Barack to Hillary: I Don't Drink With You:
A hand for Bushie but not for Hillary. Wow. That's just what comes from inexperience I guess.

Why did Obama just resurrect the "likeable enough" issue?
Did he just lose himself MORE votes amongst Tsunami Tuesday women?
Why did he just ruin a great day for himself?

It's easy to envisage: a long, tiring but elating day for him -- basking amongst Kennedies and their praise. Daydreaming himself into JFK. Thinking, yeah, I'm gonna be the next Jack. And then That Lady who could shatter all those dreams comes toddling over, and he just gets pouty and standoffish.

This man makes rookie mistakes a lot. No criticsm of him; he is a rookie. But is a rookie what we need to take us to the big contest off in distant November?

2. If I wasn't a staunch Edwards supporter, I'd have gone Hillary's way by now
Due to the sheer fact that I LOATHE the way Obama treats her.
It is very demeaning.

8. She's My #2
Early in the campaign I was under the suspicion that Obama was running interference for her and would eventually drop out.

Now I'm not so sure the interference is intentional.

9. He's really shown himself to be arrogant and rude, imo.
I hope his behavior is rewarded accordingly.

11. It wont be. The Obama train rolls on.
The Republicans love him because they know he hasn't got a chance in hell in the GE.
And the Democrats are just swallowing the line the MSM is feeding them about a "candidate for change".

As if.

13. That train is about to be crushed.
In a week, Obama faces not a firewall, but a waterfall of epic proportions: Tsunami Tuesday. By the time that all falls out, Obama's "hopes" for the nomination will look like Banda Aceh on a bad day.

12. Did you REALLY just come in?
Barack turned away and refused to shake Hillary's hand at the State of the Union when she came over to him and Ted Kennedy. But Barack DID shake hands with Bush after the speech was over. AP has pictures. MSNBC is reporting it. This story has legs.

16. Maybe he wanted to let
Ted and her speak. It has to be awkward. I can't believe these threads over nothing and even more, I can't believe I am posting to one. Aack!
