    Our country got our people BACK from the moon!
    Obama is about Americans Suck First! I don't recall NASA or the astronats having much to do with Bill AyersI, The domestic terrorist. There's not social or literal equivalence here at all.

      For just a brief moment, I turned on Faux News after the speech and could feel all the positive energy being sucked out of my body by the negativism and hopelesness of the commentary. but I saved my soul by quickly switching to C-span. I fully appreciate the role you have to play in this little conservative vs. liberal game you have been condemned to play, but, man, it must suck to be you...

        You should try PBS....

        People - conservatives and liberals - actually talk without resorting to one-liners and name calling...EVEN WHEN THEY DISAGREE.

        There's also no ticker or pop-up video bubbles--I didn't like 'em on VH1, I absolutely LOATHE them on Network Op-Ed -- err, I mean "News".

    Howard, this was historic and I am voting for Obama. But you and MSNBC's version of Dumb and Dumber were over the top tonight. Your buddy Keith is about the most biased news host for a convention that I have ever seen. He is ruining that network and NBC, and he is tainting you.

    HAVING BEEN A BLOGGER FOR A RELATIVELY SHORT TIME, I WOULD IKE TO SAY WE ARE IN FACT A COMMUNITY OF INDIVIDUALS AND A FAMILY OF SORTS.

    DIFFERENCES EXIST AS IN EVERY FAMILY; YET, WE SHARE OUR OPINIONS WITHOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

    HAVE A GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE !

    Wow - thanks to you for an honest assessment. If you open your heart it was truly magnificent.

    Search you will find. The same money machine which worked for Obama stands to gain from him. From what? from his sleazy promise of going energy "independent" by investing 150 billion into renewable energy market. Who are these people behind obama, the same people from the time of Silicon Valley Internet boom, which left millions of retiress poorer exactly by the end of Clinton Era. So if it was internet bubble at the time of Clinton and oil energy bubble with Bush Cheney. ... wait till you see the next bubble.... with the pumping of 150 billion dollars into sham projects. I just have to post this theory since that is one way I can keep my consceince clean. Thank you. I don't mind if Republicans run with this idea and revelation.

    You are correct Howard. Unfortunately for you,there were people known as ''journalists'',when Neil Armstrong set his foot down. Almost forty years later,you are not one of them.

    Now that HE has been croned it may be time for exposition. Please google: Obama's money machine and we will find how his team successfully raised enormous amounts of money through internet scheme and bundlers all under the radar.

    It's not the fact that he is with in a fingers touch to be elected but more the fact that he has come this close. I proves one fact, that is raical issues have been colapsed enough to the point that we could have a historic President. As it was once said "History is made every day someone just needs to write it down."

  • Posted By: A Liberal Socialist @ 08/28/2008 9:09:02 PM

    I feel that not only is it the color of his skin but also the fact that this shows that the racist bacround of blacks is colapsing, that is what is truly going to make history.

  • Posted By: Dartay @ 08/28/2008 8:47:01 PM

    FIrst of all, the history should NOT be the color of his skin. (He's half black anyway) His social status is not a poor black man from the Bronx. He is a well educated Ivy League graduate with a colorful muliticultural background. THE HISTORY SHOULD BE that NO Political background is necessary to be a Presidential nominee, just have a talented campaign manager great at manuevers.
