Hey Larry & Susan, etc

This video is a surprisingly good history lesson for the kooK-aid drinkers for Obambi.
Someone should promote this on the front page and force some of them to watch. (snicker)

I snagged it from another Hillary forum. But I’ve not seen it here. It’s a worthy watch even though Laura is not my favorite.

You know, the media thinks that Obama blocked Hillary from the nomination. The day after Obama’s speech about a fake “milestone”, on CNN he has become “the Democrats Obama Problem”. Now they’re talking about how he is a disaster with working class whites, and is far behind McCain in electoral votes, and is in the line of fire of the 527 attacks sure to come. Add to that the fact that so many of us will jump ship rather than vote for Obama, and CNN has a new meme: the Obama Problem. I can’t wait until it has it’s own theme music.

Like no one here predicted that.

Well, what’s the determination that Hillary should be given the nomination?

That she actually won it by the agreed-to rules? No.
That she’s favored by more Democratic voters? She was, months ago.
That she’ll be stronger in the general election? Not according to the polls.
That she’ll do better in Florida, and only Florida counts? That’s your argument. Good luck with it.

It’s from Real Clear Politics. They maintain 3-day rolling averages of all the national polls.

Your premise assumes that absolutely no one whatsoever supports Obama in Michigan. Be honest with yourself – that’s probably not true.

Not a problem.

At Obama’s inauguration, Rev. Wright can give the opening prayer. Al Sharpton can sit beside Michelle on the podium.

And and all the Chicago machine crooks, including Mayor Daley, can get cabinet positions.

Right- the “we can’t count Michigan because Obama didn’t compete there” is an argument that is beyond brain dead. It’s like a whiny fifth grader claiming that the results of a footrace shouldn’t count because he didn’t participate.

Obama chose not to put his name on the Michigan ballot. Then he told Iowa and New Hampshire audiences that he, unlike Hillary, was respecting their Sainted, Holy Right to be First. Now he wants at the very least delegates he didn’t win from Michigan.

I didn’t buy a lottery ticket, but I estimate that if I had, I would have won a million dollars. Where’s my money? It’s not fair that the winner gets all the money, I didn’t buy a ticket! Waaaahhhhhhhhh!!!

Well when you have so sillte actual government experience and so few actual votes for or against something….what do you expect.

They have to talk about something.

And since talking about his background and his half truths about his life, his bitter wife, his anti american associates his reverand his back room deals and his race-baiting strategy and his total lack of experience in dealing with issues both domestic and international is apparently off limits, what else can they talk about his speeches??

Speaking of red states, consider this magenta colored state – Virginia. John King and his Big Board are always throwing Virginia into the equation of O’s changing the map with his victories. They say he can’t win WVA, OH or KY, but he can take Virginia. Not so fast! A poll published yesterday in the Richmond Times Dispatch has Johnny Mac beating both Hillary and BO in Virginia, not by insignificant margins. I have long felt that O cannot win in Virginia despite his large primary win. They are delusional if they overlook the George Allen voters and the military voters.
