Invesco Field Open Thread

How’s it going out there?
UPDATE: Am I seeing things, or are those lines behind him suggestive of the Christian cross? Remember the Mike Huckabee commercial that used the same trick?
Watching on MSNBO… Ugh…
Glutton for punishment?
yuck
watching Manning finally!
lots of firefox trouble tonight (gee I wonder if they are political)
Turn off MSNBO right now. I went to FOX News to watch it online.
I had better things to do. Cleaned my toilets and took the dog out to pee. Heard one neighbor vacuuming out their car and the other neighbor who’s tv I saw over the fence had on Nickelodeon. Guess we’re not Obama country here.
We have on Nickelodeon, too! It’s an awesome SpongeBob festival…do you think they might get more viewers than The one’s Speech? At least SpongeBob is intentionally funny.
During The One’s speech, on the other channel I watched a Homer Simpson cartoon all the way through for the first time. It looked, for the minute before I changed BO’s channel (Ohhhh, that’s the change he was talking about …) that he was using three tele-prompters instead of the usual two. Hillary appeared to be speaking from memory during her speech.
Seeing 75,000 in Invesco Field, I don’t think there was anything close to 200,000 in Berlin.
The idea of Al Gore warming up an audience is like getting a pep talk from a nun before a date.
ROFL Kat.
In honor of the occasion, I’ve got my god-like name on.
Ooh good Idea!
your nic! ROFL
Oh, this will be fun! LOL
Behold My Children, The Messiah Commeth to speak the Word of GAWD from the BARACKOPOLIS!!
Red Sea Parting Imminent!!!
Bros Before Hos-sannah!
Too funny… Crack me up…
I’ve got a jug of Poland Spring water here. I am hoping it turns into Pinot Noir when He speaks.
roflmao!
You are TOO funny. That made me really laugh!!! Thanks for that!
Uppity,
Good luck with that!
You better hope it doesn’t turn to vinegar.
And I’ve got a colostomy bag full of Hopey-Changey Bullshit Squeezin’s.
I’m Hopin’ it Changes into Grade ‘A’ Vitriol.
“I’ve got a jug of Poland Spring water here. I am hoping it turns into Pinot Noir when He speaks.”
After crying for the last two days, you’re comment made me LOL.
LOL.
dude, you are SO friggin’ funny.
I got my toga and grapes ready…
My grapes are fermented. How else can this be stomached.
What an embarrassment.
I can’t wait until the Fooks leave my town.
Just point me in the direction of the vomitarium and stay out of my way.
I just can’t face this alone.
You are not alone.
Even if there is no intellegint life in the leadership of the DNC, with the billions upon billions of stars out there there is bound to be intelligent life out there…just ask Mr Sagan.
Yeah, an hour of Putz Obama and I wish I were dead too.
Hey I’m with you.
I’m with you on that…I can’t stand his voice, his nose-in-the air smugness…my mute button was well used tonight.
It even pisses me off that he(oh, sorry…I mean He) uses the American flag and songs to pretend he is patriotic and loves America.
UGH!
Yay! Thanks for opening up this thread. I’m watching on FOX … the orgasmic moaning on CNN or MSNBC is just too cringey.
I’ll watch what you all have to say, I don’t trust myself with the television at this point.~it can be destroyed.
Me too, Kat. Thanks for the comments everyone. I can’t watch either.
CNN was embarrassing.
Oprah and her sunglasses with Obama’s name in diamonds
That’s the Frecking Secret, now my secret she can kiss my big fat yellow ass.
I guess she doesn’t drive on the bad side of town to see what Obama and Rezko left her neighbors with.
Opharh “Presents Shit On a Stick” That were my words when I went to see the color purple, and the exact same feeling now.
The Color Purple.
You’re kidding, right?
Is that a joke?
I know she has enought money to pull that off.
About Obama at Invesco Field, don’t people usually go to jail when they exhibit this much self-gratification in public?
Kneel before the Great Obama, minions.
Text of Barack Obama’s speech
.
He says his grandma worked her way up to middle management. She was a VP for crying out loud! OF the largest bank in Hawaii. That is not middle management. And I still don’t buy the mom was on food stamps garbage, either. Don’t tell me his grandparents who both had college degrees (like her) and good jobs let their only child and grandchild live on food stamps. It makes no sense.
He should brag about this grandmother’s career and his moms PhD in anthropology as well as her work in microlending in 3rd world countries instead of poor mouthing.
Oh, shit! I dozed off.
Has he said anything worth a crap?
I know. I know. Stupid question.
But he believes it. This is the I AM A Dream speech that I have heard about.
I need to go through the liquor cabinet now.
Even if she were on food stamps, keep in mind that BHO and his sister went to exclusive private schools on scholarships. His own daughters go to private school at the prestious University of Chicago prep school. And he think we will trust him to fix America’s public schools for the mass of children–he has never had any dealings with one!!!
Unbelievable–he lifted lines directly out of HRC’s speech!!!!!
I get so irritated when he says HRC inspires his daughters. Then why the frigg didn’t he ask her to be his VP so he could show his daughters that they too can aspire to be President.
HAHAHAHA. Did anyone catch this part from the transcript:
To President Clinton, who last night made the case for change as only he can make it;
I agree. Only President Clinton can really make change! HAHAHA!
I only skimmed the text because after a couple paragraphs I was bored, but it seem no reach out to women voters or the 18,000,000 Clinton supporters, no?
Well, well, well, not surprised. He doesn’t need us.
Clinton who?
Bill.
When I read this line, I thought of the Bob Rumson line from the movie “The American President.”
It’s not because John McCain doesn’t care. It’s because John McCain doesn’t get it.
Speech writer watching movies to pull lines from?
lol more than a few now mccain doesn’t get it
ee, he gets PUMA’s and he gets Hillary supporters… you need to take a lesson from his playbook, but it is under lock and key when it comes to those with lofty minds…;)
Obama needs to make his case, and he has failed to do so with many Democrats. The fact that he has supporters like you, coming into other peoples houses and pissing on what they hold dear does not further in our view of Obama as the crowned nominee.
IMO, you should to stop being a sore “winner”, or would you rather have me accuse you of being a Republican, because you daily win votes for McCain.
Stanford is playing Oregon State in the Pac 10 opener.
Good game so far. ESPN
lol
20-17, Oregon State. Go Beavs! My significant other wanted to watch the Messiah, so we kept switching back and forth. (He wasn’t impressed) I left the room when the fireworks went off.
No Way - No How - NoObama
The tape - Oh my god, it’s “Field of Dreams”. If you build the Greek temple, they will come …
No other country is my story possible … yeah, in other countries they check your citizenship before allowing you to run for president!
Field of Screams is more like it.
Laughing hysterically !
If he builds it, they will laugh.
He’s naked! Woot! Streaker!
Good for you…..
Remember his “we live in the greatest country in the history of the world”…. I want you to help me change it.
The Obama gang have what the psychologists call “poor social judgment.” Not a good quality in a political party.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4HrSQySus8
Yeah like playing Chain of Fools before Bill spoke then Addicted to Love after.
I caught that too. I wonder if the media will sweep that under the rug as they do all of Obama’s failings.
So far, Obama fails the gracious winner test, the diplomat test (has he even tried to reach out to Hillary’s supporters?), the good judgment test (the songs alone before and after Bill’s supportive speech), impeccable associates test, good manners test, integrity test, and the ultimate test… CIC.
The GOP have been collecting info on this man longer than the Dems… The DNC offered up an unvetted candidate and they think he will win a mandate?
I am truly embarrassed about what the Democratic Party has become. I think there are enough of us Dems and Repubs, that are sick and tired of this crap. Team Obama tried to capitalize on our discontent(can we say poll driven and will say anything to be elected?), but his message and motives were to manipulate. We saw his “grassroots” movement as the AstroTurf that it is.
We really need to find a way to build a viable third party. One for honest moderates that will work to solve our problems here and globally. We need a party that will help our country live up to it’s promise. It would have to be an exclusive party though… No plastics would be allowed…
I just watched the McCain ad that is offering congratulations to Obama. Classy ad, Classy guy. Watch it on John Mccain.com
Yes that was classy and a good tactical move. It gives him the upper hand, as you have to be strong to be gracious.
Great point! Yes, you have to be gracious to be strong - 2 attributes Barry has never cultivated.
Was this mock coronation the gaudiest thing you’ve ever seen? He “really” apprealed to ordinary citizens, didn’t he? One big visual illusion. David Copperfield with a tan.
McCain ‘08
Hillary ‘12
Yes it was gaudy and kind of scarey. So many people. I was comforted by the fact that people filing in were running 1:7 Obama supporters versus people just coming out of curiosity.
Did anyone catch that the very first person he thanked was Howard Dean and then Dick Durbin? I lost it at that point. Yeah, thanks Howie for screwing over Hillary for me!
No Way-No How-NoObama
How many times did they say “grassroots” on CNN?!! If this were the case, you would have seen a truly democratic process. I’m used to it now. Given how much they overhyped his toughness, specificity and “new approach” touching on social issues, I feel pretty confident the Republicans will eat him alive.
Chain of Fools was perfect. The Obots sang and danced right along like lemmings having no clue that the joke is on them. They are a chain of fools.
OMG….I missed that they played those songs.
What a jerk!!!
Born in the USA tonight as they were departing. Guess he wanted it to stick in their heads as they fell off to lala land
Bernie, I’m still reeling from that addicted to love thing and Jim Leach. Very, very hard for me to get over this. BO is so passive aggressive hard to believe. We don’t need someone with an DSMIV diagnosis of personality disorder in the WH…
He must have taken the advice to “go negative.” Or maybe it’s the Mr. Agistator in him. Not too classy. Sounds worse when read from telepromter than on the page.

Obama showcasing his white family> and the typical white grandmother he threw under bus.
I have to ask it, sorry: How many of Obambi’s militant supporters were surprised not to see more Black faces in that bio film? WHAT ARE ALL THOSE WHITE PEOPLE DOING IN THIS VIDEO?
Heh.
and where was BO on MLK day, at the State of the Black Union…absent, busy campaigning. He seems to be afraid to do things that honor the AA community, but wants their votes. People who are going to vote for him would have no problem with him attending those events, wouldn’t have cared if he attended those events, people that would care that he attended aren’t going to vote for him people that have a problem aren’t going to vote for him anyhow…
He just seems more than a little two faced to me…
He sure was absent from the MLK memorial and the State of the Black Union.
He skipped those events.
But once again, the Black people I know give him a pass, “oh he was busy” but if that was the Clintons, of course they would have been racist.
smh.
He skipped MLK day and “recreated the I Have a Dream” in a footbal stadium dressed up to look like the Lincoln Memorial. OH! They kept talking about Lincoln, too! He was a Republican!
Did anyone else see Obama snog Mrs Biden? I wish they would have panned over to Mechelle.
My husband told me about it. Mechelle, the sourpuss, was probably pooping her pants when that happened… Probably couldn’t make it to any Lobbyists parties afterward..
Gross….
NO NO NO>>> I WILL NOT WATCH… NO!
LMAO!
.
I will , I will, I will. At first it was yes WE can, now it is I will.
The link to the transcript above — This speech is ALL about “Obama” — notice the number of times Obama says I — I I I I I I I
What a load of BS.
Hello President McCain.
I bought McCain’s book today — looking forward to reading it.
PUMA
Barack Fauxbama the Crockumentary is currently playing at Invesco.
EEEK! Michelle is in it. Its not a documentary its a
angerAction-Adventure film.Help! I’m watching!!!!!! I”m gonna need a trip to Betty Ford if they don’t stop….
Me too Katherine…..I haven’t had this much wine in my life.
I’m not going to watch this pathetic charade!
However, my wife is hogging the remote right now
I’m not watching this travesty. Guess I’ll depend on all of you to let me know if the oceans part or he ascends to the heavens.
..strong Remote Kung Fu?
Hope there isn’t a custody battle.
Did someone say he was planning on feeding the multitudes with Arugala? (Is that the right weed?)
I heard it was fish and loaves..
and turn the water to
whineopps wine …. lolNo, he has found a drug that moves on soundbites… it causes irrational hope and denial of all things wrong. One common side effect is treating others that are somehow immune to the drug as lowly uninformed racists.
At one point he said “drugs” out of the blue. He corrected himself in and said “drive.”
Outstanding! Any closeups of the nostrils? Just kidding.
Watching the Chicago Bears vs Cleveland Browns!
I will not pollute my already diminished brains cells further will that crap
I’m gonna throw up.
I’m staying with the blog, we have the television on some home improvement channel and have removed batteries from the remote, precautions have been taken. Safety First.
… laughing…
Oh boy, here’s the Ken Burns/Oprah schmaltz film. snooze.
