[counterpunch]

Obama promises some Diff'ret Strokes.

[counterpunch]

Obama promising some Diff’rent Strokes.

[xcamel]

Still saying nothing better than anyone else out there.

[woofie]

Same old change

[ari-freedom]

Whatcha talkin about, Obama?

[Old Sarge]

On November 4th, we must stand up and say: “Eight is enough.”

Bets on how many times that will be repeated?

[homeguard]

[HerrBlucher]

the American promise has been threatened once more.

I agree Obamacles....its threatened by your Marxist/Stalinist candidacy. Your a fraud and you will lose in a landslide, and you will be forever known as the most ridiculous figure in American politics. Cheers!

On November 4th, we must stand up and say: “Eight is enough.”

What a Brady Bunch of cr*p...

[Hildy]

I am SO sick of this guys voice already. What voice will he use tonight ya think? The “HARVARD” voice, or the “HARLEM” voice? It’s funny how his cadence changes depending on what group he’s speaking to.

[snippy_about_it]

“Four years ago, I stood before you and told you my story – of the brief union between a young man from Kenya and a young woman from Kansas who weren’t well-off or well-known, but shared a belief that in America, their son could achieve whatever he put his mind to.

Sure Barry, that's why your father split and your mother took you to Indonesia.

[VanDeKoik]

On November 4th, we must stand up and say: “Eight is enough.”

What do me say next, Facts of Life?

[Radix]

I picked up Jerome Corsi’s new book yesterday. (I'm only on page 60). I am sensing a build up to some serious criticisms.

There is a storm coming against Obama.

Hopefully it will not be too late for folks to wise up concerning this character.

[Conservative Vermont Vet]

I just turned on Fox (9:05) and what a bunch of BS as Mike McDonald tries desperately and fails in every conceivable aspect of imitating Ray Charles in his rendition of America right down to the tempo, accompaniment, mannerisms and warbly voice.

Worst yet was his dedication to (paraphrasing as I thought I would get sick) to "all those who want our country back."

If this is any indication of this night is going to be, I can envision at least 5 adult beverages to follow--no popcorn.

[snippy_about_it]

Let me know what you think once your finished. I wonder if those folks supporting Obama even have brains enough to wise up!

[chris_bdba]

The only way I can stand to sit through this speech is to take a drink each time he says hope or change. Hopefully by the end of the speech I won’t be able to read anymore!

[sportutegrl]

More of you have cars you can’t afford to drive, credit card bills you can’t afford to pay and tuition that is beyond your reach

“These challenges are not all of government’s making. But the failure to respond is a direct result of a broken politics in Washington and the failed presidency of George W. Bush.

It's Bush's fault you can't pay your credit card.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

****credit card bills you can’t afford to pay****

I had high credit card balances in the 90's. It never occurred to me to blame Clinton for it. I just went out and got a 2nd job. I geuss it was Clinton's fault afterall. LOL!

[muawiyah]

Sounds like a call for the people to rise up and overthrow Congress.

[muawiyah]

Definitely like to have my country back, and one of the first thoughts that crossed my mind was to kick this simpering puke, Mike McDonald, out on his butt!
