he was going to take them on, but apparently played the continued prevent defense, do not say anything to tip the boat...having said enough to cause sizeable listing.

he apparently wants to distance himself from some of his, uh, well, more unsteady supporters ready to brand the clintons and the second coming of nathan bedford forrest and scarlett o'hara...which group includes wide swaths of the liberal blogashere, including this one.

if obama is willing to foreswear these vile insuations about racism and trying to destroy obama so he cannot win, then i suggest his more ludicrous followers try to head his call, because the arrogance is not working, the do the math, no chance, give up hillary arrogance, along with the trashing of the clintons, quite unfairly history will show, this attitude that settled about the obama supporters and campaign is quite a toxic brew, the american people do not like cocky, know it all smart kids, they appreciate confidence and smarts, but do not appreciate having their own deficiencies rubbed in their noses by those who would deign to tell someone when to quit, accuse of heinous offenses and generally act like a group of spoiled children

get over it, we need obama to show some heart, some fire for what he wants, and we get, well, not hot water and steam but a tepid spray.

i am 60 i have seen more than one golden boy who was going to change politics....they aint changed yet
