Live Blogging the DNC: President Obama
10:24 Michelle Obama introduces her husband.
10:25 Obama tells Michelle he loves her. He gives a shout out to his daughters and jokingly tells them that they have to go to school tomorrow.
10:26 Obama accepts the nomination. Not exactly a shock. The crowd starts chanting four more years.
10:27 Obama: "Hope in the face of difficulty."
10:28 Obama mentions the "political gridlock." Hopefully, Obama has realized the Republicans have no interest in compromise.
10:29: Energy of the speech is sinking slightly. Clinton are Biden raised the bar high.
10:31 Tampa is getting a lot of negative shout outs tonight because of the Republican National Convention.
10:32 Obama scores with a joke on Republicans repeating the same bad policies.
10:33 Obama: "We've been there. We've tried that. We ain't going backward. We're moving forward."
10:36 I heard background shouts of U.S.A. At the RNC delegates would shout U.S.A. when Codepink tries to protest a speech.
10:40 Obama is losing me with bragging about his teaching the test education reform.
10:43 The Republicans have no comeback for Osama bin Laden being dead and Team Obama is going to beat them with it.
10:45 Ding! Pander to Israeli hawks.
10:45 Obama is zinging Romney for his hysterical foreign policy blunders.
10:47 Obama is hitting his stride now.
10:49 Obama points out that Romney's deficit reduction plan based on more tax cuts and military spending makes no sense.
10:50 Obama vows not to turn Medicare into a voucher system.
10:51 Obama zings Romney on his comment on getting money for college by borrowing from your rich parents.
10:53 Obama mentions gays in his speech.
10:54 Obama: "We have responsibilities as well as rights."
10:56 Obama is putting it in second gear.
10:57 The line about standing up to lobbyists would be more convincing if Obama didn't take campaign money from Wall Street and drug companies.
