OBAMA-BIDEN EVENT: Springfield, Illinois-LIVE THREAD
08/23/08

Posted on 08/23/2008 11:44:35 AM PDT by TornadoAlley3

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....

Talking head on CNN brought up race,I’d ask, when is Biden going to go before NAACP and be comfortable as McCain? Didn’t McCain do another hostile venture?

How can Obama refer to McCain as the "politics of the past," while simultaneously bringing Biden on as his VP? Isn't that a double standard?

A few months ago, he lashed out at folks who were talking about the video of Obama's wife saying, "For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country." He told everyone that we cannot discuss his wife or his family.

Now, the little jerk and his camp are broadcasting ads that target McCain's wife!!!

Obama is a punk, a liar and a racist.

1987 - of Biden footage captured by C-Span in which the Delaware senator, in response to a question about where he went to law school and what sort of grades he received, delivered this classic line: “I think I have a much higher IQ than you do.”

We’re told Biden is en route ... A significantly smaller crowd has turned up for this event ...

I just don't think Biden is going to draw many large crowds.

Although ....

He did garner 0 delegates and 2,328 Iowa votes — 1% — 5th place in his presidential run.

If Obambi was a true Christian he would be telling those that refer to him as the annointed one and messiah to stop because there is only 1 God and he would make that clear to all, instead he is relishing it, believes it, just as Satan would.

Barrel of gaffs...

From an April hearing : PETRAEUS: Senator, the vice president was in Iraq just a couple weeks after that, and he also had a very warm reception. BIDEN: Did he get kissed? Get a kiss? PETRAEUS: I believe he did get kissed when he was there. BIDEN: I just want to know whether he got kissed, that’s all.

From July 2006 : “You CANNOT go into a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts without an Indian accent.”

From time immemorial : “If anybody is going to find a terrorist about to put sarin gas into the heating system or cooling system of the largest mall in Little Rock, AR, or in Savannah, GA, … it is going to be a local cop on his way from a Dunkin’ Donuts shop.
