Obama still going after Edwards (today in Delaware)

Obama in Wilmington Delaware: "I was asked during the debate, Tim Russert said, 'what's your biggest weakness?' I said, 'well, I'm always losing paper, so I always have to have someone around me to file things, keep my desk clean. He asked, 'Well, Senator Edwards, what's your biggest weakness?' He said, 'Well, I'm just so passionate about helping poor people.'"


I think Obama will not have Edwards in his administration.

3. It's a joke
You know..a funny?

As I said in another thread, Hillbots really seem to be missing their senses of humor.

26. It's a bad joke
Edwards is out of the race and both Hillary and Barack have spent the past few days praising him for his work. It's just a cheap shot, it's one of those things that could have been left out.

8. I think you see an attack where there is none(assuming you saw it as one)
He has used that line a number of times i believe, i see no reason why he should stop using it(besides, from what i heard his tone wasn't condensing or insulting)

20. The whole quote
"Because I’m like, an ordinary person, I thought that they meant what’s your biggest weakness?" Mr. Obama said. "So I said, ‘Well, I don’t handle paper that well. You know, my desk is a mess. I need somebody to help me file and stuff all the time.’ So the other two they say uh, they say well my biggest weakness is ‘I’m just too passionate about helping poor people. I am just too impatient to bring about change in America."

As the room erupts in laughter, he continues: "If I had gone last I would have known what the game was. 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.’"

In a tone rich with sarcasm, Mr. Obama launched into a fresh critique about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s answer on how she had voted on a bankruptcy bill in Congress.

"This was a bill she voted for in 2001 and that the credit card companies and the banks had been pushing to make it harder for people to get out of debt and reduce the 30-percent interest on the credit cards and folks had been going bankrupt for it," he said. "She was asked about it by Tim Russert and she said, ‘Oh I voted for it but I’m glad to see that it didn’t pass.


That is exactly what they said their weaknesses were, so what is your problem ?

21. I hope not, Obama only wants "yes" men
His personality reminds me of Bush's: very thin skinned, arrogant and hostile to anyone who disagrees with him.

Who would want to work for someone like that?

22. Did you watch the debate? Where he specifically said he did NOT want 'yes men'?
Do you just pull these things out of your ass?
