Once again, Obama is taking what some consider bitter "lemons" and making sweet "lemonade."
I think people are glad to have someone as IN touch with voters as Obama is and this will help him-much to the Clintons' dismay.

The Clinton camp has nothing to run on but hope that Obama will implode. It's so easy to see Obama is by FAR the best candidate and he'll make a GREAT president! Obama is so COOL under fire (not imaginary sniper fire) that I bet Hillary is dreading the debate coming up Wednesday!

6. Yup...
I agree. Hillary's the out-of-touch elitist, thinking she had it tough as a child because her family's summer vacation cottage had no heat. :eyes:

7. Today at the AP speech you could see the weight of the campaign on him
He is taking on one hell of a burden to be president at this time with this economy plus the war. God help him.

8. He looked pretty cool to me...
I think he's handling everything VERY well, and as president, will handle anything that comes along just as well.

9. I have it on the down low....
com'mere don't want this getting out ::whispers:: The Clinton Camp has a scoop that could blow Obama's chances..::leans closer:: Obama has fathered not one, but two black babies...yes, yes, I know. Pick up your jaw, people will see...shhhh shhh...this is on the QT. The Clinton camp is going to use this, the weekend before the PA Primaries...shit, this is going to blow Obama's campaign out of the water.:::

Take heart Hillary supporters, her campaign is in good hands!


Since Hillary is using RW Rovian tricks...could you put this past her?

21. Yeah, right. OK-Obama's an elitist who has NO idea what "regular" people go through.
He just finished paying his student loan, grew up being raised by a single mother and then his grandparents, worked as a community organizer in Chicago, and is suddenly an elitist. :rofl:
