Just saw Obama's former campaign manager point out on Twitter this speech happened exactly 16 years ago...can you imagine any American politician giving it now?
The country has changed a lot since then, and not in a good way.
- that speech would win the election for him againimbecile
- Check Obama talking in Latin, trying too hard mate. Dumb it down a bit. Well, a lot.PhanLo

- I miss having a real leader. Seems so long ago.monospaced
- A real leader who utilised drone strikes on civilians and did nothing about ICE's overreach and abuse, inc. the perennial kids in cages. Yeah, Barry was great.face_melter
- ok face if you want to define him as just that it’s your choicemonospaced
- And the whole letting the bankers off the hook after the financial crisis. That was cool.face_melter
- Yeah I'm not trying to be naive here...of course Obama had bad policies as well and was full of shit in some ways. But looking back, he did achieve importantyuekit
- things... climate change treaty, peace deal with Iran, TPP, not blindly pandering to Israel and Saudi Arabia like Trump.yuekit
- Drinking the water in Flint, sating fuck all about the Dakota pipeline protests and his wife backing out of reducing the amount of chubby kids was also shitty.PhanLo
- When a society is that sick, it's hard to fix, might as well pump it full of morphine and bliss out the last moments.PhanLo
- Wait his wife did what exactly?yuekit
- It's easy to be cynical but I don't think the leftist narrative that Obama was simply a continuation of Bush is accurate.yuekit
- He wasn't nearly radical enough for a lot of people, but by American standards he was basically a communist :)yuekit
- He wasn't progressive, and didn't deliver on 'change', but a big part of the job is to be able to speak. He's a great speaker and I miss that.nuggler
- anyone bitching about obama / flint doesn't care about the truth, probably getting their info from facebook.imbecile
- @Yuekit remember Michelle's let stop the kids being morbidly obese campaign? then she backed out of it because the money people told her to get back in line.PhanLo
- @Imbecile 'I got your back', did fuck all.
https://www.youtube.…PhanLo - Well somehow the school lunch program lasted long enough for Trump to cancel it during his presidencyyuekit

- Ah wee petty Donnie, it's a battle no-one can win really, obesity is the way forward. Maybe when the coming global food shortage comes it help slim em down.PhanLo
- barry can get fucked like all before and after him. 'but he made me feel all warm and fuzzy with his words' are you a bunch of fucking children?kingsteven
- 'he made me richer with a sad face and nice words' it's like trump pulled back the curtain on the wizard of oz and you vote the curtain back.kingsteven
- I don't think anyone is saying that kingsteven...but when you watch the news these days can you really deny that some people need "nice words" to point themyuekit
- in the right direction?yuekit
- i think many americans work towards having a leader that satisfies the conscience and a freedom that validates atrocities by encouraging critique.kingsteven
- trump's america is the real america. and what you consider your freedoms are the PR that let the hypocrisy perpetuate.kingsteven

- will do, thanks.Fax_Benson
- what publication/newspape... you recommend @pr2?Salarrue
- Not that crazy, look at how the 2000 election turned out.yuekit
- lol at pr2 telling someone who probably already slightly distrusts The Grauniad what he shoudl do with his cognitive time.
Of all the people here.Nairn - if pr2 thinks the Graun is a Nat. Enquirer copy I don't think it is Fax's brain that is smooth like a fucking cueball.face_melter

- Are you for real? stop telling people what not to read like a patronising fucker and you should be fine.Fax_Benson
- Are you for real? A place devoted to transparency tells which places use horseshit on to spice up their headlines and you still decided to read them???????pr2
- ??????????????????pr2
- if there is a place to be patronizing, is when a fucker shows handfuls of horse manure (knowing what it is!) into his mouth and is happy about it.pr2
- haha. what a plum.Fax_Benson
- Alternatives:
NPR. (Frontline.) CBC. BBC.nb - There are alternatives? I've only ever read the guardian. Once I've read it I boil it and eat it.Fax_Benson
- Is CNN left media?.... CmonSalarrue
- So based on that "All Sides" site your choices run the gamut all the way from CNN (ultra left) to Fox...yuekit
- Seems a bit limited and America-centric doesn't it?yuekit
- hahaha, america is truly fucked. 'left leaning' they really got the guardian's number there fucking spastics.kingsteven
- all the nuance of critique of their editorial standards for 200 years in the UK vs 'National enquirer style paper, read the BBC' incredible.kingsteven
- i don't read the Guardian often but thank fuck I have the cognitive abilities to decipher opinion from fact.kingsteven

- comment of the day
lolsted - So only about 8-9% not 32% - that's annual rate based on Q2 and other forecasts.
Learn to do Math! And Economics! And statistics!grafician - But not you you guys, the CNN or other news sites...grafician
- Q1 was down 5%, Q2 around 9% from other sourcesgrafician
- "Not annualized, GDP declined by 9.5% in between April and June, or by $1.8 trillion."grafician

The story of the day is that we've just had the worst quarter economically ON RECORD.
The very same day, Trump tweets that he should maybe delay the election, indefinitely. He pins the tweet.
Two things are happening here:
1. Trump is trying to distract attention away from the abysmal economic report. Massive leadership fail, we have the numbers to prove it.
2. Trump figures he's going to lose so he's hoping he can get support to move the election. He has nothing to lose by tweeting this.
Don't be distracted from the truth that everything is fucked in Trump's America. He's made everything worse for us, just like everything else he's touched in his life.

- trump's tactics since "mexicans are rapists" has been escalation and distraction.colin_s
- May I be not so obtuse and ask what metrics define worse quarter? Because I can think of a few metrics that make it look otherwise********
- And also curious why you start with worst quarter on record with no defining terms than jump towards trump tweets...********
- i think i get it. you dont like trump. read a couple msm headlines and felt the desire to repeat them all in self righteous indignation... as social media usual********
- rewards dopamine for. Just know I think you are a perfect example of a soviet useful idiot.********

- Deathboy demands figures from me, but offers none himself. Just empty rhetoric.nb
- Deathboy thinks he knows more about economics than the worlds best economists. He thinks this about many topics. He thinks he’s smarter than everyone.nb
