Haha, I did misinterpret. I thought Olbermann seems rather angry when delivering that monlogue, so it was to get you "fired up" in the sense that you dislike Hillary and her campaign, but I suppose it worked in the sense that you're referring to -- support Obama!
My initial opinion of Hillary was that she was riding the coattails of Bill, but then I changed my mind and thought she was doing a considerable job to distance herself from him, but since then, Bill's been giving speeches about a combined ticket with Hillary in the Presidential position and Obama in the Vice Presidential one. That doesn't help, but it may be his decision to deliver those messages and not her's... again, the people involved in her campaign, even her husband, aren't approaching the matter respectably. It's completely inappropriate at this point, even if it's somewhat desirable for indecisive Democrats.
Obama has certainly weaknesses as well, but they are more vague than Hillary's. It's more hyped speculation. His speeches are very moving and poignant (a lot of people probably like him, because he's the exact opposite of Bush), and others have said that he hasn't been "battle-tested" and has nowhere to go but down. I don't think that's true, although it could be in some sense. He's obviously proven himself a diligent planner, but we'll see how he'll carry out his actual agenda if he's elected. Candidates embellish during their campaign to win voters, but this is obvious of everyone.
