Michelle Obama speech Delaware part6

[dennisdeem]

i'm frustrated, i'm outraged...i'm on board. now's our time. let's make this happen people. YES WE CAN I think Michelle Obama is so amazingly articulate and a fine politician herself.

[thesquonkstear]

Because anyone smart enough to know they are acting knows that "all's the world's a stage", and acting is a big part of the office. Acting right to the Russians, Chinese, Iranian, Saudis, Mexicans... it's all acting.

If it sounds real to you, then vote Obama. I'd like to hear her without the fire and brimstone. Are other nation's leaders going respond well if she is 100% bumpkin. I don't blame people who have to think about their vote after hearing a lot of Foghorn Leghorn talk.

[heathgal]

Folks on Whidbey Island, WA, are READY!!! YES, WE CAN... the time has come. This couple represents a gift to America and the world. The Obamas have my full and admiring support.

[themightylex]

I'm claiming my seat at the table of this democracy(republic). I have made call's for the Obama phone bank, I have written letters, I've talked with all my friends, and I have donated money. The more I do the more inspired I feel to do more!

There is nothing false about hope! Dare to dream!

[xy11xy]

Hey Lex!! Isn't she amazing?? Obama and Michelle: an embarrassment of riches for America!

btw...what is the phone bank?

[themightylex]

Hello Cuteness (I can't help callin' you that; you're just too darn cute)

I love to hear Michelle pitch. She's a powerful, candid and endearing speaker.

The phone bank is just my way of saying I've been calling voters for Obama by joining the call team on his website. It's kinda cool, scary and fun all at the same time. You never know what kind of response you'll get!

[xy11xy]

It does sound scary but exhilarating! I would volunteer but I'm Canadian.

Take care Lex ...rhymes with sex ;P

cute AND corny!

[themightylex]

3 cheers for public flirting!

Hips, lips, hooray!

Two days of wins and a Grammy; quite a weekend for Obama.

When are you coming down for vacation? I better message you. :D

[myworld21st]

Obama 08...vote Obama

[thesquonkstear]

YOU YOU YOU... You sound like you have a corner on the market for wisdom and knowledge. Everyone else running is uneducated as to what is "worthwile." What was I thinking?

My point, repeated: my eyes and ears are already open, and it's sounding unprofessional.

By the by, I signed up to serve at 18, and have no problem with the defense of our national and international insterests. Only a unrealistic fool would.

[PhatalOne]

uneducated?? unprofessional?? She went to Princeton and Harvard (something I'm sure you never came close to).

[thesquonkstear]

Don't be so sure, virgil.

[thesquonkstear]

You think she talks that country ass, Foghorn Leghorn talk at work? Not everyone wants to hear a first lady talk that twang. Maybe you can't hear the difference, but it would be a shame if it cut against his chances of winning. Nevermind. Get watch him get his ass kicked by the Billary machine for her big mouth. Between him and Ophra, skinny is looking like a mammas boy anyway.

[larueprod]

Now who's spouting country twang? You twink.

[malik910]

i think she would make a better president than hillary.

[larueprod]

Amen! lol!

[xy11xy]

I second that!

[myckaka]

Obama has more experience than any of the other candidates. He was a senator in Illinois for eight years, working with Republicans and Democrats to produce real results. Because he hasn't been part of the Washington, D.C., crowd forever, he isn't corrupted as most. He worked organizing steelworkers, food banks and churches.He refuses lobbyist money. He is the only candidate who has the vision and good judgment to bring this country together again.

[larueprod]

he's got 12 years as an elected official

she's got 8

so her running around saying she's got more experience is b.s.

[thesquonkstear]

With all due respect, she needs to meet the rest of America 2/3 of the way. It would be a lot easier to set aside cynicism if she'd:

1. lay off the ebonical slogans for a few mintues to talk like a first lady with a Harvard education, no grits.

2. tell stories about little girls that sound less fantastic (even if true). Make up other ones, and test them on pros.

The whole world is not charmed by the country talk. Billary's Foghorn Leghorn talk is not helping them.

"You heard?"

[larueprod]

YOU are one of the people that needs to open your eyes and ears. Because YOU need to make the effort for something worthwhile.

Otherwise go follow Clinton around and HIS uneducated antics or McCain who probably really isn't listening to you. Can't wait for McCain to send you to Iraq.

[thesquonkstear]

Like I said, you sure have a corner on all the knowledge of what is worthwhile, huh? Everyone else needs to learn from you I guess, swami-guru.

But my eyes and ears are open; and I don't think it looks or sounds fitting when she "goes country". She should talk like the Harvard graduate she is out of respect for everyone rather than patronizing and acting "real", as in real fucking silly.

And I signed up to serve when I was 18, so save your chicken heart threats, fake ass B.

[larueprod]

Remember that when McCain or Billary go shipping your behind overseas to die for a war that shouldn't have been started, based on a lie and only to serve the greed of corporations and your return with PSTD. Clinton and the Republicans don't care about you.Your actions won't have any lasting positive affect. Btw you wanna talk about someone going country WTF was Hillary doing with that Aunt Jemima drawl she whipped out a church?

[thesquonkstear]

Again, I am not affraid to die for America. I signed up when I was 18. You need to travel overseas to see that America is worth dying to defend.

You made my point, the Jemima thing hurt Hillary. Matching it will not help Obama. Nobody want's Foghorn Leghorn leading America, not even country asses!

[larueprod]

Nothing wrong with dying for cause when it's for a purpose worth dying and you are sent by people worth dying for. Btw, I travel all the time, currently LIVE overseas and I have family in the Armed Forces and my Uncles served in Vietnam so save your tough posturing for someone it might impress.

[thesquonkstear]

Not to be tough, it's just a fact, and you are the jackass who brought up shipping people off to the military, like you are calling the shots. You're not, but you know that deep down. Hang it up, fish eye fool.

[larueprod]

Fortunately for YOU it's people like me trying to bring you back from continuing a bad decision and big mistake. Though sometimes I think we might be better off if a couple of warped head cases like you ate a bullet.

It's a fact Bush use a force that should be treated with respect like a toy and in doing so disrespected the armed forces by using it for personal gain for his friends.

[thesquonkstear]

If you see me in a fight with a bear-- help the bear, because you can't even help yourself. You aren't saving me with that stupid talk. But I have no doubts that with that crazy talk, I'm sure you'll meet the right one to fix your mouth.

[larueprod]

The dosage for meds you've been taking is either too high or not high enough. Come baaaaaaack

[thesquonkstear]

Coming back to you? Thanks, but I don't want to live under a bridge with Shrek and the donkey.

[larueprod]

if i did live under a bridge it would a few steps above wherever you are at now. :-)

In any event I have go to campaign for Obama to win another state. :-) tata!

[xy11xy]

""Again, I am not affraid to die for America.""

But, that is a meaningless sentiment.. sort of like repeatedly saying you would die for your child. It is redundant and meaningless. The more courageous and meaningful statement would be that you would live or work hard for America.

[xy11xy]

I think you are wrong. I think if she was to take your advice it would be a mistake. Her speech would not be as powerful if she changed her tone and cadence. It doesn't seem patronizing to my ear...it feels real and relevant.

[xy11xy]

That is what makes the Obamas extraordinary..the fact they refuse to meet you and the "rest of America" partway. To meet you where you are is to continue to fail; because, where you are is a place of cynicism.

Imagine, that of the powerful things she said all you focus on is her inflection. You want to be fed the same slop you have been eating rather than a fine gourmet meal. It is YOU who must RISE to meet her greatness.

[thesquonkstear]

I am not into feeling of the inflection thing, but Amen2U. I am into meanings. If any president is not willing to meet most voters half way, then he will be another footnote in history. That you can bank on, tough nut.

Candidates dress a certain way, act a certain way, shake hands a certain way and yes-- talk a certain way for a reason, good faith.

I'm also thinking that what you know about "fine gourmet meals" can fit on in ant's pocket. Your boasting is a foolish as Hillary's brags.

[xy11xy]

Clearly, your "thinking" is nothing to write home about. What I have said is not a boast but an observation of what is.

Aren't you tired of the cookie cutter candidates? If you are smart enough to know that they are acting, why would you allow that acting to sway you?
