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....

I thought I heard Biden say “Barak America”.

Wow. What a team....Obama thinks Biden’s running for president and Biden can’t get Obama’s name right!

Right congress writes the bill not the president. I am so sick and tired of congress never getting any of the blame.

“Which of John McCain’s 7 kitchen tables does he sit at..”

The Democrats are the party of the little people - Jay Rockefeller, Ted Kennedy, George Soros, and 90% of Hollywood.

McCain is now probably laughing his *ss off. Obama introduced Biden as the next POTUS and Biden called Obama “the next POTUS, Barack America” What bumbling idiots. This should be fun.

If the souffle finally goes kapoof after the convention, they'll reshuffle the deck, probably with an online vote among delegates.

My Bullsh*t Detector has been pegged through the whole speech; i’m wondering, though, if anyone here is running Biden’s suck-up speech through a “plagiarism checker?”

Dems run both houses, if things aren’t getting done it’s YOUR fault, Biden.

And don't forget that long two block walk across the street from his office to Union Station to pick up the train.

Sometimes in two feet of snow. On a few occasions he was lucky enough to wear the family boot and never complained about the hole in the sole.

This is rib-tickling funny.

Here’s the deal- Joe LOVES being up in front of the crowd- doesn’t matter what he’s shoutin’ about- he just LOVES the crowd..
