It's funny because it's true.

that's pretty damn cool.

Yes finally!!  We need more. Please give us more, Barack. Sean Hannity, Bill O'Rielly, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Rove, et. al. these guys are all nuts. They make up crap constantly. They disregard facts, expert information, history, math, science, reality...you get the point. They're the idiots who've caused so much divisiveness in this country. And yes, they do take pride in being ignorant. Ignorance = conservatism.

He'll be accused of being "angry" and "arrogant" for calling people ignorant.

I love it, this is going to be a sad election for McCain.  Can you imagine how the debates are going to be?  

Love it!

So true...I'm glad he's starting to hit at them hard, and point out how stupid they sound :-)

Did you see? He touched his ear... must have been giving McCain the finger.

I've been waiting for him to turn that around - make fun of John McCain for "running ads about Paris Hilton and Britney Spears".

You can flog this all the way to November.  At a debate: "I understand my opponent was upset to learn that there would be no questions about Paris Hilton and Britney Spears".  In an ad "Barack Obama has a 500 billion dollar plan to get Americans back to work.  John McCain... wants to talk about Paris Hilton".  etc.

people who were concerned he wasn't hitting hard enough will now complain he he is hitting too hard.

I'm going to be concerned (n/t) just as soon as I can wipe this shit eating grin off my face.

GOBAMA !!

His great asset as a campaigner is that he can skewer an opponent with laughter, a genuine smile on his face.

Here's a scene I'd like to see at his speech at Mile High (or whatever corporate name is now on the Bronco stadium). Barack wants to raise the Social Security tax on people making over $250k annually which, I assume, means over $500k a couple. What percentage of folks make that much money? One percent? Two percent? Let's assume two percent for the sake of argument. Assuming the stadium of 75k is filled, he says something like, "You want to see how may people will see a tax hike in my administration? OK -- will all the folks in Sections A3 and A4 please stand up" [meaning 1500 out of the total]. Barack then makes some joke about them being the unfortunate ones. He then says, "Now, will everyone else in the stadium please stand up, because not only will these folks not see a tax hike, most of them will receive a $1k tax credit!" And then Barack launches into one of those remarkable cadences that only he can do, similar to the one at the end of the video above. It would make for great theater.  

Yeah that was cool... I've fallen in love with Cnn Live and I pretty much watched every speech and town hall meeting he has given over the past month or so and this is the hardest he has hit McCain and the GOP.

I thought it was pretty good and a good laugh too!

I want more...!!!

What do you think of Redstate's blogger friends doing math refuting Obama?  Do we have those experts lined up to back this up?  I'd like to see this meme end with Obama solidly on top.

What I like about this is that it tempts McCain to try to be funny. . . and he's really, really not good at canned funny.  It comes out manic and angry and forced.

And then there's that smile of McCain's, which is also manic, angry, and forced.

John McCain, of all people, should not be attacking Social Security.

It's almost as if Barney Frank turned black and straight.

I love it.

This was pretty damn good.

I'd like to hear him talk like that every day.

The sad fact is that while those of us who follow politics closely ground every detail about Obama into dust over the last six months or so the great mass of Americans only know that he is the black guy who is running for president.

The country needs to meet and become acquainted with the Senator Obama in this video.

I said yesterday that Obama has a real opportunity to flip this around on McCain.  

Obama should follow-up his good energy ad from yesterday with one slamming McCain for making fun of tire pressure showing the Time article, the NASCAR site and the comments from Arnold and Charlie Crist encouraging people to inflate their tires.  The announcer could then say while John McCain's energy plan is to make fun of real solutions that could save YOU money, Barack Obama has a plan that has $1,000 energy tax credit, etc, etc.

This is a real opening for Obama and I hope his campaign takes it.

This was really good. Nothing else to say other than this Obama needs to show up through 2016 because this one would lead the country in a new direction. The post partisan only goes so far.

I also like how the fact that they're lying is a throwaway line - like "two things, well first of all they know they're lying, but second _" and then he goes on for two minutes.
