Way to go Obama!
Rather than attack each other, you and Hillary should go after the real enemies of this country -- the whole Bush fiasco. Remember that almost 70% of we the people are against the policies of this administration .. and Cheney is such an easy target for anyone with wit. Easy as shooting fish in a barrel .. or your friend in the face .....
From Yahoo news:
"Obama, speaking at a massive outdoor rally in Austin, Texas, said British Prime Minister Tony Blair's decision this week to withdraw 1,600 troops is a recognition that Iraq's problems can't be solved militarily.
"Obama, speaking at a massive outdoor rally in Austin, Texas, said British Prime Minister Tony Blair's decision this week to withdraw 1,600 troops is a recognition that Iraq's problems can't be solved militarily.
"Now if Tony Blair can understand that, then why can't George Bush and Dick Cheney understand that?" Obama asked thousands of supporters who gathered in the rain to hear him. "In fact, Dick Cheney said this is all part of the plan (and) it was a good thing that Tony Blair was withdrawing, even as the administration is preparing to put 20,000 more of our young men and women in.
"Now, keep in mind, this is the same guy that said we'd be greeted as liberators, the same guy that said that we're in the last throes. I'm sure he forecast sun today," Obama said to laughter from supporters holding campaign signs over their heads to keep dry. "When Dick Cheney says it's a good thing, you know that you've probably got some big problems."[..]
Obama is right. Dick Cheney has been wrong time after time about Iraq .. his "last throes" comment was his own personal Mission Accomplished moment.
Some people think if you're against this administration you're a Bush-hater, but I don't hate him at all .. he's just a doofus who thinks God wants him to bring democracy to the Middle East. But Cheney now, is another story -- his 5 time I've-got-other-priorities draft deferments .. his treasonous outing of an important CIA operation .. and now attacking Madam Speaker's patriotism while he's out of the country seems kind of chicken to me.
Anyway, I am more and more impressed with Obama .. he comes across as genuine and you can feel the electricity of a real human being speaking truth to power. People say he reminds them of Will Rogers or Mark Twain .. his excellent sense of humor might have something to do with that.
We haven't had a real leader in a long time that doesn't feel kind of dirty. I liked Bill .. but as smart a politician as he is, compassionate as he is about people, you just know there is a car salesman a few layers down.
Yet .. I don't know how "electable" Obama might be .. the media tries to do a job on him .. they sure overplayed the Hillary tiff.
To think the Democratic Party of Nevada is going to let Fox News broadcast the debates! Fox trashes Obama on a daily basis.
It may be just me, but I fear for him in the greater scheme of things. If you think back to MLK and RFK, the times then and now are eerily almost the same .. crooked White House .. severely divided country .. mired in a hopeless unpopular war....
