:D

2. hah

ok Trog lemme explain to you this in the best non biased way that I can. Barrak Obama is a democratic senatoral candiate from Illinois and he was on meet the press today with Tim Russert and he called Bush sincere but he also mentioned he would have voted against the war resolution and that he thought the war was idealogically driven. For not calling Bush a liar as some would have wished, he was called names deserved for "Democrats" like Zell Miller.

3. Obama is a guy running for senate in IL and he wasn't nasty enough to Bush

That's pretty much it.

[TrogL]

4. Isn't he speaking at the convention?

[Nevernose]

5. Keynote speaker

[JohnKleeb]

6. yes he is

He's a good man, I happen to live in a republican state and I would love to have a dem senator, and I would consider myself blessed to get one like Obama but some people just demnad the world of candiates which is a shame.

7. He probably felt that he had to be even handed.

Can't say some of what he really feels because it could backfire.

8. Obama may be...

our first Black President some day, but he's still not good enough for some people.

Apparently, being intelligent, educated, honorable, competant, extremely well-spoken and compassionate just doesn't count for much any more in some circles.

I just get some of it over here, but from what I get, Obama walks on water. A few more like him and with Kerry in office, there's a wave of fresh air coming over this country.

Things are looking good, for once.
