Obama is bashing the hell out of McCain. He's talking like a nominee.

[Occam Bandage]

He was complimentary towards his service, and rightly called him an American hero. Then he started tearing him a new asshole--Iraq, flip-flopping on tax cuts, the deficit, rich/poor, Bush's legacy, everything. Nice.

[Liberalboy]

1. It's nice to see hm take a stand against McCain...

I love the way he delivers his speeches

[Joe the Revelator]

2. He sounds damn good taking that route

I like it.

[Franks Wild Years]

5. He blitzed him. The doddery old man is going to look....

...very, very bad in the debates this year. Mr. 100 Years is done for.

[Occam Bandage]

7. Seriously. McCain is a creaky dear in the headlights.

[roguevalley]

25. the best part of this speech was at the end when he asked people

to do something. people are ready to step up. I thought he gave a great speech.

[Renew Deal]

3. He hasn't focused on Hillary at all.

He's blasting away.

[meow mix]

4. first he thanks him respectfully for service, and then blows the guys guts out.

LOL

[Occam Bandage]

9. And the best part is, he does it all while sounding positive.

[Lisa0825]

16. BURRRRN!!!

says Kelso! :rofl:

[democrat2thecore]

6. His first speech as if HE is the nominee - this is GREAT. -nt

[NoBorders]

8. Now I understand why he rushed through his usual stump points

He wanted to spend time bashing McCain. Good for him.

[alteredstate]

10. Yep --- this is what we want to hear from our future President.

GObama!

[sandnsea]

11. President Obama!!!

I am seeing it more tonight than I ever have.

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Catherine Vincent]

12. Good!

I can't wait for DU to start bashing republicans again.

[thunder rising]

13. And this is how Barack will beat McCain! I look forward to the debate!

[Cant trust em]

14. tearing a new asshole for the new GOP asshole n/t

[Johnny__Motown]

15. Pivots toward "kitchen table issues" and links economy to Iraq War

This is a shot at both McCain and Clinton.


Exactly how to run in Ohio (or for any blue collar state), blame the poor economy on the $3 Billion we are spending on a war that should never have bee waged.

[paparush]

17. Anything about the 1000 years of war? I'm kinda interested interested in that..

being the father of a 13 year old son...

[Occam Bandage]

21. "McCain says we could be mired in Iraq for 100 years, which alone is reason not to give him

four years in the White House."

[paparush]

24. Goddamn! Glad to hear Obama talk like that!

[Eurobabe]

18. He did get a dig in about "giving false hope"

being a "hopemonger." Hope is not blind optimism.

GOBAMA!! Man this speech is awesome.

[apocalypsehow]

19. This is an outstanding speech, and after all his previous great ones that's saying something.

Assuming he wins the nomination, he's going to be a wonderful candidate and a great President.

[mopinko]

20. what a lightweight he is

talking about kids learning art and music, serving in the peace corps. talking about building bridges and hospitals. where are the issues. :sarcasm: in case anyone missed it.

hey that there is christine cegelis behind him in the light blue jacket with the black shirt. isn't it?

[johnnydrama]

22. wait a minute...

What will the hospitals be made out of? Brick? Concrete?

What kind of music? Jazz? Classical?

He never gives details

:sarcasm:

[mopinko]

26. will they have wind? solar?

active or passive. details, details. never any details. you are so right.

[jmg257]

23. From "Yes we can!" to an old man reading a prompter; Obama will clean his clock in November! nt

[Laelth]

27. Reminds me of this picture.

McCain is a slimy, obsequious toad. This was taken after GWB won the 2000 nomination by smearing McCain with a vicious rumor. McCain is little more than token opposition.
