*****CNN LIve Thread Obama Speech on Economy****

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

Oo Obama is talking about the Economy.

Said that not telling people the truth is not respecting them.

Saying you are against a free trade agreement with Columbia when your
key advisor is being paid to lobby for that agreement is well.....


Ooo this is awesome, there's cheers, applause, clapping.

Truth is so refreshing!!!!!

1. he wants a health care system, not a national disease care system

not gonna wait 20 years to do it, 10 years to do it, but by the end of
my first term.

A college degree in reach for all of our children of america,
so that all of our people can compete in a global economy,

looking for the rights of our workers

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

2. we shouldn't have a president who chokes on the word "UNION"

whoooo whooo, applause, clapping.

We'll pass the Patriot Employer Act - stop giving tax breaks to companies that
send jobs over sees, start giving breaks to companies that provide
jobs and benefits right here in America.

The Fight for manufacturing future, is a fight for America's future...


A manufacturing policy,

make the necessary long term investments in job growth.....


A national infrastructure investment bank....

5. live coverage switching over to www.CNN.com website

so see the video there online.

Glad they got the first 10 minutes or so out on national television.

Some people in the crowd yelled out - Yeh, we ARE bitter!

Cnn even realized that and commented on it.....

6. He hammered Hillary on the elitist comment again..

I think she made a bit of a mistake on this.. Attacking Gore and Kerry by inference was a big mistake as well...that's one way to appeal to the SD's.

[Zachstar]

7. Mentioned the problems with the Internet backbone

This is interesting because while it is a huge issue it normally isn't talked about in campaigns.

I wonder if he will take a look at the CERN grid system? Apparently it can go at 10000x speeds of the existing internet backbones.
