But he was waiting to see if Hillary would, and she didn't, so he just played tag. As always.

He tells Kennedy, a fire-breathing liberal, 'you're too old, you used to be a fighter.' Then he tells Paul Krugman, 'you're a 60's relic, we don't have to fight anymore.' Ironically, he's talking about Medipork Part D in the video. Medipork was defeated in the House, but Speaker Hastert kept the vote open all night while Bush strong-armed the votes to pass -- exactly the kind of thing Krugman warns about. Will Obama strong-arm to get universal healthcare? No, he conceded on universal before the fight even started. The bottom line on Obama is he is full of ____.

Most people "idealize" their candidates to an extent. I know Gore isn't perfect, but he's less imperfect that most everyone currently running. I prefer to idealize over cynical maneuvering any day. “Here we go with the Idealization of Al Gore As Saviour of the World again!”

He is coming across more as a silly child then a serious candidate for the highest office in the country. Even Bush didn't tick us off until he got into office. I have only 3 words to say to Barry GO AWAY KID. Where is the new kind of politics that Obama preached in the first few months?
