Obama generates cheers, boos at Duncanville rally

Email Print Tell us your story Comments (23)

Stating his support of a crackdown on employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens, Senator Barack Obama spoke on topics ranging from immigration policy to Hillary Clinton to George W. Bush on Wednesday (Feb. 27), as he addressed a crowd of supporters packed into a Duncanville school gymnasium.

Obama mostly garnered cheers during his speech, but at one point generated a round of boos - noting that, after the handover of the presidency, George W. would be coming back to Texas.

I'm curious as to why Bush AND Cheney feel the need to move to Dallas. One of them is bad enough.

Damn it, don't tempt me into making an inappropriate joke this early in the morning!

Okay, this is cleaner:

Knowing this pair is coming to Dallas reminds me of the old days in San Francisco when you would get a call from the Free Clinic...that someone you have slept with had gonorrhea and syphilis.

Taking cheap shots at Bush is easy and unintelligent.

It's easy but I don't know about unintelligent.

It's not about right vs. left, it is about civil discourse.

which in case you hadn't noticed, isn't really something that applies to discussing politicians.

If you want to change things it has to start somewhere.

I am only taking a cue from B. Obama who (it seems) wants to take the high road.

I don't think any of us feel any need to take a particularly high road with regard to Mr. Bush, whom many of us regard as emblematic of the worst kind of people in charge of the most powerful institutions affecting our daily lives. Perhaps if he had dealt with the American people honestly from the beginning he'd be treated better; instead he's squandered any goodwill or benefit of the doubt that most evil, baby hating, secular humanists would be willing to extend.

just trying a little civil discourse...I guess you're willing to criticize others for not engaging, but not willing to engage yourself. typical republican...

First I am Libertarian, not Republican. Second I am very willing to engage on issues and policy, but not argumentum ad hominem.

Please: A moratorium on 2007's 'in' expression 'ad hominem'. Otherwise I will scream like Rick Perry (about gay Boy Scouts).

I miss the good old days when 'ad hominem' was thought to me a kind of seasonal candied corn sold in third world countries to vacationing liberals. Or a feminist denunciation of male advertisers.

Like 2006's word 'gravitas'. That was once a cheap French sauce but Matt Lauer used it to describe the fight between Rosie O' Donnell and Star Jones and the rest became com-box history.

"Fool!," bobdon000. "You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

The most famous is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well known is this: 'Never go in against an Avatar when wit is on the line.'"

Rawlie: A little history lesson is due you.

It was 2000 (for the 2001 elections) not 2006, when the word "gravitas" became over-used.

Mostly by media types to describe George Bush, although the Republican party used it frequently to ascribe the foreign policy experience of Dick Cheney.
