[don-o]

Anyone going to watch this?

[Volunteer]

Will he return to being Barry for the 2008 race?

He does understand that Lincoln was Republican, right?

[Sonar5]

oh man are you wrong about that.....

this twerp doesn't have a chance in middle america.

they'll see right through this black talk.

I wonder who did his latest voice retraining. I haven't heard him talking like this before, honestly....

[don-o]

LMAO - stolen!

[veronica]

I pray the Dems run with a Hillary/Obama ticket. Talk about a GOP landslide.

[trumandogz]

I realize that he is saying very little but they way he is saying it middle America will eat this up.

[GOP_Lady]

He loves us! He really loves us!!! LOL

[syriacus]

He is trying to sound less articulate. I hear he didn't shower this morning either.

LOL!!!

[Mo1]

He's terrible on the stump.

Look at the crowd .. they are the ones who will be voting for him in the primary and they love him

[kabar]

Hillary will beat him in South Carolina ending his hopes for VP. Obama will come up second in the primaries and be selected as VP for his showing.

[magellan]

"Obama thinks it's right and proper that 360,222 Union soldiers died during the Civil War to free the slaves and keep the US united."

"Obama thinks it's wrong that 3,000 Americans died to free millions of Iraqis and keep Iraq united."

How I would love to see a moderator ask Obama this question. Preceded by the question "Senator Obama, are you a racist?"

How I know it will never happen.

[Sonar5]

no way, middle america will see right through his clap trap crap.

The dems winning congress is the best way for a Republican to win the White House.

I still think the repubs didn't try hard enough to win the mid-terms.

[advance_copy]

Look at the crowd .. they are the ones who will be voting for him in the primary and they love him

If there are any Hillary-ites lurking here... Are you watching this? Obama is slicker than your husband ever dared to be. And there is some serious money behind this liberal. Hillary, you are in trouble.

On a personal note, Hillary, I hope you win the RAT primaries. Because you will be far easier to beat than this guy. LOL.

[mom.mom]

"All I see is an empty suit."

Bathing suit?

[trumandogz]

Middle America bought Bill Clinton.


They will but this guy.

[Sonar5]

Oh please, I grew up in Ilinois. Trust me, there is nothing else going on in the Middle of February in Springfield Illinois for hundreds of miles away.

Springfield is a very boring town and these people had nothing else to do today.

[Howlin]

"I love you?" He said, "I love you?"

He's going for the "Let's get the boomers out of the way" group. We're SO bad they need to brush us aside and make the country "really" work.

[TomGuy]

Oh I am so exicted that I just had an Obamorgasm.


Nahhhhh, it was just a sneeze.

[radiohead]

Obama is auditioning to be Hillary's VP

You know, I thought about whether she would offer him the spot, but I came to believe that Hillary realizes Obama would take the attention away from her. She doesn't want people voting for Hillary/Obama, but only for Hillary. She doesn't want some VP who will be out in public like a spotlight, but a second fiddle who will be in her shadows. Just my 2 cents.

[Sonar5]

no way no how.....

Conservatives are smarter than that, give us all a little credit.

[libtoken]

I couldn't tell for a minute if he wanted to "lead America" or "leave America". Shorter can be sweeter. But I guess that because the crowd would be standing there for an hour or more, he felt he had to read out the whole laundry list.
