The press wants everyone to be specific in their speeches at the RNC, putting the listener to sleep with the details.....giving the press something to make fun of.
Everyone knows you can't spell everything out, there is always something you will not be able to cover.....and our wonderful press will mention that, but they overlook the fact that Obama advertized that he would be specific in his acceptance speech and that his speech for the first time would be a "Conversation with the people".
Obama didn't get specific on any issue. What he did was do what he usually does. So Obam lied.
What struck me was how Obama supporters said that Palin used personal attacks against Obama. I guess the fact that Obama has no experience and no accomplishments worth noting feels personal. I would be embarassed too.
