TPMtv: A Tale of 3 Speeches

[dvdlastrapes]

Yall niggas are stupid if you dont see the point Obama's making. You know how many marine wives are barring the death of there loved one. you know how many new born children will never see there father in the whole fucking life. A lot of children will never see there parents again if this war is gonna go any further. Obama 4 president

[michaeljackson200]

Wisconsinites for McCain! Join me in the campaign for McCain to pick up Wisconsin in the general election (I am actually not from Wisconsin). It is just a state that I am focusing on McCain winning in.

[michaeljackson200]

What change is Obama talking about, huh, huh? Don't vote for him. He is the most liberal member of the entire senate. His score was 95.5% in 2007. Hillary Clinton's was only 82.8%. Harry Reid's was 89.2%. If you vote for Obama, you wan't this country to get fucked up.

[Whoo69]

Obama hit the nail on the head. We're tired of the same ol folks running Washington, which includes Hilary, Obama and McCain themselves. They ARE the problem! Yet everyone is buying into them and is gonna nominate one of those 2. What 'change' could they possibly bring about? For one thing, not nearly enough, and they're both corporate Democrats, or at least Hilary is. You want real progressive change from Mrs. Clinton? Not happenin. It's all a faux pas, but you idiots are buying into it.

[bittyrock]

Everyone Talks about Experience! Look What Happen the Last 8 Years! And I was Still Serving in the Military for Most of Those 8 Years!

[bittyrock]

I Support Obama because he has Done a lot of Work for the Benefits of Veterans. A lot of Brothers and Sisters in the Marine Corps and Other Branches got hurt in Combat and Now the US Government is throwing them on the Streets!

[twdarj]

Isn't it time for this Gradpa John to sit at home and play with his grandkids...and tell about his experiences and stories and let the new generation come forward run the country?

[ver506]

You said it 'twdarj'...time for a new generation!

[twdarj]

Isn't it time for this Gradpa John to sit at home and play with his grandkids...and tell about his experiences and stories and let the new generation come forward run the country?

[classic14rider]

There was an excellent art that went into the editing of this video. Great storyline. I hope you keep doing this kind of thing with political news.

[beteck123]

hahahahaahha 3:29.the president gets on the air the jack and jills were cut off.

[RoeGone]

Wow. Obama really is empty isn't he. Change, change, change. Same old empty promises.

[allitup]

OMG!!! he sounds just like Bush, scary! Love you Obama, hope you'll win!

[sullym11]

Mccain and Clinton are old windbags who offer nothing of substance or conviction. They know that the formidable tide of optimism and shift toward progressive, dynamic leadership is the way forward. They are afraid of Obama and the youth of this country who are choosing freedom. Freedom from fear, despair, and anonymnity.

[iulesc]

Hillary Clinton is hella stupid! She hasn't been making any sense.

[Napstrpsx]

At first I thought that Veracifier was a little bias in presenting Obama in this video... but the truth is that this is the reality of the candidates' current attitudes about the election. I'm ready for Obama to rise up above the stagnant tradition we've had.

[Delpiero10juventus10]

obama is the solution

[secularkurd]

Obama 08

[Amy31415]

Ecch. This is what we have to choose from? Disturbing and disgusting.

Do I really have to vote for Hillary for God's sake???

[Typh0n06]

anything but ron paul plz.

[colomboBE]

The Americans voted two time for the most stupid President of the US history, because the Americas are the most stupid people on the planet.

Americans can't handle a smart President that Ron Paul would be.

The Americans deserve what they got, a stupid President because they are stupid people.

[lidiakap]

its been 12 years since we last last re elected bill clinton to be President, why bring that up now

[filmnut99]

is this what this country has come to.. vote ron paul

[bigceez4]

All three of them ultimately stand for the same thing and that is keep us into meaningless wars, continue to allow corporatism to rule this country, and having us to pay for all this. But hey at least we're getting state run healthcare that will ultimately drive prices even higher, decline our healthcare system more than it already is, and make longer waiting periods to get treated. At the end of it all we should blame ourselves and not these politicians cause they embody what we have become.

[historywillabsolve]

McCain is not a hero. The man did nothing but drop bombs on peasants, by his own admission he was on his 23rd bombing mission before he was shot down. It's a shame they didn't blow his ass up for participating in war crimes.

[Visfen]

come on... he was a war prisoner for years, being tortured. He's about as much of a war hero as it gets.

What soldiers do when following order is not their fault. They can't be blamed for doing their military duty. Only their superiors can.

[historywillabsolve]

Why was he tortured? What was he doing before he was captured? Are you ready to apply the 'hero' label to islamic militants tortured by the US as well? Even if some of them may be guilty of terrorist acts ?

I agree we should not put too much blame on the soldiers, it is their leaders who are ultimately responsible for starting wars, but I refuse to call them heroes for simply being pawns of a terrorist state.

[Amy31415]

Ever heard of the Nuremburg trials? You might want to read up on it.

[Visfen]

You too, they only charged superiors. No prison guard or soldier was charged for their actions but many highly decorated military superiors.

[lessofthesame]

Brilliant editing work. I hope the campaigns of both Hillary and McCain see this and mull over what it means that they share the same stale speech and vision, nearly point by point. I don't know which to shudder over more, that Hill's is like McCain's, or vice versa.

This just demonstrates how flawed both opponents are -- and the ideologies they represent. America will reject McCain as soundly as it has Billary. Obama in a landslide in November....

[cappynadine]

The wife and I feel all fired up just the same as we did back when Libby and Bob Dole ran for President. It sure is exciting to have a War Hero in the campaign again!

[huskercane]

War Hero?!?! What did he do besides get shot down and captured? If enduring torture makes you a Hero, what have we done to those we have tortured? And what happened to Bob Dole? Down in flames again.

[lessofthesame]

hey man, I'm firmly on Obama's and the dems' side, but the guy did serve his country for a really long time, and endured more than we could ever imagine as a POW; I respect that and honor his service, though I disagree with his political platform. Why quibble over the word hero anyway? Better to focus on issues than to launch a questionable attack imho...

[lessofthesame]

[reply is above... "the guy" = McCain, mickey etc &c.]

[artdirector123]

McCain, you are part of the problem. Time for you to retire

Hillary, just step aside. You are wasting everyone's time.

[Thesouthman]

OBAMA '08

[RecessMonkeys]

That was my favourite moment last night. Obama shoving Hillary aside. "Take shots at me, will ya?"

[spzoey]

The message is quite clear here. Clinton and McCain are focused on Obama. Nice job putting this together, yet another fantastic clip, Veracifier.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Obama / Webb 2008

[WadeBlazingame34]

Nice SubmarinerAndroid!  Jim Webb is tough as nails.

[WadeBlazingame34]

Not to get too ahead of ourselves, but Obama Republican Crossovers in Nov. could usher in a new permanent majority for the Democrats for at least a decade.  Jim Webb's "Purple Heartbreakers" describes the betrayal of the military by Pres. Bush (via pay/benefit cuts, 3-4 tours of duty, Blackwater, Swiftboating, etc...). There's a whole block of middle-of-the-road Americans ready to be solidified to vote against Bush & join together to fix what he wrought.

"Payback. This time, it's a B!tch."

[wordcub]

stop playing the terror card, damn.

[WadeBlazingame34]

True, wordcub... Perhaps a new Barack slogan could be: "We don't have to be terrified to deal with Terrorism!"

Prediction: Obama kills Osama by 2009.

[sparkleglance]

If Hillary doesn't approve of using words maybe she should stop trying to use them ... show us instead revealing video clips of her working on the anti-union anti-labor Wal-Mart board of directors and other highlights of her career ... or perhaps repeatedly voting to enable the chimp-in-chief to destroy more people and countries, voting to continue using cluster bombs on 'enemy populations' (where 40% of the victims are children) ... words can't describe the misery of that record! change now!!!

[huskercane]

Let's see... How far has NOT talking to people gotten the US? Cuba is passing power from Castro to Castro... Iran is doing what it wishes... Osama is still breathing air thanks to our "friend" Pervez. Why is the world so "Dangerous"? Because we continue to treat the rest of the world like they are less than us and not worthy of respect. When you treat people the way you want to be treated, you get a long way. McCain needs to save his remaining heartbeats to bone his pretty little wife.

[spzoey]

i noticed he isn't very affectionate with her in public, at least not the way she would like him to be.  it's all there in the body language.

[WadeBlazingame34]

Simon Cowell:

"Hillary, now you're just being peevish, dyspeptic, narcissistic, and pitiful. In all, you're not as good as you think you are, if I'm being honest with you..."

"McCain, my friend, your act is so tired I could see that on any 2nd rate cruise ship in the Carribean."

"Obama, you've got "the it" factor. You're a breath of fresh air."

[aminmos]

Obama 2008!

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096 including **the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 - became law, **The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, - became law, **The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate, **The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, - became law, **The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, In committee, and many more.

OBAMA 08

[69NYMets]

Hillary says, "it's hard work." Sound familiar? heh heh, in other words, I work hard, that's what a President does, he works hard, heh heh.....

[abarefootboy]

Supremo .. !

Go Obama .. !

[thid1]

bullshit vs. bullshit

once again america stands ready to elect a criminal as president.

united states of retarded sheep.

[saYer]

yeah, notice how mccain waited for obama to win before he started his attack, he feared hillary, and now with her out of the picture, he is ready to eat obama alive.

Way to give the presidency to the rep.s

[moejardines]

How much Hillary Kool Aid you chug? Hillary was a crappy general election candidate from word go. If she can't beat an unknown in a primary with her 100% name recognition factor, she'd be so doomed in a general election. Bottom line: She isn't a likeable person. His speech was a slam dunk.

[trublueone]

Oh please spare me. Even your beloved O'Reilly and Limbaugh said that Obama would be a TOUGHER candidate to beat, not Clinton because your rep base would lock step to vote against clinton, but not against Obama.

[Stranahan]

Great work, Ben

[vallejoelgrande]

Great editing job!

[keemosobbee]

Real vs Fake. Obama is real. all others running are fake and aren't even real at being fake

[saYer]

So, promising absolutely everything to everyone by 100% is being real? that is rather unrealistic.

[blackacadian]

Canadians are largely behind Obama because of his position on the war in Afganistan. Sadly most americans are been distracted by events in Iraq while our troups (who are usualy peacekeepers) are getting KILLED in increasingly high numbers in Kandahar. Canada's commitment in Afganistan will not be indefinite "google Manley Report". It's time for the US to get back in the REAL fight with the rest of NATO. It's time for....CHANGE

[keemosobbee]

So tell me then, Hillary, why is Obama kicking your ass.Mccain you are a Republican, so you donot matter. They cut Hillary off because they know who will be the next President.

[Toddo31]

Hillary also started her speech later than she said she would.

This was also her third post election speech where she did not congratulate the winner.

[trublueone]

Clearly she's showing how presidential she really is, lol. She's classless

[Devin1498]

I think Hillary and McCain should form a ticket.

[themightylex]

LOL! You mean they haven't already? Barack seems to be fighting on 2 fronts these days, against both Clinton and McCain.

The old ways of Washington are so desperate to keep things as they are, they'll create strange bedfellows indeed.

Obama 2008! we want change!

[bootpdx]

"hard work" watch it Hillary you sound an awful lot like Bush.

McCain- stop using "My friends"

Both of you- stop the fear mongering

[Devin1498]

since when is bush a advocate of hard work? he spent half his first term on the ranch in Texas. Obama's the one who sounds like bush. 'bring class back to the white house' 'unify the American people'. Its laughable really. he must've just reworded the bush platform with Deval Patrick to sound blacker.

[WadeBlazingame34]

Bootpdx is referring to the John Kerry debates I think. He kept saying "how h a r d it is to be a war-time President." SNL had some good sketches about it.

[cousinNACHO]

MacCain is such a peckerhead

[generalsternwood]

Excellent Veracifier!

The interlacing of the Clinton/McCain rhetoric is so effective that there remains only one question after viewing it: Who was plagiarizing who?

[69NYMets]

The parallels between Clinton's and McCain's rhetoric are absolutely frightening.

[Veracifier]

Thanks for your comment. I wonder if McCain will continue this rhetoric when he is the Republican nominee.

[Kookimon]

where was he born? Hawaii.

Hillary loves ignorant voters like your self hillarytv2008. Besides what kind of a democrat does that? You seem to not have heard hillary's speeches where she says in other words that immigrants ARE welcomed here. so again who are you again? He was born here, you can not run for president if you were not born here, thats how i know you are either moronic or a hate monger.

[jliira]

I lolled. Ignorance is bliss.

[bootpdx]

You are ignorant.

[FattKidd]

In other words, if he does in fact turn out to be another establishment, big $ politician & ends up conforming to established convention, there will be a lot of really pissed off people out there & the youth vote might be lost on the Dem party forever. I sincerely hope he governs differently than he's legislated. If not, he's setting himself & his party up for MAJOR fall. I can tell you personally that if he doesn't live up to goals he's set for himself, I will work hard to remove him in 2012.

[FattKidd]

If the entire establishment/ruling class/oligarchy of US is railing against Obama, to me, that says they're afriad of something. I might be wrong & if Obama doesn't live up to the VERY VERY high expectations he setting, if his actions fail to live up to his lofty rhetoric, if he doesn't make the changes he's saying he's going to make during his FIRST term, there are going to be A LOT of VERY disappointed people out there. &, the Dem party will pay dearly for not delivering on those promises.

[FattKidd]

I was a little put off by Obama at first. He speaks populism but, votes establishment. So, I was a little more than skeptical. I still am to a point. But, over the past 10 days, I & many others, have noticed a concerted effort by CLinton & McCain campaigns, MSM, RNC, DNC & many others, to paint Obama as nothing but an empty hat. All talk. Empty Rhetoric. Big on promise, short on results. Midguided idealist, etc. Instead of these attacks making me question Obama more, they've done the opposite.

[merhasdabest]

No body is stupid, why do Hillary and McCain lie and try to invove in phony negative attacks? It would have been better for them to address the issues.

[rmsolom]

Maybe fellow Americans are tired of the Republican's appeal to American FEARs, Corporate GREED and Arab HATE.

It is IRONIC that the right-wing conservative christains do not seem to follow the SEMINAL teachings of Christianity:

1. Live with HUMILITY.

2. LOVE thy neighbors.

3. DO UNTO OTHERS as we would have them do unto us.

Do they not practice what they preach?!

[tubpat]

That is exactly what it is all about - Leasership. Noone individual, Preseident, CEO, manager acomplishes anything unless they can inspire the people to action. You can hire policy wonks, you can hire generals but you have to be a leader on day 1! Obama's capaign itself has been an example of his leadership. They are smart and can turn on a dime!

[mandoelpaso]

i cant wait when mccain gets obama stuck on a question and shows obamas lack of quick thinking. This is gonna be interesting debate between those two

[khayav]

MacCain's and Clinton's speech sound like they were written by the same person.

[dharmick]

Great video!

This is a real service.

We need more of these. Punch. Counterpunch.

Draw sharp the contrasts, letting each make his or her case in his or her own words.

Terrific!

[oldbaldy129]

Obama! Obama! Obama!

[TormentedByDemons]

Obama's strongest weapon is the simple fact that McCain is a Republican.

Any Republican candidate can have their name attached to Bush with a hyphen, i.e. "McCain-Bush," instantly garnering the hate of the millions who hate the president.

It's just not faaaair! *sob sob*

[voyzovrezon]

Clinton is politics as usual. McCain has been in Washington Tooooooooooo Long!

[mazenkoko]

please listen at time 0:48

clinton is stealing the lines from obama !!

THE CHOICE IN THIS ELECTIONS is between gender etc...

that was obama speech in new hampshire

i swear to god she is so weakkkkkk

she cant even say her own words !

obama till the end 2008 !

[CheeezMaster]

excellent juxtapositions. wait... juxtaposition? they're exactly the same.
