===August 31===
Presidential nominee [[Barack Obama]] accepted his party's nomination Thursday at the [[Democratic]] convention. The night started with a tribute film to Senator Obama, with some of his most influential mentors - [[Jeremiah Wright]], [[Tony Rezko]], and [[William Ayers]] noticeably absent. Then the freshman Senator from [[Illinois]] took the stage, and wasted no time going on the attack of President [[George W. Bush]] and Republican candidate [[John McCain]].

'''Democrats Meet in Denver for Day 3 of Convention''' 
Many high profile [[Democrat]]s met in [[Denver]] Wednesday for their national convention, where [[Barack Obama]] finally won the delegates to become the Democrat nominee, and would later make a short [[cameo]]. Former President [[Bill Clinton]] spoke and [[Endorsement|endorced]] Senator Obama's presidential [[campaign]], saying "Barack Obama is ready to be [[President]] of the [[United States]]." This is surprising, since Clinton once said about Obama, "When was the last time we elected someone President based on one year of service in the [[Senate]]? In [[theory]], we could find someone who is a gifted television commentator and let them run. They'd have only one year less experience in national politics." [http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/12/interview_with_bill_clinton_1.html] [[Delaware]] Senator and [[Vice President]]ial nominee [[Joe Biden]] gave a much anticipated speech. Biden did not stick to the beliefs he had just a year ago, when he said about Obama, "I think he can be ready but right now, I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training." [http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/08/23/mccain-launches-tv-ad-using-bidens-words-against-obama/] Biden also criticized [[Republican]] candidate [[John McCain]], although this was probably difficult, since he once said, "John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend, and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off."

'''Day 2 of convention, August 26th''' 
Delegates see if Democrats speak a different tone about [[Barack Obama]]. [[Governor]] [[Ed Rendell]], D-[[Pennsylvania]], spoke last evening, who once attacked Obama for saying that people in Pennsylvania are "bitter" and "clinging to their [[gun]]s and [[religion]]." [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnEKUl0zs_g]. 
[[New York]] [[Senator]] [[Hillary Clinton]] spoke, who once said, "Senator [[John McCain]] has a life time of experience that he will bring to the [[White House]], and Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002. It's imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander in chief threshold. I believe that I have done that and certainly Senator McCain has done that. You will have to ask Senator Obama with respect to his candidacy." [http://www.gop.com/NEWS/NewsRead.aspx?Guid=27ba407b-7d06-438c-b74b-5fdfbe4c2210]

The Netroots: America And [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]] To Blame For [[Russia]]'s War Of Aggression.

[[Liberals]], being liberals, make certain assumptions when it comes to foreign affairs. Among them are,

1) Whatever happens in the world, if it's bad, must somehow be the fault of the [[George W. Bush|Bush]] Administration and/or America.

2) Any country that is allied with America, by virtue of being allied with America, must be in the wrong if it gets into a conflict with a nation that is not allied with America.

That brings us to Russia's war of aggression on Georgia. Russia has spent years engineering this conflict, cared nothing about the civilians it killed, and aimed to thwart democracy, intimidate other free states in the region, and to destroy an alternate route for oil outside of its borders. There were no good intentions, no higher purposes -- just the Russians attacking a smaller, weaker neighbor because it was to their advantage and no one was in a position to stop them.
