Obama and Harkin live on CSpan 1 now

[malaise]

Looks like a very large crowd.

[Greeby]

1. Tuned in

:popcorn:

[pinto]

2. Thanks for the heads up.

:thumbsup:

[malaise]

Yep but you can see

the athletic side too - weight lifting. He could make a few young voters turn out :D Cudly teddybear type :D

Ouch -this was in response to Texas Explorer.

Edit -add

[Subdivisions]

3. That Chet Culver is one huge corn-fed...

Iowa farm boy. The turn-out is pretty good too.

Can't wait to hear Obama's comments.

[Pirate Smile]

4. I was just thinking that same thing.

[Subdivisions]

5. Heads up! Obama up next!

[malaise]

6. Watching n/t

[malaise]

8. Obama is a great speaker

He's giving the history of the progressive movement with this one example.

[Subdivisions]

7. "We're being run like a business. We have a bunch

of self-appointed leaders."

[Subdivisions]

9. Invoking great Democrats of the past including FDR

[Subdivisions]

10. Obama is waking the crowd up! Cheers and ovations! He's doing good!

Trashing * and the Repub controlled Congress

[A-Schwarzenegger]

11. Kick. Barack kickin ass.

[Subdivisions]

12. Referenced PNAC...sorta. Said we don't need people with

fantasies of a new Middle East. (paraphrasing)

[pinto]

13. I hope a transcript is available at some time. This is a great speech

from Sen. Obama on behalf of Sen. Harkin and a Democratic resurgence.

[malaise]

14. That was a great speech indeed

He covered all the bases.

[pinto]

36. Didn't he? I liked how he covered his "job" in this event - support

for the Iowa Democratic ticket - and carried the crowd to the big picture. Really well done.

[Subdivisions]

15. He's a rock star in Africa...and in Iowa!

[malaise]

16. Dems need to use speeches like these on big screens

at other campaigns.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

17. Still on. Barack workin the crowd. The man has got it.

[malaise]

18. I love the Iowa City 49 Group

The 49 who didn't vote for Bush in 04. CSpan is sure giving Obama and Harkin good coverage. This is great.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

19. First time I've seen him for any considerable period. Very impressed.

[malaise]

21. I watched his debut speech in 04

at the party conference. Haven't liked his middle of the road posturing in the Senate so far but it's early days.

Edit add.

[joanski0]

20. I liked how Obama said that the

Republicans were breaking up the government piece by piece and giving it to the rich. Small government, nobody to worry about, everybody takes care of themselves, no worry about helping others, no worry about who doesn't have insurance, etc.

Obama was great!

[joanski0]

23. Obama repeats at 6:30 p.m. EDT on

Road to the White House. C-Span.

[me b zola]

25. Thanks for the heads up

I missed his speech :hi:

[loyalsister]

22. I really want to see him on the ticket with the next pres nominee

Everyone says he is still too inexperienced, but he is so personally accessible.
He uses language that is totally universal and he comes across as "enlightened." Maybe it is his simultaneous local and global conscience.
I recognize that he has been politically pragmatic and it has seemed like a let down, but I think we should sweep him into higher office while he is young and idealistic!!

[malaise]

24. You know the nicest thing about watching this

is the way in which he is so well received in Iowa. America has come a long way in some respects.

[Subdivisions]

26. We have gotten better in that respect but we still have a long way to go.

[malaise]

29. Even Kenyans have shown up to see him

Guess they're quite proud of him too.
----------------

True but you have come a long way if you can only prevent Bush from turning all of this back.

[loyalsister]

30. I agree

It's amazing how many people are begging him to run for president!

[JanusAscending]

32. I SOOOOOOOOOO AGREE WITH YOU!!

Barack Obama just shines and MAKES ME SMILE !!! I grinned through the whole thing. It will be a brilliant Pres. Candidate that chooses him for VP, 'cause it will be a WINNING TICKET !! edited for spelling

[Subdivisions]

33. Hey, how about this ticket? -------->

Talk about change!

[me b zola]

27. Do you guys see what I see?

Is Obama the next BC?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

31. He's the next BO. Uh oh, what's his middle name?

[malaise]

34. Repeat starting now CSpan 1 n/t

[rhiannon55]

28. He just signed a woman's quilt piece

I love him! I would vote for him in 2008. We need a smart, energetic, compassionate diplomat in the WH, and Barak Obama is all these things.:patriot:

[A-Schwarzenegger]
