Obama Plays Offense
Even great presidents accomplish only two or three big things. What will you have accomplished at the end of eight years?
We will have ended the war in Iraq in an honorable and strategic way as part of a larger process of rebuilding our standing in the world. We will have passed universal health care and not only expanded coverage, but started on the road toward a more efficient system. And we will have a bold energy agenda that drastically reduces our emission of greenhouse gases while creating a green engine that can drive growth for many years to come.
Why do you think you're a better general-election candidate than Hillary?
I can attract independents and Republicans. In Nevada, there were votes that I got [in rural counties] that Hillary Clinton could not get. There were no votes that she got that I could not get in a general election. And it's fair to say we are inspiring people who were not involved in politics to get involved, and that changes the political map.

Comment: Look who's past is coming back to haunt them, Rezko is in jail, Obama is trying to sell he had no idea Jeremiah Wright was a radical. Elect BO who talks out of both sides of his mouth has no real concrete ideas of his own. Michelle Obama, is finally proud of America, we all need to look at what we are being sold, a bunch of radical racial hatred, I think you forgot to polish Michelle's views, no matter how much you spin all of this, Jeremiah Wright's hatred will be the glow that leaves the lasting impression.
Talk about getting nothing done, let BO in and we will have all sides fighting, for a uniter we have had more fighting in the democratic party than past years. You can call the Clinton's whatever, but we had a surplus, for GW to squander.
Yes BO the time has come for the people to recognize your not what you say you are, the crusader for change is worse than the past and has more baggage to come. For a person that is not about the past you remind us of it everyday,
I just hope it's not to late for us to abandon ship, and right the course, we were almost "bamboozled, but you see I may be an African American, but I care how others are treated, it's not just one sided. I don't want a person in the highest office, keeping company with someone who is "GDing America, because as you say "words matter". I think it's time to address the issues that matter most, and we need a democratic president to address those issues.
