He gave the keynote speech at the 2004 DNC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWynt87PaJ0 Have some quotes from 2004-era D&D about it: Swordfish posted:Obama is a loving great speaker. This kid could go far. MassRafTer posted:Wow, Obama is amazing. I hate to say it, but the only thing stopping him is that his name might be "too black." I really hate to say that because he is giving an amazing speech that doesn't play into the conservative "angry black man wanting welfare" stereotype at all, but with that name it feels like when he gets a shot at being a VP contender he's going to get picked on for that very poo poo just because he sounds like the kind of black person that scares really white people. Nothus posted:Where can I get a Obama 2012 sticker? squidgee posted:This kid (Obama) kicks some serious rear end. This is honestly what I was hoping Dean's speech would be like; and I didn't even know who he was before today. If he keeps himself in the spotlight, he could loving go places. Nothus posted:I was thinking the other way around- once she loses to Obama in the primaries.

I remember the likes of Limbaugh encouraging people to vote in primaries for Obama because there would be no way he could win the general.

I remember Al Franken's book that came out around 2006 or so (last year in high school is when I got it I believe) had him praising Obama and I think predicting his presidency. He definitely said Obama would go far. But man it's been so long.

God I'm at work and I'm surrounded by people who are still voting for the KKK Cheeto Elemental despite everything, on the basis that Hillary is ~*~clearly~*~ a criminal And I can't debate in good faith with them because I get flustered and start forgetting all the facts and talking points I want to discuss so it just evolves into silent embarrassed nodding on my part Bleeehhh

I wish I could try harder, especially because I'm in Nevada. I don't know how hard our state actually matters for the presidency this time around, EV-wise, but I know that--strange non-polling of our hispanic population aside--we tend to run a close race. Certainly this is the first time for me that it's felt so important to get this right, and while I understand a lot of people were always gonna vote for Candy Corn no matter what, I just wish I could make a more convincing stand. Social anxiety is a bitch like that I suppose

Also 08 era republicans were making GBS threads their pants about Obama. A bunch of them were in favor of him winning the primary because Anyone But Hillary but as soon as it became clearly apparent that he was what came out when you described "presidential" to a computer the whole thing went into a tailspin of desperation.

Take solace in the fact that anybody who is literally convinced that Hillary Clinton is a criminal cannot be reasoned out of this position, and even if they could it would take much longer to do it than we have until she's elected.

They managed to get their party hijacked by an idiot because their own rules designed to prevent idiots hijacking their golden boys gutted them in key states.

Specifically these entries are tagged as "election 2016" they dont show up on the front page but show up as related entries. They're clearly stubs that were going to be fleshed out as the debate happened, the only thing they can write for now is "our guy ruled, the other guy sucked!"
