From the video maker: One of my "history in the making" videos. This is Senator Obama talking about NAFTA the day after Senator Clinton's now infamous "Shame on you Barack Obama" comment. He then goes on to discuss the role of special interests in politics which Hillary had also criticized him for earlier that day (mocked him, is more accurate really).

1. That crowd was too #*@^&^%% noisy. I couldn't hear a word of his speech

The Obama campaign is making a big mistake holding these events that draw people by the tens of thousands. And such impolite people, yelling and carrying on, and hoping out loud. If they want to hope, they out to have the courtesy to keep it to themselves. That's what I say.

Clinton has a much better idea making her speeches at empty press conferences and gatherings of a dozen supporters. It makes it much easier to understand her.

2. ...

:rofl:

The sound quality isn't great, I agree, but the enthusiasm is there. :thumbsup:

3. I think the videographer was a supporter in the audience, and the sound was

from his camera. You heard the people around him responding to Obama. I'm guessing the official footage that Obama will release will be much more crisp, clear and hopefully to your liking.

And it's kind of sad to think of Hillary talking to a dozen supporters at this point of the game, while Obama is rakin' them in, SRO.

6. Agreed

Empty chairs are so polite...and parking lot rallies are so....warm!

4. THANK YOU! I tried to attend this one

UT was overflowing, 10,000 people, and I read another 5,000 had to be turned away. There were people in tears that had to leave.

5. They could have gone to the Hillary party

Much nicer over there. Only a few dozen people. No waiting for the hors d'oeuvres, and the food is better because, well, because the Clinton campaign understands it is better to spend their money on the best food.

They don't mind if you raid the mini-bar in their hotel rooms.
