"I'm Yertle the Turtle.
Oh, Marvelous Me.
For I am the ruler of all that I see."

In tone, Obama's big speech was small, partisan, often defensive and occasionally snide. "I've got news for you, John McCain," he exclaimed. "We all put our country first." It was a pattern for the night: I'm not weak -- you are the one who hasn't killed bin Laden with your bare hands. I'm not inexperienced -- you are the one who is old and out of touch. None of this assault was made with grace or wit.
And some of the attacks were simply unfair. Is it really credible to blame McCain for a tripling of oil imports during his time as senator?
What does it mean that McCain "won't even follow [bin Laden] to the cave where he lives"
that McCain is cowardly?
that he knows where bin Laden hides, and won't tell the rest of us?
that he doesn't believe in fighting al-Qaeda?
In delivery, of course, Obama was masterfully confident -- which increasingly seems like the self-assurance of a man who believes mainly in himself.
Some illusions have also been lost. For many Americans, the exciting young candidate who won the Iowa caucuses had the promise of being a new kind of politician entirely -- better than and different from the political norm of bitterness and calculation. Those hopes now seem -- in the words of a famous Democrat -- like a "fairy tale." In this convention, Obama "matured" into the spitting image of the typical Democratic politician. And this raises a question about Obama himself. Between Iowa and Denver there is little consistency except talent and ambition. Is there anything more to this candidate than talent and ambition?

What was the reason Obama spoke:"McCain won't even follow [bin Laden] to the cave where he lives"?
Thank you!
You mean delusional?
Only the "Audacity of Hype"...

Well well, from the Washington Post of all places, the first inklings of The Emperor’s New Clothes.
The link isn’t for that article. It is a different column.
Now he is "Yurtle the Turtle."
And all America sees it.
That link goes to an article by Howard Wolfson.
That oil claim was completely illogical.
Can we blame Biden in turn?
1. The moonbat vote
2. The media
3. Soros' money
4. Major electoral fraud in urban areas
5. A candidate who's black (kinda), but otherwise a thoroughly conventional lib Dem.
That's about it.
Save the black candidate, it's what they had going for them in 2000 and 2004 -- certainly no more, maybe less.
Well, who picked Biden?
has anyone seen Obama Revealed on CNN last night?? Interesting.. Could not believe CNN aired it
Grasping at straws BEFORE McCain’s amazing VP announcement!
Now the Democraps are buying depends by the carload! Did anyone else see Kerry on the Stephanopoulos tv show today? It was a mute or puke moment!
Well, Biden has been in the Senate longer than McCain, so he can be blamed if they blame McCain.
Now he is "Yurtle the Turtle."
And all America sees it.
Tell me more.

Well, n00b, your link isn’t correct and we don’t actually appreciate Wolfson at FR anyway.
With both Obama’s and Biden’s liberal ratings being to the left of the senate’s only admitted Socialist, Bernie Sanders, isn’t it time to use the “S” word and call this the Socialist ticket?
Its become an issue on the Obama campaign. Joe and the Bamster do not get along too well. The gals at PUMA predicted that.
That was exactly the picture I had in my mind when I posted.
You been taking psychic pills lately?
Are we related?
LOL.
That pic also is the Dem party, as we speak.
