I'm new at this and I am not near as good as those who I come here to read, but is there ANY way to get a msge to the Obama folks that "Joe nice guy is not working".. I have been a steadfast admirer of Obama from the get go - for all the reasons. After the debates tonight I am reminded of Kerry's response to the SwiftBoat creeps.
Would someone please, PLEASE, please, let the Obama campaign know, at this point, when you are basically being slapped in the face, called everything but a stupid, cluesless twinkie, it's OK, OKAY!!!!!! to get a little angry, it's OK, to slap the shoot out of the person calling you a(&*(, would you please!?
Everyone seems to be kindly saying that Obama won... finnessing (sp?) the fine points. I saw McCain being the self-righteous, wrapped-in-the-flag patriot, "hero", condescending actor, in your face bully. No, Obama didn't get 'into' it - and therein lies the problem. Will someone, please, tell Mr. Obama, if he really does actually get it, he needs to vocalize, verbalize, and shout it to the rafters. Subtle doesn't work in these times.
I live in the very red-neck south. While not everyone is moved only by force of personality, if it has to be parsed to the inth degree by the talking heads, given the nonsense that's going on in our country, what the hell is he thinking? Cool is not working. PASSION? Does he actually have any? I want to see it!! For ME. Are you going to actually fight for us Barack? If so, you should be as angry as me. Where is the anger? Where is the passion? Are you for real?....
