[TheDonkey]

8. WOW!!!

[jefferson_dem]

10. Oh my! Blistering response by President Obama!

"People are fed up...and they are frustrated...and they want to see change in Washington. And that's why I'm running for President of the United States of America!"

Let's have Hillary and McSame get out there and say "things are just dandy...lighten up"...

Good fucking luck! Bush 1, circa 1992!

[nevergiveup]

11. Damn, he nailed both of them

This man never ceases to amaze me.

[aasleka]

13. there's folks who haven't really listened and do not understand where he is coming from yet.

When I hear people say empty suit, no ideas, change what? I go ballistic, either you're not listening or your incapable of understanding. This guy is the real deal, he has advisers not handlers, he is the smartest guy in the running and our only hope of transcending our countries recent decline to something truly awe inspiring, we can change the world!

[keep_it_real]

39. Thanks for the great comment

12. As time goes on, I just keep having to pinch myself---he is SOOOO good!

Look at the audience, as well. Predominantly white, older working class.

He is breaking thru all the crap and the people are seeing hope again, with him.

[keep_it_real]

40. Ya, just got to love him

[Texifornia]

14. Barack is so...

...going to beat McCain like a drum.

[quantass]

15. THANK YOU! America is tired of old politics by Hillary and McSame

[woolldog]

16. he completely disarmed the negative connotations to the word bitter

in that clip. That was masterful.

[SharonRB]

17. Good answer, Barack!

Gobama -- this was great. Thanks for posting it.

[leftupnorth]

18. It's so nice to see a competent statesman in action.

It almost makes me want to think positive thoughts about our generation's chances at leaving this place better than we found it.

Almost.

Can't. Quite. Reach. Sarcastic. Jaded. Cynicism. Off. Switch. Yet.

Need. One. President. That. Gets. It.

[mhoran]

74. Hang. On.

Help. Is. On. The. Way.

[dbonds]

19. Perfect.

He is right on the money.

[MrSlayer]

20. Nice one-two punch there.

The more they come at him with stupid shit the more he crushes the life out of them. Brilliant response.

[LynzM]

21. First time in a long time I've missed being in Terre Haute.

Damn, can that man give a good response! Look at all the heads nodding, look at all the people agreeing with him. :bounce: Because he's RIGHT!

[Adelante]

22. HE DID IT HE DID IT

[goclark]

23. You speak for me Sen. Just Words Obama !

Mr. "Just Words" blew them out of the atmosphere!

Sock it to them with an Ali punch.

They ought to know better, but they still don't get it.

[aaronbees]

48. Float like a butterfly....

Obama served up a masterful response.

[Hailtothechimp]

[ms liberty]

35. Thanks, CC - this is even better than the transcript!

It continues to amaze me - they hit him with something and he grabs it from them and skewers them with it. He really is that good, isn't he?

It is my pleasure to give this a K&R!

[hwmnbn]

36. THAT, my friends,,,,,

is how it's done!!

Obama is at his best when he's challenged. He'll kick ass and do it with style.

[Cant trust em]

43. and, he has the $$$ to turn this into a nice...

...ad that can be run on tv and radio from now til the 22nd...

[Alii]

44. I'm mad as hell...

Has this been posted on this thread yet? Even CNN got it right.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x117454

There's still time in Pennsylvania to make a wiser choice. C'mon, let's see Obama's poll standings on the rise beginning Monday.

Hillary usually makes her more stupid comments on a Friday hoping that they'll be forgotten over the weekend.

Keep this on a roll. Obama's counter-attack was powerful and truthful.

[FrenchieCat]

45. "Error: You've already recommended that thread."

Damn......that was too good! :smoke:

[Cant trust em]

46. No Clintophiles have flamed this thread yet

Why you might ask? Possibly because this statement was so out of the park it is unflameable.

Barack on!

[IndependentDem]

49. Obama mis-spoke...

This response was great except he mis-spoke when he said:
"Senator Clinton voted for a credit card-sponsored bankruptcy bill that made it harder for people to get out of debt after taking money from the financial services companies, and she says I’m out of touch?"

I believe she said he was being condescending, not out of touch. If he would have explained why his comments were not condescending the response would have been even better. I wonder if this was just a slip of the tongue or if he was purposely trying to mesh his two opponents together.

[stlsaxman]

79. Watch it again. Barak quotes her correctly beginning at 2:10...

He got it right.

[IndependentDem]

83. I'm referring to the part that starts at 2:53 and ends at 3:06...

"Senator Clinton voted for a credit card-sponsored bankruptcy bill that made it harder for people to get out of debt after taking money from the financial services companies, and she says I’m out of touch?"

But you are correct, the first part is an accurate quote.

[Drunken Irishman]

50. His beat down is the top story on Yahoo!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080412/ap_on_el_pr/obama_bitter_voters

[goletian]

51. that guy is fuckin brilliant. whered yall find him?

you know whats really sad though? that barack is just stating the obvious. thats how screwed americans are today. barack is getting traction as this innovative guy, and hes just projecting the same frustrations nearly everyone in the country has been feeling for years. out of touch? HA! hilarious.

[quantass]

52. k

[Hope And Change]

53. This was a KO!No doubt about it.

K & R!

[RBInMaine]

55. And he should keep making the same speech over and over in PA !!

[Anser]

56. Damn, he's good.

I'm about as cynical as they come, yet, he inspires me. I've never seen anything like it. Could it be... sincerity?

[shellgame26]

57. Well I wont back down,

no I wont back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I wont back down

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I wont back down

Tom Petty

[and-justice-for-all]

58. I would have attended this...

but I, unfortunately, had to work. I miss all the good shit!

But I did vote for Obama on Tuesday!

[susankh4]

59. I'm OK with what he is saying here

tho I think the word "bitter" is not the best choice.

Bitterness is an immobilizing emotion as a rule. And I think we are seeing a great mobilization of the electorate right now.

Frustrated and unhappy, yes. Bitter? No.

[rainlillie]

60. Thanks for the video!

He knocked this one out of the park! If I were Hilary and McCain I wouldn't provoke him anymore. Every time that they do, it just brings attention to their own shortcomings.

[Preening Fop]

61. The corporate contracts placed on Senator Obama, Must Fail.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

62. K&R

[Bensthename]

64. Now can we count on the press to show his rebuttal? I hope so..

[Barack_America]

66. And just like that *POOF* Obama is a populist.

Senator Obama
David Plouffe
David Axelrod

I bow before your political genius.

[ekwhite]

84. I think he has always been more of a populist than Clinton or McCain

It's nice he used the Clinton / McCain attack on him to show it. He seems to have a lot of populist sentiments, but he doesn't usually use the fire-breathing populist style. It's nice to see him talk like a populist every once in a while.

[stlsaxman]

67. "I know EXACTLY what's going on!" (place standing ovation here)

Yes you do, Senator. Yes you DO!

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[crankychatter]

69. He'll do well in the debate

yup

[Cant trust em]

70. I've watched this 3 times now

I doubt that I'm the only one. At the time of this post there were 10,002 votes on youtube.

[WillyT]

72. Ah... T'was A Thing Of Beauty !!! - K & R !!!

Si Se Puede!!!

:kick:

[janetle]

73. I LOVE THIS VIDEO

Make it go viral people!

[mhoran]

75. Greatness.

We are witnessing greatness.

After such a long period of darkness, finally there is again a reason to feel hopeful about politics and for a better America.

[lilyannerose]

76. Obama Is The Man

This is the man who will give us our country back!

[phrigndumass]

78. REGARDING DECATUR, ILLINOIS

When Senator Obama mentioned "across the border in Decatur," he was referring to Decatur, Illinois. Obama knows Decatur, home of Archer Daniels Midland (ADM). Read more about ADM:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archer_Daniels_Midland

Pay attention to the sections titled:
- Price Fixing
- Environmental Record
- Criticism of ADM

A movie about ADM is being filmed as we speak. It's called The Informant, and is based on the book of the same name written by Kurt Eichenwald. The film will star Matt Damon.

Good on ya, Senator Obama! Speak the truth.

:thumbsup:

[stlsaxman]

80. Directed by Steven Soderberg!? Starring Matt Damon?!? this will be a MUST SEE!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130080/

Thanks for the tidbit!

[ekwhite]

85. A shocking piece from the Wikipedia article

In July 2005, the International Labor Rights Fund filed suit against the Nestle, Archer Daniels Midland, and Cargill companies in Federal District Court in Los Angeles on behalf of a class of Malian children who were trafficked from Mali into the Ivory Coast and forced to work twelve to fourteen hours a day with no pay, little food and sleep, and frequent beatings. The three children acting as class representative plaintiffs are proceeding anonymously, as John Does, because of feared retaliation by the farm owners where they worked. The complaint alleges their involvement in the trafficking, torture, and forced labor of children who cultivate and harvest cocoa beans which the companies import from Africa.

ADM practicing slavery in the Ivory Coast? I'm sure, of course, it was done by surrogates so ADM could maintain plausible deniability, but this truly shocks the conscience.

[MattP]

81. Still need coverage

I'm still very upset with HuffPo and the MSM with the way they are making this non-story and story, they need to show the response.

[happygoluckytoyou]

82. BITTER..... THAT ISNT HALF OF WHAT IM FEELING---> GO'BAMA

JOHN "THE REPUBLICAN" MCCAIN AND HILLARY "REPUBLICAN LITE" CLINTON ARE OUT OF TOUCH...
WHY ELSE WOULD THEY DEFEND THE WAR...EVER!!! DID SOMEONE SAY THE CLINTONS EARNED $110 MILLION
LAST YEAR.... GUESS THAT $4 GAS IS HITTING THEM PRETTY HARD

JOHN "THE REPUBLICAN" MCCAIN AND HILLARY "REPUBLICAN LITE" CLINTON ARE OUT OF TOUCH...
WHY ELSE WOULD THEY DEFEND THE WAR...EVER!!! DID SOMEONE SAY THE CLINTONS EARNED $110 MILLION
LAST YEAR.... GUESS THAT $4 GAS IS HITTING THEM PRETTY HARD

[mod mom]

86. Good news Obama supporters, not only do we have over 90 people signed up to phone bank

to Pennsylvania at our Ohio office, but we have groups of volunteers traveling there to help GOTV.

This is a great response from Sen Obama in addressing how the media/Clinton/McCain folks tried to spin his words.

[Joe Chi Minh]

87. You know what would be really funny? If Obama said, "I'm not going to

say anything on my own behalf... just ask you if the guy who said these words sounds like an angry, bitter, wild-eyed democrat - yup, even just with a small "d":

Then read a passage from the Gospels - probably Matthew - in which Jesus gives the scribes and Pharisees hell by hurling the truth at them about their unjust, greedy, extortionate oppression of the poor, the orphan and the widow - and their double-dyed hypocrisy, which made their crimes all the more scandalous!

If people weren't angry and bitter, it would bode ill for America. They wouldn't be human. Just lifeless door mats. Like us Brits, now I think of it.

[mcollier]

88. You go Barack!

KC - Good point... When there is injustice those with the greatest intentions demand rectification. We need a leader like Barack Obama who is has the courage to speak out against the powerful special interest... This is what America has been waiting for...

[fighterdem5]

89. K & R

Obama has great comebacks to any smears that may be leveled against him. He destroyed the Wright pesudo-scandal in a single speech.

[rzemanfl]

90. Watching this at my computer I yelled "You tell 'em Barack! " so

loud my wife came in from outside to tell me the windows were open.

This man takes shit from no one.

[TexasLady]

91. That was Great!!

[wundermaus]

93. Can I hear an Amen!

[LuckyTheDog]

94. That was brilliant

[Tarc]

95. "Mcain and Clinton"

The O-Bots are so cute these days.

:eyes:

[Imagevision]

96. It's really true, fu*k with Obama...? - he'll put you together - kuddo's dude!

[evolvingsteve]

97. Damn right!

See, this is a great example of why I've always supported this man through thick and thin....everytime a Hillary/McCain surrogate, staffer, or them themselves try to make perfectly good soil into rotten dirt, he always comes out with the right words and intelligence, in a way that symbolizes pesticides that just kill off the weeds that keep trying to come back and mess with his/our garden! He is VERY MUCH connected with the American people! The standing ovation from these same working class Americans that he was surrounded by made his response and words even bolder than they already are.


Bravo Mr. future-President, you make me and fellow DU's VERY Proud!
