I AM SO PROUD OF OBAMA

[loveangelc]

Seriously. I am sooooo happy that he finally went after her, and I really think he did the best tonight. Like someone on Larry King (Laura Schwartz) said, tonight displayed what happens when you get under Hillary's skin, and Obama clearly did that tonight... and Obama seemed to look a lot better than her. IMO at least. I just wanted to say that.

1. Yes. Men always look noble and manly attacking a woman.

[theredpen]

3. Yeah... cause women are frail and can't defend themselves. Good one!

[allinktup]

6. I didn't see him getting booed

Did you see that? I didn't think so.

[DaLittle Kitty]

22. The ONLY Candidate Who Was NOT BOOO'ed Was John Edwards... A Southern Statesman!

16. good lord -- did you really mean to say that...?

Dude.

20. Puh-leeese

This "sexist" crap has got to stop. Maybe it got the women voters to come around during the early contests but it won't work in the later contests.

23. If She Can't Take The Heat Then She Should Get Outa The Kitchen! This Is POTUS Primary They're Run

-ning for... Not your local school Board... I do NOT Want to Hear ANY More "Whining" From The Women Among Us i.e., Playing The VICTIM Card... It's disgusting...


There Are NOOO Victim Cards to Be Played When You Are President of The United States... It IS ALL HardBall ALL The Time... So Get Over It... :rofl:




We're Not Supposed to Ask Hillary or Obama for that Matter, Difficult Questions... We're just supposed to proceed merrily along in Fantasyland? :crazy:

2. He didn't get booed.

That, at least, says something about who maintained their composure better.

[peoli]

4. I think most of us Obama supporters feel the same. He was wonderful.

My jaw dropped to the floor at the beginning when he kept at it. I loved it.

[Big Blue Marble]

5. I agree with you completely,

I thought this was his best debate yet. I was glad to see him come back at her.

[ursi]

7. I am too and he held himself with dignity

[The_Casual_Observer]

8. That's nice, he needs all the help he can get!

[ClericJohnPreston]

10. I am so happy too!

That you Obamites always keep me in stitches.

Bwahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahaaha! :rofl:

Just what planet did you come from? What debate were you watching? While two clowns were arguing, one honorable guy made the simple and honest pitch.

Does Obama get points for just showing up? You Obamatons would at least garner my respect if you admitted who the real victor was tonight.

US....the people who John Edwards speaks for.

[loveangelc]

11. too bad his chances of winning are maybe .5% at the most...:-)

15. Aahhhh!! The irresistible Betty Page!

[loveangelc]

17. I looooove Betty Page. She was so beautiful.

12. HRC handed obama is ass a couple of times. wanna know why?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO there he is :hide: obama should enjoy this saturday cause this will be the last one other then illinois he will enjoy as HRC picks up the majority of delegates by the middle of March or late March....

[Cha]

13. I'm proud of him too..

he's in this seemingly impossible situation and taking it step by step all the way to the top!

[Spiffarino]

14. He actually did great

I was impressed at how he kept his feet under him while she chucked oppo research crap-bombs at him. He seemed ready for most of it, and what he wasn't ready for he deflected deftly. He's a lot more formidable than I expected. He could win.

I think Edwards got the better of the contest because he largely stayed away from the mudslinging.

Hillary got some good points in, too. I wish she'd stuck to her best ideas and her most passionate beliefs, but instead she got into a pissing contest with Obama using gossip and innuendo that rends us further apart. That did not help her or the Democratic party.

The debates are all about "gotcha" now. No ideas. No soaring rhetoric. Just throwing caca around and trying to make it stick.

18. I agree...Obama kicked Hillary's ass...

He demonstrated, point-by-point, that Hillary's manipulative vitriol against Obama is
political ploys. You could sense his exasperation, at being forced to deal with this
bullshit.

Obama explained what "present" meant, and frankly--I was happy to hear that. He made
more than 4,000 votes in Illinois and voted "present" 130 times. "Present" in Illinois
politics is a leveraging tool. It allows a legislator to state that they would vote
yes, if that bill was modified/expanded/changed in some way. I suspect that when a
vote is made in the Illinois legislature, and it doesn't pass, with many voting "present",
that allows the bill co-sponsors to further lobby and negotiate with those legislators
who voted "present". Then, the bill can be negotiated or changed--to turn those "present"
votes to "yes". It makes sense.

I loved that he explained that Hillary's healthcare plan mandates that all are covered, but
if the poor can't pay the premiums--they are fined. Who wants that? Hillary mandates that
the poorest of the poor pay insurance premiums. That's not covering everyone...it's making
demands that simply won't happen.

Obama was dignified, humorous, knowledgeable and gracious. He demonstrated that he is a
formidable opponent who can stand up to the Clinton attack machine.

You really could sense that he's sick and tired of her bullshit attacks. I hope he finds a way
to deal with the Clinton attack machine and get his message out. It's difficult when someone
twists your words and constantly lies about your record.

Obama can handle it, and I think the American people--during the course of this campaign--will
see what is going on. They will reject the Clinton nastiness.
