Ever noticed that Obama doesn't say ANYTHING until the coast is clear. He usually waits for Hillary to speak first. Then, the string-pullers that control the puppet tell him what he believes.

The original fuel for the Obama campaign was YES WE CAN! Now, it's YES WE WILL!

Remember when he started and cynics overlooked him? They briefly remembered the 2002 speech at teh Democratic convention, but nobody talked about Rev Wright then. They loved that speech.

Now that he's the front runner for President, cynics everyday are pulling hair and teeth out trying to figure out. WHAT'S WITH THIS GUY!!! WE CAN'T GET HIM!!! AAARRRRGGHHHHH!

The best you can bring against him is John McCain? The guy who gets seconds and thirds from his own party?

He will lose. That is all.

Interesting how we are quick to attacking whatever Obama does, says, or recommends.

C'mon people we are AMERICANS. We analyze things carefully and intelligently, extrapolate and then make conclusions. Seems to me like all we do here is attack and smear, divide and conquer. What we need to know is that the American community is quite complex and like a system that has hysteresis, you can't predict the output without looking at the history of the input.

This is the case w/ Obama. he looks at things very differently and my observation is that most americans don't apply same philosophy and are this at odds w/ his approach to problem solving.

Aston,
So you're one of those that still doesn't understand the intent of the 'present' vote. You aren't alone, there are several people that need the explanation more than once.

Voting 'present' 130 times out of 4,000 votes meant there were 130 issues that needed additional discussion and/or negotiations. If you don't agree with an issue, would you just let it stand as it is and tell someone you agree or disagree without exception?
Or do you somehow signal that you don't like the way the issue was written and lets address how we can change it to make it better?

Or maybe to you, issues that are black and white don't actually have a gray area that can only be seen with the magnifying (present vote) glass.

I'll take a maybe over a yes/no if there is a missed issue raised by someone else....its called being open minded. Apparently that is something that can't be taught, you have to actually listen to make a difference.

LA in Indiana

Nobody else even came near voting 'present' 130 time. Note even close!

Maybe Obama needed more time to ponder the issues than others because his puppet-meisters weren't there to pull the strings at the time. Or is there a better reason that I'm overlooking?

Obama, a "Typical Wright Person"!!!

I guess Common Sense hasn't seen the latest polls. McCain pulling way ahead of Obama.

LOL. This is going to be fun.

Let me introduce you to your new president. John McCain.

How can any rational person blame Obama for something that is said by someone Obama has no control over whatsoever?

So...Hillary did not have to apologize for whatever Ferrero said.

To S.....I "respectfully" say that Hillary's surrogates are baffled about what to say about her because they never know when she is telling the truth. HA (I laugh respectfully).

McCain has his experience he brings to the table. Hillary has at least been in the White House and Bill has been the President. Obama has done what? 130 present votes because he was undecided and 6 MISVOTES! I know pushing a button correctly can be difficult when it doesnt require your lip muscles!

TO S.....I respectfully say that Hillary's surrogates do not know what to say for her because they never know when she is telling the truth. HA! (I laugh with respect).

@Jo,

McCain already has the nomination, BO and HRC are both still in dogfight. The real place of McCain will be clear when the dems have a nominee. You have to compare apples and apples, not apples and oranges and that is why I don't trust the MSM/polls. All they do is confuse and try to shape our thought patterns - Too bad...

J,

Keep believing your "so called polls".
They're no different than watching American Idol. Didn't you know that they're MADE FOR TV?

I know you're smarter than that. Deep down inside, there's a little voice telling you MCCAIN WILL LOSE. Don't deny the little voice.

Keep rhetoric alive, though. That's what you're good at and I could use some entertainment throughout my day.

To all the Obamaniacs who say McCain will lose, I say, how is that guy (Ned Lamont?) doing as senator from Conneticut? You know the one, the one who you said would beat Lieberman to a pulp because of Lieberman's war views. In a Blue State.

How is he doing? Oh wait. Lieberman beat him to a pulp.

Oops. My bad.

Lol.

How about some more predictions? They make us laugh.

What is so fustrating is that the Obama camp and "fans" are always saying what a clean fight he leads, however I have seen the most backhanded, passive agressive mudslinging from his people...then all you get is "oops I'm sorry, I didnt mean it" It's disgraceful and that is why I have no trust in Obama.

McCain has his experience he brings to the table. Hillary has at least been in the White House and Bill has been the President. Obama has done what? 130 present votes because he was undecided and 6 MISVOTES! I know pushing a button correctly can be difficult when it doesnt require your lip muscles!

Jo, er ra, yea right. Comparing the General Election to Connecticut.

Expand your horizons and spread out a little bit, then get back to me.

You're very very funny though.

Just imagining the ways the 527s can use Rev. Wright, Michelle Obama's speeches, her thesis in college, Tony Rezko, Obama's communist father, etc. etc. in ad campaigns is so interesting and fascinating it keeps me up at night in excitement.

Can't wait for the real election season to start. Looking forward to more rants & sermons from the Reverend and all the other kooks from Baracks weird closet.

William Ayers, people…William Ayers!

Someone aspiring to the Presidency of the United States does not nurture an ongoing personal and professional relationship with a known and unrepentant domestic terrorist. Let alone sit in that church listening to that garbage for 20 years. He's unfit to command and will bring ruin to our party in November.

Surelock Homes:

Did you see on Morning Joe today, when they showed Obama at a Townhall Meeting yesterday, and a woman in the audience asked him, "how he could be sitting in church for 20 years listening to the anti-semetic remarks of jews coming from Rev. Wright.

Obama went on to answer her by saying "I disagree with what Rev. Wright said about the jewish people, In fact I have a strong backing from the Jewish community in my home state".

LIES! LIES! LIES!

Prove it Obama, I live in Illinois. I don't think so. If anything, the Catholics and the Jewish people out here are totally upset with you and your reverend.

When they went back to Joe Scarbrough after he said this, Joe gave a look like "Teah, whatever!!!!
