Senator Obama hits the ball out of the park on Clinton VP musings-speech text here

[Tropics_Dude83]

Home run!!!!!

“Both Sen. Clinton and President Clinton repeatedly talked about how I would be a great vice president.” (crowd boos)

“With all due respect, I’ve won twice as many states as Sen. Clinton.” (crowd cheers)

“I’ve won more of the popular vote than Sen. Clinton.” (crowd cheers)

“I have more delegates than Sen. Clinton.” (crowd cheers)

“So I don’t know how somebody who is in second place is offering the vice presidency to the person who is in first place.” (crowd goes crazy)

“I was just wondering, because if I were in second place I could understand it. But I’m in first place right now.”

“How is it if I’m not ready, you think I would be such a great vice president.”

“They are trying to hoodwink you….”

“I don’t presume that I have won this election….”

“Let me be absolutely clear: I’m not running for vice president. I’m running for president of the United States of America. . . . I’m running to be commander-in-chief….”

“Don’t think you can get both — you have to make a choice in this election….”

“I do not believe Sen. Clinton is about change. . . . This guide of gamesmanship. . . is the kind of Washington doublespeak and doubletalk that will not solve the problems of this country.”

“Sen. Clinton and Sen. McCain represent the conventional wisdom in Washington….”

19. EXACTLY what Clinton wanted

now she can use Wesley Clark, who will serve her better than a primadona.

2. I hope Obama starts focusing almost exclusively on McCain, instead of Hill's stupid attacks/insults

that would be a lovely contrast, and he's be looking more presidential by the day.

[Whisp]

will the media play this over and over again like they do all the negative stuff about him?

doubters ralph.

Nothing negative about this put down--it just was one! And, it was well-deserved, if I might add...!

9. Since Hillary wanted to align herself with McCain on the experience issue

“Sen. Clinton and Sen. McCain represent the conventional wisdom in Washington….”

Spot on Mr. President. :patriot:

13. What speech is this?

Link to transcript? Youtube?

Appreciate it.



Oh, and K&R!

14. I like most ...

... those last two quotes. They strongly indicate to me that Obama will NOT choose Hillary as his VP, which is very good news. If she doesn't succeed in strong-arming the delegates to her side ( and imploding the Democratic party in the process ), then she definitely needs to quietly go back to her Senate seat.

Before Pennsylvania would be nice, actually. After Mississippi we all need to contact our wavering superdelegates, and tell them to step up and put this baby to rest already. If enough of them come out for (or switch to) Obama, she might, just MIGHT see the writing on the wall, and do the right thing for the good of the party. I doubt it, but it's worth a try !

23. it was a roundhouse kick and a throw to the mat

obama demolished a monster today!

[DemGa]

25. Wow, he's great when people love him!

But as we've seen, Obama folds like a cheap suit in front of a tough crowd.

[FedoraLV]

27. Yup

Like when he told a room full of automakers what they were doing wrong re: global warming...

Or when he told the congregants of Ebeneezer Baptist that they needed to examine their prejudices...

Or when he did the difficult work overseas and at home to secure Soviet-era nukes...

That suit means he's here to do the peoples' business. :D Let's send him to the Oval Office to do ours.
