Obama: This Is Not a Time for on-the-job Training

These are two of the most important expressions the Democratic candidate had yesterday in Iowa: "I think that early on it may spark some curiosity or a sense of novelty, but I think very quickly people will be judging me on the merits. Do I have a message that resonates with people's concerns about health care and education, jobs and terrorism?" he said. "And if they do, then I think race won't be a major factor." "I'm going to have to be run through the paces, people are going to have to lift up the hood, kick the tires and be clear that I have a grasp of the issues that are of utmost importance in people's lives." Update: Weblogg-ed refers to Politics 2.0. But who built this?
