My take is that Matthews has been seen lately as being goo goo over Obama and had to try to even that out.

But the main thing to get out of this is, know your candidate. Read his blueprint for change from his web site. Read up on his experience in Illinois. This will be the new plan of attack, so be prepared to provide substance in case you're belittled by tweety bird (as Wonkette calls him) on national television.

lol, Obama has no experience, like my wonderful girl Hillary, she should be the one in office. Her first task as President: re-vamp the healthcare system!

What you talkin' 'bout Billis? You not know how to google? Check it out, and become a believer.

Google? What's that? I only use Wikipedia--it's always much more factual than other sources.

Hillary 08' 4eva!!!

re-vamp health care-oh, you mean make hospitals look like the fine facilities in places lie Cuba and South America...
While yer at it, afford citizenship based on one's ability to get here, and of course, make citizenship and access a simple matter birthright for the children of illegals.....even Canadians outlawed that shit because Canada was beginning to look like China-

Health care problems in the US can be solved through educating imbeciles regarding diet, and providing access to more fresh, unprocessed foods-

Obama is as dangerous as all the candidates-same spinfest ya frikkin' fanboys and girls....

Why doesn't the skinny fuck talk about anything real? Because he's a construct, made from political paper-mache and straw.....

There would be no self-induced heart disease, diabetes, and other such malady that cripples the US health care system, were it not for the systematic manipulation of the same...Thank you insurance, thank you fear-mongers and the few who prey on the weak.

"I like Obama, and he's passed some wonderful legislation"
BUllshit-show us fanboy.....

The title is very misleading. Watson is a supporter not his main spokesman or spokesman for that matter. A supporter.

Chris Matthews did a great job embarrassing that guy, but he's not doing his job, he leaves the audience stupider going out then going in.

Adding video to channels (Election08) - requested by kronosposeidon.

well Choggie, guess Fedquip showed up your rhetoric to b just that: empty rhetoric. Obama has accomplishments AND platforms AND specific plans for America. If you weren't so damned busy regurgitating right-wing talkpoints and did some research maybe your argument about his dangerousness could include some FACTS and REASONS rather than just say "he's fulla hot air"

B. Hussein Obama: voting to the left of Ted Kennedy. Is that even possible?
