Obama hitting it out of the park in Colorado.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

The intro by Fluke was nice, and it warmed up the crowd (as if it needed it).

Obama is now talking up his health care program. F I N A L L Y ! Especially how it helps women now.

And the crowd is loving it!

Try it on CSPIN 1

He is giving one hell of a speech, talking breast cancer, birth control, insurance companies, and more.
"There's nothing conservative about a government which prevents a woman from making her own health care choices."

[riverwalker]

1. "I like the term Obamacare"

"....because it means I care" love it

[freshwest]

2. He made sweet lemonade out of the sour lemons the GOP tossed at him for years!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

3. jebus. compare this crowd to what will be happening next.

Mittard is giving a speech live in Iowa. CSPIN is going there next.

5. I think I'm going to sit in on that one

dont' really want to but I'd like to compare the crowds and energy.

[nc4bo]

4. Like a rock star.

The energy of the people is still there and I expect it to pick up evenmore the closer to Election Day we get.

Enthusiasm is a great sign.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

6. just listen to that crowd. Awesome.

It energizes him as much as he energized them.

[Wait Wut]

7. I think it's because he genuinely bonds with his crowds.

He doesn't look over a sea of people, he's spending time with them. You can see him look at individuals faces while he's speaking. He'll respond to a shout out with warmth and humor.

Next up, Romney to tell us how tall the trees are and how you can buy Pepsi at a hardware store.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

9. yep. there is clear bonding.

And it comes through the tv, too.

i doubt we will see any gaffs from Romeny, unless he goes off script.

[nc4bo]

12. He lies so damn much. He lies.

And giving me a headache....

He's now lying about the welfare issue saying what he did in Mass.

Crowd claps at the appropriate pauses.

Talks about outsourcing jobs to China - keep jobs here - crowd claps but they're clapping for the same douche that outsourced hundreds of jobs.

I'm done.

8. cnn showed a few minutes of it, then said Obama was 5 points down in colorado

[ChairmanAgnostic]

10. someone watches CNN? Still?

[spanone]

11. i mistakenly turned it on and...voila...there was the President...not for long

[Samantha]

15. Not so fast there, CNN, look what PPP showed a couple of days ago

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/07/colorado-north-carolina-polls-obama-leading-romney_n_1753204.html

"The survey, conducted by Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling, found Obama leading Romney in Colorado 49 to 43 percent, with 7 percent undecided."

Too early to despair, Spanone, over Colorado ... there is hope.

13. K&R Stark contrast to "Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love

with women all across this country." (GWB Sept. 6, 2004)

Rock on, President Obama!

[tanyev]

14. Oh dear lord, that one's still a head scratcher.

Did he just not listen to the things he said as they came out of his mouth?
