2. Thanks for that...

Obama will need all his skill in order to overcome the crap that is starting to roll his way.
this article by John Fund, is just another pile of manure to deal with.

4. He is in perfect position...no worries

I read your article and i saw nothing but a pro-Hillary supporter taking a large brush stroke over the matter and glossing over the serious flaws that hillary has such as the damaging Colombia free trade deal and Nafta lies, and for that matter the continuous lies she keeps introducing....

This recent "Bitter" thing is silly and Obama was dead-on correct in his analysis and honest about it while the other candidates have been dishonest. Funny that a number of Penn. papers came out after being aware of the btiter comment and when ahead and endorsed Obama because of the truth he speaks...did you see that video of a random Penn. citizen admit that Obama is correct?

Obama will be fine...he is very good!

5. "In other words my story is a quintessentially American Story...

Its the same story that has made this country a beacon for the world. Story of struggle and sacrifice on the part of my forebearers; a story of overcoming great odds; I carry that story with me each and every day, its why I wake up every day and do this. Its why I continue to hold such hope for the future of a country where the dreams of its people have always been possible."

Barack Obama speaks with the elegance and wisdom that we need in this country.

6. With each attack Sen. Barack Obama gets stronger. Potentially will be a power house of a president.

He is more than what the world and the future needs.

8. Obama represents the media's worst fears

It is nothing to do with his race or message. It is his
methods. Big media is watching the dismantling of their
kingdoms. They have balanced on the tightrope of what they
could say and who they could support as limited by their
larger advertisers and also in a lot of cases by their
international causes they have taken on as part of their
mission in addition to the news. The Internet has changed
that, it has not totally stripped their power yet, but it
is cutting into it. They have been a paid filter that the
news ran through with a little strategic spin or two of
theirs applied, and now it is threatened.


John McCain took the right trip and has the right corporate
sponsorship to make the old white haired dons of media
free to gush and promote with the full blessing of their
bosses. They view themselves as the only rightful source
of the news and their spinning and selective reporting
as a reasonable compromise in the course of reporting.
Our media is every bit as hamstrung and sold off as
is Washington D.C. and they want to have a big and maybe
last fling, with a white haired candidate from their prime
era.

Obama is up against Hillary, old media, the Republican party,
and most especially the corporate and foreign governments
that bought big chunks of our media and government in order
to get the American voter out of control on their particular
issues and instead buy American support and approval.

9. and he didn't have to attack clinton for attacking him... This is a media conspiracy...

to stop Obama. But Clinton has less than a 10 percent chance of winning. No one talks about the caucus votes. No one. The 800,000 is just the tip of the ice berg that separates them.

10. Beautiful Once Again !! -- Good for him !!

>>> And I liked that he reiterated the meaning of his point-- people's frustration with the way both parties seem to have ignored the suffering of displaced workers, and that he thought it a critical issue he looked forward to debating with John McCain. And the reminder at the end of the clip that he worked as a community organizer with people who had lost their life long manufacturing jobs due to the policies of the last 20-30 years.
>>> What has increased my respect for Obama ever since the last few of his debates with Clinton is the way he has tried to keep his arguments directed at John McCain and the Republicans. He has strictly curtailed his attacks on Clinton. He could say so much more and I'll bet his team has wanted to do more smearing of Clinton but he has dissuaded them. Hoping that he and Hillary would both attack McCain and let us voters decide who we wanted to continue doing so in the general election.
