1. So can we go over there and throw this in their faces now? lol

And how funny was the person who said they liked Spitzer.

Of course hindsight is 20/20, but it should have been no surprise that events played out like they did .... and I'm glad I was here to see it all.

2. Wow! Brilliant stuff - thanks for this HopeOverFear.

3. the old freeper thread that is linked is even better

Lots of people actually recognized Obama as a threat. One person even said not to rhyme the name with Osama, because it "makes us seem small minded". LOL. I doubt he is around any more.

4. Check out this bit of sanity - either a troll or has surely been purged from the freeper rolls.

My nephew in Chicago and a friend of mine have both met Obama quite a few times. The friend through his job and my nephew had played basketball with him at East Bank Club a few times. Both are Republicans and both say Obama is about the nicest, most presentable guy you could ever be around. They both say they will not vote for him because he is so liberal, but I can tell they have debated maybe doing so. He is going to be impossible to beat for the senate seat and a threat for higher office down the road.

5. I saw that!

And some other "rational" (well, for free republic) comments as well....def none of that anymore! Lots of "great speech, he's too smart to be a Dem and will switch sides in a couple of years" comments too, crazy.

6. Amazing...that whole thread was like a crystal ball lol

8. That FR thread: "Obama is an oily scumbag who I predict will have all the staying power of Pokemon"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Jackeens]

9. And: "By next month he will be a nobody. He's a flash in the pan." This is pure GOLD!

[Jackeens]

10. And: "Nobody named Obama is going to be elected President of the United States."

:rofl:

"If republicans saw Obama's speech last night, they saw the beginning of the end for them and they know it."

[FrenchieCat]

14. Wow!

[HopeOverFear]

15. Isn't that something? DU had some Nostradamuses LOL

[davidpdx]

11. You mean the black guy with the funny name got elected?

No shit?

:sarcasm:

Is this the same guy who they said would never make it past Iowa and then won the state?

The same guy who broke fundraising records?

The same guy who didn't make the 2000 DNC convention because his creditcard was rejected at a car rental place?

Well I'll be damned!

[HopeOverFear]

12. Yep, that's the one

:rofl:

[SoxFan]

13. "That guy"!

[BR_Parkway]

16. I'm sure the guy saying "he's a little to the right of Kerry" forgot he'd

made that comment when OxyRush and crew started up how we'd nominated the most liberal Senator there was (seems like we always pick "the most liberal" then spend the next few years bitching about how centrist they are)
