Giddy Fargo Forum Publishes Video Of Barack Obama Speech At Democrat State Convention
Two months after North Dakota’s primary, the state’s Democratic party still managed to attract Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton for the opening day of its convention Friday.
“Some people think the Democrats can’t win in North Dakota, so we shouldn’t put too much time in here,” Obama told a crowd of more than 15,000. “I tell you what, we didn’t fly over North Dakota. We landed.”
Watch the entire speech below. The speech starts about nine minutes into the video, so scrub forward.
You can view the video here. I haven’t watched it. Mostly because I’ve already heard Obama say empty things about “hope” and “change” and don’t really see the point in doing it again while a bunch of smug ND Democrats stand around him as though they’ve accomplished something by bringing this campaign season’s version of George McGovern to the state.
The Republican state convention was this last weekend, but the Fargo Forum couldn’t be bothered to provide any video footage of that event.
Of course, this is the same publication that cast aspersions at Republican House candidate Duane Sand for working for a national (and thus “out of state”) organization like Americans for Prosperity before he was a candidate but never breathes a word about the North Dakota Democrat party getting 80% of its campaign and operating money from out of state.
Fair? Balanced? Objective? Not even a little bit.
