The words of Jack Cafferty - and he is completely correct!
I watched the interview and you could see that Barack Obama was cool, calm and very collected.
Speaking with Wolf Blizter in a very presidential way Obama wasn’t as nervous as he has been of late - we can understand why he has, his whole career could have been in doubt with some of the things that have been thrown his way.
Obama answered honestly, as he has always on this campaign.
Obama downplayed headlines and stories, such as the cover of Time magazine, that have declared him the Democratic presidential nominee.
He was humble and he went on to praise Hillary Clinton with her campaign, again, as he should:
“Sen. Clinton has shown herself to be an extraordinary candidate. She’s tireless, she’s smart, she’s capable, and so obviously she’d be on anybody’s short list to be a potential vice presidential candidate,” he said. “But it would be presumptuous of me at this point … to somehow suggest that she should be my running mate.”
An excellent interview - and hopefully the interview was with the next president of the USA.

Anyone wanting to judge Barack Obama’s abilities to serve as our president should spend a few hours reviewing his observations on “reclaiming the American dream.” You can read them, along with his perspectives on family, faith and politics and education, in his best selling “Audacity of Hope”.

Why is CNN just showing stories about Obama? He’s the most unqualified person to ever run for President.

Based on what evidence? If you want to talk about someone whose unqualified to be President take a look at the past 7 years.
Truth is, nobody knows how any of these candidates will do as President…the only thing you can do is vote for who you think will do a good job and hope for the best.

From my observation Obama is very qualified to be president. He sees how the bush administration has ruined our once great country and the world and he knows what needs to be done to fix it. He’s super intelligent, calm,cool and collected and he will be a great president. He’s my man and I am not black, or young, but I see the future being very bright with Obama in the Oval office.

I used to be a Florida Democrat. Not any more.
Barack Obama and Howard Dean have used their power to deny rather than defend the rights of Americans to participate in our election process. He can try to silence us and throw away our vote, but Barack Obama’s oppression of the American people won’t be tolerated. The one thing we can count on as Americans is the right to vote. Obama can’t take that away from us - America will not tolerate his oppression!

Please explain to me how he’s done this?

Hillary is an experienced and appreciated hand at the dirty of business of Washington politics.
As VP and thus President of the Senate, she would be an asset to Obama.
Yes, Obama was Editor of the Harvard Law Review. Please, after Bush, let us be elitist!

Of course he looked at ease and very presidential.
Wolf sat him down on a velvet cushion and
tossed him softball questions.
Wolf let Obama take total control of the interview and let Obama stop him from questioning him further on the issues raised.
Just like Suzanne Malveaux’s interview with
Obama’s wife. They double talk or say i’m
not going to discuss that . Sorry but it’s the
American people who say whether your
done answering certain questions to their
satisfaction or not.
