8. NONE of the cable networks are showing this. They showed all of PALIN and McCain's speeches, though

JEEZ!

[kcalla]

24. Media and Obama

Mainstream media is getting active for McCain. Todays NY Times is like a McCain promo add. It even promotes the Letterman show this Thursday. I think CBS and Letterman set this one up from day one. Imagine it is happening after the last debate perhaps Dem's should boycott letterman this week. Biden is on Jay Lenno

[Diamonique]

44. I watched it on MSNBC.

[oviedodem]

9. why is it that Obama alsways knows the basic economic facts of the states he visits?

It is called BASIC COMMON SENSE AND INQUISITIVENESS

[MadMaddie]

37. Curiosity is an American Value! But not to Republicans!

[Muttocracy]

10. after boos - "we don't need that..we just need to vote!"

now, how hard was that? leadership and class.

[jenmito]

16. None of the cable networks were showing his speech yet when he said that.

I hope they show it later.

[oviedodem]

11. Def. of a leader: crowd boos when he says McCain, Obama says "we don't need that, we need to vote"

[Schulzz]

12. Obama stops boos for McCain: We don't need that! We just need to vote! nt

[Sebass1271]

28. IT IS THE STATE OF OHIO FLAG.. I JUST

[Hope And Change]

46. Here`s the Ohio flag...

[Sebass1271]

54. thanks!!

i didn't know how to copy it.. ; )

[Sebass1271]

26. Some DUer asked earlier what about tax for 401k??? now

Obama heard him/her.. he wil give tax incentives for ppl that are losing their homes to take up to 15% of the funds to pay if they are losing their homes!!.

Good call Obama!!..

[W_HAMILTON]

27. Why has no one proposed the "American Jobs" credit before?

Obama said he would begin a tax credit for businesses that hired new AMERICAN workers over the next couple of years. Do we not have something like this already? If not, why the hell not? It seems to be common sense. We are giving all these tax breaks to businesses, most of which screw over American workers, so why wouldn't we reward companies that benefit the American economy to entice more companies to keep jobs here, and treat their workers fairly, etc?

[chalky]

48. No, we don't have something like this already. Why?

Because THE MIDDLE CLASS WORKER DIDN'T MATTER. It's just that simple.

[Democat]

56. Who do you think funds Republican (and many Democratic) politicians?

Companies that do not want to be told that they should support American workers pay many of America's politicians each year.

Obama is fighting for real people. McCain is fighting for corporations (and paying lip service to some naive religious people to get them to try to support the corporations without understanding how they are being used).

[kid a]

29. It is an awesome, detailed, presidential speech - KUDOS -

[Sebass1271]

32. I AM JUST SO HAPPY.. this gentleman will be our next

President. I am jumping filled with joy and hope.

:bounce:

[oviedodem]

30. He is really giving some "straight talk" today

[RadicalTexan]

31. Also livestreaming on CSPAN radio on iTunes

[Sebass1271]

34. great!!!!.. Radio listeners must also be able to listent to this

[Bread and Circus]

33. I really love this speech.

[Heather MC]

36. It's like his FIRST State of the UNION Speech!!!

[Ichingcarpenter]

38. Believe in yourselves, each other and the future of this nation- great speech

McCain's got nothing

[Bread and Circus]

41. I rarely use smilies....but here's how I feel right now...

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[gateley]

35. And he's actually giving a new PLAN, unlike McCain's 'economic speech'

this morning, where, as Joe said, all he talked about was the polling.

[Bread and Circus]

39. I didn't hear McCain's speech, but Obama's is a home run. I hope he keeps retelling it all week.

[Chloroplast]

49. I did and it was a dud; McCain STILL hasn't tailored his speech for the changing economic climate.

[mzmolly]

40. Woo hoo! I was hoping he would do this a few weeks ago, but his timing is

better than mine of course. ;)

[MadrasT]

42. YES. WE. CAN.

:bounce: :woohoo:

[Voltaire]

43. I'm in awe of this man

I have no idea what the future may bring. But I am more hopeful than I have been in many a day.

[AFSCME girl]

50. Me, too, Voltaire.

He is just fantabulous!! :bounce: :hi:

[Doctor_J]

45. Pretty inspiring for a Marxist, elitist, Muslim terrorist

Let's see Sarah wax on the economy for 30 min.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Schulzz]

47. I'm really looking forward to that debate on Wednesday.

:woohoo:

[Vinca]

51. Well, he did it again.

By the end of the speech I was ready to start bawling I was so moved. This man is exactly what this country requires at this time in history.

[Sebass1271]

52. SI. SE. PUEDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA NOSOTROS LOS LATINOS TE ADORAMOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AFSCME girl]

53. You know, I was just thinking

to myself, it's alot easier to get through the tough times, when you have someone telling you that, in the long run, things are gonna be okay - especially if we work together to solve our problems and lift each other up. There is no doubt that we have ALOT to fix, but I feel like Sen. Obama understands what the average person is going through and struggling with on a daily basis.

[cui bono]

55. Oh geez... I turned on the TeeVee and had to see Grumpy Gramps.

Not good when I've just woken up.

[cui bono]

57. Dammit!!! I tried cspan stream and that's Failin' Palin!

Not only that but I click on this tab and the cspan video window won't go away! It's hovering over every page of every other tab!

MAKE IT STOP!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
