His self restraint and composure is quite remarkable.
And why the electorate now feels comfortable with the idea of him being President.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

No Angry Black Man there.
(Sometimes I'd swear McCain says the shit he says to try and piss Obama the fuck off.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
So not sorry I didn't watch if that's how y'all are reacting.

He was not my first choice, but I have to say that his composure under fire has impressed me. I admit to being slow to warm up to Barack, but several things have converted me. First, I am impressed with his decision making processes and skill. Example the best, Biden vs. Palin. Second, the cool unflappable composure. This is probably the same factor that contributed to it taking a while for me to warm to him, but staying cool and composed under extreme pressure is a admirable quality. So, perhaps late to the party, but total fan girl. Go Obama!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Barack was not my first choice either, but I came around to him with his speech after the Rev. Wright stuff blew up.

“Not dead yet!”
Not my first choice either, but the calm and cool, plus the willingness to admit he's said some really boneheaded things have been key in winning me over.
After eight years of a toddler screaming that he wasn't wrong, no, no, no, no way was he wrong! it's refreshing to see someone in a leadership position willing to say, "Yeah, I was wrong."

Oh joy, my congressman made TDS. Oh well, he wasn't quite the disgrace as his predecessor.

I like him as a person. I still think he will make some very wrong decisions, but so would any Democrat with a chance of getting elected. And his wrong decisions will be substantially less wrong than the ones any of the Republicans, would make. Sorry - I'm very enthusiastic about not electing McCain. I'm not enthusiastic about the fact that even though its obvious where we are going, no one with a chance of winning really wants to get out of the handbasket.
