Our President is giving one of the best speeches ever & on the screen the Dow is over 13000 ~

[jillan]

The crowd is screaming "4 more years".

Obama is ripping into the Republicans by laughing at them saying that they auto bailout was just to repay the UAW...
wondering what the gopers have against hard work?

Saying that values means taking care of those in need - not the top 1%.

Is anyone else watching this?

What a great morning to be a Democrat!

1. You know, how the fuck can they keep saying he's destroyed us when

the majority of Americans feel we're on the right track, and the Dow performs like this???

That speech was SO good! Inspirational, supportive, the Best of Barack!

[jillan]

3. The best of Barack! Agreed - he owned that crowd - and he didn't even talk about the trees!

[brightertomorrow]

10. He was at his best

and one smart guy to make that speech on the day of the MI primary. He talked about the auto workers jobs that were saved and how the middle class had sacrificed enough. And no need whatsoever to talk about what height the trees were. LOL The crowd loved him. Never see such genuine crowd enthusiasm with Romney or Santorum.

[Old and In the Way]

2. When Obama is in campaign mode, he's a great public speaker.

He had his mojo working in that speech. You don't see any of the republicans getting their crowds excited like this.

[jillan]

4. Compare that to Romney stumbling over his words and the hatred coming out of the rest of the gop.

I'm definitely feeling better this morning.

9. Oooh. Thanks jillian, I certainly will.

[Rose Siding]

11. Thanks. Listening now and it is lifting my spirits.

"You are reminding us that no matter how tough times get, Americans are tougher", etc

Just words -I get that- but they inspire me.

[Hotler]

6. I didn't watch or hear the speech, but I would bet...

that he didn't mention giving his blessing to part of the XL pipeline going ahead. If he did, did the the crowd cheer?

[jillan]

8. He was addressing the UAW & telling them how much he believed in them.

This was not a speech about energy with the exception of talking about how the cars they are making now, and the cars that will be made over the next decade will make us less dependent on oil.


President Obama deserves to crow about saving the Auto Industry, imho.

[tokenlib]

12. Let's talk more about values, Mr President!! I loved where you were going...

Awesome speech--need a few more specifics to attack the GOP social darwinism and I think
we'll all be on a roll... Looking GOOD!!!

13. Obama is such a natural, he makes Rmoney and Santorum look sick by comparison ! nt

[great white snark]

14. Great job Mr. President!

What a refreshing difference after watching the Repub candidates babble their balderdash.

4 more years!

15. Here's the video:

He was FIRED UP and the audience was READY TO GO! http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/AutoWo If you want, you can add it to your OP.

[Lugnut]

16. It was a thing of beauty.

He looked like he was having a blast and the crowd seemed to love it. He also got in a few choice smackdowns on Rmoney. I'm glad I was able to watch the whole thing.

[DCBob]

17. He's still going after Romney.

Obviously the campaign thinks Romney is still going to win despite the rise of Santorum.

[jenmito]

19. He went after Santorum a little, too, by talking about "values" and how people should be able to

afford sending their kids to, "yes, COLLEGE." The audience loved it.

[and-justice-for-all]

18. I hope this is a sign of things to come...

at this rate, the repuke hack fuck that gets picked is going to get his ass kicked is going to awesome to watch.
