Obama Oval Office Speech Announcing End of Combat Operations in Iraq @ 8PM EDT [LIVE THREAD]

[Severa]

I searched all over and didn't see a live thread on tonight's speech soooooo here it is! (Be gentle on me, in all my years here this is my FIRST LIVE THREAD!)

[blueyon]

OK I can not watch...Did he spray paint grey onto his hair some to make him look older (like that will make us take him more serious) or not?

[concerned about politics]

His voice, his eyes, all evil.

And he's wearing too much make up. He looks like a demonic transvestite.

[Clock King]

Weird, watching him. The teleprompter is in a strange location because his focus is slightly off-camera. It’s like he’s looking past you.

[Mr. Wright]

Did he mention that he is NOT going to prosecute the
b - s - a- r - who did the hit on the USS Cole?

[LADY J]

When he spoke to the tropps earlier today - his hands were flailing about, pointing & he looked totally discombobulated.

They made him fold his hands tonight. Must be tuff for him not to point at us peons.

Luv it when he tries to look presidential & tries to sound like he knows what he's talking about!!

But, MAKE NO MISTAKE - he comes off sounding like a petulant child, instead.

[Beaten Valve]

Talking about the midle class now.

Here comes the Bush-Bashing..

[chooseascreennamepat]

“Can someone tell me where “Pockistan” is? Thanks....”

That’s how Muslims say Pakistan.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Something sounds “off” in his voice, like he has a cold. If I weren’t looking right at him I’d swear it was an impersonator. Real close but not his normal voice.

[azishot]

Prosperity at home???

[Rebelbase]

Blaming record deficits on the war. What a lying asshole!

[Carley]

Actually, pockeeston is under water at the moment.

[Jaded]

Anybody win at B/S Bingo yet? I loathe this creature.

[Severa]

Can’t find one, this damn speech is all OVER the place...

[relee]

Is his right ear sweating?

[McLynnan]

Good evening. Did you see he blew off our Governor again today?

[circlecity]

Now he’s essentially blaming Bush for spending too much.

[circlecity]

Now he’s essentially blaming Bush for spending too much.

[ladyvet]

Growing middle class???!!! Is he kidding? Blaming the war for our economic problems!!!!!

[StarFan]

Yup I believe he said there’s no doubt how much GWB supported our troops. The trops know it and we know it, so why did he have to call GWB? Did the little man need a pat on the back?

[COUNTrecount]

There never is. Why should this speech be different.
