Hillary's Farewell Speech: Really?

Okay, this is almost too easy. Let's start from the beginning. Did everybody see that movie at the beginning? Good Gravy, that was a proverbial self-pat-on-the-back, now wasn't it? And now, to the meat of the topic, the speech itself.
Oh Hillary, you disappoint me. All week, I heard about the party unity that was supposed to spring forth from this speech. Instead, we got a speech about all how much she accomplished. Sure, there was a little in there about Obama, but it was far more Pro-Hillary then Pro-Obama. Oh, and this leads me on to another portion of the speech: The anti-Republican part.
Now, I know this is the Democratic National Convention, but is all you have to work with the negatives of the Republican Party? The Economy is not bad: it is not falling, it is not in the same spot. It is raising. Not as fast as before (which is why it seems bad) but it's rising. And foreclosures are not Bush's fault. People make Adjustable Rate mortgages and buy houses they can't afford. then they're out of luck when the housing prices change. It's not too complicated. Oh, and why is everything about women? I mean, when is the last time you saw a white-boy college fund? Exactly.
Oh, Hillary, you had so many chances to pull off a good speech, but it wasn't even that great, even without the message intact. Perhaps we have seen the beginning of the Second Fall Of Communism. I guess we shall see.
