An Extraordinary Speech !!

[kentuck]

Senator Barack Obama just finished an extraordinary speech before AIPAC, the Jewish-American group. In explicit detail, he explained the relationship between our country and Israel. He outlined in well-defined terms the threats and the needs of the Israeli people and the security concerns of both of ur nations. It was an educational speech for many listeners. Senator Obama showed that he was aware and educated on the Jewish history and the current events affecting the Jewish state. Never in history has any President or presidential candidate explained so thoroughly the relationship and the future of our two countries in such intricate detail.

2. It was quite fantastic...

I usually avoid AIPAC speeches, but that was something else.

3. I agree, excellent speech. But,

it looks like McSame is about to send Lieberman out to tear down that great speech. What an ass.

Press conference coming up.

4. Yes. I was really impressed. He's the leader we need right now. nt

5. and it wasn't just pandering either. He called for a two state solution,

a halt to illegal settlements, getting us out of Iraq, and a dialog with all parties in the region

In my view he demonstrated a grasp of the issues, and the problems involved

6. I liked how he ended the speech by opening a way to repair the

bond between Jewish Americans and African Americans that has been frayed by the likes of Farrakhan and his wacky conspiracy theories.

7. And this is the kind of President he will be.. talking to us as adults, not in talking points :-)

8. Will we know how to act? Adults? It's been so long... nt

11. It's going to be a hard transition. Some of us won't make it.

We've been acting like spoiled children since 1980, good luck to us!

[babylonsister]

13. Hmmm. Traumatized children is more like it. nt

[Hutzpa]

15. How about lost children

or spoilt children.

[glitch]

19. Spoiling = abuse IMO, so agreed. nt

9. Republicans all across the country are wondering today "how bad is this going to be"?

16. Last night, that's where I found the most comfort; thinking about

the rethugs and how disappointed they must be that their gal didn't win. Now, they're up a creek, no paddles. :evilgrin:
If I didn't have standards, I'd tune in to rushbo and hannity to see if I can hear heart attacks.

10. I'll say! Joe Scarborough looked shaken...

as though Obama had hit every point of his perceived weakness... I think Morning Joe may be seeing the light! :rofl:

Abso-fricking-loootly fantastic speech...

[katmondoo]

12. Hillary speaking now

No where near the power of Obama's speech. Not offering any solutions so far to the Israeli problem. Not getting the huge applause Obama received. She did say a few nice things about Obama. Sounds like she is supporting his views.

[JimGinPA]

17. To Her Credit, She Did Some Serious Name-Dropping

:eyes:

[Hutzpa]

14. That speech left me

well... emotional to say the least, this man has an enormous appeal
and intelligent and it is beyond belief that some people cannot let
go of their self absorb narcissist ego to embrace him.

[alfredo]

18. I like the way he brought in the civil rights movement and the bond

between the African Americans and Jews.

20. I missed it, I'l look it up. thanks
