“Sometimes I Can Be Too Invested in My Job”
On the eve of Nevada caucuses, Sen. Obama seems to be taking everything in stride, even needling his fellow Democratic contenders for their Michael Scott-esque answers to the debate question “What is your biggest weakness“:
“I thought that they meant ‘what’s your biggest weakness?!’ So I said ‘well you know I don’t handle paper that well, you know, my desk is a mess, I need somebody to help me file and stuff all the time.’”
“So the other two they say well my biggest weakness is ‘I’m just too passionate about helping poor people.’ ‘I am just too impatient to bring about change in America.’”
Obama joked, “If I had gone last I would have known what the game was. I could have said ‘well you know I like to help old ladies across the street. Sometimes they don’t want to be helped. It’s terrible.’”
When he was leaving the event, a man called out to Sen. Obama that he would make a better president than George W. Bush, to which he replied: “So would you!”

Hilarious! Senator Obama seems like he’s the kind of guy I’d like to have a beer with…he also seems like he’s smarter than me, honest, and actually capable of running a country. That’s the kind of person we should vote for!
