Which one is Ivan Drago?

DRJ,
I remember reading some of the write ups when Obama was first considering a run. The pundits said it was a win win for him. If he pulled off the miracle of 08 great, if not he is well positioned for 2012 if Hillary loses to the GOP.

Probably good strategy on his part but I think he may be regretting that decision now as some of his inexperience has been exposed.

Obama is the “Seuter” candidate???

That may be true from our standpoint but she’s going to need someone who can keep the extreme left on board. The more she goes to the middle, the more the “peace now” crowd loses faith.

DRJ - I think there might be something to the idea that he doesn’t want to needlessly antagonize the Clinton machine given his age and the fact that he can be a viable Dem. candidate for Pres for another 4-5 election cycles. I really don’t think she is interested in him being her VP — he’s got too much wattage for her. Richardson is the perfect “go sit in your office, we’ll call you if we need you” kind of guy.

But, a second take on Obama is maybe there just isn’t much there below the surface. The guy has yet to make a memorable speech, and he’s got no earth-shaking policy views. While he gave a great speech in 2004, he’s yet to excite the electorate.

The reality is he’s a partial term Senator from an overwhelmingly Dem. state, who has lost the only contested election he ever ran in. Every election he has won has been a walk-over.

He’s NRPT — Not Ready for Prime Time.

I wonder if Obama tries to half-way or half-heartedly confront Hillary because he wants to be considered for her VP and, someday, President.

Nels — so, does that mean that Obama really wants to be President in 2012 or 2016?

It sounds like Hillary had some trouble last night, too.

In the first movie, yes, but Rocky beats Apollo in the sequel.
