[Pinocchio Liberal 268]

"The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment -- this was the time -- when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals. Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America."

My own limitations- Not qualified?

Limitless faith- "Hoping" for the best? Theres a leader for ya!

Willing to work for it- Hold on to your wallets!

Absolutely certain that generations from now we will be able to look back and tell our children?- Please explain to me how generations from now I will be talking to anyone?

Even the sweetest perfume cant cover the smell of that garbage! Some will just hold their noses Im sure.

I doubt he will be able to come up with a universal healthplan if he ever makes it to the White House and it will be impossible to give jobs to everyone who doesn't have one. But it was a time of inspiration so again... whatever.

All the other ####### pretty much means "I'm the best thing that's ever happened to you, my ego is as big as Paris Hilton's stupidity, I'm on cloud 9 as I read this and so should you 'cause you know that it's all about me and not so much about you right now... blah, blah, blah, blah..." (yawn)

There are those who say that this primary has somehow left us weaker and more divided. Well I say that because of this primary, there are millions of Americans who have cast their ballot for the very first time. There are Independents and Republicans who understand that this election isn't just about the party in charge of Washington, it's about the need to change Washington.Ê There are young people, and African-Americans, and Latinos, and women of all ages who have voted in numbers that have broken records and inspired a nation.

He has divided us up into different groups quite nicely! Only he left some out.

Its just rhetoric. There's hardly anything scandalous in there.

[Marilyn. 340]

that just seems like a typical speech a political person would make...

He probably did. Given that he was giving a nod to the biggest demographics that supported his campaign, lumping everyone and their mother in there would be kinda meaningless.

I mean, he could have said:

Doesn't really have the same ring to it.

It's not change when John McCain decided to stand with George Bush ninety-five percent of the time, as he did in the Senate last year.

Excuse me sir, but didnt you stand with with rev. wright for 20 years?

Nah, he only cares about minorities. He has very few white men followers. Or white women, actually. Or blue collar.
