Even blowing his nose, Obama gets applause

by John McCormick

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.

Despite the cold, Obama's voice seems as strong as ever. He has a light schedule today and some time to rest up before his debate Thursday evening with Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York.

Yet, when Clinton's crowd claps when she drinks water after a coughing spurt...they are just engaging in good ole' political fun, right?

It's quite intellectually dishonest of you to presume that people know of the incident to which you're referring, and then go on to accuse them of double standards based on that presumption.

Um, the point is that the matter you reported is basically about as relevant and interesting as "Obama seen breathing".

... in your opinion.
