What's with the weird intonations that Obama is using in this speech.

Does he Smell what Barack is cookin'?

 

[Tobor]

Who does Obama believe created the world?

And the concentration camp stuff is FUD.

Do you not see the difference between Christians and Evangelicals?

 

[perfectchaos007]

sounds like the path to the white house to me

Did I ever say he had a chance at the Whitehouse? No. You said he had no chance to WIN any state. He absolutely does have a good chance, no, GREAT chance to win a couple states.

 

[Ether_Snake]

I missed the speech. Someone post a YouTube link NAO.

 

[Shawnwhann]

Obama is in his element.... he gives a speech unlike anyone I've seen before...

 

[VanMardigan]

Dude gives legendary speeches. And now he has a bigger audience than ever. He's GOT to be the Democratic candidate, right?

Oh, this is the moment where it all began? That's EXACTLY what Huck said. :lol

There are far worse people to take charisma lessons from...

 

[Goreomedy]

SHE'S AN EXPERIENCED SENATOR, BITCH!!!!

:lol

Never thought I'd be Stinkles' straight man... or anyone's.

 

[VanMardigan]

Do you not see the difference between Christians and Evangelicals?

Of course I do, but it has nothing to do with the post I was responding to about the wizard.

 

[Mason]

He's repeating a lot from that earlier speech you all loved. I always start to cringe when he brings up the Civil Rights Movement. People say he's good at avoiding playing the race card, but he comes dangerously close to eluding to it sometimes, and I think he should steer clear.

 

[Stinkles]

:lol

Never thought I'd be Stinkles' straight man... or anyone's.

The writers' strike has made fools of us all.

 

[Mifune]

Holy shit, that was a stirring speech.

 

[Hootie]

Holy shitstains this is epic.

 

[Amir0x]

well that was fun, hope the momentum carries

 

[sprsk]

Booo, I wanna hear the speech too.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Oh, this is the moment where it all began? That's EXACTLY what Huck said. :lol

Yeah except Obama said it about 100000% better

 

[perfectchaos007]

Joe Biden is out now!!!

CNN

 

[Matt]

Biden is out.

 

[speculawyer]

And the concentration camp stuff is FUD.

No 'concentration camp' . . . but he did say:

Huckabee, as a Senate candidate that year, told The Associated Press that "we need to take steps that would isolate the carriers of this plague" if the federal government was going to deal with the spread of the disease effectively. "It is the first time in the history of civilization in which the carriers of a genuine plague have not been isolated from the general population, and in which this deadly disease for which there is no cure is being treated as a civil rights issue instead of the true health crisis it represents," he said then.

And he recently stood by the statement.

He has tried to dance around it by saying that we didn't know much at the time but in 1992, we did know that casual contact did not transmit the disease.

 

[HomShaBom]

Biden had a good run.

 

[Tobor]

What a great speech. Fantastic.

And cut to Biden.

 

[harSon]

God damn this man can do a speech.

 

[SleazyC]

Man that closing line was epic. Great job by him + his crew.

 

[Absinthe (Permed)]

It looks like Huckabee is going to get my vote. I can't see anyone on the Republican side beating him. Even Romney couldn't beat him with his ridiculous ad campaign. No one on the Democrat side impresses me.

 

[npm0925]

Now that was a speech.

 

[Diablos]

I don't recall any point in time I ever thought Bush had anything resembling good leadership skills.

Of course you didn't. I just meant that you don't necessarily have to have 25+ years experience if you are smart enough to seriously surround yourself with good, experienced people -- not a bunch of corrupt assholes like Bush did.

 

[B.K.]

Joe Biden is out now!!!

CNN

CNN just announced that Dodd is out too.

 

[siamesedreamer]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck...now that's a speech.

Is that his stump?

One thing I like about him is that he actually appears to want to work with the REPs. I see that lasting about 2.5 seconds, but it sounds nice in theory.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Where's Biden wtf, in a cave with Osama? The video quality was horrible

 

[Bezz]

Im voting for Obama!


FUCK exxon mobile, lets set on fire their oil and steal all their money. KILL THEM ALL!

 

[VanMardigan]

Yeah except Obama said it about 100000% better

He sure did. Rocked the house, and this was his biggest speech yet. He looked, dare I say........presidential.

Spoiler

so did Huck

Did you see the Obama speech? He made Huckabee look like a midget.

[siamesedreamer]

Do you not see the difference between Christians and Evangelicals?

You might want to look up the definition of evangelical.

 

[theBishop]

I hope Biden's "Obama's one clean negro" gaffe doesn't discount him from vice president consideration.

 

[MassiveAttack]

True. I like Biden a great deal.

 

[Incognito]

Wow, great speech. I had two Republican friends over and they remarked after his speech that if they were Democratic and on the edge, his speech closed the deal. "Made everyone else look like amateurs."

Obama! Fired up!

 

[sprsk]

Anyone who votes for Huckabee is subhuman in my book. Are you people insane? Seriously. Do you want to destroy America?

 

[npm0925]

Now Chris Matthews is switching from Hillary to Obama. Fucking bandwagoner.

 

[harSon]

Fucking amazing. For a second there I thought he had won the presidency, I can't even imagine how powerful his speech will be if he does indeed win it.

 

[speculawyer]

No. Not at all. How is being a Christian equal to being a Muslim basher? That's quite the stretch.

Religion in inherently devisive. If you go around pushing Jesus, you are essentially saying "You Muslims, Hindus, atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, etc. ARE ALL GOING TO HELL!"

 

[Tobor]

Why hasn't Fred Thompson dropped out yet?

 

[Stinkles]

Take Jesus into your heart and shut the fuck up.

 

[Gary Whitta]

I was impressed when I thought he could play guitar, but I see now it's just a bass. Pffft.

 

[Branduil]

Hyperbole much?

Why hasn't Fred Thompson dropped out yet?

He forgot that he was still running.

 

[Absinthe (Permed)]

Did Edwards really finish second? Holy shit.

Huckabee used to be a preacher (or maybe he still is) which pretty much locks him in the South. I can't really see Obama winning a single southern state. He's running against a white male right winger. They'll line up for Huckabee in droves.

 

[speculawyer]

I hope Biden's "Obama's one clean negro" gaffe doesn't discount him from vice president consideration.

Secretary of State? Biden is good on foreign relations.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Getting a surprising third in Iowa keeps him in it.

is that why you're voting for Huckabee, then?

 

[MassiveAttack]

They don't consider throwing America deeper into the intellectual abyss an act of destruction. Besides, banning all abortions, teaching creationism in public schools and fighting religious wars across the face of the planet is just what God wants.
