I remember first being floored by Obama during a speech in which he did the exact opposite of this. It was January 20th and Obama walked into the heart of the African American religious community – [...]

What I don’t like about Hillary is the fact that she is using everything she can to downgrade obama. And not only that, she’s using her husband to campaign for her. A woman president would be a nice change, but we need someone who won’t use their gender to get elected.

David, I think you are absolutely right. Obama is a leader in the the true sense of the word. He’s not saying, “trust me, I’ll do it for you.” He’s inspiring and pushing people to take their own leadership. Obama spent several formative years as a community organizer in Chicago and is intimately familiar with the struggles of working families. How do you mobilize people to take control of their lives and their communities? Through love, inspiration and (sometime painful) honesty. Not through fear-mongering and power plays.

The messages ARE different. Hillary has been beating the drum that she has 35 years of experience that trumps the “inexperience” of Obama. That’s not something that Mr. Eaves is making up.

During a speech in Iowa she claimed that “they’ve been after me for 16 years and, much to their dismay, I’m still here, and I’m not going anywhere.”

I think this battle-tested b.s. is proof that a candidate is willing to fight the dirty fight. In that regard, I’m glad that Obama isn’t.

David, regarding your previous post. The “Yes We Can” video posted on dipdive, was actually inspired by Obama’s speech after the New Hampshire primary, not as a result of the South Carolina victory.

Try reading the article in Harpers regarding Obama. Not too flattering. The gist of it is that he is a lot of rhetoric but not so much substance. Which kinda echoes my impression from the little that I’ve read.
