I don’t yet know whether there’s been an actual endorsement of Obama by Rep. Jason Altmire who represents Pittsburgh’s northern suburbs and is a superdelegate, but he’s clearly supporting Obama. He was introduced by Obama to cheers, and stood several times to cheer for Obama’s applause lines. I mentioned before that his wife and staff wore Obama buttons during Pittsburgh’s St. Patrick’s Day parade. That’s Altmire in the center below. He’s the only one not blurred out — neat trick, eh?

This is really too bad. Obama is too junior and there is so much we don’t know about him. He ran his campaign on his “Judgement” and that is turning into a problem. I worry about how this Rezko thing will turn out. He says he is running a different campaign, but I don’t believe that. He just doesn’t get what he doesn’t know.
The race speech was good, but I have been doing that type of retrospection throughout my life, not in on moment of a speech.
It should have addressed the “anti-american” issue, not race really. He should have distance himself a long time ago from Wright. I dont’ believe he did not know. Wright was an advisor on the campaign. Since he was running for the Presidentail bid, he should have distance himself.
Hope and change is warm and fuzzy, but I have seen this type of campaign rhetoric before. I don’t want warm and fuzzy, I want someone who knows how to do it already. I am tired of his lies about HRC. She already stated about what happened to NAFTA, then those papers came out. There was nothing different from those papers then what she stated. I do believe she does care, but I was watching Obama too. Now, I know which way I will go.
We can’t have someone in the Generals that has too many shaky “unknowns”.
