Anyone notice the stark contrast between the Hillary and Obama speeches?
Hillary talks about how people were "tricked" into sub prime loans and we (she) needs to protect them. Obama speaks about support, but says, "you gotta earn it... by working in peace corps..."

3. Yes. Obama wraps big-government liberalism in the spirit of American independence.
That's where he gets a lot of his appeal.

5. Tonight, Obama mixed his stump speech with parts of his famous NH Speech.. that's why
he had the teleprompter for backup. He took the stump speech up a notch or 20 ! :applause:

Even if somebody stole your boots.

12. They have different styles
Yes, Obama's a better speaker.

That alone isn't enough by which to choose a leader.

14. They were tricked. They were not aware that the rates would go up
and effectually take over their income.

This is the main reason the US is heading or in a bad recession, the reason the stock market is so unsteady.

The difference in the speeches is the same as always. Hillary talks knowingly about the issues and Obama tells you what you want to hear.

17. the difference between the obama and hillary speeches.....
....I noticed the crowd listening to them behind when they talked.

With Hillary, it was almost all female. And when I watched, the crowd basically dozed off until the applause started, then they yelled and screamed.

With Obama, it was a diverse crowd. And they watched and listened to Obama's every word.

I still have the image of the Hillary young women who were basically dozing inbetween war whoops....
