Are you listening to Obama's speech!

[usregimechange]

Best I have ever heard! Ever!

[jlake]

1. Yes. It is the same as I have heard from him before.

Soaring rhetoric and picking on Hillary... with the goons chanting "USA" "USA"
Not my cup of tea.

[jefferson_dem]

4. Unity. Hope. Positive patriotism.

Those things definitely suck.

[jlake]

12. Yeah, when he does not have a plan to accomplish anything.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Aww.

[jlake]

18. Don't think so.

[Occam Bandage]

28. Poor dear. Sorry your candidate is brick-mouthed in comparison.

[jlake]

30. It does not have anything to do with my candidate.

You do know that many people aren't impressed with BO's style....generally the same group who is not distracted by shiny things.

[Occam Bandage]

31. I'm sure.

:eyes:

[Atman]

45. Wow. Bitter much?

Man...I...crikey, your seething anger is just oozing. Obama trounced Hillary in every way tonight, no matter how much you want to deny it. From the vote count to the speeches, this was totally Obama's night.

.

[Atman]

44. We heard different speeches, apparently.

He never mentioned the Clintons once. And those "goons" were American citizens who made a choice, just as you have. Maybe you need to listen more closely to what he was saying.

(And I guess I have to post this as a disclaimer in every response in GD:P now -- I'm an Edwards supporter. But Obama knocked it out of the park tonight.

.

[jlake]

47. Her certainly made repeated reference to her. And I HATE stupid uber-nationalism

people chanting "USA" "USA" is so George Bush 2001.

[JI7]

2. you listen to him once and wonder how anyone including himself

can do better than that. but everytime i listen to him he impresses me even more.

he has got to be THE BEST speaker i have ever heard.

[cloud75]

3. where have you been it's his stump speech. n/t

[saracat]

5. Nope.Not interested.Sorry. I am honestly one who doesn't care for his

speaking style.I'll read it later!

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. I won't listen to it at all. I am not a sheep.

[Atman]

46. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! BAAA BAAA BAAA!

I'm not either. I'm not an Obama supporter. But that was an incredible speech.

Uh...how come people that follow the guy YOU don't like are "sheep," but people who buy into Hillary Clinton's crapola aren't? Just curious about how that works.

.

[samdogmom]

6. Yes!

I'm an Edwards supporter. (And will cast my primary vote that way.) But, I will HAPPILY SUPPORT HIM in the general election! (Hilary, not so much!).

[OhioChick]

7. Very Inspiring. n/t

[Joe the Revelator]

8. I think its even better then his Iowa speech

nt

[maddiejoan]

10. "This isn't about attacking your opponents"

Then he launches into an attack on Hillary.

[desi]

22. Seriously he did that?

I'm watching So Ill basketball.

[maddiejoan]

Yep

He did.

[desi]

26. Well that really sucks.

I know that if Hillary had won she would have been graceful in victory. He must feel the need to feed the most rabid of his supporters, the Clinton Haters. Sad...

[dogman]

11. I heard his victory speech when he won the Illinois Senate.

I hope he is serious this time, should he win.

[BringBigDogBack]

14. very good.

[MethuenProgressive]

15. G'town 58 WVU 57. Is Obama on TV?

:hi:

[bigwillq]

24. HA!

Love this post! :hi: :thumbsup:

[kentuck]

37. KY beat SC today.

:-)

[jpgray]

16. If you believe he actually represents the platitudes he spouts, I'm sure it's very nice

[Freida5]

17. I see how he beat Alan Keyes now

[Tatiana]

19. He's kicking a$$ and hitting all the right notes.

We can't afford another 4 years of the same. So true.

[IndianaGreen]

20. Reminds me of Kennedy's New Frontier speech

and while it covers the same themes of his stump speech, it is being broadcast nationwide.

[Historic NY]

21. I agree and 55% of S.C. does too.

As for his speaking style I guess some youngsters never heard Jack or Bobby Kennedy speak.

I'm thinking Obama/Edwards. YES WE CAN..............

[Kittycat]

23. Exceptional Speech

And sour grapes to the sore losers.

[Beaverhausen]

25. I'm still waiting to hear how he is going to accomplish this change he talks about

I want to hear it- really I do. But just unifying the country isn't enough. We have to fight the power structure that is now in place and has a stranglehold on our government and keeps the power in the hands of a few.

I don't hear Obama talk about that. Please, someone help me- show me how he is going to fix what's broken.

[Egnever]

39. hard to hear with your fingers in your ears.

Ill say it again for the hundredth time. Go look at his tech policy. If you don't walk away from it realizing what a change it would make in this country then well theres nothing that will convince you that change can be made so you better find a different issue to harp on.

[Beaverhausen]

40. I didn't have my fingers in my ears. I wanted to hear more substance

I was sitting next to my Obama-supporting boyfriend, and I desperately want a reason to feel good about supporting Obama, should he win the nomination.

Don't tell me to go read something. Tell me what he will do.

[bertvanz]

27. Past versus future

As Obama just said: "This election is not about black versus white. This election is about the past versus the future."

[sandnsea]

29. We can't wait anymore

Time for change!

[MH1]

32. There were an awful lot of white folks and women in that crowd, too.

And Obama's speech rocked.

[Adelante]

43. Those arms pumping in the air, brown arms and white arms

I was starting to cry looking at that and thinking about the past and the future. What a wonderful sight.

[Nimrod2005]

33. I cried

[jasmeel]

34. Where can we listen to it?

[usregimechange]

38. Now where yet but you can read it here:

[Beregond2]

35. Speech

Outstanding. What really impressed me was how many of Edward's themes he is incorporating. That tells me he is listening and learning, which will make me feel much better about voting for him in November. Anyone who thinks he isn't going to be the nominee after that speech is clueless. I love Edwards and want him to stay in the race all the way, as he is having a very positive influence. But what is happening with Obama is a historic tidal wave. I haven't been so moved by a speech since the days of Kennedy. He is a magnificent orator, and seems to be becoming the seasoned scrapper he is going to need to be to get anything done. I will be very surprised if Edwards isn't a part of his administration, if not as Vice, then as Attorney General or Secretary of Labor.

[zulchzulu]

36. He was fantastic!

I liked this one better than his great speech in Iowa.

[Evergreen Emerald]

41. I honestly cannot listen to him.

He is such a BS'er.

[TankLV]

49. my reasons too...

almost do the same as when bush* himself or any other repuke is on TV - I change the channel...

[FrenchieCat]

42. Excellent speech.......

excellent.

[TankLV]

48. no - feh...

I could care less...
