14. Can you name any poor presidents who were good speakers?
The two do tend to go together.

18. Reagan for one...
He was awful, sent us into recession and brought upon tons of corruption with Iran-Contra...and he was a brilliant speaker.

15. Two seperate issues
but you try to merge them into one. There have been several Presidents that have been amazing speakers, while there have been many that weren't. He can be a great speaker, and be a great POTUS.

Try not to think too hard.

6. Very powerful. He congratulated Clinton, didn't attack, but stated
his case against McCain. The politics of raising yourself above the fray instead of wrassling in the mud.

7. Damn, I will be so sad if he loses
What a graceful man, what a benefit to the whole world.

And DAMN, if I may say so, Michelle will be a phenomenal First Lady. Every time I see her I'm more impressed.

10. I love the crowd boos when he mentioned Clinton victories
Quite reassuring to know that the supporters out there are just as petty as Obama's DU supporters here.

12. I love his speeches, he is the candidate I can vote for
but never Hillary and her negative, scary ads. When are people going to get sick of the emotional black mail of the Clintons or others, really when ? she voted for the war, she voted for nafta, are you waiting for her to take your home too, oh forget that, the recession will do it what with Nafta and all. Writing on the wall with her, more of the same, she is just alot of talk and copying of Obama. She is a Obama clone.

16. I think I will as well.
But I will do so assuming that we are seeing a new Obama who has learned that Clinton WILL swiftboat and slime her way to victory if he does not take action.

I am sorry if any fellow Obama supporters still think this can be won by the tactics Obama used in the past. He kept his distance from her past and has paid the price.

I will wait till tomorrow night to see if the supers will end this. She will not get the 50-100+ net delegate count from this one needed to mathmatically convince the party that this isn't a run of bullshit from here on out. However, with many people responding to such bullshit fear mongering and swiftboating as we saw in the last few days they might be forced to wait.

Looks like it may go until early April now. We must remain strong and urge obama to stop acting friendly about this.

If Clinton ends up winning McCain will tear her apart politically in the GE. More so than ever with her actions in the last few days. So it is triple important that this nice guy bullshit leave Obama at once. He must expose Clinton for WHAT SHE IS NOW NOW NOW!!! before the GE where McCain has almost every bit of it already giftwrapped to deliver in speeches and videos that will deal the death blow to the chances of having a democrat in the white house going into the next decade.

Obama if you let her continue this unchallenged... You will lose the nomination. I will give a small donation to your website in the hopes you will change and defeat this madness.
