Obama Just Choked Himself Up While Speaking About The Soldier Killed In Iraq

[Hissyspit]

A mother gave him a bracelet with his son's name and the inscription "All Gave Some, He Gave All."

It was very subtle, but you could see his eyes go red, too. It was genuine because I started to tear up at the exact same time. And he tried to get past it quickly.

[PretzelWarrior]

1. wow. Obama had his crying moment!!!

sorry, I just think we can expect that line of attack in about 5 seconds.

[Hissyspit]

8. Actually, I'd like to think it was about the soldier.

Stupid me.

[PretzelWarrior]

9. it is about the soldier. and I'm sure I'll be moved by it

when they show it later. not at TV now.

[JVS]

50. Notice: after major vote of the people, about someone's death and not how hard campaigning is

[libertee]

2. I hope he's not crying...you know what the say!

[stellanoir]

* cried during his first "ignore your nation" and nobody made a big deal out of it.

5. * cried during his first "ignore your nation" and nobody made a big deal out of it.

[gerrilea]

3. Oh...but you all were bashing HRC for showing emotions...

For shame...

[TheDoorbellRang]

13. Not all of us

I watched her so-called "crying" moment and said at the time the M$M was full of BS -- and I'm an Obama supporter.

[provis99]

14. Clinton cried for herself. Obama cried for a dead kid

I hope you are reasonable enough to see the difference.

[rodeodance]

20. and you are sick for saying that. you should be ASHAMED of yourself.

[gerrilea]

30. Double standards drive me crazy...do as I say not as I do...again Shame on all of you!

[rodeodance]

33. do not include me in your - all. I have NOT and will NOT demean Obama for having his moment.

[gerrilea]

35. I don't deny either one...but the double standards around here are destroying all of us!

[gerrilea]

29. No...she cried for her faith and belief in the future of our Country

[polpilot]

39. I'll bet she's crying tonight & Bill's crying too!

[Hissyspit]

19. Just for the goddamned record, all of you, I never bashed Hillary Clinton for crying.

I thought this was a moving moment about the tragedy in Iraq. The rules say I had to post it in GD-P, unfortunately.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. I got it Hissy

:hi:

Thanks for the reminder.

[Hissyspit]

28. I can't wait until June gets here. n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. Yeah I hear ya

The only thing that keeps me from going crazy in GD-P is seeing that so many of the nastiest posters are relatively new to DU. Which means they will likely be gone once we have a nominee.

There's a great Frontline on about Haditha. I'm watching it now. Sure puts all this DU crap in the right perspective.

[Hissyspit]

40. Yeah, I posted a preview of it last Thursday. It got zero recommendations and zero responses.

[mckeown1128]

21. He was choked up while thinking about a fallen soldier.

Clinton was choked up while talking about how "hard it is running for president."

There is a BIG difference in the two situations.

[gerrilea]

32. I saw the clip and she cried due to her strong faith in our Country

and it's future...

[Cha]

43. hilary was emoting about herself and then

all steely eyed the next second..hilary's just a lousy actor.

[tammywammy]

51. I've never bashed Hillary for showing emotion

Thankyouverymuch.

[high density]

4. Obama is weak and a cry baby!!

TO THE PRESSES!

[Barack_America]

6. Doubt we'd see McCain do that.

Just sayin. He wouldn't be able to make that "100 year" pledge if he felt that way.

[Hoof Hearted]

7. That calculating bastard. Yeah, like those were real tears!

Poor little Obama. He must be tired. Maybe he's on his period.

[mihalevich]

23. Let me remind you that he is a

Democrat and we are the democratic underground.

[Hoof Hearted]

48. Screw you. It's not your house, your ball, or your yard.

After 200,000 posts and cracks about Hillary showing an emotion I make no apologies WHATSOEVER.

[MichiganVote]

10. Maybe he shouldn't have voted to "support the troops". Gag me.

[rurallib]

11. HRC will say Obama plagiarized her crying moment.

Can't wait til we go after McCain and stop this petty shit.

[jackson_dem]

12. Obama does it: he's so lovably human! Hill does it: evil plot!

[rodeodance]

16. sick people here on DU

[Alexander]

18. Yep. You're one of them.

[rodeodance]

24. i was referring to DU folks who have demeand Hillary for a crying or whatever you want to

call it.

those people make me sick

[Alexander]

17. At least Obama tears up about a dead soldier and not his own campaign.

Sounds like you need one of these.

[gerrilea]

38. Maybe you should watch the clip again...you missed something

[gerrilea]

36. MY ABSOLUTE POINT!

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Does anyone around here now understand!

[DUyellow]

45. you see, the next words out of his mouth were not a shot at clinton... she went on.....

"But some of us are right and some of us are wrong. Some of us ready and some of us are not. Some of us know what we will do on day one, and some of us really haven't thought that through enough."

That is the difference.

[kurth]

52. The True One and Only COMPASSIONATE Whatever

[spanone]

15. this is a great speech

[jasmine621]

22. And he just used another one of HRC's lines.

Healthcare at least as good as the one I have. I think I heard this from HRC last year.

[Drunken Irishman]

25. Except Kerry used that line in 2004.

[jackson_dem]

34. Who?

[Abacus]

44. Heh. Kerry said that in nearly every one of his '04 speeches. /nt

[Maximus Invictus]

27. Great Speech?

Same old shit!

10000000 billion times: change, change, change, change.

I hope he don´t start crying if he is the nominee. McCain will eat him alive.

How i miss Edwards... Damm!!!


From Europe With Love...

[Straight Shooter]

31. I guess McCain will have to one-up him and tear up about his years as a POW.

And how proud he is now of our troops fighting for freedom in Iraq and et cetera.

Looks like the troops are going to be a prop again, one way or the other, sincerely or not.

[Benhurst]

41. Good. Maybe he'll stop funding the war.

When are our "leaders" going to stop enabling Bush and the Neo-cons?

[BlackVelvet04]

42. Oh, he cried......

what a tactic.

[ShortnFiery]

46. It was a genuine moment and I felt it very sincere and spontaneous show of empathy.

Obama is empathetic toward those who have lost their children in this senseless war.

Go Obama! :patriot:

[Hoof Hearted]

49. Of course you do.

[RestoreGore]

47. So why is it said he will up the military budget?

Why has he made no pledge to not get us into another war? Saying you will "end this war" is not the same.
