[don-o]

Anyone going to watch this?

[Sonar5]

presidential tickets are determined by those who don't tend to slip up when they speak.

obama and hitlary..

2 years in the senate.. yeah that will get you to the white house....

let the train wreck of the dems continue....

[Mo1]

Hillary has the money, political organization, and is married to the first Black president. She is ahead in the polls. Obama is another Howard Dean.

I think he'll be her VP

now he's talking about bringing the troops home in March 2008

[trumandogz]

The man is great on the stump.


I can see where he would be able to seduce middle America otherwise conservative voters.

[TomGuy]

Oh! He has a plan....

[Now, he's plagiarizing Kerry.]

[don-o]

I'm saying that when Hillary opens her mouth, it's fingernails on the chalkboard. If her opponents play it right, her support will drop like a rock.

[syriacus]

Does Obama secretly dislike Iraqis?

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.

[Major_Risktaker]

You can't end poverty in America if the boarders are wide open which let millions of 3rd world impoversihed people in!

Obambi is an articulate idiot.

[Ramius]

I thought he'd be a lot better than this.

You know... I was just thinking the same thing. He started out pretty smooth. But he's lapsing into the usual petty and dull talking points.

[Mo1]

The man is great on the stump

I've seen him talk more on the road then he has in the Senate

[don-o]

Terrific point!

[Salvation]

Wasn't that impressed with the first part of it. Channel off now.

[kabar]

He seems to believe that if we bring our troops home and become energy independent, the terrorists will stop attacking us. I wonder why he isn't calling for bringing our troops home from Afghanistan. The Taliban are afghans. Isn't that a civil war? Let's see if he mentions 9/11.

[Bahbah]

Good point, syriacus.

[trumandogz]

I hate to say this but the voters will not want to take a chance with a woman and a black. They will want at least one white dude on the ticket just in case the Shiite hits the fan.

[kanawa]

Comparing Obama to Honest Abe. Surreal

[kabar]

He's terrible on the stump.

[RockinRight]

LOL!!!!

[don-o]

Yet another invocation of Lincoln!

[TomGuy]

Hillary will need to take him out early. He's a good talker.

[Ramius]

He needed to quit about five minutes ago.
