God damn this is awesome.

 

[scorcho]

so what happened? i left work hearing Romney was the likely VP choice, get some drinks, come back home a few hours later and now it's Pawlenty?

 

[The Librarian]

Olbermann: "I'd love to find something to criticize about it." :lol

 

[PantherLotus]

matthews will never get that meet the press job now. dammit.

 

[Anno]

What is this music? It sounds like Armageddon or something came on in the background.

 

[Dartastic]

They need to play "Halo Finale" right now, to fit how epic this moment is. I would SHIT MY PANTS.

Like I said earlier, he did PROMISE TO FINISH THE FIGHT! :lol

 

[Jenga]

You know, if McCain were to actually win the election, it'd be one of the greatest upsets in history. fo realz

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

next we have the democrat caucus performing a mass synchronized routine

 

[Yaweee]

Were people really that shocked by the speech? His MLK speech and his religion speech were both far better, in my opinion.

 

[140.85]

I legitimately teared up at the end

 

[Chiggs]

Invesco hasn't looked this cool since the Steelers won the Championship game!

FUCK YOU IN THE ASS

And the Broncos have been owning your goddamn cheerleaderless Steelers in the regular season.

 

[Tamanon]

"You know....I've been criticized for saying I'm inspired by him, but to hell with my critics"

Chris Matthews in full leg-thrill mode!

 

[adamsappel]

I like my AK, thank you very much.

You're not a criminal.

 

[Servbot #42]

The fireworks and music make this whole thing feel so epic.

 

[Suikoguy]

What a great speech....

Now if he can actually deliver on most of those ideals, I will be a very happy American

It's just not possible, but hopefully we can get things back on track.

 

[BobTheFork]

Obama - FUCK YEAH. Great speech; one of the only times I've listened to an entire hour long political speech. I talked to my father after and he honestly said it felt like when he was my age and saw Kennedy give his speech. I'm really excited about the election.

 

[RiskyChris]

Great delivery. Maaaaan, McCain must be shitting himself.

To be fair, McCain probably shits himself all the time.

Spoiler

I know

 

[pxleyes]

Oh there's the argument about how is he going to pay for everything. His speech must have caused money trees to spring out of the ground to pay for everything now.

:lol Go away.

 

[Shaheed79]

You do realize that every dollar of the Iraq money is deficit spending because 1. the budget is already a deficit, and 2. a very significant portion of the costs are supplemental (non budgetted) funding?, right? So you're saying Obama's going to run a bigger deficit.

:lol

Maybe you missed the part where I said taxing the hell out of the mega-rich and the big oil-conglomerates. In fact he can practically force the oil companies to fund the majority of the new energy bill. But when you are not spending 10s of billions on a war in Iraq it's amazing what you can do to help the economy with just a fraction of that amount. The alternative is going to drive us even further into debt. Instead of using the money to inadvertently screw the economy and the american working class along with it why not use it to heal the economy where WE the working class get to benefit? Makes sense to me.

 

[Tobor]

You know your party would have a better chance of pulling off this stupid smear if you hadn't just spent $6 trillion of our dollars.

 

[Chiggs]

You're not a criminal.

I'm gonna be if another Steeler fan makes another cute comment. :lol

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

Obviously Obama had been watching the Olympics - fireworkscoming out of the stadium!

They should have hired the Chinese firework planners. These were weak.

 

[Yaweee]

so what happened? i left work hearing Romney was the likely VP choice, get some drinks, come back home a few hours later and now it's Pawlenty?

Pawlenty canceled all media appearances for the weekend with no stated justification.

 

[Illuminati]

I can't believe some of you were actually getting water eyed over this it's a political speech...

 

[Riddler]

You know, if McCain were to actually win the election, it'd be one of the greatest upsets in history. fo realz

Yea, but people like him will win.

 

[Shiggie]

what is fox saying?

 

[Y2Kev]

Beautiful speech. Matthews is going absolutely nuts.

 

[maximum360]

"You know....I've been criticized for saying I'm inspired by him, but to hell with my critics"

Chris Matthews in full leg-thrill mode!

:lol

Waiting for the Fox News spin.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Chris Matthews is ejaculating live on air.

 

[jey_16]

What is this music? It sounds like Armageddon or something came on in the background.

definatly Armageddon

 

[Riddler]

I can't believe some of you were actually getting water eyed over this...

It was one of the best speeches I have ever seen. It moves you if you actually listen to what he said and did not put up a little note on your T.V. saying " He doesnt know what he's talking about"

 

[lopaz]

What is this music? It sounds like Armageddon or something came on in the background.

It's WAR music.

 

[Tamanon]

Beautiful speech. Matthews is going absolutely nuts.

:lol yeah he is "He took their best shot and told them they were full of crap"

 

[Hootie]

They should have hired the NBC CGI Team. These were weak.

amirite

 

[DarienA]

That was a f'n awesome speech.

EDIT: I cannot WAIT for the debates....

 

[kkaabboomm]

who's waiting for the golden-hued visa commercial with morgan freeman narrating a congrats to barack obama?

 

[Gaborn]

:lol

Yeah... no he can't. Good luck with that if you think he can do that without nationalizing exxon.

 

[ZeoVGM]

After that speech, I find this appropriate.

Fantastic speech.

 

[Deus Ex Machina]

what is fox saying?

 

[Karma Kramer]

LOL WHO THE FUCK IS FOLLOWING THAT SPEECH?!??!?!

 

[RurouniZel]

I came.

 

[Incognito]

Simply amazing.

 

[pizzaguysrevenge]

I can't believe some of you were actually getting water eyed over this it's a political speech...

Seriously, this guy is a better choice than McCain, but he's not the fucking messiah.

 

[ToyMachine228]

HOW IS OBAMA GOING TO PAY FOR ALL THAT? Um, let's see maybe you should ask Bush and McCain and GOP the same question. Oh wait, instead of collecting taxes to pay for their stuff, they CUT taxes and then increase spending ten fold and blow a surplus. Whoops.

 

[Haunted]

gg McCain


Great speech.

 

[TheKingsCrown]

Did anyone feel like the end of that harkened to imagery of The Dark Knight, including the music?

 

[Nabs]

just need the camera shutter and i think we've got something.

 

[besada]

It's just not possible, but hopefully we can get things back on track.

It's not probable, but it is possible. The changes are smaller than both the New Deal and Johnson's Great Society, and both of those passed and became ingrained in American culture.

 

[aparisi2274]

It's just not possible, but hopefully we can get things back on track.

Look I will be happy if we can cut the deficit in half or even get it close to being back to a surplus...

I would love if we lessen our dependence on Foreign Oil!!!

I am looking for simple things... things that can actually happen...

 

[C.Dark.DN]

so, wasnt mccain supposed to release a commercial ?
