[femmocrat]

[Hope And Change]

[Ian David]

[Hope And Change]

7. Yay....

:bounce:

[Muttocracy]

8. and now he's really on stage (cleaned out my ears with the cheering through my headphones!)

[tishaLA]

9. I loved Claire's "blah blah blah..."

[jenmito]

10. I loved how she said they SAY he's arrogant, unpatriotic, blah blah blah...and they're WRONG!

I'm glad she put that out there.

[Muttocracy]

11. I am glad to hear him emphasizing that his tax plan will benefit 90% of Americans

If people just vote their economic self-interest, we win by a landslide.

12. Gobama!

[Muttocracy]

13. kicking butt, smart, funny, woo hoo!

[jenmito]

14. But I heard he has no sense of humor, can't speak without a teleprompter, and is arrogant!

I can't WAIT 'til the debates happen and the people see the REAL Obama vs. the REAL McCain. It won't even be close! :bounce:

[grantcart]

39. its too subtle I don't think anybody is going to get it

you either have to go more over the top or repeat the message in the same thread several times

BTW thanks for kicking my Posts here is one that needs it as I will be out all day.

[gblady]

16. wow.....

the crowd is totally fired up!!!
Fun to watch.

[Muttocracy]

17. I hope this gets some of the play that McCain's ads get on the news for free. nt

[rebel with a cause]

27. Don't count on it.

mccain is the media's darling.

But there is no bias. :sarcasm:

[Muttocracy]

29. well, of course it's *liberal* bias

:sarcasm:

[Hope And Change]

18. Obama is on FIRE!

:bounce:

[nc4bo]

19. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

He just brought up USE IT OR LOSE IT!!

He just brought up that the oil would go to the world oil market not stay here!!


GOBAMA!!!!

[Muttocracy]

20. he did an excellent job explaining the real oil situation so everyone can understand

[TexasLady]

21. he absolutely DID!!!

just like Biden did on MTP a while back. Good Job, Obama!

[Muttocracy]

22. Obama 3-pointers from far out - they are trying to scare you!

[Muttocracy]

24. GOP - we know you don't like what we're doing, but he's risky!!!111

[jenmito]

26. "Things are so bad, it's too risky NOT to change!"

[gblady]

36. that was such a great point!

I hope they run with that one.

[jenmito]

41. I'm watching tv and no mention of it at all. Just video of the crowd cheering as he shakes hands

while they discuss if he's too popular, like Britney and Paris (showing the latest McCain ad). :eyes:

[otohara]

23. He's Just Amazing

talking about change - it's gonna be hard. I believe he's the only one who can guide this country through the change we need.

[Muttocracy]

25. yep, this is not about dreamy pie in the sky - I love it when he says it will be hard work.

unlike post- 9/11 "go shopping"

[Muttocracy]

28. a presidential candidate demanding energy efficiency! :faint:

[mucifer]

30. The way he connects with people reminds me of Bill Clinton

[Muttocracy]

31. I noticed he used the phrase "working hard and playing by the rules"

wasn't that a Clintonian phrase? :)

[Born_A_Truman]

32. Is it over?

I missed it!

[mucifer]

33. There will be plenty more over the next few months

[Muttocracy]

34. Just finished. Bet they'll post it on his website - 'twas awesome! nt

[rebel with a cause]

37. I feel for the secret service guys.

Did you see them when he was in the crowd and they were all around him, looking in all directions? So intent. I hope they do a good job and keep him safe. I hope they like him enough to want to do a good job.

[Muttocracy]

38. didn't see that, but I saw a different photo of the Berlin speech

taken from further behind him as he walked out. You could see more agents than in the closer shots, and I though, WOW, Secret Service nightmare.

I agree with you - Seems like he often has the same few agents with him close by - I hope they really like him.

[rebel with a cause]

42. A couple of these guys looked

really young and cute. As in young man cute in an old woman's eyes. Which just proves I am not dead yet. :rofl:

Sorry, I couldn't stay serious and on point.;)

[Muttocracy]

43. well, we can't have our young cute nominee with old angry SS agents ;)

[rebel with a cause]

44. .........

:rofl:

[Muttocracy]

45. who should get those agents?

:think:

:D

[rebel with a cause]

46. Me and you?

I could use a good man to push my wheel chair around. :rofl:

Besides, my unmarried daughter lives with me. (wink, wink)

[Muttocracy]

47. ewww, no thanks. nt

[rebel with a cause]

48. again

:rofl:

[gblady]

35. I love how he emphasizes....

I need you to hold congress accountable...
I need you to hold me accountable...
I need you to pay attention...
I'm going to post all legislation so you can read it...
I want my cabinet to get out of their offices and listen to the people...
I want to continue to hold town hall meetings...
I want your comments...

[nc4bo]

40. Me too. nt
