Yessssss!!! In his speech, Obama is setting the record straight on all the lies

[mfcorey1]

drumpf has told about the economy, health care and so much more. I even wrote to the DNC and begged them to do this. Crickets. President Obama is taking no prisoners and calling out the so called conservatives. I love you, Prez!

[stopbush]

1. Must-see TV!!

God, I miss our last real president.

[GemDigger]

2. It's great! Calling crazy crazy got a hoot from me.

[dalton99a]

11. It's coming

[oasis]

17. Fox News carried Obama's speech. I monitored them.

[OnDoutside]

39. Thanks, I was wondering about that. I think they got a lot more than they bargained for.

[oasis]

51. Fox was probably waiting for a "gotcha" statement they could

blow out of proportion. However, Obama spoke so much truth and made so much sense. He gave Fox fans nothing to pick up and run with.

[Dirty Socialist]

20. You stole my toilet paper!

[Fred Sanders]

why anyone buys Shitler...which is all beyond explaining.

[Cousin Dupree]

12. Oh how I miss him. I could cry right now.

[oasis]

13. "VOTE!"

IMHO, this has got to be one of Obama's most powerful speeches.

[Vinca]

18. Agreed. It was amazing.

[Hekate]

35. Thank you!

Much appreciated!

[Vinca]

16. That was the best collection of words I've heard in 2 years.

Part of me feels like weeping. Part of me feels like laughing. What an inspiration.

[rurallib]

19. What a thrill to hear him again

and once again he takes things on head on.

Thank you, Mr. President!

[ObamaKerryDem]

21. Best speech he's ever given!

And THAT is saying something!

[oasis]

31. It's surely up there with his best. nt

[hedda_foil]

22. This was one of his greatest speeches ever!

[mfcorey1]

24. I am so emotional right now!

[mnhtnbb]

23. Wow. Classic Obama. I am SO glad he's speaking out.

During his speech--I was watching MSNBC--they split the screen to show the orange one arriving in Fargo, ND. And they left the damn screen split for at least 5-10 minutes before they went back full screen to Obama. It also looked like the screen wasn't split 50/50 to me. Looked like 2/5 Obama and 3/5 orange one. Subtle tactic to minimize Obama's speech. Bunch of BS.

Wonderful speech.

[kacekwl]

34. CNN did the same.

[smirkymonkey]

25. Damn! I wish I could have seen it but I am here at work now.

CNN is on the screen in the lounge and the cafe but the sound is turned off. Hopefully I can watch a re-play when I get home tonight.

[rurallib]

26. CBC seems to have the video up on youtube already

[bdamomma]

42. wow thanks for posting

I am at work.

Is tRump's head blowing up yet???

[maddiemom]

53. I guess we'll have to wake him up to find out.

[montana_hazeleyes]

27. Oh, what a speech!

President Obama was magnificent!

[Doreen]

28. MSNBC noted they were doing fact checks on his speech.

Which facts were they confused about? What did they find out? Obama does not lie like trump so why did they find it necessary?

[haele]

32. I have no problem with that. If at most, they find a bit of hyperbolic rhetoric, that's okay.

Fact check a speech by Drumpf and a speech by Obama, and hold the results up side by side.
President Obama has nothing to be afraid of. He wins on the truth every time.

Fact-checking is transparency. That's what the GOP is afraid of.

Haele

[Doreen]

36. I really do not have a problem with it either.

I just think it is a waste of time because our true president does not lie.

[bdamomma]

45. there were no scandals in

President Obama's tenure as President.

[OnDoutside]

40. I think they meant that Obama was fact checking Trump during his speech, although they way

MSNBC said it was confusing.

[Doreen]

43. That makes sense.

I do not see Obama telling people things that he does not know as fact. He is to smart and honest.

[SWBTATTReg]

29. Amen Mr. President!!! I have missed you!!! I love it when you said...

...not be a Democratic or a Republican issue and that regardless of views, “you should still want to see a restoration of honesty and decency and lawfulness in our government.”

Let's see how the liar in chief and his cronies deal w/ President Obama's strong but righteous words!!

[Achilleaze]

30. Thank you President Obama

republican lies are dangerous for America

[gademocrat7]

33. We must all heed President Obama's words.

Vote in the midterms!

[Le Grand Pronounceur]

37. An Actual President

What a concept!

[workinclasszero]

46. God bless you President Obama!

Speaking TRUTH to power!

[RainCaster]

47. ALL THE LIES? How many days will this speech last?

To debunk all of his lies would take a lifetime. That clown is incapable of telling the truth. Of course the GOP is fully complicit with that.

[Nanjeanne]

48. So that's what a President sounds like? What a treat. And a big THANK YOU from me,

Pres. Obama, for supporting Medicare For All. Your support will be invaluable in the fight for healthcare for all of us!

[tavernier]

49. Wow.

Powerful, and at the same time, easy like Sunday morning.

[Initech]

50. I am loving this! Looking forward to Trump's head exploding in 3...2...1...

[mr_lebowski]

52. "Failing Barack Obama, a Sitting President who couldn't even Defeat Crooked Hillary for ...

his own Party's nomination in 2016, is lying about Trump's accomplishments, as always. This is why we need Libel Law Reform! Also, where is your Birth Certificate, so-called President Obummer?"

[maddiemom]

54. Obama wasn't eligible to run in 2016.

[mr_lebowski]

56. Yeah, no sh*t ... that was the joke ... ;)

Trump will lie about anything and everything ...

[maddiemom]

59. Oh. Ha Ha!

[George Eliot]

55. Totally agree. Time someone did.

I love this Obama! Time to call out the collusion going on in Republican Party.

[highplainsdem]

57. Great speech!
