filkertomThe stupid kind, I mean:
For now, I'm throwing support behind John Edwards. We'll have to see what Chris Dodd does, but Edwards has been saying and doing many of the right things for a number of years now.
In Boston this evening, Senator Obama said: "I'm not running to fulfill some long held plans or because I think it's open to me."....But that's not what Senator Obama's teachers, family, classmates or staff say:I was leaving well enough alone for awhile. But this is just pathetic. See, all you Hillary haters? You don't have to be offensive and misogynistic to find reasons not to vote for her -- she hands them to you. (Same problem I have with Obama, really.)
....In third grade, Senator Obama wrote an essay titled 'I Want To Be a President.' His third grade teacher: Fermina Katarina Sinaga "asked her class to write an essay titled 'My dream: What I want to be in the future.' Senator Obama wrote 'I want to be a President,' she said." [The Los Angeles Times, 3/15/07]
In kindergarten, Senator Obama wrote an essay titled 'I Want to Become President.' "Iis Darmawan, 63, Senator Obama's kindergarten teacher, remembers him as an exceptionally tall and curly haired child who quickly picked up the local language and had sharp math skills. He wrote an essay titled, 'I Want To Become President,' the teacher said." [AP, 1/25/07 ]
