Obama and Change?

If Barack is really about change and being a uniter, not a divider, he needs to teach his supporters how to behave.

From Swampland:

If the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s 100 Club dinner is any bell weather – Barack Obama will handily win here. When Obama, the dinner’s last speaker, took the stage the crowd surged forward chanting “O-bam-a” and “Fired Up, Ready to Go!” So many people pressed toward the stage that an announcer asked people to “please take their seats for safety concerns.”

By comparison Hillary was twice booed. The first time was when she said she has always and will continue to work for "change for you. The audience, particularly from Obama supporters (they were waving Obama signs) let out a noise that sounded like a thousand people collectively groaning. The second time came a few minutes later when Clinton said: "The there are two big questions for voters in New Hampshire. One is: who will be ready to lead from day one? The second," and here Clinton was forced to pause as boos from the crowd mixed with cheers from her own supporters. "Is who can we nominate who will go the distance against the Republicans?”

What boorish behavior from the Obama supporters!

After his Iowa victory on Thursday night, Obama claimed to be the man capable of changing things, of bringing about a "let's all get along" utopia.
OBAMA: You said the time has come to move beyond the bitterness and pettiness and anger that's consumed Washington.

(APPLAUSE)

To end the political strategy that's been all about division, and instead make it about addition. To build a coalition for change that stretches through red states and blue states.

(APPLAUSE)

Because that's how we'll win in November, and that's how we'll finally meet the challenges that we face as a nation.

(APPLAUSE)

We are choosing hope over fear.

(APPLAUSE)

We're choosing unity over division, and sending a powerful message that change is coming to America.

(APPLAUSE)

AUDIENCE: We want change! We want change! We want change! We want change!

If the New Hampshire Democrat Party dinner is any indication, Obama's fans aren't ready to move beyond "bitterness and pettiness and anger."

They aren't ready to choose "unity over division."

They act like preschoolers in dire need of a nap.

There's no question that he's under the microscope.
