Obama's Nomination Acceptance Speech

If you watch Fox for news and Comedy Central for comedy OR believe Barack Obama is an Unpatriotic Marxist Muslim Hopemonger not born in these United States of America, Either your brain or your parents have failed you ;) reading further could only help! for hard words, use google on the series of tubes we call the internets!

Barack Obama's Nomination acceptance speech tonight was concise, informative, and very forward looking.

The Pundits are saying he should be more hard hitting against McCain, and I agree for some individuals he and the democratic party must do this. But for thoughtful and intelligent citizens, he just has to list out what he is going to do and how compared to what McCain wants to do. Which he has done extensively. Those who say he hasn't either haven't read his material or haven't listened to Barack Obama.

He obviously understands that we need an aggressive revolution in our educational system and energy framework(by implementing renewable energy acquisition/distribution networks, especially solar power).

I also like how he said that improving our education system doesn't just involve increased funding of our public schools (increased salary and affordable teaching technology can do wonders), but also the involvement of parents in their kids' life. A child in an environment that celebrates ignorance and induces children to watch tv for 4+ hours a day will create zombies of apathy who allow power-hungry ultra-religious(as in abolish separation of religion/state) nut jobs to get into office. When will they learn separation of religion/state is there to protect religious freedom.
(note: all science-fiction or political satire is exempt from this as it induces thought and invention ;)

For specific implementation details of all the plans Obama has laid out. see their official document below.

I would like to construct a small budget analysis for at least 2 major components of Obama's planned policy below (education,energy). note: we could have been doing this for the last 8 years.

Current Bush Executive Governmental Body:
- Iraq war: 200 billion/year

Under Obama led Executive Governmental Body:
-Continued American Elite Forces in Iraq: 10 billion/year
-Education Reform: 10 billion/year
-Energy Reform: 15 billion/year

Also, here are some weekly/monthly pod casts that Obama would do to help inform people of policies and decisions he was making and WHY.

my background: I am a computer scientist who graduated college after being raised in the foster care system. Individuals who devoted their lives to the foster care system placed me in loving homes. I agree that sometimes people are in really shitty situations, and "have no boots to pull themselves up with". Having a government implemented safety net allows those individuals to succeed and contribute back to society.

I also agree in the belief of the individual and the responsibility one must take for him/herself in order to improve one's own state of being (as well as those around them).

I am excited about Obama not because of his speeches, but because of the policies he has laid out, and the thoughtfulness with which he has done so. (the podcasts are great if you aren't into speeches)
