Here’s what Obama doesn’t get: Yes, the American people are hungry for answers to America’s problems. But Obama’s “answers” aren’t going to lead the country. If elected, Obama is. The man, himself. So the ABC questions were, in fact, entirely appropriate, and if anyone drew the conclusion from the debate that Obama isn’t up to the job, it’s entirely fair.

John McCain had to answer some tough questions — from his captors in a POW camp. How do you think most voters will assess the candidates’ relative strengths in the face of difficult situations. Obama should have owned the moment on ABC, if he was all he’s cracked up to be.

Republicans probably rue the day they elected George W. Bush to the presidency, not because he disagrees with them, but because he wasn’t up to the job, and thus discredited not just himself, but the movement he was supposed to represent. I used to be very excited about Obama, but now I think he’s a disaster on stilts for the Democratic party, who has created an almost impossible dilemma for the party this summer. Oy.

I’ve always wanted a president that complains about Americans asking him (or her) questions. How DARE they! As the saying goes,”when the going gets tough, the whiners start whining” or something like that.

That is an amazing Video. The Democratic Party has in Obama, a Bill Clinton who is not a phony, sex-obsessed liar.

The Clinton’s have been around for 16 + years, they have made themselves multi-millionaires and the Democratic Party a joke.

The Clinton’s have wealth and power and a host of seedy, wealthy powerful friends. Go Bill Clinton, and take your damned wife with you.

Let America rise from its Blue Dress status under The Clinton’s and let Obama lead us into the real future. Nit the pretend Bridge to The Clinton’s Personal Wealth, but the Future where we are a strong nation under a strong Democratic Party.

Thank you for the video.
