#1 Reading this, a friend stepping up in the role that true friends portray in our lives, a paraphrase of the Dr. Krauthammer, "Where are the Obama friends? Kerry, at his acceptance speech, had numerous military souls arrayed on the stage.

But we are yet to see with Obama, a friend, a family member other than his wife and daughters. Where are the family members, the friends that should be surrounding him? Where are the Harvard folks, the Columbia classmates? The U of Chicago faculty that were on staff with him?"

There seem to be none. Thanks, Dr K. for bringing that point to our attention.

#4 "Where are the Obama friends?"
I guess he doesn't feel like parading a bunch of commies and fellow travelers.

I guess he doesn't feel like parading a bunch of commies, fellow travelers, crooks, slumlords, bagmen and political fixers.

There. Fixed it.

#6 An amazing, warm tribute to an old friend going back over 50 years. Please, let it stand on it's own legs. No need to trash BO here. A year ago I was an ABM Repubilican(Anyone But McCain). He seemed old, stale and hopelessly afflicted with Old Senator's disease. Politically, I'm a bit to the right of him. but since the beginning of the summer, I've come to realize that this is someone who is worthy of our respect and trust. He's also running a lot smarter campaign that I had thought possible of him.

#7 Where are the Obama friends?

Last time I checked, they seem to be checking the differential fluid under the bus. Except for Mr. Ayers, he was in the back of the bus, looking a little apprehensive.
