Obama is the Democrats' Reagan Obama beat the Clintons like a drum tonight. And then he beat their sorry [deleted] again in this magnificent victory speech. Watch the speech. Really, watch: if this man gets his party's nomination, he's going to be the next president. By a landslide. And he is going to transform this country. If I were a Republican, I'd be very, very afraid. Oh wait, I am a Republican. Dang. Lord have mercy, I wish that man were a conservative. Because there's no doubt in my mind about what he can accomplish for liberalism if he's elected. You've heard of Reagan Democrats? Barack Obama is the Democrats' Reagan.
No kidding, this is a terrific speech. Look, I don't want a man who believes the things Barack Obama believes to be president. But I've got to confess, he makes me proud of my country. When's the last time you heard from a politician that made you proud of your country? Here's the speech -- spend the next 17 minutes watching it. Whatever you think of Obama, you won't regret listening to this oratory. How any Democratic voter could choose Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama is a mystery to me.
I know, I know, it's only a speech. And you don't vote for a candidate solely because he gives a good speech, which is to say, entirely for therapeutic reasons. But if this Obama keeps talking like he does here, he's going to be president.

Obama will not win the nomination because the Clinton's will steal it.
but if he did win the nomination------Obama would be exposed for the inexperienced, wrong ideas, wrong positions, liberal Moonbat that he is
This is just the beginning.
This racist is way over his head.
Once the free ride is over, so is his candidacy.

I don't question your opinions on Obama in general, but am curious as to how you came to the conclusion that he is "racist."
I am fully aware that curiousity killed the cat. But I will be open-minded to your response if you make it seriously.

"Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois today urged hundreds of blacks not to vote along racial lines next week in Maryland's Senate race. Obama, the only black U.S. senator, came to the state to rally support for Democratic Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin, who is white. Cardin's Republican opponent, Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele, is the first black candidate ever elected statewide and has been courting black Democrats."--Associated Press, Nov. 3
"The nation's only black senator, Barack Obama, D-Ill., asked voters at two black churches and at a Nashville rally to elect [Harold] Ford, a Democrat who is trying to become the first black senator from the South in more than 100 years. 'I know that all of you are going to work the next couple of days to make sure it happens, because I'm feeling lonely in Washington,' Obama said at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. 'I need my dear friend to join me.' "--Associated Press, Nov. 5
Obama asks for the people of Maryland not vote on along racial lines and then urges people to vote for Ford because of his race.
what is that?
next the Church that Obama attends is pro African, pro black and no whites welcome.
Obama’s longtime minister, mentor, has been a key supporter of Louis Farrakhan and last month honored the Nation of Islam leader for lifetime achievement.
WTF
Farrakhan has repeatedly made hate-filled statements targeting Jews, whites, America, and homosexuals. He has called whites “blue-eyed devils” and the “anti-Christ.” He has described Jews as “bloodsuckers” who control the government, the media, and some black organizations.
Do you know some of these satanic Jews have taken over BET [the Black Entertainment Network]?” Farrakhan said in a speech on Nov. 11, 2007. “Everything that we built, they have. The mind of Satan now is running the record industry, movie industry, and television. And they make us look like we’re the murderers; we look like we’re the gangsters, but we’re punk stuff.”
Basically obamas church is involved with a group that preaches racism and hate.
IMO if the head of your church and your personal mentor and main adviser is a racist, you're a racist.

Now if Mitt Romney started saying vote for me because i am white and there are Too many Black people already in Washington then he would be toast.
and if he attended a Church that preached racism and hate he might end up in jail.
What scares me if Obama Denounced his church and stopped attending!!
IMO he would get a second chance being black and a good bullshitter....

Right. I suppose the same would apply for the many priests who molest children? I think the "Don't judge a book by its cover" saying comes into play here.
Obama is a great orator. It's going to be interesting to see what happens on Super Tuesday. 8)

If you seriously believe he is not, you would be in the ridiculously small minority. I'm not one to be moved by politicians, as I've heard alot of them say alot of things. But even my Republican friends say that while they may disagree with Obama on every single instance of policy, the guy can give a speech.
Nobody thinks he isn't a good speaker.
Except you.
Apparently.

I didn't say he wasn't a good speaker. He is adequate. I think the main thing which is inspirational is the candidate himself. Perhaps people are confusing that with his speaking ability.
I guess standards have dropped if he is considered a great orator. He normally speaks in close to a monotone and tends to be unfocused. His Iowa speech was pretty good though.
Mostly though it sounds like he is just going through the motions and following the teleprompter. Many people I have talked to don't get Obama as a great orator. He just doesn't rise to that level.

Wow.
Okay, we are in total disagreement.
And I highly doubt he's using a teleprompter for these. Why would he?
So you really don't think this is a good speech? This does nothing for you?

Just copy the address from the address bar and post that.
I already saw the speech and again, I'm not denying he is an adequate speaker. Just not a great sweeping orator in the tradition of a Reagan, MLK, or JFK. If that's what people are claiming I don't get that.
The lack of focus is usually when he strays from his prepared text. He tends to ramble a bit. I have also noticed his speech writers are not very good. I cannot think of one memorable line from any of his speeches except the word "change" which is merely a campaign slogan to be inserted 24.5 times per speech.

Indeed. But notice how people were inspired, not at the topics of their speeches. I agree that Hitler was indeed a great orator. But what does that have to do with Obama being one as well?
I agree that Obama does stumble and fumble a bit with his words, but even so, I still believe that he's a great speech giver.
