More Bad News for Michelle Obama
By Larry Johnson on May 26, 2008 at 11:07 AM in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Michelle Obama
I know for a fact that Barack and Michelle Obama would like the tape of her blasting “whitey” during a rant at Jeremiah Wright’s church to never see the light of day. They are worried, appropriately so, about the damage this tape will inflict on the Obama campaign. They can be certain of one thing–the tape will hit the blogosphere and TV land come October if Obama is the nominee.
How do I know? I have learned from someone in touch with a senior Republican over this holiday weekend that a major McCain backer has a copy of the tape in addition to the one controlled by the Karl Rove folks. McCain’s supporters are not about to cut Hillary a break. They believe that John McCain stands a better chance of beating Barack rather than Hillary. That’s why they are holding the video. They realize showing it now would likely boost support for Hillary and erode support for Obama among the Super Delegates. Simply put, McCain wants Obama.
Then there is the angry woman problem. Here’s Michelle–living in a $1.6 million dollar home, graduate of America’s most prestigious universities, and pulling a six-figure salary–and she was not proud of the United States until Barack ran for President. Know what? The average angry, bitter white person. who is clinging to God and guns and not living in a mansion, not able to afford college, and making less than $50,000 a year, does not know what her damn problem is.
Jeff Jacoby’s column yesterday in the Boston Globe adds further insight:
In an interview on ABC, Obama growled that Republicans “should lay off my wife,” and described the inoffensive Tennessee video as “detestable,” “low class,” and reflecting “a lack of decency.”
If Republicans “think that they’re going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign,” he added ominously, “they should be careful.”
Ooh, very fierce. But unless Obama is prepared to emulate Jackson – Old Hickory defended his wife’s honor by fighting duels, in one of which he killed a man – he stands no chance of putting his wife’s remarks off-limits to criticism. As long as he keeps sending her around the country to campaign on his behalf, everything she says is – and should be – fair game.
And unfortunately for Obama and his allegedly sunny politics of hope, what Mrs. Obama seems to say with grim regularity is that America is a scary, bleak, and hopeless place.
Here she is, for instance, in Wisconsin:
“Life for regular folks has gotten worse over the course of my lifetime, through Republican and Democratic administrations. It hasn’t gotten much better.”
And in South Carolina:
America is “just downright mean” and “guided by fear . . . We have become a nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day.”
Michelle needs an attitude adjustment. Americans don’t want a nattering nabob of negativism in their face for the next four years. And that will become increasingly clear as America gets to know Michelle.

she is a b***h, simple
Calling Michelle misogynist names does not help make the case for Hillary. I request that you not use that language on this site. thanks
lj
Thank you for both items, Larry.
hey larry,
what i find interesting, is how axelrod and friends, were able to paint hillary as the ’shrew’, as the nagging wife, and the overbearing mother you never wanted.
they were able to build a whole school of hate around that image of hillary, most young men and unfortunately women bought into it.
really the videos should have been about michelle, and her overbearing, school marm,
authoritarian personality.
hillary is a doll compared to that…
God, no kidding. And Hillary actually REALLY cares about other people, not just what SHE feels and wants.
Hi Larry, I am new here and thank you for this site.
Question, perhaps naive, do you think the supers and DNC know about the tape, and if they do, do they believe it exists? Or are they just ignoring it?
I concur. I have gotten more than my overdose of mysogyny this campaign to have it continue in this form. My own mother called Michelle Obama this term and I asked her, “is it any different to call her that when many rightfully object to calling Hillary that term, or you for that matter, or your mother?”….she quickly responded, “yes its different, she’s a different sort of bitch”. I’ll leave that to mom, but none the less….
my grandmother embraced that word actively. she had teeshirts, mugs, bumper stickers, and more. But call my wife, mom, or daughter those names and you’ll be pickin yourself up for it.
Quoting Spiro Agnew. Awesome!
And its perfectly fine to ask objectively McCarthyite questions, in Larry Johnson’s fantasy world, so long as the phrase bitch is not used.
Roy Cohn is smiling down on you.
You are performing a great service to our country, and you have warmed up some of my final days. Thank you.
That is not appropriate. Please stop.
I appreciate the fact that you do not like MO
but calling her a B**ch only lowers us to the
level of the obamabots. She is a very devisive
woman and it would be a travesty to have her as
our first lady. I hope more of the press will
start to take a look at her.
Well, IF she becomes first lady, all the “ugly” jokes they made about Eleanor Roosevelt can be renewed! Hope they don’t get a dog!
How could America make such a mistake? He should ask Harvard for his money back. What an IDIOT!
Speeches and speeches so many praise him for. What a crock. Is he “high” on something? He has made more mistakes in the last couple of months that was so awful and downright shameful!
I can only imagine what you look like. Next time I have the runs I’ll tell you hello.
Larry Johnson getting caught in another lie. Hey Larry, where the Whitey Tape, you huge DB? LOL.
I can’t wait to see this video. Larry, you’ve gotta get it. As I think about it I laugh, on the inside, where it counts.
thanks Larry…This intriguing little item will surely turn the tide….I just wish it could work for Hillary’s benefit…I do have a Question for Meeeechelle Obama….If you and Barry care so much for the lil’ people or as the US Govt. classifies us THE WORKING POOR…Could you spot me a few bucks…I’m short on my Utility Bill…chuckle…
** I live in Texas and gettin cut off is murder this time of year…I’ll pay you back asap….I swear !….By the way please ignore the fact that I’m a CRACKER….after all Science has proven we all came out of Africa..mkay ? **

Why do not ask Hillary? after all, if Obama is a big busness man and communist (yes, I have read it here), I am sure she is a nice, NO-big business anti-communist and would help her “white brother”
After all, why Hillary, who has more than 100 000 000 bucks,is a Senator and studied in schools for elite is not happy about her being discriminated as a woman? Or she is happy with women’s status in USA?
I can’t stand this passive aggressive pass the buck attitude.
Hillary is NOT THE ONE SAYING THIS STUFF!
Geez…
I.e. Hillary is NOT saying that she is all for poor whites? I found it is just ridiculouse when her supporters (and calling themselves names like “workingclass”) attack OTHERS for being rich, as if Hillary was wating tables to put herself through college. If Obama is rich (he is, and I am NOT for him at all), Hillary is SUPER rich. You might love her for it, but a bit of logic would be helpful here (just like to decide whether Obama is a man of big business or a communist
)
The question is, then, how do Superdelegates get wind of the existence of said tape from sources they would give enough credibility to to realize the enormity and severity of the impact such a tape will have as an October – or sooner – surprise?
Give it a rest with the man’s family already. You people are pathetic.
All of this from people who fried the Clintons every day for the past year and a half. Like we almost care what they do to Miserable Michelle.
Amen to that!
Don’t care a bit about the trails and tribulations of that b***h michelle…
[WORD CHANGED BY ADMIN -- SEE LARRY'S NOTE ABOVE]
Wish I had a dime for everytime I’ve come across the word “bitch” being used to describe Michelle Obama on this “pro-Hillary” site.
So much for the oh-so-righteous indignation about all the so-called sexism supposedly directed at the racist Hillary Clinton and her campaign. It was a running theme through her campaign, covert and otherwise, and is well-documented in the public record. Never heard Barack crying and complaining about it either. Sure pissed me off though and was the reason I finally decided I could not in good conscience, support Hillary.
I never condoned attacking Chelsea in any way and always condemned it when I saw it. As far as going after Hillary’s husband, President William Jefferson Clinton? Fair game. After all, the ever-ambitious Hillary relies on her husband’s name and connections in her own political calculations and always has.
Just as some have pointed out here, when Michelle makes political speeches, she must expect appropriate scrutiny of the speeches and her fair share of criticism. On many levels though, this site is extremely biased and often uses offensive codewords when talking about the Obamas.
It is not a neutral or credible source of information on either of these Democratic candidates.
Funny, how you’re complaining about MO being called sexist names and then you thinks it’s appropriate to call Hillary a racist. Rather convoluted thinking, and hypocritical to boot. A double standard at work here.
And quite frankly, to call someone else a racist when your candidate gets + 90% of the black vote, simply because of your candidate’s race, is not the brightest strategy. Actually, I would say the shoe is on the other foot and Obama and his supporters are the real racists in this campaign. Another example of hypocrisy.
think, not thinks.
Amen. I am so sick of the Clintons being called racists. They are probably the most fair minded people in politics when it comes to race and gender. And the remark about 90% of the AAs voting for BO because of his color is spot on.
I don’t remember Hillary telling the world that “if she can’t take care of her own house, then how can she take care of the Whte House”.
You guys are something else, really.
Knock it off. Didn’t you ever learn not to call people names?
Michelle Obama is not a bitch.
She’s just an incredibly bitter individual.
The PC term might be, “civility challenged,” eh?
Since the dumbing down of America started and the government THREW money at anyone with 2 X chromosomes for Education, I have, in 5 or so years in Higher ED administartion, seen between 50 and 100 angry black women just like
Winnie Mandela…er, Michelle Obama.Their complaints are so similar and their tones and attitudes so congruent that they might all be reading from the same script.
In other words, I have seen her kind often in the last 25 years. And they are ugly – acting people.
You should have to deal with these types in the workplace! They are angry, petulant, and refuse to learn anything. Any form of instruction is “disrespecting” them. They could care less about doing a good job and are always and forever setting employers up for lawsuits. Those angry kids that took up all of your teachers time in school? They don’t change at all once they “grow-up.” BO wants them all to get big raises ASAP.
Tell me about, can’t stand those type of people.
Grow up Bobby! The GOP will trash him with it.
You want a first lady who rants about whitey, go ahead and vote for him.
We’re ready for an AA president. But most of America is not ready for that type.
Nor should we be.
I’m a Democrat, and a Hillary supporter, but last night when I watched the PBS Memorial Day concert, I kept thinking that Colin Powell would make a great president—not to mention a much better role model than the Obamas for young AAs. If Obama is going to be the Democratic nominee, I wish that McCain could get Powell as a running mate.
Disclaimer especillaly for this blog – NO, I AM NOT FOR OBAMA, HE IS NO BETTER THAN CLINTON
Yes, a role model, sure, esp. by his UN performance about Saddam’s WMD.
Yes, a role model, sure, esp. by his UN performance about Saddam’s WMD.
Oy, not the old WMD argument again. Dude, I have a Stars and Stripes (sent to me by my husband in Iraq when he was there)around here dated from 2004 where the US ARMY proclaims NO WMD’s. Powell came out and said that the UN speech was one of the biggest mistakes of his life. I use to admire powell, but as a military family member, I can’t forgive him for not fighting harder to keep us out of Iraq. My family and scores of others are paying the price for Powell not having a stronger spine.
Colin Powell? He lied to the U.N. about weapons of mass destruction. NO WAY! He lost all credibility with me.
If lying before the United Nations is a good role model, well then I don’t know what to say. Powell is really toast–the only man who could have stopped the Iraq war and he caved and lied. Not a role model I want for my kids.
Gee, if only he hadn’t lied at the U.N.
Powell?
Gosh, if he only would of done his duty to his country, as he was trained to do, and told the truth about Obama, IL and Washington.
I wonder how much money HE made…
Colon Bowel was involved in the cover-up of the Mai Lei massacre — of US troops who deliberately murdered Vietnamese civilians.
For this actions in the cover-up — he should never be considered as Presidential material.
Have you been paying any attention? Powell has been advising Obama and has said many positive things about him. He may even endorse him.
Here, he talks about his he is excited by Obama’s campaign and impressed with him.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tavis-smiley/gen-colin-powell-on-the-_b_80353.html
And one of the reasons Powell didn’t run is because his wife was worried about his safety and the kind of personal attacks this site specializes in.
Have any of you actually seen Michelle Obama speak in person? I have, and the picture painted here is incredibly distorted.
She is a better, more inspiring, and more positive speaker than he is.
You just take comments out of context and make ad-hominem attacks. You’d be rightly outraged if Obama suppoters used this kind of sexist language about Senator Clinton.
sorry, but michelle is just words. powell is still a liar, so what if he’s excited about Obama….you know, birds of a feather do stick together.
thats how the obamas have made it–use language and style to bamboozle americans.
Colin Powell said he admired how he ran his campaign. Of course we all did until we found out where his massive amounts of money is actually coming from and all the terrorists that suport him and his campaign as well
“You’d be rightly outraged if Obama suppoters used this kind of sexist language about Senator Clinton.”
Dude you guys already are!
I second that emotion! Michael Nutter would make an excellent candidate for Prez. There are many other “credible” candidates that come to mind. BO is NOT one of them.
Once upon a time, over a year ago, I was very open to BO. But, when he and his surrogates began the Hillary/Bill –”you’re a racist” bashing 24/7, and other disgusting maneuvers taken straight out of the Neo-con Talking Points, he became completely intolerable to me. Add to that, his inexperience, blind ambition, race-card shenanigans, and terrorist-loving, Rev. Wright I-hate-America friends — his inability to be prez. became vastly apparent.
I am AA…and with you guys all the way….Give us someone we can be proud of.
This is what gets my goat about this Obama mess.
He wants to be the FIRST African American President! What?
How about we get a REAL African American President! I’m sure there were many great candidates before Obama’s dad decided to take a vacation in the US and bang a white chick.
You people?
Robert T. -
You’re a terrorist supporter. The b***h that is MEchelle is an attorney, not a librarian. [WORD CHANGED BY ADMIN -- SEE LARRY'S NOTE ABOVE -- I DO HOWEVER LOVE THE CHANGE IN THE SPELLING OF HER NAME!]
She put her America hating self on prominent display all over the nation – even toting the kiddies to try and con the voters into believing that they aren’t out to destroy America.
MEchelle works at Chicago Hosp. turning away the sick and injured. Real maternal stuff there.
She and her hubby oppose Universal Health Care – what if millions are left to suffer so long as the self-serving Oblamers get theirs?
They attend a Black Liberation Church (unity?) and announce his candidacy for Senate in the living room of terrorists Ayers and Dohrn.
MEchelle worked with Dohrn, who claimed credit for trying to kill an innocent 9 year old.
Take your Malcom X poster and stick it up your ass Robert T.

so much for Larry asking to NOT call a woman by four-letter words. They only repeat it in full.
So much for women-friendly blog LOL
Lidia–actually it’s a 5-letter word that was used. And, it is unacceptable. However, one person’s usage of that word are not and will not ever be condoned by LJ or most others on this blog. With that said… if you are sincerely appalled at misogynistic, sexist behavior and language, then you should stop the LOL! and move on to the gazillion other blogs where Hillary is ripped to shreds 24/7. There are plenty vulgarities, misogynistic, hateful, slime-bucket verbage at places like DU, DailyK, HuffPo, t name a few. Perhaps, you should take that high-minded, holier-than-thou attitude off to one of those places and give them some of your unsolicited advice. I’m sure they’d love to hear from the female perspective.
I have NO time to teach ALL USA dems how to be polite to their OWN people – after all, I am NOT from USA and I am NOT a dem. But I counted MORE than one person’s usage and it WAS condoned, sorry.
Seriously. Stop calling her a bitch. It’s inappropriate.
where were you buddy when bill and chelsea were being victimized by the obama campign and media? oh that’s right, it only counts when it is being done to obama. boring!
how interesting that you find the above comment “pathetic” — you’ve probably never heard of the word “empathy” either
we’ve learned all about ‘empathy’ from obamas ‘true believers’, fortunately, we have rejected it, its only for elitists and friends.
true empathy is for the needy, not the rich. we will fight for the poor and working class, and those americans who really need a ‘hand up’.
Well I don’t see anyone from Obama’s camp not attacking Bill and insulting Chelsey…Obama and little fascists like you Rob T are HYPOCRITES !
hmmmmmmmmm
you guys thought it was pertinent when you were always talking about bill and chelsea, alright, fair enough, thats politics, your whole life is an open book.
michelle obama=important scrutiny
(it is the highest office they are applying for after all, president and first lady…
I agree, sunshine is very important in helping to keep the thing clean, Americans should have some idea of the people they vote for, the last thing we need is even MORE IL in Washington…
LOL
They aren’t entitled, and elections are not formalities.
YOU are pathetic.
SHE’s a shrill for Obama.
SHE made herself part of the election process.
SHE opened herself to vetting.
SHE is Obama’s chief advisor.
SHE GETS VETTED just like he does.
Deal with it, junior.
Hey…Robert T….you give it a rest!!!!!!…you and the Obamakins opened this can of worms…all’s fair in politics as she, MsMichelle, is about to find out…what is good for the goose, is good for the gander….
Carry on Class!
Hillary beats McCain. That’s clear in all the really telling measurements now. So, there’s no way they want to run against Hillary now that there’s a shot at getting McCain in.
Until lately, I think they would have helped her because she’s more palatable.
Not now. They can see that they will win the White House.
And us Hill supporters will gladly help him get there if BO is the nominee. Patriotism first, party after!
Larry I love you! How do we make the superdelegates aware of this???? Ideas anyone? Larry you know people…this is urgent. The DNC NEEDS to be aware of this information NOW!
They already know. It should be fairly obvious to everyone by now that the DNC wants to lose so they can continue to blame the GOP for the mountain of shit that is headed our way.
In an election that the dems could not lose, they find a way.
You could be right on that one. They seem to be fairly chicken.
I hold similar suspicions to Scott’s.
I hate to think that but it is becoming more obvious that the DNC wants to lose. I know McCaskill is married to a republican. Arianna and Kos are “former” neo cons. McCain was Kerry’s first choice for vp. Who else in the DNC “leadership” would benefit by helping the republicans win?
They are all making money. No one wants to investigate big oil or wall street or the hospitals … that is why they are dumping so much money into the BO campaign. Forget “China” being the banker. Its a heck of a lot closer than that. They want to control who gets investigated and frog marched …. follow the money.
Months ago, I used to joke about how the Democrats should “take a pass” this GE, and let the Repubs clean up their own mess.
I didn’t REALLY think they’d DO that!
Do we have any doubt the DNC has a copy of that tape as well?
If they do, we should write to SD to demand they see it…
Larry, do you know for a fact if the DNC or the Obama campaign has a copy?
Let’s get a court order for a police search
Uh…an the underlying cause for this would be?
A crime (yielding a Warrant) or a Civil Action (yielding a Subpoena)?
Expecting Law Enforcement and/or the Executive Branch to do one’s dirty work is pretty much a Republican Core Value.
(see: “Watergate”)
Andy, BO’s camp doesn’t need a tape ’cause they exactly what is on the tape. BO knows about it because he has been witness to what has purportedly said. The SD’s have heard the scuttlebutt…
This a freight train that even Casey Jones can’t stop.
If BO and his MO don’t know about the political version of the Miranda rights they are about to find out the hard way.
Just saw a “lead out” in on Fox about Ayers and his wife…in relation to BO.
BO does not have a leg to stand on if he thinks the Tennessee production shows “a lack of decency.”
I agree with Mr. Johnson, that one may have a personal view about MO but calling her what her husband thinks she is is not helpful to Senator Clinton. Yeah I know I wondered were the leash was for BO, guilty as charged.
The real damage is the second tape of “BO controversial” that Mr. Johnson alluded to. Larry used the word ‘coniption’ which I thought I would never hear in a political context, but “controversial” is being kind.
To all sevice members past and present God Bless and thank you for your service.
Obama has been quoted as saying “…Tennessee…lacks decency…”
Sure to win those votes in Apppalacians that he already lost to Hillary with.
just like Mr. Murder has been quoted saying “win those votes in [Appalachia]…Hillary”
These two (Obama and Michelle) are gonna flush America down the toilet. This past weekend, we witnessed once again America’s might and leadership in space science, which as you know often leads to humanistic developments in other areas (smoke alarms, pace makers, food storage, etc). Yet, Barrack and his angry bitter wench are willing to set aside these thrilling breakthroughs for myopic Marxist ideals.
Watch out, Whitey. Michelle and Obama are morally bankrupt and intellectually lazy. If it were up to them we would still be picking lice off each other’s body in the name of equality and justice. They are not driven by lofty visions, but by the plagiarized reasoning of mental midgets.
Is that a parody troll? Some horrid imagery you try to extoll, a thinly veiled attempt to discredit the conversation.
He is absolutely right that BO wants to stop space programs. They amount to less than 1.5 percent of the budget … it makes no sense. He is no JFK or RFK when it comes to lofty thinking …
If it is an attempt to make the arguments against Obama look absurd, he’s failing.
With those two, already a self parody, it’s the truth, he’s proving the opposition argument, perhaps inadvertently.
He’s corrupt, he deals with terrorists, some of whom murder his own countrymen.
Does it get much worse?
To anyone growing up in Chicago, this is not a surprise, the entitlement of corruption spread to the electoral process, what is a surprise is the obtuse notion no one will care.
Off topic, but I just wanted to send out a Memorial Day wave to everyone. Taylor Marsh posted a lovely you-tube tribute that’s too good to miss.

Here is a message from the “Godfather”.
Very Nice, Thank you!
If Bill Clinton is fair game then so is Michelle.
I was just reading a piece by Jonah Goldberg over at RCP. He is advocating a unity ticket where McCain picks a democrat as VP.
There is only one Unity ticket that can run away with this election
McCain/Clinton 08
Lets save our country!!!!
Like Lieberman? I say no.
i don’t want libermann that close to the wh period. now if he comes up with someone else, i’ll look at it. but holy joe! no way no time no how!
I saw one of his short-list guys…..is it Crist?
Anyway, the governor of Florida.
He’s super-attractive….a true silver-haired foxy guy. I pictured women of a certain age melting all over the country.
And his rhetorical skills? Omigod….the man is GOOD!
By the end of his speech, I had forgotten entirely that the Republicans were actually responsible for the FL Dem problem. I did, indeed, picture Dean slinking around Washington in a trench coat, stealing votes from old ladies and putting kids out on the street.
LOL*….
He would be a fabulous running mate. Very Republican when he needs to be. Very “all male” when he needs to be. He might allow McCain to take a softer approach, which is an odd part of his politics.
He’s hot-tempered, but often more liberal. Crist is a cool cucumber, but often more conservative.
Good yin-yang.
And Christ is GAY…Not gonna happen.
Oh wow……I don’t pay attention to that stuff.
Didn’t know that.
He was terribly compelling!
He has a girlfriend. I haven’t heard he is gay and I am from Florida.
I heard he was gay. I am previously from FL. I don’t have proof though.
I like Crist. He’s much better than old JEBBY (blech) but JEBBY is 10 times better than his Old man and 100 times better than his dumb ass brother
Gads……I’m so sick of our obsession with the sexuality of politicians.
I repeat. I don’t care who they do, where they do it, or anything remotely related.
I do care about the woman in Washington who committed suicide because she serviced them and got skewered.
That gives me pain.
I am so done with the public’s concern over penis activity.
I’m OK with it…I don’t think the GOP
voters are.
Where is her “black book”…?
A lot of Biblical scholars might take issue with you on that, although GOV Charlie Crist has been rumored to be gay for years.
I am in Florida. Crist is not GAY; he currently has a girlfriend and also has a daughter in St. Petersburg. Did not marry her mother….the man is good; speaks very elequently and knows his stuff….he is very compelling; young and will help McCain tremendously. No UH UH UH here as with Obama; who could not speak his way out of a paper bag; Obama is a worse speaker the GWB
Girlfriend, child or not.
The guy is a flamer.
I have excellent Gaydar.
They say that about every good looking guy. I don’t know much about him, but he presents well.
He’s no Lindsey Graham or Liebermann.
Who came up with Elmer Fudd as a running mate for God’s sake?
Oh yeah, bloated up reptillian-eyed Al Gore!
At least the idiot wooden Kerry just stuck us with the Breck boy.
same here! Hate Lieberdouche! He’s a traitor in my eyes.
I frankly don’t care if he picks Dracula for VP. I am not voting for Obama.
C’mon! Lay off Michelle!
Pahahaha!
thanks, Concern Troll.
Awww, thanks, Concern Troll.
Now that’s sweet of you to care, Concern Troll.
Good one.
I’d even let Dracula suck my blood if it kept Obuma out of the WH.
That is a VP slot for Hillary that I would like if she is not the nominee.
The Republicans would never go for it.
I think that it’s pretty safe to say that Hillary will never run on a Republican ticket.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this…..They actually are pretty central in their thinking. I think the war may be a little sticky but they can work it all out…..I love this since we really don’t have a Democratic party anymore
I Love iT
So be it. If they hold the tape until Oct, McCain wins and has to try and clean up the R`s mess. Should make it a cake walk for Hillary in 4 years.
Yeah, Annapolis or not, I don’t think McCain is exactly Mensa material. Probably five us Babs Bush platitudes (”Why don’t these people stop complaining about the Recession and just go get jobs?”) and other little bumper sticker nuggets of political thought.
And, there’s the thing of never having held a real, private sector J-O-B, except for taking money from Charles Keating.
i really don’t care about mccain’s iq. just want to be sure no obambi.
somehow i have my doubts about obambi’s iq anyway. seems to have been a lot of propping up in his resume, including the law school part.
Let’s all ask Barack if Michelle ever made these statements at the pulpit. Have him answer, yes or no. Have a press person ask him this in an interview. If Rove or McCain has a copy, then there’s more out there also.
Look for the Rezko verdict, hopefully before June 3.
Rezko will turn states evidence and rat out Obama and the Gov to save his skin.
Read this:
http://rezkowatch.blogspot.com/2008/05/pringle-cliff-notes-barack-obama.html
Keep up the pressure, Larry. Obama is folding now.
Good link….The plot thickens.
johnnyb, I love you, who ever you are!
Johnny B , please explain….what would Rezko do to rat out Obama and the Gov? What would we learn and what would Rezko get?
Is it possible that a trial could be held against Obama and the Gov?
Johnny B …..
Could Rezko buy a not guilty verdict somehow?
if he is found not guilty, does this all go away for Obama?
There’s 24 counts against Rezko. No, he won’t be getting off.
Go to http://www.chicagotribune.com and look at the page. You will see Rezko Trial title. Go there and read all the court documents, and the gavel-to-gavel coverage of the trial.
It is Pay-to-play, as Prosecutor Fitzgerald says (he’s the guy that convicted Libby).
It really didn’t go away for Scooter, they’re all connected, ahem, at the root (LOL).
One one hurts, they ALL hurt, and so much corruption is yet to be had…
But yes, they’re looking for a way out, so I’m prepared for ANYTHING.
Percy11:
Go to this link and read the coverage from Evelyn Pringle:
http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0805/S00325.htm
Rezko bundled over $250,000 to Obama’s campaigns over the years. For what?
Don’t have a WOMAN ask him though …. he’s way too dismissive with female journlists.
Hopefully, the oncoming GOP presidential victory will provide an excuse to purge Dr. Screamer, the Brazile Nut, and the rest of that crew of losers from any positions of power in the Democratic Party.
Of course, I’m being a pessimist here and assuming that Plastic Jesus will be nominated.
Of course he will be nominated, because if he is not racism will be cried by Obama supporters. Obama supporters have been threatening the super delegates for months with emails accusing them of racism. This primary has disgusted me, and I am not one to be disgusted easily. SO happy I found this blog!!!!
Plastic Jesus will be nominated unless something really damaging on him comes out before the convention. Maybe we’ll get lucky and Rezko will start singing.
However, looking back to the suspicions Scott and I share, if indeed an economic disaster is coming during the next Administration, it might be lucky for the Democrats to lose this time.
That is what rethugs are saying as well, nobody wants to take responsibility for this mess, except…yup, you guessed it.
Senator Hillary Clinton.
Hope won’t change the price of gas or feed my family, which is changing every day.
My father used to have a plastic Jesus on the dashboard of his car.
I cannot remember if it was a bobble-head.
Is that sacrilege?
LOL*…..he is sooooooo* deserving of that description!
I feel sort of bad. Obviously, my generation should have helped our kids find a real source of spirituality.
Good God, to see them go for a politician?
Whoa!
“Dr. Screamer, the Brazile Nut..”
Love that!!!
This is exactly why I remain firm. Obama will have to:
WIN WITHOUT ME!
the super-delegates already know that obama is not electable. even this tape of michelle obama doesnt really matter. the whole thing is a bought, rigged election, its obvious. it is disgusting to watch it unfold everyday and be powerless to stop it. the dnc will finally implode and a new party must emerge. a new party free of dean, pelosi, brazille and the entire wing of the left fringe. the cancer that has taken over our party must be surgicallly removed. just try to keep in mind that something this rotten, eventually stinks so bad that it gets flushed and the air will clear.
how do we free ourselves of pelosi and reid? huh?
Well, they have to come up for reelection don’t they? We’re taking down names too. Get those resumes ready.
you CAN stop it, and make the guilty pay…vote McCAIN!
agree. look forward to seeing obambi in a heap crying and michelle standing over him screaming get him up you asshole and tell these crackers they should’ve voted for you and now you’re going to tell ayers to bomb them.
hillary can just smile and wait for 2012.
hillary or mccain. no other option.
I agree….the fix is in. And it is about money and their power. It really is disgusting to watch.
This is going to be a really ugly race no matter who wins. But the Clinton’s are used to being roughed up and they have lived–stood tall even–to tell the story.
I think the Obamas have absolutely no idea what they are in for. It’s part of the inexperience. In Chicago, everything came Obama’s way.
Some of us get criticized for bringing up family matters as they might bear on an Obama candidacy, but we are shampoo compared to what the Republicans will load onto the heads of this couple.
For A Price. And that price brings all those smarmy characters to raid the pockets of Americans.
If the republicans can get it, why can’t we. I doubt it is in Wrights church, because aren’t all the tapes out there. Maybe a private video. When you think of all Wright vitiols and MO and BO in church for 20 years, how could anyone doubt that they partook of the hate.
Larry, Susan,
what i find upsetting regarding both mccain and obama, is that the both of them are promoting a british orchestrated scheme that would take away u.s. sovereignty and amalgamate the u.s. into the british empire. the ‘league of democracies’ that both mccain, and obama are spouting is nothing more than a rehash of the 1938 british plan designed to ‘absorb’ the u.s., erase u.s. national sovereignty and carry out britain’s wars against targeted nations in africa, asia, etc..
the british ‘league of democracies’ is contained in a 1938 book by clarence streit ‘union now: a proposal for a federal union of the democracies of the north atlantic.’ streit wanted the u.s., our currency and our military to be ‘amalgamated’ with the british empire as the center of a world government that would impose its will by the use of armed force. in other words a british empire dictatorship founded on the spilling of american military blood and american treasure. streit was a leader of the milner group, they setup britain’s imperial strategy in the early 20th century, the group that was run by lord lothain – the old cecil family/rhodes organization. lord lothan, was a top strategist for the pro-nazi faction, and instructed streit to create a propaganda network inside the u.s. spawning the atlantic movement, led in the u.s. by pro-hitler financiers and headed by lord lothian inside britain. lothian made an agreement with adolf hitler in their 1935 and 1937 conversations where they set up the objectives of the proposed ‘league’ that they should stop non-white countries from getting industrial power, as hitler put it they they should ‘prevent…. their nationals from assisting in the industrializing of countries such as china and india. it is suicidal to promote the establishment in the agricultural countries of asia of manufacturing industries.’ such a league’s agenda today would include invading the sudan and former burma (myanmar) and prepping for war against russia and china. in 1999 british former pm tony blair demanded the league of democracies project be reinstated.
u.s. presidential candidate/senator john mccain called for the british-spawned league of democracies in his march 26 08 speech to a los angeles world affairs council.
obama’s foreign policy adviser anthony lake co-chaired the princeton project on national security, whose financial report renamed the league the ‘concert of democracies’ and called for wiping out u.s. national sovereignty under the world rule of force.
obama’s other foreign policy adviser ivo daadler called for the same same in his joint washington post column with neocon mccain adviser robert kagan august 6 07. both daadler and lake remain steadfast for the british scheme.
I love this blog. It is a lone voice of reason amid the hypocricy and insanity but occasionally a post has me scratching my head. This is one such post.
Attacking women, ethnic groups or other countries feeds into the ‘racist hick’ insults we (as Hillary supporters) have had levelled at us. This post also reeks of unwarranted paranoia.
Come on people. We are better than that.
NJ–it smells like a LaRouchite post to me. LaRouche has some strange fixation on the Brits. He probably thinks the Beatles were a plot to brainwash the youth of the USA.
BINGO!
I certainly could not vouch for any detail in J’s post. However, the notion of a New World Order orchestrated by British financial interests not only has been around a while but also comes from different directions. By that I mean.. basically the same story, different sources.
The source I personally give the most credence to is the late Malachi Martin, a former Jesuit priest who was involved in Vatican II before he requested a dispensation from some of his vows. He seemed to accept many of the same theories that a number of Christian fundamentalists have espoused. These individuals were concerned primarily with covert attacks on the Christian religion, and for Malachi, the Catholic Church, in particular. The political and financial aspects were remotely secondary for him.
Personally, I think in the general outline, these ideas make sense and shouldn’t be dismissed offhandedly as stupid conspiracy theories.
Something covert, if not sinister, is behind Obama’s candidacy…and I mean beyond the usual since politics is a filthy, dirty business.
These days people don’t know who to believe or what to believe. So we have to rely on our own personal experiences as often as not. My own personal experience leads me to believe that there is indeed some special hidden relationship between Great Britain and the US that has to do with finances, technology, and energy.
I would bet my life on it and I am interested to learn what anyone has to say about the subject.
So where does the eminent domain issue in Texas stand?
The North American Alliance / “free Trade Zone” is is attempting to build a superhighway cutting America in two. The conflict between Nationalism and Globalism will be the firing pin for the powder keg we are sitting on.
The control of communication infrastructure of the planet is part of this and the manifest manipulation of the MSM is plain for all to see if they wish to open their eyes.
BO is clueless.
no kidding. now the brits are evil?
Everyone knows the Beatles were, in fact, an insidious plot to undermine good old fashioned American values. Why else would Nixon try to have John Lennon deported back to his decadent and godless homeland?
NJ,
i wish that it were paranoia. until the candidates in question distance themselves from carrying the flag for a foreign power whomever the foreign power may be, americans are going to continue growing angrier and angrier. mccain is carrying the flag for two foreign powers, obama by his advisors (lake and daadler)’actions’, is carrying flag for a foreign power with their embrace for the british empire orchestrated ‘league of democracies’.
americans do not wear the military uniform of the united states to be used and abused as patsies on behalf of any foreign power, and the sooner that our politicans wake up to this fact, the better. the 1938 book by streit is ‘real’, the british who promoted and financed the debacle known as nazi germany were/are real, the same british promoters have not changed their ultimate game plan, only their propaganda and modified their methods.
this is not an attack on a foreign nation, it’s merely bringing to the surface what is there and what the politicans like both mccain and obama hope that we the voter public are not aware of.
Wait, he’s just getting warmed up. Next we’ll be reading about the NAFTA Highway!
she’s not ready for prime time, and personally I don’t care about her opinions, they wouldn’t keep me from voting for her husband, what I care about is the continuing demonization of Hillary. Of course Barack can’t protect her, any more than Bill could protect Hillary. But Barack would have a better place to sand if he hadn’t helped pile on Hillary, when the press comes for Michelle he’ll have to remember that when they came for Hillary he was laughing.
Excuse me? Barack protect Hillary? Have you forgotten who has three cajones and who only has one?
Sorry, I think that you were talking about BHO protecting MO.
NOBAMA 08
That is all.
Michelle is half right. My life has gone downhill in the last eight years. I haven’t had a decent raise since Bill Clinton left office. Healthcare expenses have skyrocketed. Groceries have gone up a lot more than the government admits, and I can barely afford to drive back and forth to work. And I have a pretty good job compared to most of my neighbors.
However, in the nineties, I got great raises, groceries were cheap, healthcare was beginning to be a problem, but nothing like it is now. And the schools were better. Bill Clinton would never have allowed the degradation of our civil liberties and would not have dragged us into an unjust and illegal war.
So, her whole Republican AND DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATIONS have caused this mess story is a FLAT OUT LIE, and she needs to shut the hell up. She and her husband need to stop dissing the best President we’ve had in fifty years. To continually say that Bill Clinton was a failure is bullshit.
Only the kids who didn’t LIVE it or remember it are falling for that shit.
I just got flipped off and beeped at by a black kid in a jacked up car with fancy huge tires & shiny rims as Mom and I drove home earlier.
NO lie! I was shocked. Especially for this area of NC. This guy was out of place. His car and his attitude looked like something maybe from out of Detroit yet his tag was NC.
So RUDE and OUTRAGEOUS is the NEW “TUDE” for OBAMABOTS EVERYWHERE? That won’t fly for long in this neck of the woods. Nawp! Not for long.
Dawnelle: First, thanks for your comment.
In California, the OB’s are just as mean. My daughter got the same treatment from a carload
of Obots. I think they see themselves as defenders of the Chosen One, and they see Hillary as ‘the past’ or like their mother that always told them to brush their teeth.
We will win in Denver. No doubt about it.
Hillary will be the nominee. There’s 11 weeks between June 3 and the Convention. Come on Larry, have your CIA friends get the tape released NOW.
I love your optimism! I think today I will choose to believe you 100 percent.
I need a good endorphin(e)? boost.
Also as far as that MO tape goes, someone said the TRUE BOTS for BO will not listen or hear so it won’t matter but where it MAY help is with some of the OLDER ELITE that were caught up in the MIST OF HOPEY LAND at first and have since realized they were BAMBOOZLED BABY!!
JMO
We even have these people in Nevada, although they usually percolate up from LA.
I refer to them as, “THREE DIMENSIONAL KLAN RECRUITING POSTERS.”
Let me tell you. its an Obama thing..My family just got back from a trip to Williamsburg and the same thing happpened to us from a car filled of White Obamabots. (they had a sticker on the car>
This site has become a toxic waste site. Larry, you’re a one-note disappointment. I used to read this blog daily – now it sort of makes me cringe.
“whitey” – oh wow – that will really cream them in the GE like no other damage Wright or Ayres could possibly do. Listen up, the Obamas are ready for it because of the likes of you.
Thanks for the heads up.
Bye. Back to Huffington you go. LOL* And that’s such a site for truth and good journalism.
And yet you can’t help but come back. I suspect Obama realizes that no matter how many trolls he sends out there is NO TURNING BACK! If Hillary is not the nominee we WILL help the republicans bury the Hamas approved mascot. Spare us the unity crap…everything about Obama’s past and present is anti-Democrat and anti-American.
I truly believe that Larry and Susan are doing their best now, at what feels like a late hour, to give the Democrats a chance to think twice about what is going on. We need to do that or we are done as a party. It is no time to be polite (although I agree that avoiding put-downs devoid of content remains a good rule of thumb.) Where we are now is beyond even the Mad Hatter’s tea party.
I give them both considerable credit for stirring up and exposing the elephants (or is it donkeys?) in the room because too few are doing it. Most are afraid of being attacked. I admire their courage.
I SO admire Susan and Larry’s courage, too. You can tell when you hit a nerve with the Obamazoids because the trolls begin raging like Olbermann on Viagra. You can’t win without us, Sweetiezoids, so leave us alone!
Olbamamann on Viagra AND Cialis …. Viagra is his problem ….
Susan stood up to the hate on the Orange Stain when she would write a Pro Hillary Diary. Susan kept coming back and posting the TRUTH. The Obamabots were and still are uncivilized, rude, sexist idiots about anything dealing with Senator Clinton.
The few times that I went to the Orange Stain and saw a diary by Susan — I would make a positive comment — but it was like fighting a cult. And that is what the Obamabots are — cult members.
Now it seems the Obamabot cultist have followed Susan home — hopefully with the new user registration the Obamabots can be controlled or identified.
Anyway Larry and Susan are to be commended for their dedication to telling the truth.
cs smith.
There’s one problem: when the Repubs reveal this tape, I’m going to be the first to SHOUT from the housetops that the DNC knew they had this tape all along and still nominated the wrong person. I’m going to make it easy for people to vote for McCain.
If you don’t lose now, you’re going to lose in Nov.
I’ll be standing on that housetop alongside ya, Mimi!
csmith
Blow off!
J — that theory is nuts.
Yeah, there was a not-terribly-popular movement in the 19th century and early 20th century for a US/UK amalgamation. The idea was even mentioned in one of the Sherlock Holmes stories. (Sherlock favored it.)
But…it’s ancient history.
Nothing like this will ever happen.
I feel pretty damned confident that Obama never gave the concept any thought.
This sounds like the sort of anti-Brit paranoia one hears from the LaRouchies. They tend to view Zbigniew Bzezinski as a pawn of Britain. Of course, they say that about anything and anyone they dislike. Zbig is indeed an evil bastard — but his focus has always been on Russia.
Agree Joe…It would never happen…and the last time the British made a serious attempt was 1812 ? Britain won’t give up the Pound…so they’re having a few adjustment issues with the EU…LOL….
McCain endorse it in a may 08 speech in los angeles, it is documented fact.
Obama’s advisors have and still endorse it, with their membership in the princeton national security group and a aug 07 washington post article.
Apparently Obama is exporting sexism. From the Toronto Star.

Neither Michelle nor Barack have many nice things to say about Democrats. Yet the self-haters in this party vote for them anyway.

“Life for regular folks has gotten worse over the course of my lifetime, through Republican and Democratic administrations. It hasn’t gotten much better.”
****
But, NOW, that her hubby is running for president, for the first time ‘in her adult life she’s really proud of her country’. What she’s saying – and we’ve known it all along (even tho’ she and the Obama sheep deny it), is that NOW – this ’special democrat’ (Barack Obama) will fix the WHOLE world’s ills; therefore, THAT is why she’s finally proud of her country. And the sad thing is, the whites – whom she hates and thinks are all racists -are the very ones helping her husband win. Too many people really are blind sheep and easily deceived.
I doubt the existence of this ‘whitey’ tape. Has anyone seen it!? When something seems too good to be true, it usually turns out to be a legend/myth.
But, let’s say for sake of arguement that it is real. I’m skeptical it would make a bit of difference especially in Oct. The people who love Obama will walk through fire for him. They won’t buy into it. They’ll say the Republicans made it up or it’s a fake. Or Obama will use his jedi mind tricks (or David Axelrod’s) to wiggle out of it by giving a speech that the main stream media will eat up and hype as the greatest thing ever spoken in the history of speech.
October is too late to realease. The MSM will not let their hero go down like this. If any video does exist, the window of impact should be very soon after Obama is crowned the nominee. That’s when the Democrats are the most vulnerable because they won’t all be united behind Obama.
From a tactical view, I think the Dems in chaos (which would come from the offical Obama nominee revealed for what he trully is after it is too late to change anything) is a better plan for the Republicans than for trying to expose Michelle Obama’s true side late in Oct. I’m sure though, that Karl Rove has it covered and it will all work out in the end somehow/someway.
Keep doubting…..and then, when it hits, note your mistake.
From Corrente yesterday:
Yes, Barack Obama now expects Bill Clinton to bring the Party back together, because he is not cpaable of doing that himself. And in return Bill Clinton gets back the love of the AA community, that Obama stole. The man has a lot of nerve.
I read that article yesterday and I haven’t stopped laughing yet.
Yes, Bill will unite the Party to make Hillary president.
RFLMAO…First I have to say…. BILL CLINTON FOR FIRST DUDE !
I was listening to a repeat of NPR’S : THE DR SHOW…and they had Cokie Roberts on ( Jeeeeezus has she proven to be disappointing…. ) and she was sayin that Ol’ Bill was sabotaging Hillary’s campaign cause if she’s elected she will be more memorable than he was…HOW STUPID AND PETTY THE MSM HAS BECOME…IF I RAN NPR I WOULD FIRE HER ASS JUST BECAUSE SHE’S SOOO STUPID !
** WHY OH WHY CAN’T FOLKS JUST ACCEPT THAT HILLARY AND BILL HAVE BEEN MARRIED A LONG TIME…WORKED OUT THEIR PROBLEMS AND HAVE A GREAT KID…AND THAT THEY LOVE THEIR COUNTRY…SHEEESH **
Cokie is one of the original Clinton haters from way back.
SO TRUE….
Yeah! No, good luck with that.
Link?
You forgot to mention – for Bill’s efforts of bringing ‘unity’ to all the voters, Obama and his lovely wife will be given the privilege of living in the White House – all this after THEY (Obamas) played the race card and twisted Hillary’s words to make her appear mean and sinister. Yes, let’s ALL gather around and support the Obamas and put them in the White House! (sarcasim, of course!)
LARRY..WAS THE ROBERT KENNEDY STORY A SET UP?????
at “talk left” they were discussing that the NYPost blog was the first place to post the Hillary /Kennedy story…and that “Politico” really ran with the story..and that today they are back tracking a little saying NYpost reported it first.
Well it tripped off a memory of something that happened Friday that o thought at the time was very weird..
In Tampa Friday..on Tampa Bay News 9 a local all day newscast ..in the afternoon the newscaster started a push for “POLITOCO WEB SITE”…The guy went on and on about Politico web site and go there if you are a political junkie that it is the best web site ..with all the national credible journalists on it..
This guy really went on and on about that web site..then finally said if you don’t go to Politico then go to Bay News 9 political web site ..
ok this whole scene really caught my eye and I was thinking at the time..this is unusual for Bay News 9 to be pushing a political web site..beside their own.
But what is weird ..here is ..Obama was here in Tampa Wednesday…
and what story broke friday afternoon on Politico..the hillary/kennedy story..
coinsidence?????
I bet not..anyone wanna bet the local news guys were told..watch Politico Friday????????
So little local news guy in Tampa tells people to start reading Politico on Friday afternoon……..
Larry …this was no coinsidence..this was a totally planted story..and lots of people were tipped off about it!!
The obamacreature needed a front page controversial story…and they set it up for a holiday weekend.
And Obama creature needs Fla Superdelegates..especially the AA ones here in the Tampa area..
please understand this was not a coinsidence..someone needs to question these Tampa Bay News 9 guys..if they were told the stroy ahead of time..and that Politico was going to break a big story Friday!!
Here is a link to the news company..

Meanwhile, Hillary seems to be having a great time in PR….letting her hair down, enjoying the sunshine. and doing what she’s so good at : CAMPAIGNING! You go girl!
Larry, we’ve been burned by the Republicans before on matters like “the tape.” What about the rumors of Kitty Dukakis burning a U.S. Flag during her salad days? Funny how no real proof ever surfaced on that, wasn’t it? Or the Swiftboat Veterinarians spinning a web of hearsay out of a whole lotta nothing? Oh, SUUUURRRRRREEEEE, they won’t release “the tape” until October! Gotta keep the spin going as long as they can until they QUIETLY DROP the whole thing and say, “BLLEEEE A BLEEEE A BLEEEE, THAT’S ALL, FOLKS!”
Remember that the hallmark of any good scam is to tell The Mark what he wants to hear–that way his own personal motivation will do most of the work for you by shutting down his critical thinking. Remember “The Honey Trap” as a tried and true method of entrapment? You just need to prepare yourself for the very real possiblility that on November 5 you could be flat on your back like Charlie Brown after Lucy jerks that football away for the umpteenth time. Hey, I’m not saying that “the tape” DOESN’T exist, just that you are dealing with some very unscrupulous people who don’t give A DAMN about what getting politically scammed will do to your credibility. You may think you’re being careful, but I don’t think you can be careful enough on something like this when the quality of the Intelligence you’re judging is filtered through a highly emotional bias.
Ask yourself this–how much do you WANT “the tape” to be proved to exist?
Good point.
Obama is corrupt, for some of us, at least, this has greater implications than whose ass will sit in the oval office.
I would agree with you except for one important point. I have two friends. One is a Democrat and one is a republican. One lives on the west coast and one lives on the east coast. They do not know each other. Yet each has spoken directly with someone who has seen the tape. That’s why i think it is real.
You missing the point. Larry is one of them. He is the one making up the rumor.
I doubt that Larry Johnson would put his credibility on the line if the tape did not exist.
If you truly believe there could not be a tape, why are you not defending MO? I believe that is because you know that MO is fully capable of a racist rant against the white race. She adheres to the black liberation philosophy. The real question is, was she so foolish as to get caught on tape. It appears that is the case.
The first time I saw her speak in public, I pegged her immediately. It wasn’t hard to envision such a hate-filled, angry woman ranting and ragging on everyone and everything in the privacy of her home or church, or with her friends. My mother-in-law does it. In public, she’s as sweet as can be, but get in the house, behind closed doors and watch out! Murder and rape didn’t happen when she was a kid, movies and television and books are for shit anymore, politicians are sneaky, manipulative and liars (except for her Messiah), the world is just a hideous place to be.
What I’m surprised about as well is if Michelle let herself get caught on tape. Although Sweetie let himself get caught putting down the “bitter, gun and religion clinging” hicks. So, who knows?
Uh OH! \Holey Duck Tape..errr Video Tape Batman!!!
Now the integrity of “one of them” Mr.Johnson, is on the line ’cause he is a messenger of the Ghost of Obama future?
Bill respectfully, snap out of it.
Be selective in what you choose to give credence, as is reflected in what your critical thinking skills will allow for, but thinking, as BO does, that the “anger” of disenfranchised Dem’s “will go away” or the RNC has not spent big $$$ on oppo research since BO made his speech at the Dem convention and they are not in control of the National Communication systems is absurd.
This video is going to cause an already unelectable candidate to be even worse off, leading to a McGovern-Mondale style map, which may already happen. These SD’s are effen rediculous, he must be paying them alot to endorse him, he is.
Don’t you all understand?
If we elect Obama, all the negativity will instantly stop and Michelle will love America again.
Yes, of course. And she’ll be folded into the mainstream like whipping up a souffle.
No question.
But…the real problems we face will go unaddressed. Obama is weak. Frankly, so is McCain as far as our problems go.
Want active government? Hillary is the only choice.
The rest?
*sigh* …..another round of avoiding.
“To continually say that Bill Clinton was a failure is bullshit.”
Hear! Hear!
I got my last decent raise under Bill Clinton too. the Democratic Party is so full of shit. That’s why I have no problem kicking them to the curb.
BILL CLINTON was the only Two Term Democratic POTUS since FDR.
We also had the best economy during his administrations…Barry Queen of Snots and his wife seemed to have done pretty darn well for themselves during his terms in office…so did AXELGOEBBLES….
F****ing A! My average annual income under The Chimp has decreased by $90K.
Yeah, that’s right, DOWN by Ninety Grand. I now make less than a City bus driver, averaged over a year.
AND: I toil in the fields of the Military-Industrial Complex.
What is i the DNC doesn’t get? Why is it they continue to foist a seriously flawed candidate on us and expect us to act like good little sheeple?
Senator Obama has some of the most seriously flawed judgement when it comes to associations of any one I’ve seen in public life. There is no way he’s going to be president. He’s the new George McGovern. I just hope McCain isn’t the new Nixon when he takes the oath of office.
Once Again, the democrats snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
This is what happens when a few special interest groups take over a party. Didn’t we learn anything from the Republicans and their evangelical meanies?

This video has to be in very few hands – maybe just one person – for you to be so confident that it won’t be released until October. And if that’s the case, then there’s a significant chance that the tape – or whatever physical media is holding the video – will be targeted for destruction.

fly..if this is a dupe sorry i am having a heck of a time posting here today!!
I’ll believe Larry Johnson, that there is such a tape. Then the crime perpetrated against the American people is that the media isn’t investigating this, or questioning about it. Because Hillary Clinton is an absolute guarantee to beat McCain if she is nominated. She’s leading him in Kentucky, for heaven’s sake. She will win 320 electoral votes. Obama could very well lose, particularly with the tape. So this is very possibly affecting who becomes President, Clinton or McCain. This matters to all of us. How can the media sit there and allow Obama to get nominated before the tape comes out?
Why isn’t the DNC investigating this? Would they rather lose with Obama than win with Clinton? Is Dean going to just cry “racism” if such a tape comes out? This is the next four years of all of our lives. All efforts should be made to get this Michelle Obama tape story out in general circulation now, not when it’s too late for us and for the country.
LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!

I hope such a tape exists.
However, tape or no tape Obama is unelectable. Despite the “hope” of his followers and fawners.
Nothing he could do between now and the GE, if he is the nominee, can “change” the fact that he, Michelle, Wright, Axelrod, et al have turned off or blown off enough of the electorate to defeat him.
Nevermind the fact that the Repub “show no mercy/to hell with PC” attack machine has not even started on him.
The DNC may be a bunch of masochistic defeat loving
fools, but HRC supporters are not. We like and support winners. Hence our adamant stance re HRC and Ol’ Bill, and our determination to never vote for Obama.
I am always amazed at how the Obama’s, the media and his campaign and supporters deny the fact that under President Bill Clinton’s administration, Americans were prospering and at peace. Shame on them. I am offended and I for one won’t let them deny the facts of the great administration of President Bill Clinton. Al Gore should have stepped up long ago and supported Hillary. I am really doubting him. As far as Michelle Obama being in the White House let along her dangerous husband, NO WAY. Hillary or McCain I don’t care how the media and Obama et al spin it. Thats a fact.
Crediting bill clinton in anyway would elevate Hillary in ther eyes.
THats why they had to tear Bill down, cast him as a racist and denigrate every aspect of his presidency.
THats the only way they can claim to be the CHange candidates who bring something new to the game.
In reality despite what he says about Reagan being transformative in ways that clinton presidency was not, Clinton’s presidency was just as transformative in different ways, but to give him credit for that would undermine their claim that only OBAMA can save us from our mean bitter small selves.
I hope he chokes an a god damned amerikkkan pretzel.
During Clinton’s adminstration if you didn’t like your job, you could go get a different one. Now you have to cling to your job with a death grip whether
you hate it or not.
Well for all the talk about Obama being the Messiah, i think it only makes sense that the republicans consider Crist for the VP slot.
THe only thing he needs to do is change his first name to Jesus and then the GOP ticket can go head to head against Barrack Hussein Messiah.
Even without the tape, Michelle is such a negative person that she is a severe liability to Obama’s candidacy.
If Obama is the nominee, I predict he carries only IL & DC.
Sad, because we have electoral gold with Hillary (Something that shocks me)
He will win more than just those two states…but i predict he wont garner over 200 electoral votes.
And i predict they will blame Clinton for it all the way.
ANd i predict Donna Brazile gets even fatter and meaner as a result.
ew nooooooo that’s mean not fatter nooooooooo!
lol
Larry you have all the Holiday Trolls over I see. R U heating up the grill nice and hot for them?
I’ll take my troll med/well please!
Polls show he barebly garners 200 EVs now.
And the truth and slime isn’t even out yet.
Definitely less than 100.
remember how they RAILED against Teresa Heinz the ONE time she told the reporter to F off?
She’s a cream puff compared to Mrs BHO Misery!
I like Theresa…Don’t care for her husband.
LARRY,
if hillary was to suspend her candidacy, if she doesnt make it in august, than in october is that too late to come back?
her name would remain on the ballot wouldnt it?
Hillary’s name wont be on the ballot if the DNC coronates Oblahblah.
THe only way she could get on the ballots is through registrating signature initiatives in each state well in advance of the process. And that would have to start immeadiately in august after the convention.
Many states may opt to use the popular vote tallies from the primaries in lue of her needing registered signatures, but the law would still require her to get them to get placed on the ballot.
Hillary deciding to run as an independent would require a massive massive organization at the grass roots in a very short time period.
She cant go away for june july august and september then suddenly come back in october. not enough time.
pray God

HHAHAHAAA!! Too funny!
Michelle is only one of the many people in Obama’s life who hold very negative views of their country. As his wife, she best illustrates the troubling propensity Obama has to gravitate to those types. For all her complaining about her country, what has Michelle ever done for her country? For that matter, what has Obama ever done for his country?
Obama can’t face vets in PUBLIC…sneaking in and out of Las Cruces today… press to enable cynical event. Creep.

Enough said…story will be updated when the glowing reports from the press start in a short while…
oH FOR THE LOVE OF PETE!!!
It isn’t about race. It is about an obnoxious woman named Michelle Obama. I can imagine four years of her lecturing and pointing fingers. Who knows what kind of people will have her ear if she gets in there. I’ve watched her in interview(s) and she is a truly threatening looking woman. She scares the hell out of me. I wouldn’t want to walk into her on the street and accidentally bump into her coming out of the grocery store. I think she would have a shit fit. She is not fit to be the representative of this country. Sorry!
Larry ….
Could this video, if validated, be used behind the scenes with the SuperDelegates?
I don’t need a video showing Michelle Obama railing against ‘Whitey’ to think she’d make a disastrous First Lady. In her speeches already on record, she’s shown herself to be a self-centered hypocrite with a vicious streak. Axelrod knows she polls badly with audiences and has tried to keep her away from the microphone, unless she’s reading from a carefully prepared script. Like her husband, Michelle Obama’s small ventures into off-the-cuff land have been uniformly disastrous.
People who actually look at Obama’s record and performance objectively have to be gravely concerned about the ignorance he has displayed about economics, foreign relations, domestic relations, healthcare, world geography, and even basic geography of the USA. As Senator from Illinois, he didn’t even realize that his state shares a border with Kentucky.
Added to that, Obama, the candidate for Change, has never pursued anything but an old-style Chicago backroom type of political campaign, and Obama the Washington Outsider has surrounded himself with lobbyists and political fixers.
So, people who have been paying attention to the facts, and not going along for the joyride of Hope and Change will already have serious reservations about Obama. Added to this is the fact that Obama allowed spurious charges of racism to be levelled at the Clintons by his operatives, and he stood by and said nothing while vile sexist language was used to degrade Clinton.
Obama never had the support of a large part of the electorate, and these people dislike him more and more as time goes by. Neither the Obamas nor Axelrod has denied the existence of the ‘Whitey’ tape. By itself, such a tape could be excused as youthful passion now soberly reconsidered. But added to all the other evidence that this pair have nothing positive to offer Americans, it could well be the coup de grace for Obama’s candidacy.
One can only hope the DNC takes the possibility of its existence seriously and acts accordingly.
This is such buIIsh*t. There is no such video. You think they’d be able to keep such a video to themselves with so many reporting to have seen it?
There is a video of Michelle saying “whitey” but she’s quoting an older woman, and chiding her for her backwards attitude. Maybe a creative edit would make it appear Michelle feels this way, but I guarantee the Obama campaign has the video and would expose the manipulation.
It would be incredibly destructive for the McCain campaign if they resorted to tactics like this.
It’s pitiful how you’re now grabbing at straws to keep alive Hillary’s campaign. Even to the point of making up stories. Sickos.
You troll with all the versatility of William Shatner acting…
A nashville toupee…
Or, god help us, Bill Shatner singing.
billy,
dont be afraid, whatever happens, happens.
be a good little obamabot and go home and be at peace.
if there is no video, than you are safe right?
on the other hand…
Cry all you want. Your Manchurian candidate is going down..either by August or by November but he IS GOING DOWN.
larry,
if the republicans want to hold onto the tape till october, WHAT WOULD MAKE THEM CHANGE THEIR MINDS, AND WANT TO PUT IT OUT SOONER?
and can we do it?
Please Join us at Democrats Against Obama
we are growing stronger everyday. look the people and groups signing up to not vote for Obama
http://democrats-against-obama.org/
The Republicans just put Ted Griffin on the payroll according to MSNBC. Griffin
.
So, what’s the skinny on Griffin?
there are so many fraudulent hillary sites now.
i’ll stick to what i know to be true, that would be larry…
sorry…
People tend to forget soemthing Michelle Obama stated at a fundraiser late last year towards Hillary:
If you can’t keep your house in order, how can we expect you to keep the White House in order?
Then asked of Michelle:
If Clinton was the nominee, would you vote for her? long pause…“I don’t know, I’d have to think abou that!
This along with her injection of the race card continually during the campaign has made Michelle Obama fair game for anything! And what is Barry going to do when she is revealed? Cry in a corner again, after all this isn’t Democrat against Democrat! This is for all the marbles!
And a note, never once has Hilary ever stated anything against Michelle Obama, nor words like Michelle has towards Bill “I want to scratch his eyes out”, low lifes oare the Obama two! No way fit for POTUS peopleeeeeeee!
Can you even IMAGINE????
Instead of the “scratch his eyes out” speaking of BILL C
if BILL C speaking of Michelle O said something equally gender based like “I’d like to punch her in the kisser”
how would THAT HAVE GONE OVER????
YOU MOFO HYPOCRITE OBAMABOTS THAT’S WHEN YOU LOST ME. That and when BO said Hillary was “nice enough”
muthafkr – I’d LIKE TO PUNCH him OUT myself and I’m (generally) a LADY!!
lol
larry,
i have a question?
Is it possible that actual threats and possibly harm, has been made to the SD’s that have joined obama in droves?
we keep wanting to think they have been paid off, and i am quite sure, many have.
but what about the ones firmly in hillary’s corner, who have mysteriously went to the other side? it makes no sense…
have you and your ’sources’. ever looked into this possibility?
i mean after all, we keep refering to the radical element that obama has on his side, it stands to reason, that something weird is going on…
Thanks for the article, Larry. Also thanks for adding what Jeff Jacoby wrote. The statement made by Michelle, quoted below, has always been the one to raise red flags with me. I think Obama, Michelle, Axelrod and Co. want to change this country into something it was never meant to be. I will help anyone I’m able to help, within my circle of influence. But there is no way I’m giving my small piece of pie to MO or BO to “redistribute”.
There is something seriously wrong with this woman’s thought process.
Why does George Orwell spring to mind when I read that quote?
agree. words like “allow” and “demand.” who the hell does she think she is/he is? last i heard, even if, as i fervently hope NEVER happens, her asshole husband gets elected, he will not be able to tell us whether to be cynical, stay in our comfort zones, be uninformed, be uninvolved, etc.
of course, in the marxist world she envisions and hopes to be the queen of ….
hillary or mccain. no other option.
Interesting. BO and buddies got a “bye” on the gender question when HRC was there to attract all the misogyny. He NEVER addressed the issue although he was and is quick off the mark to see racism.
If HRC is out of the race, some of that vitriol will, inevitably, pass to Mechelle. Anyone remember all the stuff said about HRC in ‘92? We’ll see the same stuff. I wonder if Mechelle bakes cookies?
Having said that, I don’t want to attack MO in gender-related ways. There’s just so much to attack her for otherwise: pride, “bad SATs” yet entry to Colombia, bump in salary after BO was “elected,” choice in churches, bad attitude and negativity. . .
Really. How about we just call her BO’s evil twin???
I do not want this downright mean woman to be our First Lady. To represent this country to us this way is atrocious, how is she going to represent us to other countries???
The remarks that got me the worse was when she said she didn’t think she could vote for Hillary.
Then when pressed on it, she said it would depend on her tone.
Talk about your tone????
Whether the tape exists or is apochryphal is not particularly material. The woman WILL shoot herself in the foot with her mouth again.

But if she does, remember – Barack told us to ‘lay off his wife’ and we aren’t ‘allowed’ to criticize her! Ohhhhhhhhhhh, I’m shakin’!
Great piece Larry, thanks for sharing it. I just hope the tape come out soon rather than later, it would be too late if we want Hillary to win. However, she will win by the mere fact that she has the popular vote and won swing sates and is high in polls.
Great post Larry- seems my comments are going out into nowhere today. Have I violated a rule???? I love NQ!
Larry
I just want to add that it was bad enough watching and hearing Rev Wright cuss and trash our country. But now to hear that there are videos of Micelle doing the same!
Our party is heading towards another George McGovern debacle. Its has been taken over by the extreme left, hate America crowd. I believe that Black community is being duped and used. Well i have beeb checking other bloggs..and speaking about video tapes..there is speculation that there may Larry Sinclair audio recordings between Larry and Donald Young, who knows, maybe there is video tapes of that alleged meeting between LS and Obama at that hotel room in Gurney Illinois. Mr. Sinclair has stated he has never released all of his evidence. As far as I can tell he is still standing, interview with Chicago PD regarding those phone conversations with Donald Young. Maybe we will seeing a greatest hits of Obama scandals soon to appear in threatres near you. How did we get into this mess? Maybe its time to call for the resignation of Howard Dean.
Is this tape held by the same people who said mccain had a black baby and said they had tape of george mcgoverns wife burning the american flag?
Does it matter? Both Mccain and McGovern lost if memory serves.
Doesn’t Obama and his wife know “We’ve only just begun!”
This topic has been up before about a possible video of Michelle Obama, and the one thing that makes me believe that it exists is that the Republicans are the ONLY ones who would use it, and they want to hold it for the Fall! Hillary knows better–the MSM would crucify her if she did something like that, not to mention the Democratic Party.
Having said that, the one thing that I have noticed about ALL the comments, including the comments by Obama trolls, is that NO ONE even suggests that Michelle Obama is not capable of a racist diatribe. One person argues that she is “too sharp” to be caught on video blasting “whitey”, although she’s had her share of embarrassing videos just since this campaign started–certainly worse than anything out of Bill or Hillary, if you ask me (particularly that “first time” to be “proud” moment from Michelle). And there was an earlier poster who claimed that he had actually SEEN the video and that, taken in context, it was no big deal. Again, no one is claiming that Michelle does not have some hostility toward white people. The general question is whether she got caught on tape ranting about it.
That should speak volumes about Obama’s prospects in November, even WITHOUT this theoretical video. Of course, the bigger question is whether Michelle Obama is enough to derail Barack Obama’s candidacy for POTUS. My guess it that it is. Just think about the people who reacted in a negative way to Teresa Heinz Kerry and used that as a reason to vote for the chimp in 2004. And I still remember my own father refusing to vote for Dukakis because his wife was a Jew–a pathetic reason, if you ask me, but that’s the screwy things that some people think about when they vote.
There is no tape. LJ is not the only person with contacts and resources. There is a rumor of a tape, but my sources inside the Republican party say they are looking high and low to keep the Rev. Wright angle going, as in tying Obama more closely to the sermons he said he never heard.
So far they don’t have bunk. Also Ms. Obama works for a high powered law firm and it is doubtful that she has been running around making such statements because of the career ending effect they would have.
Those of you who are lawyers know full well those who are Ms. Obama’s level within such a firm are anything but careless about their position and prospects within the firm.
You my not like her or her husband, but they are not stupid people as in stupid enough to be recorded saying explosive things as alleged in this piece.
Also the notion that they would rather face Clinton than Obama is not the consensus within the party. Most believe that Clinton would be easier to beat based on all the baggage and high unfavorables she carries. They also believe that Obama can win a state or two in the South whereas she will not win any southern states because of the deep hatred of the Clintons.
Clinton also provides a lighting rod to heal the fractures and spark turnover that Obama does not.They are scared that Obama will cut into the evangelical vote because he is seen as more authentic and comfortable about religion.
I get that this is an anti-Obama site, but there is nothing that indicates that the guy is going to be anything but tough to beat. So what he doesn’t get West Virginia/Kentucky, 30% of Democrats crossed over in 2000 and 2004 for Bush so to expect them to come to Clinton is false hope.
Nope, Obama is going to have to be beaten fair and square. The scare tactic so far have not worked in the congressional elections(see the recent special elections where candidates were tied to Obama) nor have they done much for Clinton. In fact, it seems that dirty tactics just makes the guy stronger. Just look at how his numbers have rebounded from the 6 weeks of Rev. Wright. Not only that, but his unfavorables have gone down.
So get ready to have to make a rational case to beat the guy because the emotional overwrought stuff ain’t doing the trick.
So
You are completely wrong. Obama is a weak candidate and the many Hillary supporters who will vote for McCain this fall will be his undoing.
Obama can’t win while Hillary can.
Simple as that. You want proof? Here it is:
Hillary has 319 electoral votes to win the Presidency.
McCain has 202.
http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2008/Clinton/Maps/May26.html
Obama and McCain both have been short of the 270 electoral votes to win.
http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2008/Obama/Maps/May26.html
Obama will lose in a landslide.
was 99 the year you graduated from high school or college?
They will vote for Clinton because she is one of them.
Obama won’t win Nc where Edwards lost in 2004 and won’t win Tn and won’t win Florida and shall we just keep going?
sebastianguy99,
Please tell us ignorant folks exactly when, in the last month or so, did Michelle Obama leave her very lucrative job as a hospital administrator to join a law firm?
You bots need to get your facts straight before trying to refute others. Typical uninformed troll.
Try This as to her employment:
Hope And Change My Ass: ‘Barack Obama Requested $1 Million Earmark For Michelle Obama’s Employer ‘
Topics: Political News and commentaries
In the list of earmarks requested by Barack (Hope and Change) Obama, $1 Million was requested for the construction of a new hospital pavilion at the University Of Chicago. The request was put in in 2006.
Michelle Obama is vice president of community affairs at the University of Chicago Hospital. And you won’t believe the salary jump she got after Barack was elected to the Senate.
Little wonder that Obama initially refused to release all earmark requests.
THEN:
Barack Obama Requested $1 Million Earmark Michelle Obama’s Employer…No worries, she didn’t ask him for it personally

Hope or Change?
Dan Riehl notes, via Amanda Carpenter, that in the list of earmarks he requested, $1 Million was requested for the construction of a new hospital pavilion at the University Of Chicago. The request was put in in 2006.
You know who works for the University of Chicago Hospital?
Michelle Obama. She’s vice president of community affairs.
As Byron noted, “In 2006, the Chicago Tribune reported that Mrs. Obama’s compensation at the University of Chicago Hospital, where she is a vice president for community affairs, jumped from $121,910 in 2004, just before her husband was elected to the Senate, to $316,962 in 2005, just after he took office.”
Looks like that raise was worth it.
Oh wait, now comes the Obama’s version of the events:
Kelly M. Sullivan, the medical center’s vice president for communications and marketing, noted that Mr. Obama had also requested money for a number of other hospitals in Illinois, and she said any lobbying for the money had been handled by the hospital’s government-affairs officials.
“I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that Michelle Obama was not part of our lobbying over the request, not in any way,” Ms. Sullivan said. She said the hospital’s lobbyists often seek help on their own from both of the state’s senators.
In other cases, Mr. Obama’s requests benefited political supporters.
Allahpundit:
Follow the link for details about those political supporters, to whom hope, change, and buckets of premium grade D.C. pork were duly delivered emblazoned with the “new type of politics” seal of quality. Exit question: Why would a guy burned by the appearance of impropriety in his dealings with Tony Rezko, to the point where he felt obliged to apologize for them, think earmarking money for his wife’s school was a swift idea?

so an obama supporter now knows there is a tape? man,you are so full of it.
Sebastianguy…you are obviously 1 of 400 of Obama’s paid bloggers. I am a Republican and Obama would be way easier to beat than Hillary Clinton in the GE. Name your source in the Republican party. You can’t because you don’t have one. MO may be a lawyer but she has a BIG problem keeping her mouth shut. 20 years at that church and do you really think that she could keep that mouth shut for that long? by the way…you say that BO and MO aren’t stupid enough to be recorded saying explosive things…how about in San Francisco??? When the Huffington Post reported…
Obama can be heard lamenting to a closed San Francisco fundraiser the plight of rural Americans. “You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them,”Obama said. “And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
I think that there is a tape and much more than that. Barack Hussein Obama will never become the POTUS. I am not a Hillary fan but she has been DOGGED UNFAIRLY by the media.
Sebastian99…did you graduate from preschool in 99?
You folks seem to have forgotten that we are all on the same team. Whether the next president is McCain, Clinton, or Obama, I want them to succeed. Any of them would be much much better than the current president. And they need to be.
We have a sinking economy, enormous trade deficit; oil is going through the roof, and we are fighting two wars and losing both. Honestly, I don’t give a rat’s ass about the age, race, or gender of the candidate, or what idiotic thing they or their spouse has said or done. No one goes through the meat grinder of a presidential run without loving this country enough to make it better.
If you have actual issues that make you prefer one candidate to another, fine. I’m a Democrat, and I find the issue platforms of Clinton and Obama quite similar. I would vote for either over McCain, but I will support my president, whomever he or she may be. In the meantime, please stop acting like adolescents playing “gotcha.”
Thing is they have to be pro-American..which eliminates one
Hillary or McCain only! Obama and his wife are anti-white, anti-America. When their preacher wears garb that states “Africa” all over it, and preaches Black Libration Theology, and the Black Values System, then one begins to wonder…hmmmmm…. Those tapes of Wright will NEVER go away.
In addition to that, I find BO and MO are arrogant and full of themselves – and MO is bitter, ungrateful and angry, like America (esp. whites) owes her something. I don’t like Obama’s policies, either (giving illegal aliens drivers licenses is only one of the differences he has between Hillary, and McCain, too).
And I guess by personal insults you folks demonstrate a level of maturity/awareness beyond mine? I mean people are citing polls in May as “proof” of electability. This of course ignores the fact that there is no correlation between May polls and final election.
How sad you people …some of you…react emotionally will pretending to make intellectually honest arguments.
Name my source? Yeah just as soon as LJ reveals his. I will tell you my sources are party officials I know through their children. I’ve known these people all of my life and trust what they tell me.
I am no Obama troll, nor am I a registered Democrat. I support no candidate at this time. In fact, I find none of the three to be all that. I DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM IN MY STATE’S PRIMARY.
I have no ax to grind, no candidate to champion. I just thought that I’d mention what I have heard as well as some impressions.
I also offered the opinion that Obama seems to get stronger the more histrionic his detractors become; we’ve seen this before with Bill Clinton and the “scandals” he was alleged to have been responsible for.
Sometimes people can go too far in their attacks such that they negate their credibility and end up helping the object of their scorn. I believe we are seeing this with Obama detractors. I cited examples in the special elections where people tried to defeat Democratic candidates by tying them to Obama and it did not work.
Newt Gingrich has said the same thing by the way. This election is going to be about giving people something to vote for…not against.
But thanks for the laughs..I mean “Barack Hussein Obama” types are just plain funny!
Lastly, I repeat, in the South, the Clinton brand is not strong. While I believe Obama will likely lose, I am certain that Clinton will because for her to become the nominee would alienate a large portion of the Democratic base.
Well then, there you have it. Sebastian99 has all the answers we were looking for. Thanks kiddo, your work is done here.
More insults huh?
Thank goodness for people like American, I’m with you…I’m want any president to do well because I want my country to do well.
One of these three will win and I will refused to wish him anything but success.
What a blessing to not be so emotionally invested in a candidate that I lose all objectivity and am reduced to insulting people who have never done anything to me except disagree about something political.
Sebastian99, I truely am sorry if I offended you in any way. From your last post you sound like an intelligent person. I have always in the past respected our elected President whether I agreed with his views or not be it Democrat or Republican. However, please do some research on Barack Obama. It is soooooo scarey. I would WELCOME Hillary as President verses Obama and if you knew me, you would say that’s AMAZING!!! I’m sorry but I will never support Barack Obama. Do your research and you will know why. It is not that I am so emotionally invested in a candidate that I lose objectivity as you say,(because I’m not a fan of any of the 3) but that I am so emotionally invested in our country and the well being of it that I am worried about someone who wants to be the “Commander In Cheif” is a WOLF in sheeps clothing. It will all come out sooner or later. Obama WILL go down. I just hope it is the sooner rather than the later.
I’d say those are legitimate comments, you want to know where a candidate really stands, and there is nothing wrong with investigating the candidate and seeing what their true intentions are or what they have supported in the past Most people don’t do any research but just listen to the news and what they tell them, and that is part of the problem, they don’t know enough.
Ahhh this is why I love the Republicans, they find the dirt and know how to use it…sadly the American people will learn too late what some of us have known all along: The Obama’s are not what they seem.
No you did not offend me..I don’t look for validation on blogs.
I have done some research and as I’ve said, I’m not in love with Obama, Clinton, or McCain. But I can say that I am leary of Obama because I haven’t seen sufficient toughness from him. I also do not like his medical plan. These are enough for me reasons for me and I am willing to defend my positions.
What I will not do is resort to questioning his patriotism, his religious affiliation or spread rumors of racist videos. I mean who says “whitey” anyway?
I also believe that Hilary will lose as well. I believe she would say anything, do anything to obtain power.She agrees to play by the rules until she loses and now wants to change(Fla. and Mich.) She is quick to play the victim card. If there is one thing I do like about Obama is that he has never said he was being treated harshly because he was black. But Clinton is quick to be a victim so I don’t like her.
McCain, well what can I say. The continuation of most of the Bush policies I believe is not the best course for the country. I believe , or he has given me the impression that he has no problem with the country in a perpetual state of war.
But my biggest beef with McCain is that he has reversed himself on so many key positions that he is no longer the McCain I wanted to vote for in 2000.
So as I said, I’m not carrying a torch for any of them but will support the winner. There is plenty to debate about the candidates without resorting bs and propaganda. I’ll have to vote for one of them and it’s going to be tough so I want to here substantive stuff not distractions like “secret whitey tapes”.
distractions like “secret whitey tapes”.
**
Distractions??? I think it would be a good thing to know who your enemies are! I think a future First Lady cursing or vilifying ‘white’ people, esp. after she sat in a hate/blame whites/America church for 20 years should be outed for the whole country to see. And, especially after Obama said he was never in church when he heard Wright preach such hatred. It might not be a ‘distraction’ to you, but it might be to a few tens of millions of other whites – enough to sink Obama’s and his “sweetie’s” ‘ambitions’.

And yet you can’t help but come back. I suspect Obama realizes that no matter how many trolls he sends out there is NO TURNING BACK! If Hillary is not the nominee we WILL help the republicans bury the Hamas approved mascot. Spare us the unity crap…everything about Obama’s past and present is anti-Democrat and anti-American.

“the Hamas approved mascot” – LOL! That’s priceless! Mind if I ‘borrow’ your descritpion of him when I post on other blogs?
Michelle and the elusive tape? Why I think it exists is; she does let her anger show and seemed proud of it till she saw the harm it did their pres. run. I did read some of the angry thesis she wrote while at Princeton (thanks to affirmative action by the way), she most likely did the pulpit rant long before she thought her hubby would run for Pres. and she was trying to make points with her congregation AND it seems to me SHE is the one who probably kept them in that church far too long for his carreer and he knew but could not get her to give it up. They lived in a bubble surrounded in the church by like minded people, very out of touch with the main stream and how the Rev sounds to us. She strikes me as very, very politically ambitious like her mate. Of course she lacks his gift of gab and in fact turns off all but the already angry who love her. Just my opinion as an amatuer psychologist.
This is plain frustrating. As a Clinton supporter I see the chances of our having an excellent President slipping away – I do not think Obama is an acceptable candidate on any level – he has avoided directly answering the very odd circumstances of his snappy rise to political fame – the on and on donations from people deep in the mix of the Chicago Combine, he is amateurish in his presentation of foreign policy (we are at war, no small thing) etc., etc. It is stunning that we are discussing the strategic withholding of a Michelle “whitey rant” tape (whether it exists or not, does it not tell a significant story that so many of us can easily believe in its existence?) a tape that might finally allow Super Delegates an out seemingly necessary not to offend the Black community – (who out there really thinks this race wouldn’t be going to the convention floor if this were 2 white men going at it with this close a race?). The tape might also wake up a larger portion of the Democratic Party that this candidate really holds views that are shockingly out of step with change and unity.
There is a groundswell of love and support out there for Barack Obama that is not necessarily being reported to the pollsters. He will bury McCain handily in November.
He’s already beaten the best. When he gets going on McCain, he’ll have the old fool looking just like the blithering panderer Bush wannabe he is.
Obama 08!
Obama hasn’t won anything, yet. You must not have heard that more than 16.7 million Democrats support Hillary. A huge number of those supporters will never vote for a finger-flipping, misogynist, newbie from their own party. They will vote for experience. If not Hillary, then John McCain.
I think that groundswell of love and support is subsiding quickly. You think the “new coalition” is the ticket. You’re simply wrong.
I will try once more.
I see strong accusations with nothing but hearsay evidence like “the Obama’s are not what they seem,” and “Obama’s past and present is anti-Democrat and anti-American.” Do you folks remember the McCarthy era? You jump to conclusions about a video tape you haven’t even seen! That’s called “prejudging”. It has the same root as “prejudice.”
Yes, there are folks who have drunk the Obama kool aid, and can’t see any flaws in him. But you folks have drunk some sort of anti-Obama kool aid.
This is what I see. He is very bright, and he is a great public speaker (I am happy to see young people active again). He seems quite ambitious. He saw that this was a rare year where a black man might actually be able to win, given the screw-ups of the current administration. He did not follow some unwritten protocol about “waiting his turn”. I think that has angered many. I can understand that, but no one is entitled to the presidency–we deserve the best person we can get.
I think he has far less experience than the other two candidates. On the other hand, he seems to be less entwined in the web of logrolling and perhaps more able to bring diverse people together. Perhaps. I can see voting against Obama because of his lack of experience, or for him because there are fewer special interests to which he is beholden, or his ability to create a diverse majority.
He seems to have had trouble early on connecting with the black community, and so attended a church with a nutcase for a preacher. I don’t see Obama doing this as anti-American, but I do think it was done out of political calculation.
I could do a similar analysis of the other two. They are all complex people, with plusses and minuses. They all are ambitious. They all have brilliant accomplished people who have endorsed them, and will help guide them if they become president. You know, I think we do too much “cult of personality.” It is an entire administration, not one man or woman.
Frankly, it is the party of the administration that matters more than the persona at its head. In November, you will decide whether the next administration will be Democratic or Republican. After the last 8 years, I see a need for change, and I will vote for whichever Democrat gets nominated.
I disagree with 99% of your comments. However, I defend your right to state them. Just don’t be too certain about the special interests thing.
but I do think it was done out of political calculation
Since when does a person decide that a house of worship is to be used in an act of political calculation? What does that say about his moral judgement?
Yikes!
He gets that nomination, I bet we’ll get to see more than that one tape of Mish acting foolish.
I do not think the brits have anything up there sleeve apart from what has gone on the last decade and to walk hand in hand with our USA friends…
After all sometimes where the only 2 countries that see sense somedays…
As for Michelle she has to be checked out 100% after all she wears the pants in the house right?
i can’t wait until this tape comes out!!! white america will finally see black racism in its purest simplest form. but she will still probably get a pass because she’s black.

Gee, haven’t seen that tape yet… what a bunch of crap this site is! I’d be embarassed for reporting on this, for a former CIA guy or whatever, if you didn’t willfully spread misinformation you got used by Republican operatives the way a sixth grade girl will get a nerd to do her homework for her. Nice work buddy.
larry, you’re a rumor-peddling piece of shit. where’s your tape? where’s the smoking gun, huh?
michelle obama’s going to sock it to “whitey”? you sound like you’re auditioning for the role of the dweeby white villian in a 70’s blaxploitation pic.
you might want to pitch your dog whistle a little higher next time, big guy. either that or you’re just a republican tool. you can take the boy out of the CIA . . .

Have you guys mentioned how black Barack Obama is? You should call attention to that. He’s black, you know.
