Watch how Biden points out the Republican silence on jobs, schools, healthcare and environment.
The issues that MATTER! A very good speech.

obama acceptance speech 1/3 of the Obama acceptance speech was McCain/McCain policy bashing. Yes, it has been timed. One third. So when Obama complains that McCain didn't discuss issues, but instead bashed him, then Obama is just being a whiney baby.

What I find interesting is how the media kept wringing their hands that the democrats weren't attacking Bush and Republicans enough. Than they got all offended when Republicans attacked Obama in their convention. Another example of the total bias we have to deal with.

If you would have quoted me three words more, then you would have heard me say that it was just fine and to be expected. So, no whining here. And I wasn't speaking specifically about McCain, I was speanking about the whole GOP convention as a whole, they could have atleast took responsiblity for the economic crisis we are in and said they were going to fix it, but what we heard least of is economic policys.

You and others here must have watched a different speech than the rest of the country did.

McCain discussed choice for education, choice for health care, energy independence, national defense and other issues. I would have to say that after watching both speeches, I think Obama spent more time bashing and less time discussing policy than McCain did.

I can’t blame him though. On issues alone, Obama loses big-time.

Yes, McCain said the words "education and health care", but didn't say HOW he was going to accomplish anything. He said stuff like:


"We need to shake up failed school bureaucracies with competition, empower parents with choice."


Uh, okay. How do you do that? He didn't say. Most of his speech was general, superficial talking points.


"My health care plan will make it easier for more Americans to find and keep good health care insurance. "


Okay, cool. HOW? *crickets*

RNC Speech

Here is HOW Obama will address education"


I'll invest in early childhood education. I'll recruit an army of new teachers, and pay them higher salaries and give them more support. And in exchange, I'll ask for higher standards and more accountability. And we will keep our promise to every young American - if you commit to serving your community or your country, we will make sure you can afford a college education.


And health care:


Now, many of these plans will cost money, which is why I've laid out how I'll pay for every dime - by closing corporate loopholes and tax havens that don't help America grow. But I will also go through the federal budget, line by line, eliminating programs that no longer work and making the ones we do need work better and cost less - because we cannot meet twenty-first century challenges with a twentieth century bureaucracy.


DNC Speech

THAT'S what I mean when I say they didn't address their plans. It was all fluff, no substance.
