Something Different...Confession Time - Things You Like About Obama!

[CGP]

Time for something different...!

Nothing is ever 100% bad!

Here are the rules for this post:

* Name things you LIKE about Obama - either about his personality, his policies, his politics, his campaign, whatever - but it must be something you LIKE

* You CANNOT post anything about Obama that you DON'T LIKE!

[CGP]

I'll start...

Things I like about BO:

* I think he is physically handsome/attractive

* I like his campaign logo

* I like the "look" of his website & other online representations (eg myspace page)

* I think his name is very catchy/memorable

[RAFREE]

He reminds me of Barney Fife *who I think is hillarious! It always makes me smile* okaaaaaay sorry, I'll do better.

I like his logo too

I like his future prospects *like in eight years*

I like his ties

I like some of his supporters

I like the things he said about Senator Hillary Clinton when she campaigned for him to get in the senate. He loved her then!

[Valencia]

His campagn logo & the look of his web-site. ( Is part of the image that they are trying to project)

I like his ties, but I will... forget it I do not want to give ideas to make him look better.

Sorry, his ideas are the same as HRC. He just xerox them.

[EH]

I'll fess up, the fact that he's left handed sort of saves him to a tiny extent in my eyes. Being left-handed myself, I have to cut fellow southpaws some slack.

But then again, Bill Clinton is also left-handed.:p

[LetsHelpAmerica]

Oh WOW!! This is a tough assignment! Ha!!

I like Obama's tall lean look.
I like his ability to capture an audience.
I like his organizational skills with gathering caucus votes.
I like the professional look of his web site.
And, that is ALL I like about him!! Ha!!!

[bernie gagliano]

He shoots hoops.

He is light on his feet.

He knows the way home to Illinois.

He will have an affinity for African problems.

He is young and can learn a lot until he gets a chance to run in eight years.

He has nice kids.

He could make a living doing voice-overs.

He has no where to go but up, based on a fair analysis of his record.

Oprah loves him.

He is adept with a Xerox machine.

He can make a good living as a impersonator. (though he is no Frank Callendo)

He has great skill reading teleprompters, very smooth.

[CGP]

I am impressed by these efforts!

See, we are people of good will!

[Valencia]

I am impressed by these efforts!

See, we are people of good will!

lol

[SantaCruzen]

Yeah, that is about it: otherwise BO is evil to the core. :)

[SantaCruzen]

Oh WOW!! This is a tough assignment! Ha!!

I like Obama's tall lean look.
I like the professional look of his web site.
And, that is ALL I like about him!! Ha!!!

1) He is really skinny and is hiding that in his suite.
2) He does have a better marketing strategy.

[Patsy]

I think the thing I like most about him is that he's so tall he has to bend over in the airplane when talking to reporters.

Oops. Turbulence:)

[CGP]

Yes, I like this tall/lean look too.

(After his latest stunts today though, I am wondering why I was so gratious to start this thread...!...but I will let it stay...positive thoughts!)

[CGP]

2) He does have a better marketing strategy.

In this case "better" = greater capacity to deceive and manipulate.

I'd never want to be associated with such a marketing strategy!

So I think #2 fails to make the "good thoughts" list :)

[CGP]

Time for some positivity! :p

[emmyCA]

He is tall & thin.

[LetsHelpAmerica]

Hmmmmmmmmmm
Let me think!

[CGP]

MSNBC published this baby pic of Obama - he certainly was a cute baby so that's another positive in his favor (pity what he became as an adult...oops..staying positive which is the requirement of this thread!)

OK. I'm going to be honest here. Which is really hard.

I like that he has two beautiful little girls.

[neutralplayer]

Probably one of the greatest speakers I've ever heard.

[Ohio mom]

OK. I'm going to be honest here. Which is really hard.

I like that he has two beautiful little girls.

Did anyone see the foxnews show last night, when the one of the black male panelists commented on how could obama attend a church his own mother would be scared to attend!!!!

[Patsy]

Did anyone see the foxnews show last night, when the one of the black male panelists commented on how could obama attend a church his own mother would be scared to attend!!!!

Yep, I saw it. I really hate to admit that I'm watching Fox:)

He was a Dem strategist from California. Finally a Dem seeing the truth.

That's a shocker!

Now maybe Chris Matthews will stop his lavatorial talk when describing Obama;)

[Lodi]

Hmmmmmmmmmm
Let me think!

Ditto!:p

No hatred here at all, mind you, but I'd just rather put deceptive people out of my consciousness entirely and hope that will soon be possible re Obama. Unless he has a major epiphany down the road, he's done politically. I'd rather see Mayor Michael Nutter of Philly rise to the top.

[Angelica91]

:rolleyes:mmmm
He's a good speaker.
He uses media very well.
Somebody says he's a hot man...maybe...but I falling in love with the one hot political man ever...Bill!:psorry!:D

[Area504]

I could play along with this and give you one or two meaningless things I like about the man (he's not bad looking, etc.)

Maybe that means we're good people.

But, you know, having just come from a board where HRC gets trashed hour after hour, I don't see anyone even trying to say anything positive about her, even if it were some superficial thing.

So, forgive me, but maybe I'm not as good a person as some of you. I don't really feel up to playing this game right now.

[Ijane]

I find this thread just a little inappropriate seeing as how Obama's on the verge of winning the democratic primary ONLY because of the reasons listed in the posts in this thread...

But hey, I'll give it a try...

What I like about Obama is the way he knows how to keep himself looking squeaky clean by letting his wife, Michelle, pull all the evil punches.

[memphis]

His ability to run a campaign to try to win at any cost.

[bernie gagliano]

He knows his way home to Chicago. that is where we are going to send him.

[lucky-ann]

okay, that's hard, but i'm going to be honest;):

- i think he's very good-looking
- his little girls are extremely cute (sorry, but I have to admit, that Chelsea wasn't as cute as a child, even if she's beautiful by now...)
- his wife is also very pretty:)
- he's an extraordinary speaker
- he has a great ability to inspire people and involve them in the political process
- his campaign had the better thought out after- Super Tuesday- strategy (okay, that's a compliment, but i don't like this fact;))

conclusion: in eight years he'd be a great president, but now its hillary's turn!

[samkm]

What struck me is that he was angry at his mom for "her experiment'"
He did not grow up a well centered kid. That's the kind of people who will lead themselves into all kinds of poor influences.. because the core of principles is not strong.
http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/showthread.php?p=13825#post13825
He has good "elocution delivery" skills combined with good voice... all put to bad use.. and on zero principals. A total sham!


Let us FOCUS on what we are doing here.. we are not deciding whether to have him over for sunday afternoon high tea.

This is serious. IS he ready to lead the FREE WORLD? NO!!!!!!

[By the way, Chelsea is well centered, a major achievement by the parents despite all odds.]

[lucky-ann]

This is serious. IS he ready to lead the FREE WORLD? NO!!!!!!

of course not, that's why we're Hillary supporters and i would vote for McCain in the fall, should he be the nominee. But we still can like a few superficial things about him and his family:)

[samkm]

Let's stop giving him any credit until after he can deep clean his total act.. and core.. that's going to take a Looooong time....

We should be challenging his senate seat at this stage.:mad:

[CGP]

Cleanse the mind.

Think of something positive!

Reviving this one.

[Charlie Brown]

He's good at cheating
he's good at flip flopping
hes good at lieing

[HumbleDave]

I like his mathematical skills. I wish I could put $50 in my wallet and pull out 57.:rolleyes:

[SadStateOfAffairs]

I'll start...

Things I like about BO:

* I think he is physically handsome/attractive

* I like his campaign logo

* I like the "look" of his website & other online representations (eg myspace page)

* I think his name is very catchy/memorable

Muzza,

I think you have a fever........Nothing a little medication won't take care of though.:eek:

[seawave]

I like that his middle name bothers him so much

[CGP]

No, no, you are all cheating the game.

If you can't say something which is honestly positive, you must not respond in this thread - and that's an order! :eek:

[xfiles]

thinking.............:confused::rolleyes:

[SadStateOfAffairs]

OK, That's it! If MUZZA cracks up, we're calling in the MOD SQUAD!:eek::eek:

[SusanfromPA]

I think it's cute the way he gets all flustered when things don't go his way. :p

[SadStateOfAffairs]

I just LOVE his "sweet little lies".:p

[CGP]

OK, That's it! If MUZZA cracks up, we're calling in the MOD SQUAD!:eek::eek:

That's right. I am a sleeper troll.

I now support Obama.

(yes, sarcasm!).

....

No, I just think that even with candidates/groups people are opposed to, there is usually something, however small, that you can express a positive opinion about.

[PA_Voter]

I think the campaign structure is great--grassroots up. However, unfortunately if I researched how it came about, I think I would find the structure is modeled after Howard Dean's campaign structure. So that negative of "xeroxing" things comes back to bite me. (I tried. :))

[xfiles]

ok....wait....wait.....something is coming to me......:confused:

[Moon Child]

*He hasn't killed anyone yet.

*His character on SNL is hilarious.

*He is resourceful.

*If you don't take him seriously, he is a riot.

*He will most likely bring about the second coming of Christ (just not in the way he THINKS he will!)

*He has the catchiest theme songs (Think: Obama Girl and Will.i.am's "Yes We Can" video)

*He is a good actor, probably one of the best who has ever lived.

*He is more intelligent than people give him credit for. How else could he have fooled so many?

*His daughters are so cute!

*He will get his ass handed to him this election.

[Mrs L]

I'll fess up, the fact that he's left handed sort of saves him to a tiny extent in my eyes. Being left-handed myself, I have to cut fellow southpaws some slack.

But then again, Bill Clinton is also left-handed.:p

So is John McCain!!

[Optixmom]

He will always keep "teleprompter" technology in the forefront. :D

The End.

[Mrs L]

Err, err, err

Sorry Muzza, that is below my pay grade:cool:

[Meg]

I like his mathematical skills. I wish I could put $50 in my wallet and pull out 57.:rolleyes:

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_1_72.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxpt024YYUS)

Omg I nearly died reading this thread! Too funny!:eek:

Ok what do I like about Obama...

1. He is ocassionally funny.
2. Like someone said his SNL character is hysterical!
3. He likes waffles... waffles are delicious!:p
4. He can read, sorta...
5. His two girls are adorable.
6.His intials make for funny jokes! (BO;))

That's all I got... and those were pushing it.:eek:

[PCFS1]

His children are cute.

[xfiles]

....okay, okay...here....we go....uh..... er....ummmmm.... :confused::confused::p:p

He will look good giving a concession speech:D:D:D:D:D

I think I have decided on the small bottle of Pommery's POP Champagne to toast his concession speech. If I can't find that it will be a split bottle of Moet.

[Bad Kitty]

I have decided on a red wine haven't narrowed it down to which one. I guess I better get on it.

[foxyladi]

:DYes, I like this tall/lean look too.

(After his latest stunts today though, I am wondering why I was so gratious to start this thread...!...but I will let it stay...positive thoughts!)

MAY WEST SAID IT BEST!!!
tall dark and handsome

[Michael White]

I think the Nero D' Avola from Sicily is really nice and full bodied and would go great with just about any meal, even if you were BHO and eating crow.

[bevvyjean]

I honestly do not like ANYTHING about him. Nothing is appealing to this kid! I would love it if he would just go away and I never had to hear him or see him again.

[marcelmarcel]

I like his first name.

[samkm]

I like"bama" part of his lastname. It means "grandma" in my in-laws' language.

[Hillicrat]

He could be a better actor than Reagan????

[LetsHelpAmerica]

I love his declining poll numbers.

[samkm]

I am really liking his stammer. ;) I heard the Obamaniacs think it is in style now.

Well at least someone tried to answer the question honestly! Thank you.

----------------

As for others...

Not really impressed with some of the stupid responses to this thread. The whole point was that if people don't have anything positive to add here, don't post!

[Michael White]

He's great at rewriting history. Like how the US Army liberated Dachau and Treblinka.

[Horizon]

Who dug this up??? I am tapped out on things to like about him.Running on empty here.

[Ray_of_Hope]

Putting aside all of my biases to honor Muzza's request:

- I do like the fact that he is a family man. You can tell that he is very devoted to his wife and daughters (who are just so cute).
- He is very ambitious, if nothing else
- He has successfully captured the interest of the younger generation. I have NEVER seen so many young adults engaged in politics.

[Bad Kitty]

I like his ability to see the dead. That is very impressive.
