That said, Clinton and W had at least been what I consider the proper path; governors, and that has given us nearly 16 years of wiping out the America I knew in 1992.

I just meant that I think his whole demeanor/persona back then was probably a big contrast to what he portrays himself now. (nice, calm, mild-mannered, properly cultured, etc.) I've always seen him as a bait and switch type of person. Wolf in sheep's clothing, etc. I think he is more like Michelle than he wants everyone to let on.

A loss is a loss, no matter what. At least he admits a defeat, when he's still on top, rather than tries to say he's winning when he's far behind in pledged delegates.
...Hillary has more STD's right now than he does, yes?

You also know Obama enjoys a widespread public opinion that he voted against the Iraq war, yes? Never mind he voted to fund it every time it came up. So, let's only put the great man up so high, shall we?

...me. I would expect his demeanor was much the same; cool, in control, thoughtful, reflective. He's not some flame thrower. My issue with him is his suggestions on policy show me a person whose reflections go more towards what is wrong with us now; too much government.

Do I support Barack Hussein Obama?

You're talking to me like I'm a loyal supporter of his.

I just don't want another Clinton to be President.

...not? It's their turn. Democrats could have buried her and him a long time ago, but, they refuse, so, here we are.

I don't want the Wicked Witch of the East leading my country.

And I sure as hell don't want my President to like a little .

I agree with that, as well.

I'll bet he didn't look so picture-perfect then.

I've been wondering about those old speeches myself. I bet something surfaces prior to the elections. I can imagine him sounding quite different when he was a rabble-rouser and during his first runs for office.

If there is any tape out there, I'll bet TeamHillary has it and they're saving it for the day before the convention!

Here are my thoughts on Obama

Obama is an "intellectual." Obama gives good speeches. Obama says he is for Change. with Obama the sun will shine. with Obama theres a new tommorow. with obama we will all smile and see another day. Too too funny. Wake up people. His mask is slipping. People are seeing BEHIND the speeches now just like they saw behind the curtain -like the Wizard of oz - with Bushie and Katrina. "Yes We can " No YOU CAN't and please tell us how you CAN do all the things that need to be done. No more pretty empty speeches Obama...lay out some concrete plans or are you afraid to do that just like you are afraid to DEBATE Hillary again. I just don't think he has what it takes to be the next president. Also Hillary just proved what we all have been saying- Obama cannot win the big one, he cannot win over American blue -collar workers. Obama flew out of Pa as soon as he could. Shows us what he thinks of the residents there.
