go from supporting the Constitution-candidate

If you bother to read Obama's speech, you may notice that he begins by talking about the Constitution, and ends by talking about the Constitution.

In his previous speeches he has repeatedly spoken of his respect for the Constitution, denounced torture, called for restoring habeas corpus, etc.

He occasionally mentions in his speeches that for years he taught constitutional law. Not just anywhere, but at the conservative University of Chicago Law School.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

When confronted with the choice of "lesser of two evils" - recognize that you are still voting for evil and choose not to play.

Some of these pathetic folks wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they couldn't at least pretend to be playing in the game...

You'll have to excuse me if I wait for proof before I believe that.

Ron Paul is obviously a very courteous gentleman, something very different from how you present yourself on this forum.

And, as you admitted above, Ron Paul and Kucinich are friends. I very much doubt if he would speak of him in anything like the terms you indicated above.

My hope is that the awakening that Dr.Paul started across the country, and the world, will continue on the local level. That's where most all these criminal cretins that wind up in deecee got their start, after all.

An awful lot of the elitists start at at least the Congressional level.

All eyes are on Obama now. It is "lead or die" for his campaign at this moment.

Could be he's trying to hold his party together.

If he gets a chance to go one on one with McInsane the picture may become clearer.

He has hinted at bipartisanship, even to the point of implying non-Dims in his administration.

I will be anxious to see if he expands on this at cutting time,

The Democrat party is pretty much in a civil war right now. That much we know for a fact.

If Obama is truly trying to be the "coalition" candidate, he will announce how he will deliver this.

Many people are so cynical with regards to Government right now that they don't believe it until they see it.

Obama bought himself a pass with his speech today, but the price is stepping up to the plate and being a leader. Delivering on his words begins with articulating a vision and then a plan.

Without that, he falls on his face as being an empty suit.

Thinking about some of his comments, his "My mother looked over her shoulders for ni**ers" echoes CHRIS ROCK. Is Obama going to blast Chris Rock now? I don't think so.

As time goes on and people have time to think about this speech, more "WTF?" items like that will come out.

That's the most patriotic bag of horse puckey I've ever seen handled by a Black Panther Marxist quisling Council on Foreign Relations puppet...

Yeah, it was a good speech and it seems that some people are bound and determined to overlook the fact that he is an establishment puppet just like those they rail against. ONE decent man running but he didn't get much play in the establishment media. But notice how there is no shortage of it for this guy. Obama, Clinton, McCain, all just alike other than the obvious difference of gender and color.
