Is the stress getting to him?

Finally, Obama is reevaluating his strategy.
Shame he can't get Hillary more on board, but that just shows his diplomatic skills.
It's not like he'd have to deal with people more difficult than another branch of his own party in the White House.

On the radio today I heard a blurb of Hillary telling her supporters that "they must vote for Obama". One wonders if there's any meaning to her continued use of that phrase. But yea Obama, I'm sure Hillary's not bitter at all and would do all she can to put you into the position she wanted, and thus delay her own goals by another eight years.

What did Obama do as a Community Organizer? Read and find out. It's a very sober analysis and looks at what he did well and not so well.
Some additional thoughts on the article.


A few notes to add to Byron's excellent article on Barack Obama's years as a community organizer. First, clearly the Obama campaign does feel this is a key part of Obama's qualifications to be president, as it shows up in Obama's nomination acceptance speech, Michelle Obama's speech, Biden's speech, several of Obama's ads, etc.
Second, note that Obama and his supporters speak a great deal about Obama's choice to be a community organizer, and not so much on what he actually did. We're continually expected to applaud the decision to try instead of asking about the results. We never hear, "because of his work, Factory X reopened," or "because of Obama's creation of job retraining program Y, the community's unemployment rate reduced from A to B."


It's like they're trying to convince us that just because Obama tried he should be given full credit.

Meanwhile Obama's... ill-thought-out responses continue to mount.

Which politician said this?
You remember that? For it before you were against it? I mean you can’t just make stuff up. You can’t just recreate yourself. You can’t just reinvent yourself. The American people aren’t stupid.


That's Obama, critical of Palin on... earmarks.

A man with $740 million in pork and counting, a man who actually voted for the "bridge to nowhere" is trying to point out Palin's failures on Pork.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said:
Despite being discredited over and over again by numerous news organizations, the McCain campaign continues to repeat the lie that Sarah Palin stopped the Bridge to Nowhere.


So... the bridge is actually being built?

Senator, you're right. One can't make it up. First you vote for the bridge, then later on you try to lay the blame on Palin and say that the bridge wasn't stopped by her.

Just how rattled does Palin have you?

And note that once again Obama has focused on Palin. Way to remind people that you are comparable to the opposition's VP.
