"OBAMA 08!! OBAMA 08!!" McCain chanted out the door at GM plant!!

[Fran Kubelik]

On Countdown. Holy crap. That was beautiful. Those fundamentals of our economy - the workers - are not buying his bullshit.

Obama '08!!!

[Muttocracy]

ROFL, that's awesome, imagine Obama using that in an attack ad against McCain
It would be an awesome clip to show in a commericial attacking McCain on the economy, show McCain trying to talk as they say "Obama 08", and have the announcer say "The American people just aren't buying into John McCain's failed economic policies".

[NYC_SKP]

20. Thanks for sharing, K&R nt

[goodgd_yall]

38. That's great!!!

That's the way to do it!

[Curtland1015]

2. Huh? What happened!?

[Fran Kubelik]

5. McCain gave a speech at a GM plant in Lake Orion, Michigan.

Was greeted with workers wearing Obama shirts and pins. When he was done with his ridiculously stiff speech, people started chanting "Obama 08!! Obama 08" He plastered on a plastic grin and walked out the door.

[codjh9]

17. Ha ha! Excellent!

[KeepItReal]

28. DAYUM!!!

That's hot.

[msallied]

52. I used to live in Lake Orion. Lived next door to that plant, in fact.

THat makes me feel very proud.

[Barack_America]

3. GE or GM.

Not aware of a GE plant in Lake Orion.

[Fran Kubelik]

6. Oops! GM of course.

:blush:

[crazy_vanilla]

4. as Keith said

Many of the "fundamentals" of the economy were there wearing Obama buttons and chanting Obama! Obama!

I saw the video. It was hilarious. McLame almost poopooed his pantaloons.

[Cha]

37. "Fundamentals of the Economy"! Hilarious!

:rofl:

[patrice]

7. Does my heart GOOD! Thanks!

[Captain Hilts]

8. I can't wait to see that clip! nt

[yellowcanine]

9. Don't those workers know McCain can get them a job picking lettuce for $50 an hour??????

How stupie can they get? :rofl:

[firedupdem]

10. I am just so proud of those GM workers!! Very Good!! n/t

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

12. Gee, Grampy, that worked out well

This is surrealism on an epic scale. Why on Dog's earth would anyone schedule this sad, sick old man in front of a group of unionized auto workers who are virtually a lead pipe lock to hate his fucking guts? What the fuck did they expect?

[LonelyLRLiberal]

32. Seriously! . . . . nt

[Binka]

41. His Handlers Are The Same Fucks Who Told America We Would Be Greeted With Roses In Iraq

Fucking losers. They are washed up hacks with damaged goods. McLame is their LOSER king. Their script has lost it's value.

[CitizenPatriot]

13. dup sorry

duplicate

[CitizenPatriot]

14. AWESOME!

Our brothers and sisters in Michigan are not buying your shite, McCain!

You get 'em, Union Workers!

Way to stand up for your rights!

[Fighting Donkey]

15. That was truly awesome.

[ShadowLiberal]

18. Another Truman avatar!

We know we kick ass!

[NotThisTime]

19. You cannot buy this footage LOL... you couldn't ask for better! Thanks GM!

[Eyes_wide_ open]

21. ROFL!

Obama '08!!! WTG Lake Orion!!!

That's what going to happen whenever you step outside your box McLiar! You can't :hide: forever

[berni_mccoy]

22. Similar thing happened to Clinton during the primaries. Not a good sign for McCain.

[TxBlue]

23. My Prediction is McHoover will Melt Down. Did you see

that death grin he had on his face? We're seeing more and more of those. Eventually, he'll blow up, melt down, breakdown.

Just hope a camera captures it all.

[sop]

54. I live for that day...

When John POW! McCain goes stark, raving mad in front of the cameras. I've spent nearly eight years hoping to see a drunk George W Bush take a header down the stairs of Air Force One. Since God didn't see fit to grant me this one wish, I'm now praying McCain goes apeshit before November. During the last debate would be like an early Christmas present....are you listening, God?

[qwlauren35]

58. Wasn't it enough...

to see Bush drunk at the Olympics needing secret service people to help him get out of his seat???

Personally, I thought it was disgraceful, but maybe because being able to sit down and have a beer with someone was never my criterion for a good president.

[d_b]

24. am i the only one

who feels sorry for this guy?

[Danger Mouse]

26. i do, too, but only slightly.

[d_b]

27. I dunno what it is...

must be the liberal in me.

[Curtland1015]

29. It's that God damn liberal guilt. I get it all the time.

Every time some ass hat stumbles flat on his face, someone who DESERVES it, I always catch myself saying: "well, you know the poor guy just was just brought up poorly, or blah, blah, blah..."

Damn it for once I just want to be able to look at the loser laying in the mud and just laugh in his face without remorse!

...but then I worry that's when I'll become a Republican.

[chatnoir]

34. If it were Palin, though, not a chance

I loathe the woman - she strikes me as incredibly hateful and vicious.

[d_b]

39. oh for sure

I think part of the reason is that he reminds me of my grandfather.

[chatnoir]

49. The clueless, sometimes cranky grandfather

I totally know where you're coming from on this and can't explain it myself too well.

[chatnoir]

30. No, I felt sort of sorry for him when I saw that clip also

on KO tonight. I'm pretty soft-hearted at times and did feel bad for him, as it seemed unnecessarily mean.

[Cha]

36. But, mccain lies and cheats to steal our country..

that is MEAN..and these people are tired of cheaters.

[chatnoir]

42. If it were Palin I'd not feel any sympathy

She's truly a vicious, hateful individual. McCain seems more very misguided and clueless to me.

[Cha]

46. No, I saw him in all his arrogant, surly glory the other

day on morning joe..accusing a pundit of being an Obama supporter because he didn't like her question. He has a reputation for a hairtrigger temper and has told vile jokes in public about women.

So it would be justice if he were brought down by one through the Law Of Unintended Consequences.

[chatnoir]

47. I know, I saw that also

That morning he had left one interview on CNN where it didn't go the way he wanted and went straight to that one with Mike and Joe and was in a foul mood already.

So yeah, I saw that and still felt badly for him today. Go figure. Must be the old, slow grandpa thing (as opposed to the evil bastard a la Cheney, Rove, Helms thing). :shrug:

[Cha]

50. mccain is evil ..I hate to see anyone waste their

sympathy on him but we all react differently. I have no patience for any of them..it's been 8 long years and we are lazer beam focused on winning this election!

[chatnoir]

51. I know, I know... We're doomed if they get in

After 8 yrs of the worst presidency ever, we wouldn't be able to survive those two.

[Fran Kubelik]

31. I felt so proud of the factory workers.

It's not like they were telling him he was ugly. They just don't want this guy who will never do a single thing to improve their lives in their workplace.

[gblady]

33. perhaps I might....

if I didn't want to throw up every time I see his face...

[DeschutesRiver]

45. I've had brief flickerings of that too, but only if Obama is in the lead and

I don't focus on the horror that would be a Palin presidency, should some horrible Murphy's law situation arise.

I remember a day when I at least thought McCain wasn't like he is now; otoh, dh says if the guy can changed stripes apparently with this much ease and determination, then he probably has been like this forever, whether we noticed it or not (relating to the lies, the lack of a moral code, the inability to adhere to even his own stated ethics, etc).

[jberryhill]

57. Let me put it this way...

By the time my father died with Alzheimer's, I realized that the man who was my father had already been long gone.

I feel sorry for the person that McCain once seemed to be.

[ThatsMyBarack]

67. Nope, I don't have the time.

Obama::patriot: :: McCan't::nopity:

[GreenEyedLefty]

71. WHY?? I don't feel the least bit sorry for him.

Not one bit. Especially given that his campaign CHOSE to appear at a GM plant in a blue state! The Republicans are all about busting the unions and offshoring blue collar jobs! C'mon!

These people are all about cronyism, corporatism, and dare I say, fascism. McCain gets no sympathy from me, not one iota.

[firedupdem]

25. The funny thing was the Crypt Keepers face! She looked like

AWWW SNAP! Get me out of this fucking plant! Hilarious!!

[Binka]

44. Mrs. McShit Heard The "Unwashed" Masses Speak Their Piece

Fuck Beer-A-Rella it's about time she planted her feet on the ground. No magic carpet or pumpkin carriage Sin-D. Deal, you fucking twit.

[msedano]

35. olbermann's music

back in the 1960s, one of the most respected television news programs was Huntley Brinkley. Their theme music was the opening measures of Beethoven's 9th Symphony 4th movement. I noticed tonight watching that Olbermann clip he uses the first four notes, or so, of the Beethoven 9th last movement. (mea maxima culpa, i confess i have not watched olbermann's show, not since he left LA sports many years ago).

i recommend you listen to beethoven's 9th all the way through, get a sense of the magnificence alluded to by quoting it this way. the lyric is called the "ode to joy" and contains these key words:

Thy magic power re-unites
All that custom has divided,
All men become brothers
Under the sway of thy gentle wings.

recommended.

[DevonRex]

66. Wow. Thank you for that bit of knowledge. I hadn't thought it

all the way through to the lyrics until you posted. That is pretty powerful. :)

[slinkerwink]

43. that was SO funny!

[Frank Booth]

48. It's too bad they let those teenage hoods sit behind Obama. I thought they were going to throw down

on national tv.

Was that Elko? If so, I'm not surprised.

[Imagevision]

53. I saw that, man Mccain actually tried to smile exiting to Obama-Obama!

[ahem]

55. I haven't seen it yet. Is there a clip available online?

This sounds like a must-see moment!

:thumbsup:

[Fran Kubelik]

60. It's refreshing that a good percentage of the population sees through the BS

[bdamomma]

74. I only hope so, we have a country to save.

and also the world from these psychotic neo cons.

[TornadoTN]
