Can someone tell me what is more inane about the beginning of this 
speech than any of the other convention speeches?
It just seemed like standard US political stuff to me.
I've said lots of shit about Obama's fans being delusional when they 
talk about profound change coming from a centrist Dem but CB seems 
correct here.
Slamming this speech as more inane than any other just seems silly.
