That’s Obama’s secret weapon. It’s The Mother of All Teleprompters.

He could be blind as a blubbering bat in a snowstorm and still be able to read that huge twin screened thing.

[BrianE]

The Honorable Luis V. Gutierrez? is he or others even honorable? this dude does not speak good english and is a very anti-2nd amendment Shitcago politician, as a matter of fact i don’t even think he was born here.

These speakers remind me of the John sKerry convention, i think every speaker was anti-2nd amendment....some scary shit gang.

[BrianE]

tee hee, yep he’s sure made that giant ugly thing famous.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Pray the teleprompters go on the Fritz mondale tonight for Obongo’s speech. Right smack in midstream. And knock him off his cadence, leaving him stammering in a huge sea of “uhhhs” and “ahhs” and “ummms”, loosening his eye, searching his notes to find his place. Now wouldn’t THAT be something to write home about!! :-) (I can dream can’t I? Yes, we CAN)

Do we know if 1.1 million auto worker jobs were actually saved; and, if so how many were actually LOST?

There’s the plant in Janesville, Delphi, all of the auto dealerships that were forced to close, and GM moving some of it’s manufacturing to China that I’m aware. I recall reading that some parts stores and/or manufacturers also closed, but don’t recall any specifics.

[YepYep]

I just KNEW we would have a good thread on this.

FreeRepublic acts as a factchecking heartchecking release valve on the ol’ ticker.

Remembering some really good times on this wonderful site. (Thanks to all who contributed this last quarter!)

[Seattle Conservative]

Thanks! I hadn’t seen anything about that.

Did a search on bing.com and found the following article from March 2012 about Sandra’s boyfriend (looks like he could have well afforded $9/mo for bc:

Update #2: Sandra Fluke’s Boyfriend, Adam “Cutie Pants” Mutterperl, And His Radical Socialist Family

Recently, it was reported that Sandra Fluke is connected to none other than 1%’er, William (Bill) Mutterperl, through her boyfriend. However, it wasn’t reported who her boyfriend is. Everyone, meet Sandra’s boyfriend, wannabe producer, and amateur stand-up comic, Adam “Cutie Pants” Mutterperl, in this video audition he submitted to a “reality” show:

>snip

Because anyone familiar with Boston and New York political history knows about the wealthy Mutterperl family’s long tradition of supporting the traditional Jewish variant of socialism. Bill Mutterperl’s family are much more than Democratic stalwarts.

Why would Bubba get special treatment??

Hopefully so it will be easier for the RNC et al to use the footage for commericials.

[Seattle Conservative]

Sorry, need more coffee - as I hit post I realized I forgot to add a link to the full story I referred to in my post above. Here it is:

[ROCKLOBSTER]

You didn’t build those.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

GMO = genetically modified organisms. We are one of a few developed countries that allows GM foods. The majority of US corn and some other crops are GM Roundup Ready unless they are labeled organic.

Isn't that what George Washington Carver was all about? Pioneering the perfection of peanut genetics to benefit blacks?

Now liberals consider peanuts poison.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I’m an Afrikaner on my mother’s side. I’m a Jew on my father’s side. I’m an American male who was born in the Good Ol’ US of A.

Do you ever tell liberals that you're an African-American?

[Jedidah]

snark, I’m old. I don’t know about you, but I’ve watched Clinton’s machinations since he had red hair. I don’t need anyone to tell me that he’s a great politician, because I’ve seen it myself. He’s a most convincing liar.

FWIW, I thought he was boring Wednesday night. Not sure he helped Barry0 at all, which may have been his intention all along.

[Absolutely Nobama]

They sputter with rage and hatred when I do, especially when I point out that Nelson Mandela's African National Congress was designated a terrorist group by the State Department for decades. Then I'm promptly told that Afrikaners aren't real Africans, despite the fact they've been in South Africa since 1652. After that, I'm usually told the Afrikaners are "imperialist Europeans" and they should leave, and my usual reply they'll leave when the Arabs leave north Africa. As the finishing blow, I then remind the lib bigot that whites have been living on the African continent for thousands of years. (The Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Vandals, the Iberians, etc.)

Growing up, my parents (who were lefties to the bone) used to tell me to keep this part of my heritage under my hat. No more. Like Popeye used to say, "I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam."

LOVE that graphic in #969, John W!

Of course Ronald Reagan was able to do it... :-)

[BrianE]

sheesh! look at the bottom of Klintoon’s nose! his speech bragging about how good things were under his watch....i wonder how the bamster feels now?

Why does 0 need the clown speakers when he can wave his hand & create magic...what a joke, all of them!
