		<description>Come on Cee Cee,  the Huffington Post?

In Obama&#039;s complete statement in San Francisco, he was trying to explain why he wasn&#039;t winning in Pennsylvania.  In that complete statement, he pulled the race card twice.

1.  and when they hear a pitch that is 
premised on not being cynical about 
government, then a part of them just 
doesn’t buy it. And when it’s delivered
by ...a 46-year-old black man named Barack Obama 

2.  antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment 

Race is Obama&#039;s excuse for his short-comings and/or failures.

He is so arrogant, he cannot believe that we just don&#039;t like him--not because of his race but because of his attitude
and lack of realness.  That is a bad word.  I want to say lack of what Hillary has.  She comforts, he disrupts and divides.  She lifts, he depresses.</description>

Boy, if I had 4 mil to live on, I like to think I&#039;d do better than that.</description>

		<description>I just posted about the &quot;screw &#039;em&quot; story at my blog. Basically, the three sources for the story are less than reliable; two of them are pro-Obama/anti-Hillary zealots and the third is the author of an anti-Clinton book who&#039;s probably seeing dollar-signs right in the new publicity.

Stein either didn&#039;t do the simplest of legwork or he deliberately left some facts out for Obama&#039;s benefit. Either way, his piece is reprehensible.</description>

		<description>Flea, I&#039;m afraid he&#039;d try to out analyze the shrink.

I saw a very funny quote today in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette:

&quot;This is what Democrats get if they choose an inexperienced faculty-lounge lizard as their presidential candidate. People tend to assume that a black candidate has a lot of street sense, but Obama increasingly comes off as a classic Ivy League brainiac too impressed by his own SAT scores to change a tire without delivering an oration on the economics of rubber tree cultivation.&quot;

		<description>And btw, for you youngsters (no offense, just the 57 year old normal white female talking here) I mean the original Stepford movie.  You should watch it.  You&#039;d immediately see what I mean.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;“But they also, surprisingly enough, even in rural Iowa, recognize the opportunity to send a signal to the world that, you know, we are not as ingrown, as parochial as you may perceive.”&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Ingrown&lt;/em&gt;???  Good god, doesn&#039;t he realize that unless you&#039;re part of that erudite elite, you don&#039;t normally use that word unless you&#039;re describing a f-ed up toenail?  Sheesh.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;&quot;According to the LA Times, “Democrat Barack Obama today defended his record of understanding working-class Americans, disparaging the “fake controversies” fanned by his political rivals to suggest that he was an elitist.” (Lynn Sweet, Chicago Sun-Times and L.A. Times)

Doesn’t that strike you as monumentally arrogant?  You, Barack, were in essence telling 56% of the voting public that they are wrong… that they’re so ignorant that they’re being fooled into your opponents’ point of view.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

Give me a break...

Aside from the fact that Bill made statements during both of his campaigns that were similar if not almost exactly the same as Obama&#039;s &quot;bitter&quot; comment... there&#039;s this gem:

&lt;em&gt;In January 1995, as the Clintons were licking their wounds from the 1994 congressional elections, a debate emerged at a retreat at Camp David. Should the administration make overtures to working class white southerners who had all but forsaken the Democratic Party? The then-first lady took a less than inclusive approach.

&quot;Screw &#039;em,&quot; she told her husband. &quot;You don&#039;t owe them a thing, Bill. They&#039;re doing nothing for you; you don&#039;t have to do anything for them.&quot;

The statement -- which author Benjamin Barber witnessed and wrote about in his book, &quot;The Truth of Power: Intellectual Affairs in the Clinton White House&quot; -- was prompted by another speaker raising the difficulties of reaching &quot;Reagan Democrats.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

But of course, that doesn&#039;t matter... that was long ago and old news - as commentors here have repeatedly said. 

Ya can&#039;t have it both ways... and regardless what some commentors have said, neither Obama or Bill were being condescending when they talked about isolated, angry and bitter voters.

Granted, Bill said it better - but it&#039;s the same dang thing. And the fact that you guys keep hammering away at this and other peripheral and artificially sustained things is very telling.

How come Hillary doesn&#039;t appear to be (ARG poll aside) maintaining, let alone growing a double digit lead in PA??? She&#039;s the better candidate right? This should&#039;ve sealed the deal and brought about a massive shift in momentum... what happened? And please, don&#039;t say it&#039;s the media&#039;s fault.</description>

		<description>I think he means gay since he was talking in San Francisc. Funny though. I kind of think Obama has been toting around some gay hating preachers, so I don&#039;t think he&#039;s got any business dissing the common folk on that one. We are much more tolerant than he or his preacher are.</description>

		<description>Brazile is an big mouthed idiot. I sure hope it works out like that, but I would not trust anythng that snake says, and I do not believe she really has any intuition about Democratic politics either. She is trying to jinx Hillary by pretending to be on her side.</description>
