Good Speech Obama

Barack Hussein Obama is probably one of the greatest speakers of the English language alive today.

And he speaks the Queens Language, not ebonics. (NO STUPID SPELL CHECK, EBONICS SHOULD NOT BE CAPITALIZED, IT ISN'T A LANGUAGE, so it shouldn't be capitalized)

It was fitting that he gave this speech on the anniversary of one of the best speeches of all times, M.L.K's 'I have a dream' speech.

I wasn't in Washington D.C. when M.L.K gave that speech, but every time I see the video and hear the audio of the 'I have a dream' speech, I have a tingling from my shoulders up to my cranium, and consider that speech to be one of the greatest American speeches of all times, yes right up there with Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and George Washington's farewell address. I'm not a phony 'johnny come lately liberal', I was working behind the scenes for justice in those turbulent and often violent days of the 1960's, but I did have a chance to witness Correta Scott King speak at Kezar Stadium in San Fransicko, way back then, while her husband spoke elsewhere in the USofA.

No one wrote that 'I have a dream" speech for Martin Luther King, that was from his soul, and I wish I had been there to hear such greatness.

Senator Obama's speech writers are phenomenal at their trade.

But 40 years from now, Obama's acceptance speech in the Hollywood (GREEK?) set at mile high stadium will be no more than a footnote in the history book of the USofA.

Without telling us much about how he would do it, Barack told us he is going to solve all of our problems. No specifics and lots of fluff, and too much arrogance for me.

Here's a good one, Barack challenging McCain to debate? Barack has steadfastly refused to debate or do anything but read speeches someone writes for him. He is extremely fearful of town hall meetings, you know, ones like Bill Clinton mastered; because, without a speech writer, Barack is clueless.

He well might be our next president, but without a teleprompter he speaks like George W. Bush, and can't think on his feet. Overall? A good speech for the ones already on board the Obama Train to equal poverty and misery for all, but it did nothing for me, at all.

And by the way, he stated he will give tax cuts to 95% of us. That is impossible, 50% of American's of voting age, PAY NO FEDERAL TAX AT ALL, and a good percentage of those freeloaders, are given some of my tax money on tax day. Never paid a dime but get a check drawn from the taxpayers wallet. Barack can spin it forever, but I do my own taxes, make my own paycheck, and thanks to the much hated George W. tax cuts, I had about ten thousand dollars more in dollars that was not taken from me by the government in the last four years of the Bush administration.

So if the George W. tax cuts are not renewed, my family will pay more than ten thousand dollars more in the next four years than the last four years.

Nope, I'm not in the top 5%, but I'll still pay more in taxes, much more if Obama is sworn in as our next president.

I am sick and tired of hearing several words......tax breaks for the rich....the richest 5% of American taxpayers pay almost 40% of the taxes the fed's collect. If they decide to leave, close up factories and businesses, the whole amount of tax revenue left to the government would not even pay for 5% of our nations needs.

I don't hate, lie about or envy that 5% of America, I want that 5% to prosper, yes, prosper, so that they can do more good for this nation, and so my paychecks don't bounce.

How many Cuban taxpayers would it take to buy one F18a fighterjet?

I'll tell you, twenty time's more than all of the peons of Cuban socialism make in twenty years.

No, I am not in that richest 5% so why should I care? I'll tell you why, My boss is in that 5%, and if he is taxed more, he might close the doors on a business that is already taxed too much. The reason companies leave the USofA, is mostly due to over regulation and over taxation.

Oh, yes, Obama threw a dime to Union Workers....thanks. I have been a dues paying Teamster for over a quarter of a century, and the plans the Democrats have for my workplace, make me glad I'm on the last miles of my journey in the trucking industry.

Nice fluffy dream Obama, but nothing like the dream Dr. Martin Luther King had.
