Obama is sending out a very passive aggressive message. I don't know how to fight, I'm too nice to b
bothered. By the time we get to Denver, Obama will be considered a wimp and trying to accommodate. Not a good way to go into the convention.

1. Somehow The Wimp Is Kicking The RageQueen's Butt
Sometimes being even-keeled and taking the high road pays off.

32. Remenber When Obama Was Down By 30 Points?
Me, I'm not awfully worried that Obama can beat a guy running to give Bush a third term.

I guess we'll see.

2. It neuters Hillary's victim card. That's why she's changing tact to "Rocky"

23. It not unusual for a "Nell" to switch into a "Dudley Doright" role ...
... after so many videos show her tying herself to the train tracks. :evilgrin:

3. It's awesome watching Democrats merrily participate in the republican strategy...
.... of feminizing Democratic men. From "bowls like a girl" to being a "wimp".

Boy - who needs republicans when you have DUers?

7. Obama has run a brilliant campaign that will be discussed, studied and debated
for many years.

I'd worry more about the fact that Obama will go to convention with enough delegates to win and Hillary won't, than whether Obama will be anything less than amazing.

Hillay supporters still don't understand.

It's over, even if Hillary hasn't told you yet.

28. I do not think History will be kind to BO especially with the race-baiting issue--its
stating to leak out already.

34. and with Hillary's flunkie flagging the Wright thing in SD's faces
and BIllo railing at SD, I don't think history will be interested in OBama, other than how he won.

8. It looks like he is playing nice to keep the SD on his side. His pledged delegate lead is
insurmountable.

13. Have you ever tried to tear down someone...
...who is dignified, poised, and likable?

It's pretty tough.

Give obama credit for knowing how to deal with one of the most low-down, vapid,
down-in-the-dirt politicians ever.

It's a total good-triumphs-over-evil story.

I love it.

14. This is rediculous. Obama knows how to fight wonderfully. Just ask Hillary...
That Obama can do so while keeping a public persona of being a sweet nice guy who'd never say anything mean is just yet another tribute to his abilities. Obama is kicking her ass in the tactics game, and has been ever since South Carolina.

15. You call it passive aggressive
I call it being even keeled and unflappable. He is being very careful to stay above the fray and appear "presidential." He is also trying not to alienate the Clinton supporters we will need in the fall.

...with interracial parents, and your first name Barack- I think you probably learn to handle yourself.

22. Funny, I seem to remember him trading punches with Edwards,
in the weeks before Iowa, very effectively. Effective enough to WIN Iowa, when Edwards was expected to.

Interesting how he keeps winning other peoples' sure things.

Obama doesn't live in the sewer like your precious queen. He doesn't need to turn himself into a screeching banshee to make a point.

Edited on Wed Apr-02-08 06:47 AM by 1776Forever
She is going to use anything he says against her not continuing in the race or her big white lies or anything and she will run with it and call him biased against women! I think he is smart like a fox, step back and let her go at it. People are seeing the truth now.



It's almost April 15 Hillary!
