Obama: "It's just like I imagined it would be talking to my kindergarten teacher."

Obama rides momentum from Iowa

By Sasha Issenberg, Globe Staff

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. -- Barack Obama, in his first rally in the Granite State since winning the Iowa caucuses, reveled this morning in the enthusiasm of supporters.

"This feels good," he said. "It's just like I imagined it would be talking to my kindergarten teacher."

That was a sly reference to an essay he wrote while a tyke about wanting to be president. Rival Hillary Clinton's campaign tried to use it to question Obama saying he had only recently thought about running for the White House, but the attack appeared to backfire as petty politics.

Meanwhile, Deval Patrick will help Obama in New Hampshire this weekend try to build on the momentum from Iowa, Patrick's political committee announced today.

The Massachusetts governor, who campaigned with Obama in Iowa, plans to knock on doors in Manchester and speak at house parties across southern New Hampshire. They share a personal history and their campaigns are similar as well. Patrick served in the administration of President Bill Clinton, but said he endorsed Obama because he believes in his ability to unite the country around an agenda for change.

I also love his sense of humor!

supposedly wrote an "essay."

Hell, if I could've written an ESSAY when I was in kindergarden, I'D probably be President by now.:hi:

But I've seen enough of your posts to catch a clue about you. Particularly one that was locked. I'm sure you know just what I mean.

:thumbsup:

It's very insightful. Add a little more CAPS.

Here! Let me help!

:rofl:

Look him up on you tube if you haven't seen him speak. He's special.

That was awesome!

:thumbsup: Obama!

Right up there with claiming a war hero didn't deserve his medals, or remaking the daisy ad.

I hate cocky people.
