6. Wow, he congratulated Hillary on her win.
What a class act. Has she EVER uttered those words when he won?

19. Congratulations on your victory, Obama!
Edited on Tue Apr-22-08 10:01 PM by rocknation
Hillary got the win, but you got the victory because you prevented her from getting the 65% of the vote she actually needed--now she'll need AT LEAST 65% of the vote in ALL the remaining contests to get enough pledged delegates to "qualify" for an "exemption" from the superdelegates. That's why you spent so much time, money and effort in PA--your real goal was to prevent her from hitting her "magic number." All she's won is a reprieve on what is now inevitable!

37. You would NEVER know that Hillary was running after Obama's
speech. He pivoted away from her to McCain so well.

40. I got chills
when he said something like "we can make this country the country my father saw across the ocean."
It gave insight into his investment in this race. He's here because his father had a belief in what we are. Now look at us.
