Senator Obama's Victory Speech in Madison, WI
Obama08 ^ | 12 February 2008 | Barack Obama

Posted on 02/12/2008 9:15:23 PM PST by Racehorse

. . . the same Washington game . . .

It’s a game where the only way for Democrats to look tough on national security is by talking, and acting and voting like Bush-McCain Republicans, while our troops are sent to fight tour after tour of duty in a war that should’ve never been authorized and should’ve never been waged. That’s what happens when we use 9/11 to scare up votes, and that’s why we need to do more than end a war – we need to end the mindset that got us into war.

That’s the choice in this primary. It’s about whether we choose to play the game, or whether we choose to end it; it’s change that polls well, or change we can believe in; it’s the past versus the future. And when I’m the Democratic nominee for President – that will be the choice in November.

"Bush-McCain Republicans" Yup, McCain is "in". He has graduated to the object of "Standard Rhetoric", Donk-a-donk style!

Barry is sinister and he is scary.
If he is elected, I do not believe we will ever recover from his presidency.

Wow, what a pile of BS. He is basically saying that we got into war because of a 'mindset' not because we have enemies that sent planes into buildings on our soil.

Note that he is in a sense fearmongering. Making people afraid and negative on those who tell the truth about enemies.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

“Bush-McCain Republicans”

Yup. smart rhetorical move of course.

But if he can do that, we can call him Barack Hussein Obama, the raised Muslim son of a Kenyan elite member of a brutal political organization.

He doesn’t really “say” anything. It’s really amazing, I listened to the whole pathetic thing, he never says anything.

he’s the guy in the meeting that is unprepared and has no clue what he’s talking about, everybody is looking around wondering what the hell is going on.

Loose quote:
I’ve seen legislative mandates fail for lack of change, we have to have mandates of change, hope in change creates mandates of change people hope and change mandates hope to change mandates that change hope to change.

“Change, change, change”, are we fed up hearing that word? Change to what, change does not necessarily mean it’s good. Ha, we may just be longing for the good old days when George Bush was in the White House.

His record is the “change” he speaks of. From capitalism to socialism. We’ll wind up as a third world country!

“Barry is sinister and he is scary. If he is elected, I do not believe we will ever recover from his presidency.”

Heh, he’s not scary. And yes, we will survive his presidency.

In fact, I doubt if there will be any “recovery” needed. He’s a puff, a rock star, a Madison Avenue virtual talking head, with no real ability to implement anything he’s talking about.

When Barry moves into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, he’s going to find out how hard it is for any president to get his agenda turned into stone. Fact is, his ideas and platitudes are way too radical for the real world of national and world politics. He’ll soon discover that he is NOT King, and really doesn’t have the power to issue royal edicts.

You just watch. He’ll find out. Not to mention, he’ll galvanize our side like nobody’s business. I think this whole thing is going to work to our advantage, in the long run.
