Obama: “I Think I’ve Been Very Clear” on this “silly question”, on CBS 2 in Chicago.
This is 100% meaningless of course, yet still noteworthy since it will be used as an attack point even though no one cares that he changed his mind, but are actually very HAPPY he did.
Barack Obama announced his bid for president Saturday, a black man evoking Abraham Lincoln’s ability to unite a nation and a Democrat portraying himself as a fresh face capable of leading a new generation.
“Let us transform this nation,” he told thousands shivering in the cold at the campaign’s kickoff.
Obama, 45, is the youngest candidate in the Democrats’ 2008 primary field dominated by front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and filled with more experienced lawmakers. In an address from the state capital where he began his elective career 10 years ago, the first-term U.S. senator sought to distinguish himself as a staunch opponent of the Iraq war and a White House hopeful whose lack of political experience is an asset.
“I know I haven’t spent a lot of time learning the ways of Washington. But I’ve been there long enough to know that the ways of Washington must change,” Obama said to some of the loudest applause of his 20-minute speech.
Has this item been removed b/c Obama doesn’t want you people to see what a lying scumbag he is?
I’ve bookmarked this because I found it funny. I would be very interested to hear more info on this. Excellent!
