Senator Obama, now the official nominee of the Democrat Party, made his aceptance speech in Denevr last night. Instead of a class act nominee with eloquent speech, he used the time for more of the tired rhetoric of bashing his opponent, Republicans and even traditional America.

Some excerpts from his acceptance speech,

Senator McCain likes to talk about judgment, but, really, what does it say about your judgment when you think George Bush has been right more than 90 percent of the time?
~~~~~~~~~~~
The truth is, on issue after issue that would make a difference in your lives — on health care, and education, and the economy — Senator McCain has been anything but independent.

He said that our economy has made great progress under this president. He said that the fundamentals of the economy are strong.

And when one of his chief advisers, the man who wrote his economic plan, was talking about the anxieties that Americans are feeling, he said that we were just suffering from a mental recession and that we’ve become, and I quote, “a nation of whiners.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t believe that Senator McCain doesn’t care what’s going on in the lives of Americans; I just think he doesn’t know.

Why else would he define middle-class as someone making under $5 million a year? How else could he propose hundreds of billions in tax breaks for big corporations and oil companies, but not one penny of tax relief to more than 100 million Americans?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For over two decades — for over two decades, he’s subscribed to that old, discredited Republican philosophy: Give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You know, John McCain likes to say that he’ll follow bin Laden to the gates of Hell, but he won’t even follow him to the cave where he lives.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
if you don’t have any fresh ideas, then you use stale tactics to scare voters.
If you don’t have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from. You make a big election about small things.

In response, Senator McCain said the following,

I think it is obvious who has the class in this campaign.
