13. Thanks, Frenchie -- that's where I'm at now, still no joy. Will have to catch it later, I guess. nt

[jenmito]

16. Which browser are you using? Firefox works. IE doesn't (from what I read in the comments). n/t

[quiet.american]

18. Ah -- that's it. I'm using IE, and don't have access to Firefox here. Will keep in mind next time.

[jefferson_dem]

17. It works in Firefox. IE not so much...for me.

[quiet.american]

19. Thanks, Jefferson_Dem. nt

[FrenchieCat]

8. He's listing all of "our" accomplishments......

and there are a lot of them!

Shame for those who say otherwise!

[jenmito]

10. Even when we list those things...

Obama doesn't get credit from some here. A few here had the nerve to say ANY Dem. president would've gotten these things done. :eyes:

[FrenchieCat]

12. Don't give up, push harder.....

We are here to solve problems!


Yes, we can, someone shouts!

[jenmito]

14. "We believe in you!" n/t

[quiet.american]

15. Please keep the tidbits coming for us cube rats -- thanks! nt

[FrenchieCat]

21. His story of the Obama supporter who died of Breast Cancer

certainly touched me.

We can't give up on health care.

[jenmito]

23. Me, too. She said she'd be buried in her Obama t-shirt. Keep fighting!

[HopeOverFear]

26. Man, that broke my heart.

[FrenchieCat]

22. Ooh Shit, he's fired up!

Now the crowd is fired up!

Yes We can, they shout!

Definetly Obama's amen choir is in da' house!

[jefferson_dem]

24. "I heard you the first time, sister. We're working for that too..."

:)

[DrToast]

25. He should do this more often. Keeping the youngsters engaged now is crucial for decades to come

[LeftyAndProud60]

27. These questions were chosen? I wanted people in the audience to ask them. NT

[jenmito]

We submitted questions online. n/t

[FrenchieCat]

28. This was an OFA gathering.......

it wasn't a test of any kind....although I didn't see all of it,
I know that this was a chance for Obama's strongest supporters
to hear a list of all that the Obama administration has done in the past year,
and to get them all fired up again and some more.


Sorry about whatever you are talking about. :shrug:

[centristgrandpa]

29. sometimes more is better...

i'm so glad our President is forcing the major issues up front and confronting those who are obstructing change (repub nation) and to those who are not helping but only watching carefully, kudos Mr. Obama, more is better and change can come to main street America. Keep fighting !

[impik]

30. Ohhh, not so subtle threat to Senate Dems...

[jenmito]

31. "Voters will make their voices heard one way or another"? Something like that. :)

[impik]

32. Yep. "If congress decide not to pass it, we've got election coming up and voters will

have their say".

[jenmito]

33. THAT was it. Thanks. n/t

[HopeOverFear]

35. Do you think that was Obama's way of conceding that HRC might not happen?

[jenmito]

36. I wondered and worried about that, but...

then I thought of how strongly he defended the progress already made saying he won't give up. I'm hoping he meant if it doesn't work, go with the House signing the Senate bill w/ reconciliation patch (and blame those who voted against it).

[Arkana]

37. I think he was telling Senate Democrats point-blank that if they don't pass

health care reform they're going to lose their jobs.

Reid will be looking for a new job anyway--I'm surprised he isn't trying harder to keep this alive.

[DFLforever]

40. Following his body language I didn't see a hint of concession

I heard him saying that if they don't step up to the plate, they'll lose the game in Nov. Not exactly a threat but an underscore of the obvious... Congress might like to avoid this challenge but they can't.

I think the Pres is looking a little more pugnacious these days.
Plouffe is definitely back.

[Botany]

34. I loves me some Obama

Damn is he good.

[Clio the Leo]

38. Cant wait to watch it later....

.... I THOUGHT I was going to be able to listen on the old WH Iphone Ap on the way home from work but I didn't realize it was an OFA thing and not a WH thing (hey OFA! Make me an iphone ap too!)

But it will be on their youtube channel soon .... I hope. :)
