2. he ought to wait for the monkey to finish speechifying.

so it'll be covered.

[Adelante]

3. Yeah, that's who I have on CNNI - ugh nt

[NYC_SKP]

9. A brilliant ploy by Obama...

I don't know when I've seen Bush take questions over such a long period of time...

...is Bush waiting for Barack to begin?

...Barack waiting for Bush to end?

Brilliant!

:popcorn:

[nc4bo]

5. i agree and may be he is.........;) i don't see O at the podium yet, nt

[NYC_SKP]

7. Is Bush funking on Obama's speech?

When was the last time Bush took so many questions over such a span of time?

Is he expecting to take the media attention away from Obama's full Iraq speech?

If so, I hope he's got a lot of materials, because it looks like Obama hasn't even begun.

It would be hilarious is BO is waiting for Bush to end--and Bush stretching this thing on waiting for Barack to start.

Brilliant.

[nc4bo]

21. Damn, Obama is on point and going straight for the jugular. nt

ed.for sp.

[uponit7771]

22. GoBAMA, .......Punch the media and McSame in the nose....

[uponit7771]

24. good, take the reign on this before ....set the mark befoe McSame tries to establish one

[babylonsister]

25. He's got my vote; he's not budging, and he shouldn't! What a stark difference

from McSame.

[jenmito]

26. But he FLIP-FLOPPED on Iraq! McCain and the MSM SAID so! He's moving towards McCain's

position! McCain and the MSM SAID so! :eyes: I wonder if they'll claim his talk about Afghanistan is "part of his shift to the center" as a journalist actually said yesterday.

[nc4bo]

27. M$M is so full of bull$hit it's a sham and a shame.

:eyes: is spot on.

[jenmito]

29. Exactly. But they keep repeating the line, "Any day the focus is on the 'war on terror' or Iraq is

a good day for McCain."

[babylonsister]

32. I posted this this a.m. - it's bookmarkable for future reference, and

we're gonna need it! ;)

[jenmito]

37. Thanks. I will bookmark it since it's bookmarkable.

:hi:

[timetoleave]

30. This speech has helped me understand

I was upset by news accounts of his positions, but this speech lays it out clearly, so this old liberal is now ready to vote for him

[jenmito]

39. I'm glad you got to hear it from HIM instead of listening to the MSM twist his words and lying about

his positions. I'm glad you're ready to vote for him.

[ellacott]

28. Can't watch at work, this is very frustrating

I'm glad he's doing good. Thanks for the recaps. :)

[World Citizen]

31. anyone know why he...

keeps looking left and right but not center?

[Phoonzang]

33. They put the teleprompters to the right and left I think.

n/t

[babylonsister]

34. I'm sure he's reading a teleprompter-successfully, I might add. nt

[nc4bo]

38. I'd like to see one dead center too - right straight at the camera. just me though. nt

[jenmito]

41. Maybe it doesn't work. n/t

[NattPang]

35. He didn't memorize this speech.

He must have been too busy.

[muryan]

36. It gives the appearance that hes talking to the audience

Whether he is, or they have three prompters up is something I wish I knew. Great speech though

[Skwmom]

40. I encourage everyone to watch this speech. He is hitting it out of the park!

[World Citizen]

42. well crafted and well delivered

[babylonsister]

43. Next up, McSame. Tough act to follow! nt

[Kittycat]

46. Why Bush would go on before, and McSame after is beyond me. Obama

Was right on it - excellent!

[Baclava]

48. Out of Iraq by 2010....

"I will give our military a new mission on my first day in office: ending this war. Let me be clear: we must be as careful getting out of Iraq as we were careless getting in. We can safely redeploy our combat brigades at a pace that would remove them in 16 months. That would be the summer of 2010 – one year after Iraqi Security Forces will be prepared to stand up; two years from now, and more than seven years after the war began. After this redeployment, we’ll keep a residual force to perform specific missions in Iraq: targeting any remnants of al Qaeda; protecting our service members and diplomats; and training and supporting Iraq’s Security Forces, so long as the Iraqis make political progress."

"I will send at least two additional combat brigades to Afghanistan, and use this commitment to seek greater contributions – with fewer restrictions – from NATO allies."

"Make no mistake: we can't succeed in Afghanistan or secure our homeland unless we change our Pakistan policy. We must expect more of the Pakistani government, but we must offer more than a blank check to a General who has lost the confidence of his people. It's time to strengthen stability by standing up for the aspirations of the Pakistani people. That's why I'm cosponsoring a bill with Joe Biden and Dick Lugar to triple non-military aid to the Pakistani people and to sustain it for a decade."
