The reason obama missed the votes

[kmccaskill]

Chris Matthews of hardball just reported Obama came down with the stomach flu, but he will try to make the debate

[gateley]

1. Poor guy. If he does has the stomach flu, I'm not sure he be up to participating

in the debate. We'll have to see.

[SaveElmer]

2. Oh man...hope they have the 7 second delay working...nt

[beachmom]

14. Yeah, really. You need to be concerned that your candidate

would catch the virus. Stomach flu sucks big time. I think Obama should get the rest and skip the debate. But that's just the mother in me talking.

[ccpup]

3. I hope that's not the case

He's scheduled to speak in Washington Square Park tomorrow -- a block from my house -- and a lot of kids at NYU have been looking forward to it.

[Debi]

4. Ewwww, okay, for that I'd give him a pass

hope he can make the debate tonight. x(

[Totally Committed]

5. Yeah, right... stomach flu.

:nopity:

GMAFB.

7. Was Kucinich faking it, too?

I don't personally believe so, nor do I recall anyone being shitty enough to accuse him of that.

So tell me, how long have you been a physician and when did you personally examine Senator Obama?

[jefferson_dem]

18. Dr. Frist?

That you?

[eleny]

6. And Matthews said that "he's playing hurt"

Slanting things to make it sound like Obama may not be ill. Grrrr... Tweety's always ready to throw mud.

[Saturday]

8. I took that to mean he would be playing...

while injured. Kinda like a football player playing with a bad ankle. I didn't take it as an insult. I thought it meant he would give it the old college try even though hurting.

[monmouth]

10. That's how I read it too...eom

[eleny]

13. Thanks, I see that now

Obama is not my candidate for the primaries. But I don't trust Matthews very much and got overly sensitive. :hi:

[Clintonista2]

9. How convienient. NT.

[Mass]

11. Not the reason. Obama was in NH this morning

May be he caught the flue there, but it is not the reason he was not in DC.

Not sure if Matthews is an idiot again or if Obama's campaign has problems, but it is getting silly/

[zulchzulu]

12. Funny how the Clinton fans pick on Obama...meanwhile...

...she voted AGAIN for MORE war.

Yeah, pick on Obama...asswipes.

15. obama

i had a conference call with him 2 days ago and he was sick, he was snnezing and coughing and he kept saying excuse me i think i caught something

[William769]

16. Funny how he can make it to fundraiser, and then come down with a well...

But I really can't blame him for trying to get out of the debate, since he always looks like a babbling idiot. GO BAMA!

[kmccaskill]

17. obama

hey don't talk about the next pres like that, micheal jordan had the flu and won the champ.

[William769]

19. The only problem with your analysis is.

Obama is no Michael Jordan.

[jefferson_dem]

20. And you're no ...

...

...

Nevermind.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. Yeah
