I was watching Obama tonite with my Evangelical sister and WE BOTH LOVED OBAMA

He was *REAL*,
AUTHENTIC,
NATURAL, SPONTANEOUS
and he appeared
non-rehearsed.

Mostly, he was comfortable
being himself -- unlike
McCain who seemed like
a wind-up toy, posing
with every answer. He
constantly made me feel as
if he was ready to break
down and cry at any given
moment.



Not only that, but it seemed
if someone had a pin and poked
him with it, he would POP and
fly all over the room.

1. Not only that, his answers didn't sound straight out of the book of rightwing fundamentalism.

The questions were political more than about "faith," and McCain gave straight conservative answers.

(I'd love to see a similar forum but for a liberal audience!! Ask the same questions with that audience, and see what happens!)

3. Not only that.....but,
Defeating Evil is not the job of man......it is the Lord's job according to the bible!

Our role is to confront evil, and to ask the Lord to forgive us for our sins.

4. McSane was afraid of forgetting the answers and was responding before Ricky finished asking.
Loved Obama.

6. I'm watching Obama in a rerun right now. He's doing great.
He's giving thoughtful answers to every question. I'm bracing myself for the onslaught of b.s. that is about to ensue from John McCain. :(

7. He's sincere.
Agree with his answers or not, at least it's clear he's studied these issues and understands them.

McCain doesn't even seem to know WTF the interviewer's talking about half the time.
