1. Kick. It's at the U. of Tx. Looks packed!

[NightWatcher]

2. looks like there are more than the 1300 that saw Bill

WICHITA FALLS — About 200 in the crowd of nearly 1,500 went home Sunday night when Bill Clinton was more than two hours late to a rally for his wife's presidential bid, but those who stayed cheered wildly throughout his speech.

(snip)

As the crowd grew antsy after the rally had not started, some campaign workers led cheers. More than a dozen people took chairs from the media area to sit down, while others sat on the floor. Many started milling around or took restroom breaks. Campaign volunteers also brought out water after at least one woman was seen being treated in an ambulance.

5. Thanks for the article. Yeah, there was a story about Bill Clinton having empty seats at another

"rally" a few days ago. I guess he's a "has been" and I hope his wife will not win to have him back in the WH.

3. Where is Barack today? I haven't seen him all day.

Hillary was in Toledo and she'll be making her away around East Texas the rest of the day.

Where is Barack?

[Connie_Corleone]

4. He has 3 events in Texas today.

It's Hillary comeback day on the cable news stations, so it's kind of hard to get information on Obama today.

[jenmito]

6. SO true-"It's Hillary comeback day on the cable news stations..."

That's obvious.

[NJSecularist]

8. May I ask where he is going to be?

I can't find anything on his website.

18. On the radio (all RW here), only Hillary is getting focus today--

on all the little news breaks, they use clips from her speeches and comments today, and Obama is an afterthought. There is a genuine push to promote her today.

[catgirl]

24. I've noticed the glowing attention Hillary's getting in MSM

There's even a glowing article about Bill Clinton in Ohio. A bit
obvious, isn't it? They just want this primary race to continue
for their own benefit.

[TwilightGardener]

25. MSNBC--just in the span of the last few minutes, they had an objective

(supposedly) pundit call Obama "messianic", and mentioned "national security", Canada/NAFTA and Rezko--and now they're going to interview Howard Wolfson. Coupled with SNL last week and this week, I don't think there's any doubt who GE/NBC/MSNBC is pulling for.

[Lucinda]

48. It's all about the ratings!

[timbo_houston_tx]

7. Houston tonight

He's going to be in Houston tonight downtown. My partner and I will be there. I am so nervous I need to see him and get motivated!

[jenmito]

9. Good for you! Can you let us know how it was when you get back?

:hi:

[elixir]

31. He's in the broom closet talking to Jesse Jackson (ala SNL).

[JimGinPA]

10. Thanks

K&R

[jenmito]

15. No problem!

Thanks!

[suston96]

11. Is Michelle Obama proud to be in Texas?

[jenmito]

13. She'll be proud to be First Lady.

Will you be proud of her?

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

17. Im' proud as an American to watch and listen to her speak

she inspires me tremendously.

[NightWatcher]

12. she is so smooth. I cant wait till she runs in 2016

Princeton and Harvard Law grad......

I'd love for her to be our first female president. She's a very classy lady.

[jenmito]

14. She's tearin' it up! Going through ALL the steps Obama has been through to get here..

all the bars he's not only met but jumped over!

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

16. reminds me: Clintons set a double standard for Obama

if Obama had lost 11 straight contests, he wouldn't be in the contest right now.

There's a serious double standard going on.

Hillary whines about "sexism" yet wants to be "your girl".

She cries on tv but says shes the stronger leader.

She whines that Obama campaign is racist, but it is her husband who makes
racial slurs.

She loses 11 contests in a row, but says Obama must do better.

Hillary can't win without lies and smearing, neither of which are good for the democratic party.

[jenmito]

20. Exactly. And sadly, the media goes along with her narrative.

Sad. I just hope (and think) Obama will STILL win DESPITE the hurdles he's overcome and STILL has to overcome. It's getting to be closer and closer to a reality!

[SoFlaJet]

28. and she tells Russert that

she doesn't deal in hypotheticals but then puts out an ad with a hypothetical 3AM scenario

[bicentennial_baby]

19. Wtf? Did it just reset for everyone else?

:wtf: It just started over for me.

[jenmito]

21. Sorry-not for me.

:shrug:

[bicentennial_baby]

22. Well, now I get to listen to it again!

:D

[jenmito]

23. True.

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

26. Wow...Michelle and I have something important in common...

Both of our Dads got MS at a young age. Sad that we have that in common, but I feel more solidarity with her than ever before. :o

[jenmito]

38. As do I.

Not my father, but I do.

[bicentennial_baby]

39. ...

:hug:

[jenmito]

40. Thanks, bicentennial_baby!

:hug: for your father!

[bicentennial_baby]

42. Thank you....I have the double whammy

Dad has had MS my whole life, Mom got diagnosed with ALS last summer. Sigh. Sometimes, life really sucks ass.

:hug:

[jenmito]

43. Wow...

that DOES suck! :hug: for ALL of you! I got MS when I was 28 and I'm 40 now. I got it bad.

[bicentennial_baby]

44. Hugs to you!

My Dad was diagnosed at age 31. He's 65 now. My brother and I just try to stay positive and make the best of it. :)

:hug:

And this is one reason why we NEED a Dem in the WH! Stem Cell fucking Research! :mad:

[jenmito]

47. Thanks...

Yeah. It almost always happens early in life. YES-we NEED embryonic stem cell research!!! :hi:

[book_worm]

27. Where other than Houston tonight is Obama speaking today?

I hope he's as active as Hillary appears to be.

[TwilightGardener]

29. MSNBC and CNN are covering her every utterance today. I'll bet they're

just ignoring him.

[jenmito]

41. And they're playing the SNL skit over and over, while repeating only negative stories about Obama...

one DEBUNKED and the other where he's not involved.

[Cha]

49. Well, I hope the American people

can figure out by now that the m$$$m will screw them over in a New York second to fatten their bottom line.

[elixir]

30. Let's pray she doesn't let something slip. Here's hoping.

[bicentennial_baby]

32. Oh, come on...

The woman is giving a fantastic speech. Can't you just go into one of the many nasty threads and spew there? :)

[grrr050]

33. Beware

If I'm running Obama's campaign I wouldnt let her speak.... not until after the election is over.

[bicentennial_baby]

35. Why?

:)

[Forkboy]

45. You should worry about running your mouth.

So far you're batting zero in the intelligence department.

[Forkboy]

46. Your concern is touching.

[Jensen]

34. My question is ....America can we do this?????

I believe...Yes We Can!

[jenmito]

37. YES WE CAN!
