I don't care, call me an Obamabot:
I fucking love this man.

To listen to him talk is a drink of cool water in hell.

He might just lead us out of the wilderness of the Bush/investor class fascism.....


Every time I doubt what he is about, that he is behind the curve, he completely beats me to death with his breadth of knowlege and command of the issues.


:loveya:

5. Interesting. I love him precisely because I'm NOT a bot....
He appeals to my intellectual side even more than my emotional. And that's not a low bar I'm setting.

42. If he had an ounce of sense, he'd back off. I'm dubious he has that much sense, though.
He's bound to get a few snuffs before he gets clueful. :evilgrin:

specific question.....

Compared to every other public speaker I have ever heard do a Q and A he is hands down the world heavyweight champ.

23. Obama is CLASS
I think Obama is probably the BEST president we will have in this country for years to come. It's refreshing to have him and his family representing our country. He actually CARES about this country and he's not afraid to show it and he's not afraid to take the flack for showing it.

He and his wife have class. At first I wanted Hillary and I really supported her, when I saw that she wasn't going to get it..I got on board with Obama and haven't looked back.

I still like the Clintons and they were good for their time and Bill did great things for this country. Obama is on a par with political intelligence as much as Bill is...but Obama has something more. He KNOWS and FEELS he will have to be a GREAT president, not just the first African American to get elected...and just wing it along.

I will support this man any way I can and I love his coolness. He is one man who will NOT crack under pressure. Just to actually hear him say that HE is responsible for what happens under his watch is reassuring. What the country needs is someone who can give us confidence and Barack Obama is the man to do it.

70. The ship metaphor he used was really good
This country is not a speedboat you can just turn around - it's an enormous ship. He also cast himself as captain without having to say it specifically.

No more Decider! Just a captain, and a cool and thinking one at that!

The day he nominated Steve Chu, I was certainly going very ga-ga :loveya:...

Geithner and his economic team usually temper my affection a bit with most of their moves, but I like Mr O's scientific and environmental policies very much.

I missed the speech today due to work.

59. Well, Billo isn't used to hearing anyone speak for more than 2 seconds because, if
they happen to be eloquent and informed, he shouts them down. The idiots with whom he agrees aren't capable of much more than monosyllabic grunts. Or, as in the case of Dubya, mangled folksy "wisdom" followed by chuckling at his own "joke">

... very easy on the eyes.

Damn, I love the way he answers questions -- always so cool and polite to friend and foe, never breaks a sweat, never rises to the bait -- but if it's an idiot question he just wipes the floor with them. Politely. And thoroughly.

I LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT BEFORE I SPEAK

Seriously, the man can explain things in a simple way for everyone to understand but show that he knows his stuff on all the issues. He slams the idiot reporters. I have never seen a President give it right back to them like that. Its hilarious.

64. It's still early in the year. Arlen Specter may have just committed political suicide.
He's trailing badly even among Republican voters, and his abandoning Labor on EFCA may have just sealed his fate.
