That's what Obama said in response to the first question where NBC's Brian Williams asked Obama which issues Sen. Clinton was voting like a Republican. Clearly, he decided to back off the threaten-USCommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/439133.aspx#439141Wed, 31 Oct 2007 01:10:27 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:439141Doug, Boston, MAUh - sounded to me like he just took her on fairly well. &nbsp; <br> <br>This is a cyclical media thing. &nbsp;This is pile on Barack month. &nbsp;Hillary will get hers. &nbsp;And they'll each have a comeback cycle in the media following those downturns. &nbsp;It's the way it goes. &nbsp;Thanks, media!http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/439133.aspx#439145Wed, 31 Oct 2007 01:11:37 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:439145Edrie, Arlington, VAfind it amazing that after telling the press that he was going after Clinton, he repudiates his own words as the first answer. &nbsp;Clinton, on the other hand, is coming out fightinghttp://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/439133.aspx#439151Wed, 31 Oct 2007 01:12:35 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:439151Aidyn, NY,NYyup he backed out!!! <br> <br>that is why he cannot be president.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/439133.aspx#439156Wed, 31 Oct 2007 01:13:24 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:439156lalchibheYeah Great ! MSNBC's site seems so overburdened by the traffic that it has stopped serving out the Live Video stream. <br>Hmmmm..So now I have to follow the debate using Todd and Mark's live blogging ..I'd prefer the candidates' talking heads to these pundits any day ..http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/439133.aspx#439194Wed, 31 Oct 2007 01:25:10 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:439194Mike, New Castle, DEThats what it sounded like to me.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/439133.aspx#439195Wed, 31 Oct 2007 01:25:15 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:439195Joseph Molfese, Buffalo, NYWhen will Hillary answer a question with something like a straight answer? She brings up Social Security but has no specific plan to solve the problem. Saying &quot;fiscal responsibility&quot; is like saying to get out of debt you need to save money. A plan is needed. She wants to negotiate with Iran but votes for a resolution that takes the first step to another war. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/439133.aspx#439197Wed, 31 Oct 2007 01:25:21 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:439197Mike, New Castle, DEhttp://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/439133.aspx#439199Wed, 31 Oct 2007 01:25:41 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:439199Mike, New Castle, DEThats what it sounds like to me.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/439133.aspx#439212Wed, 31 Oct 2007 01:28:48 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:439212Joseph Molfese, Buffalo, NYObama sounds strong. He is answering questions and showing a clear choice against Clinton. I think Obama Biden would be an unstoppable ticket.
