OBAMA-BIDEN EVENT: Springfield, Illinois-LIVE THREAD

08/23/08

[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....

You know, I never noticed how much Obama’s symbol looks like a Pepsi logo.

BARACK AMERICA!!!! LOL these guys can’t even get the names and titles right

[hole_n_one]

The MSM was saying how "charming" Biden would be while attacking McCain.

He's coming off as a raving, angry whack job.

[SE Mom]

Barack “AMERICA”??

Did he just say that?

Or did I mis-hear?

[toomanygrasshoppers]

Did Biden just call Obama “Barack America”?

[tiredoflaundry]

Nope, that is what he said!

[advance_copy]

I think he’s either drunk or hung over. Did he just say “Barak Amerk”?

Biden: Obama's little pit bull

Also, anyone who has been alive since the 1960s remembers well how for 3 decades the vicious Demagogues made it impossible to address crime in any responsible way. ANY attempt to crack down on crime, especially urban crime, was immediately framed by liberals as those Nixon/Wallace bigots (sic) being “insensitive” (or worse) toward minority “culture” etc. etc.

The idea that Demagogues now try to take any credit for crime bills or welfare reform is just so outrageous considerting that THEY created and sustained virtually all the social catasrophes with broken families, crime ignored and unpunished, etc. etc.

[Tarpon]

Naw, next week is the Wellstone Memorial, 24/7 Bush bashing

[Raebie]

Yes indeedy he did. WTF?

[LegalEagle61]

The RATS are doomed and they know it, but will put their spin on it, this is such a joke-—they should know that since WE are happy with Obambi’s pick-—that should be a red flag but they were forced to do this because Obambi is unqualified-—bottom line is people vote for President, NOT the #2 man.

[JavaJumpy]

Since ABC cut away, there are NO stations carrying this historic event in my neck of the woods - just the usual sports, Olympics, Saturday PBS shows and infomercials - lol!

[sofaman]

I just hit the mute button ... Biden with the same pablum he spouts every day. What a pathetic piece of work they are.

[Miss Didi]

I think Barry was looking through his pocket for a snack or a little game or something. Ugh, now it's the pensive two-finger to the lips thing.

[DocRock]

"Did Biden take the champagne flight over? He sounds like he’s slurring."

I thought the same thing from the beginning of his speech.
