that's it available now - it's down to 2h42 from 7 hours. I'm just about to upload a high quality version of Obama's victory speech, so that should be available in 40 minutes or so

Thanks for all the hard work faceless, your efforts are hugely appreciated!

I can't find the Obama speech link ...

I understand why your hesitant ItzMeRon. Even as I was typing the thread up and making the poll I was wondering what I was doing.....but here's the rub. As Nekokate said "I adore the man...but not blindly" (or similar, quoted from memory so apologies if I've got that wrong) and if someone you have ...

One of his main problems is that he shuns and alienates even those of his followers who call or email in to disagree, such as this Imogen who wrote plainly that she was a big admirer of him. He could have a t least afforded her a bit of R.E.S.P.E.C.T. even if he really did think she was being a bit ...

GG's behaviour on his 16/8/08 show

GG's treatment of his guest, Dr Tamara - the academic invited onto his show to discuss the situation in Georgia, left me cold. I can easily stomach him taking the side of the Russians (and would expect no less when tuning into his show), but the way in which he would vindictively say things to her ...

I read this thread with great interest as I was quite surprised (and shocked) by GG's blunt declamation's on TIbet on that evening a few months back. Was this the GG whose fiery on-air oratory I'd been applauding for months? Sounded more like crackling propaganda spitting out of a PRC party ...
