tugmoose Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I know it's youtube, but deserves its own topic. I'd say Obama is polling very high right now. I know I am. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OOO Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 One of my friends works in Obamas campaign headquarters and I sent this link to him. Some of the staff had already seen it. I tried to convince him to show the Obama himself, but no dice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I tried to convince him to show the Obama himself, but no dice. Nothing would more negatively affect his gravitas/dignitas than to court or even acknowledge such foolishness. The guy is running for President trying to prove he has new ideas to offer. Such bullshit like that video will allow people to point to his paper thin resume. He's running for President, not first Rock Star. Clinton tacitly encouraged such attitudes and it allowed people to think of him as being lighweight. Obama is deadly serious and stuff like this will only make his path rockier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I agree with you, Crow, but:He's running for President, not first Rock Star.

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I agree with you, Crow, but: Just sayin'. I wonder if he would do things differently today. However, I bet he hits his knees every night thanking God that GW was elected after him. He is much more fondly regarded now because he was followed in office by a doofus.

ShuckOwens Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Was anyone seriously questioning whether Obama already had the "...oh my gawd, I'm totally gonna pull the lever for the dreamiest candidate" vote locked up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Doesn't have quite the same gravitas as "I Like Ike." Eisenhower had a resume...remember WWII? Obama will struggle to show he's not a lightweight. This stuff will not help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WilcoFan Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Eisenhower had a resume...remember WWII? Obama will struggle to show he's not a lightweight. This stuff will not help. Eisenhower was an a-hole. Read McCullough's Truman and you'll see why. But as far as Obama, he strikes me as a person with real passion about making change and should capitalize on his outsider status as someone who could potentially inspire a nation and as someone who doesn't have a 20 year career in DC making sure the status quo is perpetuated.

anodyne Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I'm not much of a fan of McCullough's work. All presidents were a-holes. nice guys can't do the job (see warren g. harding as an example). At least Ike warned america as he left about the dangers of an unchecked military. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 nice guys can't do the job (see warren g. harding as an example).Does having read "Carter Beats the Devil" count? Because I felt pretty bad for him in that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
