      wow–i only got through 32 seconds of it, and i can see why miss ann is worried. this man cannot tolerate dissent. he looks like he’s going to hit somebody, and then maybe tear the place up.

        I agree that this is one scary video. His anger and intolerance of anyone questioning him is incredible. Can you imagine this kind of childish behavior in a President? No way…

          I just retweeted that US President don’t get 2 do this. He seems like he’s running for king. But the other thing is if he is not talking to the media now, do you really think he would be talking to them more if he were president? I think if this nutjob became prez, there would be a total media embargo.

      Here at TOD we’re all very tolerant and staunchly defend Americans right to worship as they choose as long as they aren’t harming or infringing on anyone else, or endangering or limiting a child in any way. Wikkens [SIC] brussel sprout worship, f*ck WHATEVER as long as it doesn’t violate the aforementioned limits. There are thousands of decent American Mormons…mmmm…mainstream I guess you could say; “Jack Mormons” especially. BUT THE ORTHODOX TRUE believers?? The older life-long members in particular like willard?? OMG. IT IS SOME SERIOUSLY DISTURBING SHIT. I bet many of you have researched it. We ALWAYS want to give other folks a break on their religious beliefs. And it CANNOT BE TOUCHED in a political campaign. But without elaborating more right now, suffice it to say willard is UTTERLY UNFIT for the power of the presidency with his death-pledge allegience to a very disturbing cult. I know what you’re thinking, never mind there are 101 OTHER reasons why he is unfit. YOU ARE CORRECT!! But the strict Mormon prophecy of a superior people out surviving the LESSER and much, MUCH more is truly frightening and bizarre.

      HE MUST NOT HAVE THE PRESIDENCY OF THE GREATEST, MOST POWERFUL NATION ON EARTH.

    Bill Clinton doing a better job campaigning for Pres.Obama than he did for Hillary.

    Just sayin’.

      Seems like he learned his lesson about President Obama, plus he’s laying the groundwork in case she ends up deciding to run after all. In any case – I’m grateful. Especially this week, when President Obama had to step away from the circus and tend to his actual job.

      • November 3, 2012 at 10:23 pm

        He has clearly developed a deep affection and respect for President Obama. I don’t think there’s any ‘agenda’ beyond that.

        As to SOS Clinton, she’s been very terse and consistent – she’s done with campaigning. However, imho, she is highly likely to be President Obama’s next SCOTUS nominee.

        • November 3, 2012 at 10:31 pm

          While I would love Hillary on SCOTUS, I think PBO will choose someone younger. His main goal for the 2nd term will be to reshape the Court. It won’t be the Roberts Court, but named after whatever Obama appointee seizes the reins.

          hmm–hadn’t thought of her as scotus. i think she’d like a nice ambassadorship next. she’s an incredible resource in the international realm.

      Remember, President Obama is the head of the campaign – so everything is reflected accordingly.

    • November 3, 2012 at 10:25 pm

      I think that’s because he has witnessed the shenanigans of the Republicans, knows the game and is a true Democrat and Patriot. If Hillary were President now he would be stumping harder for her now than in 2008! He KNOWS we HAVE to win or the country will down the toilet!!!.

    Both PBO and Big Dog have hoarse voice, but Willard’s is still intact. This tells me that Willard’s crowds are small, and his rallies are few.

  12. November 3, 2012 at 10:26 pm

    Bill Clinton is losing his voice as well as PBO. Wow our entire team has been working so hard. I don’t think Willard has lost his voice.

  13. November 3, 2012 at 10:26 pm

    Poor Bill …. he’s done it to himself again and has totally wrecked his voice!!! But, boy is he ON for the President!!

    Watching M Bashir, Pres Clinton introducing PBO, Clinton is funny.

  17. November 3, 2012 at 10:35 pm

    President Clinton is making such an incredibly accurate and compelling case for President Obama. I’ve watched him give this speech four times and it just gets better and better and tonight’s is perfection irrespective of his raspy voice!

    LOL! Hey Amk…you might need to mentor Jim Kramer here. He’s a bit out of control but in the opposite direction:

    His prediction for the election on Tuesday: PBO 55%, EV = 440

      OK, I didn’t know any one could be crazier than me. I predict the President will win 348 EV. I also think he has an outside chance of winning AZ which would raise his EV to 359. Kramer predicting 440 EV for the President is totally crazy. On the other hand, given all the President has done for the country in his four years in office, he should be winning 538 EV and 90% of the popular vote.

    That was a bloody awesome introduction. There’s nothing quite like having a former president campaign on your behalf. Especially when there is a deep bond of respect and admiration between the former and current president.

    I’m cooking right now. What am I cooking? Glad you asked.

    Cuban picadillo. Well, not quite Cuban, as I’m using ground turkey rather than ground beef. Must make accommodation for wifey’s stomach in its current state.

    Cuban black beans.

    And the most perfect white rice that my Cuban mother wishes she could make.

    All washed down with a 3rd glass of quite good Malbec.

      You beat me to it. Yes this is HUGE. You can’t help but wondering about the TIMING of this. We’ll probably never know the whole story, what back channels have been used, who was involved, what countries helped the administration for this.

      One thing I’m sure of: we’re not the only ones who KNOW that Barack Obama is the best man for the presidency at this moment in history…

      He won’t be there magapie – I’m starting to think he will do better than 2008 – some bs talk about the numbers at Mitt’s Colorado rally – that’s right where they can bus in all those Mormons to make a crowd look big.

      He is fake from beginning to end – he will never be President

      And I am amazed – 3 calls on c-span for the President – I’ve never heard that before

    Okay, so, if we needed any more proof that OFA is the most rocking organization E.V.E.R: remember I had some trouble with my FR page earlier, and sent a short note for help to OFA? Didn’t think it would matter much, and wasn’t too concerned cause I could still receive donations… Well, by the time I got to work, did a quick email check while making tea, and Lo! I had a personal message from a staffer asking for a bit more detail, he offered to MANUALLY fix the problem, and guess what? I AM IN! Again! So, with three days to go, I am $333 short of my goal… But one never knows, does one? 🙂 🙂 🙂 https://donate.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/2012/Pamela
