Come on now...Obama has been saying the same thing for how long? Do you think that the DNC has no faults that need to be "changed"?

All in all I don't think it was a great speech but it covered what needed to be with the time given. He covered government waste and earmarks...something that his record confirms his position. Also regarding the surge, he was for it when it wasn't popular but it did work. The crowd was fired up from Palin and continued into last night. Good convention over all.

Now as for the honesty in "change". When Obama talks of energy he usually puts in the little statement on how our grandparents had to make great sacrifices during WW2 and that we need to do the same. If he was "honest" he'd state that his plan is to rapidly switch us over to alternatives so be prepared at the pump and your energy bill because your going to be paying huge for 5-10 years.

Have a good one!:s4:
