I think I speak for all Obama supporters when I say that we are tired of Clinton supporters dismissing him as some brash, arrogant young upstart, ignoring that the same was said, more or less, for her husband---remember kids, all he had on the resume was governor of Arkansas before reaching the Oval Office. Not exactly heavy on the foreign or federal policy experience.
We're also tired of hearing that all he peddles is hope and little else. Go to http://www.barackobama.com/issues and read for yourself. The man does have ideas behind the hope.
Lastly, do not underestimate his wide appeal. He's raised more than twice HRC has this quarter and he's won over populations that will prove crucial this fall. Make no mistake, HRC is a formidable candidate and the very least you can say is that Obama has kept up with her rather nicely despite her name recognition. It is a far closer race than any HRC diehard would have imagined a few months ago.
