7. He did say that .. hey I've been a critic as much as anyone

dating back to the primaries, but you have to be fair.

This was one of the first things out of his mouth:

I do think, though, that the American people are all in a place where they understand it took us a while to get into this mess, it's going to take a while for us to get out of it. And if they have confidence that I'm making steps to deal with issues like health care and energy and education, that matter deeply to their daily lives, then I think they're going to give us some time. (Applause.)

11. The fact that he behaves like a human being with faults

actually gives me more confidence he understands and empathizes with real life problems and issues that affect the average person.

I was a fierce Obama critic during the primaries and I've really started warming up to him .. particularly his humility and normal person behavior .. ie, the NCAA brackets.

And BTW, that's a joke the pros would make. If anything, you would be arguing he needs to act less like a pro and be politically correct .. something that does not exist in an overwhelming percentage of stand-up. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=215x89551#89608

So you fail miserably with your dishonesty, ha NJMaverick? You've completely twisted my record and continue to insinuate I'm bitter about the primaries. This forum is just a pathetic circle jerk, I'm telling you what.

And BTW, there's no proof at all that Bonds knowingly took steroids. When he's acquitted, I'll entertain your apology.
