Although I did not take a trip out to Denver to see this historic convention I did however host a DNC watching party here in NYC at DCTV. 
I’m not going to say anything ill about the speeches tonight…hold on, thats a lie. Why would I even say that right before I’m obviously going to say ill things about said speeches? Was it me or was the speeches lacking charisma? Maybe Pelosi lit the stage up (We we’re watching CNN who decided that looking at Wolf Blitzers mug was way more important than the Speaker of the House..um..well, speaking. Dumbasses) but the people I heard were boring as shit. Ted Kennedy just made me feel bad. Its like seeing your grandfather out and you just really wish he would live his days out comfortably instead of trying to work in the garden Dude, go home. Rest for the love of God. (By the way, who decided that video of him on a yacht was a good idea? We don’t need more cries of privilege and elitism.)
Obama’s sister? Michelle’s brother? Get some speech writers. Fuck that sincerity nonsense. I want to be wowed. I don’t want to believe you sat at home and wrote this. Get a speech coach. You guys are representing more than just your families now. YOU’RE BLACK AMERICA! You didn’t say thing ignorant perse but I would have liked to see the white folks I was surrounded by shocked at the eloquence that you showed.
Jessie Jackson Jr? Seriously Stop bringing up Martin Luthor King. We know. He had a dream. I’m black and soon as he started up I was like “For christ sake”. How awkward must it be for this dude knowing his dad was talking major shit about this dude, and now he has to sing the praises. Oh, and stop preaching. Just speak. Fucking just TALK man!
And CNN, quick question. What the fuck is up with the black facts at the bottom of the screen. Do I really need to be reminded that the first black delegates didn’t show up until 1868? I’d prefer not think of those times. Who the hell thought that was a good idea No, better question, Who the hell o.k’ed that idea? Who saw this idea on his desk and was like “Man, that sounds like GOLD. GET ME SOME NEGRO FACTS IN HERE IMMEDIATELY!”
I will say this. Michelle Obama did bring the goods. I found myself thinking “Man, she’s a better speaker than Hillary by FAR!” That’s gotta sting right? Forget the nominee, his wife is better at hyping people up than you are. Ouchie. She didn’t preach (ahem, Jessie) she just spoke with passion and seemed as if she believed what she was saying and hadn’t practiced it over and over in the mirror (which I’m sure she did, but she didn’t SEEM like it) Kudos to Michelle. She catches a lot of flack but she came off quite well I thought. And seriously, she may be the hottest First lady in 50 years.
I do wish they could have reined in the kids. Somebody cut the Obama daughters mics off! Or atleast the youngest, we kinda have a FRICKEN CONVENTION GOING ON HERE. We’re dealing with sattelites and shit to connect to OBAMA! STOP INTERRUPTING. I assume the conversation in the control booth went something like this.
Control Guy 1: “Dude, the youngest one keeps talking.”
Control Guy 2: “Cut her mic.”
Control Guy 1: “I’m not cutting her mic. You cut her mic. Thats possibly the daughter of the next president. I ain’t doin’ shit!”
Control Guy 2: “Agreed. Let her roll. Hope she doesn’t drop an F’ Bomb.”

I did not think that Michelle spoke well at all, and she continues the Obama method of speaking, stick to the general, nothing specific to be held to.
This was the “We love Ted” night and it showed, imagine having to follow after the most popular Democrat in the last thirty years.
I have to adamantly disagree with you sir. As the wife of the nominee what was she supposed to sink her teeth into? She didn’t break any ground with her speech but the fact is that SHE was giving that speech which in itself is ground breaking. She didn’t sound like a robot or as if she was hamming it up. She spoke well. Perhaps it seemed better to me since i had just sat through her brother, leech, Jackson and the rest of them. I’m sticking to my guns though. She was the most polished of the evening.
