Obama on O'Reilly
Anybody catch it last night? It was pretty good. Obama did a pretty good job and Bill didn't let him off the hook. There will be three more days of the interview on Monday, Tuesday, and Wed next week.
Here is a transcript of last night if anyone is interested. http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008...ma_interv.html

I didn't watch, but I'm suprised he did the interview considering what a partisan O'Reilly is.

I think the plan is to sneak her in during the next two months without even the press getting a chance to vet her. Any policy discussions will only be with partisan press. The only mainstream appearances will be discussing child care and cookie recipes on the view. Obama doesn't just go to the happy places. This gives me a lot more confidence in the man.

But this hail Mary hockey mom craps just doesn't fly. Is she going to be the one who whispers in his ear to remind him of the difference between Hamas and Hezbollah and who's backing who? Exactly what kind of advice is McCain going to ask of her? What gaps in his experience does she fill? The debates this year are going to be interesting.

It doesn't matter though, McCain will still lose. A lot more Republicans who won't vote because of his VP choice will vote for Obama than there are angry Hillary supporters who will vote for McCain.

All the churchies in my homeschooling groups seem to approve of her. I'm not sure why exactly, no one has really said... personally I don't understand having strong feelings about her either way... But they're all excitedly buying up tickets to see her and McCain tomorrow at a town meeting.
The more I hear from either side of this mess, the more I want to leave the country. Tahiti would be ideal...

I though the fight between Obama and Clinton became a sad circus act. This is no different.

Why do they like her? That's easy - she's really... well, you know... and she... it's kind of hard to say, but she's never.... and we certainly know she isn't Obama or Biden.
and there you have it. More likely they've got this idea because she is an outsider and a Christian, family oriented, not-uber rich, mother of a gazillion that she'll go to Washington and be different. and different = change. and change = good. (as long as we're talking about changes we agree with) They're so caught up in the idea of her being different that right now they can't even stop to realize that you can't clean up Washington without a wholesale eviction party. They have as much reason to be excited about her as some people got about Obama after he started his presidential campaign approximately 38 seconds after winning his senate seat.

for the sake of clarity, that wasn't meant as a huge compliment to her or a huge insult to him.
I really don't get it. I do like that she is an outsider who has a past (albeit short) of tossing her fellow republicans under the bus if they're corrupt, but i'm not jumping up and down and wiping tears of joy just yet. I felt the same when Obama broke on the scene. He read the word "change" from the teleprompter with greater sincerety and conviction than anyone I've seen in a long time, but but but, but I want more than "just words".

Of course not, she put the kibosh on the Bridge to Nowhere. Well, she didn't really, but she likes to pretend she did.
