Obama is funny! Candidates Weakness Answers from the NV debate
At a rally . . . , Mr Obama seemed to take a leaf out of his wife’s book after she had introduced him, drawing a sharp contrast with Mrs Clinton, suggesting she was not truthful and was "willing to say anything to get elected".
In what bordered on a comedy routine, Mr Obama chuckled and the crowd of 300 roared with laughter as he mocked his opponents in Monday’s debate, John Edwards and Mrs Clinton, for their responses to a question about the candidates’ biggest weaknesses.
He recounted how he had answered honestly "because I’m an ordinary person" that "I don’t handle paper that well, my desk is a mess" after being given the question first.
"The other two, they say, 'I’m just too passionate about helping poor people' , 'I am just too impatient to bring about change in America' . If I’d gone last, I’d have known what the game was.
"And then I could have said, 'Well, you know, I like to help old ladies across the street. Sometimes they don’t want to be helped. It’s terrible'."
I did think Clinton's and Edward's answers to that question were lame and total cop outs!
