So why is it ok for him insist he can beat others but they can not say the same to him. And I am wondering what are the employees of the LA times thinking of endorsing him? I sure hope the readers are a lil smarter than the writers/editors/owners. If his attitude can't wake voters up to what he is than we americans are doomed. And I think I may just move to canada.
He's not getting arrogant, he's getting desperate.

GETTING THINGS DONE, thats what. :-) You know, actually WORKING towards the "change" Obama talks about. The only thing he's really done since being elected to the Senate is run for President.

Such a team player this guy is! He should be shunned from the Democratic party! Why doesn't he just say: "Vote for me or you're a racist and I'll make SURE you don't get "my" votes!"

Talk about a guy who is wayyyyy to sure of himself. Remember, Hillary is still wayyyyy ahead in most of the states that matter and will provide the most delegates. I am EAGERLY awaiting Obama's upcoming concession speech.
Obama is showing us more how much of an arrogant jerk he is. I believe all these celebritiy endorsements he is receiving has blew up his ego. And despite all his endorsements hillary still beat him in florida and hopefully she will on supertuesday and all the other primaries.

LOL he should be right! He should also learn how to remain a little more humble than what he has been. Obama fail to realise he is not even crossing over to manistream america. I hate to say this but obama is only getting the black vote and as a black woman it's makes me mad that my people are voting for race over political views. And I know if they were voting for thier typical political view they probably would have went for either edwards or hillary over obama.

I guess (ignoring your ungrammatical frothings) its the black vote in Iowa that put Obama over the top.

And the small state of Iowa is the only place where he got the majority white vote. And you know what that was know shocker people preferred to vote for him instead of being called racist as the media was prepared to accuse them of had they not choose obama. The republican media in general is trying to convince all women to vote for obama because they know if he wins the democratic bid for president that republicans will easily take the white house again in 2008! Hillary is thier only true competition and if she doesn't get the democratic bid then that's a sure sign that the republicans will win the white house once again.

Only thing I've seen her change is her positions on issues.

Afraid to not vote for Obama because they don't want to get labeled as racists? Right.

I get the distinct impression that you're not an Obama voter...
