2. wonderful to see a presidential candidate with a spine.
Obama is not my first choice, but I would support him proudly if he wins. We need more members of Congress to stand up for what's right, not what's expedient.

3. Hell yeah!! I hope he gets a poll bump from this, and he and the
other "contenders" wake up to the fact that opposition to bushler on almost all fronts is paramount. This is what "we the people" are waiting for.:bounce: :toast: :thumbsup: :woohoo: :applause: :patriot:

6. Looks like Reid lobbed in a softball for Obama to knock out of the park.
Good for Obama.

Remember - nothing is ever what it seems.

25. Could be that, or maybe Obama's giving a little FU to Reid
for moving up that important vote while Obama was on the road.
:shrug:

But Obama's stated reasons for opposition are good enough, and heartening to see.

8. Kudos, Barack! What Bush's FEC nominee did to purge the voter rolls in 2000 was totally outrageous!
It truely made the difference in the Bushies being able to steal Florida from Gore in 2000!

10. Gotta admit, this is a smart move. And a good move for the
country.

If he gets a big jump in the poll numbers by defying bush** watch Hillary. She'll be bush**s worst nightmare.

27. Obama for Senate Majority leader
If he doesn't win the nomination that is. I'm not an Obama backer, but I like his movement lately.
