Obama takes off

Obama is officially
running for the presidency.

I'm loving how he's handling his critics. Here's an example:

******************
Obama also had a sharp response for Australian Prime Minister John Howard, a Bush ally who said Obama's proposals would create chaos in the Middle East.
"I think that will just encourage those who want to completely destabilize and destroy Iraq, and create chaos and a victory for the terrorists to hang on and hope for an Obama victory," Howard said on Nine Network television.

Obama said it was "flattering" for a Bush ally to attack him the day after he formally launched his presidential bid but noted Australia had contributed 1,400 troops to the war compared to 140,000 U.S. troops.

"If he's ginned up to fight the good fight in Iraq, I would suggest that he calls up another 20,000 Australians and send them to Iraq," he said. "Otherwise it's just a bunch of empty rhetoric."

Take that!!!
