I should have been supporting this brilliant man from the beginning.
I listened to his speech today live on the radio while between stops
and I was floored by his words and his humanity.

I hope we have enough sense to elect him President.

5. Shhhhh...she's infinitely more electable and more popular!
Aren't you paying attention to her supporters!

I feel for them. I'm sure someone will call using the old saying sexist...but hey, someone has to try and put lipstick on that pig.

16. ignore thesnotty remarks. uplift yourself today. always make it
positive, why this man is best. None of the snotty remarks deserve to be acknowledged. Make it forward like the man says, not backwards with the hicks.

3. I switched from Hillary to Obama just before the Colorado caucuses.
I've looked back over my shoulder a few times, but he sealed it today with me.
Absolutely sealed it.

Obama says US cannot ignore race

He challenged the nation not to ignore the issue of race "this time" - while acknowledging that white Americans, especially the working class, also had their problems.

"If we walk away now, if we simply retreat into our respective corners, we will never be able to come together and solve challenges like health care, or education, or the need to find good jobs for every American."

Race has emerged as an issue on several occasions in the battle between Mr Obama and Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, but at no time before has Mr Obama addressed it so directly.

6. Why do Obama supporters do that?
I keep seeing posts where they say the opposite of what the subject is in the message...Usually a sad subject header, followed by a happy message. How come?

I was first for Kucinich then for Edwards.

8. Same obama, different day.
I've NEVER made the mistake of supporting obama and I NEVER will. Behind the scripted pretty words by speech writers is another fraud of a politician.

19. He wrote this speech. I know you want to believe differently
but tough. And if you won't vote for him if he's the nominee, you're a lousy dem and a worse American.
