He’s making John Edwards sound like Newt.

1. Who cares...those are just words
Words are cheap...didn't you get the memo. Plus that is WI, it doesn't even matter.

2. lol That's what I said about Edwards.
Luckily, Obama also has a progressive record to back it up.

nor do they make the pie higher.

9. I LOVE how he took Hillary's latest words and used them against her!
He said that SHE said "speeches don't fix healthcare or put food on the table" and AGREED with her, saying negative ads don't do those things either, and then went on to name the things he's been doing for the last 20 years! He is GOOD!

13. You obviously haven't listened to ANY of his speeches. He's BEEN giving specifics.
But now he starts by saying Hillary says speeches don't put food on the table, etc. He uses her latest attacks against her.

18. I've listened to one Obama "pie-in-the-sky" speech after another. Conclusion:
Plenty of sky, but not much pie.

21. So you've painted yourself into a corner.
You're either lying when you say you've listened to Obama's speeches, or you're lying when you say he doesn't mention specifics.

I'm guessing it's the former.

24. I'm not an Obama groupie that tracks every speaking engagement. The speeches
that I have heard had very little substance. You can pretend he's not weak in the substance department if you wish, but you're only fooling yourself.

Or as you would put it, "lying to yourself".

31. By not turning on the tv? If you had heard his speeches, you'd know he DOES give specifics.
Edited on Fri Feb-15-08 03:21 PM by jenmito
Just because he's inspirational while giving those specifics doesn't mean he doesn't give them.

35. It's well known that Obama suffers from a "specifics deficiency" that's why
Edited on Fri Feb-15-08 08:20 PM by oasis

34. .
Do you still have the link? If I remember correctly, these weren't recent contributions (someone said 2005 or 2006 I think).
All it means is that they supported fellow Democrats in previous races. Seeing who and how many individuals received these contributions would be the only interesting information though.
