The Honeymoon Is Over
By Owl06 on July 13, 2008 at 10:45 AM in Barack Obama, Electability, John McCain
Freshman Senator and prospective Democratic nominee Barack Obama’s lead over John McCain has dissolved. Obama now ties McCain in Saturday’s Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll and has higher negatives. His media-driven honeymoon is over, and the American public doesn’t believe in Obama’s “change.”
The pertinent passage:
McCain is now viewed favorably by 56% of voters, Obama by 54%. Obama receives unfavorable reviews from 44% of voters while McCain is viewed unfavorably by 41%. McCain earns favorable ratings from 32% of Democrats while Obama is viewed favorably by 22% of Republicans. Among unaffiliated voters, McCain is viewed favorably by 58%, Obama by 54%.
Obama was effectively marketed as a transcendent figure that would rise above politics as usual and “change” everything; he tapped into something powerful. He has since shown himself to be a typical politician with a willingness to sacrifice core democratic principles in order to appear as a moderate.
Take his carefully crafted image away, and what are we left with? A facsimile of John Kerry - a wavering candidate that is disliked by middle America, and whom unlike Kerry, lacks experience and has flimsy credentials to be commander in chief.
‘Community organizer’ does not cut it, and his record in the IL legislature (a part time job) is less than stellar. Has anyone even asked Senator Obama about why he killed a GLBT hate crimes bill yet?
Keep in mind folks, that this contest has come to a draw before the Republican attacks have gotten into full swing, and they have plenty more to work with. Every indication is pointing toward November 2008 being an absolute bloodbath.
Barack Obama will only have himself to blame for costing the Democratic party the White House.

Just read in the nypost:
“EGO-BAMA, swallow some of that pride”
This is a good read!
EGO-BAMA, SWALLOW SOME OF THAT PRIDE
Mirlo:
Holy sh*t that’s a good read–so harsh–I love it. Ha! I’m going to spread it around. Thanks.
TO Owl06:
Thank you for keeping us updated on the polls and trends…wooo hooo.
PUMA!
Jonah Goldberg is wack job– but that column was well done and too true.
mirlo — Egobama great read.
Perhaps he’s an adulation junkie. Maybe the diminishing “nourishment” Sen. Obama receives from “popularity” is actually causing him to ratchet up his pursuit of more and more praise just to get the minimal fix he needs.
We have too many problems in this country — to deal with this man’s massive ego. Sorry BO humility is the name of the game. Demigods are not the style this year we just need a President who cares about the American people. NEXT
I liked the possum seal.
I was saddened by it’s early demise.
A possum seal is a terrible thing to waste.
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA = PRESIDENTIAL MISFIT.
Presidential Misfit My Ass…More Like Manchurian Candidate.
The Only question is who is he really working for and how dumb are they to think that this bamboozle will work?
I’m not for Obama, but “Manchurian Candidate” is a right ring slur.
well considering the Obama Campaign is a three ring circus…a right “ring” slur sounds about reverend wright.
He will cost the new democratic party a lot more then the white house.
Any one running who supported him will have a problem.
There will be no money for their races. Voters will most likely not turn out which will hurt the ticket.
He and his cohorts have done more damage to the democratic party than I have ever seen in my lifetime.
Does anyone know how many have left the democratic party this election? less money less votes more losses.
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS
PUMA RULES
I don’t blame Obama for why I left the Democratic Party. I blame the Democratic Party leaders: Pelosi, Dean, Kerry, etc.
They are the ones who angered me. Obama was entitled to try to sell his own argument that he was the winner, just as Hillary was entitled to sell her argument.
What was wrong was that Dean went on the road to push her out before PA. I won’t ever forget that one. I won’t forget Pelosi announcing before Texas that the candidate with the most delegates should win the SD support. I won’t forget Donna’s remarks that the Democratic Party no longer must worry about white working class and Latino voters because the party is so different now, so urban and young.
All of those plus more made ME reconsider my party affiliation. I want nothing to do with these people.
They have reinforced my opinion regularly. FISA was unnecessary. The DNC rumor-mongering about pushing Hillary off the nomination ballot fueled the flame. The rumor that she “HAS” to pay off her debt OR ELSE is yet another bully example.
I want nothing to do with bullies.
Obama is just a politician, trying to win. But they used their power to promote non-party values. They are the backroom thugs.
And I just say…..no deal.
I agree Ann. Obama has the right to run for POTUS. Provided he is a citizen of course. However the powers that be, Dean, Pelosi, Reid, Kerry, and mostly Donna Brazile have no excuse for their actions.
This was written by DONNA BRAZILE on NOV. 5, 2004, a couples days after Kerry lost. “WHY AMERICANS HATE DEMOCRATS” How To Tap Into The Obama Factor. They thought they could get the Church voters. http://www.slate.com/id/2109328
I totally agree, these people manipulated and bullied others to put have this fraud represent the Dem. Party. It’s too easy to say it’s just Obama. I will never forget come this November.
I went to a fundraiser yesterday for Hillary and BO supporters showed up as well. I wondered if they even put money in the basket to help retire her debt. All that I saw them doing was going around saying “why can’t we unite and get along?” It was quite pathetic really. They were all in their early 20s, graveling and doing their best to apologize to Hillary supporters for bad behaviors during the primary. I overheard one of Hillary’s delegate screaming to an Obot “I TOLD YOU I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT OBAMA BUT YET YOU KEEP ON YAPPING ABOUT HIM. I DON’T WANT TO TALK TO YOU!” It was hilarious.
wow….great story of the reality! LOL*
Yes Yes you said like it is. Breaking the principals of the democratic party is what they have to answer for. I never thought of Obama as some one who had what it take to make all that damage because every time I look or hear him I wonder what are these people see that I don’t. Who ever pushed and used him will soon find it is not that easy.
Ann, one big DITTO from me!
Same with me. Those people - Dean, Pelosi, Kerry, Brazille, and the rest who are so quick in jumping on the bandwagon are to blame for what will happen to the Democratic Party. These are the people who don’t get it. And they expect that the people will just take and follow what they want them to do.. Well, maybe some but it happened that most don’t.
Well said!
helen — If you want to know just how much damage Obama has done to the Democratic Party just contact your state party and tell them you have had it with the Democratic Party and are voting a straight Republican ticket. There are terrified.
Excellent. My phone number changed recently with a house move so I haven’t had the opportunity to tell them I’ve changed my 40 year Democratic registration to Independent and just why. I’ve been really looking forward to it.
I might actually ask about an Obama sticker to put on my car after he loses the election to add a little protection from the rioters. I am an older white lady after all and bottom of the barrel for the bots and tots.
You’ve wrapped it up perfectly, Helen. The damage done by the Obama gang is incalculable.

PUMA is right, his nomination is going to cost us not only the WH but a divided Party and perhaps losing the majority in both houses.
Well done Owl06.
We all saw it coming.

An Open Letter to Caroline Kennedy-July 13, 2008
http://preview.tinyurl.com/5jvtjb
You need to be a “Profile in Courage”…. because of people like those in PUMA!
Really great job on the letter. I only wish she had the courage of her convictions.
great letter- thank you for writing it.
It being Sunday and all, lets use a parable from the Bible for illustration
Like the seed that falls on shallow, rocky ground. It shoots up, until the sun comes out and withers it. It has no roots.
ahhhh, thank you!
I listened to all of five minutes of that horrible Mark Green radio show “Seven Days in America” on Air Obama Radio this morning. John Kerry was on, and he was asked “Why should liberals vote for Barack Obama, after he voted for the FISA bill?”
Kerry: “Because President Obama will make changes in that law.”
I’ve always hated Kerry because he’s a mushmouthed insincere moron, but this just proves that Obama supporters will say anything, with a straight face, to excuse their candidate’s behavior.
By Kerry’s logic, Obama should vote to give the President the power to line up the entire population of the US and shoot every third person, and then say “John McCain will USE this horrible power, you can trust me NOT TO.”
Vote for President Obama, only he can save us from Candidate Obama.
Too much.
Uggh Kerry! And I am from Massachusetts. If Kennedy wasn’t ill, this year would have been THE year we could have really dumped him for good. Now, I am not so sure. But Reilly with PUMA support is making him sweat, spending more of Teresa’s ketchup money.
I hadn’t thought about the situation with Kennedy. You’re right. Probably not a great year to boot him out.
Why not? People get fired all the time while they are ill. I got let go once while I was in the hospital. They said they couldn’t wait for me to ge better.
Public service isn’t supposed to be a job for life.
What I am saying is that with Kennedy ill; the political will in MA may not be there anymore to toss Kerry out… the possiblity of having two senators with no senority?? Though many I talk to are outright gleeful about making Kerry squirm, knowing Kennedy’s seat will be vacant gives them pause about actually vote him out. As usually, Ted saves John’s ass again.
Why is that I felt so guilty in my heart that my feeling was immediately: Screw Ted Kennedy? Even when he was sick…I remember telling a co-worker, if anything happens to this chump I will go to work as usual and totally disregard his life’s celebration. I will close my eyes and go about my business as usual should that day come.
The balloon has busted with this deceit.
Screw Ted Kennedy and the slew of coat tails he’s been riding on all these years. He can shit in his white sailor’s cap and pull it over his ears.
RFK’s family is the epitome of the American family, warts and all, just like the rest of us.
Ted Kennedy is the horrific embodiment of what it means to be a “spoiled rich kid”.
I have no sympathy for him. He is one of the few Democrats that I have NEVER supported (worked against actually).
Kerry has been in office too long, and it’s clearly eaten his brain. Time for a new senator, Massachusetts!
What Kerry was saying is that BO voted for the FISA bill after he was against and before he will be against it in the future. See? clear as mud. This twisted argument could only be made by John Kerry with a straight face. You think he would have learned from his own experience.
Obama had done a 180 on this issue, I remember him saying he would lead a filibuster on this FISA Bill, now he’s voting for it. Obama has no convictions and has never taken a stand on any issue in his life.
*hehe
Actually he made that argument with a horse face.
If BO is the right candidate on FISA, and John Boy thinks he will change it, there is an assummtion on his part that BO will used “Article II powers”.
The Cat’s out of the back. John Kerry damn well knows this and is lying. Just like his comment on why BO would be a bridge to “moderate” Mulims.
If it came down to Up holding the Constitution or Coporate sepratism, BO chose wrong, BO judgement is based on reading him the Sunday funnies.
John — When Russ Feingold, who made his life’s work opposing FISA said with regard to Obama’s yes vote he will change it when he’s president I all but gagged. This might be the Democratic talking point however, it has turned off anyone who still labels themselves a Democrat. We all have to turn ourselves insideout to please the fool who is constantly searching for more adulation. Goodbye Democrats — it will be a treat to see you go down to defeat.
I got an e-mail from Russ Feingold about a donation to progessive causes.
My reply “since you are finding excuses for backtrack barack , why should I believe you on anything.”
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS
PUMA RULES
Good line, excellent meme.
I hope you don’t mind if I spread it around.
And sadly obvious, that if Obama had actually stood for anything but his personal lust for power, if he’d really worked for and stood up for change, he wouldn’t need to market himself like cheap snake oil.
If Obama had actually stood up for anything but his personal lust for power we wouldn’t know squat about him. That kind of Moral FOrtitude doesn’t fly in chicago politics.
He would still be a community organizer and living in a rented flat.
"Keep in mind folks, that this contest has come to a draw before the Republican attacks have gotten into full swing,"Let’s not forget the presumptive debates.
And lets not forget Hillary Clinton is the only one who can win this election.
Hillary Clinton in the White House?
Yes..lets keep fighting and make this woman President of the United States of America!!
Yes, let’s make real history.
It is about time. This man is a sell out. The DNC has now flown its true colors for the entire nation to see.
normita — old habits are hard to break. I am a third generation Democrat but I will be voting McCain in 08. I hope not to leave the party forever just long enough for the egotists to lose and humbler Roosevelt Democrats to take their place. Although I am open to a more moderate Republican Party — we shall see.
Good to see you again, normita. I miss the old Hillary blog on her site, don’t you? Still lighting candles, by the way.
Yes, true colors: we can change the American flag to include black and green. A change we will surely be forced to believe in.
P U MA and entire Being.
Don’t forget he needs to drop the white. That color is a horrible reminder of injustice.
don’t forget he’ll need either a hammer and sycle
or a crescent
I wish the MSM had bothered to explore the impact candidate Obama has had in Chicago and in Illinois. It wouldn’t have taken any investigative journalism to find that there is none…just a trail of elected positions gotten by hook or by crook (literally), all aimed at the ascendancy of BHO.
One of the networks ran a special that pretty much told a lot of the story.
I don’t think people watch those shows unless they have their minds made up.
This is the 21st Century. We all need to get a grip.
In this new age, Barakarama will always get a pass -no matter what…did you know he’s a little bit Black? Yes, on his dad’s side.
Does anyone know if we are stil allowed to say the word black? Some people in Texas are having a problem with this terminology because it is a deliberate way of professing our subliminal racism.
Scientists everywhere are trying to come up with a new term for “black hole” as it has been deemed to be some type of code word. Some kinds of Duncan Hines cakes have to either be eliminated or renamed.
Maybe they’ll have a contest or something. Stay tuned.
Now what do I do about my black car? I could pretend it’s red, I guess. Unless red also is a code word for something that I am not yet aware of.
Maybe we should start a movement and begin to pronounce colors in spanish or french?
black hole = singularity
men at work = workers ahead
Don’t you love this new PC crap.
Andrew; since I have been on a Carl Sagan kick of late, check out this one and just keep Obama in mind while watching this.
The blackhole is not a racist comment in scientific terms. I personally believe the blackhole is a valid political analogy for where all the positions Barak Obama has taken end up.
Carl Sagan on black holes and the bending of light.

Did you see the guy that complained about Blackhole being racist when he was intereviewed? he also was mad because Devils food ckae is brown and angel food cake is white and THAT is racist too
Hey Chicago Joe,
Here is some great Sunday reading.
Ryan Lizza’s piece in The New Yorker
Making It How Chicago shaped Obama.
It is long and very interesting.
http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/07/21/080721fa_fact_lizza
Chicago Joe — the media was too interested in getting rid of Hillary Clinton to bother vetting Obama.
But they, did and promptly suppressed it.
Tim Russert had other plans for all of us.
The honeymoon is over??! But I never even consented to the shotgun wedding! I’ve been trying to divorce this guy since we met him.
You must mean the media’s love affair is fading, LOL, because I sure never got that “warm tingle up my leg”.
I dont think that Obama and the Dirty Chitown Politico are after America’s leg tingles anymore.
This country better pucker up and tighten its collective buttcheecks. THe Obama Movement has no intention of taking no for an answer…we are going to have to fight them tooth and nail.
yttik — lololol ^5 terrific
Well, he’s not going to blame himself, neither will his lemmings. Somehow this will all be turned into a Clinton hatefest. When he loses he’ll be visiting every talk show complaing how hard it is to be black. Hell, I wouldn’t even rule out a tv-show of his own, after all that’s where he truly belongs. On tv alongside with “psychologist” Dr. Phil and Oprah.
Consider the source, frankly. I spent some time on HuffPo. His followers are the true low-information folks. They apparently do not read newspapers, blogs, or anything much really. They had no clue as to what has transpired regarding Hillary’s debt, for example, even though the information is on the blog and PUMA bloggers are repeatedly posted that we’ve raised at least 10 million already, maybe more.
They are unaware, so I’ve learned to not bother reacting.
Don’t be surprised if you see some race riots.
LOL….He is still the one he has been waiting for …OMG wickedly on point:

PUMA’S Will change the landscape of the Democratic Party, Presidential Election, and This Country.
People you are witnessing HISTORY, a peoples REVOLUTION to take back its country. People who are tried of a party that could only present 1 winner and a half Jimmy Carter) is 37 freaking years. We know the DNC has no idea of what the hell their doing and have forgotten what a winner looks like. “We The People” have been called to say ENOUGH. No more backing losers, and the corrupt DNC. This is our party and we will tear it down to build it back up for the BETTERMENT of ALL Americans. DNC your services are no longer needed
I agree Fred.
PUMA is a people motivated movement made up of people that aren’t going to keep supporting a party and their selected nominee just because there’s a “D” after his name.
It wasn’t all that long ago the left was making fun of Republicans that just followed the party line blindly.
Now they want us to do the same thing. Can we all say “hypocrites” loud and clear?
PUMAcrats love their country. Obamacrats love their Obama.
Turns out we had a whole bunch of wanna-be Bushies on our side too.
tired*
The Newsweek polls are bad as well. When they start publishing bad numbers, it is really not good. I have to confess that this is happening faster and earlier than it was possible to imagine. I don’t think that the convention will do much more than shore up the waning interest. Bad fund raising numbers, celebrity supporter’s gaffes and no more large screaming venues make him look like the empty suit we all knew him to be. I hope Hillary’s debt is paid off soon so that she can ease her way off of the Titanic!
“Barak” Hussein Obama is just another black Chicago thug who thinks the world owes him and his kind a pass. The penitentiaries are full of people like him and his friends. Instead of legislators like John Kerry endorsing thugs like Obama for president, they should be demanding an investigation of Obama for criminal activities and other issues that are a threat to our National Security.
My Fatherinlaw is a democrat of democrat. He has never not voted in over 70 years…This year he says no vote…………..
joker — What you said about your father-in-law is what is happening all over the country. Obama, Dean, Brazile and Axelrod all said to the Democratic base stay home your not needed. So Seniors, Boomers, Women, White Workers, The Military and Hispanics will do just that. Except for the staying home part. Obama says he doesn’t care. He probably doesn’t because he feels if you don’t show him the proper adulation — he doesn’t need you. Right now his support among Democrats is at 54% which is a Tsunami for him and the Democratic Party. He would need at least 85 to 90% of Democrats just to compete with McCain. I think Obama’s poll numbers are a bit too generous. He can’t raise money, the party can’t raise money. Hillary and McCain are raising money — Obama is clueless what a pariah he has become the down ticket Democrats.
I doubt there will be a TV show in the offing for this moaner who will blame his massive loss on everyone but himself. Success has a million fathers–failure is an orphan.
My Fatherinlaw is a democrat of democrat. He has never not voted in over 70 years…This year he says no vote…………..
This guy I know just turned 82, a Democrat his entire life. I asked him what he plans to do come November and he said he plans to find out what kind of a felony he has to comit to lose his voting rights. LOL, it cracked me up.
Well I always vote but this year I wiil stay home.
Mostly because our county has mail in votes only.
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
How many points was loser Dukakis ahead in July of 88?
Wow. Gonna be a landslide loss. Guess the bamboozlement has worn off already.
If he were a true American patriot, he would see that he will lose this election for our party and hand the nomination over to the candidate who got the most popular votes.
tricia — Obama is no American Patriot — In fact who knows if he’s an American at all. Perhaps the Party will force Obama to step back from the Presidential Nomination and take VP — but I doubt he would listen. Obama is on an ego trip. He doesn’t see or hear anyone else. This is his ride. To Hell with anyone else.
If he was a true American patriot he wouldn’t have usurped our party because he is 1/2 black and used in order to screw Hillary. He would have stood beside her and let his time come.
Imagine that - what a wonderful thing it could have been. Respect for Hillary as a proven leader and someone who could have truly brought to life a message of hope and change. Unity in regard to race and gender issues… a thing of the past.
We could have been guaranteed 16 consecutive years in the Oval Office/ White House. We could have watched his children grow up to be something more than just the country’s first daughters …blah, blah, blah…
Things happen for a reason. Now we know who this selfish fraud is and his need for instant gratification. Sickening.
If Obama was truly out for the best interests of the United States and the Democratic Party, he would have waited another four or eight years to run. He would have established a real record as a Senator. He would have allowed himself to evolve into an experienced leader. Instead Obama chose to let his ego get in his way. Obama will deserve it when he loses in November and ruins his chance to ever be taken seriously again as a viable candidate.
As for the so called leaders of the party - I hope they are all voted out and Donna is kicked off tv!
Howard Dean&Co have been grooming Obama ever since Dean lost trying to establish their new american socialist party.
Prepare yourself very loud thud coming August or November!
Can we make a big statue of Obama and then have CNN play when it’d torn down like Saddam’s in Iraq? That is the picture I keep seeing in my mind thinking about Obama’s big fall.
I like your thinking csuzeq.
Wouldn’t you think they would have been smart enough to realize 4 years ago, that Obama should start moving away from Wright, Ayers, Rezko and all his other wholesome All American friends? That’s what I just don’t get, someone should have seen this could be a problems when people found out he went to that church for 20 years when even Oprah had the sense to leave
He’s too full of himself. He would think it doesn’t matter to anyone else.
Catherine,
My sentiments exactly. Shame on his “friends” for inflating his already huge ego and overrating his abilities. I have felt all along that BO should have spent the next 8 years garnering senatorial experience. Then I believe he would have waltzed into the White House with tons of experience and a wealth of wisedom/maturity from just “living” life.
It’s really sad that no one could provide the guidance he desperately needed to make a better-informed decision. He is too impatient and immature to lead the most powerful nation in the free world.
They want all the Money NOW. They want Control Now. There isn’t a Board or Executive position they have seen that they didn’t like or want Now.
They are the experts in the field of Shell Games.
Their record speaks for itself. The opportunity was ripe because there was a female in the picture. Enough said.
some time I feel like not blaming him for it. it seems like some peole pushed him into it.
They found themselves the most conceited jerk they could find. Conceited people are easy to manipulate because they believe any flattery you heap on them.
Obama could run for mayor of Chicago and gain some executive experience!
I want to donate some more do re mi to Hillary’s debt. Remind me…is the coffee cup icon on the right side of this page the correct place to go to do that? I want to make sure what I donate goes to her debt relief…Thanks!
yep…that $$ goes to hillary’s retire the debt.. when you give if you can end in .08? like 20.08, or 50.08
thanks!
you reminded me I needed to give some $$ as well..
gonna go get the credit card…

WOW! Thanks for that link. Great video.
Another interesting symptom of Obama’s troubles are the number of people distancing themselves from him over the VP search.
An article today on RCP talks about how McCain has a big field of choices. Obama, not so much.
Biden, Strickland, Webb….all have stated they don’t want the job.
anninca That would be another reason to believe that Obama is going to lose. The people who were mentioned — Sistak, Webb, Strickland and Rendell have their own ambitions and don’t want to be part of a losing ticket.
Plus, it’s been fun to watch the badmitton game about Hillary.
Hillary says: I’m not being vetted.
Hillary supporter talks to Obama and pitches Hillary.
Obama says: Hillary’s on the short list.
Obama says: Bill is the problem.
Hillary repeats: I’m not being vetted.
Hillary is pulling his covers in a very nice way on his phony baloney BS. She’s not even being considered.
Then, for more fun, go read Bill Clinton’s comments to the governors. Omigosh…..
He is brilliant. He gave this great speech about how there’s too much divisiveness, people going into their corners, etc., and evoked the name….you ready….of Teddy Roosevelt.
I spit my coffee out. That’s McCain’s new “role model!”
On the surface, it sounded as though Bill was making a great play for unity, and he was doing the presidential dance of giving a bit of history as he’s prone to do. Except his example was T.Roosevelt.
I just love politics.
Bill just said: “Kiss My Ass!”
CNN - Now — Hillary’s dilemma! Oops, I mean HoMamarama! 2:22 EST 7/13/08
Donnaramadingdong has an opinion.
Works for me.
Who would want that job? Maybe Axelrove or Rezko. Go with Blago because it will be fun to watch both Blago and Obama hauled off in handcuffs!
Not to play Pollyanna here but there may be a silver lining. Assuming the BHO is still the nominee after the August convention (if this trend continues even that may be in doubt) and this downward trend continues into the fall. We may have the curious prospect of a landslide Democratic congressional victory along with a a landslide Democratic presidential defeat.
Yes, we’d have McCain for four years but the current current DNC leadership would be so discredited that we could throw them all out - Dean, Pelosi, Reid, Brazile along with the foaming-at-the-mouth bolshevik/facsists who are trying to hijack the nation (after having hijacked the Democratic party).
And… icing on the cake, BHO would be finished as a presidential contender. That alone is worth four years of McCain IMO.
Tatoo Obama with the capital letters-REJECTED
Congress has an approval rating of 9, Pelosi 4. i wouldn’t count on a Dem landslide in the Congress, though I hope Ed O’Reilly can crush J. Lurch Kerry in the Mass. primary and replace him in the Senate.
This should have been a slam dunk election for the Democrats. They are blowing it as usual. Personally I think Pampers should put on a helmet, take a tank ride and end this already. It’s embarrassing really.
Germany is now saying things like, “We trust he will use good taste,” in reference to the Brandenburg fiasco.
And Denver is now gearing up for hordes of Obama youth that will need to be bussed in to fill up the stadium.
It’s embarassing, all right. All sense of decorum is out the window.
anninca — All those Obama kids on the ground can be used as a threat to SD’s who appear to be wavering.
I guess that jackass symbol (I mean donkey) was a bad idea for the party way back when.
shtuey — lurch Kerry brilliant lolololol
craigdp — The problem is Obama is hurting down ticket Democrats. 30% of Democrats say they will stay home. I received 5 calls from my state party with regard to various local candidates. They are worried about what the national party is doing and how it will effect them.
If the economy were not in free fall and if the party hadn’t pushed so hard for someone who seems unable to relate to so many segments of the population it might be a different story–but as it appears now if Obama loses he could take the party down with him.
I don’t see democrats who are not going to vote for obama go and vote the down ticket with discrimination. for instances all the super delegates who were very vocal in supporting obama need to be voted out. a lot of house cleaning will take place
amen!
!!!BREAKING!!! FormerObamaSupporters.com just launched. The worm is begining to turn in Obamaland
Excellent website!! Just watched the flip-flop express bus!! that was good.
Individual former Obama supporters are welcome here at No Quarter. We need their help to get Hillary nominated.
Who runs that site?
It makes me wonder when these (can I say black men) are sent out to say derogatory things about Oblameless or things that reflect badly on him if this is not just another set-up to hamper the black vote somewhat and to in Axelrod’s thinking that the lunch bucket dems those bitter, clinging to guns voters will come back to the ONE. Maybe I’m just too skeptical of the b.s. politics of the Oblameless campaign. They honestly haven’t a clue how to deal with us PUMAS. Aholes.

Are you certain that is not a GOP site?
“Barack Obama will only have himself to blame for costing the Democratic party the White House.”
Speaking personally, I will be blaming the super delegates.
And now the DNC is in Chicago great move by the DNC they will not get any money ever again. I want a brand new party.
I agree. This is the reason for the superdelegate position–to avoid nominating an unelectable candidate.
shtuey — I blame the DNC and the media for the mess the party is in. They could have taken all 3 branches of government with an activist President like Hillary Clinton. But as liberal elites it was more important for them to sleep well at night knowing they put an AA in the White House. The fact that he had no record of accomplishment and no Washington experience they convinced us was a plus. They pushed and they pushed and they finally got him but as a result they lost their own credibility.
The Democratic Party is forcing UNITY on its members — so I have become an Independent who will vote Republican.
They could remain tied all the way through to the convention and it still wouldn’t matter. The DNC is dumb enough to nominate this dirtbag anyway.
I think the main goal of the DNC, Republicans and MSM was to get rid of the Clintons. Permanently. The goal was to destroy them. The best news is that it didn’t work. They’ve made Hillary stronger. They said so themselves on CNN on “The Clintons. Never Quit” That is just too funny. Hillary comes of like a superhero now and Obama the zero!
If I can’t vote superhero, I’ll take the hero over the zero!
That show was not too bad to watch for CNN, but what I do realize from it is that Hillary will be getting the blame and these dumbasses really think that we will not fall in line because of our loyalty to Hillary when the reality is we think Obama is scum of the earth or wherever the hell he came from! How can these smart people be so stupid?????
My boyfriend is a loyal dem. He thinks all the stuff I say is just made up internet rumors or it would be all over the news. Well, last night I told him, it’s ok. I’ll watch your face when you learn it all for real after 8/29. I got my chair and my popcorn ready. Maybe a glass of wine, too. He tells me I’m wrong. I tell him he’s uninformed. He tells me I’m wrong. I tell him he’s just uninformed. We go round and round a bit and then say well, we’ll see what N
I agree with you.
He thinks all the stuff I say is just made up internet rumors or it would be all over the news.
I guess he missed the lead up to the Iraq war then. The Internet rumors tried to tell people that they weren’t getting the truth from teevee. Not much has changed. The old joke was that freedom of the press was for those who could afford to buy one. The new version is that those who own teevee pretty much control what Americans think is important. The six o’clock news could sink Obama in less that a week if they wanted to. They don’t want to.
Excellent commentary from the Kansas City Star:

The writer lays it on about Obama joining the GOP crooks on FISA.
I was just reading the Political Ticker on CNN. Came across this little gem, in an article about Obama stating that Hillary is on his short list for VP.
John July 12th, 2008 11:46 am ET
She should be on his short and fat list!
These people are so wonderful. NOT
Obama = Fraud.
Obama = Liar
Obama = Unqalified
Obama = Faithless
Obama = Unamerican
Obama = Selectee
Obama = Unfit to be leader of the free world.
NObama. Deal with it…… PUMA Rocks!
I don’t think the media honeymoon is over. I just think the public doesn’t trust the media anymore, they are forming their own opinions regardless of what the media tells them to think.
The public are generally slow to react. They should have stopped trusting the media after they helped Bush bring about the Iraq war. Didn’t the Obama supporters wonder why the media was backing their candidate? They are slow to react too. But it is not too late. They can can join us to help get Hillary nominated.
“he tapped into something powerful”
The only thing that was “powerful” was that we are coming off the worst administration in American history. People are desperate for change–to ANYTHING. Axelrod exploited that need with a marketing campaign and a blank slate. They further exploited the right wing caricature of Hillary to demonize her and “wallah” a bright, shiny new option was offered to the uninformed masses. Add the corrupt DNC and the absurd media and it brings us a perfect storm.
It’s not too late SD’s!
I wonder how low in the polls Obama must drop in order for the SDs to change their votes. Sadly, I don’t believe they would change their votes even if McCain were ahead by 10 points or more come August 27. They would claim that “he still has time to turn things around.” At this point, the only thing left that may change their minds is a major scandal like an indictment in Chicago, or Larry Sinclair breaking through the MSM.

I found the letter very well done and honest, but, it was a waste of time for the writer. Caroline has sold her soul for her own ambition, and no letter from a concern citizen is going to get in the way of her thirst for success. From a purely human point of view I know the effort of the letter was in good intention, that is ,to try to change her view, but, nevertheless it was pointless to try to capture Caroline’s “hungry” mind. Caroline reminds me of a farmer and a horse fable. The farmer comes out early every morning to feed the animals, and the horse’s eyes are firmly fastened on his bag of feed! This bag of feed is Obama and her prize is the bag of grains. These grains will make her stronger and make her a better horse in the future. Unfortunately, she picked the wrong farmer, for the one who could have produced a single slice of bread to satisfy her gnawing politic hunger, was Hillary Clinton, both , Carloline and Ted, embraced the people that are now known to have distance the DNC, and have also distance the voters for this election. I have no respect left for this child.
Serious question, and apppreciate anyone with clinical ore real world experience to comment:
Q. Do you suppose Obama’s admitted past use of drugs such as cocaine, has affected his brain and personality (i.e., the arrogance factor)?
Also, saw a program on brain health that says smoking is a disaster for brain function and I understand he’s fighting that addiction (smoker’s gum, etc.)
Q. Do you suppose the smoking affects one’s cognitive functioning, too? (or, “Precious One’s”…)
I’ve seen some videos of BO speaking off the cuff sometimes when he made no sense, and once he said it was sleep deprivation. Yet I’ve really wondered if something else was going on at other times when he seemed well-rested.
And then, there were Bo’s brain at work during debate performances with Hillary…
Any thoughts?
Iz ze drrrugz, alviys ze drrrugz. Obama is obviously self medicating. He chews nicotine gum while continuing to smoke. He probably has a crack pipe in his sock with some steel wool and a bottle of rocks. He has gotten progressively thinner, his face more sunken. His head head kind of hangs to the side and the the eyelids covering his glassy eyes kind of droop. His skin is splotchy and unhealthy, his hair is rapidly graying. Iz se drrrugz, alviys ze drrrugz
At least he will be up to answer the phone at 3:AM
Unless he is out scoreing more crack.
I quit smoking several years ago after smoking for about 25. It did not affect my thinking at all.
Drug use I wouldn’t know about but I imagine it would have to have been heavy drug use for a prolonged period. I don’t think dabbling in it briefly would have a lasting effect.
His strange remarks are likely more due to his warped values and beliefs than anything else unless of course he is still abusing drugs. I just think he has a personality disorder as well as those that think he is ok.
Liberty Belle Good question. I am no expert on the damage cocaine does to the brain cells. But if you look at Bush’s speeches when he was running for Governor of Texas and after he became President there was a marked decline in his speech patterns and his ability to remember what he was saying. For instance, you and I might misspeak but one second later we correct ourselves. Obama and Bush don’t correct themselves because they have no idea they have misspoken. Your concern is also mine–we see the damage which can be done by a President who has taken drugs. We certainly don’t need another one.
Absolutely! Alcoholics and drug addicts are infamous for being blamers! Nothing is ever their fault. I know I was an alcoholic’s wife for 13 years and divorce now for 10. Still every problem he has is my fault and I rarely talk to the man. This continues on even after they quit using because the brain is permanently damaged and actually shrinks. I studied this for 13 years. Also, I have herad that experts say, Addicts get stuck in time the age they were when they became addicted. If they were 14 when they started being an addict, they will forever act like a 14 year old mentally, etc. Also addicts believe they are entitled.
Yes, and one of the characteristics of coke heads is the self aggrandizement that both he and Bush exhibit. They both think they have a direct line to God and Obama’s case he thinks he is God.
Most people I have known who quit smoking are pretty cranky (pun intended) while undergoing the cleansing of all that stuff in their lungs and skin (Can’t I just eat my waffles?”). Addicts usually supplement with nicotine and sugar when going through withdrawal. Oh, he’s got problems all right and many more than 99 of them.
True too about the age retardation. That’s why these fellas behave with such immaturity. Like the song goes “…stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it.”

GREAT! Seeing those videos again!
Thx!!!
Deb
thanks so much for posting the clinton’s video. I missed them and I want them back in the WH.
WE NEED YOU HILLARY!
I sure hope these numbers hold! I’m not embarrassed…no siree! I had nothing to do with this farce-except to vote against the light-weight! I’m working my family hard to vote Republican…if Hillary is not the nominee. There will be new-borns in four states come November! Personally, I start on August 7…one state Democrat has a challenger and my Republican House member is being challenged by another Republican. I’m mad as “hail” and ready to mix it up!
I don’t know, I am happy that Jesse spoke what he really believes but sorry that he caved and apologized.
catharine — the apology which Jesse offered was for the media’s eyes only. He spoke for many AA ministers from all over the country who feel that Obama has thrown Civil Rights leaders under a bus in his quest to co-opt the Black Community. They now heard the words they needed to hear from Jackson and know he is with them.
What’s really sad is that we should have won no matter who we put in as the nominee. I’m starting to think the DNC likes to loose!
GR8 NEWS Larry! This has NOT been a good wk-end for oblahma!
KEEP ON ROCKIN IN THE FREE WORLD!
KEEP THE CHANGE OBAMA.

Did Biden turn down a possible VP offer? The CBS link is pushing him as first choice. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24764369/
He made it clear he’s not interested. He would be very reluctant but would do it if he had to was the gist of his response.
That’s about as close to no thanks as you can get without being rude like Webb was.
meanwhile Gallup (the most accurate poll in the nation) has Obama up by three.
keep trying guys.
no, you are wrong, they are tied, not good news for you johnmcbush…..stfu
That’s within the margin of error, you fool.
It’s quite a bit worse than this. Obama may have had a slight lead in the popular vote over McCain, in past polls, but a closer look revealed that McCain kicks his ass when it comes to electoral votes. In our system of election, electoral votes matter and the popular vote does NOT (except with regard to how this influences electoral votes).
Now, Obama’s support is collapsing. Unless a MAJOR scandal breaks with regard to McCain, Obama’s campaign is finished before it even began.
However, it is FAR more likely that a major scandal will break out, for OBAMA. And it really says something that the republicans seem to be positioning themselves to make gains as the fallout from this hurts the democratic party in general.
The way I see it, there is only one way to avoid this. And that is for democrats to change their mind and nominate Clinton during the actual convention. She won’t win, because of the harsh alienation of the black votes. But, she won’t take the party down with her, either. Obama WILL take the party down…..mark my words.
Couldn’t agree more. It may not fracture in as many directions as 1968 brought on but it will be deeper and long lasting. This is truly the time for a third party organization to step up.
If Obama does take the nomination and McCain wins the GE, there’ll be nothing to keep Hill from splintering off and we’ll be there for a new coalition.

That’s right anyone that is white and doesnt support Obama is a Racist and If they are black they are Uncle Tom. Thats the change we keep hearing about.
obama=manchurian candidate.
who he is working for we can only surmise.
offhand some guesses would include Zbig Brezinski, party jumping ex-repubs from wall street, global oligarch fascists both seen and unseen led by their figurehead george soros. i’m sure we can add on to this short list.
but what’s the point?
my big question is how do we excuse superdelegates who should know better?
are they being duped, bought off, strong armed with offers they can’t refuse,inside info bamboozlement….pick any or all of the above.
the whole thing is, and has been for a very long time ,basically in the can for obama. Sen McCain will get the same treatment from all the usual suspects that Hillary got…with as much satisfaction.
we can all vote for McCain as a protest/ civil action against the DNC/obamacoup , but we don’t count the votes, do we?
no, we don’t.
enough said.
Haha… I read “Communist organizer” for a few second there. I need some caffeine.
