Obama Managed To Damage Hillary On Iraq Without Seeming Mean- No Small Feat [View All]

[KittyWampus]

in fact, I'd say it was pretty damned impressive.

One of things that held me back with full out RA! RA! support for Obama was his lackluster debate performances. I still have some reservations.

Last night he comfortably discussed policy proving he's no lightweight pouf.

He looked "Presidential"

He has a lovely, gentle humor.

He had some good quips-soundbites, important for today's media climate and electorate.

He drew serious blood on Iraq with Clinton. And he did it without looking like a bully. As a NY'er, I remember Lazio approaching Hillary on the stage and appearing threatening. It helped Clinton tremendously. Obama has to walk a fine line between drawing distinctions/critiquing Hillary and coming across as the aggressor.

Obama performance in that regard was stellar.

Obama is not just a gifted orator and able representative of the people, he also has a gift for finding the right "tone".

I am not knocking down Hillary's fine performance either. I think it was close to a draw.
