Truth Alert: Watch Barack Obama video where he takes questions yesterday
There's a thread saying that Obama is not taking questions. Oddly, that is from a Hillary supporter. Who would have thought that rumor would spread from someone in her camp?

:shrug:

If you do in fact want to see Barack Obama with a great speech yesterday where he does answer several questions (unplanted) from the crowd, go here:

Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) in Newton, IA (1 hr. 16 min.)

The truth is your friend.

1. He said: I will take "Three quesitons"
Three questions. What the hell are we fighting about? Clinton is walking around talking individually to people. I also saw HER talking audience questioins one-on-one.

This is a STUPID argument. Did she take three? Did she take one? He took more questions than she did--she is so evil cause she did not take three questions.

What. Ever.

3. could it be because he has a busy schedule of campaigning
I'm sure he's for being as open as possible, but he does have to move on to other places. I wouldn't fault a candidate for limiting questions, unless it's obvious they're trying to hide something and it's a question that they've been asked in the past and they're dodging.

6. The point is to STOP a lie about Obama
You pointed out that he took three questions in the video. Is that conflicting with him not taking questions? Yes.

If someone speads a lie about Obama, I will reply with a new thread smashing the teeth out of that thread. Simple.

2. Don't believe Politico they are ReTHUGlicans
Jim the bush pool boy Vanderhei et al are in the tank for Hillary because they think their ReTHUG buddies can beat her.

That explains it.

10. Actually I wrote Olbermann
when the pool boy was on and asked him to disclose that Vandehei's wife was a congressional aide to Tom The most disgusting crook DeLay.
Shortly after that he didn't appear anymore. I am not saying that is why, but hopefully KO realized that Vanderhei's wingnut spewing was bullcrap!

12. Wow, that could have a lot to do with it
I didn't know his wife was DeLay's congressional aide.

Good job informing Keith :thumbsup:

14. When he was at WaPo
We used to give him hell for not disclosing.
He would answer with nasty emails, they even changed his email address, but we would get it and everytime he wrote a wingnut talking points article we would just fill up his email box asking him to disclose. He never did, but now he is at Politico where he doesn't give a crap. But you can see their wimgnut bias all the time!

That's where all of the snark and backbiting needs to be directed right now -

16. Did anyone notice...
after the Newton event. The mics were still on and a woman told Barack that she got a call from Christy Vilsack, former first lady of Iowa. This woman was upset and offended because Mrs. Vilsack basically belittled her on the phone for being an Obama supporter, calling her "Republican Lite."

19. It is sad that
there is a group of people who are advocating for one candidate, who are engaging in serial lying, rather than honest didcussion and debate. Senator Obama is running a very impressive campaign, and the gains he is making are due to his ability to have open and honest communication with citizens.
