"I think Obama had a good night, a good night with the Washington insider troupe that he used effectively against Hillary Clinton… He had the crowd. He definitely had home field advantage. He handled himself, I thought, very very well in that debate over Pakistan…. They came at him, really hard. And he was like a judo master -- the harder they came at him, he seemed to twist and turn it." (MSNBC, 8.7.07)
A hometown crowd cheered Sen. Barack Obama as he volleyed with his Democratic rivals over his judgment and experience during tonight's AFL-CIO debate in Chicago. .. his night, for the most part; a hometown crowd, his audience, his references, his tough talk on immigration, his credible answers on foreign policy and an eloquent verbal essay on baseball and Barry Bonds.
Obama retorted -- quite effectively -- that he found it "amusing that those who helped to authorize and engineer the biggest foreign policy disaster... are now criticizing me for making sure we are on the right battlefield and not the wrong battlefield in the war on terror."
