1. A very good interview

Shows his personality well. This sort of thing is going to help people know him better than the political interviews.

2. Cute. Obama always a good sport..

[blue neen]

3. What a great interview!

Obama has quite a sense of humor. I love it!

Jimmy Kimmel for VP! :)

[tblue37]

7. Yes, and his open, charming smile, bigger than all outdoors,

punctuated with that self-deprecating baritone chuckle, is a refreshing change from the Bush smirk and snicker.

[rebel with a cause]

23. Veting "The Afleck thing won't pass"

Hilarious. You would not expect Obama to know about that video. I wonder if they had Jimmy's questions in advance. I know bush and company always requires to know them. Well, even if he did know them in advance, he was funny and comfortable. :bounce:

[Demit]

4. Fave line: Obama says he's gonna "post up on John McCain every chance he gets."

Great interview, loved the fist pound.

[graywarrior]

5. What a great personality he has!

6. When my wife and I were in Haiti last year...

...a lot of the little kids would come up to us to give us a fist pound. They wanted to show the Americans that they were cool!

[On the Road]

8. Ha Ha -- That Stupid Terrorist Comment

is going to come back to haunt them big time. I can see the fist pound developing into a signature of the campaign, and everybody will want to buy in. You can't create that kind of opportunity.

[niceypoo]

11. Republicans are such morons, this is an attempt to excite their racist base...

They will attack all things that they percieve to be ghetto or black, it is really all they have. They tend to self destruct in that arena.

[On the Road]

20. I am Wondering Whether

the fist is coming to be seen as not only innocuous, but a signtaure of the Obama campaign -- a cool "in" thing that is nonthreatening enough for everyone to participate in. I think they are holding themselves up for ridicule.

9. Thanks so much for this clip, jefferson_dem. . .

. . .for those of us who vow never to watch the corporate-TV again.


And, Senator Obama, you couldn't be more right for us and the U.S. at this moment in time.

OBAMAALLTHE WAY TOTHE WHITEHOUSE

:kick: :loveya: :kick: :loveya: :kick:

10. I just love the genuine feeling he gives off...

You know, I had to just tune out any of the comments from these so called experts... they say the stupidest things and just don't 'get' a damn thing.
Honestly I think it is the age difference big time. Its time for a generational shift in our thinking and our govt, everything.SO glad to see this. and Edwards has it too.
oh yea, it's time!

12. The thought of having a real, intelligent human being as President is almost more than I can take

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]

17. It's exciting, isn't it?

Legitimacy (or, at very least, the ability to speak in coherent sentences) may yet be brought back to the office.

[The Wielding Truth]

18. It was so refreshing! I know it lowered my blood pressure.

[AspenRose]

13. That was funny

And he gives awesome answers.

[MindMatter]

14. For the last time, it was not a "terrorist fist bump"

It was obviously a STREET GANG fist bump.

Come on Faux, let's have some accuracy in reporting.

[otohara]

15. Love It

he's so adorable.

[melody]

16. Terrific interview -- thanks for posting it n/t

[progressoid]

19. That was fun.

[Taverner]

21. Proof that Obama converts Republicans

Jimmy Kimmel is a Repub

He has said he supports Obama...

[gateley]

22. Kimmel had him cracking up - great interview. nt

[samsingh]
