[Times Square Bombing Update] For 0bama, 2+2=5

Times Square Bombing Update: Sometimes, pictures really are worth a 1,000 words:

Read all of the linked items at Halperin’s blog. Here is Hillary Clinton’s statement.

UPDATE: Next, here are must-read observations from a front-page story by elections expert Jerome Armstrong — “Pennsylvania Forward” at MyDD.com:

[...]

Riding into the OH and TX contests, he only needed a victory, and with the help of outside forces, outspent Clinton by a 3 or 4:1 margin in OH & TX. Nevertheless, Clinton won, in Texas by 4 percent, and in Ohio by 10 percent.

Yes, there is a pattern.

It’s pretty rare that an upstart candidate gets a shot at beating an establishment candidate even once, and yet, Obama’s had three swings and missed each time. He’s not going to have another shot at putting away Clinton with everything going from him, as he did his first three chances.

The problem for Obama is that he’s run out of chances to put Clinton away. Now, with the next big contest looming in PA, she’s the one favored and riding the momentum. I’m sure that Clinton will raised $20-30M, more than enough, to win, even if Obama does raise $50M in March. The national poll numbers have already swung back to favor Clinton. With the potential of having FL & MI contests, it’ll be up to Obama to upset the equation, starting in Pennsylvania. Are super-delegates are going to be swayed to vote for a candidate that loses the trifecta of PA/MI/FL, but points to a delegate lead due to wins in Republican states like a caucus like WY and a primary in MS? I doubt it.

I should add that neither Obama or Clinton has, or can possibly have within reason, the number of delegates needed to win this outright. A rule of thumb I have for recognizing the campaign that’s ‘losing’ at the moment is to listen to which one is making their argument based on ‘the math’ or ‘the numbers’ of the delegates that are nevertheless not enough– this won’t be won on a technicality.

Read all of “Pennsylvania Forward” at MyDD.com to get the full logic of Jerome’s observations and conclusions.

Thank you, Mel, for the link to the YouTube.

    Yeeee-ouch! Boy, does that make him out to be a weasel on all of his alleged strengths.

    It is awesome. Must go back to YouTube, and subscribe to that guy’s videos and check out any other videos he may have done.

    See the reaction to the screenshot from the Obama-ites at MyDD.

    Do we have to explain everything to these people? Guess so. At the very least, it’s *smart* politics for a presidential candidate to issue statements on incidents such as this. Especially when the other candidates have done so.

  • TeakwoodKite

    And OUI’s statement? Not?

  • Rob Gard

    Perhaps because it is one area where the Commander-in-Chief has virtually unfettered discretion, and they would get crucifed for jumping the gun before Bush acts. However if Bush does replace his CENTCOM chief with one of his usual accolytes, McCain and Hillary could appropriately comment at that point.

  • Cee

    McCain and Hillary feed on panic and fear.

    Obama doesn’t.

  • Gregoryp

    You are right Cee. Obama doesn’t feed off of fear and panic he feeds off of ignorance, racism, sexism, corruption and lying. He is simply the worst candidate that has ever been this close to the white house. Not only is it an abomination it shows just how stupid the people of this country actually are. Here is a guy who along with Deval Patrick basically molded their identical campaigns from a fictitional character on a TV show and idiots like yourself have bought into it hook, line and sinker. For goodness sake they used the same rhetoric, intonations and gestures as Jimmy Smits’ character on west wing. This is completely insane. Look in the real world Shallow Hal doesn’t become president of the USA. This whole scenario is so stupid that it could be an Adam Sandler movie.

  • fribbles

    Once again, Clinton and McCain seize the moment and look presidential, Obama, by virtue of his silence, looks like he doesn’t care.

    Perceptions matter. Couple this stunning silence with MO’s “I’m not proud of America” gaff and pretty soon the GOP’s gonna make Obama into a flag-burning Nation of Islam hippie.

  • Mr.Murder

    In fairness to Obama, he’s probably the second worst ever candidate to get this close, the current regime’s leader being the worst ever.

    Be sure to call the NYPD and tell them it’s obvious who’s behind it. Lord.

  • TeakWoodKite

    For all that Hope dope, OUI is pushing, Obama feeds of the misery and ignorance of others.

    Getting cold yet? What the pipes are frozen? OUI didn’t know? A community orginizer? For who Rezko?

    You must be one LLC shy of corrupt or 50 million in debt.

    Feed? Some trough OUI’s climed out of. “We are gonna make you a Senator”…mmmm
    Jimmy Smits’ character on west wing …well said.

  • Independent

    “Every little breeze seems to whisper…” 911 ! 911 ! 911 ! 911 ! lol

  • Simon

    Pushback from the little moron, who just can’t seem to see outside his little virtual reality feedbag.

    Too bad.

    He’ll still have to leave office in less than a year, and all he can see is himself.

    He simply does not have the power he thinks he does, and everybody KNOWS his game plan.

  • Simon

    I hope they play Cheney and Bush to the fullest, given their time in office is almost up.

    Those two, and their posse, just can’t catch a fucking clue, or give up a losing war strategy.

    See why Obama shouldn’t even be considered for Office?

    heh, let’s play who is the bigger shithead, Obama, Bush, or Cheney, who is the most delusional, and what will he do next?

  • CK

    And in Seattle someone burned down some McMansions.
    A convenient sign was left claiming responsibility.
    The claimers even spelled eco-terrorist properly
    Dezinformatsia
    And in NYC at the slowest hour of the night, someone blew a hole in a doorjamb. They will capture this terrawrist right after they capture the Anthrax mailer.
    Desinformatsia

    what … obama has been essentially missing in action for the last day and a half … since the loss on tuesday nite. so where is he … why isnt he in the forefront … where, where, where!

    do i detect a pattern here with obama … all talk and no walk? a three o’clock am phone call indeed … he isnt ready.

  • Gregoryp

    Well, I don’t think this is correct. I think Bush was a terrible candidate but he did have some skins on the wall and he didn’t constantly flip flop on ideology. I never heard him say in a liberal leaning state that he wanted to ban hand guns. That would be the equivalent to what Obama did in Idaho. Now, Bush is easily the worst president I’ve ever heard of. Would Obama be just as bad? I hope not.
