10:50: Obama was right to call for more troops in Afghanistan.
10:48: The real central front in the war on terror is Afghanistan and Pakistan. Yes.
10:46: America needs more than a good soldier- we need a wise leader.
10:44: McCain voted 19 times against the minimum wage! the whoopass has begun.
10:43: Biden is calling McCain his friend. You know the whoopass is aboout to start.

10:25: Biden's son, Delaware Atty General, Beau Biden is speaking and recapping the car accident tragedy his family suffered right before Biden was sworn in to his first Senate term.
10:21: Pelosi returns to introduce Biden. The entire hall nominates him by acclamation.

10:13: Duckworth is hitting McShame on the his opposition to the GI bill. Good for her- McShame's opposition to that bill is one of the most disgusting things he has ever done, in a long political career of disgusting acts.
10:09: Tammy Duckworth is now speaking- she's a double amputee (legs) who lost something like half the blood in her body when her helicopter was shot down in Iraq.

9:49: Torture is not only morally repugnant, but militarilly ineffective-yes.
9:47: Claudia Kennedy- first female 3-star general
9:43: Obama's great uncle who liberated Buchenwald- that's what we call an American hero, folks.
9:41: I love this theme of showing how Obama has basically been dictating US foreign policy since Bush decided that the only way to do anything is to copy Obama's ideas.
