Obama is a badass

[E_Smith]

He just made Rice look like a complete dolt.

[cry baby]

1. He was better in the 2nd round of questions. n/t

[Fleshdancer]

2. Seems easier for him to hit hard after following Boxer.

The more he does this, the better he'll get. I still can't get over how incredibly new he is. Not bad considering, right?

[riverwalker]

3. he is very smoooooth

and very effective. Watching him spar with condi, he reminds me of marguaritas at dinner. They go down so smooth and sweet (oh they must be harmless!), so you have a couple of 'em, and you think you can handle it, but when you get up and can't walk you realize how strong they were.

[E_Smith]

10. great analogy

that is exactly right. he also knew when to back off, which had the effect of elevating him to "higher ground" unlike Boxer who was like an uncaged pit bull.

[AlCzervik]

4. He was better in this round, the last part

in regards to tiernery and terrorisim and how that applies to Saudi Arabia.

5. Funny. Everyone was mad at him a few hours ago.

He must have improved.

[AlCzervik]

8. not me, i said i will wait before trying to figure him out.

i'm glad i did.

[Daisey Mae]

6. Obama did real good....better in the second round......

I think he is gonna be a pretty good Senator......LIKE HIM FINE SO FAR.......

[gumby]

7. Rice treated Obama like a toady

and scolded him like a schoolboy.

She's such a lying liar.

9. Badass?

Isn't that a tad racist? Badass calls to mind all those 70's blaxploitation films, huge afros, and the idea that black men are somehow tougher and meaner than white guys. I think we need to watch our language a little here. Why not describe him as smart or insightful or tough. But badass? Come on.

[E_Smith]

11. no racism intended

purely giving him kudos in a fun way. pardon the slang.

lighten up!

[ErinGoBraghLess]

14. Kidding!

I was just jerking your chain! I take no offense in almost anything you can say on here. Some people are so hypersensitive that I like to joke around.

[E_Smith]

17. that was convincing! n/t

[jrthin]

13. Oh, pulezzze.

He's a smart, insightful, tough, badass man!

[Old and In the Way]

18. Were you elected the board language nanny?

I must of missed the announcement.

Since you're rather new here, you are more than welcome to:

(1) Hit the alert button if your sensibilities have been violated.

(2) Put the person on ignore.

And you best not go into the Lounge without your ammonium carbonate handy....

12. He did an excellent job, uncovered the hypocrisy of Iraq

uncovered all the other killings going on in the world and how we ignore them. Why Iraq?

Of course she tap danced around, but it wasmore like stumbling.

[qanda]

15. Obama will be on Oprah tomorrow

eom

[Catchawave]

16. First time I've seen Obama in action....

...and am very impressed. He's got quite a career ahead of him, and so glad he's on our team :)

[Mitt Chovick]

19. He's impressive (nt)
