Obama: "If you believe that, I've got a bridge in Alaska to sell you"

[understandinglife]

"But now suddenly, John McCain says he is about change, too. He even started using some of my lines. Suddenly he says he wants 'to turn the page.' He had an ad today that he started running that he and Gov. Palin would bring the change that we need. He had this in an advertisement. Sound familiar? Let me tell you something, instead of borrowing my lines he needs to borrow our ideas," Obama said.

He followed up with s dig on lobbyists, saying "if you think those lobbyists are working day and night for John McCain just to put themselves out of business, well then I've got a bridge to sell you up in Alaska."

:rofl:

So, Johnny, are you gonna call in sick on the 26th ....

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOBAMA ..............

Peace,

[1corona4u]

31. Thanks.

Done.

[quiet.american]

42. Do y'all realize this only has 14 ratings so far on YouTube? How about rating it up?

Once you follow the Digg link posted in this thread to the video, all you have to do is click on the YouTube logo in the video clip -- that'll bring you to the YouTube version of the video where you can rate it up.

[thestrugglecontinues]

32. I read on a previous thread that Obama and Biden voted for

the bridge.

[DeeDeeNY]

54. Randi Rhodes debunked that on her show last week

Only 4 Democratic senators voted for that bridge, and Obama and Biden were not on that list.

[frogcycle]

57. go back to wherever it is you read that and

drink their swill
buh-bye!

[Vickers]

61. A thread on THIS site?

Didn't think so.

:eyes:

Welcome to DU yadda yadda yadda...

[thestrugglecontinues]

69. Yes a thread on this site

If I have time, I will look it up. Didn't think it was "bilge". I might be too moderate for this site.

[Vickers]

74. Looking forward to that link.

:thumbsup:

[trueblue2007]

34. The BRIDGE TO ALASKA line is priceless!!

[marylanddem]

2. Great quote - he's either one terrific writer or has a team of them

behind him - Gobama!

[vaberella]

16. I believe he writes his own stuff. n/t

[Cha]

27. Obama comes up with good stuff himself..

Plus he has surrounded himself with brilliance.

[BuyingThyme]

3. Oh, man. There's a joke so much sweeter hidden within those words.

This could be a talking-point clincher.

[tallahasseedem]

4. I love it!

That along with "In what respect, Charlie?" will sustain us for a while!

[jillan]

5. Haha - Excellent!!!!

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

6. I'm thrilled he is bringing up the copycatting.

It makes McClain look so incredibly lame.

[Cha]

28. How could he not..it's so

fucking obvious but it needed a line like his, "instead of just using my lines, he needs to use to my ideas, too".

[NBachers]

49. That's all McLame and Paliban have to run on . . .

either trash us with serial lies, or pretend that they're the Real Barack Obama.

Ludicrous, absolutely ludicrous. So d'ya think the voting public's catching on yet?

7. Yesssssssss....this is the good stuff we have been waiting for.

Attack them where it hurts.

[Heather MC]

8. Sexism I CALL Sexismmmmmmmmm

:rofl:
How dare he make a joke of the sacred bridge
Only Palin can make a joke of the Sacred bridge
and lipstick
and firing people
and bush doctrines
and and and

[hootinholler]

37. Shun the nonbeliever! Shun, Charlie! Shun! n/t

[Major Hogwash]

9. KA-BOOM!

Kicked Johnny Mac right in his big mouth!!!

Great job.

11. I just cheered and clapped and laughed out loud in my cube. Pretty hard

to convince anyone I'm working. ;)

:rofl:

13. McCain/Palin equals change? Thanks, but no thanks! n/t

[flpoljunkie]

14. BAM!

[Hope And Change]

15. LOL.K & R!

[ljm2002]

17. Great!! Now *that* is a sound bite!

Way to go, Obama!

[and-justice-for-all]

18. OH Snap!

Thats grand! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBAMA!!!

[mzmolly]

19. Woah.

:D

[kster]

20. They tried to steal Bill Clinton's idea "build a bridge

to the 21st century", then they realized Bill wasn't talking about an actual bridge.

[Shiver]

59. McCain should just offer

to build a bridge to the future, then promise to promptly fall off of it.

[yellowcanine]

21. Excellent. Slams Palin indirectly AND puts the focus back on McCain where it belongs.

Pure genius.

[rndmprsn]

22. BLAM! TAKE THAT JOHN W MCCAIN

[msallied]

23. Hey dammit! I used that line on a friend of mine just the other day!

Obama's stealing MY lines! LOLOL!

He can have 'em, by the way. I got a millllion of em. :)

[lapislzi]

24. McCain/Palin = A Bridge to Nowhere

Nowhere on health care reform.
Nowhere on rebuilding our tattered reputation in the world.
Nowhere on helping working families.
Nowhere on creating jobs.
Nowhere on energy independence.

[puebloknot]

52. This should become *the* Dem drumbeat until November! nt

[Erda]

71. You might want to submit this idea to

truthandhope.org

Perhaps they can make an ad out of it and get it on the air.

[FourScore]

25. Now, THAT should become a mantra !

It should be said EACH AND EVERY TIME a lie from McCain is set straight by Obama and his supporters.

[featherman]

26. Perfect... just perfect. Short, punchy, funny... no comeback possible

[MarkBinPA]

29. Classic

Absolutely classic line!

[blueclown]

33. Let us hope he is saving some of these zingers for the first debate.

Hopefully the mainstream media underestimates him, because he will deliver a terrific performance.

The Ohio MSNBC debate is the best I have ever seen him in a debate. He has really improved.

[understandinglife]

38. Welcome to DU. We've only just begun to see Obama in action ...

Peace,
Bob

[Willo]

35. K&R

and Dugg too!

[hamsterjill]

36. Hit 'em again!!!

Harder! Harder!!

Go Barack!!!

[graywarrior]

39. The man tells it like it is.

[understandinglife]

40. He sure does!!!

:hi:

[Time for change]

41. It's great to see Obama taking it to him like that

I sure do hope he keeps it up.

[understandinglife]

72. Just imagine the first debate ... I truly wonder if Johnny will call in sick :)

Peace,
Bob

[Time for change]

78. If they can't find anything else

the corporate media will accuse Obama of being rude by breathing while McCain is speaking, or not giving proper deference to his POW history. And then they'll proclaim the debate a McCain victory on that basis. :(

[Rosa Luxemburg]

43. I love that "I've got a bridge to sell you"

my coffee almost went over the desk!

[vanderBeth]

44. LOL!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

45. Hahaha, that's GREAT!

Now THAT's what I like to hear!

Cut 'em down to size, Obama!

[Psst_Im_Not_Here]

46. I was there!!

It was awesome!

[Marnieworld]

47. He should have saaved that Bridge in Alaska line for a debate

It's quite the zinger. Oh well, there will be others good emough I am sure.

[Divine Discontent]

53. surely less than a quarter of voters had to hear that today, I hope he uses it! it's hysterical...

maybe Joe though can use a version of it against palin herself...

That was awesome!!

[Tigress DEM]

50. GObama! GObama! You da man. McCuckoo is the birdbrain just repeating every word.

I think this comeback Obama has created is going to become part of history.

Brooklyn Bridge, Bridge to nowhere..


"if you think those lobbyists are working day and night for John McCain just to put themselves out of business, well then I've got a bridge to sell you up in Alaska."



CLASSIC. CLASSIC.

Isn't it great to have a candidate with so much class and a sense of humor?

[Waiting For Everyman]

51. Oooh, that last line was a great one!!!

Point Obama.

[DeeDeeNY]

55. Great line! I hope he puts it in an ad.

[Bonn1997]

56. Great line but I would have saved it for the debates...

when so many people would be watching. Hopefully he'll use it again then.

[Mad_Dem_X]

58. Perfect!

Keep hitting 'em strong, Senator Obama!

They've got no ideas of their own, so they have to keep stealing from other people!

[BREMPRO]

60. ba ba bump! keep on chippin away at the faux CHANGE facade

and you get MORE OF THE SAME.

[liberal N proud]

62. I can't wait until the first debate

If things go as they should, the election could be over right then and there.

[Kolesar]

63. I hope that Americans can identify with "lobbyists" that way that the cognoscenti does

By cognoscenti, I mean DUers and political-heads.

[The Hope Mobile]

64. PRICELESS!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! nt

[bushisanidiot]

65. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

EXCELLENT LINE!!

I hope he says it to McCondo at the debates!!

[barack the house]

66. It's got to be his all time classic line, he should make an ad with that one.

[Veruca Salt]

67. Okay, I am officially going to stop trying to sell the Brooklyn Bridge...

and instead will attempt to sell the one in Alaska instead.

Smart and funny! This man must be our president! :rofl:

[lisainmilo]

68. Return the Government back to the People!

That's what I am talking about!


Go Obama! Hurray!

[Myrina]

70. McCain/Palin change = "From Bush-Horrible to OMFG, Send Help!"
