THERE YOU ARE!

I was getting worried :)

[silent_jonny]

Baby Barack

LOL!

[Wolfstar]

but how DARE anyone bash their grandmother for the whole world to hear???
All for political gain.

Yes. He essentially called his grandmother a racist just to make a point that excuses Wright. Disgusting doesn't begin to describe what Obama did in that speech. A speech some are calling the greatest since King's "I have a dream" speech. All I can do is shake my head in wonder at how low some people are willing to go to push this empty suit to the White House.

Can Chikezy live up to last week or will he be back to bartending on the Love Boat?

LOL!

[twin2]

You are just the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t believe it, I never win anything:)

[silent_jonny]

Wow, House is moving to Mondays beginning in April.

And Hell's Kitchen returns Tuesday April 1, right after Idol :)

Don’t worry - there’s always Thread 2.

I know the feeling - missed by about 10 seconds and 2 posts.

That was the most sickening of a speech so barf-able, we were posting dry-heave alerts after 15 minutes.

Exploiting your grandmother as moral equivalence to your racist pastor.

And the MSM is calling him the next MLK. WTF?

[silent_jonny]

Monchichi has this weird look on his face when he’s not smiling. It’s a weird, dopey Gilbert Godfrey/Alfred E. Neumann kind of look.

LMAO! He looks just like him!

[Vicki]

Sick of Beatle songs.

[silent_jonny]

LOL. He'll never make it. He just looks like he should be working permanently at Walgreen's.

Ha! That was good :)

[mfccinsd]

Will it be the same thread? If so, I’ll head there (haven’t gotten to see it but have your re-ping with the corrected link from earlier)

Thanks for doing it! I hate that there are so many things on at the same time!!

[Miss Didi]

You are so talented, Jonny! Love it! ;)

BWT, while we're on the subject of speeches, why is it that the lib media only think Dims are capable of giving great speeches?

While it might not have been filled with Leftist platitudes, President Reagan's speech in which he said, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall," only did a little thing -- like changed the world and brought freedom to about 100,000,000 people.

And President Bush 43 has given several extremely important speeches. His first inaugural is the only speech I've heard in my lifetime that contained a passage I instantly memorized. It was a beautiful, uplifting speech that ended with the following passage I never tire of:

After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: "We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?"

Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The years and changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.

We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose. Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.

Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.

This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.

Compare the beauty, dignity and uplifting message from President Bush to the crap the likes of Wright and Obama feed us. Obama. Greatest speech in 40 years. Yeah, right. Only in Leftist wet dreams, that is.

That was fab...Thunder Pig put it on YouTube:

This is not SPARRRRRTAAAAAGH! *swoon*

You notice every other movie is doing their version of that line now? In the commercials for the movie Doomsday a guy screams "This is our CIT-TAY!"

[Wolfstar]

And the MSM is calling him the next MLK. WTF?

In doing so, all they reveal is how shallow and empty they are -- devoid of dignity and sense of propriety. Obama's self-serving little lecture may have played well in the black "community" and Leftist drawing rooms, but the stink of it is still wafting across the country.

[silent_jonny]

And he’s probably got the Costco sized bag of Doritos backstage, too.

LMAO!

[silent_jonny]

They just showed that ad for the new anti-American war movie. It's disgusting!!

I agree. And it's a sponsor for AI--they're promoting it on the Idol website.

[silent_jonny]

Stoploss with Ryan Phillipe (he creeps me out)

Me too. I didn't like him in "Flags of Our Fathers" either. Another dreary "America doesn't care about veterans" movie. I'm sensing a pattern.
