I still think his campaign theme should be

Change You Are Deceived In

USA4ME · « **Reply #2 on:** August 28, 2008, 02:40:09 PM »

His campaign song (which would describe his followers) should be "Blinded by the Light."

picking up a major speech and moving it in just a matter of a few weeks is a gamble for a lot
of reasons, not the least of which is logistical. the DNC was being planned within the pepsi
center for months, and people already knew how to televise a speech from a convention hall.

this introduces an incredible number of unknowns. just coordination and communication
could be a big problem. it will be interesting to see how this comes off.

This is what the Messiah wants...and that's how it will be....whether one likes it or not.

(A shiny example of what life would be like under his Presidency) he's a "MAKE IT HAPPEN" kinda guy...without any thought to logistics, money or convenience.
yeah, he'll reach across the aisle..

Now, now...

Grousing about it is unbecoming. Simply say, "Thy will be done", and get on with it.

May the peace, hope and change of teh Obamessiah be upon you my child (God DAMN! try to say that three times with a straight face!)

The BarackStar! is having a BarackConcert!

I hope you got to see the Evil Elf give his act. He was scowling, and jumping up and down, and wiggle-waggling his arms, and flapping his armpits. All I could think was that he MUST have read franksolich's description of agitated DUmmies, because he had it down perfectly.

Whenever Biden lifts his arms like that, I expect him to start singing, "Don't Cry for Me."

Michael Steele of the Strategy Room says there is still a lot of "flowery" language in the speech and it's not real enough.

It should be interesting...

Me too. I put the Rush sign on my computer monitor.

It says, "I don't know what I'm talking about. I have no experience."

I remember when he told his listeners to put a Liar sign on the screen when Clinton made one of his State of the Union addresses.

It really adds to the speech.

are we ready? the speech by the obomigod from the barackoplis is about to begin.
