• Repeating what the problem is
• Talking about how critical it is to solve the problem
• Emphasizing that we need to be working toward a solution to the problem
• Then finally stating that they're the only qualified people who can solve the problem

First off, getting wiggy over Obama's stutter? WTF? SO you'd rather another 4000 Americans die in Iraq and Afghanistan than elect Obama? Disclaimer, I'm an Edwards supporter.

Next, Thomas Jefferson stuttered. And not the slow, cadence style talking of Obama, but real stuttering, getting stuck on words, fumbling with his tongue to get ideas out. Abraham Lincoln was said to have a voice like dying cat's hollering, which I must assume was pretty nasty. Calvin Coolidge hardly spoke at all. I'd rather America focus on the ideas and issues we're facing, rather than who is has a better speech pattern, who has speech impediments, who has the best hair, whose daddy was an admiral. This crap is killing our democracy, and the talking heads pundits like Scarborough and Tweety and Wallace, and Bow Tie Boy all are earning a seat close to Satan for what they are doing to our government.

As for Hillary and Obama not saying hello, yes Obama didn't go up to Hillary. HOWEVER, HILLARY DIDN'T GO UP TO OBAMA EITHER. When someone doesn't call you, and you get pissy about it, remember your phone has numbers that you can use to call them just as easily as they can dial yours. Once again, if this is really an issue in the 2008 Presidential election, I'm embarassed for the USA, democracy, and humanity. I'd understand if Stacey and Becca had dissed Heather at the mall, I mean, OMG, how could they! Because that is high school drama queen BS. If the debate becomes who didn't shake who's hand at the SOTU address... GAAAA!

As for having the qualifications, lets check the US Constitution;

• 35 years old
• native born American

Yep, Obama is qualified.

What we need is a discussion about ideas. Who is going to open up opportunity for ALL Americans to live their life the way they want to, to achieve their dreams. Who can steer the ship pf state out of the perfect storm created by 8 years of mismanagement, supply side economics, and cronyism.

Is it my imagination or is the MSM devoting a miminum of twice as much time to Obama as any other candidate?

Could it be they know their salaries are going to be cut the minute Clinton takes office, by an increase in taxes? 

Seems to me they're backing Obama because they (media) know that if Clinton wins the nomination, she won't be beat by a GOP candidate - on the other hand, if Obama wins the nomination the GOP will be able to chew him up and spit him out.

When he ignored Clinton last night, he proved to the world that he's not presidential material.  Anyone can ignore someone, it takes guts to meet them at the pass.

As far as Teddy, Caroline and Patrick supporting Obama, they have lots to lose if Hillary becomes POTUS.

P.

How is not voting for Obama going cause 4000 more deaths in Iraq????

Qualifications---Calling William Crum; you qualify! By not being cordial to Hillary shows immaturity. Patricia is right, the media is on the Obama bandwagon and I believe the GOP doesn't want to go up against a strong woman. Who cares about the drunken Ted Kennedy's support?

So exactly what are Obama's ideas besides "change", change what? Nothing really changes but here is something interesting; Bush last night said he has ideas on healthcare but will fund the war. He doesn't give a crap about healthcare. Why? Bush has never had to worry about a single thing in his life because it was all handed to him, he's a lazy a******.

True Independent, if Obama wins hang on for the ride, it will be a repeat of embarrassing antics.

Obama stutters when he's trying to figure out how to answer a question that he struggles to answer, but the applaud breaks out when he says the magic words of; change and yes we can.

What an insensitive progressive liberal you are:
