Obama-Oprah on C-Span right now.

[MadBadger]

[jenmito]

1. Michelle on now: "Oprah and Barack couldn't be here today..."

:D

[MadBadger]

2. Michelle is great.

[gateley]

3. Michelle is doing a FANTASTiC job! nt

[babylonsister]

4. Thanks! It's looking pretty crowded in there! nt

[MadBadger]

5. Oprah just took the stage

[Pirate Smile]

6. It is also on CNN and Faux. MSNBC is doing their doc block stuff.

[MadBadger]

7. Thanks, Im doing C-span

[jenmito]

8. I saw that. I can't believe MSNBC isn't covering this!

I'm sure they'll cover it during the week at least.

[MadBadger]

9. They always do the doc block on weekends.

[gateley]

11. What's the doc block? Thanks.

[MadBadger]

14. After 10Pm every week day, MSNBC airs a block of documentaries

such as Lockup, to Catch a Predator, etc. ON weekends, they reair a bunch of them.

[Pirate Smile]

16. Documentaries - one after another.

[babylonsister]

23. It's the cheapest way for them to waste weekends; rerun old stuff. nt

[gateley]

61. Thanks!! nt

[jenmito]

17. I know. I just wish they would've broken into that this time.

[MadBadger]

10. Oprah is Rockin!

[jenmito]

12. Oprah-"I'm not telling you what to think. I'm telling you TO think."

That's right. Think about what's best for this country-an Obama presidency!

[babylonsister]

18. Excellent line! nt

[jenmito]

21. Yup. It just proved all those wrong who said she will tell people what to think.

[ecstatic]

13. Wow... Oprah shows that she might be presidential material too...

She's doing pretty good on that podium.

[polichick]

25. How 'bout veep? :)

[bunnies]

15. Shes Damn Good!

I'm impressed! And Im not even an Oprah fan.

[ChiciB1]

19. Not Complaining Much... But Getting THIS Kind Of Coverage Is A Slap In

the face when those of us who Marched in D.C. several times NEVER got this kind of stuff. In fact, even C-Span BARELY covered it!

Not knocking Obama, but am REALLY upset with MSM!! If you protest, NO COVERAGE... if you have Oprah it's wall to wall! This is really UNBALANCED!!!

[Progress And Change]

22. did Oprah bother to even mention that march, let alone go to it?

[babylonsister]

28. You're not a happy camper, are ya? She's inspiring! nt

[jenmito]

30. I've seen you do nothing but complain about Obama and Oprah.

What's your problem?

[ChiciB1]

73. Me?? I Haven't Complained About Either Of Them... You Must Have The

wrong person. Honestly, I REALLY don't think I've denigrated either one of them. Perhaps there's somewhere you could find postings, I really don't know but I would like to see where I have complained about either of them

I may have said I didn't think Obama wasn't ready yet, or that I've never watched Oprah myself, but I hardly think that's complaining. The only point I was making is that I spent some hard earned money to travel to D.C. several times, one time taking my granddaughter with me and felt let down that we got so little coverage.

Is there an archive here that we could check out my statements?? Hey, I don't know... I don't think I've ever said ANYTHING negative about Obama, but I might have slipped up once... maybe twice. I don't think so because I don't fell that way.

I don't dislike Obama at all! I didn't question this event, I questioned WHY we who marched were unable to get support for showing our discontent with Iraq!

[jenmito]

27. So you should be happy with MSNBC. n/t

[polichick]

20. Very impressive; she's a natural. nt

[killbotfactory]

24. Okay, she will help Obama a lot more than I thought

She's good!

[bunnies]

26. "a tongue dipped in the unvarnished truth"

whoohoo. This is great stuff. :bounce:

[Capn Sunshine]

29. Thanks

I has "My Stepmother is An Alien" on and it was real hard to switch over, but I made the sacrifice.

[babylonsister]

31. Rec'd! nt

[babylonsister]

32. 'We need a prez who has a relationship with our friends AND our enemies!' nt

[elana i am]

33. damn!

not an oprah fan at all, but she's sounding like quite the politician. I mean that in a good way.

I'm impressed.

[babylonsister]

34. She's sounding great, and welcome to DU, elana i am! nt

[polichick]

35. Great finish - "Are you the one?" nt

[MadBadger]

36. Now for the Campaign Speech.

[polichick]

37. She's a hard act to follow. nt

[ecstatic]

38. Is anyone else having sound issues?

Or just directtv?

[K Gardner]

39. It must be at the source, have cable and horrible sound n/t

[elana i am]

40. there's sound issues on the cspan stream too.

[K Gardner]

44. It's a conspiracy :-) n/t

[MadBadger]

41. I am too, I think its C-Span

[ellisonz]

42. Yep.

Digital Cable.

Sounds like a bee!

[jenmito]

43. Yes. The sound goes bad once in a while.

[polichick]

45. It's cutting out. nt

[MadBadger]

46. Obama needs to pull the mic back from his mouth.

[K Gardner]

47. Did anyone else crack up at the reference to Cousin Cheney and the hunting party? LOL n/t

[polichick]

48. That was great! nt

[MadBadger]

49. I would have, except I watched his Leno Clip last night, and there was the joke.

I like the crazy uncle in the attic joke too. He didnt use that here, but sometimes he refers to Cheney as that.

[ellisonz]

50. 8th cousins!

[MadBadger]

51. C'mon C-Span, get some tech guys to fix this shit.

[K Gardner]

52. Really ! I'm sittin here trying to read lips :-)

[babylonsister]

53. Poor guy, his voice is going. And

whoever was responsible for the sound on this program did a really crappy job.

[MadBadger]

54. I think it was a C-span screw up. Seems like they heard him there.

[babylonsister]

55. No excuse imo; CSPAN should have enough experience to get it right.

But no-o-o-o! Anyway, open phones now; maybe we'll hear this. :eyes:

Edit to add, phone calls messing up, too! :wow:

[K Gardner]

57. I was REALLY looking forward to hearing the callers, but noooooo..

I thought I heard a Republican say they might vote Obama, but CSPAN still doesnt have this shit fixed, and Fox is already on the attack.

[MadBadger]

58. Republican did say that.

[MadBadger]

56. Obama just won an elderly couple in CA. Registered Republican may switch to Indpt.

So he can vote for Barack.

[MadBadger]

59. We are ALLL having technical difficulties.

[K Gardner]

60. OMG.. Young Republicans called to say they're pissed because they can't hear Barak..

CSPAN really needs to straighten up.

[MadBadger]

62. Sounds like somebody else is running!

[K Gardner]

63. You tell me WHY CSpan is giving this joker air time?? Are you kidding me? n/t

[MadBadger]

68. I would love to know why they cut that woman who said the war was a joke

but let him go on and on. Entertainment value maybe?

[Patsy Stone]

71. I think it's because hes running as a Republican

:)

[elana i am]

69. kooks are people too?

figures he's coming through loud and clear.

[ecstatic]

70. They finally fix the sound and that's who they choose to give time to nt

shaking my head...

[MadBadger]

64. Michael P. Shaw for President!

[ecstatic]

67. rofl

:rofl:

[ecstatic]

65. cspan let a schizophrenic ramble on for a few minutes

Wow. That was really bizarre.

[Patsy Stone]

66. My name is Michael P. Shaw

And I'm here to let Mr. Obama know that a guy from the hood is running for President, because he has no street cred among Republicans.

:rofl:

[Control-Z]

72. The dream ticket

Shaw/McCain :rofl:

Without them we'll end up "back pre-911 times".

Oh my, my.
