Watching Obama Grow Into His Presidential Clothing Will Be Fun To Watch

[THUNDER HANDS]

Visibly seeing a person go from a senator to a presidential candidate to a realistic candidate to the likely nominee to THE candidate is a fascinating thing to watch.

The way he carries himself. The way he evolves his message. The way he just *seems* be be a more important person.

It's like watching your child grow up into an adult right before your eyes, all happening in a span of months.

I think Obama will make an awesome president, and watching him evolve into that role will be equally awesome to observe.

You could see it from Wednesday to today, how he just seems more presidential. How that victory speech in Iowa just raised the bar for him and made people look at him in a new light.

After New Hampshire, it's going to be fascinating to see if the evolution continues.

I'm eagerly awaiting the experience. This journey is going to be a wild ride.

1. Please don't take this wrong, but

I have had 8 years of watching and waiting for someone to 'grow' into the presidency - don't need another one.

2. He does seem more confident--he wears the front-runner status well.

7. He won one caucus.

Almost 60% of the DEMOCRATS attending the caucuses in Iowa sided with other candidates.

I think he has a good shot at getting the nomination.

But it's far too early for him to start marching to "Hail to the Chief."

And the "front-runner status" is little more than a creation of our right-wing corporate press.

All our candidates, including Obama, need to be pushed more on the issues than the stooges of the military/industrial complex serving as our representatives of the "free" press are willing to do.

This is not a horse race. It's the deadly serious business of choosing the next president of the United States.

5. I think watching that wooden nose grow bigger than

Pinocchio's is going to be the interesting thing.

8. If this man plans to incorporate GOPers into his cabinet, he'd better say so now so I can

... work against him.
