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....

Dear lord, Biden says Obama is going to restore the soul of America!

Biden sounded...like he was on bad speed.

“Barack “AMERICA”??
Did he just say that?
Or did I mis-hear?”

Hee-hee....THANKS! I heard it, too and wished someone else did. LOL!

Biden
“this may be our last chance to reclaim the America we love”

“God bless America, and may he protect our Troops”

Am I the only one noticing that the crowd doesn’t seem totally psyched/loud/cheering?

They remind me of me right after I took the wedding vows in my first marriage.

My G-d, what HAVE I done?

They know a dog when they see one.

hypocrats don’t think in those terms because they simply don’t have to.

Their constituents are diseased mentally ill godless liberals and the media is in their BACK POCKET.

Therefore they can get away with the most profound hypocrisy while demonizing their opponents.

It’s not an issue in the slightest for them.

Been laughing this morning at the press spinning Plugs Biden as Obama’s pick to add “experience” to the ticket — in other words, “gravitas.”

Biden as Obama’s Cheney, what a joke! Biden is the ANTI-GRAVITAS pick of our dreams.

And as if to subtly undermine his own pick, Obama referred to Biden several times in his introduction as “still that scrappy kid from Scranton,” it’s like he had to conjure up imagery that made Biden junior to him by talking so much about stuff from Biden’s youth and early career. This says to me that he’s very uncomfortable with having picked the entrenched, status-quo old politician.
