But I thought Obama's response was kinda snarky. Not horrible, just not a shining moment for him.Sue Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372579806614287004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-42167097574057466762008-01-07T13:29:00.000-06:002008-01-07T13:29:00.000-06:00Bluegal,I agree with you about Obama's comment.

His head was tilted and the feeling part of the comment was low frequency perhaps, but the body language did not seem hostile at all.<BR/><BR/>And I thought that Stephanophole was a bit prickish about it. Old loyalties die hard, eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-56428259534705790192008-01-07T07:27:00.000-06:002008-01-07T07:27:00.000-06:00Thanks for your comment BG.

Got a lot of respect for you and even more after learning from a friend that you are Quaker.<BR/>I thought Obama looked awfully good and very presidential in the speech in Iowa.<BR/>Obviously the gender gap is closing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-42034442318251366922008-01-07T05:37:00.000-06:002008-01-07T05:37:00.000-06:00I often find myself saying "Hold me, Yoda" — when ...I often find myself saying "Hold me, Yoda" — when I can't find me a sex bomb, that is. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Hmm, I wonder about that exchange. I was just watching the debates, which I taped. <BR/><BR/>I thought Hillary's line was said mainly in jest and Obama's response was partially in jest but also meant in kindness. I guess that's not completely different from your take, BG, and I'd probably have to see it again. I guess you think the press will cover it as a dig? Likely some will. Oyyy. <BR/><BR/>General reactions: I lost count of the lies I heard from the GOP, and Bill Richardson earns my disgust with his "bipartisan" blather and whining about incivility at a pretty civil function. Kucinich shouldn't have excluded, to my mind. I thought Hillary Clinton was far more defensive than previously, and Edwards was the sharpest and most passionate.Batocchiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02193752396025012825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-90059771433123948672008-01-06T19:07:00.000-06:002008-01-06T19:07:00.000-06:00i think Tom Jones inspired several subsequent gene...i think Tom Jones inspired several subsequent generations<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt5z4PhS95c" REL="nofollow">cherry bomb</A>Ghost Dansinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15216056025402469120noreply@blogger.com
