Does Obama have the energy to compete all the way through November?

[Onlooker]

I suppose he does, but lately he has been so low key, while Clinton has been far more energetic and feisty. Lately, he seems tired and acts like he's going through the motions than trying to inspire people. Without his passion, Obama is a far weaker candidate, and if his passion is only an act, it will wear thin. Has anyone seen any recent speeches by the "old Obama" who could fire up thousands? Or is there another explanation for his lack of energy? Not overconfidence, I hope. He hasn't locked up anything yet.

2. Um... been to a concert lately.. my arena was charged and nutso.. and it

was still inspiring..

3. He'll be reenergized once the nomination is a lock

It has to be exhausting right now. But once he has a real target (McCain) that he can go after, I think we'll see the old energy. Now is probably a good time for him to be low key, anyway.

4. You're kidding, right?

He's like the Energizer Bunny!

5. Also, I think he's trying to graciously let Clinton walk away from this.

Clinton can only be fiesty.. she's running from behind... at the end of the day, you have to look at who has the manpower and the money... she has neither.. and she won't get it unless "something" does happen to Obama.

6. He's giving Clinton her space; that will end as soon as she concedes. PS

Watch for him Tuesday night and tell me he's lost his passion.

7. He's in a very delicate position here. I think he's handling it very well -- low key

is the way to go right now.

9. Yes, and he's got pathologically low blood pressure too.

He could faint or drop dead any minute. :eyes:

10. hillary can afford to be feisty, she's about to go back to the senate

11. He has far more energy than McCain

He'll spank McCain day in and day out until not even DuPont can hid the circles under McCain's eyes or Pfizer can keep him awake!










(I was gonna say "...or Pfizer can keep him up!" but that brought up some unpleasant mental imagry)

[papapi]

12. Please don't keep him 'up' beyond his bedtime. I't already obvious he needs his rest.

[krispos42]

15. Don't tell me...

...the last thing I want to do is be accused of keeping McCain "up"!

:rofl:

13. Your concern is noted.

[Occam Bandage]

14. He's backed off. He doesn't want to look like he's shoving her out.

[stillcool]

16. I think he's in Michigan today..

there's a post somewhere around here. The difference between Obama and Clinton is that Obama talks to people and Clinton talks to the press.

18. Hillary is frenetic. Obama is is far more low key and centered.

It's not about his lacking energy.
