Obama: "I'm not a perfect person, and I won't be a perfect President."

[Heisenberg]

I actually think that him talking about himself as president, and candidly at that, speaks volumes about the guy.

LOL almost every candidate does that . . . unless you haven't been paying attention. That is politics 101. You don't want to leave doubt in voters minds by saying "if".

[twa]

I don't want empty platitudes, give me details on your future failings.

If we are gonna go there expound on your shortcomings or STFU

[HOF44]

Just curious to see what it says to you. To me it says his ego is humungous!

Isn't that pretty much a pre-requisite for someone running for POTUS?

[Heisenberg]

I don't see a smiley, are you on the Obama is the anti-christ bandwagon for real?

King_Brice is the resident 9/11 conspiracy, the world is ending, Obama is the anti-christ advocate . . . in case you didn't know.

OBAMA IS NOT THE ANTICHRIST

No KB is not usually that far out there. Michael33 is the Obama is the anti-christ guy.

Oh ok, I figure anyone who believes that 9/11 was an inside job will believe anything . . . so my apologies.

Just curious to see what it says to you. To me it says his ego is humungous! I can't believe how many of you think he can be the POTUS. The battle he is going through with Hilary has all but sealed a victory for McCain.

Who knows? It could all just be more of his jibberish. I think it speaks directly to his supporters but it also paints him as president, telling it like it is.

Personally, I think the admission of fault is a strong charicter trait.

I'm a 30/70 9/11 guy.....I lean more toward authenticity rather than a set up FYI.

Not completely sure what that means but like I said I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Statements like this from Obama are one of the main reasons I will probably vote Dem for Pres. if he is the candidate for the first time in my life.

Don't know, I see good things in Obama. But McCain has said some things that make me think I might vote Republican for the first time since Bush 1.

[Spaceman Spiff]

The issue is not perfection. The issue is that Obama will not be the President of the United States of America, ever! He is way too far to the left for mainstream America and John McCain is just centrist enough to beat him or Hillary. McCain will win the 08 election by a landlslide, mark it!

I wouldn't be too sure.

Obama is way left, but people don't care. He's got people lining up left and right for to vote for him and they don't even know why they're excited about him. They just know they hate Bush, therefore hate Republicans and won't even consider what they have to say. They think that in order to "fix" everything that has gone wrong over the past 8 years they have to go in the polar opposite direction.

Hilary has too much baggage with her to turn people off. Obama provides a positive personality, charisma and youth. And that excites people.

McCain is old, white, Republican...and by default, evil. At least thats the way people like to see things.

McCain doesn't win in a landslide. I think the "landslide" days are over.

Congrats, Dubya. Thanks for ****ing up the GOP for the past 8 years and making people think that all Conservatives believe in what you believe in. Way to go.

[zoony]

I have alot of respect for politicians that are willing to say that they won't be perfect, no one is perfect--and no president will be perfect.

I agree. good for obama. self realization is a helluva thing

Come on SS . . . you have to give a LITTLE more credit to some of us supporters than that.

[SpringfieldSkins]

Well, I'd go out on a limb and say that was true for at least 5 of the first 8 years.
