GOOD LORD
Edited on Tue Feb-10-09 01:11 PM by mikiturner
This is one the most amazing spectacles I've ever seen. Truly a representative democracy before us. A mob of people just begging to have their questions answered. Emotional stories of problems people are having. Once representatives see this, they'll be begging to be part of the solution. The GOP is screwed if they continue to obstruct.

8. Obama is so comfortable with the crowd and they love him.
He picked a young guy for the last question who was thrilled to speak to Obama. He works for Mcdonald's and is going to school studying communications. The difference between Obama's Town Halls and Bush/Cheney could not be greater.

12. Sweet! That guy was cool.
After 8 years, the feeling of having a President that actually cares and listens to the people is indescribable.

9. I wouldn't say overzealous but yeah that was him. He was excited.
I mean how many times have you been able to speak to the President of the United States personally? And out of all those people he got to be picked. I loved his question because his was definitely something people could relate too on so many levels. Getting better benefits in the shitty jobs we already have.

19. Yeah, that was bad wording on my part. I didn't mean for it to sound negative.
I probably would've flipped out if I had the chance to ask a question at a town hall like that. ;)

13. Yes he was
It was refreshing to see that Pres. Obama really listened to his question and was able to address all his points. It was also refreshing that the Pres. pronounced his name properly.

18. Get over yourself!!! You have more issues than he does.
There are people suffering and when they're seeing someone who's responding to them and listening to their concerns they're definitely going to be excited.

20. Say what you will but I find it refreshing that young people are so
involved this time around. He may have been amped but he was there and he asked a very decent question.

24. Yes, eleny, and I'm making a
list of all the DUers I've known over the years who are changing their names now so I won't lose the continuity. There's a lot of us:)
