1. You mean he didn't vote "present" or abstain??

6. Ah,,,you are one of the monolithic...

female voters voting for her just because she's a woman too I guess. I've strongly supported females over males and minority candidates frequently in the past. How about you?

Sorry you misrepresented Obama's record there so that's why I'm calling you out.

10. Sorry.I am an Edwards supporter but I would vote for Hillary in a heartbeat over Obama.

I never wanted this race about race or gender and if you read any of my posts you would know this is true. But I do not support sexism over racism either.And I was being sanrky because I have no respect for Obama.He used to be my second choice,now he is not a choice at all.

2. B's staffers look more buff than the security detail

They also look a lot more yummy.

3. You know..it really is fun to keep

track of someone who inspires me like Obama's doing now..I feel the same about Dean, Gore, Lamont, and Kerry..anyone who's for our Democracy and has the courage of their convictions. Thanks for the pics, Florida!~

5. Anytime, zidzi! I love the candid shots, the behind the scenes photos.

9. I'm sorry. I have to be shallow and say it. These are the kinds of pictures I could easily

look at for the next 8 years.. there IS something to be said for having a president who is a picture of grace and dignity and beauty; whose voice is pleasing to the ear and who is articulate and inspirational as well as brilliant. Enough of the dumbing down of America! I'm ready for a representative of what America can TRULY BE !

11. Don't apologize!

That was perfectly said.

[Cha]

12. Not shallow! That's your Democracy

loving heart having its way! :)

:D

[FrenchieCat]

14. Aye.......

does make one likely to "watch" our government at work, hey.

I'll like seeing all of the meetings and such on C-Span! Yes, I will! ;)

18. Good point. He is an amazing person.

15. Thank God they ID'd him (repeatedly) as the Democratic presidential hopeful.

Otherwise probably nobody would have recognized him. :eyes:

Edit to remove a freeper spelled word! :blush:

16. I'm worried that some of you Obama supporters are stalking Obama.
