The Hill: “Obama: ‘I bit my tongue’ against Clinton”
By SusanUnPC on June 26, 2008 at 1:40 PM in Barack Obama, Bill Clinton
Here’s the latest fall-out from last week’s heated meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus with Barack Obama, during which he said that Clinton’s female supporters need to “get over it” and support him. (See Pagan Power’s “Obama to Hillary Supporters: Get Over It!“)
Obama: ‘I bit my tongue’ against Clinton
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) said he bit his tongue “many times” during the fierce primary battle with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).
Two sources said that Obama’s comments came after Rep. Diane Watson (D-Calif.), a Clinton backer, told the Illinois senator that the Democratic Party needs time to heal.
“I bit my tongue many times. Many times. I bit my tongue many times during this campaign,” Obama told his colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) last week during a private meeting. He repeated the “I bit my tongue” phrase three times during the meeting, the sources said.
Never mind that the media gave Obama a pass for his sexist remarks and for playing the race card while incessantly scrutinizing everything that Bill and Hillary Clinton said.
Never mind that Obama’s enablers — including Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, James Clyburn, and Jesse Jackson, Jr. — ignored the sexist remarks against Hillary Clinton until after the primary season ended, but cried “foul” at every imagined (and mostly imaginary) racial slight.
Never mind that Obama’s thuggish supporters constantly harassed, intimidated and threatened pro-Hillary bloggers with impunity — and with the tacit approval of the Obama campaign.
Never mind that millions of Americans are deeply concerned by Obama’s longtime intimate associations with radical racists like Revs. Jeremiah Wright and James Meeks, Father Michael Pfleger, and unrepentant terrorist William Ayers — but that ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos is widely excorciated for questioning Obama about these relationships, for the first time, in a debate.
Never mind that, after his disastrous performance in that ABC debate, Barack Obama refused to debate Hillary Clinton again, but was given a pass by the media for chickening out on facing Clinton, a far more able and formidable debater.
Never mind that Howard Dean and the DNC gamed the primary so that Obama would be handed the nomination, no matter that Dean and Obama disenfranchised millions of Michigan and Florida voters, and manipulated the Rules and Bylaws Committee to give Obama four of Hillary’s delegates as well as more delegates who did not vote for Obama.
Never mind that … YOU ADD TO THE LIST.
::::::::
Here’s what Bud White wrote in a pithy, angry post on June 1, 2008:
Why are we angry? Here’s 10 reasons:
1. Blatant sexism
2. Race-baiting as a political tool
3. Vote stealing. Literally taking away delegates from Hillary in Michigan (worse than FL in ‘00)
4. The less qualified man getting preference over the more qualified woman.
5. Obama’s membership in a hate cult and his convenient break with Trinity
6. The media’s unrelenting bias against Hillary
7. Dr. Dean’s malpractice in managing this primary race (the 50 state joke)
8. The other candidate attacks Hillary’s health care plan from the Right
9. Smearing our most progressive president since LBJ
10. Suggesting that Hillary’s supporters are bitter, gun-owning “Archie Bunkers”

Never mind him getting my vote.
Its going to McCain.
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Thanks to Obama I am a McCain supporter unless Hillary gets the nomination. We don’t even know if Obama is legally allowed to hold the office of president since there remain questions about his birth certificate. Hillary can say whatever she wants and I will vote for whomever I want and it will never be Obama.
Hillary has to say this — she has to be able to be in a position that when Obama implodes before the convention she will be able to step in & be the nominee without alienating the Obama supporters. I just hope the implosion comes in time — cause I bet my life it is coming — the only question is before the convention or after.
I to, am now a McCain supporter, thanks to this mess. I have never voted republican ever!

i’m with you ……i am a life long dem but enough is enough!!
IF ANYONE HAD TO BITE THEIR TONGUE IT WAS HILLARY….AND THIS OF COURSE WAS THE
STRATEGY..NO ONE COULD SAY ANYHNG NEGATIVE
WITHOUT THE FEAR OF BEING CALLED RACIST. IT
WAS A MUZZLED PIMARY AND THAT WAS DELIBERATE!
Irish Reparation Theology
UKDems, you and the rest of the oppressors in the UK owe me and every American of Irish descent, billions, no make that trillions of pounds, for centuries of repression, stolen lands, starvation, slavery.
Now Sean and Seamus will be by to collect your share.
Be a good little limey and have cash on hand.
LOL!
farging barstich owes me money
in fact he owes the Kennedys, and the Kerrys
Oh yeah like Kennedy’s and Kerry really need the money. Ridiculous!
Thank you Kevin. I would like to add the same to your post on behalf of Scotland. Genocide after Culloden, anyone? William & Lesley Sinclair will represent our family.
Do I hear from Wales?
Now all I need is for Cardinal Sean O’Malley to start preaching it every sunday.
no justice
no peace
I’m gonna start me a movement.
yeah
I’ve got the Irish and Scots plus Wales — and don’t forget the Native Americans– Trail of Tears!!!
And then way way back Jews from Spain who were forced to convert and become Christians.
Most than likely we ALL have ancestors who were slaves or were forced from their homes.
hey, I could make out really good, i’m Irish, my wife has cherokee blood, plus she was adopted by armenians (which makes her a legitimate candidate under my WORLDWIDE REPARARATIONS THEOLOGY)where everyone is a victim and we’ll spend the rest of our lives figuring out who is owed how much by whom.
Now that’s entitlement for ya!
Amen! We want reparations for Culloden. Where do we sign up?
Could I please have a trillion or so for my Scotch Irish ancestors who fought to free the slaves in the Civil War? Thanks in advance.
My ggggg grandfather was sent to America as an indentured servant. I want to be reinbursed for all of his pain and suffering.
hehe, I would pay an Irishman reparations well before Blacks, at least you can enjoy a pint with an Irishman without having to walk on eggshells wondering when the RaceCard is gonna get pulled.
But wait? Aren’t the NativeAmericans first in line? Funny how they’re not whinny 24/7 isn’t?
are you kidding?

lmao….right on !
Thank you for this little blurb. I have sent it far and wide to my Dem friends, if I still have any left.
Love Hillary, but as an independent thinker, my vote goes to McCain!
“Democrats for McCain”
Just get up off of it. Hillary has to either say this stuff or be booted out of the Democratic Party now that it’s turn into the Comintern. And, really, when are you Obama people going to get through your heads that liberals are not sheeple who can be BAMBOOZLED and OKEY DOKIED into doing what the Party wants.
If you like Obama–vote for him. Just shut up and vote for him and stop trying to muscle other people around. I think Barack Obama is a corrupt Chicago pol who cares only about his own enrichment. I will not vote for such a man. He’s worse than Dubya. At least George W. Bush was already a multi-millionaire. He didn’t corrupt his party for profit. Its Barack Obama who’s four more years of the same–or worse–so if you’re voting for him, I don’t need a lecture from a knucklehead.
Could not have said it better. I will vote McCain as well. Obama is a self- serving bastard.
I’m totally with you.
The Obamabots are really getting on my nerves – trying to tell adults how to vote.
My vote goes to John McCain in November.
And that’s not to change unless Hillary gets the nomination or another candidate with about the same amount of experience and an agenda similar to Hillary’s enters the Presidential race.
You are persistent. I’ll give you that. I’m sorry that No Quarter is the assignment you’ve been given. It must be hard making zero progress. Honestly, your wasting your time. Now, if Hillary is on the ticket, then you might get an ear or two.
Those of us who supported Hill aren’t blind servants that knuckle under whenever the master speaks, like the Obamabots. We think for ourselves, and what is best for our families, communities and country. And we will vote accordingly.
She’s entitled to her opinion, as am I.
” ..every issue you care about personally,.. every issue your constituents care about and every issue NALEO is fighting for is really at risk. We cannot afford four more years of the same. It wouldn’t be good for us. We have to chart a new course and we cannot do that without electing Senator Obama our next president.”
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Excuse me while I go and throw up. FOUR YEARS OF McCAIN WILL BE BETTER THAN 4 YEARS WITH THAT PHONY, EMPTY SUIT OBAMA. I can’t remember when I’ve read a more disgusting and untruthful statement. Am FINISHED WITH THE DEMOCRATS.
Even if I saw Obama that way, I’d still have to disagree.
If Obama turned out to be nothing more than a empty suit, beholden to the democrats who got him elected, he’d still be democrat in the White House, to be used to facilitate change along democratic policy lines.
I’m not sure we can survive 4 more years of republican control. There’s simply no significant difference between McCain policy and Bush policy. All proposed changes are purely superficial and cosmetic.
Why should any reasonable person believe that with McCain in the White House all current negative trends wouldn’t continue?
Project that out for the next 4 years and imagine where we’d be.
If we don’t significantly change what we’re doing, why should we expect to get different results?
A Republican president with a Democratic majority in both house and Senate will be deeply disadvantaged. McCain is not GWB. Once elected I think you will find that McCain’s history of working across the aisle will emerge. McCain has a chance to rebuild a Republican party and new Republican majority. I regret to say that the Democratic majority has demonstrated it is not only incapable of standing up to GWB, it is more of the same.
don’t waste time trying to alter the PUMA way of thinking. it is not worth it. they are bitter, bitter whiners and will never change. they would rather cut off their noses to spite their faces just b/c Hill lost.
And yet YOU hang out around here for some inexplicable reasons.
Why don’t you take you slobo butt back to any of the thousands of “Praise Our Lord Obama” sites and stay there?
Really, what does it say about you that you’d rather hang around a bunch of “bitter, bitter whiners” who “would rather cut off their noses to spite their faces”? Presumably, you should be here trying to give those people reasons why they should support Obama but, no, you’d rather insult them (which is, incidentally, a very good way of ensuring that their hearts harden even more against you candidate of choice).
Oh, and one other bit: HILLARY DIDN’T LOSE. Baracky STOLE the nomination (with the willing aid and abettance of the DNC).
And which other presidential candidate in the past decade stole elections? Hmm, another completely unsuited (and thoroughly untested) man, by the name of George W Bush.
I like the hate and conflict here so I visit every so often. As far trying to persuade you, I won’t attempt to do so because there is no way that would happen. You’re already so hateful towards Obama that it wouldn’t do any good. Only if you release your anger and hate can you see reason and that ain’t happening anytime soon.
Lastly, I read stuff here that is just insane. Some folks sound like the repubs who spouted crazy Clinton conspiracy theories during the 90s. And Obama did not steal the primary contest. He won fair and square.
Hillary did NOT lose. It was stolen from her by the DNC.
And this is the main reason we will NOT vote for Obama.
Another very important one is…
We don’t want a racist, race baiting, anti american liar in the white house.
PUMA
The only reason you hate him is b/c he is black just like most “ex dem” are hating him.
In reality you just can’t stand the fact the a non-white will be in power in America. Your kind like to kill & rape non-white & jews just like your fore-father.
It’s true apple doesn’t fall far free tree neither do white people.
With respect to Sen. Clinton’s words, I cannot vote for Sen. Obama. He has no history of accomplishment that would lead me to believe that he would be able to forward our cause. He does not seem to know from day to day where he stands on an issue. Sad.
Said like a true Hillary supporter
We will NEVER relinquish our free will
Our free will to make our own decision
Our free will to make OUR choice
We follow Hillary because we are all impermiable to the cult of personality that continues to affect so many KoolAide drinker.
We do not follow anyone blindly like sheep and mental midgets
So “UKforDems” gives a shit what Hillary says only when it praises his god, Obama? What a surprise.
“We have serious problems to solve, and we need serious people to solve them. And whatever your particular problem is, I promise you, Barack Obama is not the least bit interested in solving it. He is interested in two things and two things only: making you afraid of it and telling you who’s to blame for it. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you win elections.”

kcfrmtx – If Hillary has the glass ceiling then Obama has a glass jaw. I just wonder what Obama would have done to Hillary if he hadn’t bitten his tongue. I know he said at one debate that he would not kneecap her. I’m sure she was relieved. This man is not ready for prime time.
What a moron.
Bush is smarter than this guy—and has more class.
THAT is a low bar indeed
He must have bit his tongue alot during those 20 years at church.
Maybe that is why it’s forked.
LOL
Okay now that’s a pretty perfect comment.
AGREED!
Perfect for coming out of both sides of his mouth at the same time!
Comment of the day!
Hahahahaha!!!
LMAO Touche’!!!!
Exactly!!
Harp — Obama didn’t have to bite his tongue when Wright was speaking. Wright expressed the anger that Obama feels all the time. This is why he has so many friends who hate America because they speak for him. Only Pelosi thinks its good that Obama went to church. Obama has more enablers then we have soldiers in Iraq.
That is pretty much the perfect list. Exactly why I can not support Obama or the democratic party anymore! PUMA!!
I guess all that tongue biting is why BO was unable to debate Senator Clinton after the one on ABC.
Obama = 3rd Bush term!
Hillary or Jmac!
I wish he could keep biting his tongue so as to stop the policy switches.
http://www.obama-wire.com
The man is scum. He enjoyed every misogynist minute of it. He’s a sadistical bastard and he attracts sadistical followers.
make that sadistic.
Oh hell, I just think he’s the worst thing that has ever happened to this country. He has set race and gender relations back 30 years and he’s ENJOYING it. Sick sick sick bastard.
that’s ok,
makes you sound presidentical
Barack Hussain Obama is a lying, anti american, bigot, race baiter who is not qualified for the presidency.
What the hell, people don’t even know for sure when or where he was born. He has a phoney
birth certificate on his website.
But don`t pick on Michelle or I will get very upset.
Yeah, Obama’s campaign thought it was quite OK to “hate on” Bill Clinton, and imply that everything that came out of his mouth about Obama was “racist,” but questioning some of the junk that Michelle says, well now, that’s just off limits, ya’ll…
And now Obama’s even forewarning MC CAIN that if he or his campaign utters one word against Obama, they’ll be deemed “racist.” (”They’ll try to make you fear me…. and did I say he’s black?”)
The unmitigated gall… Does he think we’re all morons? My God, HOW CAN PEOPLE SUPPORT THIS JERK???!!!
PUMAS– take the pledge:
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/pledge-to-vote-against-obama-in-the-general-election
I predict that at least 175 million people end up seeing/hearing Ms. Obama star in an ad about how proud she is. That and a few seconds of a preacher or two. LOL !!!!
Hillary or McCain 08!!!!!!!!!
He is a sadistic passive aggressive bastard and he attracts sadistic thugs who do his dirty work!
You all should have seen the Obama thugs in the caucus — they were shaking in rage when talking about the evil Hillary Clinton. Ironically EVERYTHING that they claimed she did or was doing — Obama has done. Obama is the one tied to CORPORATE apron strings.
I doubt very much if Obama’s sadistic thugs to this DAY can tell us exactly what Obama will actually do and what Obama really really believes in. Not one thug at the caucus could speak for ONE minute and give us a list of Obama’s positions!! Not a single thing.
Obama stands for nothing — except to become powerful and DO WHAT?
See this is what we don’t know and why Obama will never have our votes. We do NOT know what Obama’s core beliefs are.
We KNOW Hillary and we KNOW McCain — we vote for the KNOWN — not the UNKNOWN.
No I like sadistical it is a hybrid which Obama followers were are: sadistic and in the end just plain statistics.
Must be tough for you guys cheering on an old, tired candidate like McCain, especially now that he is getting crushed in the polls. Looking at the posts on this site, you’d think there was some kind of Hillary supporter revolt going on, but in the real world Obama gets more support from Dems than McCain gets from Repubs. The “PUMAs” make a lot of noise on one or two sites, but the majority of the country has moved on. Can’t wait for the Hillary/ Brack event tomorrow!:D
You need to learn to read!
http://www.gallup.com/poll/108376/Gallup-Daily-Obama-McCain-Tied-45.aspx
Why are paid gaza strip trolls so illiterate?
LOL – my point exactly! All you can do is point to one poll where McCain isn’t even ahead, he’s tied! Maybe you can show me a single recent national poll where McCain is leading…? Reality check: You need to be leading in the polls in order to win.
Of course it’s the electoral vote that matters…
Electoral-Vote.com:
Obama 317 McCain 194 Ties 27
RCP:
Barack Obama 317 John McCain 221
That’s a landslide, folks. Say hello to President Obama:D
Obama bited his tongue alright: he’s a coward.
Someone should ask him why did he bite his tongue while his minions, the DNC and the media made repeated sexist comments; why he bited his tongue when Plfeger mocked HRC, why did he bite his tongue with Wright, why did he bite his tongue when they acused the Clintons (for G’s sake!!) of being racist, etc etc etc.
Who does he think he is? What a moron….
Who cares? Why are you guys so obsessed with Obama’s personal life and people at his church? It’s funny, even the people against Obama are obsessed with him…
Obama is a moron and morons have no place the US White House. By this Fall the rest of the American voting people will know exactly who this guy really is: Vote NO Obama will be Nov.’s message.
Ah, and your last sentence makes no logical sense…Wow what’s your IQ?
AOL Straw Poll (So far this week)
McCain 61% (190,912 votes) Obama 39% (121,387 votes)
http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2008/06/20/aol-straw-poll-june-20-27/
An online straw poll?? That’s all you can come up with? HAHAHAHA
Um, sorry, but you do know that Ron Paul dominated online polls during his candidacy. I think Kucinich was even ahead in one.
Again, show me a single national poll where McCain is leading…there isn’t one.
The only poll that matters to me is the polling place where I will cast my vote for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee. And we don’t even know if Obama can legally hold the office of president since there are questions about his birth certificate.
Right, but we’re talking about who is gonna WIN. Makes no difference if you want to throw your vote away since there are not enough of you guys (whether you are “PUMAs” or Repubs) to win it for old man McCain.
And the birth certificate thing…if that’s what you’re resting your hopes on, good luck!
See there, that’s the real problem with the ardent nObama supporters. You only want to WIN. You have no understanding of the candidate you have chosen, you can’t even name an accomplishment the man has done while in office, and even he does not know where he stands on the issues as he keeps changing his mind.
This isn’t a football game, sweetie. It’s the most important job in the world, and having no experience will bury your candidate come November. You can count on the polls the media is feeding us all the way until then. Just like Dukakis and Kerry did.
Good luck with that.
PUMA
As I said up thread —
We vote for the KNOWN — Hillary and McCain — we KNOW Clinton and McCain.
We do NOT know Obama — therefore he ill never have our vote — nor the majority of votes.
Obama can NOT win — because Americans vote for people they know.
Obama’s associates are racists, crooks, traitors and con men.
Because Obama has shifted his position on every issue — we do NOT know his core values.
It’s just as valid as any poll you’re quoting, because the truth is—none of them matter. Only the votes on election day matter.
Gallup daily tracking has BO and McC tied. No June bump for BO. Hell, even Dukakis had a big lead over Bush the Father at this point. With a sitting Republican President as unpopular as GW, why in God’s name is the Republican nom tied with the Dem? I’ll tell you why…because this is a VERY weak nominee. THAT’S why he had to be carried across the finish line by the Washington elite….he is weak.
And Patriot Games ‘08 have not yet begun.
Yeah – and I guess that’s probably why you believed that Obama was going to beat Hillary in NH, MA, CA, OH, PA, and other states that Hillary eventually won big during the primaries.
Because THE POLLS told you so.
Now you think that those same inaccurate polls are going to predict an Obama presidency.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
You’re such a sucker.
Gallup Daily: Obama, McCain Still Tied, Now at 44%
The best you can point to is a McCain tie. So sad.
It beats trying to pimp that Newsweek “Poll” that polled mostly Democrats.
You people are true scum.
RCP: Obama 317 McCain 221
The truth hurts, huh? Your guy is gonna get crushed, and no amount of trashing me or Obama will save him, Uppity. Sorry:D
You know, NoMcCain, Dukakis & Kerry were way ahead at this point in their respective elections, too. Polls are meaningless at this point. But, if they make you feel happy, then go right ahead and delude yourself….”don’t worry, be happy…”
Whether or not you realize it, the tide has turned AGAINST Obama. The bloom is off the rose, and people are beginning to focus on his faults. By the Dem convention, very little excitement will be left for BO. And, in October, the big 527 guns will come out against him, and there will be nothing he can do. The Rep party has much much more money than the Dem party, since many Clinton supporters have left the party now, and will never donate to either BO or the party.
So, the most important poll is what the headline says on November 5: MC CAIN WINS!
I love it. Nothing to back you up so the only thing you can come up with is “the polls don’t matter.” Has it occurred to you that McCain is an old, tired candidate who lacks charisma and that he might actually lose ground as this thing goes on? His numbers were higher before the pathetic green backdrop speech and it’s only been downhill from there.
Saw an AP report about how Clinton supporters are “overwhelmingly” supporting BO. What the AP calls “huge” is just over 50%. What they don’t get into is the 24% that are voting for McCain. That extrapolates into 4,300,000 votes. That’s HUGE. That doesn’t count independants or republicans and given the last two elections, the difference. And seeing as though the last two wingnuts the DNC had running had huge leads up to the convention and went down quickly. And the 527s haven’t got their stuff going.
yet
Thanks for providing the numbers Kevin. It amazes me how in the tank the media is. Sure wish they would do their real jobs and save kissing a** for someone else.
quite welcome
the troll formerly known as democrat obviously took stats as a pass/fail at his local community college
If the Obamabots were smart enough to read and comprehend they would not be supporting Obama.
Are you still upset because Barbie dumped Ken for GI Joe ?
Who’s Barbie? Clinton? Um, she’s campaigning with him tomorrow.
I see you’ve set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
We knew he wasn’t American, didn’t we? If he doesn’t know who Barbie, Ken and GI Joe are, he’s definitely not from these parts.
Yep — probably a hairy guy living in a bunker in Gaza. We know how the corporatists Offshore everything — Axlerod probably got a good deal on this group of Obamabots for a day.
If they don’t know basic Americana like Barbie, Ken and GI Joe — FAILURE!!
Hey Axlerod — we demand a fresh bunch of trolls!
Here life has probably been threatened like most of us bloggers lives have been threatened.
You people are shit.
Her life has been threatened? I thought Hillary was tough:D
Lol…crushed in the polls??? Nice try but we do have eyes and are capable of reading.
You might also try learning how to spell your “leaders” name. It’s a good place to start in order to make yourself seem somewhat intelligent.
Sure, just show me a single recent national poll where McCain is ahead. Trailing in the national polls by an average of 6-7 points is not a recipe for winning. And that doesn’t even get to the swing states which I posted above.
And, yeah, I type fast sometimes, cut me some slack. Sheesh.
He should be ahead but by A LOT. The DEm. should win this election by a landslide. The fact he’s ahead by so little now just after being nominated (bump) and during summertime is troublesome.
Things will only tighten in the Fall…. That’s
pathetic…
He’s
dukakis mcgovernobama.And his followers are just as slimey.
Obama may have a small lead right now but at this point in time Kerry had a huge lead and we all know how that turned out.
Obama SHOULD be leading big. This SHOULD have been and COULD have been an easy year for the dems but unfortunately the dems decided to do what they do best…nominate a loser!
Wrong – Kerry and Gore’s leads were, on average, significantly less than Obama’s currently is. There are outliers here or there you can point to from every race in the past 50 years, but both of those were close races where they were rarely more than a few points ahead or behind their opponents.
A 317-194 lead in the electoral map IS a big lead. And all of this is before we factor in Obama’s expected huge cash advantage, and his massive advantage in organization thanks to the long primary campaign. He has organizations in all 50 states already in place, while the McCain camp is lagging. McCain wasted a lot of the time after he secured the nomination doing big dollar fundraisers with Bush – he’s still way behind on infrastructure.
That lead in the electoral vote count includes states like Virginia, Michigan, Indiana, Colorado, and Ohio going to Obama. They are all just a likely to go to McCain as they are to Obama. It also has Florida tied…which we all know McCain is going to get it.
Hmmm. His huge cash advantage didn’t help him against Hillary in PA, OH, IN, SD, WV, etc. She still ended up with more votes than he did, even with the media slamming her and slanting reports that it was all over. People still came out and voted for her. Not a good sign for your candidate.
Well then, when you put it like that, let’s just cancel the 2008 elections, install Hussein Obama as dictator and get rid of this whole messy “democracy” thing….
PUH-LEASE — his lead is less then Kerry’s was at this time in ‘04 — and we all know how that worked out — or, at least those of us who were actually voting age in ‘04 know how that worked out.
Yep – I remember VERY well how that turned out.
Kerry was the same spineless candidate that Obama is. But Obama’s alot worse off. Because at least John Kerry didn’t turn over half of the Democratic party against him, and the DNC didn’t cheat and steal the Democratic nomination for him (as far as I know). He won it after Howard Dean stupidly and single-handedly destroyed his own Presidential campaign.
Now, four years later, Dean and his den of cheaters and thieves have destroyed the Democratic party.
Most Democrats definitely wern’t crazy about Kerry, but he had enough experience as a Senator to handle the Presidency. Plus he had a stellar record in the military. And the DNC didn’t cheat & marginalize two states’ votes to get Kerry the Dem nom in 2004. Which is why the majority of Democrats rallied around Kerry early on that year and voted for him. And he STILL lost.
It still bothers me that Kerry didn’t fight for himself in Ohio that election year, where – once again – corruption took place in the inner cities where voters were going to choose Kerry. And Bush got Ohio – and the Presidency.
Now – in a year where the majority of Americans were going to vote for anybody but a Bush or a Republican – John McCain is going to win the Presidency. All thanks to the elite, extreme left-wingers in the Democratic party.
Yep, extreme liberals definitely know how to destroy an election.
Hell, I would be beating Hussein Obama if they polled twice as many people in the NoObamislamists party than Dems.
KOOLAID SNORTER!

See if you can read this troll…
dream on ,hillary has to stay a good democrat we on the other hand can vote for the non marxist of the two.we can vote for someone who has taken tough stands on principle,we can vote for someone who truley loves this country and fyi that person certainly is NOT barkey.
Go on over to TL and see them all angsting over Obambi’s low poll numbers. They’ve even come up with a method for reading the polls so the numbers don’t mean what they say.
noMcCain — why don’t you use the talking point? We need to get over it. Well we are not going to get over it. We will be here long after they stop paying you. I am looking forward to a McCain Presidency. He will know that 1/3 of his voters are Democrats and he will govern in a moderate way to keep us in the fold. I can’t wait to see the moan fest the Dean/Pelosi Democrats will get into when Obama loses not only the election but Congress as well.
This country has too many problems to elect this moaner. He will see enemies around every corner. He can’t work with anyone. He should just pick up his marbles and go home.
Its called confidence that McCain will be a good president for all the people. — Obama has had all the positive media in the world and yet he moans that he has enemies around every corner because he’s black–I am comfident McCain will win because he withstood real torture and he never moaned. Tell Obama he is so over. He can ring the racist bell once too often before nobody comes to the door.
Bite this Obama! NOBAMA!!
McCain has my vote. Take a look at the new video 6 minutes on;
http://countusout.wordpress.com
The esteemed NY Times did research on McCain’s birth in Panama and he was deemed a US Citizen….why can’t the MSM do the same on Obama?
What the hell is going on here?
Why hasn’t anyone challenged this? They went after McCain born to two United States citizens, on a Military base! His side did. We’ve known about this for how long, but no one has challenged it other than on blogs? Or is there something being done about it?
For once, I can’t add a thing more. You guys have said it all.
No, wait, I guess I could say “HOW DARE YOU!” to Obama. He’s every bit as bad as Bush. Biting his tongue my ASS. I’m so sick of him and his ilk. If America votes for him, they get what the deserve.
http://www.TheOtherDemocrats.com
He has to be worse than Bush.
Bush always said he didn’t agree with Dems.
Bush always ran on policies HE believed in.
Obama has kissed our babies, kissed our asses and now SCREWED THAT SAME ANATOMICAL ORIFICE.
To quote an old army buddy of mine…
“its not the getting f*cked all the time that I mind. Its that I never get a kiss afterward.”
Yes, but the rest of us don’t deserve it. I’m so tired of having horrid government because the majority of people in this country don’t have the sense of a goose!
Florida Dem — what happens if Obama becomes President and he doesn’t have to bite his tongue. Do people that disagree with him end up in detention?

Gallup Daily: Obama, McCain Still Tied, Now at 44%
Stability seen in last three nights of daily tracking
Obama is looking like a LOSER. He really needs Hill and her supporters lot more than she needs him. Hey the Financial Time Yesterday mention Unity is not in cards from what they see now Clintons supporters are not accepting the weakest LINK. His numbers are exploding.
PUMA
Again…numbers that matter:
Electoral-Vote.com:
Obama 317 McCain 194 Ties 27
RCP:
Barack Obama 317 John McCain 221
Obama has more support from Dems than McCain has from Repubs. There are not enough “PUMAs” to make the difference, sadly for you guys:D
11% of 18 million. Maybe in the next grade they will teach you how to do the math Sparky.
Ummm…not my math, just averages of all the polls done by EV and RCP. Since Obama is crushing McCain, I guess we can say that 11% of 18 million is not enough to make a difference. Can’t wait for that unity event tomorrow!:D
You obviously have no idea how the Electoral college system works.
These is the first time at the election rodeo for these bums. You can tell.
Polls don’t matter just like words don’t matter when your the party that’s hooked up with Diebold.
I believe they already declared McCain the winner a few months ago.
Uppity,
this one smells like “Democrat”
numbers and polls
It’s VERY obvious that this idiot doesn’t know how the Electoral College works.
NoMcCain:
Clearly you don’t understand what Math is; nor have a clue about politics.
HRC is a genious; simply the best !!
I am glad you are eating up tomorrow’s show: she’s putting it up just for fools like you.
LOL at you!!!
HAHAHAHA…maybe you can explain what it is that I don’t understand? I’m just posting the latest from RCP and Electoral-Vote, both of which have Obama far ahead. It’s also true that Obama will have a healthy money and organizational advantage which will kick in in the fall. He is setting out to register millions of new voters. I don’t see McCain doing anything similar.
And, please, let me in on Hillary’s secret plan. Should be entertaining…:D
hey sparky (rhymes with barky!) LOL
Wait till the obassole is LEGITIMATLY NOMINATED before you start buying the beers… The GOP is going to wipe the floor with him and his ~~~lovely~~~ mate.
Ok, you idiot. Keep thinking the PUMA/Just say No Deal coalition is small. Just keep chugging that Kool-Aid of your Precious. The Hangover come Nov. 5 is gonna be one heck of a douzie. You Bots will be writhing and sreaming in the streets like the “dark seekers” from the I Am Legend movie…”why didn’t the Precious win, why didn’t He win?” Uh, maybe it’s his nonexistent record, or his flip-flopping on every primary promise he made, or maybe his hateful racist, sexist comments and associates, or maybe his arrogance and spineless inability to move out of his teleprompter comfort zone or maybe (carpel tunnel here we go..) his desire to singlehandedly put race relations back 30 years, or his take over of the UnDemocratic party (aka:ONP) and move to that bastion of clean politics, Chicago….I could go on and on, but I am sure your videogame mentality and short-term attention span has already left you confused and sleepy.
Say g’nite gracie. McCAin all the way!
On one hand we have….polls from the most reputable polling operations showing Obama is doing just fine and has a healthy lead in the swing states despite the frenetic posts on NoQuarter.
On the other…some guy on a messageboard told me PUMA will bring Obama down!
Who do I believe?? God, this is tough…:D
Better go look at those poll numbers again.
The ‘read between the lines’ aspect of the AP article i cited earlier is interesting in that the spin is for BO, but when only 53% of hard-core democrats will vote for her party’s nominee, and 24% will vote for the republican nominee, that means that of 18 million, BO only picks up a little over 9.5 million, McCain picks up 4.3 million, and the remaining 4.1 million either go to nader, some other fringe candidate or stay home. When 04 was decided by 3.1 million votes and 00 by less than .5, and both democratic nominees had double digit poll leads some months prior to the election, I would not be too confident in polls taken over 4 months out from the election. But if the troll formerly known as democrat wants to keep on ‘enlightening’ us, more power to it.

AAforHill — yes they can use all the talking points they like but the fact remains that as long as they talk about us we have the power to turn this election. I expect them to have Hillary do a prime time speech trying to talk us into unifying behind Obama–It won’t work.
Watch as the months pass and the talking points change — they will be begging us to come back. By October we will all be getting gift certificates from Walmart–can’t we forgive and forget — come home, signed Howard Dean and Your Friends at the DNC.

Excerpt….
But until the certified paper birth document is produced — either by media pressure or a legal challenge in any state — the fact remains that Obama has not proven that he is a “natural born citizen” eligible to be President according to the Constitution.
in my opinion we should petition!
Denise — If Obama was not born in this country I think he has a problem with his school loans. Affirmative Action is only for Black Americans.
That’s a good thought. Florida should challenge him if only to be an a-hole back at him. What’s bama’s party going to do? Cut their half in half?
He bit his tongue three times? Is this comparable to the Muslim tradition of “I divorce you” three times (says the husband) and then the wife is cast out and beheaded or left to starve in the streets? HMMMM???
Not only is this idiot stupid, he also superstitious!
tongue biter, bed wetter, coke-head. Can we see Jr’s
medical records yet?
Just what oh what might they conceal?
How many times did Barry get prescription narcotics?
How many times did Barry try to get off the crack pony? Surely, someone as delicate as Barry would need a little pharm help to try.
Birth certificate, medical records, IL senate records, tax returns…. Barry sure does have a problem with misplacing paper, all right.
I thought he had great people around him to make sure things didn’t go missing?
Where um that stuff that done gone missin?
No, no, you misunderestimated!
The great people around him are there to make sure the paper does go missing.
Sick of the Obama Circus The great people around Obama were there to see these papers did go missing.
Well, in light of the fact we’ve seen no ‘whitey’ tape yet, I don’t know what else we can do except perhaps petition.
Don’t we have any Hawaii insiders on this board who can do some research? Oh, and perhaps a few in Vancouver ?
Come October, the repubs are going to open up a can of “whupass” on BO and we’ll see who moves ahead in the polls and wins by a landslide. The repubs are very good at being patient before attacking will full force.
Right now, BO is doing quite well on his own. He’s his own worst enemy, not to mention the country’s. Just give him enough rope and he will hang himself. He is already.
Until then, I wouldn’t put too much stock in what the corporate press and polls say about how well BO is doing and that the Clinton supporters will come home to the party and support him in November.
Hillary has to campaign with the idiot because she promised she would, but her supporters don’t have to follow and we aren’t. We are standing up for democracy, which was raped by the DNC, while BO stood by and watched.
No way, noObama.
the tape that is supposed to come out AFTER Obama is the nominee? Why would they release it while there is still time for the SDs do what they were made for?
Great post Susan btw!
Obama should have phoned Hillary Clinton the moment the Jeremiah Wright tapes came out and negotiated a VP spot on the ticket – leveraging he could possibly beat her and both spend millions in the process. Obama needed years of distance between his racist church, for starters.
Ironically, Obama has wrecked his own career, as he will go down in flames this fall. “Bit my tongue” goes to show his astounding level of self-indulgence.
I guess Larry Sinclair is glad that the only thing BO bit was his own tongue!
E-E-W-W-W-W-W!!!
of course he bit his tongue. do you think he used every personal attack against her the repubs would have used? They would have dredged up every Clinton scandal, every skeleton in the closet, all of Bill’s new business friends…
say what you want about the DNC or Obama’s “thuggish” supporters or sexism in the media, but I’m suprised Obama can still speak he bit his tongue so much.
Yeah like “if they bring a knife to the fight we will bring a gun”? He really needs a good Joe Louis uppercut to make him really bite his anti American tongue. How would you like this guy to be your local Boy Scout Leader?
And he needs to give credit to the quote as it was lifted from The Untouchables
Kevin — I thought it was Bette Davis who said it in Of Human Bondage.
he can’t speak… uhh hmm uhhhhhh
Hey Genuis,
Instead of still obsessing over Clinton, why not defend your candidate?
Is it really okay with you that he is directly connected to so much scandal (Rezko, Blagoviech)?
How about his campaign finance reform agenda (where he collects money from known terrorists and lobbyist’s (through the backdoor) while lying about it AND takes back his own pledge to use public financing to combat the very problem he condones and uses to his advantage?
Or do you support him on his judgment alone? The judgment that allowed him to listen to Anti American hate speech for 20 years? His spiritual mentors Wright and Pfleger make their views painfully clear within minutes of hearing either one speak -except to Obama, who didn’t know.
Or maybe it’s his policies that affect you so deeply, the one’s like Clinton, right? Like FISA, partial birth abortion, NAFTA,the Iraq war, which side of those is he on again, do you even know- because he sure doesn’t.
How about his foreign policy specifically, he won’t debate Clinton or McCain- just wants to sit down with his terrorist comrades and have tea, I suppose. Considering that lack of debating skills,is he really who you want negotiating the safety and peace of the entire world or even our nation? Have you even wondered why he receives endorsements from the likes of Hamas, FARC, Khadafi, etc. Does that not give you pause- those should be the last people on earth America should take advice from- You know, the voice of Democracy for the World and all-.
How about his friends and associates, does it bother you that there is an overwhelming and undeniable Anti American sentiment prevalent in all?(Ayers, Dorhn, Auchi, Wright, Pfleger, Odinga,Frank Marshall Davis, etc.)
When will even one of you Obama droids answer why these (and many, many other )atrocities are okay with you????????????????
Most excellent points!
He bit his tongue?!? Why? Because people were telling the truth about him? Probably. Well let’s hope with all that tongue biting he’ll bite it off and choke on it so we don’t have to hear the lies spewing forth day in and out.
He should bend over and bite something else.
(This comment is out of character for me, but sometimes you just have to let it out.)
Purging like this is good for the soul.
Can you come up with another?
Thank you.
Amazing that the dirtiest, slimiest politician of my lifetime screams about HIM having to bite HIS tongue! He who did all the race-baiting and outright lying this entire campaign. No, Gutter Ball, you weren’t the one forced to bite their tongue. That would be Hillary, the one you slimed and lied about for over a year. Hillary is the one who wasn’t allowed to defend herself or to say anything at all about you. And she still won! That’s what you can’t stand – the fact that she won anyway, and that the only reason you are standing where you are is that the whole party cheated and fixed it for you. How does that make you feel about yourself, that the only way you could win was to cheat?
Never mind that BO and his campaign relentlessly smeared Clinton as a serial liar.
Nix that – I’ll never forget.
cognitive dissonance… didn’t you feel cognitive dissonance writing that comment? When did Obama slime and lie about Hillary? When did Hillary restrain herself from criticizing Obama? and when did Hillary win??
That’s one of the places where anti-Obama mythology breaks with reality.
I’ve asked here dozens times for specific examples of when Obama was disrespectful to Hillary Clinton. Since he “slimed” her so often, and “lied about her” so regularly, providing an example would surely be the easiest thing in the world.
Never have I been given a single, solitary instance.
The instances when he has complimented her, commended her, praised her, and spoken highly of her are obvious. Before, during, and after the primary.
There’s a rapidly growing, viral, anti-Obama mythology. His supposed racism and sexism are part of it; his presumed political corruption is part of it; his Manchurian Candidate personal origins are part of it; his closet Islamism is part of it; his secret funding from shadowy Orwellian puppet-masters is part of it; as is his imaginary incessant abuse of Hillary Clinton. All these things are articles of the faith. The only thing thusfar lacking is an assertion that Obama is the Beast of Revelations, poised to usher in the End of the World in 2012. (If that one catches on, remember you heard it here first!)
With a little thought, I could probably work up a 12-Point Creed.
flippin her off is a good start you fucking asshole
A nice, thoughtful response. And personalized, too!
As evidence goes, I rank that slow-motion YouTube moment right up there with photographs of big foot and the face of Jesus that miraculously appeared on Mario Rubio’s tortilla.
Please try again.
supposid racsism???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG are you too too too stupid. No wait YOU were sitting next to him for 20 years in the filth they called a church
Are you kidding?? He gave her the finger twice at his now-famous Jay-Z speeches. That’s just starters. You’re likeable enough? Periodically when she’s down the claws come out? That doesn’t count all the race-baiting his surrogates did for him without so much as a murmur from Mr. Hopey Unity. Puleeeeze.
“You’re likeable enough” and “Periodically when she’s down the claws come out” don’t strike me as being in any way hateful or derogatory. They don’t even strike me as em>unfriendly. Very mild exchanges, in the world of politics. Nothing more than friendly swipes in the heat of battle. If you think those two seriously dislike one another, you’re more than a little off target. There’s mutual respect.
Obama can’t be held accountable for the thoughtless comments of some of his supporters, any more than Hillary can or should be held accountable for some of the truly vicious things said about Obama by some of hers. They don’t own these people. They don’t control them. Sometimes things have gotten ugly. Neither Obama nor Clinton are to blame for that.
allie — how bout him singing I GOT 99 PROBLEMS BUT THE BITCH AIN’T ONE after he won the Iowa Caucuses. Thats class or his wife saying she would like to scratch Bill Clinton’s eyeballs out. Nice people.
Even IF you refused to believe he flipped her off, because he was pissed HE did so badly in the debate, he DID brush the “dirt” off his shoulders, look on the bottom of his shoe and talk about how Hillary twisted the knife in his back during that same speech. and the crowd knew exactly what he was doing and he kept going.
“Never have I been given a single, solitary instance.”
You have CONSISTENTLY been given many instances.
But you will deny them to your grave.
You know why?
In yours (and the rest of the Obama spawn’s) twisted, crazy minds:
black is white,
yellow is blue,
east is west,
west is east,
right is wrong, and
wrong is right.
So for Hillary supporters to, for the 102,254,686,454,864,312th time, point out the BLATANT and OBVIOUS hatred and disrespect shown towards the Clintons during the primaries will now be a complete and thorough waste of time.
Because as Obamabots, you’re not a supporter of a Presidential nominee. You’re a sick and crazy cult.
And crazy people can neither understand nor accept truth and reason.
How about in SC when Obama ran an ad, saying “Hillary will say anything and do anything to win”
just because she ran an ad using his own words about Reagan?
Everytime I hear someone whine that Hillary said things in the primary that the GOP can juse against Obama, I think NOTHING is close to what he said with just that ad.
Funny now, I don’t understand why he is having her campaign for him, if she is such a liar and racist, why would he think her campaigning would help him?
Boy, would I like to have been a fly on the wall to hear the dust-ups between BO and Keith Ellison and BO and Diane Watson at the Black Caucus! (And wonder who else!)
I just read that Sean Combs yelled “Obama or Die!” at the BET Awards. Well, there’ll be even more bitter, gun-clinging folk around now that the Supremes have FINALLY shown a green light on the Second Amendment! But, of course, all we really have to do is CAST A BALLOT, Barack–and it won’t be for you!
Hillary or Mac!
Look I am an African-American woman born from Little Rock, ARK and supported Clinton. Obama is a wolf dressed in sheep clothing. He is a apostate (maybe) muslim who probably was not “naturally born” in the U. S. to even be a candidate for president. (like the piece Larry Johnson)
Do you see what is happening in Zimbabwe during that election? Now, you know how the God Damn America crew of Obama works.
This man is a phony and people who are using their right minds knows that you have to know something to run the toughest job in the world. People made the mistake with Bush and looked what happened. In 2006, we though the DNC learned their lesson but the gay Pelosi, “ahhhh” Dean, and black nationalists crew didn’t.
I am a lawyer who graduated from law school. What Obama is doing is like this example: After graduating from law school, I am going to announce that I will be running to be Dean of the law school or Chanchellor of the University. I have not held a professorship position or did anything meaningful except graduate from law school. Am I qualified to be taken seriously? Hell No.
Obama is the affirmative action candidate (e.g. racial quota system that is unconstitutional). He makes Uncle Clarence Thomas look legitimate even though he replaced a far superior justice named Thurgood Marshall who actually argued before the United States Supreme Court several times.
The problem with Obama is not about race. He is a car salesman really selling a lemon (himself). He is smooth but a a**hole who can’t know anything because he does not have practical hands-on experience to do something. Clinton could have run in 2004 but she knew that she needed to pass legislation in Congress to be considered legitimate. What did Obama do? Not do a meaningful event even though he was appointed for the committee overseeing Afghanistan and help with some “ethics.”
Older blacks know the deal and are privately supporting Clinton. These younger blacks (or brainwashed blacks who are older or intimitated) have no clue that the 2008 Version of Nat Turner Rebellion is about to get his butt handed to him in Nov-08. Let McGovern work again.
I really appreciate your comments. It’s hard to feel good about all this somedays, and I needed to read your comment today. Thanks.
Thanks for a common sense view.
You forgot to include the younger whites who are the reincarnation of Ayers/Dorhn, the white terrorists freaks, are also supporting Obama. Nickles comes to mind. Remember him and his friend Koresh?
Also, Hillary Clinton had made a promise to her constituents that she would serve out her first term in the Senate. She kept her word. Obama made the same promise to the people of Illinois, but…well, you know the rest. Obama is not an honorable man.
Objective analysis indeed! Well said.
Thank you for keeping it real Objective Analysis!
I’ll be glad when this Obama nightmare is over in November.
Our neighbor is an older black man, and NOT an Obama supporter. He is disgusted with how the younger black generations have undone everything his generation fought for. He sees through it. It’s not about race, it’s about being qualified.
oh yeah and when did Obama cheat? he followed the rules of the compitition as they were laid out at the beginning. cheating would be trying to change the goalposts halfway because you forgot to compete in caucus states.
YOU read the God damn rules
Rule 11.A. of the Delegate Selection Rules for the 2008 Democratic National Convention states the following:
11. TIMING OF THE DELEGATE SELECTION PROCESS
A. No meetings, caucuses, conventions or primaries which constitute the first determining stage in the presidential nomination process (the date of the primary in primary states, and the date of the first tier caucus in caucus states) may be held prior to the first Tuesday in February or after the second Tuesday in June in the calendar year of the national convention. Provided, however, that the Iowa precinct caucuses may be held no earlier than 22 days before the first Tuesday in February; that the Nevada first-tier caucuses may be held no earlier than 17 days before the first Tuesday in February; that the New Hampshire primary may be held no earlier than 14 days before the first Tuesday in February; and that the South Carolina primary may be held no earlier than 7 days before the first Tuesday in February. In no instance may a state which scheduled delegate selection procedures on or between the first Tuesday in February and the second Tuesday in June 1984 move out of compliance with the provisions of this rule.
We already know that Florida and Michigan violated Rule 11.A. by moving their primaries to a date before the first Tuesday in February. There is no argument there, but what about Iowa, New Hampshire, and yes, South Carolina too.
Rule 11.A specifically set the date for the primaries & caucuses for those three states as “no earlier than 22 days before the first Tuesday in February” (Iowa), “no earlier than 14 days before the first Tuesday in February” (New Hampshire), and “no earlier than 7 days before the first Tuesday in February” (South Carolina).
Iowa held their caucuses on January 3rd. That’s more than 22 days before the first Tuesday in February. New Hampshire held their primary on January 8th. That’s more than 17 days before the first Tuesday in February. And South Carolina held their primary on January 26th. That’s more than 7 days before the first Tuesday in February.
Under Rule 11.A., five states were in violation of the Democratic National Committee’s Delegate Selection Rules, and as such, all five states should have been punished under Rule 20.C.1.a.
Violation of timing: In the event the Delegate Selection Plan of a state party provides or permits a meeting, caucus, convention or primary which constitutes the first determining stage in the presidential nominating process to be held prior to or after the dates for the state as provided in Rule 11 of these rules, or in the event a state holds such a meeting, caucus, convention or primary prior to or after such dates, the number of pledged delegates elected in each category allocated to the state pursuant to the Call for the National Convention shall be reduced by fifty (50%) percent, and the number of alternates shall also be reduced by fifty (50%) percent. In addition, none of the members of the Democratic National Committee and no other unpledged delegate allocated pursuant to Rule 8.A. from that state shall be permitted to vote as members of the state’s delegation. In determining the actual number of delegates or alternates by which the state’s delegation is to be reduced, any fraction below .5 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and any fraction of .5 or greater shall be rounded up to the next nearest whole number.
Yes, you read that right; under Rule 20.C.1.a., Florida, Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, and South Carolina would have all lost their super delegates and had their pledged delegates reduced by half since they all violated Rule 11.A.
However, Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina weren’t punished fairly. In fact, they weren’t punished at all.
And what about Florida & Michigan?
Well, we all know what happened to them.
Instead of strictly adhering to Rule 20.C.1.a. and reducing their pledged delegates by 50%, the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee decided to take it a step further. The DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee exercised the authority granted to them by Rules 20.C.5. and 20.C.6. which allowed them to “impose sanctions the Committee deems appropriate.” And what were those sanctions the Committee deemed appropriate? Stripping two of the largest states in the union of all their votes at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
Ladies & Gentlemen, this is what happens when the rules aren’t applied equally and fairly. And as I said before, this mess is a result of the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee not applying the rules equally and fairly.
So, the next time someone starts talking about the rules, might I suggest two courses of action:
1.) Read the damn rules first!
-and-
2.) Let them know that the rules were bent to allow for Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina to keep their preferred first-in-the-nation status.
Oh, and don’t forget to add that Obama voluntarily and short-sightedly removed his name from the Michigan ballot.
Yet that bastard was not only handed the “Uncommitted” ballots by the DNC, he was also handed four of the delegates that Hillary won fair and square.
It’s a shame that Obama and the DNC had to resort to CHEATING to get him the nomination.
Cheating is bussing people in from other states to caucus, over 1000 reports were turned in to Texas about the cheating Obama people did there, from locking Clinton supporters out, stealing the paperwork, not checking to be sure people were eligable to caucus by voting in the primary, filling out papaerwork for people that were NOT there and turning it in. ect just because no one would do anything about it and the MSM kept quiet about all the caucus cheating doesn’t mean it did not happen.
the RBC VIOLATED ROOL 13A, our CHARTER, to GIVE 4 HRC MI Dels to Uhhbama
he does NOT have enough PLEDGED DELS to WIN the nomination, the SDs dont vote until the convention, his CROWNING is premature and the PUSH to get him over a made up line he didnt even cross is cheating
he is an illegitimate nominee who was selected not elected
go to the caucus cheating blogs
NC Uhhbama workerd were IN THE FRAKKIN POLLING PLACES..wiht little signs
the GARY IN Mayor tried to STEAL IN, LIVE ON CNN
As he drives his tacxpayer subsidized Hummer around Gary busing HS kids on taxpayer money to vote Uhhbama..he was stuffing ballots and EVEN CNN acwledged it..
your candidiate is a sham, millions of us WILL vote McCain.
the only question is whether Uhhbama and his crooked Ss crew and Combine and Cabal can STEAL the GE the way they STOLE the nomination
with the full cooperation and in other cases co-option of the media and local government
God willing the GOP having once pushed to steal their own election, can stop this crew, cause they are way scarier and have no frakkin discernable ideology other than taking the biggest payoff with both hands
ohhhh that reminds me :
grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
new car cavier daydream
think I’ll buy me a football team
sing it team PUMA…
Obama is foul. I’m sure that Diane Watson and a number of other CBC members didn’t buy his crap for one minute, especially since everything I’ve read makes it sound like he was talking down to them.
Just the fact there was such a juicy leak about the meeting tells one it DID NOT go down well with them. They see him for what he is.
that is a recurrent phrase now
whever the One stumbles and says what he REALLY thinks ie get over it, they scramble to repeat the phrase ad nauseum to try and take heat off him
pathetic
Electoral vote…Obama will lose FL, OH and PA….he would then have to make up 8-10 red state wins to make up for those 68 electoral votes. I am trying to save him the embarrassment….Obama McGovern
“Look I am an African-American woman born from Little Rock, ARK and supported Clinton.”
who cares? we can’t see you. if your analysis is objective then the content of your argument should be enough. And its not like Hillary supporters aren’t known to impersonate 62 year old black women.
Obama cultists impersonate humans all of the time … like you, here.
and what the hell are you baracknophobia? Some one from Canada, who is really a Ron Paul supporter?
tampagurl –Obama hired his trolls from Palestine.
You dumbass.
I’m African American too – and I’m not voting for that spineless, inexperienced crook Obama either.
There are more African Americans that aren’t voting for Obama. But they’re being ignored by the MSM because they’re Clinton supporters. And we have been turned on by the majority in our community – being called “sell-outs” and “uncle Toms” and “self-haters” because of it.
Never mind that 18 million people voted for Hillary, wanting her to lead our country because her HEART wants to lead our country.
How will we ever survive the coming months?
McCain in Winning FL, OH, within 4 in PA…and get this has closing within 6 in MI….lol, Obama is going to LOSE BIG
AA4Hill — from your mouth to God’s ears. If Obama loses the DNC will have to move back to Washington DC and this whole bunch of Ultra Liberal Fascists will be gone from the Democratic Party. All of a sudden we will here about all the members of the DNC who were furious with the Democrats for gaming the system for Obama. Winners have a millions friends. Losers stand alone.
He couldn’t have bitten it too hard, ‘cuz the idiot is still talking. ” He’s pretty direct” ?? I don’t think so! He is a bamboozler. He changes the topic or WORST he engages in the morally- empty behavior of the ends justify the means. WTF is that? To prevent John McCain from appointing sexist judges, he had to engage in sexism against Hillary? WTF!
Oh yeah- everytime I hear Obama speak, the sound track to that scene from the “Breakfast Club” runs thru my mind- “Answer the question. C’mon! Answer the question. Yeah Claire Answer the question. Why don’t you want to answer the question? ANSWER the Question C’mon “
actualluy he’s got 5-17 point leads in Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin according to Quinnipac
Quinnipac…HaHaHa.. And I
baracknophobia A week is a year in politics. Wait till the Republicans get their game on.
Please tell me what Obama said that was sexist.
You aren’t important enough for me to write that answer AGAIN. Go read the board you lazy slug.
Uppity:
What’s your guess of these guys IQ? They seem borderline retarded…
I.Q. or E.Q.? Immaturity plays a huge role in the responses of most trolls.
in a minute sweetie. I’ll tell you in a minute. Now shut up and go away
We’re really getting tired of educating you Obamaidiots. Everyday the same old questions. Just google Obama sexist remarks. Here, I’ll get you started.
1) Obama saying Hillary is “likable enough” during the NH debate and looking down his nose at her constantly.
2) Obama tells female factory worker in Allentown- “You look like you might be a dancer… You’re gorgeous.”
3) “Sen. Barack Obama approached first overflow in the parking lot outside of the Scranton town hall, and immediately went to Denise Mercuri, a pharmacist from Dunmore who was wearing a Hillary Clinton button. She held an Obama button in her hand, and he asked what he needed to do to get her to wear his instead of his rival’s. “What do I need to do? Do you want me on my knees?” he asked. He then conceded, keeping with his flirty trend of the day (see earlier report), “I’ll give you a kiss.”
4) Jake Tapper’s list of Obama’s sexist references to Clinton such as “You challenge the status quo and suddenly the claws come out.” and Language such as “when she’s feeling down” “periodically” she “launches attacks.”
5) Called a female report “sweetie” while ducking her question.
don’t forget the cell phone buzzing…
fucking pig!
When talking about his wife juggling family and career, he adds the tag line “…and she looks good doing it.” He doesn’t get it.

Great dr No ad campaign by McCain.
Yeah I laughed when the other day BHO was spouting off how drilling offshore would take 30 years to come to the pump! (try a year possibly less!). Bull shit!!! I work in the oil field. And trust me, this is such a ridiculous statement, but it is typical of the fiction BHO spews and the MSM NEVER calls him out on or challenges. He just pulls stuff out of his ass!
It will take 10 years and only add less than one percent to world supply. In other words, it won’t do anything but make money for the oil company.
Obama distances himself from his middle initial.
The NYTimes reports that “B.H.O.” shorthand is frowned upon. Here’s Jake Tapper:
Trolls think the H stands for this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnHksDFHTQI
He’s sooooo insecure. YIKES!!!! Why didn’t he changed his name LONG ago if he’d be such a sissy now about it?
I wonder what does Obama think is wrong with it?
Frowned upon??? Barack: Change your name if you are so ashamed of it that are unable to own it !!!
Just think about the history books:
“Pres. Barack –middle name not to be pronounced– Obama….”
WHAT A CLOWN !!!!!!
And he insults more Muslims with the name “Hussein.” But I guess that’s better than insulting Whites.
Soon we won’t be allowed to look him in the eye, or address him as anything other than “his excellency.”
Doesn’t B O stand for stinky under arms?
Obama equals stinky BO.
He bit his tongue? About what? He is a huge baby who needs everyone else to clean up after his gaffes, naive and dishonest statements.
Any other politician would have been buried long ago with his list of associations and lies.
The DNC elite is going to age themselves 10 years in the next 6 months covering for him.
Re his being sexist:
Giving her the finger in front of his supporters is sexist and disgustingly disrespectful (let’s go to the videotape), so is wiping her off his shoulders, saying “you’re likeable enough, Hillary”
“Periodically…when she’s down…she lashes out.”
Did you forget that one, I didn’t
How about “the claws ome out”
You would never speak about a male politician in this way.
Worse than that, he implies that her supporters are racist an that the Clintons are, too.
He is not fit to be anywhere near the White House.
i’d like to know where you’re getting numbers from AA, cause Mccain is getting stomped in PA.
You quote OLD polls that where use to distract that Larry Sinclair guys NPC.. hahaha Quinnipac lol…wow you guys will try any BS….Latest Poll by POLLSTERS..not papers like Newsweek, LA Times, but Pollster McCain is beating Obama in FL, OH, and with 4 in PA and 6 in MI…please stop with the BS
LARRY SINCLAIR IS IN HIDING! HERE IS A 38 MINUTE RADIO INTERVIEW HE DID LAST NIGHT! I DO BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND THE THINGS HE REVEALS ABOUT HIS ARREST VERY, VERY INTERESTING!

THE LATEST ATTACKS AND ABUSE OF OFFICIAL POWER BY THE OBAMA CAMP
Posted by Larry Sinclair on Wednesday, June 25, 2008
I will not be online due to a connection problem and am getting this posted through the assistance of my host.
The following shows that the Delaware matter is nothing more than a vindictive attack by the Obama Camp those in powerful places who support Barack Obama’s dirty Chicago Style Politics.
On June 16 and 17, 2008 two letters from the Social Security Administration were mailed to my Duluth home stating that my disability and medical benefits had been terminated for the following reasons:
“Our records show that the following warrant for your arrest was issued for a parole or probation violation:”
Issued by: New Castle County Superior Court
N King Street, Ste 500
Wilmington, DE 19801
Date of Warrant: February 5, 2008
Type of crime: probation or parole violation
Warrant Number: U708000607
Originating case number: U708000607
NCIC Number: W283822252
What is so telling about this is the following:
1. I am not now nor have I ever been on probation or parole from the State of Delaware.
2. I have not ever been charged with, tried nor convicted of any crime in the state of Delaware
3. The information contained in this letter does not match the case number indicated on the court documents dated June 23, 2008 from the “alleged” warrant used to arrest me by DC Metro Police on June 18, 2008.
I am not on any probation or any parole from any State or Jurisdiction of any kind nor have I been since my Colorado Parole was discharged on May 5, 2000.
It is just amazing how I am being targeted with non-stop manufactured warrants and charges which only surfaced after I began making public my claims against Barack Obama.
Even more interesting is Social Securities letter being dated the exact same dates that the DC Metro Police and the National Press Club security director begin organizing their plan to take me into custody on a non-existent “Fugitive from Justice” warrant.
THIS ACTION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COLORADO MATTER AS PER SSA OWN PROCEDURES. SO ANY CLAIMS BY OTHER BLOGGERS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ACTION ARE NOTHING MORE THAN THEIR TRYING TO APPEAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN THEY ARE. THIS ACTION WAS DONE BY OFFICIALS CONNECTED TO THE OBAMA CAMP AND THE DATE OF THE SSA LETTER SUPPORTS THIS.
Pssst … breakout for prisoner of conscience Larry Sinclair is scheduled for 0900 … repeat: 0900.
Bring kilts.
Pssst…can we get Rezko too?
i’m calling the fbi, I found whitey bulger!!!
There’s a reward and everything
i’d start running
I’d really like to know what Obama was thinking when he bit his tongue. It’s time to get to know the real Barack.
BO’s toungue says’ “BITE ME” ?
What I have witness are the times BO has not followed his toungues advice.
Now what I want to know is if he had NOT done so what would he have said? I thought I had heard it all from the igit BO.
We have seen his inability to show any restraint, so those all those ummm’s and ahhh’s are a result of giving himself a toungue lashing?
So his sifting policy is a “slip of the toungue”?
Sorry I have Groucho Marx talking in my head….
“Oh, it’s right on the edge of my tongue” Groucho:”Well, stick your tongue out”
“Now there’s a man with an open mind — you can feel the breeze from here!”
He bit his tongue? Obviously, NOT ENOUGH!!!! Maybe while he was at it he should have bit off his middle finger too.
Obambi is a big, whiny, cry baby who consistently and repeatedly blames everyone else around him for his troubles. First, the race card, now the victim card. It is an easy decision not to vote for him come November.
Plan A: Clinton
Plan B: McCain
name one time Quinnipac has been wrong. you guys were all over it when Hillary was winning. and who are these pollsters by the way? i love the way you guys keep cherry picking information.
You can hardly compare Quinnipac’s primary polls with the ge ones. The MSM raises questions about many of the polling procedures, specifically them polling more dems than any other group.
I can’t wait to see BO lose. It’s gonna be fun.
I know the feeling of doing our best to speak out against the crude, lewd comments made against HRC during the campaign. On one so called Democratic Uh huh forum we HRC supporters spoke out about this and were met with all sorts of name calling and many HRC supporters on this one site were written too and asked to stop being so negative against Obama. Some did not and were banned. I tried to fight the good fight while the obama folks were calling HRC names that only a drunken sailor would say. Well, you guessed it. I was banned from this Democratic Uh huh forum.
Do not know the author of the following but it is still true today as it was on March 18th, 2008. ” If Obama believed any of what he is saying then WHY did he ever allow the racial divisiness his campaign launched against Hillary and Bill Clinton? Why didn’t he fire Jesse Jackson Jr. when he used the racial card against Hillary? The fact is that Obama can give a good speech, but that is all he has done. He dosesn’t live up to his words. They are empty BS.
Barrack Obama either needs to learn how to Bite His Tongue Correctly so we can stop hearing his lies or he needs to answer all of the questions which have been asked of him.
Deep down he believes this – and then he justifies his own sexism by truly believing the Clintons were racist toward him.
Just like Nixon’s “I am not a crook” told us all he was a crook, Obama continues to make revealing statements:
Nice use of the passive voice “that, in turn, has led to a confirmation that I have a steady temper.” WTF? Confirmation?
Wait, didn’t Hillary say that first? About not wanting the center of attention but wanting to do the work?
What compression:
“Never mind that the media gave Obama a pass for his sexist remarks and for playing the race card while incessantly scrutinizing everything that Bill and Hillary Clinton said.”
Playing the gender card and decrying the race card in one sentence!
I just have to ask everyone — why do you engage the trolls? i saw a long time ago on these blogs when you do not comment back to them they leave and the blog comment section is a much nicer place to be.
I agree…please don’t feed the trolls.
WE WILL REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER
McCain ‘08 (no matter who the dem VP is)
Polls are meaningless. No pollster has ever contacted me…I am on the do not call list as I expect most people are…let’s just wait until November 5, 2008 and see who wins.
This says almost 1/2 of Clinton’s supporters will not support Obama…more than I thought actually. Means almost 9 million Dem votes lost…hope it stays that way. I am very interested in seeing how much money Obama will raise this month. I’m thinking he can hardly afford the kool-aid anymore.
The AP-Yahoo News poll, conducted by Knowledge Networks, is part of an ongoing study that tracks the attitudes and opinions of a scientifically selected group of more than 2,000 Americans to see how their political views evolve over the course of the campaign.
The poll found 53 percent of the Democrats who favored Clinton for the nomination two months ago now back Obama for president. That’s an improvement from April, when only 40 percent of Clinton supporters said they would back Obama over McCain.
“That’s not the tongue that I knew….”
“I can no more disown my tongue than I can my left testicle…”
LOL!!
Did Obama bite his tongue many times before or after he flipped Hillary off…only to have his supporters insist that the street flip was only a movement to scratch his face???? Do tell. He is so totally Presidential.
Good evening all;
Harp, B from Bloomington & beepop, you three gave me my laugh for today. Obama, our Forked Tongue Nominee. LOL

The only reason Obama bit his tongue was because his head is so firmly planted up his rear end.
Newflash for O-Waffle:
We are OVER IT Barry! We have moved on from the DNC & moved on to John McCain! See how easy we Hillary supporters GET OVER IT! Oh…and one things for sure we are defenitely GETTING OVER YOU BARRY!!
PUMA!
You bit your tongue? You should have bitten it off. Let’s see what you have to say in Unity tomorrow, when you realize, after looking at how stuck you are in the polls, that your charisma was your own myth. The only person who made this race exciting is the one who made you bite your tongue. Turns out a fine mind with well thought out solutions is more exciting than a fancy talker. And the people know it. And now so do you.

Obama the towering intellect.
I was going to say something about this this morning but decided not to. I noticed Nancy Pelosi commenting on Obama’s towering intellect and Gretta agreed. It seemed pointed to me, and now I know, he is getting a make over same as Michelle. He wants to dodge the dumb as a stump label, that comes from too much drug use, at least I, ah, um, ah, think, ah, so.
Hillary humiliated him in the last debate and he dodged her from then on. So here is what Obama wants us to believe:
Obama is a towering intellect and could have dusted Clinton in any debate but he just had to “bite his tongue” out of respect for Hillary.
So your reasons that Obama is sexist are…
1) Obama saying Hillary is “likable enough” during the NH debate and looking down his nose at her constantly.
WELL HOW IS THAT SEXIST? IT IS DISMISSIVE, AND SHE IS A WOMAN, BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER GENDER. AT ALL.
2) Obama tells female factory worker in Allentown- “You look like you might be a dancer… You’re gorgeous.”
AND IF CLINTON TOLD SOMEONE “YOU LOOK LIKE A BODYBUILDER, YOU’RE RIPPED” YOU’D THINK IT WAS SEXIST?
3) “Sen. Barack Obama approached first overflow in the parking lot outside of the Scranton town hall, and immediately went to Denise Mercuri, a pharmacist from Dunmore who was wearing a Hillary Clinton button. She held an Obama button in her hand, and he asked what he needed to do to get her to wear his instead of his rival’s. “What do I need to do? Do you want me on my knees?” he asked. He then conceded, keeping with his flirty trend of the day (see earlier report), “I’ll give you a kiss.”
IF BEING FLIRTY IS SEXIST, WE’RE GOING TO LIVE IN A COLD, UNFRIEDNDLY WORLD VERY SOON.
4) Jake Tapper’s list of Obama’s sexist references to Clinton such as “You challenge the status quo and suddenly the claws come out.” and Language such as “when she’s feeling down” “periodically” she “launches attacks.”
OH PLEASE.
5) Called a female report “sweetie” while ducking her question.
SWEETIE???
really?
you’re mad because of sweetie?
JOHN MCAIN CALLED HIS WIFE A C$NT!!!!!!!!!
Too bad he didn’t bite his tongue clean off because frankly, I don’t want to hear another word, another syllable from this man. Take your faux surprise and irritation somewhere else.
Click, click, click.
That’s the sound of my heels walking away, far away. See you in November when maybe, “I’ll get over it.”

“Obama saying Hillary is “likable enough” during the NH debate and looking down his nose at her constantly.”
What wild insanity.
The question was insulting to Hillary. When is “likability” a valid criteria on which to chose a president. His answer was a put down of the questioner and so a defense of her, and of us– from having our fates determined by such inanity.
He should have “bit his tongue” before making the statement about using guns and knives during his speech in Philly. Is he that ignorant about violence in urban areas?
Obama filters everything through his own ego and the Repubs will have a field day with that weakness during the GE.
Evelyn — I just listened to the Larry Sinclair Interview. Are we still in the USA? I can’t believe what they are doing to this man. Wonder if Obama is biting his tongue over this.
S. Hall – I was wondering the same thing when I heard it. I donated to him, since they have cost him his return ticket and taken his only source of income away for the time being. I am sure that Obama hasn’t biten anything over anything. He is such a LIAR and I can’t wait for the World to find out that Larry is telling the truth. Anyone that has gone through what he has for over a year, has to be telling the truth! I was glad to hear Jeff Rense ask people to donate to him. He has more class than the MSM!
I bit my tongue … this sure says something about his leadership and courage. Weak.
Obama is such an asshole.
I’ve got news for Obama. Most HRC supporters have more than had the bite my tongue experience—and it just keeps going on and on. The Obama camp will not stop its dissing, digging, and dragging.
yeah, if at least five polls say he’s ahead, it must false. and what a coincidink that everyone who asks a straight question ends gets banned.
you guys are funny.
that’s why i love coming here.
oh and FREE LARRY!
He “bit his tongue”..on whatabout what? Hillary also bit her tongue so I don’t feel bad.
Hillary wasn’t allowed to criticize him, because it might “damage” him..Poor thing so fragile
He , bit his tongue. Oh poor, poor Barry.
Leave Barry aloooooooooooooone!

John McBush – Larry is free, or I should say he is out of jail. I am beginning to wonder if he will ever be free. The only way I can see that happening is for someone to investigate his story, so the people of the USA knows he is telling the truth. Then we can send him back to Chicago, his gangster, terrorists and America hating friends, plus his “down low and dirty” life style!!
Got a letter from Barry today asking for – what else – $$$$
So, I went onto Hillary’s site and contributed again, then went over to the PUMA site where they have images of PUMA monopoly money for printing, and sent it off to him in an envelope, paid for by his campaign.
Gonna do that every time I hear from the DNC or BHO, and …. I feel good.
He disgusts me.
He bit his tongue repeatedly. Funny I thought he was tripping over it. That must be why he can’t speak twp coherent sentences in a row without a teleprompter. He’s tongue is all blistered.
I do not know when he thinks he held his peace. He was crying about some perceived insult or slight every damned day.
Obama is a narcissistic baffoon. Every word that comes out of his mouth starts with “I”.
As far as I am concerned, Obama should have gone all the way, i.e. biting his tongue off. Then we don’t have to listen to any more of his lies.
It sounds like his comportment at that meeting was revealing. He was unprofessional and petty. More and more, this man reminds me of the current occupant of the White House.
“I bit my tongue!”
Wah wah and nanny boo-boo.
Can you imagine Hillary Clinton or any other seasoned politician saying such a thing? No. The politic response was “it was a spirited primary and the Senator and I both waged a pitched battle but we’re on the same side now and look forward to working together” or something like that.
Bit his tongue…Of course he did. But you don’t SAY stuff like “hey, I really wanted to haul off and sock her one.”
Unbelievable. What a childish man.
Obama, like wife Michelle, is an expert at being a “victim” when it is convenient…which seems to be pretty often. He always seems to be getting a bad rap, according to him. Frankly, this guy is a whiner and doesn’t take responsibility for anything.
He is a total loser. I wrote a blog post about Michelle being “Camille”. Her feelings always seem to be hurt, too.
[...] worse things than losing elections, and I believe we have just witnessed them during the primaries. Obama’s use of sexist stereotypes against Hillary gave cultural permission for the venom against Hillary. [...]
