Looks like Obama is simply not tough enough.....
If he thinks last night was rough what would he think would happen when the repugs kick in?

Good grief.

WE NEED HILLARY.

5. He's not saying it was ROUGH, just not focused adequately on issues
Remember -- this is the PRIMARY season, when Democrats shouldn't be ATTACKING
each other. He's keeping his powder dry for McSame.

36. So you don't think the rest of the Democrats should have a chance to vote?
You don't seem to believe in Democracy. In fact, you don't sound like a real Democrat.

That's disingenuous and weak -- certainly not Presidential.

13. Don't be ridiculous.
McCain would slaughter Hillary. The fact that Obama refuses to attack one of his own is not an indication that he isn't tough. Quite the opposite is true, it's a sign of strength and integrity. Hillary on the other hand, the screeching , cackling, back stabbing , power hubgry banshee is the last thing this country needs. We need Hillary like we need hemorrhoids and cancer.

17. this is the problem.
when Obama stands up for himself he gets criticized for playing dirty and staying true to his campaign message, when he takes the high road (as he did with the bosnia issue) he gets called week. this shit is getting old.

Exactly what did he do or not do last night that shows he is not tough enough?

She and the GOP have lost.

30. It"s April
Hillary was supposed to have this in the bag by Feb 5th. Seems like Obama has done quite well against the biggest machine in politics.

He'll handle the Repugs just fine. He's had plenty of practice going against Clinton.

33. the shock over being questioned is concerning
he clearly was flat-footed for the second half of the debate after being shell-shocked by questions he did not want early on. Not a good sign when he moves from the minors to he real ball game. The contempt from the obama supporters here is simply fear hidden by feigned outrage when there candidate stumbles. The calls for ABC boycotts are a hoot, especially the Disney ones. Love to hear them tell their kids, "we can't go see Mickey because he let some men ask Obama questions he did not care for."

37. Last night demonstrated that garbage fatigue has set in. The Repub talking heads even agree
that they may have to come up with a new strategy because all the garbage currently being thrown at Obama has been overused to the point where it is worthless.
