Oh… And, his preacher-mentor-father figure is a black liberation theologian who hates America and whitey.
On a year when the presidency was being offered to them on a silver platter…
After 54 hard-fought contests, they just nominated the weakest candidate.
Congratulations Democrats!
Hope and Change wins out…
(Messiah Watching America– Abe Obama- Ace)
Sweet… Obama just offered his speech tonight to his ailing white grandmother under the bus in Hawaii.
He must think he needs her now that the primary is over.
Tonight Barack Obama accepts the Democratic Party’s nomination.
Barack Obama lost South Dakota tonight but the party superdelegates put him over the top.
Obama’s Speech from the Minnesota Convention Center, June 3, 2008, is already posted via Drudge Report.
Here are a few lines:
I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.
I want to thank every American who stood with us over the course of this campaign — through the good days and the bad; from the snows of Cedar Rapids to the sunshine of Sioux Falls. And tonight I also want to thank the men and woman who took this journey with me as fellow candidates for President.
At this defining moment for our nation, we should be proud that our party put forth one of the most talented, qualified field of individuals ever to run for this office. I have not just competed with them as rivals, I have learned from them as friends, as public servants, and as patriots who love America and are willing to work tirelessly to make this country better. They are leaders of this party, and leaders that America will turn to for years to come.
That is particularly true for the candidate who has traveled further on this journey than anyone else. Senator Hillary Clinton has made history in this campaign not just because she’s a woman who has done what no woman has done before, but because she’s a leader who inspires millions of Americans with her strength, her courage, and her commitment to the causes that brought us here tonight.
We’ve certainly had our differences over the last sixteen months. But as someone who’s shared a stage with her many times, I can tell you that what gets Hillary Clinton up in the morning — even in the face of tough odds — is exactly what sent her and Bill Clinton to sign up for their first campaign in Texas all those years ago; what sent her to work at the Children’s Defense Fund and made her fight for health care as First Lady; what led her to the United States Senate and fueled her barrier-breaking campaign for the presidency — an unyielding desire to improve the lives of ordinary Americans, no matter how difficult the fight may be. And you can rest assured that when we finally win the battle for universal health care in this country (and we will win that battle), she will be central to that victory. When we transform our energy policy and lift our children out of poverty, it will be because she worked to help make it happen. Our party and our country are better off because of her, and I am a better candidate for having had the honor to compete with Hillary Rodham Clinton…
What you won’t hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge, and patriotism as a bludgeon—that sees our opponents not as competitors to challenge, but enemies to demonize.
Blah… Blah… Blah…
There is more here.
Read the rest- It’s pure snake oil.
God bless America.
UPDATE: Obama gaffed on the number of primary contests- It was 56 not 54.
Here’s another Obama gaffe from his speech.
Michelle Malkin offers a video of what Republicans can expect for the next 5 months.
Glenn Reynolds has a roundup.
Let Freedom Ring has more on McCain’s speech.
UPDATE 2: Joshua offers this to Democrats on this historic night–
Your party is about to deliver a Communist supported, Marxist supported, Racist supported candidate for the general election. The fact that you can be proud of this speaks loudly just how low the Democrat party has sunk.
None of us fear what may happen. We are simply the Watchers on the Wall warning the people. People once fell for the fiery oratory of another socialist zealot in the past too. He changed history forever as well. His arrogance much like your candidate. He was bitter, anti-semite who played on the emotions of people to hate business.
The only difference this time around is your candidate put a mask on and turned his anti-semite stances off to get elected. But he remained at an anti-semite church for 20 years.

Stand for him all you want. But he will only bring disaster to this country and around the world for free nations. Every single tyrant from Iran to Venezuela will rejoice if he wins.
If this is what you truly live for then why not move to Cuba?
