Â Obama apologizes to Nancy Reagan for &#8217;seance&#8217; crack&#8230;

As I predicted, Obama&#8217;s mentioning of Nancy Reagan&#8217;s astrological proclivities during last week&#8217;s press conference turned into a minor blunder. Once the sensitivity police took notice, it was only a matter of time before Obama was forced [...]]]></description>

The problem is that he consistently (at least 50% of the time) is boring, mundane and flat, due to poor reading of a speech.

Edwards. &#8220;I will listen to military.&#8221; He sounds like a competent leader re [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All our attacking each other. They are becoming more forceful. Clinton seems much more forceful.
Obama was strong.

Richardson had great laugh line &#8220;I&#8217;ve been in hostage neg. more civil than this.&#8221; He seemed statemanlike.
Candidates were talking about &#8220;change&#8221; &#8220;change&#8221; &#8220;change&#8221; to the point of sounding silly.
Edwards. Sounds very populist. Bashing corporations. 
Obama is getting better as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cinton re change. She doesn&#8217;t seem comfortable attacking Obama on issue of change. She says he changes his posiiton on healthcare. She is stammering a little.

Obama. Stammering a little in his defense of his healthcare policies. He comes out in favor of higher payroll taxes.
Clinton.

		<description><![CDATA[Edwards. speaks in favor of being calm. Seems stateman-like.
Obama. His stripped tie is pixilating. White shirt is bad. He still sounds a little hesitant.

Clinton. She sounds conversational, confident, experienced.
She sounds tough re retaliating. Clinton looks good in green.
Richardson. He&#8217;s so low in the polls&#8211;he doesn&#8217;t seem relevant here.

		<description><![CDATA[Obama. Sounded slightly hesitant on first foreign policy question.
Edwards. Looks and sounds comfortable and confident. Knowledgeable about players in Pakistan. Tie and suite look good. white shirt is too bright.

Richardson. Looks like a slob. Tie is loose at top. He is fat&#8211;really fat. Sorry, but voters hate fat candidates. He didn&#8217;t sound good either.
Clinton. Sounds [...]]]></description>
