The first time Obama has to confront the string of allegations, what does he do? He takes a few questions, gets caught in lies, gets mad, and runs for the hills.
As he exits, he angrily replies to the reporters, "come on! I just answered, like, eight questions."
So what were these questions about? Take this exert from the NY Daily News:
"The first question was about a private talk an Obama economic adviser had with a Canadian official - reportedly saying that the harshness of Obama's criticisms of the North American Free Trade Agreement was for political show.
Last week, Obama denied an initial media report about the conversation. But after a Canadian government memo surfaced, he acknowledged yesterday there was a conversation.
"When I gave you that information, that was the information that I had at the time," he said. His camp still disputes the memo's account of the discussion.
The questioning then turned to Obama's links to ex-fund-raiser Tony Rezko, who went on trial in Chicago Monday on corruption charges. A reporter asserted Obama hadn't fully answered journalists' questions on Rezko.
Obama insisted he had - during a past news conference with Chicago media. But another persisted that questions remain unanswered, such as ones about fund-raisers Rezko held for him.
Obama replied, "These requests, I think, can just go on forever. ..." He said the "pertinent" information had been provided."
Sorry Obama, but America is finally realizing that it takes more than a good speech to make a good man.

I agree. It appears that finally Obama's "smoke and mirrors campaign" is about to go up in smoke. Hillary is resurgent after her win and I expect to see more harsh critism of Obama in the coming days. Even if Obama does eventually get the nomination at least people will be aware of his actual "policies" and can begin to question what he stands for. And franklu, judging from past experience when more questions are asked to Obama more questions will arise.
