Hillary's Speech Sucks

She has spent a bunch of time mocking Obama, and sounding like she actually has a chance to win the nomination. She doesn't. She won two out of the last 15. It is like watching a boxer still think they have a chance after be pounded round after round. Unless Don King is in charge of the nominating process Hillary is done.

Now she is talking about the broke person who gave her money. How about Hillary's rich self sending her some money.

She is really not good at the this speech stuff. Yes We Will? WTF is that nonsense?

•  Tip me, sucka!

  Her speech still sucks, but at least she is getting airtime unlike when she got cut into last time.

•  Was it my imagination, or was that the most

  patently false audience ever?

  What kind of audience shouts out a WEBSITE ADDRESS.

  And "Yes She Will?" Holy cow....

  •  she likes...

    things rehearsed.

•  she thanked Bill

  ...for keeping his yap shut, I'm sure.

•  I have to put the mute on

  I just can't listen to her anymore. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard. Whatever. She's done. The math is the math.

  •  I couldn't watch her

    she has replaced Bush for me as far as shouting and throwing things at the television.

•  Under 100 words

  Brevity is sometimes the soul of wit. But it also sometimes connotes a piece of shit.

    people suck at giving a speech.

      •  I should hope so

        by jbou on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 08:41:19 PM PDT

•  It's like fingernails on a chalkboard

  I really really really can't stand listening to her.  It's not her voice, it's the bullshit she's spouting.  It's unbelievable that anybody's gullible enough to believe the transparently false and hypocritical nonsense she's spinning.

•  It takes a well-organized

  brain to give a good speech.  It takes a multi-layered thinker to give one as good as Obama.

•  I have to agree

  Like fingernails on a blackboard.

•  Florida and Michigan

  I could win those states if my opponents are not on the ballot or don't campaign.

  It is not good to keep repeating victories that her own people did not sanction!

•  How is this helpful?

  This is an idiotic, antagonistic, childish open thread comment masquerading as a diary. Delete.

    by jbou on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 08:42:07 PM PDT

•  She lifts themes and phrases . . .

  and then accuses Obama of "plagiarism".  Wow.

  by NotGeorgeWill on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 08:40:02 PM PDT

•  I could have told you that all of that.

  And I didn't even listen to the speech.

•  Just a reminder for the "Comeback Kid"...

  Jan. 2007, Time magazine...

  Despite the buzz generated by Senator Barack Obama entering the race, the survey found that Senator Clinton would beat him for the Democratic nomination by a margin of 40% to 21%. Senator John Edwards is a distant third with 11%. Obama clearly suffers a disadvantage in profile among likely voters, with only 51% indicating that they knew enough about him to form an opinion, compared with 94% saying the same of Hillary Clinton.

•  She used a SPRINGSTEEN song after her speech

  The song is LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS
  I am a major Bruce fan and love this song
  I suspect Hillary used it tonight to zing Obama because he recently said the one person he would like to meet is Bruce Springsteen.

  She is totally annoying the heck out of me right now.

  What was with the confetti? Has she self-annointed herself the winner of the nomination? Obama wins 12 in a row and she never once called to concede a loss. But tonight? She's strutting her stuff and acting as Obama's numbers and adoration do not exist. Feh on her.

•  HRC "Wins" after playing dirty

  The bad taste in everyone's mouth tonight is from watching Team Clinton celebrate after using deplorable Rovian campaign tactics.

  If Hillary can't win on merit, is it really a victory?

  by Ditch Mitch KY on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 08:46:39 PM PDT

  •  well

    I have looked back on all of our Presidential campaigns and winning on your merits is not how it is done. Obama better be ready for a fight over the next 9 months.

•  You suck

  Her speech was a gem compared to the lame one given by Barack tonight.

  by formernadervoter on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 08:50:36 PM PDT

  •  really?

    You honestly think her mocking tone was better than Obama's great inspirational speech.

    by jbou on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 08:53:00 PM PDT

•  Really, I listened to Hillary

  and I am listening to Barack and I thought they were both great!!!

  •  come on

    You are that person who tells the host the food is great even if you know the host mistook the salt for sugar.

    by jbou on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 08:54:25 PM PDT

    •  No I have been consistent on this...

      for a while now...I like both candidates and my tag line says it all...they both have different styles and complimentary skill sets that would be now I believe the only way to beat John McCain in November...Together...as much as it pains the hyper-candidate supporters that is the only way...
