First: ballot bowl? Why do you torture yourself? (5.00 / 1) (#38)

second: I saw it during the debate, where it seems like O is bored with his own rhetoric.  Instead of stating his story as fresh and new, "I was raised by a single mother.  I worked as a community organizer and turned down lucrative job offers in the private sector, in order to help the poor" he just bullet-pointed it, even ticking it off on his fingers: "Raised by a single mother, community organizer, worked for the poor..."

When you speak in public a lot, it's hard to remember that not everyone has heard your story or your stump speech.  You have to present it as new every time.

In short, he seems bored with his own story--and a tad annoyed to have to be repeating it.

...they only showed the part where Hillary talked about how historic it was that a woman and an African American could be president. Of course Suzanne Malveaux interpreted that as Hillary admitted how historic a Barack Obama presidency would be. LOL. Anyway, now I can go back to BBC America.
