to tears from the well written and delivered speech of the Democratic Presidential Nominee, Barack OBama.

The weather was perfect, the audience was in high spirits, and the many guest speakers set the stage for Obama to come out swinging and that he did. He spoke about the issues that concern many of the American people: the economy, the oil and gas prices, education, and a universal health care system that is desperately needed in this country. He spoke about an effective and responsible way to end the war in Iraq, he spoke about family values, and his commitment to ensuring that middle class families are able to take care of their families, taxing corporations, giving tax breaks to small business owners, and increasing minimal wages the things that have negatively effected this country.

However, everyone does not agree with his policies some think they are unrealistic and that he lacks the experience to execute, but based on his passion and desire to ensure the American economy is better than the last eight years seem to be enough to hear him out and give him a chance. The republicans claim he lacks the experience, but they appear to lack a platform that will move this country forward instead they are instilling fear in the American citizens with talk of keeping the people safe, as if the Democrats are willing to allow terrorist to invade this country and put our people in danger. Obama who is more American than most seems to have what it takes to dig this country out of the whole that George Bush has dug and placed the middle and working class people in, and McCain wants to place the rest of the dirt on top to close the hole. The Republican National Convention is next so please be sure to tune in and hear what John McCain has to say, will it be more or the same old politics?
