After listening to Michelle Obama’s speech once and reading the transcript twice thereafter I can help but wonder how small a man George Bush is (remember “mission accomplished”!) and how did we tolerate him in our living rooms for eight years. Also, I always thought that McCain was man of character but his recent negative campaign against Obama makes me think that he is no different from George Bush Sr. of Willie Horton fame and George Bush Jr of swift boat fame.

Michelle Obama’s speech was wonderful and well delivered. The Obama children were typically cute and outspoken in their love of their father. McCain’s attack dogs can’t find any ammunition to use against Obama form last night’s speeches.
The man of character and maverick of the GOP has become a barking dog and has not only lost his vision for America but is blinded by Corporate America.
The “New” message is the “Lost” message of working America. WE need jobs, health and prosperity for the “Everyman” and not just the few “select” of the power mongers.
If you believe in America you can change America. If you can change America you can build an America you can believe in.
