Barack Obama was most Presidential today
hypocrite Republicans were even bringing him up when asked about Palin's family.

but if anyone saw him on Anderson Cooper discussing the Hurricane they would see the guy is prepared to be President, to lead the country. he understood every side of the issue and was able to give specific detailed answers. something Bush could never do.

i'm glad he even got out that he dind't want to be there unless they asked because it would distract resources from helping the people. but even if he is just the candidate right now, he is doing more than Bush and most other republicans to stay informed about the hurricane and other issues.

the Republicans scaled back the convention because nobody was going to show up. they just used the hurricane as an excuse.

1. He was, indeed.
Did he wing part of that awesome speech today in Milwaukee? That was incredible! I also saw him on Anderson Cooper and he got into logistics and details of what would need to be done after the storm has passed that Bush and McCain certainly haven't bothered with in their superficial and very predicable statements.

7. He's already assumed leadership of this country.
BushCo is following some of Obama's foreign policy proposals and the GOP is now deferring to Senator Obama who said families are off limits.

President Obama is already in charge.

9. He was great. Policies of his have helped crises, experience differences very sound.
He has been leading and proven correct/prescient on foreign policy, and temperament amazing.

I am concerned about another Hail Mary, another candidate, and all will get neutralized. Disrespecting the system, process, the voters, and tamper with the election via media, better cover for vote theft. Will the other side try a Romney on experience.
