Obama surprises Biden with early appearance



Obama surprised Biden by joining him onstage after his great speech earlier this evening. It was a thrilling moment and the electrified audience erupted when Obama walked onstage! Here is the video of the surprise appearance:

Biden continues GOP assault

Democratic VP nominee Joe Biden continued the attack on the GOP at the Democratic Convention, following a terrific speech by former president Bill Clinton. Biden used his time to discuss his affection for his family and middle-class America, then went on to assail the GOP on it's record for the last eight years and McCain on his plans to continue more of the same policies. Watch Biden's speech below:

Clinton indicts the GOP



Bill Clinton did a masterful job tonight of taking the fight to the GOP. As one of the most prolific politicians of the last century, Democrat or Republican, Clinton has the experience and the respect behind the statements that he makes. In his DNC speech earlier this evening, Clinton not only strongly endorsed Obama and vouched for his readiness to lead but laid out many reasons for the country to elect Obama over McCain. You can watch Bill's speech below:

Hillary gets the job done



I have to give credit where credit is due; Hillary Clinton's speech was sensational at the Democratic Convention earlier tonight. She repeated her explicit endorsement of Obama, pleaded the case for Democratic and American unity and took the fight to the GOP. After the first day of the convention, which was largely about Obama's biography and the reasons why Americans should relate to him and his plans for the future, Hillary set the stage for the rest of the week, with Democrats hungry for some red meat. The time for being a diplomat is largely over; the GOP needs to get punched in the jaw. As Hillary said during her speech: No way, no how, no McCain.

Here's is the video of Hillary's speech:

Michelle rocks the DNC



Michelle Obama declared he love for America earlier tonight as she sought to reassure the nation that she and her husband Barack share Americans' bedrock values and belief in a dream of a better future. In the first major address at the Democratic National Convention, Michelle Obama described herself as a daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother, no different from many women. She told a boisterous crowd waving signs reading "Michelle" that she and her husband feel an obligation to "fight for the world as it should be" to ensure the promise of a better life for their daughters and all children.

Her mission was to humanize her husband and convince skeptical voters to look past his unusual name and exotic background to envision him as the next president. Barack Obama has repeatedly faced questions about whether he's a real American.

She also used the address to dismiss questions about her patriotism. Republicans have criticized her comments earlier this year that she was "really proud" of her country for the first time. Her answer at the convention was to express her love of country.

Here is the video of Michelle's speech:

Jodeci's fall from grace...

This is CRAZY. During a recent performance in Australia, K-Ci and JoJo were singing and JoJo passed the HELL out onstage. Not only did K-Ci see him drop and keep singing (instead of helping him), the bodyguard/soundman went to rescue the mic before JoJo! Then he stepped off! What the HELL has happened to my cats?!?
