Obama is kicking ass in his AIPAC speech

[Happyhippychick]

He's an unbelievable speaker.

[ThatsMyBarack]

1. Link?

Or channel, please?

Also, what does AIPAC stand for?

[Happyhippychick]

American Israel Public Affairs Committee

2. did you mean "kissing" instead of "kicking?" nt

[Happyhippychick]

5. No

6. Maybe you didn't hear the same speech. Not only did he call for a two state solution

getting us out of Iraq, but also calling for a dialog with ALL parties in the region

[bdamomma]

11. hmm...diplomatic talks well that's a change

then bombing the hell out of people.

[still_one]

12. Also calling for an end to illegal settlements. In my view this was a very straight to the point

speech, without mincing too many words

and you are right talking verses bombing is a change

It is what the Hamilton/Baker committee recommended, a dialog with all parties, and what the bush administration has soundly rejected

[bdamomma]

14. oh the bushies do NOT like to talk to the enemies, they don't like

talking period, they love the blood and guts of innocent people.

16. Let's hope we really have a new day, and the killing stops /nt

18. Verses bombing? What does he have against poetry?

:silly:

20. YES!!! Please NO snarky here. I get plenty of snarky by just opening the door to my sister's home

and even more from my abusive husband and this computer key board that has been broken for 4 years. It retypes about 7 or 9 letters per word! Then my eye drope attacked me and I have 2 black eyes and several smashed orbital bones around my eyes and can't find an attorney in all of Dallas who will help me! Snarky is too much to bear right now. Does ANYONE in Dallas/FW know a personal njury lawyer who will take an oddball case? I bought an off brand name bottle of OTC eyedrops and I had blood coming out of my nose and mouth, went blind temporarily from the blood, couldn't see anything and tripped straight down on my face, broke all 0f the bones surrounding my eyes and was bleeding into the brain. My headache is a real boomer and CAN'T FIND A DAMN LAWYER!!! BOTHER!!

Snarky and bother! Drat!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

21. Eh?

:wtf:

[asthmaticeog]

22. By any chance, do you have a sister in Chicago?

[book_worm]

13. why don't you listen to the speech and make up your own mind instead of snarky comments?

3. He wasn't pandering either. He laid out the issues and the problems that MUST be addressed

A two state solution, a dialog with all parties in the region

[CherokeeDem]

4. Amazing...

he hit this one out of the park. I continue to be impressed with his intellect, style, compassion and commitment. Now let's see how Hillary is received. She is going to have to go a long way to top Obama's comments.

8. Definitely Presidental. Definitely has a full grasp of the issues, and the problems

associated with those issues

He was quite frank, and said the illegal settlements must end also

[Pirate Smile]

9. The part about the alliance between Jews and African Americans re the Civil Rights movement and the

murders of J. E. Chaney, Mickey Schwerner, and Andrew Goodman, etc.

It was wonderful.

[malaise]

10. That part was excellent n/t

[still_one]

15. It is true. During the civil rights movement Jews stood hand in hand with

African Americans.

There is no question in my mind that Obama is a TRUE uniter

What a change based on the last eight years

[malaise]

17. I know that well

I've always wondered why that close relationship fell apart.

[still_one]

19. Misunderstanding on both sides /nt
