LOL... comment!

[Lerkfish]

1. feed the cuberats, please

not all of us have access to televisions.

[K Gardner]

13. Obama is now responding live on MSNBC. I'll have to catch up.

[hokies4ever]

15. Obama giving one of his best speeches yet

He's on fire! He obviously got a lot of sleep last night or something. I joined in mid-speech. It focused on Iran and blasted McCain and Bush for their inept leadership with their foreign policy. Had a few lines in it that will be repeated by the MSM no doubt. Switching over to economic issues now. Very receptive crowd in Montana. Almost as much clapping as Obama speaking. :patriot:

[Rageneau]

26. ANOTHER one?

Seems as if every day he makes another of his 'best speeches yet.'

Funny, but when I watch or listen to him, the only reaction I have is, "What an amazing grasp of the obvious! When will he say something I haven't heard before?"

[hokies4ever]

28. Few people say that about all of his speeches

Plus you are judging a speech that you haven't heard. That's the definition of prejudiced ignorance.

[iconicgnom]

31. well, no doubt his speeches don't resonate in an impenetrable skull n/t

[CottonBear]

2. Please provide commentary and details of what is being asked and said. n/t

[goclark]

5. Bomb Bomb is "talking tough" and telling Obama

he has "reckless judgment" regarding Iran.

Says he doesn't have the "experience" for Diplomacy.


Obama Spokesperson is responding with clarity.

9. Thanks! I don't have TV or a computer at home so I rely on the NYT, the internet & DU for news! n/t

[hokies4ever]

10. Isn't that the definition of a low-information voter?

:sarcasm:

Just messing with you. By the way, I commend the rejecting and denouncing that you did for your mistake in your post a couple days ago. :patriot:

[CottonBear]

25. LOL! and thanks!

:hi:
Not having TV (even a bunny ear antennas) has really helped me and my boyfriend to be more productive. I can watch internet streams and YouTube at work. I'd LOVE to have a video Ipod to watch and listen to radio (Randi Rhodes and Miker Malloy) and political TV shows when I'm not at work. I lost my computers and TVs in a divorce and haven't really missed them! (I couldn't afford the cable and internet bills anyway!) We may get a computer and internet at home sometime this year.

29. I tried to go without a TV in college

but caved after 1 week, hehe. My dorm had cheap dial-up and it was a pain just to check the weather on the internet sometimes. I'm in my late 20s now and still can't believe life with just dial-up internet. It's better now because you can just use youtube or other internet sites to watch any interesting videos that you miss (e.g. Keith Olbermann).

At least you didn't lose the picture of that beautiful horse in your signature. He can steal the TV and computer but he can't still your joy. :patriot:

[CottonBear]

30. The horse is my mares's (Cotton's) sire. He's a real mover, isn't he!

Yes, life is possible without TV! ;)

[hokies4ever]

11. cnn.com has a live feed of Obama right now

Blasting McCain about Iran. VERY EFFECTIVE!

[hokies4ever]

12. Great line:

paraphrased: "When McCain was busy supporting a wreckless war, I was busy securing loose nuclear weapons around the world."

[goclark]

16. Obama Blasted Bomb Bomb

all the way to Iran ~ he wore Bomb Bomb OUT today! :bounce:

Wish I could give a link because Obama was on FIRE today.

[hokies4ever]

17. cnn.com has a live feed of Obama right now

[goclark]

19. This speech really took it to Bomb Bomb

It is a must see!

[CottonBear]

27. Thanks! n/t

[QueenOfCalifornia]

3. This is sure

to make it to the greatest thread.

What is this about?

I love the in-depth reporting ReverendDeuce.
:rofl:

[Mz Pip]

4. Okay, here's my comment:

:wtf:

[Elidor]

6. I'm too busy CALLING FUCKING CONGRESS to comment!

RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

[helderheid]

24. !

:spray:

[Zachstar]

7. Cool! More talking points!

Every time McCain opens his mouth. We gain more talking points!

[flpoljunkie]

8. Accompanying him for this "economic" speech is none other than Joe 'Likudnik' Lieberbland.

Zell Lieberman

Posted by Joe Klein

Can there be any doubt that Joe Lieberman will be the Zell Miller of this year's Republican Convention? Here he is smearing Barack Obama re Hamas. He is entitled to his views about the Middle East, but for the past five years he has taken those Likudnik views a step beyond propriety--saying that those who disagree with him (i.e.--the Democratic Party, which nominated him for the Vice Presidency in 2000) are counseling "defeat" and "surrender." And now this.

I wish Blitzer had been a bit more dogged and asked: "What could you possibly mean by that, Senator Lieberman--and please be specific. Why do you think Hamas "favors" Obama over McCain? What are you implying here, Senator? And were you worried about Obama's Middle East policy positions when he came to campaign for you in Connecticut?

p.s.--Last night I saw a preview of the terrific HBO movie "Recount," which is about the battle over the Florida vote in the 2000 election. Lieberman makes a particularly unctuous cameo, in which he knifes the Gore campaign in the back. I gave Lieberman the benefit of the doubt against Ned Lamont in 2006, even though I disagreed with him about the war. I shouldn't have.

Joe-mentum: Actually, my esteemed colleague Michael Scherer got there first on the Zell Miller analogy more than a month ago.

18. Joe Lieberman wasnt to be the next Dick Cheney

I'd respect him more if he'd just join the GOP already. This 'Independent' thing is absurd.

[goclark]

32. He is such a kiss up

I bet they really dislike it.

[ErinBerin84]

14. one thing that McCain always does is attack

Obama's "souring rhetoric" or whatever. What the hell was his "things I will have accomplished at the end of my first term" speech from last week? McCain's economic and foreign "policy plans" are pure rhetoric.

[hokies4ever]

20. Obama attacked that speech very effectively

I thought it was a brilliant move by McCain's camp at first. Allowed him to flip-flop from 100 years to 5 years, all based upon some hypothetical vision. Obama called him out on it though, so it backfired big time. Now McCain looks like a naive politician with soaring rhetoric, which is what he was trying to paint Obama as.

[ErinBerin84]

22. yeah, I saw it.

Obama was awesome. I just wish that the pundits would pick up on it a bit more. But, I think Obama's defense , which really looked like offense last week, spoke for itself! Lawrence O'Donnel was talking about that McCain speech last week and said "One criticism that people have to politicians making promises in speeches like that is 'yeah, in your dreams'. Well, the only reasoning that McCain gave to his speech afterwards was "yeah...but..but..this is in my dreams!" Haha.

[PoliticalAmazon]

21. My, he IS limber for a man his age, isn't he? n/t

[hokies4ever]

23. Perhaps his most scathing attacks on McCain yet

McCain's camp has to be a little worried about this.
