Talk:Barack Obama/Archive1

This America vs. That America
When I was a kid, I had an idea of what America was. I liked that idea. Ignorace truly is bliss. But, I'm a rational and intelligent human being and ignorance is abhorant to me. Still, I miss That America. Fictional though it may be, I miss it. After Iowa tonight, though, I have new hope that That America can overcome This America. --Edgerunner  76 22:24, 3 January 2008 (EST)

God
Don't muslims believe in god as well, and so inserting god into his speaches has no bearing what so ever. I think Muslims are ...(static)... &mdash; Unsigned, by: Alien / talk / contribs
 * Yeah, but they call it "Allah". Pretty consistently. human  22:28, 12 January 2008 (EST)
 * Allah is simply the Arabic word for "The Lord." Arabic speaking Christians and Jews refer to God as Allah as well.  Muslims believe in the God of Abraham.  Stile4aly 00:24, 13 January 2008 (EST)
 * I know that to us outsiders, they all praze the saim Lawd, but a Muslim would always say "Allah" in English, right? Or... OMGZDZ!!1112121!!2eleventyseven!!!!11!1  Obama is a mole sent to tear the USA asunder!!!! human  01:04, 13 January 2008 (EST)

I made a Mii of Barack Obama. Just thought I'd throw that out there. 03:44, 12 February 2008 (EST)
 * You made a... what-now? Damn kids and their incomprehensible ... -- AKjeldsen Godspeed! 04:27, 12 February 2008 (EST)
 * I made a Mii on Wii that looks like Barack because Ii think Hii is awseome. Ii support him over Hillarii but Ii think anyone would bii better than Huckabii. 22:51, 12 February 2008 (EST)
 * Shouldn't the first person singular me spelled "iI"? (I tried to add that to addictionary.com, but the whore is as bad as mediawiki when it comes to initcaps) human  00:28, 13 February 2008 (EST)

IV pathos
Okay so it is looking like Obama is going to be the nominee and as such I will be working to support him over McCain. But I am having a hard time embracing this guy. Obama is for "change","hope", and "unity"........okay but what does that mean? I listen to his speeches and the only thing I can use to describe them is IV pathos. I am all about rhetoric and feel that pathos certainly has its place in any debate, but for a future president you expect a lot more. Is there more to this guy then the ability to create a nearly religious "movement"? I don't want to feel like I have to plug my nose and choke back the kool-aid before I see what is so great....any Obama supporters out there want to convince me? 17:30, 24 February 2008 (EST)
 * He's my third choice (after K & E). I think that if anyone can create a (religious?) "movement" in the Democratic party, that's a good thing - movement conservatism, after all, is what has torn this country down for almost 30 years.  He makes people feel like something might actually get better and change - meaning that, maybe, the rest of the Dems will feel some pressure to "get in line" for a bit and work with the "movement" rather than run around like chickens with their heads cut off (like they did after the '06 election tidal wave).  By the way, how close is he to a clinch?  There's a lot of anti-Obama floating around now that he is pulling ahead, that's for sure. human  18:52, 24 February 2008 (EST)
 * I understand that is what he does...but what does it mean pathos only goes so far......we will no come March 4th for sure but if polls hold up he wins. 20:47, 24 February 2008 (EST)
 * His speeches run more towards inspirational, I think. No bore, good draw. The "details" are probably at his web site -  Kennedy  King  The Second Coming Obama08 dot com, or some such. human  21:11, 24 February 2008 (EST)
 * It means that he has the same positions as Hillary, but will bring more Change. No, I don't know either. -All Hail Tuna 05:02, 21 April 2008 (EDT)
