It makes me wonder now that he only got the lucky break to become the Democratic candidate due to his grassroots approach but it surely shows the he sorely lack the finesse of being a true leader... The real crapper is that our disdain for Bush forces us the vote for 'anything-but-Bush' and then we have buyer's remorse later by putting an eloquent but lame racehorse as POTUS.</description></item><item><title>Obama: Raising his voice</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/11/1377818.aspx#1377981</link><pubDate>Thu, 11 Sep 2008 13:44:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1377981</guid><dc:creator>Tired of John McCain and Sarah Palin Lying</dc:creator><description>Barack Obama raise your voice anytime you want, because I know you are speaking FOR the American people.</description></item><item><title>Obama: Raising his voice</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/11/1377818.aspx#1377988</link><pubDate>Thu, 11 Sep 2008 13:45:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1377988</guid><dc:creator>MIA in Miami</dc:creator><description>Good!
