A simple example of a professional (Obama) vs unprofessional (McCain/Palin).

When Obama is posed with a heckler (which he has many times), he politely and calmly pauses...and asks "what is going on?" then he simply has the heckler removed. Immediately he says "OK back to work" or "Ok where was I" and even in some cases fields questions from them.

Unlike McCain/Palin who look for any opportunity to unleash a boring, snappy, grumpy retort like "My son is over fighting in the war, so you can protest" or some other cheesey line to gain attention.

It is a simple thing like professionalism, that attracts voters to Obama IMO.

Further proof that Obama is a wind up talking doll and incapable of thinking on his feet. Again, he has 50 or so rehearsed, well coached talking points, telling people what they want to hear. He travela about the country selling these rehearsed talking points. when interupted, he simply stops, waits, then starts up again! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so impressed!

Obama will not ahieve 2% of what he promises IF he is elected and he knows it!

Who is the wind up doll?

Palin uses the same grumpy canned response to every heckler.

It is called professionalism...McCain and Palin have little of.

I find the statement appalling. No one's son is fighting in a foreign land so We can protest, we can protest right here like we've done for ages. Senator Obama will be an Excellent President.

People fight in wars and die to protect your right to freedom of speech. You make it seem as if it were an inconsequential deed, and it does not surprise me as you are supporting Obama.

Would we have lost the right to protest if we hadn't invaded Iraq? No.
So her son is not fighting for that right, he is fighting for lies.

That is what happens in just and legitimate wars which we seem to have a problem identifying lately.

Afghanistan- Just and in our national self defense

Iraq- Yeah Right, Sadaam Hussein wanted to shut walidm up:

Vietnam- Really laughable especially after the Gulf of Tonkin truth came out. Who won that one?
