Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama closed his 30-minute speech at the University of Nevada, Reno today by telling several thousand people that sacrifice will be required of all Americans to weather the nation's economic crisis.
Obama said that at the end of the day, there is no separation between Wall Street and Main Street; there's the road "we're all traveling on as Americans."
But he closed on an optimistic note, saying, "We have all been through tougher times before."

Sickening.
Look who’s talking about “sacrifice.” The big money maggot who never sacrificed for anything in his life. What a Marxist pig.
“We have all been through tougher times before.”
Yeah, I’m sure those affirmative action forms were real bears to fill out.
Is this his Jimmy Carter moment?
telling several thousand people that sacrifice will be required of all AmericansWell all but the ones benefiting from the bailout.
Some are more equal than others.
Please, someone YouTube it and used it in a campaign commercial.
Does Tony Rezko own CDOs?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t he just say a tax increase on the middle class? John McCain to the white courtesy phone...
OTOH I have been telling the missus that someone has to make a “blood, tears, and sweat” speech soon to wean the American people off consumerism.
Okay, then, Spanky...get up on that altar.
Gee, that $1000 tax break he promises us will save us. /sarc
“Barack Obama will require you to work....” - Wifey Obama
Now it’s a $1000 tax incentive that we all get to pay (plus, oh, another $10k each I’m sure) to realize the longterm gains we as taxpayers will be certain to receive from the sale of the toxic loans by the federal government to the free market who will be begging to pay the feds a preimium on these loans as the revenue streams flow in like floodwaters from on time mortgage payers over the next 20 years. Duh, where have you been!!
Please note my ticked off sarcasm...
“Is this his Jimmy Carter moment?”
Here is Carter’s speech:
“It will demand that we make sacrifices and changes in our lives. To some degree, the sacrifices will be painful —but so is any meaningful sacrifice. It will lead to some higher costs, and to some greater inconveniences for everyone.
But the sacrifices will be gradual, realistic and necessary. Above all, they will be fair.”

What Obama is really saying is, US citizens will pick up the tab for his corporate campaign donors
....where do I sign to get my free house?
Good catch.
Are there any Democrat presidential candidates who aren't congenital liars.
I’m sure he’ll be living high on the hog. After all he is “special”.
