STUPID 2004 OBAMA SPEECH

TIME TO LIE. GET THIS ONE. WORSE THAN ANYTHING IN HIS INAUGURATION TEAR JERKER.

in no other country on earth, is my story even possible.

AND, EVEN WORSE. I AM MY BROTHER'S KEEPER.


John Kerry believes in America. And he knows that it’s not enough for just some of us to prosper -- for alongside our famous individualism, there’s another ingredient in the American saga, a belief that we’re all connected as one people. If there is a child on the south side of Chicago who can’t read, that matters to me, even if it’s not my child. If there is a senior citizen somewhere who can’t pay for their prescription drugs, and having to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it’s not my grandparent. If there’s an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties.

It is that fundamental belief -- It is that fundamental belief: I am my brother’s keeper. I am my sister’s keeper that makes this country work. It’s what allows us to pursue our individual dreams and yet still come together as one American family.


WELL, BOY HOWDY, THAT IS A CROCK OF STEAMING SHIT. HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE RHETORICAL. SOARING. ITS RUBBISH. ALONGSIDE OUR FAMOUS INDIVIDUALISM IS THE BELIEF THAT WE ARE OUR BROTHERS' KEEPER?? THAT IS A LIE. A PERVERSION OF TRUTH. A STUPID HIGH SOUNDING TURD OF SPEECH. FUCK THAT SHIT.

Through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place, America, that shone as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to so many who had come before..WORKED HARDER THAN ANYONE ELSE. NOT PARTICULARLY BRIGHT, JUST, PERSEVERANT AND HARD WORKING. BUCKLED DOWN MORE THAN ANY BODY ELSE IN HIS LITTLE VILLAGE. FLEW A PIG TO WORK EVERY DAY. FUCK THIS GODDAMNED SHIT.

People don’t expect -- People don't expect government to solve all their problems. But they sense, deep in their bones, that with just a slight change in priorities, we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life, and that the doors of opportunity remain open to all.


What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility -
- a recognition, on the part of every American,

YOU IRRESPONSIBLE AMERICANS

honesty and hard work, courage and fair play,
tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism
YOU NEED TO RETURN TO THESE VALUES

That is the true genius of America, a faith -- a faith in simple dreams, an insistence on small miracles; that we can tuck in our children at night and know that they are fed and clothed and safe from harm; that we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door; that we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe; that we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution.


I’m not talking about blind optimism here -- the almost willful ignorance that thinks unemployment will go away if we just don’t think about it, or the health care crisis will solve itself if we just ignore it. That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about something more substantial. It’s the hope of slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs; the hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores; the hope of a young naval lieutenant bravely patrolling the Mekong Delta; WHO MARRIED A BILLIONAIRE, the hope of a millworker’s son who dares to defy the odds; WHAT ODDS. VOTED MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED? the hope of a skinny kid with a funny name AND A 150 IQ who believes that America has a place for him, too.




THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

Hope -- Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope!

I believe that we have a righteous wind at our backs and that as we stand on the crossroads of history, we can make the right choices, and meet the challenges that face us.



America! Tonight, if you feel the same energy that I do, if you feel the same urgency that I do, if you feel the same passion that I do, if you feel the same hopefulness that I do -- if we do what we must do, then I have no doubt that all across the country, from Florida to Oregon, from Washington to Maine, the people will rise up in November..

rise up YES WE CAN. CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. I AM MY BROTHER'S KEEPER, EXCEPT MY ACTUAL OWN BROTHER, WHO I WOULDN'T LEND A HELPING HAND TO.




People don’t expect -- People don't expect government to solve all their problems. But they sense, deep in their bones, that with just a slight change in priorities, we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life, and that the doors of opportunity remain open to all.

REALLY. IS THAT WHAT MAKES A DEMOCRAT? IS THAT WHAT WE THINK??



I am my brother’s keeper. I am my brother’s keeper. I am my brother’s keeper.


That is the true genius of America, a faith -- a faith in simple dreams, an insistence on small miracles; that we can tuck in our children at night and know that they are fed and clothed and safe from harm; that we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door; that we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe; that we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution.

SUDDEN KNOCK ON THE DOOR?? WHERE IS THAT? ONLY IN AMERICA ARE WE SAFE FROM A SUDDEN KNOCK ON THE DOOR??? IS HE OUT OF HIS MIND?!!

in a tolerant America

in a generous America

I’m not talking about blind optimism here -- the almost willful ignorance that thinks unemployment will go away if we just don’t think about it, or the health care crisis will solve itself if we just ignore it. That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about something more substantial. It’s the hope of slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs; the hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores; the hope of a young naval lieutenant bravely patrolling the Mekong Delta; the hope of a millworker’s son who dares to defy the odds; the hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him, too. COURSE IT HELPS IF HE HAS A 170 IQ. OR, LIKE JOHN EDWARDS, WAS THE CUTEST BOY IN HIS GRADUATING CLASS. HOPE. FOR THE SHMOES, THE LESSER SHMOES WHO DON'T HAVE A CHANCE. BUT THEY CAN HOAPE AND THEY BELIECVE. AND THEY CAN VOTE, WITH AUACIOUS, SUPID HOPOE, DRIVING THEM ONWAY ONWARD AND UPWARD. RUN IT UP THE FLAG.... RUNI IT UP THE FLAG AND SEE WHO SALUTES IT!





In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation. A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead.

I believe that we can give our middle class relief and provide working families with a road to opportunity.

I believe we can provide jobs to the jobless, homes to the homeless, and reclaim young people in cities across America from violence and despair.

I believe that we have a righteous wind at our backs and that as we stand on the crossroads of history, we can make the right choices, and meet the challenges that face us.

America! Tonight, if you feel the same energy that I do, if you feel the same urgency that I do, if you feel the same passion that I do, if you feel the same hopefulness that I do -- if we do what we must do, then I have no doubt that all across the country, from Florida to Oregon, from Washington to Maine, the people will rise up in November, and John Kerry will be sworn in as President, and John Edwards will be sworn in as Vice President, and this country will reclaim its promise, and out of this long political darkness a brighter day will come.

THIS SPEECH STINKS. ITS GOT NOTHING IN IT BUT PLATITUDES.


In the end -- In the end -- In the end, that’s what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or do we participate in a politics of hope? DON'T VOTE FOR BUSH. HE IS CYNICAL. HE WANTS YOU TO SLEEP ON THE FLOOR. TUCK YOU CHILDREN INTO A DUMPSTER.




fundamental belief -- It is that fundamental belief: I am my brother’s keeper. I am my sister’s keeper that makes this country work. It’s what allows us to pursue our individual dreams and yet still come together as one American family.

E pluribus unum: "Out of many, one

OH, NOT MY BROTHER GEORGE THOUGH. FUCK HIM. HE'S JUST A HALF SIB ANYWAY.

I am my brother’s keeper. I am my brother’s keeper. I am my brother’s keeper. I am my brother’s keeper. I am my brother’s keeper.
I am my brother’s keeper. I am my brother’s keeper. I am my brother’s keeper.

we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe;

NO SIR, ONLY IN AMERICA CAN WE START A BUSINESS WITHOUT PAYING A BRIBE, UNLESS YOU LIVE IN NEW JERSEY.. BUT IN SWEDEN? GOD, ITS LIKE IMPOSSIBLE TO THRIVE THERE BECASUE OF CRIME AND PAYOFFS AND EVERYTHING.

AMERICA IS JUST A ZILLION TIMES BETTER THAN ANY OTHER PLACE ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH. A GAZILLION TIMES BETTER. THE BESTEST.

an insistence on small miracles; that we can tuck in our children at night and know that they are fed and clothed and safe from harm;NOT LIKE FINLAND. OR ENGLAND, WHERE EVERYONE SLEEPS IN FEAR, ON THE FLOOR, OUTDOORS, BECAUSE THEY LACK AN INSISTENCE ON SMALL MIRACLES.

THAT IS THE FUCKING STUPIDEST THING I EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE..\
\
we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door;
FINLAND, ENALAND, ITALY, THEY HAVE NO SUCH DREAMS. NO SUCJH SMALL MIRACLES. THEY , WHY STALIN IS EVEYWHERE BUT HERE,K AND WHY, BECAUSE WE DARE TO DREAM THE IMPSSIBLE, CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN, PICK OURSELVES AND DUST OURSELVES OFF AND START ALL OVER AGAIN THEY. WHY IF THEY DID THAT IN FINLAND, AND ALL THOSE OTHER IDEAL-LESS NATIONS, WHY IT WOULD BE , LIKE THROWING FOOD ON THEIR FAMILIES. THEN THE QUESTION IS OUR CHILDREN LEARNING WOULD NEVER HAVE TO BE AXED.

HERE'S SOME RHETORIC; We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.


MY INTOLERANCE FOR ALL OTHER NATIONS IS PROFOUD THAT I SAY HERE, STUPIDIST THING YOU COULD IMAGINE. HERE IT IS FOLKS. DON'T HATE FOR IT. THEY MADE ME SAY THIS.
in no other country on earth, is my story even possible.
in no other country on earth, is my story even possible
in no other country on earth, is my story even possible

(CHOIR OF ANGELS)
STUPID FUCK.

WITH HEY NONY NONY NONY LA LA LA LA

AND YET, THERE IS MORE PLAIN DUMB BULLSHIT. LOOK AT THIS.


That is the true genius of America, a faith -- a faith in simple dreams,
Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our Nation -- not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness


WHAT OTHER NATION BELIEVES THAT!?? DOES CANADA BELIEVE PEOPLE SHOULD BE HAPPY?
(CROWD CHANTING. NO! NO! NO!)

WHAT OTHER NATION HAS EVER HAD SUCH STERLING EXCEPTIONAL IDEALS? FRANCE

(NO, OBAMA, NO)

ENLAND?? SPAIN? PERU? ITALY? FINLAND???!

(NO. NONE OF THEM ARE EVEN HUMAN. WE HATE THEM. THEY ARE NATIONS OF FUCK HOLES,

And yet, I know that on this night they look down on me with great pride.. I BELIEVE. (ECHO EFFECT)

an improbable love
They imagined -- They imagined me going to the best schools in the land,
They would give me an African name, Barack, or ”blessed,”
WE SHALL HARNESS THE WINDS. the best schools in the land,
the best schools in the land,
I AM AMERICA AND SO CAN YOU., (THANK YOU THANK YOU, PLEASE, )
BORN IN A TOWN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD!!!!

in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success.
in a generous America you don’t have to be rich to achieve your potential.
OR IN SPAIN EITHER FOR THAT MATTER. FUCK HOLE.

Barack Obama

2004 Democratic National Convention Keynote Address



Through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place, America, that shone as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to so many who had come before. HIS 150 IQ HAD NOTHING TO WITH TO DO WITH IT. HARRK AND PERSERVEERANCE, AND A NEGRO CAN BE WHATEVER THE FUCK.

WITH HEY NONY NONY NONY LA LA LA LA

While studying here, my father met my mother. She was born in a town on the other side of the world, in Kansas.

WHAT SOARING RHETORICE3. I CAN SEE THEIR PEE PEES. SHE WAS BORN INT A TOWN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD!!!!




Her father worked on oil rigs and farms through most of the Depression. WHAT A TERRIBLE THING. SUCH WOIK. THANKS GOD I NEVER HAD TO LOWER MY NEGRO SELF TO SUCH PERIL AND DESBASEMENT.
(THAT'S THE PART OF THE BUILDING UNDER YOUR HOUSE, DEBASEMENT)


The day after Pearl Harbor my grandfather signed up for duty; joined Patton’s army, marched across Europe. HE MARCH AND HE MARCHED AAND HED MARCHED. LUCKY I DIDN'T HAVE TO BE DRAFTED.


Back home, my grandmother raised a baby


(TO THE TUNE OF I'M IN A LEAGUE OF MY OWN WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING SPEECHES)


Back home, my grandmother raised a
and went to work on a bomber assembly line



After the war, they studied on the G.I. Bill, bought a house through F.H.A., and later moved west all the way to Hawaii in search of opportunity.

And they, too, had big dreams for their daughter. A common dream, born of two continents.

My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation.


AND , IN THEMSELVES??? IN THEIR TALENT?? WHAT COLOR WERE THEY. NEGRO COLORED?? FUCK THIS SHIT.



They would give me an African name, Barack, or ”blessed,”



believing FOLISHLY that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success. STUDIES SHOW THAT LASHANDA'S DO WORSE THAN LAURA"S. ITS THE TRUTH. WHY DOES THIS GUY VEER FROM THE TRUTH.

They imagined -- They imagined me going to the best schools in the land, even though they weren’t rich, because in a generous America you don’t have to be rich to achieve your potential.

They're both passed away now. And yet, I know that on this night they look down on me with great pride.

They stand here -- And I stand here today, grateful for the diversity of my heritage, aware that my parents’ dreams live on in my two precious daughters. I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story, that I owe a debt to all of those who came before me, and that, in no other country on earth, is my story even possible.

Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our Nation -- not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That is the true genius of America, a faith -- a faith in simple dreams, an insistence on small miracles; that we can tuck in our children at night and know that they are fed and clothed and safe from harm; that we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door; that we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe; that we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution, and that our votes will be counted -- at least most of the time.

This year, in this election we are called to reaffirm our values and our commitments, to hold them against a hard reality and see how we're measuring up to the legacy of our forbearers and the promise of future generations.

And fellow Americans, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, I say to you tonight: We have more work to do -- more work to do for the workers I met in Galesburg, Illinois, who are losing their union jobs at the Maytag plant that’s moving to Mexico, and now are having to compete with their own children for jobs that pay seven bucks an hour; more to do for the father that I met who was losing his job and choking back the tears, wondering how he would pay 4500 dollars a month for the drugs his son needs without the health benefits that he counted on; more to do for the young woman in East St. Louis, and thousands more like her, who has the grades, has the drive, has the will, but doesn’t have the money to go to college.

Now, don’t get me wrong. The people I meet -- in small towns and big cities, in diners and office parks -- they don’t expect government to solve all their problems. They know they have to work hard to get ahead, and they want to. Go into the collar counties around Chicago, and people will tell you they don’t want their tax money wasted, by a welfare agency or by the Pentagon. Go in -- Go into any inner city neighborhood, and folks will tell you that government alone can’t teach our kids to learn; they know that parents have to teach, that children can’t achieve unless we raise their expectations and turn off the television sets and eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book is acting white. They know those things.

People don’t expect -- People don't expect government to solve all their problems. But they sense, deep in their bones, that with just a slight change in priorities, we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life, and that the doors of opportunity remain open to all.

They know we can do better. And they want that choice.

In this election, we offer that choice. Our Party has chosen a man to lead us who embodies the best this country has to offer. And that man is John Kerry.

John Kerry understands the ideals of community, faith, and service because they’ve defined his life. From his heroic service to Vietnam, to his years as a prosecutor and lieutenant governor, through two decades in the United States Senate, he's devoted himself to this country. Again and again, we’ve seen him make tough choices when easier ones were available.

His values and his record affirm what is best in us. John Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded; so instead of offering tax breaks to companies shipping jobs overseas, he offers them to companies creating jobs here at home.

John Kerry believes in an America where all Americans can afford the same health coverage our politicians in Washington have for themselves.

John Kerry believes in energy independence, so we aren’t held hostage to the profits of oil companies, or the sabotage of foreign oil fields.

John Kerry believes in the Constitutional freedoms that have made our country the envy of the world, and he will never sacrifice our basic liberties, nor use faith as a wedge to divide us.

And John Kerry believes that in a dangerous world war must be an option sometimes, but it should never be the first option.

You know, a while back -- awhile back I met a young man named Shamus in a V.F.W. Hall in East Moline, Illinois. He was a good-looking kid -- six two, six three, clear eyed, with an easy smile. He told me he’d joined the Marines and was heading to Iraq the following week. And as I listened to him explain why he’d enlisted, the absolute faith he had in our country and its leaders, his devotion to duty and service, I thought this young man was all that any of us might ever hope for in a child.

But then I asked myself, "Are we serving Shamus as well as he is serving us?"

I thought of the 900 men and women -- sons and daughters, husbands and wives, friends and neighbors, who won’t be returning to their own hometowns. I thought of the families I’ve met who were struggling to get by without a loved one’s full income, or whose loved ones had returned with a limb missing or nerves shattered, but still lacked long-term health benefits because they were Reservists.

When we send our young men and women into harm’s way, we have a solemn obligation not to fudge the numbers or shade the truth about why they’re going, to care for their families while they’re gone, to tend to the soldiers upon their return, and to never ever go to war without enough troops to win the war, secure the peace, and earn the respect of the world.

Now -- Now let me be clear. Let me be clear. We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued. And they must be defeated. John Kerry knows this. And just as Lieutenant Kerry did not hesitate to risk his life to protect the men who served with him in Vietnam, President Kerry will not hesitate one moment to use our military might to keep America safe and secure.

John Kerry believes in America. And he knows that it’s not enough for just some of us to prosper -- for alongside our famous individualism, there’s another ingredient in the American saga, a belief that we’re all connected as one people. If there is a child on the south side of Chicago who can’t read, that matters to me, even if it’s not my child. If there is a senior citizen somewhere who can’t pay for their prescription drugs, and having to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it’s not my grandparent. If there’s an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties.

It is that fundamental belief -- It is that fundamental belief: I am my brother’s keeper. I am my sister’s keeper that makes this country work. It’s what allows us to pursue our individual dreams and yet still come together as one American family.

E pluribus unum: "Out of many, one."

Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us -- the spin masters, the negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of "anything goes." Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America -- there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America -- there’s the United States of America.

The pundits, the pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. But I’ve got news for them, too. We worship an "awesome God" in the Blue States, and we don’t like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and yes, we’ve got some gay friends in the Red States. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.

In the end -- In the end -- In the end, that’s what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or do we participate in a politics of hope? DON'T VOTE FOR BUSH. HE IS CYNICAL. HE WANTS YOU TO SLEEP ON THE FLOOR. TUCK YOU CHILDREN INTO A DUMPSTER.

John Kerry calls on us to hope. John Edwards calls on us to hope.

I’m not talking about blind optimism here -- the almost willful ignorance that thinks unemployment will go away if we just don’t think about it, or the health care crisis will solve itself if we just ignore it. That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about something more substantial. It’s the hope of slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs; the hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores; the hope of a young naval lieutenant bravely patrolling the Mekong Delta; the hope of a millworker’s son who dares to defy the odds; the hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him, too.

Hope -- Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope!

In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation. A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead.

I believe that we can give our middle class relief and provide working families with a road to opportunity.

I believe we can provide jobs to the jobless, homes to the homeless, and reclaim young people in cities across America from violence and despair.

I believe that we have a righteous wind at our backs and that as we stand on the crossroads of history, we can make the right choices, and meet the challenges that face us.

America! Tonight, if you feel the same energy that I do, if you feel the same urgency that I do, if you feel the same passion that I do, if you feel the same hopefulness that I do -- if we do what we must do, then I have no doubt that all across the country, from Florida to Oregon, from Washington to Maine, the people will rise up in November, and John Kerry will be sworn in as President, and John Edwards will be sworn in as Vice President, and this country will reclaim its promise, and out of this long political darkness a brighter day will come.

Thank you very much everybody. God bless you. Thank you.
