Obama tells Diane Sawyer Hillary depressed him
http://thepage.time.com/excerpt-from-mondays-good-morning-america/

Diane Sawyer: Do you get angry at her?

Sen. Obama: Not really. I find the manner in which they’ve been running their campaign sort of depressing lately.

1. Fantastic Answer by Obama!
She is trying to depress anybody who actually has any hope or believes Obama can bring about change.

3. Inaccurate title. He said her method of campaigning was
depressing. Not that he's depressed. Depressed = medical condition. Please change.

5. Good answer. Nobody likes an "angry" candidate.
Even if the candidate has a right to be angry.

17. Or Howard Dean, or Dennis Kucinich, or anybody.
And Edwards' first name is not Jonathan.

they've been running their campaign sort of depressing lately." Honest answer. But, I'm sure Obama can handle anything the carvilles and the penns can plot.

14. He's not blaming Hillary, but he's asking her crew to step it up.
Obama can definitely handle himself. That was masterfully diplomatic. He'll handle the Republicans.

Will the media allow him to, however?

15. If there's a chance that Obama could go wobbly, maybe your backing the wrong guy.

19. Will Smith taught me you don't have to be wobbly
for the media to try to create the perception that you are.

That's all. If the media doesn't want you, they'll ignore you when you're doing well, or destroy you when you're off your game.
