The Best of Obama
I wanted to put together a post full of some of my favorite off-the-cuff Youtube moments of Obama on the stump. (Off-the-cuff and on-the-stump mean the same thing, don't they?) He can be a pretty funny and(at times) goofy guy. So, without further ado:
<b>The Best of Obama</b>
"Well, that was the point."-in response to, Did you inhale?
"Well Hillary, I'm looking forward to you advising me as well."-Des Moines Register Debate, in response to Hillary cackling at the Obama question, With so many former Clinton advisors on your staff, how will you make a clean break from the policies of the past?
"They don't put presidents on money until well after. . . you're dead. So I don't want to be on money any time soon."-speaking to a young supporter in Audubon, Iowa
"We're all waiting, just waiting. . . waiting to find out about Harry and Voldemort and all those folks."-on the final Harry Potter book
"I just want to point out, I had no warmups. I did it on a dare--people were skeptical. . . one shot--straight through. That's how you perform under pressure."-after making a 3-pointer at a gym in South Carolina
"See, if I had gone last, I'd have known what the game was. I could've said, 'My biggest weakness. . . I love to help old ladies cross the street! Sometimes they don't want to be helped--it's terrible!'"-in Las Vegas, commenting on Edwards' and Clinton's debate response to the question, What's your biggest weakness?
"I don't know and I don't presume to know. What I do know is, there is life here on Earth, and that we're not attending to life here on Earth. . . as president, those(senior citizens and kids) are the people I will be attending to first. (pause) There may be some other folks on their way."-in response to the Russert question, Do you believe there is life beyond our planet?
"To prepare for this debate, I rode the bumper cars at the state fair."-one of the ABC debates, after 20-minutes of ganging-up on
I know I'm missing some good ones, but these ones stick out in my mind. Look for them on Youtube!
