DISQUS

AMERICAblog: Obama, live from Berlin, around 1pm Eastern - watch it here

  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    While waiting for the Obama speech I surfed Huff Post and had the best laugh of the week. A little below the Obama news was this headline "McCain plays catch up, visits German restuarant in German Town OH.

    Honest to god, this is the funniest thing I have read in a week. Obama in Berlin, McCain in a wurst/weinie house.

    I want to watch it on TV but that Andrea neoCON is on.

    ugh!

    Do I have to go to CNN

    OH MY GOONESS

    The crowds! The crowds!

    WOW!

    A new day is a coming,. :-)

    Heilige Scheisse! Look at all those people! Turning out for an inexperienced one-term Senator who can't be trusted, according to 55% of the latest NBC/WSJ poll respondents. And one with a funny name! For comparisons sake, let's show that half-empty hall in Wilkes-Barre yesterday, where McCain put 700 people to sleep...

    hahaha ... Andrea is jealous that Obama is in Germany when America is sufferng at home.

    Is Obama US President already?

    neoCON Andrea - why is she a reporter? I mean a propogandanist?
  • Sage24 · 1 year ago
    Unbelievable. First the MPain campaign criticizes Obama for not going to Iraq, and now that he has done that, and is visiting other countries too, they are now criticizing him for not being at home, to deal with domestic issues. Issues that were made into big messes, by the republicans themselves.

    GAWD!!!!

    Mrs. Greenspan is feeding straight lines to John Thune on MSNBC right now.
  • sittenpretty · 1 year ago
    she is VILE inside and out yuccccccccccccccck
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    He's speaking now....it's on CNN and MSRNC.
  • Sage24 · 1 year ago
    Obama is so good, that the republicans are finding it hard to take. Those massive crowds must be making the Rethugs MAD.
    Their insipid nominee cannot get a crowd like that even at home.
    AMericans don't realize that after Bozo Bush, people once again, are beginning to appreciate an intellectual American, around the world.

    mccain came to my state of NH the other day, his plane landed at the manchester airport and there were only two reporters there. probably interns from local stations.
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago
    Department store mannequin posing as John Thune (R-SD) just told Mrs. Greenspan that this crowd didn't mean anything since it was a European crowd and Europeans don't vote for US president. Expect this meme to dominate: yes, McCain challenged Obama to go abroad, but now that he has, it doesn't mean anything, since the real American candidate is at the Suasage Haus in AMERICA, not among the sausage-eaters in some foreign place.
  • FunMe · 1 year ago
    I truly America will turn the IGNORE button.

    This is a new beginning!
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    I'm starting to agree with Tweety that McCrazy might pick Thune for Veep.

    He has the smarmy and sleazy cockiness that Repubs seem to love.

    (Reminds me of a guy who sold me a car once.)

    All things are bad for Obama. Large crowns, popularity, poll leads, enthusiasm, great speeches, competence. All these play directly into John McCain's hands somehow.

    Meanwhile, Grandpa McCain is having a bib tied around his flabby neck in a German diner in Ohio desperately trying to get someone to pay attention to him.

    The difference could not be more stark.
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    I must be twisted but I am still laughting about that McCain stop, wouldn't you think his advisors could have picked something different? Talk about contrasts!
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Oh my Lord!

    I thought you guys were joking!

    No, I have been laughing for the last hour. It has made my otherwise dull day filled with laughter. I will always remeber this---Obama in Berlin, McCain in a wienie house.
  • sittenpretty · 1 year ago
    he aint perfect,but he ROCKS!!!
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    It is about time that America has intelligent, well spoken representation in the world. What a contrast from "frat boy" or even the slow, almost drugged induced speech pattern of McCain. This is the kind of leader I want for this country, someone that other nations respect.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    What do you mean "ALMOST drug induced....." ?
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    LOL okay maybe "almost" was too kind.

    Yeah, I cried throughout as well...All the right notes in a tour de force master performance on the global stage. I can feel Europe sizzling with Obamexcitement.

    get that rotted corpse Andrea MitcellGREENSPIN off my screen
  • houstonray · 1 year ago
    God I love him. How amazing it will be to have a leader like him....Powerful powerful powerful. Amazing.

    Wow....
  • FunMe · 1 year ago
    CNN says "very powerful speech".

    What did the rich bitch say? I don't know, I decided not to watch that neoCON ice queen at the other propaganda cable channel.
  • Rob Mule · 1 year ago
    Wow!
  • BorninUSA · 1 year ago
    Andrea is trying ever so hard to make someone say something bad about Obama's speech in Berlin. She is such a hag. Why does MSNBC keep kissing her a**? Unbelievable, Mclame says it is inappropriate to go to Germany to speak BEFORE you are elected POTUS. Well, guess Mclame will never go there. Obama looks sooooo presidential. Good enough for me!
  • brian · 1 year ago
    What a wonderful speech! This is the kind of reaching out to the rest of the world we need!
  • SarainKC · 1 year ago
    Looks like a million people to me....simply awe inspiring.
  • Chimpeach · 1 year ago
    oh god I'm still watching. the crowd is just mobbing him, cheering, chanting yes we can.
    thrilling
  • Rob Mule · 1 year ago
    A speech as if Bush/Cheney had never existed...Think how far we'd be if this was the mindset that first met the challenge of September 11 or Katrina.
  • BorninUSA · 1 year ago
    Please, pundits, don't keep making excuses for Mclame. He is old, feeble, completely irrational. Put him out of his misery now and take him home to one of his eight homes and tuck him in. We don't want to listen to his tired attempts at campaigning any more nor want to watch his pathetic face on TV. And take Ms. Greenspan with you. She is done. No one will miss her either.
  • houstonray · 1 year ago
    Ha, CNN is finishing up talking about how 'powerful' and 'incredible' his speech was, and how 'hundreds of thousands' turned out, and then they said "Meanwhile, McCain had his own visit at a battleground state today and we'll bring you some coverage of that". OH I can't wait to see Obama speech recap followed by McCain's stop at the German diner...LMAO!
  • Rob Mule · 1 year ago
    We'll have more reaction to Congressman Lincoln's Cooper-Union speech and Senator Douglas's triumphant tea with the Ladies League of Zanesville after this break...
  • kladinvt · 1 year ago
    Ja, wir können!
  • Sage24 · 1 year ago
    WOW, WOW, WOW. Obama's speech was fantastic. Every American should be proud that a Senator from the US made such a brilliant speech. What a contrast to our stammering, inarticulate, frat boy. There is hope for this country yet folks.
  • Jersey · 1 year ago
    I feel that McSame needs to just pack it in and go home already but I 'll at least say he's made me hungry for some picked herring and wienersnitzel. Columbus' German Village is a great place. Of course Berlin would be as well.
