5 Brilliant Things Barack Obama Did In His Convention Speech



5 Brilliant Things Barack Obama Did In His Convention Speech


President Obama did a lot of good things in his convention speech, but here are the five brilliant points in his acceptance speech.

1). The Republican Obsession With Tax Cuts

What Obama Said, “Now, our friends at the Republican convention were more than happy to talk about everything they think is wrong with America, but they didn’t have much to say about how they’d make it right. They want your vote, but they don’t want you to know their plan. And that’s because all they have to offer is the same prescription they’ve had for the last thirty years: “Have a surplus? Try a tax cut.” “Deficit too high? Try another.” “Feel a cold coming on? Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations, and call us in the morning!”"

Why it was Brilliant: The President could have made some dry argument about tax cuts, but instead he made a joke that was completely true. No matter what the problem is, the first Republican and sometimes only Republican solution proposed is tax cuts. Obama’s tax cut humor was not only true. It is going to be replayed and repeated for the next 24 hours on every newscast.

2). Mitt Romney the Blustering Bumbler a.k.a George W. Bush

The "tax cut prescription" was brilliant.
I hope they run cuts from his speech all this weekend like they did Romney's rambling stammering crap for 3 days after the RNC convention.
