Democrats' new superstar Obama in Austin

The Sweetwater Reporter

The Democrats' hottest new star, Illinois Senate candidate Barack Obama, said his come-from-nowhere, under-funded campaign has surprised the experts because his message of inclusion has attracted more voters across more demographic lines than anyone predicted. ...

"We are on the verge of a breakthrough in which we can have a different kind of politics," Obama said. "The most important office in a democracy is the office of citizen."

He said the idea of taking care of each other shouldn't be taken as an admission of weakness or fear of defending the United States.

Americans like him, Obama said, "would willingly take up arms to make sure that 9/11 never happened again, and believing that the notion that we would send our young men and women to fight the wrong war, with the wrong plans, with the wrong equipment, with the wrong training, and not take care of their families back home, and then when they come back, not give them long-term health insurance, even when they've been wounded, there's something wrong with that."

3. He's our baby! He's OUR baby!

Man, do we have bench strength or do we have bench strength? He IS gonna go far. All the way to the White House, I'll bet. Bless his heart! He was a COMPLETE delight last week at the convention. Even thinking about his magnificent speech now gives me chills. Our party's future is bright indeed with guys like him coming up in the ranks. Who've they got but younger knuckle-draggers and wolves in sheep's clothing? We have a certified STAR.
