Please, watch this! It is what made me believe that Barack would win the presidency!

[FrenchieCat]

This was back from the primaries. It is the infamous "Reagan" interview. Most people didn't listen to the entire interview back then because of the "Reagan" controvery that it sparked....but folks should have. I did, and was convinced at that time that Barack would end up winning the election.

This interview provides insight on how Barack Obama plans to govern. In particular, start listening at 10:20, if you don't want to watch the whole thing.....although it is a fascinating interview in its entirety, and note the strong consistency in Barack's ideas.

Please watch and listen closely to the future President, and enjoy his description of the Change that is coming; the Change we can believe in...and welcome to 21st century government and an intelligent, insightful, pragmatic leader who will make government cool again.

1. Oh, thank you for finding this

Too tired to watch tonight but will tomorrow. The qualities that have always impressed me the most about Obama are his consistency and the way he manages to assimilate so much data that he is prepared to give a reasonable answer to any question tossed his way.

[FrenchieCat]

2. Oh yeah....you'll love it. It is Barack unplugged.

3. If you don't have the time, bookmark it and check it out as soon

as you have a bit of time. You will be glad you did.

4. I love hearing him talk, because it is so obvious that he puts a lot of thought

into what he is saying. He's not merely spouting off talking points like many politicians. He THINKS. How amazing it will be to finally have a thinking man in the White House again!

[FrenchieCat]

5. Isn't it something? Finally, someone in the White House smarter than us.

That's the way it really should be. 300 million Americans here; got to pick the smartest one!

6. Obama interview

What a contrast between this and the Orlando Biden interview.

7. Man, this is great FrenchieCat!

I've only watched 10 minutes so far and I am enthralled. You just get the feeling he relishes buckling down and solving problems.

[NoSheep]

8. This is wonderful. I will forward the link to everyone I know.

He is truly amazing. As are you! I enjoy what you share with us so much. Thank you.

[FrenchieCat]

9. Awe, thanks!

:blush:

[LunaSea]

11. Thanks Frenchie!

Bookmarking so I can watch this with Mr. Feb who is really delving into the videos lately. K&R.

[One Taste]

12. thank you

will forward! watching now

[Shanti Mama]

13. It won't load properly for me.

Darn. Any idea where else I might find it?

[1corona4u]

14. I'd love to watch it, but I have my volume, all the way up....which is usually

very loud, and I can barely hear it....is there another source that you know of?

[FrenchieCat]

15. I looked and couldn't find one! Not of the whole thing!

:(

16. This is the guy who doesn't give details, who has no substance,

evades difficult questions and can't be trusted.

So they tell me, anyway...

(just in case - :sarcasm: )

No. This is the guy who can sit for close to an hour and speak extemporaneously on a range of topics without resorting to simple repetition of talking points. This is the guy who knows he doesn't have all the answers, but believes there are answers out there to be had.

This is the next President of the United States of America, and the man who may become one of the finest leaders we've ever been privleged to have in the White House.

(and, just in case, -1 X :sarcasm: )

17. I did indeed bookmark it. Thank you. I listened for a couple of minutes at

the 10 minute mark, and I'm looking forward to all of it eventually!

18. Excellent

The man is obviously a class act, and a brilliant mind. Good find. TY
