"You don't understand something or someone, so out of gutless fear you attack them."

Classic Democrat? Isn't that a summary of the Republicans and Iraq?

"Two years in the U.S. Senate. Seven years in the Illinois Senate. One loss in a primary election for the U.S. House of Representatives. One stirring keynote address at a Democratic National Convention. Two best-selling books. That's Barack Obama's political risumi. Is it enough to qualify him to be president?"

What was "enough" to qualify Reagan?

Not even wet behind the ears. Where are his strong points, his weak points, or any points for that matter?

I am not a Democrat, but I oppose Bush & 99% of his agenda. There is a better, smarter way to do things, and it has nothing to do with defeatism.

I don't know why but I like this guy.

He's not strong. He came to town not too long ago and they wouldn't let anyone within a 1/4 mile of his motorcade. Why? Because he doesn't want to see the protesters.
Another point - his carefully "crafted" interview on 60 minutes the other day with the pre-screened questions. You want strong - sit him down in an open question and answer forum with Keith Olberman, Bob Woodward, and the chief political correspondent for the NY Times for about 2 hours. He'd come out crying.

I think it was Bill Clinton who said Americans will vote for "strong & wrong" rather than "weak & right."

Bush does project as a strong leader, unfortunately he is wrong most of the time. He is the kinda guy that leads his followers right over the cliff....

"It will be interesting to see how the Clinton(s) politically destroy Barack Obama while simultaneously proclaiming to "feel the pain" of black people."

Interesting. you have a good understanding of the Clintons, but miss the strategy points. I think the Clintons are very happy with Obama. Elections are all about manipulating voters by splitting them into the right groups. Obama is part of Hillary's strategy, because he blocks a viable candidate from rising to the "left" of her, especially on the war issue where she is vunerable. Those voters will get excited behind Obama, not allowing some other more electable person to get the media atteniton that it takes to be taken seriously. The media will do its part by talking about the "front-runners" Hillary and Obama, thereby preventing support for other folks. Then Hillary gets the nomination as she is more "electable" just as John Kerry was "electable" or sold himself to th caucuses that way. Then she says nice things about Obama.

The Clintons are either beihnd Obama's move or are happy about it, in my estimation. Hillary really is very much like the devil. sad that such people are respected and we all paly along with their contemptuous manipulation.
