I was being sarcastic about Hillary’s and TP’s possible relationship, Ranting Tommy!
Hillary and her puppeteers are now maneuvering for power, and she’ll be like the vindictive ex who won’t go away.

The irony of this is that it is the counterpoint to the MSM’s continued touting that May was the least violent month in Iraq since the war started. hardly a peep on how nasty Afghanistan has gotten. I wonder how many Iraq war battle-hardened jihadists are now showing up in Afghanistan and Pakistan to press the new offensive there. Perhaps its their new tactic–seeing as how violent April was in Iraq. Attack in Iraq, retreat and regroup while the the attack is pressed in Afghanistan. As soon as we redirect to Afghanistan, will they return to the offensive again in Iraq? We’ll see.

The American People and the Democratic Party have already made the decision. It’s not Hillary’s to make anymore.

Maybe TP is waiting for Hillary to make the decision.

PRESIDENT OBAMA has such a nice ring to it. Maybe even THIS website will admit that now.

Cmon TP, you guys are my favorite, but this one blemish is becoming more and more distracting.

Pay no attention to this. So what. It doesn’t matter that OBL is in the mountains of Pakistan and that Musharraf is being forced out of office. No matter that Shia clerics will take over control of Pakistan, who have nukes. Don’t worry that the clerics will give OBL access to those nukes.

Could Bush have F’ed this up any more?

All the while with that g’dam smirk,heh heh, and bob of the head before more of his lies come spewing from his mouth.

Maybe Obama getting the delegates he needs for the Dem nomination will make tomorrow’s ThinkFast?

Hello, TP?

May saw more violence than any other month since the 2001 U.S. intervention that toppled the Taliban and forced Osama bin Laden and his followers to flee into Pakistan.

But I don’t get it, everything’s so peachy in Iraq.

Balderdash, Bro! See my post at 14. I just don’t have the priveledge of being able to hear the voices of Demosthenes, Cicero or Webster. And I referenced JFK in the same post.

This is a tribute. Obama is simply stunning. Hitler was stunning too. Hitler was steaming evil. There is no comparison except in this one area. Have you ever listened to Hitlers speeches? (Note: I am a HS History teacher, not a closet Nazi, I have heard him speak on ed videos).

Churchil was great too, but in a totally different style. Clinton and Reagan both had their moments. Obama is better than all three. That is pretty impressive.

How poetic that Obama spoke this evening at the Excel Center.

Tonight, the christening of a rejuvenated party; in September, a funeral for a dead one.

The line to enter the arena was 15 blocks long just before 9 tonight. McNumbNuts couldn’t draw a crowd that big unless it gathered to spit on his grave.

Keltoi etc… “It is a feast for the psyche to watch him when he is in form.”

I understand your fascination. Oratory is a vehicle for effective leadership. A good orator has a better chance of success in becoming that leader.
History will record the fruits of effective leadership, be they good or bad.

There have been untold orators down through the ages of human history, persons who had an effective command of language and art. Some were positive forces, others negative.
It’s sad that the only example of another orator you can come up with is the poster bogeyman whom the republican neo-fascists have embraced as their own ultimate orator.

Oh yeah, Afghanistan, another of Bush’s failures that the future President will have to deal with.

I agree with everyone here. Obama’s speech and the crowd reaction was amazing. I live only an hour and a half from the xcel center. Didn’t make it tonite, but bet yr arse i’ll be there in Sept. to “welcome” McCain and his party of criminals.

And to echo what others have said here, YES, TP, it is over, it is okay to have a thread on Obama now. Otherwise, we’ll talk about it on your Afghanistan thread.

Daily Show time PST.

What we have now whether TP wants to report it or not…

Barack Obama, a former Constitutional Law Professor is our nominee for President.

I thought I would see, by now, this very news worthy event up for discussing on TP…. came over here to see.
