1. Feisty and funny

Sounds good to me.

2. You're black, dude

Ever seen a GOP convention? Trying to find a black person there is like trying to find Waldo!

16. Found him! The journalist doing the coverage.

If he's lucky, he won't get harassed like the CNN black female correspondent during Romney's campaign coverage who got food thrown at her and told by attendees "That's how we feed animals." If I were a minority journalist or video crew member covering Republican events, I'd demand hazardous duty pay.

22. He's Black, and from the wrong party. nt

[conservaphobe]

3. "Cynicism is popular these days. It’s what passes off for wisdom."

Love this line as well.

4. Note to Boehner

[sheshe2]

5. He certainly is bigtree!

I didn't see your thread which is awesome!

[n2doc]

6. Hmmm....

[Jamaal510]

23. Whoa, Bush ll looks like a pig

in that pic because of how they drew his ears and nose. All he needs is a tail!

[msongs]

7. nice to see him defending himself instead of trying to get all bipartisan with snakes nt

[RobertEarl]

8. Good stuff

Good to see Obama standing up for himself. Maybe the bi-partisan schtick is wearing thin and he figures he best stand up to the bullies?

[littlemissmartypants]

9. Panache. I love him. eom

[Squinch]

10. Great speech! Kick

[marble falls]

11. The gloves are off and it about freaking time. Best speech ever! In the moment and on point.

[madokie]

13. It was awesome

there are many good quotes to be had and one liners to be repeated in that speech. I loved it
Listened to the last 10 minutes or so a couple times too, parts of it three and four times.

14. Yes sir, there is something there - you are on to something.

When the white guy did it, the M$M screamed with ecstasy and the GOP nearly fell all over themselves with oohhs and ahhhs. When a black guy does it...silence and a cold stare.

But you know...the GOP is not the party of racists, just the #1 party among racists.

[L0oniX]

15. NSS

[treestar]

17. Wonder what that might be

[onecent]

18. Video is not available. Can

20. kick

21. Working fine now in the OP but here it is for you:

Livestreams don't last long. The videos go to the White House channel and remain available.

[Jenoch]

24. 'They had no problem when Bush was doing this. Maybe it's something about me they don't like'

To what is it that the president specifically referred?

[bigtree]

28. the boehner lawsuit . . .
