If any of you are missing Kerry's speech this am, you MUST try to see it!

[Lex]

He is hitting HARD. Harder than I've ever heard before x 10.

Whoa.

Maybe CSPAN will have a copy you can see later.

It is hard-hitting. (See the thread "SPEECH ON NOW" for more specifics: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=845078&mesg_id=845078 )

1. Yes I agree he is hitting really hard !

Please please continue this way Senator Kerry .

[CrispyQ]

2. And they're covering it!!!!

Shouldn't they have some "news" caster speaking over & just summarizing what he says?

[XanaDUer]

3. Even Faux has it...

Eom...

[still_one]

4. even Fox is covering it

This is amazing

After the speech I am sure they will bring the talking heads to critisize it

I hope buchanan is one of them

[soothsayer]

5. He's cooking with grease!

bam bam bam
he is banging out points like crazy, pointing out *'s failures and the disasters that are iraq and the war on terror. All stuff you've heard kerry say before but delivered in a boom boom one-two punch fashion.

He still steps on his applause (there is alot of it, alot of cheering, and alot of jeering at *).

THe speech is a little circular in that he he circles back to points he's already made, but that's probably useful. Tell 'em, tell 'em what you told 'em, and tell 'em again.

6. BAM! He has mentioned OBL more times in this speech ...

than W has in 2 years.

[madmax]

7. Intelligent, forceful, coherent able to string 3 sentences

together. Looks, acts, speaks Presidential. I WANT President Kerry!!

:bounce:

John, go get them bush bastards!!!

[demokatgurrl]

9. what's odd....

They aren't showing a split screen with Bush or Bush's words on it!!!

[madmax]

8. bush = stubborn incompetence n/t

[molly]

10. Simple and to the point - even pugs can understand

what he is saying.

[disneyboy]

12. Helping!???

uuuuuuuuuum, WHY is he saying what BUSH should DO???????? Isnt that COUNTERPRODUCTIVE?????

[Lex]

14. He's pointing out what * SHOULD do, and thereby saying what HE would do

.
in the same situation.

He's calling him OUT on the carpet and demanding he take action in a certain way.

[Bridget Burke]

15. You mean Bush will steal all his ideas?

No, I think that Kerry is giving a Campaign Speech.

What "The President" should do. President Kerry, namely.

[molly]

16. Welcome to DU!

Kerry knows * will only do what benefits him. Kerry is laying out HIS plan.

[CrispyQ]

11. The boxing gloves are on!!!! Whoo! Whoo!!

[da_chimperor]

13. It's being shown on CNN international too

So the world can witness the glory that is John Kerry's public speaking ability.

[Lex]

17. Cool. Everyone needs to see it who can.

It was awesome.

[ClintonTyree]

18. Not to be...................

a fly in everyone's ointment here, but exactly how many people are going to see this speech in it's entirety? A late morning speech will be reduced to 10 seconds on the nightly news and all the great things in this speech will not be seen by a vast majority of voters.

Too bad, all those saying "Kerry has no plan, He's not forcefull enough, he doesn't stand for anything", will not see this.

[Lex]

19. It's signals the beginning of a new forceful approach by Kerry.

There will be other speeches, and he will be back on the road campaigning with this speech.

This was NOT the one and only time he'll give this speech.

[Road Scholar]

20. I agree!

If he does that between now and Nov.2nd, Bush won't have a chance!!
