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....

“There’s something about this guy.” ??? LOL!

Ok, freepers, let’s see the “There’s Something About Barry” movie posters.

What did he just say about his wife.

I could hard believe that Obama used the word 'Catholic' three times in Biden's introduction. If Biden had been any other religion, would the religion been mentioned that many times? Obviously, fishing for Catholic votes! Well -- they won't get them, because Biden is a CINO. He cannot receive Communion because he supports abortion.

Our Fox channel is showing a ball game.

“of all my years in the senate Washington is so broken, dreams denied.”

Who’s running Congress?

[maggief]

Honestly, Plugs sounds drunk, IMO.

Joe is pulling O’s white grandparents out from under the bus again.

[It is amazing how they can bring up the ‘white’ grandparents when they need ‘examples of America’. Why don’t they ever bring up O’s other grandparents?]

[EGPWS]

My Bullsh*t Detector has been pegged through the whole speech;

It took just this speech??? LOL!

[defconw]

Forget about drinking, I think they have been smoking something.

[keepitreal]

Oh no, they are going to restore America’s soul.

[xsmommy]

let’s hope that the bishops refuse him communion!

[ladyvet]

Did he just say THE Messiah turned down wall street to help the out of work steel workers in CHICAGO? I grew up in Chicago and never saw a steel mill there.

[jennyjenny]

I think Biden must of had a few celebratory cocktails last night or on the plane ride over.

[acsuc99]

How many times can they manage to fit Scranton, Pennsylvania into a speech? Might have to start a new drinking game.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Biden said he was “is drop dead gorgeous”.

[LibFreeOrDie]

nothing like a mullet with plugs on top!

LOL! And he's gonna get a sunburn soon on that big bald spot.

[Salvation]

Sounds like the Obama team wrote Biden’s speech. I turned it off since I couldn’t stomach the lies any longer.

[truthkeeper]

I just turned this on. Sickening...think I’ll back to cleaning the oven.

"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."

This is hilarious. Any human being can stumble over words, but to have two such mega-gaffes in the same event, and such a critical event for Obambi's campaign, is wonderful!!

Of course, if there were two such mega-gaffes by McCain and his VP then we know the MSM would trumpet it all over the country, imply that McCain was losing it, etc.

Biden and Obambi both seem pretty hopeless without a teleprompter, but they get plenty of slack from the biased MSM.

I think biden just said protect our fruits.
