Presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is being taken to task by liberal bloggers, who say the candidate unfairly criticized former Democratic presidential nominees John Kerry and Al Gore while campaigning Monday in Iowa.
…
Asked about the last two presidential elections, Obama replied, “I intend to whoop ’em so good that it won’t even be close and they can’t steal the election.”
“After sustained cheers, laughter and applause,” reports the Chicago Sun-Times, “Obama added that he would hope to win over enough independents and Republicans in the general election that, ‘We aren’t going to have 47 percent on one side, 47 percent on the other side, 5 percent in the middle and they all live in Ohio and Florida so you only campaign in two states.'”
Lord, I HOPE so!!!

Ain’t always easy reading, sometimes even have to stop and think! Damn that’s hard work and costs time. Good to have you around and bring life to the pond.
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."Thank you.
I do keep trying.

I’m afraid the ‘one thing’ Obama and Kucinich have in common is blind spots.
We all might have the same problem “after sustained cheers, laughter and applause.”
Can I just say that I can’t wait until November 5, 2008. I may have to spend the intervening months in a cave in Nepal.
If someone is whining that Obama’s comments are slamming, then they need to get out of their ivory tower and mingle with actual people.
Your statement: they need to get out of their ivory tower and mingle with actual people is great advice.
Does that also apply to Obama, or is it okay for him to “hide out” on stage, and NOT mingle with actual people – including those who disagree with him or are too old to treat him line a “rock star”?
Well, that’s out of nowhere. I have no idea what you’re talking about since I haven’t seen the candidate not mingle with people, nor do assume to know anything about those people.
