you said that it's time now to turn a page in washington; when it's time to turn the page on you, will you go willingly? or will you fight to maintain power and control over the party that might need to move past you?

6. If I could ask Obama two questions...
I would ask:

1. What's the best question I could ask you?
2. What's the answer?

However, there's a risk that he would say...
1. The best question you could have asked is the question that you asked.
2. This is the answer.

9. I think the most important
Edited on Wed Jun-04-08 10:49 PM by laugle
question I would ask is: why do you think the SD's picked you for the nomination over Hillary? If the SD's don't give an explanation to her supporter's, (which I think they deserve), many may not vote with the party.

That's about the only question I have, and prefer not to dwell on the primary, it's over..............

Save the math crap please...........

12. I think he is suggesting ...
... that if Clinton were ahead, Barack would be behaving in the same selfish manner? But its really unclear.

15. I support Obama...
but 8 years from now... 16 years from now, if he's worn out his welcome, hopefully there will be another movement and another energetic candidate to take the reigns...

18. What are you suggesting? That he would not let go after he served his two terms as President?
What a silly question.

19. No, I'm not.

I'm assuming the OP was suggesting that Obama would return 8 years after his term ended; 16 years from today, and try and run his wife or some sort of family insider as the Clintons did -- when they've worn out their welcome. I was actually having a little fun with it, knowing that Obama most likely wouldn't put the country through that.

20. Oh! lol My reading comprehension is faltering at this late hour.
Makes sense, and I agree with you in that I don't think he will. I know a long time in politics changes people, but I think he's made of stronger stuff than most. :)

22. Reminds me of an old Woody Allen short story.
A man's son has been arrested and is scheduled to die, so his father goes to a speech by Lincoln to ask for a reprieve for his son, but he gets so nervous that instead he asks, "How long do you think a man's legs should be?"

To which Abe responds, "Long enough to reach the ground."

:rofl:
