Obama v2.0
No doubt that we saw a different Barack Obama tonight. One that was fet up with the Clinton distortions on his record. One that felt the support of the black community in South Carolina at his back. One that felt the spirit of MLK at his side. If Hillary found her voice in New Hampshire then Barack Obama found his tonight in South Carolina.

I think with two weeks left until Feb 5th where two dozen states will vote we will continue to see an Obama that can now merge the vision and the hope with the fighter and the man that is not going to let the Clintons get away with any more shit. I think the losses in New Hampshire and the perceived loss in Nevada were hard but necessary blows for him to take. He definately reached down and pulled out a part of him that we havent seen before. A side that many of his supporters and media pundits were begging for months ago when people werent even paying attention.

No doubt tonight Obama let us know, this thing is going 15 rounds.

11. What debate were you watching
I saw a man who was sick of the bs politics of the Clintons. And seeing as how Hillary was the one getting booed, I would say he did just fine.

2. I didn't see
the debate but I read an Obama supporter's words that went like.."I haven't seen this side of Obama yet."

It was early on and I didn't know what to expect?

5. Obama showed toughness that I wasn't sure he had.

He's got it in him. Now he's got to keep showing it. Hope doesn't have to come without fire.

8. He's already on the ropes in round 2.
He's having to defend himself about stuff that he chose to spout off about. Nobody forced him to eulogize reagan. He can't prove the Nevada stuff one way or the other. They have him on the run & he's getting nervous & it shows. He's going to have to spend a good amount of time from now on explaining the Chicago slim thing.

If" the support of the black community in South Carolina " is so significant, then why is the place given up for red at every election?

14. "eulogize reagan"????
You obviously did not see the interview......and if you had been paying attention the "Chicago slim thing" was vetted by both Chicago Papers and The Washington Post and responded thoroughly to by Obama many months ago.

16. Yeah, EULOGIZED reagan. The whole Obama thing is about
explaining why he did this & that shit anymore. The bubble burst already.

15. And yet , you too
always forget there were THREE candidates on that stage and JRE wiped the floor with your man and Hillary.

But, Obama Land is filled with those with eyes and ears that cannot see or hear.

Hillary isn't the only person it would be assinine to vote for.
