Don't know if the networks will cover this. Seems Hillary conveniently has a speech in Michigan at about the same time.

[K Gardner]

1. This introduction is a scorcher ! Hear that Scarborough?

[0007]

24. JOe Scarborough is a wolf and a double toking wanker that takes

Fuck Scarborough!!

[Bonobo]

2. Starting.

[Oilwellian]

3. MSNBC covering it as well

Ohhh, this is going to be good. :D

[democrat_patriot]

4. Please feed the rats...

tanx.

[Oilwellian]

5. He's attacking...

McCain & Hillary's "experience" in DC. Talking about the military's serious problems due to Iraq.

[democrat_patriot]

6. Thank you!

[Oilwellian]

7. Damn...

both CNN & MSNBC just cut away. CNN cutting away to Hillary.

[Oilwellian]

11. Clinton is trying to rile Michigan voters

[godai]

8. Banner is "Judgment to lead"

He mentioned Clinton/McCain's poor judgment going into Iraq.

Are we safer? McCain has argued can't leave Iraq because violence is UP. Now, he say we can't leave because violence is DOWN.

[godai]

12. Responsibly remove 1-2 brigades per month. All in 16 months.

"A detailed and prudent plan to end a war nearly 7 years after it started.

Time to tell Iraq leaders that they must take responsibility. If not, they will take as long as they want!"

Ending this war will not be easy.

[godai]

15. "McCain confused Sunni and Shiite"

Maybe that's why he voted for the Iraq war, thinking Alqaeda was already there.

[MidwestTransplant]

9. They just broke to hillary campaign RALLY. GIVE ME A BREAK

It's just a Rally.

[godai]

13. Seems to be her plan, with the same timing. n/t

[C_U_L8R]

16. Don't worry... They can't kill an idea

and videos of Obama's speeches will go far and wide (with all our help)

[NightWatcher]

10. Obama Substanitive Speech Day Two:

On my first day, I will end this war. I will responsibly remove 1-2 combat brigades each month. This should take approx 16 months.


Sounds like a plan and not just a speech

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

14. Who do you trust to end the war?

The one who opposed it from the beginning or the one who opposed it when they started running for president?

[NightWatcher]

18. he is pwning her and McCain/bush

[godai]

17. Not too late to prevail in Afghanistan...

but, in order to do this, need to decrease commitment in Iraq.

[godai]

19. Need to rethink Pakistan policy

Need full restoration of the rule of law, to continue financial support.

[godai]

20. "Clinton, McCain and Bush have all distorted my Pakistan position"

Same 3 individuals supported the invasion of Iraq. They say they'll follow OBL to the gates of hell but they refuse to follow him, where he IS!

[easy_b94]

21. that was on point there

[godai]

22. "We will serve them, as well as they have served us" (American soldiers) n/t

[godai]

23. speech has ended n/t

[CJCRANE]

25. IMO that was his best speech so far

in terms of detail.
