[Muttocracy]

1. thanks! nt

[jenmito]

2. No problem! I saw a thread about it but it didn't have links to the speech.

:hi:

[DangerousRhythm]

3. Thanks!

I love me some Joe. :D

[jenmito]

4. No problem! And all 3 cable news networks better cover the entire speech live, too!

Just like they do for Palin!

[Clio the Leo]

5. has anyone found AN ACTUAL CNN video link?.......

..... I am recording and the Obama feed ...... bless them ..... is infamously choppy.

[jenmito]

8. What's the difference between the 2?

[Clio the Leo]

11. the CNN link......

only shows a list of upcoming live events ...... I cant find a video feed (on CNN) .... what am I missing?

(but thanks to the OP for posting it, i'm not complaining lol)

[Muttocracy]

9. I think CNN may have switched to Bernanke. My Obama feed is doing better now. nt

[Clio the Leo]

12. yeah, mine too (crossing fingers) NT

[oviedodem]

6. Wonder when Palin will do this; OOOPS - she just met her first leaders yesterday

[Muttocracy]

7. drat - was trying to get CNN feed to work and missed Biden's intro. Obama site working now. nt

[ellacott]

10. Thanks, here's another link

http://www.wlwt.com/video/17546590/index.html

This one isn't blocked at my job. :)

[OKNancy]

13. Uh oh.. he said something nice about McCain.. hang him

not really, just thinking how ridiiclous some attacks on our own side are.

[Muttocracy]

14. I think it makes his criticisms more damning (can't be spun as petty attacks). nt

[nc4bo]

15. Oh Joe!! I love ya dude!! nt

[Sugarcoated]

16. Go Joe!!!

Is he intentionally keeping the tone . . . . nevermind, he's building up to it!!!

[jenmito]

19. He worked up to a standing-ovation-worthy tone!

[jenmito]

17. He's going after McCain hard-calling him out on wanting to go after Iraq and

OTHER countries! And about how bad his judgment has been on how Iraq was going, etc.!

[blondeatlast]

18. "We will end this war!" Aaaaamen... nt

[blondeatlast]

20. "bush is using Barack's own plan." Are you with GWB or against GWB, John? LOL! nt

[butterfly77]

21. Now what Sarah...

we are waiting for your major speech. Good strategy!

[nc4bo]

22. HA! I forgot about 'er for a minute. nt

[jenmito]

25. I bet LOTS of people did! And when it comes to voting, I bet they'll be thinking

of Biden and how clearly knowledgeable he is compared to Palin, who is the VP to an old, sickly man!

[jenmito]

23. She's gonna meet with Bono! Isn't that equivalent?

:rofl:

[Muttocracy]

31. Bono has actually talked policy with Biden - and Biden and Obama are Irish :-)

[jenmito]

45. Yeah-O'bama. :)

[Sugarcoated]

24. McBush sounds panicked and angry and disturbed

says anything, is all over the place, stands for nothing.

Joe and Barack are measured, confident, angry yet controlled, not trying to scare, just making sense. Nobody could be more genuine on this subject than Joe Biden.

[jenmito]

26. Giving EXAMPLES of McCain's very, very poor judgment!

:bounce:

[Sugarcoated]

27. All these years he's been billed as a top of the ticket guy

but he's the perfect VP.

[faithfulcitizen]

69. You're right! Because he's tough, yet a team player.

[Clio the Leo]

28. OUCH Joe? "Kill HIM"! .....

... not exactly MY chosen end but it does make for a good sound bite and it's what most people want to hear.

(I'd rather let Bin Laden spend the rest of his life trying to sort things out with his maker in a prison cell, but that's why I'm not running for VP.)

[1corona4u]

49. I'd rather kill him too.

And I hardly ever say that, but if any one individual deserved it, it's Osama.

[jenmito]

29. I can see the headlines now: "Biden-invisible no more-and on the attack!"

[susanwy]

105. Keep dreaming

Notice how not one MSM station had any commentary after the speech! They go on and on and on after Palin opens her mouth, seriously they always spend a few minutes talking about her and her comments. But, Joe delivers a speech that actually covers in depth the foreign policy challenges we are facing and the MSM acts like it never happened. I promise you tonight the talking heads will say "Ya, he gave a good speech, but what about his latest gaffe on FDR....yada, yada, yada. And Palin met with Bono!" The advent of the 24 hour news cycle will be the death of this country.

[jenmito]

111. MSNBC had some commentary right after their breaking news about whatever...

and I bet Matthews and Olbermann and Maddow will be talking about how hard he went against McCain!

[susanwy]

117. and CNN

went right into the story on "Biden's own bridge problem", their "keeping them honest" segment. I give the MSM no quarter any more.

ON EDIT:

CNN did cover one clip of Biden attacking McCain on experience and then the lead in was "speaking of sarah palin...", right to a piece on how Laura Bush loves Palin, big smiles, all fluff piece.

Ya, tell me again how he will get positive coverage of this speech.:puke:

[blondeatlast]

30. He is soooo setting up for the debate. Displaying his deep knowledge of and experience

in foregin affairs; especially in Afghanistan/Pakistan/India.

[oviedodem]

36. He just slammed McCain hard on an Obama policy blocking investments to Iran; McCain opposed

[butterfly77]

48. This is a good strategy...

since the delicate flower went to do her photo-op yesterday and took no questions, lets see her comeback against Biden...

[jenmito]

32. It looks like Biden's not even reading from a teleprompter at times. He's looking at the

audience at times. Very authentic.

[Muttocracy]

33. He could probably give this whole speech off of about 10 bullet points :)

[jenmito]

41. Yup. And the people will see this during the VP debate. :)

[nc4bo]

34. He's been absolutely amazing so far. He's on fire. nt

[burythehatchet]

38. he's very easy to listen to

[DangerousRhythm]

50. Agreed! The man is giving a great speech!

I hope the right people are watching this, those supposed undecideds, because he's good. :D

[medicswife]

35. He rarely uses it. He's so damned knowledgeable, he can

just speak extemporaneously about Foreign Policy.

[Clio the Leo]

43. yep, this the man my father called "an idiot" yesterday. GRRRRR!!!!! NT

[butterfly77]

Did he know anything about Biden..

before Obama chose him for vp..

[Clio the Leo]

66. Yes, here's the whole thread.....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=7160432&mesg_id=7160432

[Clio the Leo]

70. "Joe, will you come over?" ....... yeah I'd call him too. NT

[jenmito]

52. He's GOOD! He's looking right at the audience!

[Muttocracy]

37. and he's giving a speech he actually wrote himself, which helps! I'm sure

the Obama camp reviewed it, but I can tell it's Biden's style and phrases.

[jenmito]

56. I'm not surprised!

BOTH of them write their own speeches!

[Ichingcarpenter]

39. 'That's not putting Country first that's putting Politics first'

I've really grown to love Biden, I really liked him before.

[Muttocracy]

46. just called McCain a saber-rattler - and pointed out how counterproductive in Iran - people rally

behind leaders they otherwise don't link - and spikes oil prices to support those very countries.

[Ichingcarpenter]

57. I'm listening what is the stock market doing right now?

Do you see a ticker?

[nc4bo]

65. creeping north it seems ;) nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

79. I wonder what the market will do when Palin meets Bono today?

LOL!!!

[nc4bo]

81. Strike that, it's down again. NAS pointed up. nt

[Muttocracy]

85. Bernanke is speaking to the House right now, isn't he? nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

90. All I have is my computer feed right now

It sounds like its not significantly negatively affected from what you tell me.

[nc4bo]

100. That right, sure is. nt

[Clio the Leo]

40. "That's not putting country first, that's putting POLITICS first!!!" GET EM JOE!!! ....

.... regarding the Iranian Divestment Bill.

http://obama.senate.gov/press/070516-obama_frank_lan/

[jillan]

42. So - what do you guys think is the purpose of this speech?

To show him in comparison to the mooseprincess?
or
To set the stage for Obama's debate?

[Ichingcarpenter]

53. Both...... flushes two turds down the toilet in one click

Joe doing a great job

[Clio the Leo]

55. He's about to announce that he and a band of volunteer former vet/Obama supporters.....

..... are about to go storm the hills of Afghanistan and get Bin Laden themselves!!! At which point he'll take off his coat, roll up his sleaves and storm off the stage!

Sucks to be you Taliban dudes!!! :)

[blondeatlast]

60. Setting the stage--he's demonstrating he already knows where the real trouble spots are.

He's not giving up a lot of info, though, just making it clear he knows the stuff in ways Sanctimonious Sarah can't possibly learn in that short of tiem.

Damn, he's good!

[Muttocracy]

67. I wonder if Sarah and JoeLie are taping this and furiously taking notes :)

[blondeatlast]

89. No doubt--but Joe's depth and the fact that he actually knows most

if the players on a first-name basis will destroy them anyway.

He's setting both McCain and SS up for a fall..

[butterfly77]

83. Both...

[susanwy]

84. both

The speech makes Palin look like she is in Kindergarten, and he has a Doctorate. The speech also details many of Obama's plans on foreign policy. It is great that Obama has obviously listened to Biden and altered some of his positions. She what happens when you have a VP that can speak his mind.

[babylonsister]

44. Another man on our ticket who can actually communicate; I feel like

I've gone to heaven! Dare we deserve this one-two combo?

[Sugarcoated]

47. This man wanted desperately to help Chimpy

but was ignored. Joe loves his country . . . this is so satisfying.

[medicswife]

51. We can still say "No!!!"

Go JOE!!!!!!

:patriot:

[Muttocracy]

54. taking on tough vs. SMART and the foolish look-in-their-eyes crap. nt

[butterfly77]

58. I love it...

he is going country by country and questioning McCain's judgement..

[jenmito]

72. He is KILLING McCain! He must be FUMING over this!

[AlCzervik]

59. he is nailing McCain on everything, the line about Spain was brilliant.

[Muttocracy]

61. "Imagine if we had listened to John McCain on removing Russia from G-8..would have triggered crisis"

[jenmito]

62. He's been going on for about a half hour so far!!

[Clio the Leo]

80. hope everyone went potty first ...... he went for almost an hour in a speech two days ago....

..... homeboy aint known for his brevity. ;)

[faithfulcitizen]

63. I LOVE JOE BIDEN!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:


He's nailing McCain on Iran & comments about Spain!

[Clio the Leo]

74. say it with me now ...... "YOU"RE HOT JOE!!!!" NT

[faithfulcitizen]

101. I am much younger than him, but I must say he seems to get even more handsome with age.

[Clio the Leo]

108. Yep, he has replaced Sean Connery as ......

...... "Sexiest Old Guy" on MY list anyway.

[trashcanistanista]

64. Biden is hitting out of the park for Barack!

And getting full CNN Coverage. He is burying McCain alive.

[DangerousRhythm]

73. WOW, is CNN seriously covering Biden for once?

EXCELLENT! :woohoo:

I turned my TV on instead of streaming it. :D

[Sugarcoated]

78. And Faux AND MSNBC

[MelSC]

68. What was McCain thinking?

Did he really think Palin would be able to contend againt Biden? I can't wait until that debate!

I sometimes think McCain is trying to lose this campaign on purpose.

[Muttocracy]

76. McCain wasn't thinking, or not thinking clearly! It was a bone thrown to religious right

to get their $$ and to help Congressional races. They're throwing this election and hoping for 2012. That's my theory anyway :)

[Muttocracy]

71. Interesting - this is the most he's spoken about his trip to Georgia so far. nt

[AlCzervik]

75. Palin is so done, she would need an interpreter to even understand what Biden is talking about.

[trashcanistanista]

114. Oh God! That is so true and so funny!

DUZY!:rofl:

[oviedodem]

77. I feel sorry for Palin during the foreign policy segments fo the debate

[Muttocracy]

82. I hope they make her go first too :)

[Clio the Leo]

87. and I hope he wears his biggest sh*t eating grin the whole time. NT

[Clio the Leo]

91. "Lead by the power of our example and not just the example of our power!!" I LOVE YOU JOE!!!! NT

[Ichingcarpenter]

88. Small Town Mayor vs Giant Joe Biden

No Contest

[jenmito]

96. I don't. If she listens to him she may forget her lines.

[Clio the Leo]

86. it will be like my first and only HS debate attempt....

.... I was TOTALLY unprepared and was going up against the reigning city champion.

I hardly slept the night before ........ five mins. in I started crying and ran out! lol

[MelSC]

92. Haha...me too

Just like I almost feel sorry for Bush every time he makes a speech, I have to turn off my TV in embarrassment. Something tells me it will be the same when watching Biden and Palin together. Biden will run circles around her, and I hope he doesn't hold back!

[nc4bo]

93. Anybody shocked MSNBC (sorry) stayed on Joe's speech from beginning to end? nt

[1corona4u]

99. Yeah, I am...

[ellacott]

103. I'm wondering if they are doing this because of their treatment from the McCain camp

The media is upset about the net around Palin and I could see them showing less of her and more of Biden.

At least that's what I'm hoping. :)

[jenmito]

102. No. They knew they HAD to after showing ALL of Palin's canned speeches at rallies...

and if my complaints (and others') had anything to do with it, they BETTER show the whole thing! :D

[Clio the Leo]

94. WOOHOOOO!!!! I WANNA VOTE RIGHT NOW!!!!!! NT

[Muttocracy]

98. they were probably hoping for a gaffe but instead helped spread the Obama message :)

[ellacott]

95. Thank YOU Joe!!!!

[trashcanistanista]

97. Biden is giving Americans a primer on how the

world works right now in order to prep them for the debates. It's like a crash course on what's going on. People can use this info as a way to judge the candidates. I am assuming he is scaring the shit out of McPhailin. In light of Ahmadinajad being on Larry King last night, and by the way crazy nut that he is, he came across as willing to talk and backed Barack's timetable for the US to get out of Iraq. Commentator says Biden just "built a lawyer's case" against McCain. I hope they run parts of this all day long.

[Muttocracy]

104. it had both lots of substance and some great sound bites, so I hope the media will use it either way

[jenmito]

110. Unfortunately, the hearings about the economy are going on, but they WILL be talking

about this tonight, I bet.

[trashcanistanista]

113. Nope, they are talking about Biden

on CNNN and his Delaware bridge vs Palin's Bridge to nowhere. It will be Biden all day on CNN. They did a special on him last night.

[jenmito]

115. Good. I'm happy to hear it!

CNN is getting better with their coverage. I think it started when Tucker Bounds was "stumped" by Campbell Brown who simply asked him to name one order Palin gave to the Alaskan National Guard. McCain canceled his appearance on LKL after that claiming Brown crossed the line!

[susanwy]

118. ALL NEGATIVE

Not a single bit of positive coverage on him last night. We'll see if they give him positive coverage, but I'm not holding my breath.

[CampLo]

109. somebody hook up with a link

once it's uploaded. thanks. Missed the stream.

[medicswife]

119. I think that he also knew that he wasn't going to be allowed

enough time to build the case during the VP debate, so he used this speech to get out a lot of what he wished he could say on stage with Palin.

[Jennicut]

106. Biden kicked McLiar's ass all over the place in this speech

From Spain to Iraq to Russia to Iran he really gave it to his "friend". I loved it when he spoke about sitting down with the Georgian president and working on a strategy for them regarding Russia, could Phalin even think about doing that? And he backed up Barack with plenty of examples of better more logical thinking over McLiar's hotheadness. I love ya Joe!

[jenmito]

107. He sure did! I bet McCain was fuming when/if he heard it! Especially when Joe said McCain

was NOT putting country first but POLITICS first!

Oh-Palin's going to shake the guy's hand and take a picture-does THAT count? :D

[jillan]

112. Palin won't even let the press listen to her conversations with world leaders at the same time Biden

gives a major foreign policy speech.

haha!!

[jenmito]

116. What are you talking about?

She let the press hear her ask Karzai what his son's name is! :D
