"She doesn't have standing to question me on this issue."

[MoJoWorkin]

This is what a REAL honest-to-goodness leader looks like.

[caledesi]

[1776Forever]

7. Oh my God when I hear him it is so refreshing & he isn't talking down to HRC!

Just bringing his points out so people can not say "He doesn't stand for anything" - Duh!!! Are you listening????

This is a real leader!!!!!!!!



:applause:

[mcollier]

10. I totally agree 1776

We must demand our Sr Governmental Leadership be of the highest degree of integrity, effective leadership skills, excellent communicators, highly responsible, of good judgment and character, and a real commitment to do whats right for the American People.

Strength of a leader is about the ability to lift up a people toward a common benefit for humankind.

I ask you to join the Obama team to help take our country in an new direction, one of openness, honesty, integrity, hope, respect, wise judgment and prosperity... Together we can make the difference. We all have worked hard to get power back to the people. With Barack Obama, we have that opportunity...

Thanks All,

MC

[yellerpup]

8. Oh, to have a grown up in the WH again!

A mature, thoughtful communicator with ethics and ideals...GObama! K&R!

[dbmk]

20. Trust me

To those of us viewing the US and your military might from the outside - that prospect is better than you can imagine.

That man will be recieved like a hero in Europe if he is able to oust the republicans. At least the type of republicans thats running the show now - McCain included.

Contrast with this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x102344

[yellerpup]

23. He will be a hero here if he can oust the Republicans!

I watched the clip from Keith Olbermann that you recommended and am grateful that we still have access to honest reporting and that military experts make it clear that they do not support John McCain or the current policies. I don't know anyone who doesn't want complete CHANGE in this country. Obama will make a great president! Thanks for your affirmation.

[Lena inRI]

9. Ahhh. . . he got me tearing up again. . .

. . .with his genuine speaking.

Stay YOUR COURSE, Senator Obama. WALK IT YOUR WAY because we all hear you loud and clear. We're walking with you tall and proud.

"The truth is incontrovertible.
Malice may attack it.
Ignorance may deride it.
But in the end, there it is."
(Winston Churchill)

11. AWESOME JOB ! GO OBAMA !!

[bluestateguy]

12. I'm going to love watching the neocons bitch and moan and kick and scream as he pulls the troops out

Waaaaaaaahhh!!!! We want our war back!!!!! Waaaahhhhh!!!!

[Zachstar]

32. And the Neocons will be shunned by a population in celebration mode!!

As the troops march home and the crowds give them the welcome back they deserve so much!

It is time to end the war and be the leader of ethics of the world again!

GOBAMA!!

[parasim]

13. The thing that bothers me about this video...

is the fact that so many Hillary supporters here on DU and elsewhere are so hung up on her getting the nomination that they either will not even watch this video or if they do watch it, will pretend they never heard his words or they'll say he is lying or some such.

I'm sorry, but I can't help but get pretty excited that the man speaking in this video could very well be our next president.

[rosetta627]

15. Very good, the man is just so impressive

He can come across as tough and principled. Very rare combination.

[lisainmilo]

16. I just want to say "WOW"!

He is awesome! Senator Obama will make a great president! I have no doubt he is a leader ready to lead this country here at home and abroad. He will bring respect and dignity back. I can't wait!

[Zachstar]

17. Awesome video!! He did GREAT!!!

Clinton can't rev up the Spin machine to high enough RPMs to counter this. He laid the smackdown about the Iraq issue and made it clear that HE has the higher ground on this issue.

[ingac70]

18. Awesome! n/t

[Wizard777]

19. "International war crimes commission." Now I have to say it.

I will walk a thousand miles through the the hottest part of hell to vote for this man.

[AtomicKitten]

21. I am THRILLED he now calls it the Bush-McCain-Clinton war.

And I hope Barack investigates the war crimes committed by this country in this illegal, immoral endeavor.

K&R

[ikojo]

37. The more he can associate Hillary with Bush

the better he will look. When I look at Hillary I see a female George W Bush, interested only in her "entitlement."

I am not happy that he, along with Hillary has voted to continue funding the war, however. I do wish he would stop the talk about Afghanistan being the "good war" and the talk of going into Pakistan.

I think people are tired of war and talk of war.

Go here for a take on the Clintons: http://counterpunch.com/

You Can't Lick the Boot that Kicks You
The Only Way to Fight the Clintons
By JOANN WYPIJEWSKI

Three weeks before the Ohio primary Blanche McKinney, an assistant manager at Stark Metro Housing and a member of CWA Local 4302 in Canton, told me, "Do we have the time to get someone in there who's inexperienced? No. It's got to be someone who on day one can immediately begin solving problems, because we don't have the time." Her union brothers in the group I was talking to were still undecided at that point, but McKinney was for Hillary. The only thing she wasn't sure she liked about the candidate was her health care plan: "a lot of Canadians don't like their program." She seemed relieved when I assured her Hillary was not promoting a Canadian-style single-payer system.

The people never have been interesting to the Clintons, not in organized, confident form. They have been interesting as election props and poll numbers, and interesting as victims, atomized, whose pain could be felt, causes championed, and misery exploited. They are interesting to Bill on rope lines, as exemplars of popular adulation and individuals to be charmed or lectured. Hillary used to hate the rope lines, hate being touched, and in the 1992 campaign she used to make sure that big men were around her to keep the plebs at bay. That changed as her ambition grew and she discovered Purell instant hand santizer. Having purelled universal health care as a live issue for a generation, she's back at it, just where she wants to be, as an answer to a murmured prayer, among a populace mobilized for nothing but elections.

Bill Clinton bribed and buttered up every member of Congress he could to pass NAFTA in 1993. The unions made speeches and phone calls and rallied here and there, but it wasn't much of a fight. And it wasn't the only issue that labor failed to make into an energetic public case. Even as unions were being crushed by employer intimidation during representation campaigns, they didn't fight en masse for labor law reform while Clinton had a Democratic Congress, and they didn't fight, after the long night of Reaganism, for a seachange in government priorities, for an industrial policy, for reinvestment to end the bleeding of their jobs and their communities and the class. Organized labor vowed to throw out the bums who had passed NAFTA, but ended up backing most of them for re-election in 1994, and did nothing to organize globally with other losers in the aggressively pro-capital regimen of neoliberal capitalism. The Democrats lost Congress, which only made unions (if not their members) more loyal. Clinton lectured delegates to the AFL-CIO convention in 1995 about how he was right on NAFTA and right in his vision of retraining and lifetime learning and the high-tech tomorrow, and the union men and women stood, clapping and hollering their approval. They told their members he was all that stood between them and destruction in the form of Republicans, and mobilized voters for his re-election in 1996 and that of his v.p., Al Gore, in 2000. Now workers come to Hillary's rallies and her "town halls" telling reporters of the multiple agonies of their towns and their counties and repeating the rumor judiciously planted by campaign supporters in the press and on the streets: "You know, privately she was against NAFTA from the beginning." Now she is the solution, the savior for everything that ails them.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

22. Look out, Hillary. I think that's your base sitting behind him.

[psychmommy]

36. that is exactly what i was thinking.

that is hysterical!!!!!:rofl:

[netgui68]

24. Obama is the best Promise for tomorrow

Hillary is trying hard to find anything she can to play off of, if his aide says he is going to be smart on getting out of Iraq, she uses it to question his sincerity of getting out, of course if he said he would get out by this day and this time, she would turn it to being irresponsible and a notice politician....either way on any issue she is going to try to twist it...stay strong and on message Barrack, you will win with class and by refusing to go to the gutter...besides, you can't win a peeing contest with a skunk and hillary is one funky skunk.

[Middle finga]

30. LOL... Now that's funny

[TexasLady]

25. How does he do it?

How does he throw a punch without ever leaving a visible bruise?

[Hope4Change]

26. Obama is the man...

I'm glad to see Democratic Underground turn so pro-Obama.

Any program including Ann Coulter as a character assesser is highly suspect in it self.
No matter how I dislike Senator Clinton atm, that gets the NEEDS FACTCHECK stamp.

[localroger]

33. Way to drum up sympathy for Hillary

So if a bunch of snakes call a salamander a lizard, is it an insult? I think I'll just look for a second ... oh wait, I already have a second opinion. Lizard. But not because the snakes said so.

[delt664]

34. Sorry....

about 15 sec into when I saw Anne Coulter, i had to turn it off. If she said the world was round, I would have to consider that it might be flat.

[BlueJac]

29. All Aboard the Obama train..............

It is time to get fired up!!!




:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Zachstar]

38. The Hope Train!

Time to win!

GOBAMA!!

[jlacivita]

31. Great to see him adding more details to his speeches n/t

35. K&R! "She doesn't have standing on this issue." -- B. Obama.
