BAM!

[Cirque du So-What]

1. He has the fire in his belly

[Dystopian]

2. Yes!! KandR....

Sometimes I think I'm dreaming...

peace~

[bertman]

3. "I CALL THAT OPPORTUNITY." Great line. Great speech.

[jacobfloyd]

4. GodDAAAAAMMMNNNNN!!!!!!!! SHIT!!!!!!! Obama doesn't play!!!

[Heathen57]

5. I love to listen and watch him speak

Obama is the best candidate we have seen in a very long time. He has learned that you can't just sit back and let the rethuglicans attack and attack without answering, something the DLC doesn't approve of.

I'm very hopeful of him (and us) winning the presidency. Bush is leaving a huge mess, but if anyone can clean things up, it will be Obama.

[Thrill]

6. Obama was fired up there like I've never seen him before. WOW

[paulkienitz]

7. That is the sound I've been waiting to hear for DECADES.

The sound of righteous an unapologetic liberalism.

[Buzz Clik]

8. One get's the impression that Obama has no intention of coasting to the finish line.

[road2000]

9. So glad he's on the attack, it brings me to tears.

We need this red meat. We're crying out for it. All the outrage at the cheap hustling of the Bush-Cheney-McCain agenda comes through in Obama's voice and delivery. He's lancing the boil that has been building for the past eight years. He's expressing the rage that began in 2000 and took so long to break through voters' consciousnesses, because so few were afraid to do it, or did not have access to the national pulpit that Obama has now.

Payback and a redeemed United States are dual dreams that this time, may just come true. Bravo, Barack Obama, for being our voice, and articulating this point so well.

10. ya know what..when one is in a relationship looks are the first thing that

one ignores, forgets, overlooks??? If you date someone because of looks and they are not a match..the looks quickly fall by the way and their personality becomes their compelling attribute...

When I watch Barack Obama I do not even see black any longer...his compelling attribute is his personality and his continuing fight for the middle class.

THAT IS WHY THE BRADLEY EFFECT WILL NOT MATTER..he has been in a relationship with America long enough for 'looks' to no longer matter!

11. New Republican Strategy

Is to use words like Socialism, Marxism to frighten the public. The unenlightened of America do not know what those words mean and certainly will not look them up. But the words sound scary.

[happydreams]

12. "Yea! I'm not a socialist I'm a neo-liberal just like you!....

We work for the same people and voted for the same bailout and want to continue the same wars!"

McCain done fucked up again.

[HughBeaumont]

13. McCain fails HughBeaumont's Law:

ANYONE who mentions Democrats = Marxists = Socialists = Commies in 2008 FAILS instantly and forfeits their right to speak about politics.

Dude. COME on. DUDE. Spew that shit to the rubes who don't know any better. PLEASE.

The Republican Almighty Saint Reagan benefited from TONS of Socialism when he was president. He didn't refuse his taxpayer-funded perks, salary, health care, transportation, flights, meals, meetings, etc. when he was in office. Reagone went on and on and on to the average American suburban idiot in the 60s about how "Soshulized medicine is bad for yew and your family. Why, you'll have the GOVERNMENT choosing everything FOR you, and running your lives BOOGA BOOGA!" because he COULDN'T say "Do you REALLY want to be paying for the same health care that beaners, spearchuckers, homos and camel jockeys would get?" Because to a Republican, any money not going to middle class/rich white guys = SOCIALISM!

Everything they say and everything they frame has to be read between the lines. It's either veiled racism, veiled sexism or anti-worker/pro-big business. These dopes have been robbing the useful idiots blind and they don't see it!

[stlsaxman]

14. Shit! Goddamn!! Get Off Your Ass And Jam!!!

[Bette Noir]

15. Well said, future President Obama.

I can't wait to watch your inauguration.

[checks-n-balances]

16. Well done, Mr. Pres..er, Senator!! 'Bout time somebody addressed the "Socialist"

name-calling! Yeah,let's get that straight right now - and in my home state, no less!

G'OBAMA!!:woohoo:

[BlueDonkey08]

17. Excellent!

:woohoo:

Take that, McSame.

[MJJP21]

18. From Rush Limbaugh

I've listened to Rush in the past for years and after watching this clip thought wouldn't it be nice to turn one of Rush's favorite phrases around on McBush? Rush was very fond of saying when it came to taxes that you should tell the govt "it's not your(their) money". If Barack would start incorporating this phrase into his new ads that would hit the dittoheads where it hurts and may wake some of them up.

[geckosfeet]

19. Smackdown.

[ghostsofgiants]

20. Am I the only one who WISHES he was a socialist?

It's not a dirty word, dipshits.

[shellgame26]

21. Over the past year

I've watched this guy get better and better.
