A confident Barack Obama raised an extraordinary $7.8 million Sunday at three California fundraisers, most of it in large checks to a Democratic Party committee.“I will win. Don’t worry about that,” he said to the crowd of about 1,300 at his third event of the evening, according to the pool report.
He was warmly received by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who called him "a leader that God has blessed us with at this time."Obama echoed some of the themes he discussed when he described Pennsylvanians as "bitter" and stoked controversy three months ago, but did so much more adroitly."
At the third and final event of the blockbuster evening, Obama again vowed to break the Democratic losing streak by answering Republican charges aggressively and enlisting the American people in his cause.“I will win. Don’t worry about that,” he said to the crowd of about 1,300.
[You should worry and should not be picking out drapes yet.]
The candidate was particularly fired up in this speech, confident and assertive, having finally shaken off the vacation dust. He was warmly received by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the hometown gal was neutral during the primary, but wasn’t shy about her Obama affection tonight, calling him “a leader that God has blessed us with at this time.”
[Senator, when President Bush said Jesus was his favorite philosopher, the left went mad and apoplectic. Now Pelosi says you are our blessed savior - and the left is quiet. Can you see why Senator, she and you and the left are hypocrites? Is it clear. Can't be spelled out any more clear unless you spit on the Bible.]
Obama spoke at length about the difficulties that many Americans were facing (beyond these four walls at least), hitting similar points from his “bitter” speech, but without the guns and God landmines.
“Now, you want to win. And saying it doesn’t make it so,” he told the crowd. “It would be nice to think that after eight years of economic disaster, after eight years of bungled foreign policy, of being engaged in a war that should never have been authorized and should never have been waged, that cost us a trillion dollars and thousands of lives, that people would say, let’s toss the bums out. Toss the bums out, we’re starting from scratch, we’re starting over. This is not working.”
[Economic disaster? Do you understand the meaning of words Senator? maybe you meant to say tsunami or avalanche, maybe genocide. Disaster? Please. You are calling the current president a bum Senator, and when someone calls you a bum and wants to toss you from the Senate next time, is that appropriate? I guess so. You used the words.]
“So I understand why a lot of folks are saying, this should just happen. Why are we having to run all these television commercials? Why do we have to raise all this money? Just read the papers. These are the knuckleheads who have been in charge. Throw ‘em out. But American politics aren’t that simple.”
[Knuckleheads? Bums? You sir are a nitwit. You are not even remotely bright enough to be a knucklehead. It is unfortunate you resort to name calling.]“The fact of the matter is, at a certain point, when government has not been serving the people for this long, people get cynical. They tune out. And they start saying to themselves, a plague on both your houses. They are willing to consume negative information more frequently than positive information, for good reason. They’ve seen how promises haven’t been kept.”Things could get ugly in the coming weeks, he warned.“They’ve got a whole machinery that they’re cranking out,” Obama continued. “They’ve got a book about me, that just kind of sprung full bore out of this guy’s head.”
[A Congress that has passed fewer laws than any in decades. A Congress with lower approval ratings than any sitting president. We don't need to make these things up. neither do we need to make up stories about your brothers or Chinese connections ... it isn't an innuendo, it isn't make-believe. Things just don't SPRING out of someones head. Publishers do not publish lies. They have to have evidence or documentation. You may claim the facts and evidence are wrong, but don't say it sprung out of his head. You are being dishonest.]
“John McCain, all he wants to do is talk about me. They know they can’t win on the issues. So what they’ll do is they’ll try to scare people. He’s risky. He’s risky. We’re not sure.”It’s an old playbook, he continued, but Obama said, it’s not going to work this time. “Not only do you have a candidate who doesn’t take any guff. Not only do you have a candidate who will hit back swiftly and forcefully and truthfully.
[Senator, McCain has offered to do over 10 Townhall meetings with you - talking to you, about the issues. You refuse. So don't say all he wants to do is talk about you, he wants to talk to you. You are the one who runs away.]
But you’ve also got American people who are rising up all over the country and saying, enough is enough.”
[Yeah, they are aren't they. Enough is enough of this Obamessiah stuff is what they are saying.]
