2008 The Displacement

Cheney visits the troops, Bush defends an illegal war that has claimed 4000 American lives and currently costs well over half a trillion dollars. As expected, Bush calls the world a safer place. As expected, Bush wants more of the same war. As expected, McCain wants more of the war that Bush wants. Unexpectedly, what Bush and his crew had to say about the war they are winning/wanting forever was sidelined by an even bigger story: Obama’s race speech.
On USATODAY.com, an article about Obama’s speech attracted 7,502 comments by 2:30 a.m. ET today, the most for a single story. The previous high for comments on a single story (5,517) was an article about Obama defeating Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Feb. 19 Wisconsin and Hawaii nominating contests, according to USA TODAY research.By late Tuesday, Obama’s speech was the most-viewed video on MSNBC.com, the second-most viewed story on websites for ABC, CBS and CNN.
Bush’s defense of the war the was on the margins, and a story with greater reality/substance/truth was at the center of attention. Now that’s something amazing. We are living in times that have about them the fullness of history.
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE REAL CHARLES MUDEDE?!?
Brilliant!
Five Years of Failure - and now they want another Five Year Plan for Iran.
Just. Say. No!
I've been trying to tell my friends.
We are living in the age of wonders. All they need to do is open their eyes.
This is proving difficult for some.
I'd be interested to see the viewership numbers of the next closest political speech. Seriously, last night I finally found the time to watch that 40 minute speech and it was great. Normally I can't take more than 2-3 minutes of a politician talking.
