For those that say Obama isn't tough enough, answer these questions

[NJmaverick]

Which of the three candidates has the greatest likely hood of being assassinated if elected? Does it take toughness to put one's life on line?


Which of the candidates was strong enough and tough enough, not to pander to the public, by offering an economically disastrous, gas holiday proposal?


Being a fighter doesn't make one tough, having the self discipline and moral courage to do the right thing and having the guts to risk everything, does

1. In order...

Which of the three candidates has the greatest likely hood of being assassinated if elected? Does it take toughness to put one's life on line?

This will not happen. Only liberals are targetted for killing. The fact that he is still alive is a clear indication that he is NOT liberal.


Which of the candidates was strong enough and tough enough, not to pander to the public, by offering an economically disastrous, gas holiday proposal?

He gets half a point for being right on this.


Being a fighter doesn't make one tough, having the self discipline to do the right thing and having the courage to risk everything, does

He supports the (funding of the) war. He does not support impeachment and holding the Bushistas responsible for their crimes (despite his weak-ass assertion about accountability).

3. That's idiotic.

Wellstone's plane went down a week before the election, so there goes your first statement.

As far as your war argument, if he were as principled as Kucinich, he'd also be back at the Capitol by now like Kucinich.

First rule of politics: You have to win to govern.

4. He isn't President yet, is he?

[Occam Bandage]

22. "The fact that he is still alive is a clear indication that he is NOT liberal."

Fact: There have been no living liberals since Bobby Kennedy.

Addendum: Wellstone wasn't assassinated.

5. Also which one has cried in public

Sorry but the only time I want to see tears on a president's face is when brave americans have died for them, not because they want to be president and are sleep-deprived.

[NJmaverick]

6. Good point, crying isn't a sign of weakness, but what causes you to cry

can be

[MonkeyFunk]

7. None of them have cried in public

that I've ever seen.

13. The senator from New York did

got herself all teary-eyed talking about how much she wants to help.

14. Nonsense

that's not crying.

You guys are so filled with hate you can't see reality.

[NJmaverick]

17. Yeah it couldn't possibly be you that has gotten it wrong

it MUST be everyone else.

[MonkeyFunk]

18. I know what crying is

and that's not crying.

[NJmaverick]

19. and you don't think other people know what crying is????

[MonkeyFunk]

21. I think you guys

lie like other people breathe. That's what I think.

[CBGLuthier]

20. Did you read the caption?

You know I can't help it if you have a 9 inch monitor and can't see what is what.

Yes, I hate her. I will not deny that. But the truth is the truth, she manufactured some tears to get votes.

[DemsUnited]

8. Tough is fighting Clinton, McCain, Wright and the media at the same time

while still winning scores of new superdelegates, remaining competitive in the polls, and inspiring millions of voters young and old.

And he does it calmly and presidentially.

That is why he is going to be our nominee. That is why he is going to be our President.

[NJmaverick]

10. Very true! I have never seen a candidate having to fight a war on so many fronts

Yet people still accuse Obama of lacking toughness. Disgraceful!

[BenDavid]

9. obama is a pink tutu wearing democrat.....

[NJmaverick]

11. See there is a perfect example of the disingenuous comments coming out of the hillary camp

Although I guess including disingenuous when you are talking about something coming out of camp clinton is redundant.

[TragedyandHope]

12. America has had enough of the old BS definition of "tough"

Say hello to the new tough. The real tough.

[1776Forever]

15. Like he says "He will save his energy for the big tests". Not pandering and using dirty politics!

:headbang:

[NJmaverick]

16. Plus terrorists want and need leaders that will react emotionally

otherwise their TERROR is ineffective.
