We all know by now that Barack (or Barry) Obama accepted the nomination to be the blue party's candidate for President. Old news. Boring.
After the confetti, 84,000 plus inspired individuals marched out of Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium ready to change the world. For many after that speech, anything seemed to be possible. Though, apparently, Democrats were so busy getting ready to tell the world what they were going to do and how it will be so much better with them in the White house, that they failed to plan an exit strategy to get out of Mile High Stadium.
I was part of a mob of thousands tearing down barriers of fence to get out of the area and get home. As this was being done, I proclaimed, "Tear down this wall!" – alluding to President Reagan's famous line when the Berlin Wall fell. We finally conquered the barriers only to find armored SWAT officers on the other side dumbfounded.
Did not Mr. Obama just say that he had a "responsible, safe exit strategy" for Iraq? How can we trust him to safely bring our soldiers home from Iraq when his own supporters are trampled and forced to escape his own convention here in America?
Burned. Ouch, that must hurt.
