[nostamj]

repeat of 5/21 speech at Lawrence Kansas...

[k in IA]

1. Thanks, I was looking for this over the weekend and never saw it.

[trof]

2. THANK YOU!

[Mandate My Ass]

3. Thanks

Gving props to Sen. Dole for his service to his country. Says he admires him. Bill said if he never did a lick after WWII he had already done more than enough 100 times over.

Wow. Imagine the pukes trying to say something like that about a Dem. They'd choke themselves unconscious on their own bile.

[JohnnyRingo]

4. It's hard to remember, now

Did presidents really used to speak with such eloquence and captivating grace ?

[NYCGirl]

12. Yep. JFK did. (eom)

nt

[trof]

5. Perfection desirable but unattainable goal.

"Toward a MORE perfect union."
Brains, charisma, AND good looks in one package.
Aye-mazing man.

[Sparkly]

6. aWOOoooo!!!

I love the Big Dog! I can't believe we went from this man to the Chimp.

[Lindsey]

7. Thanks - I just turned it on - I LOVE DU!!!!!!!!!!!!

N/T BIG DOG ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

[Lindsey]

8. I'm so excited to see him speak..

I put N/t and then added something

[Mandate My Ass]

9. You should question your leaders

don't let it descend to questioning their motives or accusing them of being twisted.

America is trying to come to grips with globalization. Global terror. Religious and cultural and ethnic diversity, will it make us better? We changed teh way we relate to the rest of the world in the ways that are both frightening and wonderful.

Dems reformed themselves from promoting social justice and civil rights. REpubs defined conservatives the private sector should try to improve things before gov't. Now slowly over last 20 years, bitter anti-gov't and religious right have reformed...both parties are trying to build a new consensus that responds to the challenges of 21st century world. Extremists will have more influence as long as we don't have consensus.

[Spazito]

10. Man, oh man, he is amazing...

he can take a complex geopolitical situation and deconstruct it in terms that we all can understand, amazing, truly amazing!

[nostamj]

11. you're welcome

I had NO idea it was coming on...

in fact, I had the sound off and was listening to Franken... glanced at the TV....

and POSTED!

(I missed it too and tried to find it over the weekend)

[Lindsey]

13. My ex-republican brother called my sister

when this first aired and was so excited he was saying "turn to cspan, turn to cspan Clinton's on, Clinton's on - geez, he's smart."

[Mandate My Ass]

14. I fyou cannot kill, occupy or imprison

all your actual or potential adversaries, you have to compromise!!

Nothing has changed but more people are dead and more people are mad.

We are all interdependent and you have to make deals, compromise is honorable, not dishonorable.

[k in IA]

18. Good Lord, do we have some people running this country that

need to learn that lesson.

[hexola]

15. Ahhh....sooothing...

I heard this one over the weekend...the guy is fired up...

[Mandate My Ass]

16. For a tiny fraction of what we spend on defense

and I do mean TINY, we could help feed the children who have never had a clean glass of water in their lives.

Pentagon budget $2 trillion.

Need three things:

Strategy for terror

Strategy for more friends

Be part of every conceivable network that will bring people together. Builds a habit of working with other people. Being a team member more likely to find peaceful resolutions in 21st century.

Keep making America better. Not our military or arsenal but our example...if we can prove that freedom breeds respect and lets people feel proud of their culture and religion, goes a long way to continuing to prove America works.

[Jacobin]

17. How many more years will it be before

someone with his wisdom, wit and ability to deal with nuance in a practical way will be elected president.

I miss listening to him. ONe smart SOB and he nails complex policy issues.

Damn. A president with a brain. I've almost forgotten what it was like.

[Bandit]

21. How many more years? ~ Less than one

Senator Kerry is also a very brilliant man who can speak in complete sentences and actually knows what he says. President Clinton will be a major asset in Kerry's success.

[Jacobin]

24. I'm voting for Kerry

But, to borrow a phrase: "I know who John Kerry is. I've watched John Kerry for Years. John Kerry is no Clinton."

But we can hope.

Hell he'll be such an improvement over Smirky that Kerry will look like the second coming of Christ.

[peacetalksforall]

22. The only saving throught right now is that the comparison between

Clinton and the people who elected and supported him will always be evident as superior in all the history books.

Too bad about the flaws that resulted from the centrist moves.

[Mandate My Ass]

19. We will never eradicate terror

unless we realize we have to define the future in terms of humanity that goes beyond our country.

Judge people based on what they do.

Terrorists should be punished. But we have to be able to say to the world, we want to be a home to every peaceable person. The world has never before had to do this. Big psychological jump. Different thing for a country to live this way. In 1945 we nearly blew ourselves up. The UN came along. We've had 15 years to build global community. People in Kosovo and Kansas are more alike than they are different.

My last year in WH, Hillary and I talked about big questions at Millenium evenings, one issue was sequencing genome. Genetically all human beings are more than 99.99% alike. Next time you start to feel like you need to demonize someone, think about that.

Alot of blood shed over that .01%. Live by the 99.99%

Applause...........

[nostamj]

20. DAMN but that was GREAT

to go from THAT to the pathetic, worthless, inane lying droolings of the insipid chimp...

from The Question W Revue

To the tune of “SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS”

CONVOLUTED SYNTAX AND A MANGLING OF THE GRAMMAR
EVERY TIME YOU HEAR HIM SPEAK
YOU WANT TO GRAB A HAMMER
BUT IF YOU DARE TO PROTEST
YOU'LL END UP IN THE SLAMMER
CONVOLUTED SYNTAX AND A MANGLING OF THE GRAMMAR

UM TERRA TERRA TERRA UM SMOKE ‘EM OUT
UM TERRA TERRA TERRA UM SMOKE ‘EM OUT

OUR GEORGIE IS NO ORATOR
AS YOU CAN PLAINLY SEE
AND READING OFF A MONITOR
HE DOES JUST AWFULLY
IT’S THE SAME SPEECH HE SPEECHED BEFORE
BUT STILL CAN’T GET IT RIGHT
I GET ANNOYED AT THIS DULL BORE
AND I CAN’T BE POLITE:

IT’S CONVOLUTED SYNTAX AND A MANGLING OF THE GRAMMAR
EVERY TIME YOU HEAR HIM SPEAK
YOU WANT TO GRAB A HAMMER
BUT IF YOU DARE TO PROTEST
YOU'LL END UP IN THE SLAMMER
CONVOLUTED SYNTAX AND A MANGLING OF THE GRAMMAR
(Whisper:)
CONVOLUTED SYNTAX AND A MANGLING OF THE GRAMMAR
(Full:)
CONVOLUTED SYNTAX AND A MANGLING OF THE GRAMMAR!

23. Quote (not from this speech) that's on my desk:

"This ain't rocket science. If you like people, they will like you back."

[Bozita]

25. My America wants this guy back in government ... bigtime

What a speech!

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. I missed it

:-( I caught the very end, just as he was walking through the crowd after his speech. Bummer!

[Catherine Vincent]

27. I love that man!

[Mandate My Ass]

28. I still have a big lump in my throat

I forgot how listening to him could fill you with optimism and hope.

Now back to cruel reality. :cry:
