The actor's American.

Actor? LOST isn't real?

 

[frankthurk]

Gore citing George Washington? I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Why?

 

[besada]

Heh. Obama as Lincoln.

 

[DancingJesus]

Actor? LOST isn't real?

:lol Nice.

 

[JayDubya]

Heh. Obama as Lincoln.

So... Obama will suspend habeas corpus, arrest political critics, and wildly expand executive power? :lol

Woo!

 

[Tamanon]

So... Obama will suspend habeas corpus, arrest political critics, and wildly expand executive power? :lol

Woo!

he didn't say Obama as Bush.

 

[Keylime]

So... Obama will suspend habeas corpus, arrest political critics, and wildly expand executive power? :lol

Woo!

AND avoid theatres at all fucking costs.

Check, check, check and CHECK

 

[besada]

So... Obama will suspend habeas corpus, arrest political critics, and wildly expand executive power? :lol

Woo!

Only once the Civil War starts.

 

[frankthurk]

he didn't say Obama as Bush.

Nice. :lol

 

[Learn2read]

Only once the Civil War starts.

LOLbertarians will be first against the wall...

 

[Door2Dawn]

Why wasn't that man president?

 

[Byakuya769]

Given this & this, I fail to see how he could possibly reconcile a lot of that with this.

Of course, it's always a toss up of fail between Republocrats as to which parts of the Bill of Rights they like.

Basically you couldn't answer his question, huh?

 

[Amir0x]

Man that speech was really weak

 

[ronito]

Only once the Civil War starts.

which paradoxially will only being when Mccain is elected...

 

[DancingJesus]

Man that speech was really weak

I almost fell asleep after those shots.

 

[Keylime]

Man that speech was really weak

Inconveniently true.

 

[Diablos]

Great speech by Al Gore. I don't think it was weak at all.

 

[besada]

Man that speech was really weak

He had some good lines, but Gore's never been exactly an electrifying speaker. Well, maybe if you threw a glass of water in his circuits.

 

[Chiggs]

Man that speech was really weak

I think anyone that goes out there and tries to upstage the main event will probably be on the outside looking in for the next 4-8 years.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

That stadium is packed. How many people just on the field?

 

[giga]

i thought the speech was great. it's not always about the crowd.

 

[BotoxAgent]

he didn't say Obama as Bush.

touche!

 

[Lemonz]

DAMN!! That panoramic view of the crowd on CSPAN.

 

[Haunted]

A solid speech, but it did nothing for the crowd.

It's half rhetoric and half showmanship/charisma with political speeches, and Gore only has the former.

If only audiences would react to content as much as they do to inspiration/charisma.


edit: no wait, scratch that, there's one coming up later who has both.

edit²: and thinking about that, McCain has neither. Now that's weak.

 

[Learn2read]

I think the setting fails from being less intimate...it's like the difference between a studio album and a poor live recording that's just lacking some oompf.

 

[Chiggs]

What does this speech mean for the Denver Broncos? We won two Superbowls with a Democrat in office; will Obama help us with the 3rd?

 

[besada]

Goddamit. Including caucuses he DID win fucking Texas, you stupid fuckers.

 

[Qwerty710710]

WOW there might be 90,000 people to listen to Obama's speech.

 

[Diablos]

I agree that Gore traditionally isn't very charismatic, but this speech was pretty powerful based on what he typically does.

 

[Karma Kramer]

Damn you guys are tough critics. I thought that speech was excellent.

 

[Amir0x]

I think anyone that goes out there and tries to upstage the main event will probably be on the outside looking in for the next 4-8 years.

i dont think Gore COULD upstage Obama by nature of being Al Gore, but he can be a passionate fighter for his cause when prompted. Here it was petulant whining about the lack of an Al Gore presidency coupled with feeble hero worship and barely on-message pandering to voter segments. It wasn't inspiring or rhetorically grand, it wasn't meaty OR interesting... it just existed.

 

[Bulla564]

Man you guys are thick...

The man is a GENIUS and a STATESMAN. I guess his words were too deep for some of you.

Today I'm proud of my fellow Rationals (ENTJs) Al Gore, Lincoln, and Obama.

 

[JayDubya]

Basically you couldn't answer his question, huh?

It answers it pretty succinctly, actually. The 10th Amendment is clear. The overwhelming majority of the policies Obama supports are not Constitutionally within the limits of power granted to the federal government.

I'll wait right here while you find the part that applies to universal healthcare, for just one example.

 

[Stinkles]

No, you didn't. Where's 16 and 17? 18's already gone, thankfully.

Presumably your interpretation of the constitution is the correct one. Plz post all your edits of this faulty, shitty document for us.

Edit: NO wait, Michael McDonald is coming on.

Edit 2: Holy shit it's like Mad TV's Randy Newman skit.

 

[aceface]

So... Obama will suspend habeas corpus, arrest political critics, and wildly expand executive power? :lol

Woo!

We get it, you're a libertarian. Leave 90% of us that have decided that Libertarianism is bullshit alone so we can get on with our lives.

 

[Qwerty710710]

Obama campaign might printed 20,000 more tickets than the stadium can hold.

 

[mckmas8808]

That's the amazing thing about tonight. It's history and it needs to be shown big.

 

[thefro]

Needs more american flags, lulz

I was just wondering, do you like George Bush? Cause yknow, username and all, but then... like, it's Bush

He didn't seem very bitter about his loss in 2000.

 

[Door2Dawn]

Hey,it's that white guy that sings like a black guy!

 

[mugwhump]

I rest my case.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

man guys i got the shits

 

[Chiggs]

That's the amazing thing about tonight. It's history and it needs to be shown big.

It definitely is. I almost had really, really good pressbox tickets from my company, too.

 

[The Chosen One]

The set doesn't look as bas as I originally thought. They conveniently put American flags in front of all the columns. :lol

Btw, I'm now watching CNN exclusively for the convention coverage. MSNBC is a mess.

 

[Door2Dawn]

Hey guise wat's going on, did the convention happen already or wat

man guys i got the shits

 

[Tobor]

That Gore speech was fucking amazing. I can't believe you guys are hating. Wow.

 

[JayDubya]

Yes, I just love the Patriot Act, because that doesn't violate any part of the BoR at all.
