By Christina Bellantoni 

Sen. Barack Obama said today Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton presents herself as if she was "co-president" from 1993 to 2000.

Mr. Obama, holding a town hall forum at a wall board manufacturing plant here, said his criticism of her position on the North American Free Trade Agreement is fair because she includes her time as first lady for eight years as part of her claim to "35 years of experience."

No one outside Texas had ever heard of Kirk Watson before Tuesday night when, in a two minute, 30 second nationally televised car wreck of political punditry, he became Hillary Clinton's best campaign asset.

The fact that he was on live television to sing the praises of Barack Obama, and was being nailed to the wall by MSNBC host and frequent Clinton irritant Chris Matthews, merely added to the jaw-dropping surrealism of the moment.

African Americans Worry About Obama’s Safety

Posted by Obama Project
February 22, 2008

For many black Americans, it's a conversation they find hard to avoid, revisiting old fears in the light of bright new hopes.

They watch with wonder as Barack Obama moves ever closer to becoming America's first black president. And they ask themselves, their family, their friends: Is he at risk? Will he be safe?

There is, of course, no sure answer. But interviews with blacks across the country, prominent and otherwise, suggest that lingering worries are outweighed by enthusiasm and determination.
