Points on Obama "Preach"

[autigeremt 6,717]

I noted a few areas that need to be pointed out. Here are the list of items I took as notable. You can read the entire script by using the link.

Obama Speech

#1: I honor, we honor the service of John McCain, and I respect his many accomplishments, even if he chooses to deny mine.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE????? Obama, answer that one with proof. No contest with that statement.

#2: It’s not change when he offers four more years of Bush economic policies that have failed to create well-paying jobs, or insure our workers, or help Americans afford the skyrocketing cost of college, policies that have lowered the real incomes of the average American family, widened the gap between Wall Street and Main Street, and left our children with a mountain of debt.

This will get old in a hurry. Un-Employment is at 5% right now. The "debt" that he describes is the spending spree that McCain has already pointed out as a No-Go for he and his campaign. No more spending. He has been against Bush on this from day one, and he has went head to head with Bush more than Obama has. It doesn't stick, but they will drill it in the ground.

#3: It’s not change when he promises to continue a policy in Iraq that asks everything of our brave men and women in uniform and nothing of Iraqi politicians, a policy where all we look for are reasons to stay in Iraq, while we spend billions of dollars a month on a war that isn’t making the American people any safer.

It appears that this statment is no longer true. Iraq is taking control of it's country, and the change in direction, led and supported by McCain, has worked to this point. As for America being safer........can't recall an attack on this soil since 9-11.

#4: I won’t stand here and pretend that there are many good options left in Iraq, but what’s not an option is leaving our troops in that country for the next hundred years, especially at a time when our military is overstretched, our nation is isolated, and nearly every other threat to America is being ignored.

What in sam hill is he talking about? The 100 year thing is pathetic. It's been made clear many times that McCain was relating it to the deal in place with Korea and Europe. And when have we ignored the other threats out there? Unless Obama is preparred to invade Pakistan, I see no other threat ignored?

#5: It’s time to refocus our efforts on Al Qaida’s leadership and Afghanistan, and rally the world against the common threats of the 21st century: terrorism and nuclear weapons; climate change and poverty; genocide and disease. That’s what change is.

Change, Minnesota, is realizing that meeting today’s threats requires not just our firepower, but the power of our diplomacy: tough, direct diplomacy, where the president of the United States isn’t afraid to let any petty dictator know where America stands and what we stand for.

Hey, I'm all for going after Al Qaida....but like I have said before, are you willing to invade Pakistan for it? And the last part there has to be a mis-spoken moment, because it's almost as if he is for the removal of a petty dictator (hmmmmmm......Saddam ring a bell?)

#6: John McCain has spent a lot of time talking about trips to Iraq in the last few weeks, but maybe if he spent some time taking trips to the cities and towns that have been hardest hit by this economy — cities in Michigan, and Ohio, and right here in Minnesota — he’d understand the kind of change that people are looking for.

I'd like to know where the respective states have been for their own? Socialism once again here. At least McCain is focused on a group that Obama is not......the uniformed military and their hard work.

#7: That man needs us to pass an energy policy that works with automakers to raise fuel standards, and makes corporations pay for their pollution, and oil companies invest their record profits in a clean energy future, an energy policy that will create millions of new jobs that pay well and can’t be outsourced. That’s the change we need, Minnesota.

And maybe if John McCain spent some time in the schools of South Carolina or St. Paul, Minnesota, or where he spoke tonight in New Orleans, Louisiana, he’d understand that we can’t afford to leave the money behind for No Child Left Behind; that we owe it to our children to invest in early-childhood education; and recruit an army of new teachers and give them better pay and more support; and finally decide that, in this global economy, the chance to get a college education should not be a privilege for the few, but a birthright of every American.

Like I have said......WILL THE NEW SOCIALIST STATES OF AMERICA force companies to do what the government wants of them??? I mean, this is a slippery slope here.

Where will all this money come from to fund this "army" of teachers and "birthright" college education? I'd like to know how much money I will have left to pay my bills with after this enormous tax increase. Socialism again. FORCE THE PEOPLE TO RELY ON THE GOVERNMENT.
