Obama Gets Applause For Blowing His Nose In Domestic Issues, Politics Say Anything blog Sigh… <<< DALLAS – It’s probably safe to say that you have arrived as a politician when your audience applauds when you blow your nose. Yes, just a day before a debate in Texas, Sen. Barack Obama has a head cold. And about a half-hour into a speech here, the Illinois Democrat announced that he had to take a quick break. “Gotta blow my nose here for a second,” Obama said. Out came a Kleenex (or perhaps it was a hankie), and he wiped his nose. The near-capacity audience at the Reunion Arena, which his campaign said totaled 17,000, broke out in a slightly awkward applause. >>> When you’re supporting a candidate who is more image than substance it doesn’t matter what he says. For Obama, blowing a wad of snot into a hankie is about as informative as all his rhetoric about “hope” and “change.” feeds.feedburner.com
