| Description | As Barack Obama's town hall meeting stretched into its second hour, it was clear the candidate wasn't anywhere close to finishing.
Obama had given an eight-minute answer to a question on health care, after which a few dozen people began leaving the outdoor plaza.
"Just relax," Obama told the remaining audience members. "Take your time."
For a speaker who is best known for his lofty and airy rhetoric, it's an ironic reality that Obama's public appearances very often turn into drawn-out dissertations.
In fact, read side-by-side with the other candidates' current stump speeches, the Obama script makes at least as many references to policy proposals as do theirs.
