Assignment 2 Borner

1.38 Million View Obama’s Speech; Highest-Rated Convention in History
-This article was very interesting. I find it hard to believe that Obama's speech is the highest-rated in History because to me it seems like there have been a lot of talk about other presidents before him. It is crazy that his speech alone got more viewers than the opening olympics, last show of american idol, and the grammys.


Obama Lands in Denver
-Obama stated in this article that he was very concerned about how to better the lives of middle-class families. He was not concerned for a lot of high rhetoric. It is very cool that the democratic convention was held right here in Denver. Obama practiced his speech right in Invesco field, right in our backyards. I really wanted to go see the convention but did not have the chance too.

DNC- I did not really pay attention to the DNC all that much. This is because first of all I will not be 18 to vote in the election so I won't have any affect in the election. Also I am just not really interested in politics because they bore me. That is pretty much why I just don't watch any of the convention.
