As John Lennon once said, strange days indeed |
|
A candidate, on DemocraticUnderground, is being commended for Sister Souljah moments and for being most favored by CEOs.
Most peculiar, mamma, whoa!

7. Obama will continue the Bush/Cheney agenda and that is WAR! |
|
we've posted numerous statements on Obama's increasing troops and continued aggression in the ME..
Your farcical comments continue to tow the line of denial of what and who your candidate truly represents.

8. That is what Hillary has been pushing. She even took up for the war stating it was going well. |

Then she tried to back track once she realized she made a mistake for speaking what she believes. He is the one who has been against it.

11. Obama's Clearly On Record As Being Against Starting The War |
|
Mrs. Clinton voted to start for this war.
Once war begins, everything changes - as Colin Powell said, "We break it - we own it".
I'm not necessarily in agreement with the previous efforts to fund the war - but I'm not sure that they were wrong either (except in retrospect, which makes everything crystal clear).

13. What he DOES is more important than what he SAYS |
|
Tell me, if he's been "against the war from the start", then why did he SPEAK OUT AGAINST and VOTE AGAINST the Kerry-Feingold amendment, which would have funded troop withdrawls? No Obama supporter to date has ever been able to answer that question.

14. As I Said, Everything Changed Once We Started The War |
|
Going to war vs. not going to war was a crystal clear vote. Once we were there, the choices were not clear at all.

15. So we shouldn't bring the troops home? |
|
Edited on Fri Aug-31-07 06:57 PM by Lirwin2
Very sad to be reading that, on DU of all places. By the way, that amendment was introduced in 2006, 3 years after the start of the war. You're telling me that after 3 years there were no clear choices? Funny how it's only taken him 4 years to realize that a troop withdrawl is the solution. So much for "against the war from the beginning", eh?

as we were irresponsible going in. Cleaning up Chimpy's clusterfuck in Iraq (that Hillary rubber-stamped) is not easy, y'know...

19. Are you familiar with the Kerry-Feingold amendment? |
|
It funded phased redeployment of American troops over the course of a year. Soon after announcing his candidacy for the presidency, he said he would introduce legislation calling for... phased redeployment of American troops ( http://tpmelectioncentral.com/2007/01/obamas_turn_says_hell_introduce_iraq_legislation_calling_for_phased_withdrawal.php). What changed? I think you know the answer to that one.

Obama emphasizes that Most Americans fundamentally agree on most things AND MOST OF THOSE THINGS WE AGREE ON ARE PROGRESSIVE. That's quite a bit different from DLC fake "bipartisanship".

Nobody Told Me-John Lennon
Everybody's talking and no one says a word Everybody's making love and no one really cares There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
/ A Asus2 D D6D / / A E D Bm /
There's always something happening and nothin' going on There's always something cooking and nothing in the pot They're starving back in China, so finish what you got
{Refrain} Nobody told me there'd be days like these Nobody told me there'd be days like these Nobody told me there'd be days like these Strange days indeed, strange days indeed
/ G D Em - / / / C G D D6D C G A - /
Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move Well everybody's a winner and nothing left to lose There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu
Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground Well everybody's crying and no one makes a sound There's a place for us in movies, you just gotta lay around
{Refrain} ... most peculiar mama
Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high Everybody's flying and never touch the sky There's UFO's over in New York and I ain't too surprised
{Refrain} ... most peculiar mama, whoa
Note: The break is loosely Bm C#m D E Bm E D Bm...

I think it's skillful how he is able to sing "Nobody told me there'd be days like these" in that song as if it were one word.

his terrible rendition of Twist And Shout (I've heard the sore throat story) is nothing to be proud of.

22. nailed Twist and Shout on one take |
|
I respectfully disagree. Besides, he isn't known primarily as a vocalist, he's mainly known as a songwriter (along with Paul and among other things of course).

23. His Twist and Shout version sucks Big time, and regardless of his sore throat. |

The Isley Brothers sang Twist and Shout. John Lennon ruined Twist and Shout.

24. I've always preferred vocalists who have a voice with a unique or strangely cool sound, |
|
as opposed to someone with a sterile control over vocal range and pitch. But that's just me.
