Painting the current President as a failure and a cynic, former President Barack Obama on Wednesday urged Americans to vote in November rather than sitting out of electoral politics.
Wow!!!
That is what a real President is like.
Pres. Obama took a sure-footed moral position no one could mistake and a rhetorical tone unlike any I’ve ever heard from a member of that most exclusive of clubs, the ex-presidents.
Let’s not be smug or content and remember his message every day.
I rarely cry. But that speech brought me to tears.
Exceeding last night and that was no easy task.
Harris speech very, very good as well.
Seriously? Please tell me you are being serious.

“they actually care about every American” and America’s democracy”

WHY DID HE REFUSE TO ENDORSE SLOW JOE UNTIL IT WAS ALL OVER, AND EVEN THEN WAS VERY LATE? WHY DID HE TRY TO GET HIM NOT TO RUN?

Lame. Low energy. Fucking moron quality.
Don’t know about the others.
Patricia and Mark McCloskey, the couple who wielded guns at Black Lives Matter protesters in St. Louis, will have convention speaking roles, according to multiple reports. In June, video was captured of the McCloskeys pointing guns at protesters outside of their home, yelling at them to get off their property. Demonstrators were walking on a private street to gather and protest outside of the St. Louis mayor’s residence. The couple was separately charged with felony unlawful use of a weapon but Trump, the Missouri governor and the state’s attorney general all argued that the charges should be dropped.
Other speakers include Nick Sandmann, the fromer Covington Catholic High School student whose interaction with a Native American elder in Washington was captured on video that went viral; Andrew Pollack, the father of a Parkland school shooting victim; and anti-abortion activist Abby Johnson, who previously worked at a Planned Parenthood, according to Fox News.
This just sounds like a sad old, white, fox news watching, racist trumptard.
Tweets of desperation and disinformation!
Clint Eastwood and the empty chair couldn’t make it?
Why the F would you not include a link to the actual speech?
It was a lament for the possible loss of all we love, coupled with a reminder that we have a charge to keep. The broad sweep of American history that BHO commands is nothing short of breathtaking, and to hear the the undertones of lament in his voice nearly broke my heart. Come November, I hope America rises up and gives this great American’s country back to him, and to all of us who love and are loved by him.
I will sleep better tonight for these words. Thank you, @rucleare. HOPE, writ large.
In all fairness, the MAGA hat kid from Covington Catholic will not be speaking. He was invited merely to smirk.
Trying figure out how many whines per minute that convention’s speeches will produce.
Nobody—not Obama, and not anyone else—will ever deliver a greater, more profound speech than Charleston. That would not be possible. But this could be his most consequential, and in these times, that’s saying a great deal. I hope that whatever gods may be will give his voice even greater power and bring our way of life through this crisis intact and ready to improve and flourish. You should hope that too.
