Chris Mathew down on Prez speech...

[kerouac2]

I was going to say WTF, but he's saying some things that we need to think about.
Step up for our party, step up for Bill Clinton... own what he earned.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

1. I agree. He should have acknowledged Bill Clinton tonight. I know that he thanked him separately

but he should have.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

5. He'll repay Bill if Hillary gets the nomination

I imagine Obama would be a great campaigner for her, in the same role as Bill was for us this year

[Maximumnegro]

9. No he didn't need to. This was HIS campaign

He ran it. He called the shots. It's HIS speech. Why should Clinton get a shout-out more than Plouffe or Axelrod or...

It's a silly and ridiculous criticism. Dude has won and already people have started their petty concerns.

With that I am out of here. It's only downhill from here. I sincerely hope many here grasp the true significance of his speech and will avoid getting caught up in breathless fits and fainting spells and petty critiques. We are once in a lifetime witness to one of the greatest figures in history. After this campaign I am 100% on board no-doubts when to comes to Obama.

Adios DU.

[Amonester]

13. I fully agree!

Don't you leave DU for that!

It's a big tent, and we agree to disagree often, but we don't leave when we are right.

Stand up and fight for what's right!

10. I don't think he had to thank Bill Clinton by name.

If he would have thanked some of his team members by name and omitted Bill Clinton's name, then I would have thought it was wrong. But he thanked his wife, daughters, and Joe Biden by name. I believe Bill falls under the greatest political team and volunteers category.

I don't see it as that big of a deal!

Just my opinion.

2. Nobody will remember any of this banter in two weeks

What will always be remembered is that Obama spanked they ass. Finis.

[kerouac2]

7. Banter, no. Being mentioned in his speech? Yes.

Bill Clinton worked it for this prez (and many other dems). BC earned a nod on the big stage tonight. Tomorrow morning, half the country will still be spitting venom at our prez. Tonight, he could have really owned what he/we earned.

[alcibiades_mystery]

11. Whatever, dude

[kerouac2]

12. Over the top?

Think I need to go to sleep. Must sleep now...

[satxdem]

15. as he should

Isn't he a democrat, didn't Obama clean up some of Bill Clinton's mess(Doma, dadt, no healthcare, nafta) and didn't the Clinton team run a really nasty campaign in 08, first birther lawsuits were Hillary supporters. And gave Hillary a job to fix her image. They owed Obama.

[demlion]

3. Matthews needs to go to sleep

[GusFring]

4. what is wrong with some of u people. Now is not the time for that shit.

Let the man enjoy his victory. Damn

[Cha]

6. Yes, it's definitely the time to start whining and trying to take a piss

on President Re-Elect, Barack Hussein Obama.

[Comrade_McKenzie]

8. Now the critics have a mandate to be annoying again... nt

[Amonester]

14. Yawn...

President re-elect (in 12) Obama thanked President re-elect (in 96) Clinton personally, as soon as the mitwit finished admiting defeat.

DUers thanked him too.

Not happy? Go ask President Clinton if he's offended. I bet he would answer a firm "no, not at all"

End of fake drama.

[TheDonkey]

16. Obama is not a party animal

Like Biden, he just doesn't do that wort of backslapping. I love that kind of backslapping but guess what Matthews, he is the fucking President.

[SLCLiberal]

17. I think it's past his time

cranky grandpa needs to go to bed.
