YES!! He is HITTING BACK.

[DangerousRhythm]

[renie408]

1. Oh boy!! Holy shit, he is taking them on HEAD ON!! I LOVE THIS MAN!!

[secondwind]

35. Where did you s ee this? When? I want to see/hear!!

[me b zola]

80. Obama speaking at a VA school, covered by msnbc

Look for the video to come out on youtube...it'll make you stand and cheer! :thumbsup:

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

2. Who? What? How?......nt

[renie408]

3. Obama live on CNN n/t

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

7. Could I trouble you for a quick update? n/t

[Ilsa]

25. He said enough of the swlftboat politics! Enough of wasting our time

on typical politics that Americans are sick of! We need to talk about serious issues!

No apology. He presented his comments, and then said So the McCain camp assumed I was calling Sarah Palin a pig! Big laughs!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

34. THX n/t

[calico1]

36. Oh thank God.

I thought he was going to apologize to her!

[Ilsa]

41. He sort of led them along and even I wondered! Thank goodness there was no apology! nt

[Fla Dem]

57. McCain/Palin STFU. Girly you're playing with the big guys

now. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Stop the f'king whinning.

[Ilsa]

90. LOL. I need to go reapply my lipstick. nt

[me b zola]

86. I noticed yesterday Obama using the word 'serious' numerous times

He is making a clear demarcation of which is the serious candidate that is fit for the job of president, and the other who is playing schoolyard/frat boy stunts and isclearly not fit to lead tis nation.

[Ilsa]

89. It is a fantastic response in general, using that term. Brilliant. nt

[renie408]

29. He spent the first 2-3 minutes addressing the 'lipstick' comment

He called it a made up controversy and said that since McCain can't talk about issues, he wants to waste two days of the last 55 days of the campaign talking about this stupid stuff.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

38. THX. n/t

[chill_wind]

93. Which is the exact truth. Hope he keeps making that point over and over, too.

[Blackhatjack]

4. Tell it like it is!! Pointing out the Media's role in promoting this... n/t

[alsame]

70. Yes, that had to be done. He said this kind of fake story is

like catnip for the media, they all had it as the lead story this morning even though we have 2 wars going on, an economic crisis and an energy crisis. I'm glad he called them out!

[Alter Ego]

5. He's not apologizing, is he?

He did nothing wrong.

[alcibiades_mystery]

9. Hell NO: ENOUGH!!!!

:rofl:

[DangerousRhythm]

11. HELL NO he is not. "ENOUGH!"

YESSSS

[gblady]

18. not in the least...

"enough is enough"...
diversions are wasting precious time in the election cycle.

[gblady]

28. spare me

your phoney outrages...

Americans have real problems that deserve real answers.

[nc4bo]

13. ENOUGH!!!!! Enough is ENOUGH! GOBAMA! nt

[Ilsa]

14. He was perfect! No damn apology, just point out how McCain

is trying to re-direct the conversation off the real issues! "Enough!" Obama just said. Enough of the swiftboat politics! HE's calling them out!

[Sugarcoated]

15. YES

Go Bama!!! ENOUGH!!!!

[DrDan]

16. trying to get back to the issues - absolutely the right strategy

no mud-slinging, no personal attacks

just back to the issues

[tallahasseedem]

19. PERFECT RESPONSE!!!

I love this man...totally turning it around!!!

[secondwind]

20. Please explain! Where did you see this?

24. Please explain! Where did you see this?

[gblady]

47. he's in Norvolk, VA

speaking to teachers about education...
streaming live on his website...
first addressed the pig stuff...
now giving a speech on education.

[MsLeopard]

50. Read the thread

It was on CNN.....

[DangerousRhythm]

26. "So, SPARE ME the outrage."

YESSS!!

[onefreespiritedchick]

27. He sure is!

Go get them Obama! :)

[bunnies]

30. "Spare me the phony outrage"

"Spare me the phony talk about change"

WOOT! He rocks!

[mscuedawg]

43. AMEN!!!! THAT there is a leader, "my friends"!!!!!!!!

[bunnies]

65. Damn right! He was PERFECT!

Made me proud. :loveya:

[slackmaster]

31. Eh?

Who is hitting back at what how where?

[alcibiades_mystery]

42. Obama speaking in Norfolk

laughs about the stupid GOP response to "lipstick on a pig," calls it a stupid distraction,and tells the GOP to "spare me the phony outrage."

perfect set up: and the dumbfuck Mccain camp fell right in to it.

:rofl:

[slackmaster]

67. Thanks

Gottagonowbye.

[bdamomma]

32. hit them hard, and we need to do it too.

let us kick these phoney religious extremists to the curb please.

check here:

http://origin.barackobama.com/live/

[blm]

60. Backing Obama up when he counterattacks is crucial. All Dems need to hit back with him and for him.

No more standing aside and expecting a nominee to do it all on their own. Today's corporate media complicity with the RW will not allow that luxury.

[chill_wind]

91. Agree! Can't be emphasized enough.

[workinclasszero]

40. WHO HOO! GOBAMA!!

Kick the lyin fascists to the curb O!!!!:woohoo:

[Sugarcoated]

44. Smacked them the FUCK DOWN

and with class!

[alcibiades_mystery]

46. That was a classic smackdown

You think Obama isn't a fighter?

Hilarious how the GOP shit the bed on this one. :rofl:

[Ilsa]

45. Rec #5! Off ya go! Awesome thread! wooohooo! GOBAMA! nt

[Demi_Babe]

48. PERFECT

[DangerousRhythm]

49. I am THRILLED right now.

Like I said in another thread, he just took McCain by the neck in one hand, Palin in the other and KNOCKED their empty heads together.

CRACK!

[tallahasseedem]

61. Isn't it great?

He is hitting back better than ever!

[DangerousRhythm]

77. It was BRILLIANT.

I am still grinning widely. :D

[gblady]

63. thanks for the great visual....

CRACK indeed!
'twas a beautiful thing to hear!

[DangerousRhythm]

79. Oh, it sure was!

:rofl:

I am SO excited now, haha. This was just PERFECT. :woohoo:

I will definitely be donating today. That was WELL worth it!

[SurfingAtWork]

51. Enough is enough!

I've had it! With these motherfuckin snakes in this motherfuckin media!

(Snakes on a plane reference. If you haven't seen it, the above won't make any sense)

[DangerousRhythm]

82. Haha!

Now THERE'S a visual. :rofl:

[DangerousRhythm]

52. And he's not done yet! "I don't think he gets it."

Smacking down McCain on education.

[cindyw]

53. Notice how MSNBC does not want to cut away!! He shamed someone in the control room

about not covering issues!! Ha

[NikolaC]

54. That's Great News!

:kick:

[tomnjoy]

55. Absolutely PERFECT!!

That's our Obama! Just another example of why this man inspires me.

GOBAMA!!!

:woohoo:

[HeeBGBz]

56. He IS good

He is so much more presidential than McPhoney.

[EnviroBat]

58. This man is already the President!

He makes me proud. He's talking about education right now. He's discussing the issues, unlike the vapid McLame campaign, which is discussing lipstick and pigs, and shit.

[vanderBeth]

59. Wow

:woohoo:

[pdxmom]

64. MSNBC and CNN both are continuing to carry the meat of his message. They

could have easily cut him off after his response, but they are allowing the viewers to actually hear his education policy, which I personally really like and agree with. Let's see McCain respond to THAT, because he has no education policy, outside of vouchers.

[Sugarcoated]

66. Backfiring on them

Kewl as shit

[DangerousRhythm]

69. It's absolutely beautiful. I am BEAMING right now.

He's a fighter and he knows how to play this game. McCain got HUMILIATED on national TV today.

[alcibiades_mystery]

I was literally cheering here in my office

:-)

[DangerousRhythm]

72. I'm sitting here in bed with my laptop, yelling happily at my TV for once.

Cat at my feet, looking at me like I'm insane. :rofl:

Chyron just now... "OBAMA: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"

[lukasahero]

83. THAT'S what I wanted to hear

It's one thing for him to hit back, it's another for it to gain traction in the M$M. Now let's just hope it's gets the same amount of air play throughout the day on non-cable stations as well.

[nc4bo]

68. I noticed he's linking urban and rural education together here. Good! nt

[DangerousRhythm]

71. They waited longer than I expected to cut him off.

VERY nice! I wonder what McShame could possibly have his "pitbull" say today that could outclass Obama. Oh, I know... NOTHING. ZILCH, ZERO.

[Teaser]

85. She'll give her convention speech. Again

must have that thing memorized by now.

[Undercurrent]

73. .

ENOUGH!

[DangerousRhythm]

74. YEAH!!

:woohoo: :toast: :patriot:

[lamp_shade]

75. BEST PART???? He REPEATED the "lipstick on a pig" thingie. n/t

[BattyDem]

76. This is what I love about him!

He doesn't ignore the "outrage" or avoid the "controversy" - he addresses it HEAD ON and NAILS them! :woohoo:

[Curtland1015]

78. So THIS is what it feels like when one of our guys fights back!

It feels so new to me!

But SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!

[liberalpragmatist]

81. Did he respond to the "sex" ad?

I worry that this "sex ed for kindergarteners" thing needs to be directly addressed and called out by Obama himself.

[DangerousRhythm]

87. He was at a high school... not sure that would have been the best place to do it.

He did very well today... VERY well. :D

[terrya]

88. I agree. And Obama WILL respond to that ad.

It's offensive in every single way possible. I can't imagine him letting that obscenity pass unanswered.

[kestrel91316]

84. KTLA in Los Angeles covered the "lipstick on a pig" flap and

when they carefully edited out the comments leading up to the quote, the VIEWERS CALLED THEM OUT in email comments!!!!!! And they immediately apologized on the air. They were forced to acknowledge that the remark had NOTHING to do with Palin, but rather the failed RW policies McCain wants to continue!!!!!!

Made them look like idiots and deliberate RW shills. I think the newscasters were embarrassed at what they were told to say by the people who wrote the story. The writing was very slanted.

[chill_wind]

92. Wow! Good! Very interesting. My gratitude to those viewers.
