Obama doesn't read from a teleprompter. Generally, he memorizes his own speeches (that he wrote). Watch his eyes when he speaks, he looks out at the crowd, and shifts his eyes from person to person.
I have no doubt that Obama will get elected in November. There's been a sizable migration out of the Republican party in the past couple of years. Rush tried to cover the numbers with his BS "operation chaos," when the numbers came in about how many former Republicans were registering as Dems. But I suppose time will tell.
p.s. -- when Obama misspeaks once, saying he's been to 57 instead of 47 states, you jump all over him. When Bush misspeaks on a semi-daily basis -- so many that it would be pointless to list them here -- it just gets glossed over. How about McCain? He doesn't know the difference between Sunni and Shiite, and has proven it half a dozen times. How are we supposed to believe he's capable of making the right choice in an area where he can't tell the two major factions apart.
Upper crust my ass. Obama came from a bad situation and made the best of it. That's the whole american dream. Obama's wealth is totally self-made, and as presidential candidates go, he's practically in the poor house. He's only worth 1.3 million compared to the 109 million the clintons are worth, and the 40.4 million that Cindy and John McCain are worth (according to salon.com).
I'll hold my judgement on this one -- odds are, there's intelligent life out there. Odds are about equally good that they probably didn't fly 10 billion miles to play peeping tom.
Who's to say. Looks awfully staged to me. That chart in back looks like every picture of how a chart should look. Was there a presentation in back? No -- just a random chart.
I personally am happy that the primary is over, and that Obama has a chance to prove his worth. It would be very hard to do worse than Bush.
The comments here range from hateful to hopeful. People say he's a liar: what has he lied about? You say he's an empty suit: how about 1st African-American to become president of the Harvard Law Review. Socialist? He wants to offer (not force) Americans the same health care he gets. Idiot?! Read a frickin book -- the man's a brilliant writer!
He's the only candidate who can bring populist change to the white house. He's financed almost entirely by small contributions from private citizens, and that means that when he's elected no one will own him. He will be free to put the American people first -- and the corporations will have to get in line.
Agreed. Totally legit post. I'd been wondering what Jim Davis thought of the morphing of his comics. I'm kinda glad he likes it, because its about a hundred times funnier than regular Garfield.
