Obama: You don’t have to talk tough to be tough
NEW ALBANY, Ind. - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Wednesday brushed aside Hillary Clinton’s attempts to portray him as someone who lacked toughness and could not stand the heat of the media glare.obamatough.jpg
Clinton, who depicts herself as a fighter in her campaign speeches, has pounced on the Illinois senator’s critique of a television debate last week in which he was put on the defensive about issues such as whether he wears a flagpin and the fiery rhetoric of his pastor. She accused him of not being able to handle media scrutiny.
But Obama said it was the New York senator and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, who have been thin-skinned about press questions.
“Nobody has complained more about the press about questions at debates, about being mistreated than Senator Clinton has or President Clinton. And so we have been pretty tame in terms of taking our shots and just rolling with them,†Obama told reporters while campaigning in Indiana, which holds its primary on May 6.
Clinton has tried to underline her message that she is the tougher candidate by running an ad featuring images of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
The Republican National Committee has weighed in as well, suggesting Obama tries to dodge hard questions from the media.
“I know that people like to talk tough and use a lot of rhetoric about fighting and obliterating and all that stuff. You know that I have always believed that if you are tough, you don’t have to talk about it,†Obama said.

Obama is screwed no matter which side he chooses...if he runs, then he got chased by a girl, if he fights, then he's a bully beating up on a girl....Either way...sucks to be him. :lmao:

I would change that slightly to "if he fights, then he will get his ass kicked by a girl . . . either way . . . sucks to be him." :-)
he just isn't a wonderful debater, ya know? :loser:

I'm of the opinion that he should be taking lessons from Hillary on how to act like a real man. He cries waaaay too much for a man, even a Democrat one. Needs to stop being so damned emo.

That would be in keeping with Democrat tradition. Algore took lessons in manhood from a woman didn't he?

LOL - saw this article and thought it was hilarious:
She's mowing down everything in her path.
There was Hillary Clinton on early morning television yesterday, fresh from her Pennsylvania primary victory the night before, in what I call full mental jacket (plus necklace), deliciously upending every gender stereotype on the block by being the most macho politician on the airwaves.
The senator was being challenged to explain her latest campaign ad that showed, among other threats to American security, a picture of Osama bin Laden, as if to convince voters that without her, the terrorists would surely win.
"I would consider him a person we must take out," she replied serenely, making me wonder for a moment whether she was secretly thinking Obama and not Osama.

Feminist tripe for the most part, and I do think McCain is more of a man than even her, but at least she's not whining over a waffle.
