Obama Is Avoiding Black Neighborhoods [Updated]
By SusanUnPC on May 5, 2008 at 9:27 AM in Barack Obama, Indiana, Race, Race Card
UPDATE: From “Blacks in Indy bemoan lack of candidate visits” in the Indianapolis Star: “Obama’s absence, in particular, has been galling to some blacks, community leaders say.”
“IT IS JUST UNUSUAL”: Amos Brown, who hosts “Afternoons With Amos” on WTLC-AM (1310), said that “with 42 percent of the state’s black voting population in Marion County,” the short list of appearances in Indianapolis by Barack Obama “does raise some eyebrows.”
______________________________
Uppity Woman wrote a heck of a story on May 1 that blew my mind: “Obama Snubs Black Media.” Now, thanks to UPI, we find out that he’s also avoiding black neighborhoods:
RALEIGH, N.C., May 2 (UPI) — Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has been avoiding stops in black communities in his quest to become the first black major party nominee for the U.S. presidency.
The saddest line in this sorry story? “Isaac Onah, a political science professor at the University of North Carolina, told the Boston Globe that black voters appear to understand Obama’s campaign strategy.” Oh great, Barack. Even your hapless black supporters know you’re trying to win white votes by not being seen with them.
Maybe Obama’s like his preacher. He talks the talk about racial equality and believes in black nationalism. But where is Rev. Wright having his church pay for and build his multi-million-dollar mansion? In an overwhelmingly WHITE and GATED community, on a golf course. Talk’s cheap, isn’t it.
Furthermore, Obama can “run but he can’t hide”: USAToday’s’s story today by Susan Page, “Poll: Flap over pastor hurts Obama,” notes that “Barack Obama’s national standing has been significantly damaged by the controversy over his former pastor.” Writes Page, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll’s finding raises “questions for some voters about the Illinois senator’s values, credibility and electability.”
Here’s one more quote:
Darryl Carson, a 41-year-old industrial clerk, told the Globe he sees Obama “walking a thin line.”
It’s thin alright. Thin on honesty, integrity, and just plain being who you are, instead of running from it.
There’s something profoundly, deeply tragic in this.
I can dig wanting to be the “post-racial” candidate. But wanting to be the candidate who avoids people who look like him? That’s the ugliest form of politics.

Obama is a chameleon. He changes colors (says or does whatever he needs to say or do) to win somebody over, whether he believes it or not. Other words that come to mind are fraud and scam artist.
Obama is unelectable.
Obama’s INNER CRACKER….exposed….How Typical !….Chuckle….
Good Article…..
OH THE IRONY…….
Hey, the NYT says Wright hasn’t hurt Obama one bit.
And that has become on credible newspaper this primary season.
I don’t think the “Times” or any of the major newspapers that helped the Bush Administration lead this nation into an invasion of Iraq has been “credible” for quite some time.
If the people in print media and the talking heads on television talked about how they fare in the polls it would be readily apparent that most people don’t put much faith in any media anymore.
Most of us believe they are all just a bunch of corporate shills saying whatever is necessary to get that multi-million dollar paycheck.
Like the ever brilliant Somerby says:
But only temporarily. The question is, with a multimillionaire press corps, which will disappear first — the middle class or democracy itself.
Just not very well.
Every day Obama’s accent and personality change to suit his audience. But there is one problem with that — when you get tired you can’t remember who you’re supposed to be on a given day. This is what’s happening to the big BO now. And I don’t care what the political science professor says — Obama is doing to AA voters just what he did to his grandmother — typical white person. Is his base of AA voters to be used only when necessary and pushed to the back of the bus while he courts the white vote? I don’t care whether your color is black, white, red or green nobody likes to be USED.
“Every day Obama’s accent and personality change to suit his audience.”
How’s Hillary’s new southern accent working out for you? Is it any better than the “black” accent she trotted out last year in black churches?
Oh, Jeff, go jump into one of those Oregon Great Lakes.
LOL!!!! At least Hillary lived and worked in the South for decades. I’m from the South. She is one of us. Too bad the same can’t be said for Barry, Barky OB, BO, whatever the hell is name is. How about his newfound Southern accent when he hits the South. Mr. Uppity NEVER stepped in the South a day of his life, until… he NEEDED to, then he put that Southern drawl to work like he was for real. Quite the Bamboozler he is, ole Barry, Barky, BO, OB… or whatever his name is.
You are correct…..Hillary is an adopted STEEL MANOLIA….
Sorry I meant Magnolia….Need batteries for my keyboard….
Scuse’
Panderer is another word that comes to mind. Pandering for votes is his specialty, but of course, he deflects all of his dysfunctionality onto Hillary.
Just thought of another word — LOSER.
obama doesn’t have the skill set to walk a thin line very long successfully. so ole obama is holding himself in check. gee michelle, you had better get used to it. if you dish it out, expect it to come back at you.
MSNBC: “Barack Obama has won more pledged delegates, he’s won more popular votes, and he’s won more states. So what does Hillary have? The all-mighty women’s vote…”
First, stating matter-of-factly that Obama leads in the popular vote shows how in-the-tank the media is for Obama. Hillary is ahead in the popular vote.
Second, here’s another story about Hillary being “kept afloat” by women’s votes, with NOTHING being said about the 9-1 lead Obama enjoys in the AA vote.
Also, Zogby is making an ass of himself on POTUS 08, once again promoting bogus polls showing twenty percent undecided and a toss-up in Indiana. Just like he did for Pennsylvania, Texas and Ohio. Tomorrow Zogby will publish his REAL poll, showing Hillary but by six or seven in Indiana and NC much closer than previously reported.
Then on Wednesday he’ll congratulate himself for being “exactly right.” Again.
Just shameful.
How do you explain not counting the votes of two major states needed to win in November?
How do you explain the big hole in November where the center of the party used to be? Almost 35% of those people say they will not vote for him.
A vote for Barack H Obama guarantees a win of historic proportions for John Sidney McCain in November. That’s the prize. You don’ seem to be able to keep your eye on it.
The problem for Howard Dean and Donna Brazile was that this was a set up for Obama to be the nominee after Super Tuesday. First of all Obama could not close the deal and second of all they underestimated the tenacity of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Look at this propaganda at the MSNBC website:
“Obama leading in early Indiana results”
“May 3: Bill Ruthhart, reporter for the Indianapolis Star, tells MSNBC’s Alex Witt that early abstentee ballot results show an advantage for Barack Obama in several key Indiana counties. Full story”
What a joke. The huge headline states that Obama is leading.
but the text says these are only early absentee ballot results in several counties.
The media is ready to take it in the a$$ for Barack. They created him and they are not going to go down without a huge fight … until McCain of course when they will flip like a killer white whale.
What an excellent way to turn out the CRACKERS…..This is rich…
It’s called election tampering, plain and simple. It is outrageous that a news organization would leak early results like this in an effort to manipulate an election.
For shame, MSNBC.
Bill Clinton barnstorming North Carolina and drawing HUGE crowds, even causing three people to faint! Eat that, Barack!!
Indiana beginning to swing to Clinton, as expected. North Carolina will be tight too- notice how we never hear anyone in the media ask what if Obama loses both states? It’s all about “how can Hillary stay in?”
Who keeps moving the goalposts again?
NOT SURPRISED A BIT…..FARMERS LOVE THOSE CLINTONS…..
She DELIVERS the big agricutural states…..The DNC is a ship o fools….
“FARMERS LOVE THOSE CLINTONS…..
She DELIVERS the big agricutural states…..”
Right, except for Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota…
GAZAJEFF….THERE ARE NO CAUCUSES IN NOVEMBER….FOOL….
YOUR CANDIDATE IS HEADED FOR POLITICAL OBSCURITY…..
“GAZAJEFF….”
Wow, so clever. I guess I should call you “bosniaworkingclassartist” from now on.?
Obama has phone banks in GAZA….Proove to me that Clinton has phone banks in Bosnia YOU TWIT !
This question is not meant to be anything but simply an inquiry…. is there real evidence that there are phone banks for Obama in Gaza? There is commentary out there by some young folks from Gaza but do we really know for sure if there are organized phone banks and if there are, do we know at all who is paying for them???
And if they are organized by the Obama campaign, however tangentially, what does that say about election laws being broken???
I’ve just re-read my last 100 or so posts and realized what an idiot I am. I want to publicly apologize to everyone on noquarter for having to scroll through my childish gibberish and making it so hard to read the interesting posts.
I’m actually scared. I know Barack’s going to lose and this campaign is all I have. That and bothering all of you for attention, something I don’t get here at work, sitting in my little grey cubicle. No one here thinks I’m worth talking to, but you do! Hey, even if it’s negative, at least someone notices me. As you can imagine, I don’t have a girlfriend. I haven’t been on a date since that one in high school, which I don’t like to talk about. Anyway, I’m going to post later that this wasn’t actually me, just to save face.
So good luck with the Hillary thing, everybody.
Funny!
Jeff,if u r bored in ur gray cubicle, the best thing u can do is QUIT!!! Give that cubicle to someone who is worth the money of ur company. I hope it is not taxpayers’money that is paying you to “steal” the company’s time!
You r a carbon copy of BHO, a WHINER !!!!”No one pays attention to me!” GROW UP, MISTER!!!
Susan– go to Gaza and report back, Kay?
LOL…..Ginamac…..that was priceless…..Mkay ?
Obama won Missouri by ONE PERCENTAGE POINT!
ONE PERCENTAGE POINT!!!!
The difference was the AA votes in places like St. Louis.
Hillary WON THE RURAL WHITE VOTE.
And Missouri happened before Wright and the bitter, clinging to their guns remarks.
Oh I forgot, please don’t confuse Obama supporters with real information.
In the fall, should he be the nominee, Missouri won’t swing for Obama. And you can take that to the bank!
All are caucus states except MO and Hillary won big in the rural areas and won all counties except St Louis and Kansas City (big AA vote). MO was a win for Obama but very narrow.
I believe the win was 0.9%
I find Michelle to be truly offensive. She seems haughty and condescending. What is up with Obama and his dressing like a Nation of Islam member? The starched white shirt, the black suits, the shades. I just do not believe he disagrees with Wright in any way, I think they planned the NPR speech together to give Obama the distance he needed from him in public. I think that America is being set up and Barack has an AGENDA because in his book he states unequivocally that if “things turn ugly, I will stand with the Muslims”
I think that is exactly what he plans to do. His economic plans will really hurt my husband and I that much is clear, but I worry much more about what the Obama’s REAL agenda is.
AND WHY hasn’t the news talked about the Ayers friendship? The power plant contract in Iraq? The creep that bailed Rezco out that donated to Obama? I want these things in the MSM being investigated!
I agree with you….Meeeeeechelle….IS A VIOLENT ASSAULT ON THE INTELLECT….
I agree. If at all possible, she is worse than he is. She is really an arrogant snot.
see: Winnie Mandela.
True but she ( Winnie ) was such a colorful dresser…..No ?
Especially her Necklaces.
Back in 2004 at the Democratic Convention, I remember thinking after Obama made that speech and she appeared on the stage with him, what an attractive power couple.
And then she hit the campaign trail. She’s not been an asset at all. She’s playing the strong black woman persona, who doesn’t take any shit. Sorry, but it ain’t workin from a media standpoint. I keep saying, why does she of all people have such an overt chip on a shoulder. She lives in a mansion, her husband is a US Senator, she’s a lawyer. Somebody needs to mention to her: uh you’ve achieved the American Dream, even without the presidency. Attitudes like that I accept here in my neighborhood where unemployment is high and money is tight. From them, not at all.
Check out the Meredith Viera Today Show interview on youtube. She is clenched jawed and almost snarling. Her posture is terrible: round-shouldered and practically slumping.
The body language between the two of them was also cold and tense. There was only one moment of warmth and it came from Obama. It looked like she was ticked off with him a bit. Believe me, I know that look.
I noticed that slumping posture, too, Mimi, right after he gave the (second) Wright apology speech. He was stumping somewhere and she was sitting next to him, her hair sticking out from the top of her head, slack-jawed, staring into space.
She and Obama are exhausted. I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.
I’m so excited for tomorrow! Go Hill!
Kathryn, I have noticed that, too. He dresses like a young Malcolm X (minus the glasses) or Louis Farrakhan. I think every step this man takes…every word that comes from his mouth is by design.
For some reason, I keep singing the little ditty by Rachel Drummond today… “I’m takin’ takin’, back back, the White House White House. Make it so, North Carolina and Indiana.
Kathryn — I totally agree with you. Check out Sena Hannity on Fox. He is talking about all this. Sean is also talking about Black Liberation Theology. In short Politics and Religion would be one. Obama and the Rev are on the same page on this. Kinda scary.
Liberation Theology can be researched extensively by going to the Catholic Encyclopedia…..Black Liberation Theology is the same thing but afro centric…..MARXISM WRAPPED UP IN THE BABY JESUS…..
I am going to go dig up that Boston Globe article. Very interesting- I grew up in Boston and the Globe is well read and respected. If the Globe is turning up the heat and showcasing Obama’s fall, they may be subtly running down Kerry as well. Don’t think they would touch Teddy, but Kerry??? HMMM interesting.
I did a piece this week on my blog about Patrick and Obama and why Massachusetts wants nothing to do with Obama. The Bluest State recognizes the recycled Patrick who is a dismal failure. This could be the first year Mass doesn’t go democrat if that slug is the nominee.
aye… I hear large crates of arugula are being dumped in Boston Harbor…!
Hmmmm…..But as an OFFICIAL OREO AMBASSADOR TO THE WORLD AT LARGE……Why would he be hesitant to hang in the hood…….
Senator/Candidate Clone.
How much sense does it make for him to be the nominee when a dependable blue state like good ole Massachusetts goes RED?
Alas Mimi…..Very astute…..
This is huge. It will make history. Mass going red is unthinkable but it will make a huge statement. This is HUGE. Tell the SD’s that. If Barrack Hussein Mohammed Obama gets to be the nominee, Mass goes red…woo wow.
“Now, thanks to UPI, we find out that he’s also avoiding black neighborhoods:”
This is beyond absurd. Of course he’s not spending a lot of time in black neighborhoods–he has the black vote locked up at 90%. He’s using smart strategy, going to the places where he’s weaker, chewing away at Hillary’s white vote, making inroads on her turf. This is ELECTION STRATEGY 101.
“The saddest line in this sorry story? “Isaac Onah, a political science professor at the University of North Carolina, told the Boston Globe that black voters appear to understand Obama’s campaign strategy.””
Yes, it’s oh so “sad” that his African-American supporters understand ELECTION STRATEGY 101.
“I can dig wanting to be the “post-racial” candidate. But wanting to be the candidate who avoids people who look like him? That’s the ugliest form of politics.”
Unbelievable. You know what’s the “ugliest form of politics”? That last paragraph you wrote. You actually think Obama is trying to avoid people “who look like him”?! You know what Susan? I don’t think you really mean that. This is cheap, gutter politics, and you’re better than this.
Yeah, why bother showing some gratitude to the suckers by stopping by for five minutes?
Jeff, Susan is simply pointing out something:
Obama is a Typical White Person
LOL!
well, he is half-white…
OBAMA IS AN OREO WEEEEEEENIE…..nuff said…..
Tou-fucking-ché!!!!
Now that’s what I’ve been saying all along.
Obama is a typical fraud. They come in all colors. But the one thing all frauds have in common is that they use people to get ahead and in the end the people they stepped on get it and they are finished.
“cheap, gutter gutter politics”
How fucking rich to have someone that trolls here and attacks Hillary and her supporters, lecturing Susan on what is dirty politics. Oh.. the irony of an Obama devotee taking the high road. Yeah, the caucus-cheating, waffle-eating, robo-calling, poll-numbers-falling Obama campaign lectures US on decent politics.
“How fucking rich to have someone that trolls here and attacks Hillary and her supporters, lecturing Susan on what is dirty politics.”
There’s nothing wrong with attacking Obama or Hillary on the merits. But when some writes a post so intellectually dishonest as to attack Obama for not campaigning in black neighborhoods, insinuating…what? That he doesn’t like black people?
Anyone with half a brain (and I include Susan in that category) knows why he isn’t campaigning there–because he needs to improve his standing among white voters. There’s nothing else to it.
The only reason to post it the way Susan did is to stir up the racial fires once again. And yes, that is cheap, gutter politics.
No, to highlight yet again that he takes AAs for granted and doesn’t talk about their issues. This hardly “cheap, gutter politics”. Just the facts even though they hurt.
I didn’t get that at all from the article. What this AA wants to know is now that Rev Wright is out of the bag, why continue to try to run this ‘transcendant’ campaign? At this point, there’s no reason to completely avoid all AA neighborhoods. He could at least schedule one.
What blacks don’t get is that this is not shrewd from a voter standpoint. He’ll owe our voting bloc NOTHING. Plus he’s setting a very dangerous precedent which other candidates may follow in the future. That possibility I like least of all.
“What blacks don’t get is that this is not shrewd from a voter standpoint. He’ll owe our voting bloc NOTHING.”
Another “AA” speaks for the entire race…
This is a preview of what is to come for the AA community. BHO has no intentions to be assisting the black community in any way. He is only interested in money and fame. He is climbing on the backs of the AA’s only to leave them behind like he did in his district in Chicago. With BHO, he is heavily into the class thing. He is definitely classist.
He said his granny would cross the street when seeing a black male stranger. DOH! That what’s all women do. Color doesn’t matter. He is so out of touch it isn’t funny.
Mimi,
What does Hillary owe the AA (yawn) voting block?
We are not insinuating that Obama doesn’t like Black people — we are saying that he uses people and when he doesn’t need them he tosses them under a bus.
Seems to me that attacking Obama for taking the AA vote for granted is completely legitimate. Sure, Obama has good reason for considering that vote in his pocket- but big deal? He isn’t campaigning in black neighborhoods, Hillary is criticizing him for not campaigning in black neighborhoods.
Where is the dishonesty here? Hillary isn’t Obama’s apologist or campaign manager, she isn’t responsible for covering his ass. He’s taking the AA vote for granted. What’s wrong with pointing that out?
You can add to your list: race-baiting and fear-mongering threats of riots.
By the way, where did Oprah go? Hiding in Der Fuhrer’s underground bunker with him and Eva Braun?
Trying to stay ahead of Ellen De Generes in the Ratings Game?
Oprah, however, can always pull back to “Nuts ‘n Sluts” television for a ratings bump, whereas Ellen has never done that format.
But, the Season is Young, yet.
LMAO…..Fred you are a gentleman and a scholar….Salute !
Going to be hard to do when Oprah abandoned all her typical white people women viewers, I would imagine.
“Hiding in Der Fuhrer’s underground bunker with him and Eva Braun?”
Another Nazi comparison. You guys need some new villains. Let’s look to popular culture! Maybe he’s really Darth Vader!
Perhaps likening him to Rupert Pupkin might be more appropriate.
Obama’s Bleak Future
May 5, 2008
It doesn’t look good at all for Obama politically. And Obama’s Internet warriors will be very proud of themselves when Obama loses everything and goes down in massive defeat in the form of some whimpering off for “personal family matters.” But could there be more trouble for Obama than losing the nomination?
Thanks to Obama stupidly running for an office he is unqualified for and his woefully poor judgment, many cans of worms have been opened up. And who knows what else might come out that might even cause him legal trouble, not to mention he is now risking losing his Senate seat with all the animosity he has caused by threatening race riots and insurrection if he is not elected.
I have no knowledge this is actually occurring, but it is logical to assume Democratic Party officials are currently working behind the scenes to boot Obama out on his ass, out of the presidential race. Perhaps it probably would be more of a parachute than a boot, because of the hornet’s nest of racial tension and threats of violence Obama has used in his campaign.
Obama played the race/fear card already and it has lost its effect and in fact has totally backfired: Now, people fear Obama himself.
The Obama supporters tend to be gullible and impressionable, therefor they would never even consider that what is before their eyes — Obama’s continuing the campaign — and what goes on behind closed doors — could be too very different animals, indeed.
So if pro-Obama folks want to create fake videos and spread rumors about them as if the videos are real, by all means, they can spin their wheels all they want. And if they want to boast about super delegates Obama has been buying, that’s fine. Until there is a massive defection of SDs, that’s all noise designed to keep our morale down. Hillary has an amazing ground game going and the people involved could give a flying fuck about Internet noise and diversions from young people. And to these young people, this is all a game, and when its over they can go back to masturbating and watching video games.
The Oath of Office Obama agreed to:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
I think one could argue Obama has violated his Oath of Office and the Constitution of the United States he swore he would support and defend in many many ways.
Since Obama is a pseudo “Constitutional Law Professor” he should have no problem explaining how fomenting insurrection does not violate the Constitution and his Oath of Office.
Furthermore, Article I Section 6 of the US Constitution that Obama swore to support and defend states:
“The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.”
I am not a lawyer, but it is pretty clear to me Obama has been involved in a “Breach of the Peace” and could suffer the consequences of this violation of the Constitution and his Oath of Office. I’ll let legal scholars and real Constitutional law professors debate this.
Article II Section 4 of the USC could be further trouble for Obama:
“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
Article III Section 3 of the USC defines Treason and its punishment as follows:
“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.”
Perhaps not in the legal sense but against the spirit of the USC, Obama’s relationship with Ayers (and god knows who else yet to be unmasked) could be construed as giving “aid and comfort” to our enemies.
To be thorough on the treason issue, Article IV Section 2 of the USC contains:
“A Person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on Demand of the executive Authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having Jurisdiction of the Crime.”
The Constitution of the Unites States is an amazing document and provides our country with protections that I hope we won’t have to use to protect ourselves any time soon.
For some reason I don’t think Obama ever studied the Constitution too carefully. He certainly has no trouble stomping on and pissing all over it. “So help me God” is part of the oath Obama took — he better hope his god will forgive him. I don’t think America will ever forgive him though.
I know I won’t forgive Obama, his supporters, cronies, surrogates, contributors and endorsers for the dog shit they have dragged America through under the guise of “we just have to have a black president” — when in reality Obama could give a rat’s ass about black people or any other people for that matter and has set back the civil rights movement many years. Obama only cares about Obama and his future does look very bleak, indeed.
For some reason I don’t think Obama ever studied the Constitution too carefully.
Hmmm wonder what reason that is?
Obama hasn’t studied anything too carefully. He’s entitled to his free ride without hard work - didn’t you know that?
But wasn’t he a Constitutional
professorassistant professorlecturer?Excellent- I had looked at the Oath wondering how in the HELL he can get a security clearance. Clearly Ayer’sis an “enemy…domestic” and his middle eastern friends fall in the enemy, foreign category.
Obama is as mad as Hitler-
“Obama is as mad as Hitler-”
Come on, it’s still a little early for the Hitler comparisons. Can’t you hold off until at least after lunch?
Obama subscribed for 20 years to a political theology of RACIAL SUPREMACY……..Nuff said…..
“Obama subscribed for 20 years to a political theology of RACIAL SUPREMACY……..Nuff said…..”
No, he didn’t. You’re going to have to do a lot better than toss out bald, totally unsupported assertions. If this is how you think we’re going to win in November, we’ve already lost.
Jeff, the Democrats AREN’T going to win in November. Plenty of people will see to it. Obama will never be president if he is endorsed and we both pretty much know he likely will be. Nobody wants riots in the streets even though they know he’s a huge loser.
Agreed, and I know you are referring to if Obama is the nominee, but I don’t see that happening. Democratic leaders know we can’t afford 4 or 6 years of McCain. There is way too much at stake as issues of major concern have to be taken on, head on. I’ll be writing about this soon.
America is strong and resilient and should never and will never give in to blackmail. It sets a horrific precedent. This is why I have faith Obama is being guided out the door behind the scenes, as we speak.
Hang tight, we’ll know soon enough.
“Jeff, the Democrats AREN’T going to win in November.”
At least you’re honest in your intentions. The whole point of this site is obviously to re-elect the GOP in November.
“Obama will never be president if he is endorsed and we both pretty much know he likely will be.”
Hey, I’m glad to see you’re no longer in denial.
Jeff, I know you are a card-carrying member of the Obamaborg, but this is a Koolaid-free zone (except for you trolls), so many of us have different opinions about the state of the selection process and freely express them. We don’t just type in what was in the memo received from Obama headquarters this morning, as you do.
A month ago, I would have agreed that Dean and the other party leaders were going to succeed in making Obama the nominee in spite of his obvious unelectability. Recent events, however, have caused my opinion to change. Things are obviously going Hillary’s way, and it looks more and more like Dean will in fact not be able to impose his will on the party.
Threatening violence is not going to work. Dean may be willing to spinelessly cave to such tactics, but the majority of voting Dems will never stand for it. Obama and his followers took the good will he brought into this contest and with their bullying, smirky, sexist, racist and ageist campaign have destroyed any chance of his being a viable candidate in the GE.
Too many good solid Democrats are just not willing to hold their noses and vote for this guy in the GE. I am not a Reagan Democrat — I voted for Carter and Mondale; but I will never vote for the frighteningly Bush-like Obama should he get the nomination. If Dean cares anything about this party, he will look for a graceful exit and push Obama through it. But whether or not he has the sense to do that, it looks like Hillary will prevail, and not a minute too soon for the good of this country.
“Jeff, I know you are a card-carrying member of the Obamaborg, but this is a Koolaid-free zone (except for you trolls), so many of us have different opinions about the state of the selection process and freely express them. We don’t just type in what was in the memo received from Obama headquarters this morning, as you do.”
Marcy, here’s some advice. It’s obvious you’ve posted something worth several paragraphs, and since it’s a reply to me, I’d really like to read all of it. However, if you insist on opening your post by personally insulting me, as so many others here do, I’m simply not going to read the rest of it.
Be innovative! Put the insults at the end!
Jeff; of Mutt and Jeff?

Or of, “Pink Lady and Jeff?”
How ever will I sleep tonight knowing that Jeff didn’t read my comment?
His rallies were certainly straight out of the Youth Movement playbook, but I will draw the line there, although it’s certainly not a pretty line is it? Besides, his daddy was a government Marxist and so is he. In fact, If Karl Marx were available, HuffPo and Moveon would be endorsing him instead.
Quick….SOMEBODY DIG UP MARX….HE MAKES MORE SENSE…LOL
I used to have a Dedicated Hippy Girlfriend (”Live-In model, Mark II: JuCo Social Sciences Instructor, complete with fuzzy armpits”) back when I was a Typical Chamber of Commerce American Businessman…oh, god, THERE was a dull decade…
Had to CONTINUALLY remind her that, when MY friends asked who was her favorite Marx brother, to NOT reply, “Karl.”
ROFLMO…..Clever Fred…..Very Clever…..
“his daddy was a government Marxist and so is he.”
You don’t even know what you’re talking about. You hear political buzzwords in a coffeeshop somewhere, you throw them up onto No Quarter.
” If Karl Marx were available, HuffPo and Moveon would be endorsing him instead.”
This statement proves the obvious: you’re not a Democrat. Only someone who listens to Rush Limbaugh every day would pop this one off.
I particularly love it when a group of snots who have never before found their way to politics tells those of us who have supported Democratic candidates for the better part of three decades who is a Democrat and who isn’t.
A Democrat stands up for voting rights and doesn’t hang his hat on “rules.” That I do know. People marched and gave their lives so that Obama the snot could vote, much less run for public office and he doesn’t get it.
When you shut down a vote, you have lost the mantle of a Democrat. That’s for sure.
“I particularly love it when a group of snots who have never before found their way to politics tells those of us who have supported Democratic candidates for the better part of three decades who is a Democrat and who isn’t.”
Except that I’ve worked professionally in Democratic politics for the last 6 years, and been a registered Democrat and active voter/activist since I was 18.
People who say they’ll be voting for McCain in November aren’t Democrats. That’s a basic piece of logic for you. Nothing you say will change that.
“A Democrat stands up for voting rights and doesn’t hang his hat on “rules.””
Without “rules”, no vote would ever matter anywhere. Take a moment to think that through.
“People marched and gave their lives so that Obama the snot could vote, much less run for public office and he doesn’t get it.”
Not for a Democratic primary. There are no laws anywhere guaranteeing a right to participate in a party’s nomination process. The process was energetically opened up over the last 30 years, but that’s still at the discretion of the party. You wouldn’t be here arguing for the superdelegates to pick Hillary over Obama if you thought any differently.
“When you shut down a vote, you have lost the mantle of a Democrat. That’s for sure.”
Then blame the Democrats in Florida and Michigan for “shutting down” their own goddamned vote–THEY’RE RESPONSIBLE.
Jeff, being a paid Obama troll doesn’t really count as working professionally in Democratic politics. It’s like Obama claiming to be a foreign policy expert based on his living in Indonesia when he was seven.
Jeff I find your criticism to be highly offensive since it is CLEAR THAT YOU RESIDE IN GAZA…..Obesus Porcus !
You mean you didn’t see the Barak Obama Senior white papers? His father was heavily involved in Kenyan politics. Know your Messiah’s family, Jess. Tsk.
You might want to brush up on your history BEFORE you eat your lunch clown…
“You might want to brush up on your history BEFORE you eat your lunch clown…”
When you offer one iota of evidence associating Barack Obama with the Nazi Party, we’ll talk.
Obama via Wright subscribed to a FASCIST POLITICAL THEOLOGY FOR OVER 20 YEARS….Now Jeff according to Pastor Wright this might be hard to understand….You know it’s a right brain kinda thang……
Let us know what time works for you.
Coming from the campaign whose spiritual advisor claims that the United States government conspired to “create” the HIV/AIDS virus for the sole purpose of destroying one race, it is a little disengenuous for you to scream “extreme …,” dontcha think?
“I am not a lawyer, but it is pretty clear to me Obama has been involved in a “Breach of the Peace” and could suffer the consequences of this violation of the Constitution and his Oath of Office. I’ll let legal scholars and real Constitutional law professors debate this.”
I really hope you’re just copying and pasting this nonsense. If you actually wrote it, wow…
Garlicnosed Guitarist — Brilliant comment. However, I think you have left one group out who will be furious at Obama if he fails to deliver. These are the fatcats who gave this novice 250 Mill to run for president. I think this will be Obama’s last term in the Senate. Who is gonna give this smooth talking fraud big money to run again?
Thanks for adding to my thoughts with yours. I would not want to be in Obama’s shoes knowing all those fat cats are pissed off at me!
The fat cats will get over it, ces la vie.
I wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of either Clinton. They’ve taken plenty of money they won’t be able to deliver on.
I wonder how some OPEC members will want to be paid back. The following is from an interesting little site. Thank goodness that Hill won’t be the nominee and the junk in her trunk won’t be emptied again for all to see.
Debunk this:
“Since Obama is a pseudo “Constitutional Law Professor”
He was not a professor. He was an unpaid intern.
Call the college. They will verify that.
“Pseudo” means “false”. I am saying he is not a professor.
Ciao
I don’t have anything against Muslims, my previous post seems like I do, but I do not. I just worry about a US President who would make such a statement.
Your concern is a valid one in that the office of POTUS is one where the objectives of th country as a whole are PARAMOUNT…..
Obama repesents a threat to traditional alliances based on a common set of ideaologies…..We have alliances of tradition…..We have alliances that are strategic…..We have alliances of convenience…..Choose which of these alliances an Obama foreign policy would threaten…..
Why hasn’t there been much news coverage about his Hamas endorsement last week?
What’s up with that?
BHO is a dangerous pick and he has alot of people fooled. History repeats itself. Think of when Hitler got voted in…..dum de dum
The Swedish media covered this weeks ago. They were in ‘Killadelphia’ as they called it, journalist and photographer both, and wandered unescorted into the seamy soup kitchen neighbourhoods to interview people. Most people had not heard of Obama and they noted Obama was not about to dirty his Guccis in those neighbourhoods either.
http://www.expressen.se/nyheter/1.1121519/vem-ar-barack-obama
I lived in Philadelphia….I think this entire story is hilarious….Obama is such a weeeeenie….And I’M A CRACKER FROM THE SOUTH….I never got mugged.
Obama to Hoffa: Endorse me and I will end the investigations into your union. I know that is a simplification, but this breaking story will go viral.
http://online.wsj.com/article_print/SB120994756511766395.html
Congress spent months investigating Whitehouse interference with the justice department and now we have a democrat candidate for president promising to do the same type of favor in exchange for an endorsement.
OMG — This story is incendiary — Wow. As Forrest Gump would say — CROOKED IS AS CROOKED DOES.
Sugar and Spice also wrote a great commentary, “Obama’s Chick on the Side: Black America.”
Of course while Obama is avoiding the State of the Black Union, the MLK memorial, black neighborhoods, etc, etc, what exactly is he doing? Is he supposedly reaching out to white voters? Because some of us biter garlic noses that don’t like arugula, aren’t really feeling the love, either.
I get more and more disturbed by Obama every day.
I found a theme going through his talks lately- “It’s in my DNA”
Now what do we suppose that means??? Hitler had no notion of DNA, but he sure believed in a superior race.
His supporters remind me more and more of Hitler’s crowds during the build up to WWII, mindlessly following the leader.
God help us all.
It means….( chuckle )
IFYOU ARE A CRACKER…..VOTE FOR MY INNER CRACKER……
IF YOU ARE NOT A CRACKER……PLEASE FORGET I’M AN OREO……
Sorry….I just could not pass that up…..Scuse’……
thats funny, thats exactly how we see your support of Hillary and grasping at nonsense like this article.
Why would he go campaign in the last few days of a tight race in the place where he has 90% support? Do you think they need some handholding because they may be bullied into voting against their interests for HRC?
No and its part of the bigger picture here - he’s just flat out run a much better campaign than her, otherwise she would have won months ago with her massive early lead.
But she didn’t and thats the only real example of leadership you have between the two.
You can keep making excuses all the way to November and in the meantime do everything you can to support McCain in the hopes that you will appear to have been right and can gloat, except McCain will likely lose to Obama anyway, so you can just nitpick for the next 8 years.
I’m rather curious about that win in November.
32 Percent of Clinton’s supporters won’t vote for him.
No Republican is going to cross over to vote for him.
Florida? Michigan? McCain.
So, where do you figure his support is going to come from dude?
Well, dude, despite your assertions to the contrary, he’s ahead of McCain in some polls and behind in others. While I have no doubt that you won’t vote for him, I suspect the vast majority of that 32% is going to come to its senses and realize that it makes more sense to have a dem in office than McCain.
Frankly your alleged 32% are like suicide bombers. You’ll kill yourselves to make a stupid point.
As for “no republican” crossing over, thats just stupid. He’s ahead of HRC with both independents and republicans, so he’ll do better with them than she would. Florida is probably a toss up either way (HRC or Obama), so it probably doesn’t make a difference and if you look here:
http://www.electoral-vote.com/
right now Obama beats McCain in Michigan but HRC loses to McCain in Michigan.
So much for your Michigan point, dude.
As usual, the facts just don’t support your opinions but please continue to be unreasonable and irrational.
“I suspect the vast majority of that 32% is going to come to its senses and realize that it makes more sense to have a dem in office than McCain.”
At this point in 2000, some 40% of McCain supporters claimed they would be voting for Gore in November. Right.
To Whomever wrote this: You weren’t around for McGovern were you. The same type of people supported him. In fact, some of the SAME old hippies are here today supporting Obama. I suspect that 32% will grow. I submit that, in addition to that 32%, you add on Ohio, Florida, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. They are what is known as “swing states” and the AAs, college kids and radicals won’t carry them. I also submit you add Italians, of which I am one—and I can tell you they despise him. Then add gays and lesbians, senior citizens who recognize bull when they see it, Latinos who have been voting republican for the last two elections, but would have changed their minds if Hillary were the nominee.
Barack Obama will never be president. And you are also wrong about us coming around to our “senses”. We already have. We in the 32% know that four dead years of McCain is far better than a sexist president with an interesting association with Pakistan, where they set women on fire. Most of us have the battle scars to prove our strong beliefs.
And, Rezko, Alsammarae, Khalidi, Brezinski, the election cold call center in Gaza City, the Paskistani money bundlers, and the Hamas endorsement haven’t even been swiftboated yet. By the time, this is over, I predict Obama will outdo McGovern in the party embarrassment department.
While I was technically here for the McGovern/Nixon election, I wasn’t really here. You basically have to be over 50 to remember that campaign, so really those supporters, for the most part, are likely supporting Hillary, although I really have no idea on that one.
What exactly are you submitting about OH, FL, MI and PA? I showed you a link to the latest polling data in those states and its close in all w/ Obama leading in MI whereas HRC is losing there. What do you have? A feeling? A list of states and groups with nothing to back it up?
But you speak for all Italians so thats that.
McGovern lost 520 to 17. You think Obama will do worse? I’ll take that bet. How much? Your irrational hyperbole is tiresome.
As for your little list of associates and ideas that will “tank” Obama in the GE, you all seem to be ignoring the fact that HRC’s list is about 10x that one. She is much, much easier to “swiftboat” and the superdelegates know this.
The polls have been wrong this election cycle. Don’t rely on them for proof of your hypothesis that Obama can win. He has blocked the revote in Florida and Michigan. Don’t you think the Republicans will use that against him? That is not democracy. He won by winning caucuses….what a joke. 3300 people voted in the Maine caucus….Most were students who weren’t even native Mainers and intiminated locals as this Obama gang did in all the caucuses. By the way, how does 3300 represent one and a half million Mainers? Unfortunately, the Hillary campaign gets accused of being racist every time they criticise Obama. I don’t think the 527’s of the Republican party will care. Obama has no experience and lacks good judgement. The only judgement he is basing his success on is a speech against the Iraq war. He never voted in the senate. His real judgement shows up by the friends and mentors he associates himself with. I for one see Obama as a cult figure. We had one already we can’t risk electing another. Students are looking for a cult leader and the liberals are looking for a black president. But hard working experienced voters are looking for someone who can get things done. We know that Hillary is the best person for that job. The week democrats who are caving in will destroy the party I used to respesct. The democratic party can count me as two vote losses, one by not voting for Obama, and one for voting for McCain. I think McCain has better judgement of getting us out of Iraq than Obama has. Obama will misread the leaders of mideast countries just as he has misread Rev. Wright, Farrakan, Rezko, Bill Ayers, & ets.
Barack Obama will not even win the state of Massachusetts, one of the most liberal states in the nation, because that state has already been exposed to the false change that Obama surrogate and compatriot Patrick Deval has given them. considering that Deval has only been in office since November 2006, that should be a concern of everyone.
Both Obama and Deval parrot the same bullsh!t. Massachusetts knows what they got when they voted for Deval, and they damn well know that this is not what they want for the United States. Polls show that Massachusetts will go to John McCain if Barack is the Democratic nominee.
Dare we call the people of Massachusetts racists because they won’t support a black candidate for the presidency? The obviously aren’t racists. I’ll refer to them as patriots for warning the rest of America what we will be in for if Barack becomes our next president.
the election cold call center in Gaza City
LOLOLOL!! Alert the media.
I’m more interested in the terrorists in this story…you know the ones that Hillary claims she would nuke Iran to defend?
Who defends the US envoy?
Whatever you’re smoking is failing you on a number of levels.
You can do a quick poll here. 100% of the people here who are not trolls won’t support him.
If you think that Republicans are going to support a guy that believes in partial birth abortion and says that babies are a punishment, they aren’t Republicans.
You think Reverand Wright and Bill Ayers and Rezko look shady? The 527’s funded by the right haven’t even fully locked and loaded.
By February, Barky will be looking for a college in Canada that wants a guest lecturer on the US Constitution.
I’m starting to understand how you think - if something is true in your tiny little world, it is true everywhere, even when it isn’t.
So what does that 100% actually represent? 50 people? Maybe 100? That should pretty much turn the entire election.
I’ll stick by the polls on that point rather than your silly blanket assertion. You do understand that not every Republican agrees with every single point supported by the Republican party, right? Or votes solely on that issue?
“Frankly your alleged 32% are like suicide bombers…”
So glad an Obama supporter used this metaphor. It describes all of you succintly.
But more important, this Hillary supporter in that 32% will stand firm based on what the Democratic Party has done yet again, and I will not support them in their continued insanity. My heels are dug in and I’m prepared to tough out 4 more years of Repubs.
Obama will have to
WIN WITHOUT ME!!!
Yeah, funny they mention that huh? Given his bundlers with the middle eastern citizenships.
Suicide would be voting for a man with suspiciously affectionate ties to Pakistan, where they set women on fire just for the hell of it. He will NEVER get my vote.
Your ignorance is unbelievable. I’m not sure what you are talking about exactly but while I’m sure Pakistan doesn’t have the best human rights record, repeatedly referring to it as a place “where they set women on fire just for the hell of it” (as if there was a good reason to set a woman on fire? what?) is divisive, stupid and insulting.
Thats like referring to the US as a place where blacks get shot by the cops at their bachelor parties. While there is a factually correct incident in there, its dumb and ignorant to attribute one incident to an entire country.
But thats the type of campaigning and fallacious fear-mongering we expect from HRC supporters.
Vote for McCain, we’ll win without you and you can continue to be bitter and angry and cling to Pakistan or whatever it is you cling too.
Obama would have to WIN WITHOUT ME TOO.
Mimi,
We will win without you. See how much your support and the six other AA’s you keep bringing has helped Hillary?
Erm, she’s still losing.
Better campaign??!! Right… stacking caucus, slanderous and dishonest ads, MSM bullhorning bullshit for him… Threatening violence, name calling, finger flipping… Yeah… great technique! Real classy guy…
Remember “WE NEED MORE WHITE PEOPLE!!!”? The cry now is WE NEED MORE CAUCUSES!
Too bad a bunch of savage kids on a bus won’t be able to get anywhere near the polls in November. And lucky those past races can’t be re-run now that America knows Barry more…But not to worry. They will always have November…
What is it with all of these trolls we get that have these generic-sounding names: Jeff. Kevin. Jason. Bob. Allison?? It reminds me of when you have to call for customer service and you get India, and it’s someone with a thick accent you can barely make out the words, except their name: Steve.
Do they tell these call center trolls to use American sounding names when they come here? It’s creepy. Have you noticed? I mean.. I have no doubt that Obama’s campaign is outsourcing their troll work.
What would you like my name to be? I was born in the 70s, Jason was the 3rd most popular name, I’m sorry my parents weren’t more creative.
Okay, the truth: they give us a list of names to choose from and I just picked one. I’m actually a girl, but I figured it would be easier to hide behind a guy’s name.
Since you’re being truthful, “Kevin,” so will I! We get paid $3 an hour, this is the best we can do. I’ve been fired from every job I’ve had since high school (7) and it’s only been a year. My parents would have kicked me out of the house if I didn’t get a job, so give me a break, will ya? I’ve long since changed my mind about Obama, but I’ve got to keep this stinking job!
Ok, name stealing is low, even for you guys, but I’ll admi that was funny.
Cat,
The senator from Punjab would know all about that.
“Why would he go campaign in the last few days of a tight race in the place where he has 90% support?”
You keep making sense like this, you’re likely to get banned…
Jeff:
Have you ever been banned and yet you NEVER make any sense …
No, but the kid spells and punctuates correctly, giving rise to my suspicions that he’s either reasonably bright or older ‘n dirt, like me.
Logical framing isn’t too awful, for an Obamabot. Tendency to approach ad hominem attacks, but backs off just in time. Tends to hit shallow-running bait. Too bad he’s not a Republican.
B-, C+, mostly based on missing a good shot on Moore’s Law a few exchanges back. Otherwise, a solid B.

I guess when you take your support for granted….You would’nt….
Jeff you just prooved the point…..Never took Logic did you…..
No one I know will vote for Obama. Entire families are totally against his shifty terrorist ways. No way he can beat McCain. He is a dangerous man. People know that except his supporters.
Oh, heck, I made excuses for this guy when we were talking about the black media and him. Now, I don’t know what to say anymore, only what the prof said in the article. He doesn’t want to be seen and maybe he is afraid he is going to loose the white vote big.
Either way, as Uppity said to me the other day, a big “thank you” add at a black media outlet would have done the job.
However, I still think the AA vote will go big for him again in NC.
PS: Hi, everybody. What are you guys recommending to keep it together till tomorrow when the polls close? Any magic trick? … lol
My daughter and I are going to Mass….We shall employ every pagan ritual at our disposal….( why it’s fun to be catholic )…We will invoke the intercession of the Virgin Mary and personally PETITION THE POPE….chuckle….And then I will begin to work on my voodoo…..
Loool, if we are going down that road, I’m going to pray for the revival of Sumerian deities, many of them powerful female goddesses. But since they are very ancient (3000 BC) then maybe I will say a prayer in front of my icons (I have a few home.) I don’t know about catholic households, but in the Orthodox Christianity, in our houses, icons have a special place.
There is always yoga, too :).
All I can say is The Virgin Mary aint’ no slouch…..chuckle…..
Voodoo is Voodoo…..Choose your own….so to speak….chuckle….
Mother Mary NEVER says no if you pray to her..LOL
Alittle humble prayer might be more beneficial…
When I go to Mass…..Humble prayer is a given…..

UPPITY — I am going to light my candle and pray.
I noticed that pattern since he didn’t attend the State of the Union then his followers chastised Tavis Smiley for commenting about it.
Unfortunately, it will be late for the Black electorate to realize that Sen Obama is only USING THEM to further his political ambition.
Unlike Pres Clinton, who since the start of his presidency thought about the plight of the black people. An example of this continuing support for the black people is Katrina fund. President Clinton used his clout to raise money from companies and millionaires/billionaires not only from this country but from other countries as well. The objective was to request donations from thousands of Americans and hundreds of companies all over the world to help the states of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana to rebuild and recover.
Unfortunately the majority of the black people/leaders turned their back on him for an unknown/inexperienced, sweet talking candidate whose only quality is being BLACK.
Poll trend lines look good. Hill is holding steady in IN and rising rapidly in NC. Injecting fear into this election along with the Wright albatross have taken their toll.
Fear = Common Sense…..No ?

jeff, they have a picture of your girlfriend over at stopobama.com pardon me, i have to go now, suddenly i am nauseated. but you go there, i am sure it will turn you on.
hey Jeff
I realize many of Obama’s supporters fail to understand the impact MANNERS have on voters but let me enlighten you. Barack left PA EARLY he failed to give his concession speech or thank his supporters. Now he fails to go to the key black neighborhoods he assumes he already has their vote locked up? He is an arrogant fool. The reason he SHOULD go there is again MANNERS. He should go to REWARD THEM for their support and thank them for their service. Same reason he should have shown up at MLK’s anniversary, same reason he should have shown up in NO. Hillary showed up in NO even though she LOST THERE to THANK NO and support them. She showed UP to honor MLK. MANNERS MATTER.
Obama will lose both NC and IN is my prediction. Put that arugula in your salad and eat it, PLEASE.
“Barack left PA EARLY he failed to give his concession speech or thank his supporters.”
I’m just glad Hillary NEVER left a state she’d just lost early…
(cue cricket sounds).
Or failed to thank her supporters.
(cue cricket sounds).
Or failed to give a concession speech.
(cue cricket sounds).
“The reason he SHOULD go there is again MANNERS. He should go to REWARD THEM for their support and thank them for their service.”
Since you’ve obviously got a real winning strategy mapped out for Obama’s campaign, please share with us the rest! Should he camp out at college campuses and sip lattes while chewing over econ theory with upper-class, highly educated whites? That’s another constituency he owes, right. Yes, I’m sure everyone at No Quarter would be thrilled if Barack spent the next 36 hrs making his base feel really “rewarded”, while chipping off none of the white vote he needs to win. And that’s why he’s doing the exact opposite.
Jeff posts again
(cue cricket sounds)
Trolls here are getting desperate and seeking out new strategy for their free falling candidate.
They’re trying to get in all the hours they can to pad this week’s paycheck before the Obamatrain runs totally off the rails.
I realize many of Obama’s supporters fail to understand the impact MANNERS have on voters
This must be why he thanked and said he was looking foward to working with Evan Bayh yesterday.
He didn’t go anywhere near the AA sections of Philly. And while 92% of the Philly AA vote went to him, the turnout was very disappointing. He seems to only use his AA background as a club to beat TWP voters with…and he seems only to listen to his white backers….I mean except for his church, the actual AA community doesn’t see to be on his radar.
Here is what is so funny about your comment…..I lived in Philly….
With the exception of South Philly ( Italian )….and GermanTown ( German/Polish etc…)…..The rest of the city is predominantly AA…..This means that in order to avoid AA neighborhoods Obama would spend about 20 minutes in a roughly 12 sq. block radius…..Hmmmmm……..I guess he went to where the CRACKERS are……THE SUBURBS…….
Well I’m in Philly’s northwest section, which is white working class. But basically you are correct LOL! he wasn’t here that much at all.
Lillytoo…..I went to U of Penn….I am a fighting Quaker ( that oxymoron still makes me chuckle )….I am a CRACKER from the South.
I LOVE PHILLY…..I went everywhere….My kid just won a scholarship to the University of the Arts…..I never had a problem….Obama is a Weeeeenie…..Nuff said…..
The image of a Cracker Quaker just makes this old Gator laugh.
What’s the Quaker equivalent of a Rebel Yell?
A big, “Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?”
Stop me before I start my Mexican Mormon jokes…
Another thing that bugs me about him and shows how little he cares for the “little guy” is his taking some supposed hig moral ground and not using on the ground campaign cash to the volunteers on the ground. This is a big mistake I think in light of the fact that he has made HUGE amounts of money on the backs of small contributions yet only sees fit to use them to bribe SuperD’s and flood the tv with negative ads. Using cash and campaign goodies ( signs, hats, mugs, pins) are the only in hand “reward” volunteers get for working REALLY hard for him! Busting butt trying to get out the vote is hard WORK and to tell the people on the ground they don’t do that anymore this is the “new” politics justs shows how out of touch he is with the average jane and joe out there fighting for him.
How about those rallies (North Carolina the latest) where Obama staff members sit all the white people behind him as props? Steering the black people away so they’re not visible on camera… it must really warm the heart of his black supporters.
Or MO’s “get me some more white people” :D.
Well, if there is not a huge AA vote turnout in NC … than maybe …
“Or MO’s “get me some more white people” :D.”
Except she didn’t say that–some dumb staffer did.
I feel sad for his AA supporters (except those that booed Easley at the JJ Dinner Saturday night). This is a big deal for them. That said, it really shouldn’t be just identity politics - I certainly wouldn’t vote for Pelosi for President.
OT: SUSA polls today: Indiana 54% Clinton, 42% Obama.
Didn’t he say Indiana is a tie breaker?
He is not even campaigning in Indiana today at all. Hillary is NC and will go to IN later today.
Good question. We need to see the in-context quote if so. That would be a solid argument that he has to go, and it would be by his own words that he loves so much to call an address made to cover his ass a “historic speech.” His vanity has no bounds so we may as well take his “historic” words and write him into the history book of losers and wannabes using his own words.
From First Read this morning:
On the trail: Elsewhere, Clinton begins her day in North Carolina (in Greenville) and then travels to Indiana (hitting Merrillville, New Albany, and Evansville); Obama begins his day in Evansville, IN, then goes to North Carolina (for a discussion with workers in Durham) and then returns to Indiana (for a rally in Indianapolis; and Michelle Obama — like Bill Clinton — is in North Carolina.
Y’all better hurry, you only have a few more hours to trash Obama here in NC.
Is Obama afraid that he isn’t black enough to go into places like Phillie? Or is he just afraid. I have never seen him with a group of young AA males.
“Is Obama afraid that he isn’t black enough to go into places like Phillie? Or is he just afraid. I have never seen him with a group of young AA males.”
Maybe you’d be happy if he appeared in a rap video…
Oh Jeff….
No, not necessary. He showed us his moves and we got the message …
I thought it was getting close when he did his shoulder-brushing finger toss.
I remember the song Obama had on the radio after he won Iowa. It was a rap song called I GOT 99 PROBLEMS BUT THE BITCH AIN’T ONE. Real classy, not.
I think Obama’s absence from the MLK death anniversary event in Memphis and the State of Black America event “due to a scheduling conflicts” clearly illustrate he takes the black vote for granted and is desperate to hold on to what few “typical white people” voters who are left, who have not yet figured out Obama is a race-baiting fear-mongering bastard. Obama clearly has been employing a strategy of distancing himself from the black community as not to appear “too black” and to appear to be the “great uniter” or some such other bullshit. I’ll vote for the Great Pumpkin before I would vote for the “great uniter” who in reality divides peoples for his own maniacal power, ego, self-aggrandizement, greed and personal wealth. And god knows what secret political objectives Obama has, when you consider he is the evil conglomeration of Wright, Rezko, Ayers, etc.
It should be noted Hillary attended BOTH events and those events are very important to the black community. And don’t forget Obama and the purchase or lack thereof of advertising in the black media. Obama is no friend to black people or any other people for that matter. Obama only cares about Obama and his greedy lust for power. And he does indeed remind me of Hitler’s rise to power and we should expect more deeper and detailed comparisons may be forthcoming from people out in the blogosphere.
Why should he when he has the AA vote locked up? look most AA’s aren’t going to vote for Hillary when they have their own champion.
IMO its not desperation but a cold political calculus that is driving Obama. The AA community is tapped out as far as Axelrod/Obama goes, in order to survive and win they need to reach out to the “typical white person” community.
In the end it comes down to numbers.
Answer: To appear to be an empathic human being. We’ve had it with cold calculating by the numbers phony politicians who promise one thing and deliver another, like Bush and Obama.
I understand your point, but not showing up to MLK’s death anniversary shows us how pathetic he is inside, to even think about not showing up let alone actually not showing up over a few votes.
MLK was important for the whole nation, including all peoples. Obama not showing up is an insult to all peoples and tells me there’s a stone for a heart in Obama.
He ain’t presidential and folks who compare him to JFK and MLK need to reevaluate him as the record of his actions clearly and unambiguously tells an entirely different and tragic story.
Did you miss the photo of him dressed in African clothing?
“Jeff, the Democrats AREN’T going to win in November.”
At least you’re honest in your intentions. The whole point of this site is obviously to re-elect the GOP in November.
“Obama will never be president if he is endorsed and we both pretty much know he likely will be.”
Hey, I’m glad to see you’re no longer in denial.
I get really pissed at ignorance, and Jeff is a master at it, twisting words for stupid thrills!
Jeff a simple response to your continual sad defence of Obama by twisting of peoples words is that True Democrats will never support a race baiting, Terrorist loving, slumlord abiding dirty politician.
So until you can come up with reasonable answers to the facts of Obama’s actions, which is the only support of his one claim he has made as being the better POTUS by having better JUDGEMENT then shut the fuck up!
All you do is promote ignorance fuelled by stupidity in your responses to what is the truth, Obama is not fit to be POTUS and has exposed it by his lack of ability as a politician, his choice of associations and his dirty form of politics!
Fortunately many people are not fooled enough to fall for Axelrod’s Astro-turfing for of electing a POTUS. And those who feel that by not rejecting Obama based upon what has surfaced over the past few weeks shows a major lack of intelligence and duty to this country!
And so you know, your nit picking at posts shows your inability to read the whole and just manipulate the parts for your attempting as ignorant gains! So please go off somewhere and enjoy your supporting of a filthy politican who has no substance and only a trail of dirty following him! And your gloating of Obama’s vote and delegate numbers would not be as they are now had people been exposed in December as to the sort of person behind the “JUST WORDS”! So nothing you claim holds any merit, just bullshit!
Wow, the substance is breathtaking.
That whole rant contained not one single substantiated assertion–just pure ad hominem attack. This act is getting pretty stale…
That whole rant contained not one single substantiated assertion
Took the que from you Jeff, as not one of your rants EVER holds any substance at all as to why you defend Obama, so tit for tat, only this time, your ignorance has preceeded your inability again to prove one thing Obama is worthy of supporting!
But that is fine, everyone understands how your ignorance preceeds your ability to think!
“not one of your rants EVER holds any substance at all as to why you defend Obama, so tit for tat, only this time, your ignorance has preceeded your inability again to prove one thing Obama is worthy of supporting!”
Fine, I’ll take the bait.
Obama is superior to Clinton because he isn’t lying to voters that a “gas tax holiday” would somehow lower gas prices.
He was against the war from the beginning–no matter how much you spin, Hillary was for it, and he was against it.
He voted against the credit card bankruptcy bill–she voted for it.
He wants to raise the cap on the payroll tax so that those making $250,000 or more annually actually have to pay it–she’s against that.
He has the most progressive voting record in the U.S. Senate, according to the National Journal Index–she’s 18th.
He’s demonstrated a remarkable organizational ability that bodes extremely well not only for the general election, but in terms of how he would govern–HRC has run her campaign off the fucking rails, hemorraghing money, staff, leaks, supporters, superdelegates, you name it. Not one ounce of planning after Super Tuesday. This is someone we want running our federal government.
This is just a start. Notice I didn’t have to mention one ridiculous scandal in my case against Hillary, and for Obama.
Jeff, again, you miss the point!
This campaign is not about positions or votes! It is about who is a BIG BABY because they will not debate Hillary when she wants, who is a misogynist because they use the word “periodically” when refering to a menopausal 60 year old. It is about have the audacity to note the obvious — that Reagan was a transformative figure whereas Clinton, except for making the name “Lewinsky” a verb, did little to change our country.
Thanks for stopping by, B-Rob. These guys are in a fine mood today! I think we’re hitting a nerve. Maybe the latest Indiana Zogby has gotten them all hopped up.
Obama is superior to Clinton because he isn’t lying to voters that a “gas tax holiday” would somehow lower gas prices. It will and has been proven
He was against the war from the beginning–no matter how much you spin, Hillary was for it, and he was against it. Words and no votes and most words were contrary to his speech!
He voted against the credit card bankruptcy bill–she voted for it. He voted for a no ceiling credit card limit
He wants to raise the cap on the payroll tax so that those making $250,000 or more annually actually have to pay it–she’s against that. The amount is $150,000 and hers is between $200-250,000
He has the most progressive voting record in the U.S. Senate, according to the National Journal Index–she’s 18th. when he shows up and when he actually votes
He’s demonstrated a remarkable organizational ability that bodes extremely well not only for the general election, but in terms of how he would govern–HRC has run her campaign off the fucking rails, hemorraghing money, staff, leaks, supporters, superdelegates, you name it. Not one ounce of planning after Super Tuesday. This is someone we want running our federal government.He didn’t do the organizing, but nice try on that one and he has yet to show how he’d govern
This is just a start. Notice I didn’t have to mention one ridiculous scandal in my case against Hillary, and for Obama.Good for you, and yet you have still proven nothing except you left out Cheney’s energy bill Obama supported, Clinton was against and a host of other things including all the things Obama has taken credit for, which he had nothing to do with or had actually happen like his so called nuclear legislation
But that is ok, we know you are dealing with an empty suit!
“It will and has been proven”
Where? You’re saying that if the gas tax is removed, and demand rises, that the price of gas won’t rise with demand? That’s your claim?
“Words and no votes and most words were contrary to his speech!”
His “words” were the correct ones. He can’t be blamed for not having been in the U.S. Senate yet. On every measurable level, he put himself on record as against the war. Hillary, on the other hand, voted for it. I’ll take his position over hers any day of the week.
“He voted for a no ceiling credit card limit”
He voted against a 30% credit card limit, because it was too high. He did not vote “for” anything in this regard. A nay vote is a nay vote.
“The amount is $150,000 and hers is between $200-250,000″
The information I have is that his raise would skip taxpayers earning btwn $100,000 and 250,000, and would start at 250k. I also have read that she is against raising the payroll cap at all. If you opposing information, please post a link.
“He didn’t do the organizing, but nice try on that one and he has yet to show how he’d govern”
Come now. Who did, if he didn’t? He’s in charge of his campaign. That’s like saying “Bush didn’t invade Iraq–the soldiers did.” You blame him for the campaign’s mistakes, you’ve got to give him credit for its victories. Same goes for Hillary.
“Good for you, and yet you have still proven nothing except you left out Cheney’s energy bill Obama supported”
I am against his support for that energy bill. I’d like to see if you are able to bring yourself to list a single area of disagreement with Hillary Clinton.
I’m tired of this troll rhetoric. Why bother? Non of the things you say are real so stop trying to convince us. Maybe you are just trying to convince yourself. You are really misinformed and unsure and are here looking for validation? Pulleze. BHO WILL NOT get US out of IRAQ….make a note of it.
Now you can stop this nonsense of who voted for the war or against…Obama was not even in the Senate to vote..
“BHO WILL NOT get US out of IRAQ….make a note of it.”
Even though he has a specific plan to do that very thing.
“Now you can stop this nonsense of who voted for the war or against…”
No, I never will stop reminding people who voted for the greatest foreign policy disaster since Vietnam. As long as I remember the late, great Paul Wellstone, and his courageous vote against the war in the midst of a terribly difficult re-election campaign in 2002, I will never stop reminding people who was on the right side of that fight. Wellstone and Obama were. Hillary was not.
So until you can come up with reasonable answers to the facts of Obama’s actions, which is the only support of his one claim he has made as being the better POTUS by having better JUDGEMENT then shut the fuck up!
Hillary can’t handle her campaign financed or ours. Now you can shut the fuck up.
Is anyone surprised by this reprehensible behavior? And frankly, I mean that about both obamalamadingdong AND the AA voting block that just blindly says VOTE FO DA BRO! Does anyone remember Clarence Thomas? Yeah, he got the support of the AA community evem though the woman he abused and harrassed was a CHURCH GOING, CONSERVATIVE, BORN AGAIN CHRIDTIAN B-L-A-C-K WOMAN!!!! So mush like poor whites have for decades allowed the repugnantklan party to use racism to get them to vote against their OWN economic interest’s obamalamadingdong is using racism to get AA voters to vote against their OWN economic self interest. I think the most dispicable thing these self serving creatures(obamalamadingdong and Ms. dong) have done is rend the historic partnership between the Democratic Party and the AA community. At least the VOTING block of AA voters. He has accomplished what the repugnantklan have been trying to do foe DECADES. Just one more example of the exemplery JUDGEMENT of this modern day messiah!
” Hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue ”
Francois, Duc de la Rochfoucauld
I agree with you Secular…..Wen it is convient to Obama he appeals to the Cracker…..When it is convient to Obama he appeals to AA’s…..
His campaign has sought to devide us…..He is exposed with his own cynicism…..
The one thing that makes me mad about O’Baby is the escalating level of disappointment. I’ll admit, when Hill first hit the airwaves, I thought she had little chance against the men in the race. When O’Baby popped up, I was interested and even read the “Bogasity of Hope.”
But then, he started talking and I three words popped into my head: “obfuscate, inveigle and deny.” He made some comment about presidential advisors. The alarm went off as I saw visions of the dark-skinned cousin of George “Mission Accomplished” Bushwacked. I just wasn’t feeling it and the more I listened, the more disappointed I became.
O’Baby is out, Hillary is in. I don’t care what MSM says since they are already out of touch with reality. I should start the “Frat Brats for Hillary” website.
GO HILL!!
Pete
“obfuscate, inveigle and deny.”
Yep, you nailed this and I love the X-files reference.
I thought it was a law firm, like Dewey, Cheatham and Howe…
Hey, seem like black people can’t think for themselves -what’s up with that? Makes me think we are so desperate for a black leader we will embrace ANYBODY!!!
Come on black people! Don’t fall for another clarence thomas clone. How many of us have be thrown under the bus before we get it.
O’Baby ain’t the one.
Pete
This will wreck the black communities chances for a Black president in the future. Someone like Mayor Nutter-Pa. who has integrity and patriotism. BHO will NEVER be POTUS. NEVER. Blue staes will turn red before that happens.
Mayor Nutter is such a great guy. Sent him some ‘love notes’ and e-mails after Obamabots attacked him for supporting Hillary.
NOT A DAMNED BIT!!!
The NEXT time, however, there will be substantially more vetting of an AA candidate beyond the color of his/her skin before the checkbooks open.
Mayor Nutter is a great American. I would vote for him if he ran for president. He stands up for what he believes and is courageous to go against other AA. He speaks normally. No acting and no jingles and platitudes.
As a white man, I would vote for a black person, male or female. It has to be a person worthy of my vote, not some politician that spouts platitudes without substance. There are some worthy black politicians that could conceivably get my vote and many other white votes, but don’t shove this enigma candidate down the rest of the country’s throat. You are going to all look foolish when this is all said and done. One’s race is not the basis that most people will use when they choose our president in the general election.
Jeff
To me the constituency he seems to “own” are the kids like MY OWN who have the benefit of a college education and their blue collar parents subsidizing their existence! They don’t relate to the REAL issues and largely like Brack because they think he will bring some mix of hope and change that is not at all DEFINED and they are young and not at all DEFINED yet. They resent experience because they don’t have any so they excuse Barack’s not being at all qualified for the Presidency because they themselves lack in experience and are very defensive about it. All logical arguments against Barack are met with cries of racism, there is no substance! He’s all smoke and mirrors. His economic policies AND his healtcare plan as well as his energy plan that includes COAL as a central component are all things that will hurt me directly and I imagine hurt YOUR parents as well.
Think objectively and it is CLEAR that Barack has SUNK his chances of a win in Nov. due to his poor judgement and lack of character when deciding who to pick for friends and mentors.
When Obama came to Ohio he did one rally at (*gasp*) a community college which is (CAN YOU BELIEVE THE ARROGANCE?) surrounded on three sides by housing projects. In fact, the very article you cite doesn’t claim to have any actual PROOF he is avoiding “Black neighborhoods”; it merely makes the statement, then moves on from there. I will not even bother to mention the barbecue he hosted in a small all Black town in NC this weekend, dutifully reported by NPR.
You people need to make up your minds: either he is running a racially targeted, Black-centric campaign, or he is avoiding Black people and Black media. IT CAN’T BE BOTH, Morons!
With his judgemental abilities, I think Obama would wear a hooded sheet and burn crosses if he thought it would help him get elected.
Kevin…Does you Dad Pay You to write those Stupid Comments of Yours..??
Susan and Uppity are Right On Wright & Obama..
They have been exposed for what they are and Obama knows most Black Americans don’t agree with him or Wright ..
Typical Marxist Hatred for America…
“They have been exposed for what they are and Obama knows most Black Americans don’t agree with him”
Except that they’ve voted for him at record 90% levels…
He knows that even if all the blacks voted for him he still wouldnt win. He wont win anyway. Go Hillary!!!!!!!
I hate to say it but Hill can win in the GE without the black vote…
She won’t have to. A number of African Americans already support her.
I hate to say it but Hill can win in the GE without the black vote
Lou,
LOL! Wrong. I don’t mind telling you that she’s not going to be the nominee because she’s not getting the black vote now.
You just reminded of something Susan posted her last year to minimize the impact of the black vote.
You folks need to make up your minds. Does he throw white people under the bus or just black ones?
The National Parks have instituted a policy that says that any bear that has been fed by tourists must be killed to keep it from attacking future tourists. This policy should be extended to trolls. After all, bears are occasionally useful in the wild. Trolls lack this virtue.
OBAMA IS A FAKE.A USER OF ALL PEOPLE.HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT THE AFRAICAN AMERICAN,LOTINO,WHITE ANY ONE BUT HIMSELF.HE HAS A AGENDA ALRIGHT.THINKL ABOUT IT..ALL HIE TERRORIST TIES AND THE PEOPLE WHO BOMED PENGON,TRADE CENTER.OABAN SAID HE CAN’T BE HELD RESPONIBLE FOR SOME ONE HE KNEW AT EIGHT.HE WORKED WITH AYER,IN ADULT LIFE.REZO,THE IROQI BORN -LONDON BASE CAME HERE TO VISIT AND WENT TO RESZO HOUSE WAS SAID RESZO WAS HAVING A PARTY TO HONOR HIM.OBAMA AND HIS WIFE WAS SAID TO BE THERE.FRANKLY I DON’T THINK THAT HIM AND REV J WRIGHT HAVE ENDED THE RELATIONSHIP!I THINK IT’S SOMETHING THEY BOTH COOKED UP.AND HAVE TO MAKE IT LOOK REAL.AS PEOPLE WOULD SAY ON THE BLOGS.AND THEN A WEEK LATER MSNBC SAID REV J WRIGHT CAME TO THEM REQUESTING AN INTERVIEW.AND THAT’S WHEN HE SAID SOME WORDS.AND LATER AGAIN I GUESS BECAUSE WHAT HE SAID..PEOPLE TILL WAS DOWN ON OBAMA,SO REV J WRIGHT DID A GOOD ONE AND THENOBAMA WENT ON AND ACTED LIKE MAD…..I REALLY THINK IT AN ACT!BECAUSE OBAMA WANTS IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR THEIR OWN AGENDA.BEN LADDIN SAID WHAT ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO.THAT IN A VIDEO WHICH PROVE TO BE BIN LADDON.THAT WE WERE GOING TO GET HIT FROM THE EAST,WEST,NORTH SOUTH AND IN THE MIDDLE AND ARE DAYS ARE COMING.THINK ABOUT REV J WRIGHTS SPEECH.AND OBAMS WIFE..HE 1985 25 PAGE WHAT YOU CALL IT?

I think I’ll go out and buy a gun before they get banned. Afterall. I’ll need to protect my family.
When you pay all the bills and are going broke paying high gas prices, who wouldn’t want to save a crisp $20 each month this summer? Who? That’s groceries. When the bills get paid and there is nothing left for groceries because it’s going to gas on a round trip of 50 miles to go to work..20 bucks comes in handy..More people than not are in this postion across America and Hillary sees it..Doh!
She is trying to begin some relief. $20 bucks monthly savings is alot of money when you are broke. Groceries have tripled in the last six months.
Food banks across the country are EMPTY for the first time ever. That is telling. The people contibuting to them are no longer able to and more and more people need their service because they are spending on gas to get to work..How old are you? Do you live with your parents? Do you pay bills? It looks like BHO and HIS supporters are completely out of touch!!!!!!!!
Hillary has been endoresed by many economists.
Doh!
My goodness. We could save a considerable amount of trouble with anything so tiresome as an exercise in democracy since you speak for two branches of government!
Who knew?
Once again, you make no sense at all. Congratulations.
I don’t speak for two branches, Bush said he’d veto it and the house dems also said they wouldn’t support it. So they speak for themselves.
Since Senator McCain first brought up the idea, I bet that Bush would find his way to seeing it differently to support the Republican candidate, don’t you?
And Jason (Buffet, I presume?) I am getting a little tired of elected officials telling me what is a non starter … like gas tax relief and universal health care. They start to sound like entitled workers versus the elected officials they are. With Barky not doing very well in Massachusetts, Kerry and Kennedy might want to put a but more energy on sounding like they understand the will of the people versus we will not do it for the people …. ya’ think?
No, Bush already said he’d veto it, so I don’t think he’d care if McCain brought it up.
I’m glad you are getting tired of elected officials telling you what is a non-starter. Vote them out. I don’t have an issue with that.
But you need to also understand (a) what is possible right now and (b) basic economics which says this particular idea doesn’t work.
Remember, even w/ the offset to reduce the loss of tax revenues, under HRC’s plan, gas prices will NOT go down. Thats very important.
When you pay all the bills and are going broke paying high gas prices, who wouldn’t want to save a crisp $20 each month this summer? Who?
A SHORT SIGHTED IDIOT!
I have asked that question many many times on the net of Obama supporters ” do your parents support you or contribute to your support?” and not ONCE has a single one of them responded in the negative. They have no clue what the consequences of many of his policies are, number ONE being they will never get passed by the House or the Senate but they will make us all even more BROKE than we are now!
I think it’s creepy the way his followers chant at his speeches, it’s like they really are under his spell.
My parents do not support me and I support Obama.
Never mind that something like 54% of the people who have voted have voted for Obama. Do you think 54% of the electorate is supported by their parents?
Speaking of things that will never get passed by the house or senate, I give you, an increased tax on oil companies.
Do you even think before you post? At all? Even a little?
Jason– does the term, “Uppity Elitist” ring a bell? That’s the main reason for the disconnect.
People living off of the income of their investments totally GET it that every time the prime rate is lowered they have less to spend. Lower interest rates are not helping seniors who were smart enough to save for the future.
Trolls everywhere.. Damn
I was watching Morning Joe, before leaving for work. Everytime Mika said ” $30.00″ and pandering I wanted to smack her.
Maybe everyone of them should stop whining about the problem and figure a way to fix it.
The fix is to ween ourselves from dependence on oil but that is going to take years of work and its way too complicated to roll out a plan in sound bites during an election cycle.
And no, threatening to “smash OPEC” isn’t going to do it, unless she plans to nuke them too.
Patti — I watched Morning Joe, and I can empathize with what you are saying. If it helps (probably after you left for work) … Hillary was a guest, and Mika asked her the question about pandering blahblahblah. And, of course, Hillary promptly put her in her place. And, I could NOT beliee it, Mika backed down. She was complimenting Hillary for the remainder of the show. She had no other choice, Hillary basically b*tch slapped her in front of millions of viewers. Joe just smiled with delight.
