SkinsHokieFan Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Obama just became President on this last trip overseas As I said in another thread, he has the look and feel of a President, and we may as well get this election over with and him in office sooner then January 20th. He will easily cross 300 EV's and 54 percent of the vote. Bush is completely irrelevant, and McCain is not even visible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teller Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 It was an arrogant statement, but the potential leader of the free world should have a confidence that borders on arrogance -- and occasionally crosses the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCranon21 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 The statement was arrogant, yes I agree, but you need confidence and the swagger in order to convince people you are the man for the job and to lead the country. So I voted no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Funny, the last polls I saw (which were quoted on the Sunday Morning political shows) had Obama with a 9 point lead. Still, he needs to be careful in walking that confidence/arrogance line. He does sound a bit ****y there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCMONEY Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I don't know if Obama will win or not but stop hating. Anything Obama does is viewed as arrogant or whatever. He's not anymore arrogant than past presidential participants. I just hope this election is clean this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does sound a bit ****y there. I think that the luster he has will wear off once the debates start. All we have seen is canned speeches so far from him. IF and thats a big if, the "journalists" don't throw him underhand pitches, I can see both candidates having a hard time laying out their points and plans. If McCain falters the "old, blind and senile" man will have less stumbling distance than Obama, who's advisers and handelers have his image polished.

Heisenberg Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I've said many times that H_H is one of the few posters from the "other side" that can often make me think - as opposed to the usual Sarge and GoSkins type posts that seem to be occuring more often.

DjTj Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 :laugh:(I'm in denial that I'm not the arch-conservative I used to be.) Well, maybe not necessarily just based on political viewpoint, but BigMike often does seem like a wild, untamed version of you. Like if a hog was backed into a corner and had to post replies rapidly and unpredictably to get out.For example, see this thread: http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=253535 There's nothing hog-lite about that.

War Paint Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Wow. Sounds like Obama is getting the God complex now. I'm surprised he didn't feed 200,000 germans with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

July 30, 2008 Gallup Daily: Presidential Race Tightens to 4 Points Obama leads McCain, 46% to 42% PRINCETON, NJ -- After moving into a nine percentage point lead over John McCain in Gallup Poll Daily tracking of national registered voters this past weekend, Barack Obama now leads by just four points, 46% to 42%. Today's results are based on Gallup Poll Daily tracking from July 27-29. The percentage of voters favoring Obama for president swelled from 45% in July 21-23 tracking, conducted at the outset of Obama's weeklong visit to Europe and the Middle East, to 49% in July 24-26 interviewing conducted at the height of publicity surrounding the tour. At the same time, McCain's support ebbed from 43% to 40%, and the percentage of undecided voters fell from 7% to 4%. With Obama now back on U.S. soil and filling less of the nightly news, voter preferences have reverted to their pre-trip levels.
