What comes around [Updated]

Don’t miss the update at the end.

You know how I was saying yesterday that Obama supporters weren’t exactly jumping at the chance to help Hillary pay down her debt? Well it seems I didn’t know the half of it. Sure, I ended my piece a little snarky but essentially what I said turned out to be absolute truth. Evidence the following.

Obama almost forgets Clinton

Wednesday night, he praised Clinton as “extraordinary” and “tough” — but nearly forgot about her need for funds.

I suppose this is is Obama’s version of:

Brotha can ya spare

“Senator Obama and his staff and his supporters are working very hard on debt relief for Senator Clinton, and will continue to in any way that works best,” said Bill Burton, a spokesman for the Obama campaign.

Or perhaps an imitation of it. A bad one.

I watched the FISA debate and the voting. I saw forgetful Barack on the Senate floor, arms patting other senator’s backs. Smiles all around. A real lovefest. So maybe he almost forgot because he was remembering how good he felt in the Senate. With all that adulation.

Yes, Barky Obama was smiling yesterday when he voted to allow spying on American citizens by an uncontrolled completely self policing executive branch of government. He and 68 of his colleagues voted to undo the heart of the Bill of Rights. The right of privacy.

They were smiling about it.

My leader Hillary emerged again yesterday. She did the right thing.

But that was covered over with praise for Barky who voted to take freedom away from the American people. And Jesse Jackson who said he was sorry he wanted to cut his nuts off.

The rest of us wondering when Obama got nuts to begin with.

But while Obama was looking in the mirror and Jesse Jackson was looking for a knife, Hillary Clinton voted FOR the American people.

Not many people were slapping her back for it. She isn’t in the spotlight any more. The guy that just voted to oppress democracy is.

Strange isn’t it? The one that champions the American people sits on the sidelines while a sacred stage of sycophancy is being built around this man that voted to kill liberty. Nope, not a cult at all.

So maybe I understand why Barky was so forgetful yesterday. He had just pulled off the biggest hoodwink of them all. He actually voted to give himself virtually unlimited power to spy on any American citizen should he become president. And people slapped his back.

A Bam Damn Boozle. Maybe even a Bam God Damn Boozle.

It would sure be easy enough to explain this little episode.

After wrapping up his speech to donors Wednesday evening with an emphatic, “We will change the world!”, Obama left the stage to loud music, only to re-appear minutes later to complete his duties.

“Hold on a second guys, I was getting all carried away. I’ve got one more thing that is important to do,” Obama said to a laughing audience. “Senator Clinton still has some debt. And I could have had some debt if I hadn’t won so I know the drill.”

For someone that claims to need to reach out to Hillary and her supporters Senator Obama seems to go out of his way to diminish our importance with every coming day. With such less than enthusiastic pushes to help retire Hillary’s debt is it any wonder that they have raised LESS than $100,000 toward retiring that debt?

He might as well be up there bitch slapping her.

Just Say No Deal

Here’s another report:

UPDATE from a political observer:

ABC’s John Berman and Sunlen Miller report that Senator Obama “almost forgot” to ask for help with Senator Clinton’s debt during last night’s Manhattan fund-raiser: “He delivered a 32-minute speech to the crowd of 1,000 people at the Grand Hyatt Hotel on Park Avenue in New York City, and began walking off the stage to Stevie Wonder’s ‘Signed, Sealed, and Delivered.’ After 32 minutes he had still not asked for money. In the back of the ballroom, reporters rushed campaign aides, asking if there had been a change in plans. Why no pitch for Hillary?

“Obama … quickly rushed back on stage, saying, ‘Hold on a second guys, I was getting all carried away! … Sen. Clinton still has some debt. And I could have had some debt if I hadn’t won, so I know the drill. There are many supporters of mine here who have not yet given something to help her retire that debt.’ In fact, estimates are that the Obama camp has only raised about $100,000 to help Clinton so far. So, Obama asked people to look under their chairs for an envelope, ‘pick it up and put something in it.’ ”

That would mean that, at most, 19 other couples besides the Obamas have maxed out.
