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....

**Karl Rove just said that Joe tends to exaggerate and stick his foot in his mouth!**

Yep, Biden had ‘Foot in Mouth’ disease.

Following the Clinton playbook. Clinton ‘greecian formulaed’ his hair to put a few years on his frame.

That’s what I saw as well. Chris Wallace just confimed that Barry intro’d Biden as President and Biden called Barry, Barack America. At least my hearing is not going.

Team Obama screwed up this announcement.

They should have done it around noon yesterday — people would have stopped their work to watch. The audience would have been multi-millions.

They sould have already had the podium up and ready to give their speeches then.

Instead, making the announcement in the wee Saturday morning hours and giving the speeches in the mid afternoon, they lost mega-millions in viewership.

Most ‘families’ are out shopping, at the parks, enjoying the nice weather, etc. They weren't sitting around waiting to hear this.

This was disastrously poor planning on the part of Team Obama.

The minute I saw Bob and the way he was slumped over the desk with an unkempt appearance and no jacket I knew something was wrong. And to think I heard him earlier tell Brett B. that the PUMA gals love the Biden pick.

Biden - "Baraks mother taught him fundamental values of American way of life."

His damn mother was a communist.

"i hope they don’t appear too often together. People will be dropping out."

I heard them say that they won't be seen together again until sometime next week at the convention. My question is why? Do they have to be decontaminated?

CNN says Biden will explain his earlier statement that Obama is not ready to lead:)

At the time when he said it, Biden thought it was true, but after visiting '57 states', Iraq and Europe, Biden thinks B. Hussien Obama can lead America.

Yes, he can lead America -- down a HELLHOLE!!! I want a leader like McCain!!

The PUMA girls like it because Obama will flame out? Or they like Biden?

OMG is that a real picture?? Her face is dripping with attitude and hatred. But I see with editing, they managed to remove the giant chip on her shoulder.
