OBAMA-BIDEN EVENT: Springfield, Illinois-LIVE THREAD

08/23/08

Springfield, Illinois We just arrived at the state capitol. We’re told Biden is en route and on the plane Obama spokeswoman Linda Douglass told us that Obama called Biden Thursday night to offer him the job

It is literally 90 degrees warmer than it was on February 10, 2007. The lectern’s all set up with the new Obama/Biden logo. Obama's plane wasn’t changed – the tip that broke Kerry's choice of Edwards in 2004 -- it simply reads “Change We Can Believe In; www.barackobama.com"). A significantly smaller crowd has turned up for this event than the 17,000 for Obama’s presidential roll out....

Gawd, Obama reads well!
Biden - sucking at the public teat for 30 years. He’s goin’ down with the BO for sure.

[Enchante]

ROFLMAO!!!! Obambi just started to introduce Biden as “the next President”............. Now that’s a howler of a gaffe.

There are gaffes and there are GAFFES..... that’s a big one.

[mombonn]

LOL - Rush will have a ball with that mis-statement! Obambi blew it bigtime!

I see another campaign ad appearing very soon.

[apastron]

Did Biden just run up to the stage? Wow — that just looked ridiculous...

[TornadoAlley3]

I thought his grandparents raised him?

[sirchtruth]

I'll tell yous guys what a firefighter in town told me. Firefighters are ripping pissed the Obama campaign changed the American Flag on his plane to his logo!

I believe before this election cycle is over Obama may get three votes, one from himself, one from his proud wife, and one from Biden and that will be it! Obama is a Master Arrogant Dumbass of biblical proportion!

[pepperhead]

Clearly he was more impressed with Joe’s resume than his own.

[CaptRon]

I’m not sure it was the wisest thing for Joe to start with a story about feet and where their proper place is.

[toomanygrasshoppers]

His Mama didn’t raise him, white grandma did. They NEVER mention the grandma.

[LibFreeOrDie]

Obama intro’d Biden as the next Prez! Too funny!!

It’s a race to see which one commits the most verbal gaffes at this rally.

[maggief]

"did Obama gaffe? Did he say the next President and then changed to the next VP?????LOL LOL"

OOPSIE!

[SE Mom]

Hilarious!

[keepitreal]

Barack was born and he was born of a woman who was born to be born.

I was different... I wasn born of a father who was born to be born

[spectre]

Rush is gonna re-play this over and over and over again! I love it!

[Right_in_Virginia]

LOL!

I hit the mute button again after—”he was the son of a single mom.”

[JavaJumpy]

I read U2 was giving a concert prior - maybe they’re all clapped out?
