Barack Obama is amazing.

[Labors of Hercules]

usually.

but I have to say his interview with KO tonight wasn't good .

sorry, but it's the first time I though Barack was totally off his game.

And to be off his game with KO? wow. He must have a cold or something.

1. He seemed tired; which is certainly understandable.

8. at his town hall meeting today

he did sound tired. I heard it on XM Radio.

[jeanpalmer]

11. To me he seemed under pressure

Not nearly as confident as he used to be. Which is understandable given the shift in the polls the past few weeks. He can read polls, and the look of concern on his face tonight I think was a reflection of that. It has me worried. I'm hoping this McCain/Palin bounce is just that -- a bounce.

2. I have not seen it.

What was wrong?

4. It felt like he was all over the place...

didn't give a concise answer no matter how much Keith prompted him. Keith even asked about "giving direct answers" and STILL the answer was "beat around the bush" instead of "beat the shit out of the bush".

It seems like Barack is playing some kind of strategy, but what it is sure as hell aint doing anything for me. :shrug:

3. was it anywhere as bad as McCain's convention speech ?

[Errrica]

5. I certainly don't think so.

Breathing is more exciting than McSame's speech was.

[Labors of Hercules]

6. of course not, but the MSM is in McSame's pocket...

So Barack has to ALWAYS be better than just "better". Know what I mean?

7. Obama needs to take lessons from Gov. Brian Schweitzer

on how to combat Reich wing tactics. Schweitzer self-studied Reich wing radio and learned their tactics so he could use them against them. Obama is playing the professor when we need him to play the prize fighter.

9. Barack is carrying the weight of all of our hopes, I imagine now and then he's tired

That said my mom who is a stalwart Obama supporter has noticed a minor reduction in his "fire".
We all hope he can rest up and access his inner strength again soon.

10. We should find some way to encourage him.

A big bump of money, maybe.

Or maybe just 100 million thank you's from those of us who are counting on him, but know he's human, and especially appreciate that he's out front in this war.
