What Will Obama Say First??

betplom · 01-19-09, 05:03 PM

I know the word "banana" is high on the list.

If I had to take a guess I'd say he'd use one of these words first:

Welcome, Hello, America.

As I stand here today: 12-1
We cannot lose hope: 25-1
Challenges that face us: 25-1

If it would be John McCain it would be much easier = My Friends

I would say 1-100 on "My Friends" for John McCain lol

"Thankyou" is a slam dunk. In fact, what's the O/U on how many times he'll have to say "thankyou" before everyone sits down and shuts up. He'll probably get like a 20 minute standing ovation when he takes the stage.

Paddy Power is letting you bet on the first thing that Obama would say and more than that. If you guys know something please share, it's starting with odds of 8-1 so maybe it's worth a shot!!

Agreed but I don't see it as an option there

Remeber this isnt what he will say first, its out of these quotes which he will say first, not the very first words out of his mouth

jayc88 · 01-20-09, 02:45 AM

check out his speech videos in youtube, most of the times he came with a blue tie but few times with red.

Fiasco · 01-20-09, 04:06 AM

"They said this day would never come"

jjgold · 01-20-09, 05:36 AM

This Obama thing is a nice gimmick and I will go along with it for a while until usa crashes like it will.

I hope he pays tribute to the late, great Cleavon Little as Black Bart in Blazing Saddles..."Hey, where are the white women at?"

Dark Horse · 01-20-09, 12:01 PM

'My fellow Americans'.

He'll start out simple, and then give an inspiring eloquent delivery.

Chi_archie · 01-20-09, 12:04 PM

Friends, Americans, countrymen Lend me your ears

ryanspeer2001 · 01-20-09, 12:05 PM

"My fellow Americans..."

"Good afternoon..."

either of those seem like locks for the intro.

Chi_archie · 01-20-09, 12:07 PM

thank you or wow

It may be debated because his first words were "Thank you, thank you." But that was more of a response to the crowd. The first words of his speech were "My fellow citizens..."

Iwinyourmoney · 01-20-09, 12:21 PM

it doesnt matter the very 1st words for this bet it matters what phrase was said first out of the choices

Bread · 01-20-09, 12:21 PM

I love Cleavon Little!

"Excuse me while I whip this out!"

crisp · 01-20-09, 12:26 PM

"the black people are taking over"

Willie Bee · 01-20-09, 12:28 PM

"They said you was hung."

"And they was right."
