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....

I’m just up the road from Springfield, 30 miles north in Lincoln... I simply couldn’t get pumped up enough about the event, to go pull counter espionage duties (on behalf of my fellow freepers.) Besides, the cold beers are flowing at the keyboard command center. ;0)

Are you on scene?

[TomGuy]

O: Joe “returned home on a lonely Amtrack train...”

[Where’s the Kleenex? Maybe, no one wanted to sit next to Joe on the train.]

Between Obama and Biden, the only thing the two of them have ever managed was political campaigns.

Maybe he can steal a slogan:

"Jo-Mentum is back!"

Thanks for the ping...I had a Lifetime movie on. I have the TV on mute, can't stomach listening to the little thug. Enough already with the change theme...

I saw a McCain bumper sticker today and a gal wearing a McCain pin. ;)

I am crying, what a wonderful story./s

I am trying to watch the Little League World series and ABC cuts in with these 2 irrelevant ass clowns.

Sheesh.

“Obambi is desperately trying to invoke the spirit of Abe Lincoln from Springfield, IL......”

Ironic, seeing as he’s in the party of Jefferson Davis.

Obama is a clean, articulate african american- and he's been tested for the AIDS! It's a storybook!

Black, tested for AIDS, if he were bisexual, it would be a Democrat hat trifecta!

[pepperhead]

Apparently not only does Obama walk on water but so does Biden.

[tiredoflaundry]

I wonder if he taught his grand kids that it was alright to cheat???

[Miss Didi]

RUSH: Obama comes back from Hawaii with gray hair.

"Obama bin Biden will be campaigning separately."

Just watch, Biden will set up shop in PA-OH-WV-KY-TN and try to transform himself into a close pal of all those emittered white folks clinging to guns and religion. [why they would believe anything Biden has to say is another question]

Can't imagine that Biden will of much help in the south or west, so my guess is he'll focus upon the "Reagan Democrats" in the midwest while trying to pretend he is not in fact the #3 most liberal US Senator by voting record.

The speech by Obama is a yaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwnerr! It is the from the script of the underdog, the downtrodden and the average Joe. How one can't see through this rubbish is beyond me.

Between Obama and Biden, the only thing the two of them have ever managed was political campaigns.

Here's a bumper sticker!

Obama should switch places with Biden, this intro is showing how much more qualified the VP candidate is than the candidate for POTUS.
