Obama can do ANGRY
Happy now?

Did anyone else notice how this responds to all the "chicken," "weak," "not tough enough to face the Repugs" epithets, without falling into the trap of railing against Clinton (Angry Black Man beating on poor older white woman)?

I have mixed feelings and no prediction for how this is going to turn out. Obama has basically done exactly what the pundits and Hillary supporters wanted him to, but of course both of those groups will never be happy no matter what he does.

So, maybe he keeps a few of the wavering Obama supporters or wins over some undecideds? It's too early to tell if this will work out in his favor.

Either way, no one can use the "he's not tough" argument anymore.

5. Hillary wouldn't know the difference between tough and desperate if it bit her on the ass.
She IS tough because she IS desperate.

She doesn't fight for YOU or for ME or for AMERICA. She fights for herself and her own selfish ambitions.

Her end is near.

7. No, Hillary PRETENDS to be tough.
She's a complete phony, which is why her negatives are so high.

I think there must be some interference in the tubes.

Your OP made so sense what so ever...how is he not CHICKEN anymore?

(He might actually need that debate in NC.... his lead is down to 5 per SurveyUSA.)

8.  I guess after several times of trying to be tough and failing.. He really had to come out swinging!
GOOD ACTING! He won't get a second chance when the Republicans get a hold of him.. He is still a weak man!
