I was just too tired last night to write anything and having overslept a little this morning had to haul myself to work. But Barak Obama’s speech was all anyone could ask for. Tough, full of specifics and Presidential. The policy parts reminded me of a state of the union address. And he went right back at John McCain.
I had been one of the skeptics about using a stadium. Was it over the top? Would it be partially empty? No on both counts. I disagree with some critics that the ordinary people who came out and spoke about their problems and why they are supporting Obama were too much like a telethon. The best line was “I’m Barney Smith, not Smith Barney.” The only grip I had was the lack of close-ups of the Obama family and then of the united Obama-Biden family at the end. They seems really far awy on TV.
It is time to get to work to get Obama elected.
