My take on Obama's Acceptance Speech

I had seen it last night on TV the whole speech and here is my take:

He is great showman. He had handled it well. That was one extra-ordinary and expensive show he had put together in Mile-High stadium with money he had collected from poor fellows who trusts him. He could have used the money for better cause. A trivial point. The temple stage set at Invesco Field was obviously a knockoff of the Pergamum Altar in the quite wonderful Pergamon Museum in Berlin, put together by Middle East history academicians in the early 20th century. Did Barack Obama have time in his visit to Berlin (when he didn't have time to fly to see the wounded American soldiers in Ramstein) to visit the Pergamon Museum? Just asking. It's something every cultured person should see.

Now about his speech, he was sounded more like broken record, repeating what he was talking on campaign speech. he seems lost and thought he forgot that he was doing acceptance speech and not campaign speech. he did more bush bashing than anything else. Just a reminder, Bush is not running for president. Second most thing he had done is tried to make McCain look bad instead of making him look better. The notion that John McCain is the (90 percent) same as George W. Bush. But that's pretty easy to refute. Temperamentally, on a variety of high-profile issues, McCain has been over many years at odds with Bush. Now that’s how I have perceived his 75% of speech.

Now let us talk his 25% of speech: He had said many things as "I will see X Y Z ..." that reminds me more like "Rajiv Gandhi" X prime minister of India... His favorit words "Hame Dekhana hai"... Just words... Just speeches.
Though the speech was powerful, that I must say. I always say, he is great orator no doubt about that - but he is nothing but empty suit, empty words. he is nothing but opportunistic guy changes his stands as poll dictates.

Now let us see the stands he had changed right in the meeting, right in front of millions of people, he had said McCain's Energy plan of "All of the above" like its his plan. he told he will go for Wind, Cole, Nuclear, Domestic drilling, Bio-fuel. You and I had long talk what was his energy policy and why he thinks, we should not drill here, or why he is not for Nuclear or Coal.... do you remember or forgot all about it... now since he said that its his plan all along.

Another thing he has repeated "Because, in the faces of those young veterans who come back from Iraq and Afghanistan, I see my grandfather, who signed up after Pearl Harbor, marched in Patton's army, and was rewarded by a grateful nation with the chance to go to college on the G.I. Bill." from his speech in 2002.
The senator from Illinois has his own tales to live down as well. For example, during a speech in 2002 Obama gave us a heart-rending story of his grandfather's service in uniform during World War II. "My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton's army," stated Obama. "He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka. He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil, and he did not fight in vain."
All this would be great if it weren't pure fiction. For starters, the Nazis destroyed the Treblinka death camp in 1943 after shooting the last prisoners, a group of Jewish girls. Then there is the problem of the locations of Treblinka and Auschwitz. Both Nazi death camps were located inside Poland. Thus, no American troops ever entered the camps until years after the war was over. Auschwitz was taken by the Soviet Union after the Nazis evacuated most of the prisoners. The retreating Nazis left those too weak or sick to walk behind. The 322nd Rifle Division of the Red Army liberated them on Jan. 27 1945. So unless Obama's Grandfather was working for Joe Stalin, liberating Europe in a Soviet Army uniform, he was not likely to hear stories about Auschwitz or Treblinka from his fellow soldiers.

Another thing, his change of style. he was pretending more of angree-young man than old thoughtful himself which brings him where he is. so not sure at this point what is real OBAMA.
This seems to be more of an indictment of feckless and vacuous media sloth than a reflection of the character and qualities of the candidates.
