I watched the webcast live last night. He's an excellent speaker, though I disagreed with part of it.

/he's a bit better candidate than McCain, though.

No one has ever denied his oratory ability.

I can see why being good at anything enrages the neocons so much, they hate that in any candidate.

Being competent at your job is anti-American!

Obama's increase in the polls, post acceptance: 3-4 points.

DeadZone: Obama's increase in the polls, post acceptance: 3-4 points.

I see, one ended up failing therefore everyone that gets a bump in the polls will fail. Your logic is impeccable.

as tired as i am of the messiah meme, that is pretty farking funny.

Bull.

kronicfeld: Bull.

Anyone who says that Obama isn't a phenomenal orator is full of shiat, you know it and I know it.

JUST WAIT TIL HE DOESN'T HAVE A TELEPROMPTER!

KaponoFor3: Anyone who says that Obama isn't a phenomenal orator is full of shiat, you know it and I know it.

Every day this site is full of people who say he's an empty suit who is nothing without a teleprompter.

You went full retard man.

I'm really tired of these "Obama for Emperor" pictures. I see no sign that he's an heir to Norton I.

Bill Kristol thinks your posts are kind of generic.

Like Wednesday?

KaponoFor3: No one has ever denied his oratory ability.

Really? I've seen plenty of people here on Fark doing just that. Is this yet another "ooops, my bad" like when you told me John McCain is pro-choice?

He isn't just an orator. Last night he presented a fascinating paradigm of what America is and what it represents. And I have been waiting my entire life for a President that sees the true nature of who we are as a people the way he does.

If you don't get that, and think that it was just a bunch of pretty words, you're a farking idiot.

KaponoFor3: Anyone who says that Obama isn't a phenomenal orator is full of shiat, you know it and I know it.

That's quite a bit different than your original claim that nobody is denying his ability. It's kind of late in the day for you to claim you haven't had your coffee yet.

KaponoFor3: No one has ever denied his oratory ability.

I'll say it, he is a hell of a teleprompter reader. When he dosnt have one he turns in to the wizard of uhs (new window).

/He got blown away at saddleback.

which is to say, every day this site is full of people who are full of shiat.

which is entirely true.

Many have referred to him as a cunning linguist.

Clonod: He isn't just an orator. Last night he presented a fascinating paradigm of what America is and what it represents.

He also spoke to us like adults, and made it plain that we all have to commit to making these things happen, not just wait for the government to do it for us.

No one not looking to slam his on a percieved strength. The very fact that you keep hitting that shows it's something you're worried about.

Which is hilarious since King George can't speak for 30 seconds without embarrassing the country with his ineloquence. Bush speaks english like it's a foreign language.

Jon Stewart just did his piece on the big night. It was hilarious.
John Oliver was off the hook funny.

"the hope it tastes delicious"

RevMercutio: I'm really tired of these "Obama for Emperor" pictures. I see no sign that he's an heir to Norton I.

He is more Romulus Augustulus IMHO.

Argh2:

Could you specify exactly why I, as an Obama supporter, would be worried about either of the following:

1. people who claim he's not a skilled orator
2. Kapono claiming those people don't exist

Awaiting your answer...

Argh2: Bush speaks english like it's a foreign language.

He does sound better speaking Spanish.

She's an empty C-cup.

The Why Not Guy: He also spoke to us like adults......who dont like details and get overly excited by very general promises.

/"This Speech Changed My Life" Kanye West and Oprah.
//Hope that first slash wasnt racist.

OMG watching the Daily Show and Sam B just said " Women don't vote with the big head, they vote with the little hood"

That should be McCain's new slogan...

A little trolly.

Still, if I misunderstood the exchange there, I apologize.

It is hilarious, republicans say that Obama can only speak using a teleprompter, but the old man can't even do that. How farking hard is it to have an eye - mouth coordination?

/That's not change we can believe in (creepy smile)

DeadZone: Obama's increase in the polls, post acceptance: 3-4 points.
Michael Dukakis's increase in the polls, post acceptance speech: 7 points.

The polling only goes through Wednesday so far, genius.

And so far it's 4-8 points.

38 million people watching Obama give his acceptance speech is being spun into a bad thing? Really? I am so sick of that shiat.

I'm going to laugh when only 12 people nationwide tune in for McCain's acceptance speech and they try to turn it into a good thing.

///I will be one of those 12 because I want to know what old man has to say
//I also want to play drinking games.

Clonod: He isn't just an orator. Last night he presented a fascinating paradigm of what America is and what it represents. And I have been waiting my entire life for a President that sees the true nature of who we are as a people the way he does.

If you don't get that, and think that it was just a bunch of pretty words, you're a farking idiot.

I was disappointed. There were some transcendtal moments, to be sure. But a sizeable chunk of the speech came across to me as more like your standard State of the Union Address: a litany of mostly (taken as a whole) unfulfillable promises.

Obama's done better, can do better, and I'm sure will do better in future. Last night just wasn't the top of his game.

It was like watching Jordan in his prime score 22 points in a game. Yeah, he probably led all scorers that game, but you realize that it was still far short of his potential.

Thats not a flag, its a red white and blue table cloth.

There is a flag in the background of this picture:


/See the difference?

Argh2: A little trolly.

Still, if I misunderstood the exchange there, I apologize.

You remind me of a schnauzer I had who always got the last bark even when I caught him red-pawed tipping over the garbage can. You misunderstood the exchange, but I'm the troll here? Whatever, barkie.

SeismicJizzer: It is hilarious, republicans say that Obama can only speak using a teleprompter, but the old man can't even do that. How farking hard is it to have an eye - mouth coordination?

If you watch the video from today's introduction of Palin, McCain has to read her name when introducing her.

Then he stood next to her and stared at her chest.

shamuscares: 38 million people watching Obama give his acceptance speech is being spun into a bad thing? Really? I am so sick of that shiat.

Everything Obama does is, by definition, wrong.

Larry Mahnken: The polling only goes through Wednesday so far, genius.

38 million, Wow, that's like American Idol numbers.

DeadZone: Obama's increase in the polls, post acceptance: 3-4 points.
Michael Dukakis's increase in the polls, post acceptance speech: 7 points.

McCain hasn't jumped in the polls yet after picking his VP, obviously she's worthless! These things can't take time, America demands instant results or everything's dumb! You haven't replied to me yet, you're dumb.
