5. Excuse me? Did I hear you right?
Control protesters? Excuse me, but I believe that's what we're trying to fight. Would you rather another joke of a staged press conference or "public" speech by Dubyah? You can't have ot both ways chief.

8. He can't even shut up a crowd that is disruptive
But whatever..you are so blinded by your candidate that you can't see bad leadership.

And further to the subject and poster at hand... In case you didn't notice MalloyLiberal, I'm not voting for Obama, as says my avitar. Nice try though.

12. Who can silence protestors?
It's done by screening crowds and use of force... you think he should have been more eager to use those tactics? I'm not an Obama fan by any means and probably will refuse to vote him if he makes it to the general election, but you're not being fair here.

15. Morton West HS Protest and Senator Obama
Anyone know if Senator Obama showed any support of the students at Morton West High School facing expulsion for an anti-war demonstration? I realize he is a US Senator and public schools are locally controlled but if he showed any support of those students then I would be impressed. I doubt he would have for a variety of reasons, but does anyone know?

18. As a matter of fact
Obama looked them in the eye and attempted to engage in some sort of intelligent dialogue. They weren't gonna, because that was not their mission.

Kerry, on the other hand, looked up to the sky and started whistling, wishing it would all go away. And THAT was just someone asking questions.

One other thing Obama could have done would be to invite a couple down to the platform and let them ask a question or two or make their statement and then address their points.

Using this as a means to discredit Obama is completely bogus.

21. jeepers creepers
As if anyone can control fetus fetishists.

Blaming Obama for the actions of these nutjobs makes no sense. You may as well blame him for dropping the bomb on Hiroshima.
