"And the hush was almost deafening"

You’re on national television »

I have no love for Chris Matthews, or the bellicosity of these “Hardball-esque” shows, but the inability of State Senator Kirk Watson to answer this seemingly simple question should be deeply chagrinning to every Obama supporter. I recognize Obama’s natural talents, but I’m still waiting to hear a truly substantive and positive example of what compromise and leadership really looks like for Obama and perhaps more importantly, why the change he wants us to believe in is even possible or desirable. And yes I know about his Senate and State Senate records and while inoffensive for the most part, his accomplishments are few and rather underwhelming, especially in relation to his soaring rhetoric.

BTW I would’ve included the video embedded, but I got stymied trying to customize the width and height of the embed code in both the “Video” and “Text” tumblr postings. I was able to do this before with my We’ve Only Just Begun post… what up tumblr?
