Obama: I'm A Leader — Just Look At My Campaign
By Eric Kleefeld - February 12, 2008, 1:32AM

During his interview tonight with ABC/The Politico, Barack Obama argued that despite his lack of executive experience, you can tell what kind of leader he is from the campaign that he's run so far. Furthermore, he clearly contrasted his team's steadiness and stability with the recent staff shake-ups in the Hillary camp:

"But on the broader issue of executive experience, it is true that most of my experience has been in the legislative role. That is true of all the candidates remaining in the field, except for Gov. Huckabee, who remains.
"But keep in mind – if you look for example – at how I’ve conducted this campaign – I started from scratch, and was up against an operation that had been built over the course of 20 years by a former president, with the bulk of the Democratic establishment on their side. And after setting up a hundred-million-plus dollar operation, with hundreds of employees across the country, it looks like we’ve played them to a draw so far.

"I think that gives you some sense of how we run a campaign, There hasn’t been a lot of drama in my campaign. You haven’t seen a lot of turnover in my campaign. And the culture of my campaign is one in which I think everybody feels a great sense of ownership."

2. there is someone else who has staked claims to being a leader ...

he sits in the oval office right now. what a dismal leader he has been ... and what a carbon copy of a leader obama promises to be! squeal, whine, deny and complain.

squeal when he feels people are stepping on his toes.
whine when he doesn't like facts being cited.
deny the push and pull of the race fact and blame the clintons for the fact that there is a race fact.
and complain ...

he got the bush book on politics downpat to a tee.

I've heard it all coming out of the Hillary campaign and Hillary supporters. Project much?

6. WTF? I have people who tell me what to do and say so

that is the indication of what i can do? I am a leader because i have good campaign managers? Fuck shit damn another "Pass" for Obama. Will this man EVER EVER EVER tell me what he is going to do for America instead of telling me about breathing?

Here is a catchy phrase from my grandma that might interest you Obama folks. "Shit in one and and hope in the other. See which one gets full faster."

If all he can offer is a well run campaign and some breathing info the our country which is in grave peril anyway is doomed.
