The Democratic National Convention: Referendum on "The Dream" -- Day 3

This is so true about the changes that this will make. My mother just got back last night from a 14 day Mediterranean cruise and she said that all people are talking about in Europe is Barack Obama. They love him over there. We all know why we just don't get it over here. Makes me a little sad to think about all the talent that had to go to Europe to express itself. Think about Josephine Baker, Tina Turner, and Chaka Kahn, to name a few. If you think our world standing is bad now, you ain't seen nothin yet!

Let me wrap this up with these remarks from Bill Clinton. Say what you will -- about Bill being angry, or not supportive. I beieve that his speech tonight solidified the Democratic fatihful behind Barack Obama. Consider these remarks.

Bill Clinton said it, "Barack Obama is ready to be President of the United States."

"He has a remarkable ability to inspire people, to raise our hopes and rally us
to high purpose. He has the intelligence and curiosity every successful
President needs.His policies on the economy, taxes, health care and energy are
far superior to the Republican alternatives. He has shown a clear grasp of our
foreign policy and national security challenges, and a firm commitment to repair
our badly strained military.

"Barack Obama also will not allow the world’s problems to obscure its
opportunities. Everywhere, in rich and poor countries alike, hardworking people
need good jobs; secure, affordable healthcare, food, and energy; quality
education for their children; and economically beneficial ways to fight global
warming. These challenges cry out for American ideas and American innovation.
When Barack Obama unleashes them, America will save lives, win new allies, open
new markets, and create new jobs for our people."

Bill painted a vision of this new leader for our nation as only he could do. He set the table for a fantastic speech from Barack Obama tomorrow night.
