Man, his own party and constituents are attacking this guy . Democratic Supporters heckled him in traditional Democrat Heckling Fashion in Springfield, Illinois and CNN says he has a 'character flaw' due to him being a smoker .
I'm not an Obama supporter . I'm not even a Democratic party supporter, but what the.. . . . . Has our country gone topsy-turvy ?

Just watch... Hillary and Bill are out to bury him. And look at Vince Foster... when they want to get rid of someone, they are gone.

haven't you ever noticed the cycle?
it's with EVERYTHING, just not politics?
look at the brightest star right now in any field... it doesn't matter...
first everyone is talking about the person, how great he is, how fantastic he's doing, how he's a breath of fresh air... how he's amazing and can save whatever field he's working in...
but then... after a few months... people get tired of that... they want the dirt, to find out what's wrong, to tear down the hero...
I guess it's really human nature?
but overall, the attempts have been fairly lackluster so far (I mean smoking? is that the best they can do?)... and there are many dems with many different ideas... I know some libs that would protest Bill Clinton... it takes all kinds..

Those were activists in Illinois. I would hardly call smoking a big political issue. By the way, the term whipping boy is extremely racist, especially if you are talking about a black man. Put two and two together and you can figure out where the phrase came from.

Democratic candidate Barack Obama has nothing to hide. Unlike many of our current, past, and probably future leaders.
