Will he text-message his SOTU too?
By SusanUnPC on August 11, 2008 at 2:15 PM in Barack Obama
This is utterly bizarre. He will not have a major press conference with his vice presidential choice at his side? If I were the selected “Second One,” I would be truly insulted. Via Heidi Li Feldman’s blog:
Senator Obama’s campaign announced yesterday that it will text-messaging, yes, text-messaging his choice of v.p. candidate to those who sign up for the message. I am not the only one who regards this as absurd. (Here’s commentary from somebody who writes a blog on a tech site.)
[B]y using this hip new form of making a major political announcement, Senator Obama avoids holding a press conference, thereby avoiding any chance he might be asked any question he does not want to answer.
This is consistent with Senator Obama’s approach to openness. He rents a football stadium but will not call for a genuine roll call vote with Senator Clinton’s name in nomination. He will text message anybody with a cell phone but he will not make himself available to reporters.
These are not democratic methods. They more closely resemble the techniques historically used by fascists determined to control and manipulate public opinion while at the same time ralllying public support or insisting on shows of them. …
Thanks for the tip, Suz.
Look, beyond the undemocratic nature of this — not allowing any questions from reporters — it is also indicative of the man’s laziness.
If he can’t be bothered to hold a proper press conference, what would he do if somehow he becomes president? Hide in the Oval and send his minions out to answer all questions? Phone in his speeches? Text-message his State of the Union speech?
It is also unseemly.
It dishonors both the vice presidential candidate, and the history of the critical selection of a vice presidential candidate.
What is the VP candidate supposed to do? Hold his own press conference? Open the front door of his home and greet the horde of reporters sure to be outside?
Talk about being left to fend for one’s self. My god.









































Better make sure you sign up for the text message…those that do not will be the first ones to get rounded up if he wins…
Text message? What a stupid idea. Within 10 seconds it will be picked up by every news outlet in the world.
That’s the point. It’ll be a huge news story but The One doesn’t have to take questions. He gets his message out, lots of coverage, and no cost.
I agree with SusanUnPC. If I were his VP candidate, I’d be insulted and be having second thoughts about signing aboard this sinking ship. Obama isn’t treating this like a serious situation or even one worthy of his time.
This will backfire as surely as his European vacation did.
Hopefully he’ll send it to the right person? Wouldn’t that be a kick in the ass?
>>> This will backfire as surely as his European vacation did.
You mean the National Poltroon’s European Vacation?
This is a marketing strategy. Just think how much power all these cellphone numbers give him. Within minutes, he can reach Millions with whatever message he likes to distribute. It can very dangerous in the wrong hands.
Who shall determine The RIGHT Hands?
That’s probably why he is doing this, because of the cell phone companies. It costs money to send and receive a text message. Just look at how much money he is going to make for the cell phone companies! Hence donation from them to his campaign??? mmmmm…just a thought
Where’s Barry on Georgia? Shouldn’t he be less focused on mobile texting and come out of vacationland?

This is what Barry should be worried about.
hi from hi every1! soz 2 keep u waiting on teh vp. it wasn’t ez, but here. hilz and I are efffl now cuz she has $, teh base and exp. she s tuff and can debate old dude for me, tho I said a3. I can’t win w/o her, so my wife can stfu and deal. aprrece8 all ur luv and $. go dems! amf… bo.
Wouldn’t that look good in a history textbook 25 years from now.
Oh, many books will be written about the brilliance of the Obama campaign and the very pathetic campaigns run by Clinton and McCain.
With lots of pictures for his disappointed fans. It will be called How the Zilch Stole the Primary and Lost the Election.
Very funny. You should get an agent and write this book. I would buy. And maybe you could donate profits to bringing down Hillary’s campaign debt. That is a win-win.
That brilliance of which you speak is only the sun in your eyes, dink.
Brilliance? LOL! He couldn’t close the deal against Hillary until the DNC carried him across the finish line (limping). Now, after the worst presidency in history, he is struggling to stay ahead of McCain. Debbie, you are pathetic. Take your O pom poms and cheer in front of the mirror in your room.
p.s. Hillary won more votes than any candidate in primary history, in either party. Let’s see you do that big mouth.
Oh, Debbie, come on now! What “brilliance” of the Obamarama Campaign are you referring to? You mean the dirty tactics of the Chicago political sewers rats that stole the ‘96 election from his AA mentor Sen. alice Palmer? Or the recent stealing of hte nomination from Hillary? Is using unDemocratic means and playing the dirty Race Baiting Cards in your dialect considered “brilliant”? I would disagee!
lmao Hope floats……………..classic
My thoughts exactly. On the other hand Andrea Mitchell (of all people) said that this will give him a bigger data base. hmmmmmmm Someone else said win or lose he can become very rich by selling his existing data base.
That’s what I think he’s up to. looking for an ew way to harass voters and beg for money. I already get a half a dozen e-mails a day from Obama dunning me for money. I sure as hell do not want them calling my cell phone and texting me day and night.
I mean they are driving me crazy and have been for over a year. You cannot get rid of them and I don’t have any idea how they got me into their database, but I cannot escape.
this is just so he can get your private information and keep hounding you, and if you dont vote for him,,i wouldnt be surprised his crew doesnt single you out, or get your id..they are all crooks and liars, i wouldnt give them my contact information or a way to track me and you are fool if you do
Must mean that the Reverend Manning is right and he offered Hillary the VP slot. I think it is on this link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQzrDrw16W4
This is the link to savage site that talked about it -http://savagepolitics.com/
Wing! Dang! Doodle! Manning has a way with words..LOL!

Koko Taylor is awesome!
I just finished watching “The Blues Story” and she did Wang Dang Doodle acapella—AWESOME!!
Is VP will text back KEWL!
Of course after the Paris Hilton Video showing she has better ideas than Obama on energy, she will get the nod. Of course I’m holding out for Paris for President
Aside from being outright weird, it feeds into the notion he is a narcisist. I mean, it’s manipulative to make people “join” his club just to find out who his pick is.
About a decade ago, that guy who founded Oreck Vacuum cleaners ran a tv ad in which he told viewers that he had a new website, and if they wanted the address to call a toll-free number “and I’ll dot dot dot give it to you!”
That ad went off the air pretty quickly, I suspect because someone realized that telling the viewer that they were going to have to do some work to get the “opportunity” to check out the product Oreck was trying to sell came off as arrogant.
This comes off the same way- want the jump on Barack’s VP choice? Just sign up for what will ultimately be years of junk mail. Your reward- learning the ID of the person destined to lose with Obama thirty seconds before the news media, MAYBE.
Pass. I’m not that breathless with anticipation to find out which loser gets to share your loss.
Seriously, who other than a boda fide, card carrying giver of the O-Hole salutewould be?
His campaign tactics just get weirder and weirder.
I wouldn’t want his silly text message on my phone anyway. It might have cooties.
Not to mention you have to pay for the text message! Yep, just taking money form those folks that are hurting.
Probably have to get Little Orphan Annie decoder rings to receive Oblahs special announcements too.
I used to belong the Roy Rogers club. Had the hat, six shooter, the whole package, but no secret decoder ring.
It was Captain Midnight who gave out decoder rings, and you had to drink Ovaltine to get one. I don’t think Kool-Aid labels worked.
I frikken MET Captain Midnight and my mom still has the photo of him holding me. I was four or so. I still HATE Ovaltine!
p.s. I was with the Davy Crockett crew myself… Coonskin Cap, Ol’ Betsy, and a pressed tin toy Alamo!
Do you think Davy Crockett ever met Annie Oakley?
Only on the back lot where they later filmed M.A.S.H.
Can’t forget my best friend at the time was sure she was Dale Evans!
I still have my Davy Crockett lunchbox!
You must not be old enough. I think you had to send in a seal from Ovaltine, maybe some money. Or was that for some other great prize?
I remember talking my mother into buying Ovaltine for something and she said, you won’t drink that. I assured her that I would. However, I think the box is still in a cupboard somewhere!
Ovaltine, young whippersnapper, required the seal that stretched across the jar to get the decoder. My older cousin says the decoder he remembers came from Little Orphan Annie but he’s a frikken dinosaur so what does he know!
Ovaltine would clump up and float on top of the milk so you’d get these “what the hell was that sorta chocolate but not dry powder” rushes that would have you choking so bad… the damned powder wouldn’t unclump until you started to inhale and then, POW!
Still, Cpt. Midnight had the coooolest little spaceship. Looked like the one in the Monopoly game…
Text-messaging his choice of v.p?
Too cute.
Proves he’s still a teenager deep down inside.
Yeah, I can just see it now;
“Hey R U REDDY FOR MY VP ANNOUNCEMENT? I M GONNA PICK…”
Yeah, I can just see it now;
“Hey R U REDDY FOR MY VP ANNOUNCEMENT? I M GONNA PICK (name of unfortunate one). L 8 R !!!”
Fortunately he won’t be President, so he can text message to his fool heart’s desire. Text messaging, my ass.

If someone will kindly tell me how to post a link here, I will be happy to do so.
Oh well, here’s a link to the link with commentary:
httpCOLON//newwavedemocratsDOTwordpressDOTcom/cnn-clinton-would-have-won/
Standard,
here is the actual link to the article you refer to…
Good try but your attempt to link did not work-however you were able to provide enough info so I could google it to find the website. Here it is.
http://newwavedemocrats.wordpress.com/index.php?s=clinton+would+have+won
I copied this directly off the address bar of the site-once I googled the information you gave me.
Now, click on the link I provide on this comments section. Should take you right in to website.
Next, go to the top of the screen while on this website…See the address field on top? All I did was copy this exact address. I DID NOT spell out the punctuation marks as you did in your post above.
Good luck!
Standard,
What I do to post a link is:
1- go to the website I want to forward to someone
2- go to the website’s address bar (on top of the computer screen)
3- left click on my mouse to highlight the website’ address
4-once address is highlighted, I rightclick on my mouse and select “Copy”
5-I go to the comment section on NQUSA post and right click my mouse again and select “paste”
OR
I can just go to the website’s address bar, note the full name of the website and type it in, in the comments section of NQUSA.
For example, if I wanted to send a link to someone of this article “”Will He Text Message His Sotu Too?” located on NQUSA, I would type in:
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/08/11/will-he-text-message-his-sotu-too/#more-4122
on the comments section with a note to readers to link to it.
Some people also just give the name of the article, the author, the publication name & the date the article appeared in the publication so other readers collect these details and just google it on the internet to get their own link.
Definetely do any of these steps (copy, or type in website link or give name of author, title., publication date and publication name and we will find it. Thank you…This is very helpful to all of us if you do this. I ALWAYS check sources of information before I forward anything to anyone to make sure info & source is legit…
When I want to send a link I just hit “File”; then “Send Link by E-Mail”. When the e-mail comes up on my compyter I just cut the link and paste it where ever I want. I am lazy.
Will it say “BFF Howard E. Newmann”?
Should that be “Alfred E. Newman”?
WHAT ME WORRY ?
Howard, Alfred, doesn’t matter. Their only responsibility will be to taste food.
LOL probably! Monday morning is the pits!
Alfred yes! I think I got mixed up putting Howard Dean together with Alfred LOL
Understandable.
Obama will announce it by text message, and if you send in $3.00 you can also get the super kewl decoder ring. What a joke this candidate is!
LOL…Operators are waiting, and if you act now we will include Obamas new book on how to steal elections. Dial 1-800 blowme.
What a total Asshole
Gravitas?
OBlowme never heard of it
Will the VP be his BFF?
Can you say “laughingstock”?
CUL8R
>>> Gravitas?
Isn’t that another one of those Italian roadside weeds that the Saab drivers think is trendy chow?
Arrogant little sh*t, isn’t he? Disrespect, thy name is Hussein. Slightly O.T. - Since it is established that Barack Hussein Obama is not the name on his BC/COLB, that means that he chose that name. But now he wants to avoid part of it (his middle name)? Why is that?
his real name is Barry Soetoro.
if he was too lazy to legally change is name, he is in a boatload of trouble for his whole life! If he did, and didn’t tell anyone, it just shows he is an immature, self-absorbed, arrogant SOB whom I would never trust my life OR my dogs too! (added emphasis on dogs!)
Oh like so I mean kooll like he’s so hot and omg I just can’t wait and Ludicrous in the White House and Rev. Wright giving the Inaug. benediction and uh he’s soooo international and hot and he understands us and too bad all those stupid bitter old racists who don’t do t m uh er like ya know don’t get it
Ya, like, O and Mo’s juke, right?
The finest in dining and dancing this side of the Key Bridge!
Obma pks nu BFF VP. Q&A l8r. Much l8r.
That is a really smarmy way to get everyone’s phone number. Think I’ll hold off on that one.
I agree. The Obama folks are complaining that the polling numbers are off because “their” supporters use cellphones rather than land lines. Once they have your number, they can ring and ring for donations, too. Have to pay for all that pomp and circumstance.
Coronations don’t come cheap!
There are some people that feel this will just make the media mad because they will be left out of the loop. They won’t be the first to know. Hmm… I don’t know if that’s true, but I hope so. Keep pissing the media off Barry. Then maybe they’ll actually report the truth about you and actually ask you some tough questions.
Watch him screw that up, too. The message will start with er…umm…ths thng wrkn?
It`s so easy…even a caveman can do it.
Cool. Obarky has a new job after he loses (he never did much in the senate anyway).
OMG OMG I just got the VP text!!!! ITS PARIS HILTON!
My friend just received her text and she said it’s Scarlett Johansson!!!
I thought it was his adviser on the Middle East-George Clooney!!!
He must be waiting to see if Phelps gets his 8 gold medals.
haha…this is so insane…
The Obama campaign just wants everyone’s cell phone number so they can put in in their creepy database.
and then those same phone numbers will get listed as:
“Okay to tap”
lol
not only does he want to rule the world he wants to hear every word you speak…

Sorry, this should have been posted in the thread below.
Hillary would have smoke McCain on this Georgia conflict. She has demonstrated her understandings of that region and the politics there.
http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/showthread.php?t=23260
We must get Superdelegates to read this. It’s not too late you change their minds.
Please help get this message out, especially to radio, media and press.
This is totally bizarre. Like you say, Susan, what is the VP to do? I fervently hope it is NOT Hillary.
who elase would he treat like this?
You will get the text message during the first break on this seasons American Idol.
Now his supporters will get confused and write in Sanjaya this fall!
this is so his cult college kids will be informed because they dont watch the news ho hum yawn just another ya hoo stunt…already his vp has been thrown under the bus too….whata guy!!!!!
Obama must be under the mistaken impression that the college kids are the only ones voting this year. They are possibly, and I say possibly, the only ones who would get a kick out of this.
This is monumentally disrespectful to whomever his VP choice happens to be.
Why would Obama not call a press conference and have his “co-captain” standing by his side — proud to announce his choice — ‘this is the person I choose to help me lead the nation forward.’
Certain traditions have a purpose: Respect. Gravitas. The world is watching.
This is both callous and careless. A publicity stunt and completely juvenile.
Is this man trying to lose — just keep making boneheaded maneuvers, waiting to see how many of them it’s going to take before someone finally calls him on one of them.
It fits right in with the American Idol vibe of this sorry campaign.
Don’t see this making much of an inroad with those
bitter folks….do you?
Considering how AT&T purchased the DNC convention, and considering how Obama voted for FISA,….eh, I don’t want to just willing give them my phone number. kinda creepy
this way he can text message them to remind them to vote, of course he wont be in the top slot in November
I am sure he is going to step down from the race in October after the GOP unloads all their lovely oppo research……
The ONE doesn’t want to become the TWO, and anybody that agrees to become his VP under these circumstances is a complete moron.
“that it will text-messaging, yes, text-messaging”
should be :
‘it will text message’
or
‘it will be text messaging’
It will not be Hillary. If it were she would not be speaking of roll call votes and i am betting Big Dawg would have spoke with Obama more than twice over the phone.
You can bet it is not her. THANK GOD!!
I am betting it is Tim Kaine, and boy i hope so. That will be the last hole to sink his ship with fervent blue-collar life-long dems.
I heard the following; when you text message to find out who the VP is you are also agreeing to be put on a mailing list (by texting, you agree to this, etc, etc) Please correct me if I’m wrong.
I mentioned up top that I heard that the people who sign up for the text message also agree to have their phone tapped. I think it’s a part of that FISA deal that “Barack Obama” signed off on.
Obama can’t waste his time on such things. because Obama is king and the V.P is just a after thought. NO TO OBAMA AND HIS NEW KINGDOM.
OT but very interesting the birth certificate question is now reaching readers in Canada;
article at canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/4406
Some person on a website that I will not name said that Obama had to have a valid BC because he has a passport and was overseas when these questions were raised.
This person also mentioned McCain’s birth in the Panama Canal Zone. No mention of the fact McCain was was born to two American citizens stationed overseas by the US government. Neither apply to Obama.
1. There were questions long before his ‘world tour’.
2. If this is true then why can’t he produce publicly said BC as McCain did?
3. If it’s valid to question McCain’s citizenship, a man who’s also traveled overseas many times, then why not Obama’s?
Sigh.
This will lock up the tween vote.
oh the fine print says that the selectee will have the honor of retrieving Obama’s vibrating cell phone to take the call.
Christ…don’t need that visual. Yikes.
Barack knows how meaningless his VP choice is, since he has no chance of winning. Why put forth an effort?
Superdelegates, if you are not blind, deaf, and dumb, you’ll elect Senator Clinton the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. Forget about all the money BO paid you, or the blackmail he threatened you with, and vote your conscience.
I think we should quit reasoning with superdelegates to vote their conscience and remind them of what they have to fear; which is loss of their lucrative government positions.
That’s the ticket.
Obama is trying to sensationalized his VP pick because he lacks excitement and so does his VP pick. He doesn’t have much choices as I pointed out. Ted Strickland said NO, Bill Bradley said NO, Al Gore said NO, Ed Rendall said NO, Dick Durbin said NO, Dodd said NO. and Jim Webb No these people can’t risk there political career on a junior senator…Wes Clarke eliminated by McCaingate, Dodd by Mortgagegate, Edward by Sexgate
So who’s left for Obama? not anyone he can win with, rumors Tim Kaine is the strong pick, and Obama thinks he might help him in VA…please look at Kaine’s record as Gov. in VA he can add any help to Obama
Good point Fred. It’s just a cheap trick. Like the faux seal it will probably be thrown under the bus.
I think the faux seal would make a good frisbee.
Even the media is now pointing out that Tim Kaine has no more foreign policy experience than Obama.
That could be a problem.
Whoever he picks is bound to have more experience on nearly any level you name. He’s got zero experience. Foreign policy is just one area. Homeland Security? Domestic? Budget? Please name something Bo knows other than ego. Cuz Bo sure knows ego.
It would be consistent with Nobama’s lack of courtesy, manners and good sense for him to text his choice of VP if it were indeed Hillary. What a great backhanded “compliment”- kind of a “f*ck you very much, Sweetie”. There is no end to the BS that BS can dish out. And hey- what a great way to get all those cell phone numbers for AT&T (think FISA) so he can keep track of who is loyal and who is not. Sheesh. I’m so COMPLETELY OVER this JERK I want to scream!!!! On the bright side, though, if HRC is the VP then she can trot right into the POTUS slot when his smarmy ass gets hauled off to JAIL! Or should I say the “VP candidate”, ’cause I can’t see the Repubs allowing Barky anywhere near the White House. The old one-two punch and Barky goes down & never knew what hit him. Perhaps that is the Clintons’ game plan. Just don’t want Hill to be dumb ass’s VP, though, or to be tainted with the stink of him and his cronies. Blechh.
I think it would be great if the “selectee’s” phone was off …. that would ROCK!
Text messaging is so yesterday. He should get with Ludacris and annount the candidate in rap.
Oh, yeah, that would work just fine.
announce.
represent…
LOL
I was thinking you meant annoint.
I can hardly wait to find out who his VP choice will be….although I don’t ever use text messaging.
The VP will have a Chief of Staff already chosen for him or her and will be announced to the world through text messaging.
Is this the change we have been waiting for?
Impressive! You are truly special, Barack, even more special, I’m sure, than your VP choice.
Right at the moment I’m thinking Richardson - mainly ’cause he seems to be STUPID and because he’s just about the only one left who hasn’t turned barry down…
Gawd, I hope it’s Richardson - what a hypocritical, opportunistic NOTHING! Perfect for barky.
Are you sure? I thought I heard Richardson had turned it down?
Yeah, but Richardson’s idol is Gumby: “ALWAYS be Flexible!”
I’m sorry. That is just gimmicky and it reeks of….douchebaggery. Immature douchebaggery, at that.
How the hell old is this guy? Thirteen? He sure acts about that age.
Will he start his message off with OMG, I wonder?
It really is beneath the dignity of either office. Why can’t that asshat do things with some decorum? He is a coarse bastard.
VP will be Rev. Wright. That is why it is by text.
GODDAMN AMERIKKA IN DA HAUS
Gotta get those digits to remind the youth to vote on the right day.
LOL
Exactly. Like Pavlov’s dogs running to the pull the lever for Barry when he texts you. Smells like teen spirit!
Oh my goodness, I never even thought about that. That is scary if they actually do this though.
They did this for the caucuses. I don’t recall where I read it, but people signed up and were reminded via text when and where to vote.
I bet he makes you give a campaign contribution to get the text message.
I don’t want the stupid message. I don’t care.
He’s not getting my vote regardless.
He’s so dreamy. His eyes are so soft. He can text message me anyday. /barf
New McCain Ad - Fan Club
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XonsU2B16_0
I’m still laughing my head off!
Text Message to Obama: L-O-S-E-R!
Too Funny!
LOL That was good! Have you seen Nobama’s newest “negative” ad against McCain? LOL I don’t know what’s so negative about it. McCain looks great-likeable, humorous, fit and upbeat!
Coming next: the Obama campaign announces that Barack will parachute into the football stadium to accept the nomination, his fall cushioned by a mosh pit of lucky supporters who won some sort of bizarre lottery.
I’m surprised that Obama isn’t demanding that all the debates be YouTube or FaceBook debates, because podiums and questions from reporters is sooooooo 20th century.
This guy is a few years older than I am, but he wants to be seen as a twentysomething hipster totally connected with the young crowd. Give me a break.
They are the only ones who will kiss his ass on command.
He should wear a costume like Super Dave Osborne. He’d look so patriotic!
“Barry Soetoro” would try to pull a stunt like parachuting into the stadium.
Slick Oil salesmen are always putting on a show.
I’ve called him Backtrack, now my new “Barack Obama” nickname is Obarnum.
He is a circus act. He sells fairy tales and by the time you realize that you’ve been had, he skips town.
Obama is reminding me more and more of Punxsutawney Phil. He peeks his head out, sees our shadow and runs back in for six more weeks of hibernation.
Somewhere amongst the empty cubicles of BS’s mind there are some prairie dogs doing the same thing!!
this is not surprising since he has been marketing himself to the 12-year old mentality since day one.
jeebus, how completely humiliating for the vp.
he has just reduced the position to a telemarketing ploy.
classy.
And the V.P. is Reverend GD America Jeremiah Wright.
Actually, he probably doesn’t know who it is. Putting out “feelers” to Obots to see who they want. Everybody but Judas Ricardson who is slobbering in his newfound beard has basically turned him down.
close friend of Hunter’s Edwards Still Lying
Is John Edwards Still Lying?
A one-time close friend of John Edwards’ ex-mistress says the former Senator is still not telling the whole truth about how his affair with Rielle Hunter began
http://countusout.wordpress.com/
Edwards is probably still lying. I have nothing to base this on but instinct and watching his eyebrow angle when I think he is being less than honest, or “spinning.”
Here is the catch, you have to donate $$100. or more to his campagin then you will be privleged to be the first to know. WTF!!!!!
Knowing that peice of shit, he won;t send the text message out until after the MSMannounces it.
Do I get a Webkinz when I sign up? OMG that would be 2 kewl!!111
LOl I just got finished reading acomment from the source site, and it seems someone one is pouting, about mcCain arguments gaing traction, Well they should have voted for Hillary.
Are you sure he’s not also having a press conference? I signed up to get the text message cuz I want to know right away and I’m at work a lot. From what I understood, signing up to get the text meant you’d be one of the first people to know. That doesn’t necessarily mean he won’t be have a press conference later that day or anything.
I don’t mean to stick up for Obama…I strongly dislike him…but I just wanted to say that.
He is playing into the “celebrity” caricature with this
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/08/11/dreamy-obama-texts-you-his-vp/
LOL, here is a comment from Heidi Li’s post:
“What’s next — messages about foreign policy under Snapple tops?”
lol
I dedicate this song to Obama supporters. May you wake up before its too late.
George Micheal–Praying for time
I think the VP choice is going to be Hillary and that is why he is texting it. He can’t be bothered to actually hold a press conference with her because he can’t stand it that he actually HAD TO pick her to carry him over the line. What other explanation is there for the text message except it has to be someone he truly doesn’t care for or disrespects immensely. My money is on Hillary as the VP just for the above stated reasons.
Soroteo is cpmpeting with the NSA when it comes to getting contact info on people.
The text of the mssage will read;
“just messin widt ya man”…
You may also add that he has refused to do town hall meetings with McCain. One with military families! Does not like to answer questions. Likes to work from a tele-prompter. All “hat and no cattle: is a Texas expression that fits him to a T.
The young crowd he panders to are also the crowd he would draft in a heartbeat, under his Barack Obama’s Plan for Universal Voluntary Public Service oops I forgot, they moved that about a month ago to (it didn’t look good there)
Expand to Meet Military Needs on the Ground: Barack Obama supports plans to increase the size of the Army by 65,000 soldiers and the Marines by 27,000 troops.
This is interesting:

http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/08/bob_kerrey_mccain_can_deal_wit.php
I don’t like many of John McCain’s policies, and certainly not some of his foreign policy advisers. But here’s another statement from a Democratic senior official that praises McCain.
Bob Kerry was an early Hillary supporter. He may be pretending to drink the kool-aid now; but maybe he is a closet PUMA!
You got your Bob Kerrey and you got your John Kerry. Different dudes, both USN VIetnam vets, both US Senators for a time.
Kerrey is president of The New School now.
Kerry is a weasel.
Again,he’s playing to his demographic. The young and the Pavlovian trained. I guess he really is in denial and believes that we have “just gotten over it” and “will fall in line.” The trouble is he needs us to win and he can text message the rest of the campaign it won’t matter he’s over with, done for; Edwards little news is nothing compared to what’s going to happen to BO.

Here is what the SOTU will be like with Obama - it’s time for:
Barackracy!
So again you have to be a “supporter” (Party member) in order to know what is going on. This guy is unbelievable! But I think he has a more devious reason for doing this. He wants to have everybody’s cell phone/text numbers in his stash so he can remind them all to vote for him on Nov. 4, so as not to take any chances that young people will be busy and neglect him. What do you think?
He’s Little Brother to the Bush Administration’s Big Brother. He’s go to have those phone numbers.
Yeah, I know…I don’t care if it does sound racist.
Was anyone ever able to ask a question of Hitler or Stalin?
Doesn’t matter who gets selected for VP. The mighty O doesn’t plan on having them participate in anything other than funerals far away and some ribbon cutting ceremonies honoring his likeness.
You left off the food-tasting, an important function of his Vice-President.
Bet they do the same in November. Text folks to remind them to vote. It’s one way to get out the youth vote. This may be a test run.
They’re so stupid. The youth vote will be worrying about finals at that point. Barack Obama will be so fifteen minutes ago.
It’ll work only if the text message activates a cattle prod.
JerryG | I am a Hillary supporter but,I now am on John McCains site.I will not stay in a democratic party who used the democrats to get what they want”A nobody” Hilary is who is fit for the comander-n-chief as president no less!McCain is als fit to be -camander-n-cheif.

Why can’t people on this site spell correctly and otherwise demonstrate fifth grade writing skills?
That should be “fifth-grade.” Know your hyphens!
well you being at 5th grade level debbie it must be so easy for you to read the posts
stop whinning and taking up space
Get the fu** off this site Debbie and don’t come back. Has it ever occurred to you that there are people out there that don’t know English very well yet choose to get involved in our supposedly Democratic process. Go to hell!
Your prose is nothing to write home about, Little Debbie, the snack mistress. As a matter of fact, your posts look as though they were written by an adolescent of approximately 14 years of age.
As for our ability to spell and other sundry writing skills, you should remember that you live in a house consisting of an amorphous solid know as silicon dioxide, which breaks upon having rocks puncture its surface.
Now run along and bring us those sleazy snacks you are so good at making.
Too much time reading our KJV’s and cleaning guns…?
go do dallas
You are on the money!! Same here!!
It’ll work only if the text message activates a cattle prod.
You folks are truly delusional. Obama will text message the announcement and then hold a live event with the vp pick.
BTW, here’s pictures of Obama visiting his grandmother with his family:
http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Barack-Obama/ss/events/pl/020807obama;_ylt=AuCV6fcHhwGQ3FkbzTr9hI.yFz4D#photoViewer=/080810/480/6db069706309444c8d8d726dfa365fef
This isn’t a picture of Obama and his family visiting Grandma you delusional fu**! This is a picture of Obama holding one of his children and they are saying they are on their way to visit gramdma. Funny, I saw a later picture of Obama (BY HIMSELF) going up in an elevator to visit with grandma and his family wasn’t with him. I am sick and tired of you Debbie and you were warned yesterday by the administrator’s to stop spamming this website. Keep it up and you are outta here!
You might to work on your use of the apostrophe.
Might to work?
Little Debbie: You should stop being Conan the Grammarian before you make a complete ass out of yourself.
Ah, you found the error - good job!
Ignorant and obnoxious, just like her Daddy Barack.
We are doing my utmost to keep eveyone here truly delusional….
NO WAY do we waat them voting for an empty suit low class text message fool…
Did Obama himself send that false phot op by text message to you debbie “sweetie”?
Whatever made you think to share THIS?!?! There are important things going on in everyone’s lives and even if there weren’t, this would make it seem so.
Debbie don’t you have something or someone to “do” in Dallas? Get thee hence!
ROFL. That should keep her busy.
VP is capitalized, Little Debbie. Such atrocious grammar.
No, vp is not capitalized unless you are referring to a particular vice-president.
Ex: Sometimes a vice-president is chosen for geographic reasons.
Vice President Cheney is from Wyoming.
VP is an acronym you twit. It is capitalized.
Susan B. |You may be on to something here.If you text message him guess whta.He may have your name so he can do a fake vote.
Everybody seen this? So funny - so true! From Count Us Out:
Today’s Rasmussen daily tracking poll has 80% of Democrats supporting Obama and 87% of Republicans supporting McCain. There are still a healthy number of undecideds. This conflicts with the stream of media reports that Obamacons, evangelicals, black conservatives and independents are flocking to Obama.
If you’re an independent, moderate or conservative on the fence about whether to vote for McCain or Obama, here’s a helpful guide:
It’s unlikely you’ll vote for Obama if you….
1. aren’t a news anchor.
2. read the New York Times for pretty much the same reason the NSA monitors radio transmissions.
3. automatically conclude that the person laughing in the car next to you must be listening to Rush. Or maybe Obama off teleprompter.
4. dislocated your shoulder trying to explain Obama’s position on Iraq to co-workers.
5. find autobiographies generally more interesting when the author has, you know, done something.
6. remember the Carter Administration.
7. would give a month’s pay to play Jack Bauer’s partner on 24.
8. increasingly agree with Mark Steyn that “almost everything [Obama] says is, well, nuts.”
9. think it’s relevant — despite what the sophisticates say — that several of Obama’s mentors and associates have displayed a dislike for America or a disdain for Americans.
10. think it’s relevant that several of McCain’s mentors and associates are American heroes of historic magnitude.
11. think about 9/11 more than once a year.
12. have concluded that Larry the Cable Guy makes way more sense than Howard Dean.
13. feel a little safer during turbulence when your pilot is a calm “white haired dude.”
14. thought about Hillary’s 3:00 a.m. phone call ad when you first heard about Russian tanks in Georgia.
15. wonder why Obama felt it necessary to give a speech on patriotism.
16. get sorta creeped out by 200,000 Germans chanting “Obama! Obama!”
17. think the jury may still be out on Harvard Law School.
18. suspect “merci beaucoup” is French for “empty suit.”
19. doubt that teleprompters are really magical dispensers of good ideas.
20. know in your gut that defiantly withstanding 4 1/2 years of torture trumps all of Obama’s qualifications and accomplishments combined — regardless of what the elite pundits say.
21. repeatedly find yourself asking “Change to what?”
22. have ever used the term “pompous twit’ in the same sentence with “Marx,” “Marcuse,” or “Sartre.” 23. don’t like being told what to do — especially by someone who hasn’t done it.
24. really like ticking off the media, Hollywood, academics, and PC busybodies everywhere.
25. weren’t born yesterday.
Score (# of descriptions that apply to you):
0— Go ahead, write in Dennis Kucinich
1—3 Obama may be your choice after all
4—5 You think Hillary got a raw deal and won’t vote Obama
6—24 McCain’s your man
25 It’s OK to write in Reagan
http://countusout.wordpress.com/
Yet Obama has a lead in the realclearpolitics.com polling average of nearly 5 points, which he has averaged since clinching the nomination.
McCain’s gone down recently.
5 points in the popular vote is an electoral vote landslide.
The good “AUTHOR” Debbie has graced us with her presence once again.
I beg for the title of one of your books before so I could get you to autograph it for me and you ignored me.
Please don’t leave us hanging.
Stop the hate!
dippy debbie you must be on at leat $14 an hour this week coming back for more.
bet your Obamas real sweetie UGH?
Debbie Does Dallas works hard for Obambi.
Debbie Does John Edwards?
Is that you Rielle?
smh @ Obama strongarming Edwards and his baby-mama
Not if it’s 5 points in say, Idaho, or Montana. This small a difference in this year that the Dems should OWN is beyond belief. Dukakis was up 15 points at this point when he ran - I wouldn’t be getting all puffed up about 5 - it’s barely more that the margin of error, you twit.
14. thought about Hillary’s 3:00 a.m. phone call ad when you first heard about Russian tanks in Georgia.
16. get sorta creeped out by 200,000 Germans chanting “Obama! Obama!”
21. repeatedly find yourself asking “Change to what?”
I love Sam’s post.
Don’t forget his ego, too: he would have to share the stage with his running mate. Probably something The Anointed One is not very willing to do.
That’s because whoever his running mate is, has got to have about 10 times the experience and ‘gravitas’ that he has (unless of course he’s chosen Bozo the clown … though unfortunately I understand that Bozo recently died after failing to deliver on his promise of a Kissy Doll to a couple of PUMAs … may his clown soul rot in hell).
Anyway, back to the point. Obaby is scared of everyone, including and especially his running mate.
Very apropos comment. I was watching him on the podium with Evan Bayh last week, and he could’t wait to muscle in and take centerstage. Bayh sort of took back the podium and gently got him out of the way.
It also dishonors a HECK of a lot of people who … like me … have NEVER used text messaging. I’m no technophobe. I work for a high tech company and I can write java code and use MATLAB to do statistical analyses. However I’m not the least bit interested in text messaging. So, what, now everyone like me as well as all the so-called ‘low information’ voters are now out of the loop.
What an ass.
It’s not just available as
a text message. You can also get it delivered as an e-mail.And there will be a press conference and plenty of “traditional” media coverage.
BTW, if you folks were around in the 1940s, did you complain about new-fangled contraption — the television?
Sorry about the strikeouts.
It’s OK, you strike out all the time.
LOL!!!!!!!!!
Ooh, SNAP!
Everything with Obama is a gimmick. Theme nights at the convention. E-mail/text messsages about VP choice. We need someone who does not equate the Presidency of the United States to Presidency of the Fraternity.
I think it will be Hillary as VP,temporarily,
Or
If Obama is not a ligitmate person to run for VP or President,than I think Hillary will tell Obama who she wants for her VP,and he will hand over the nomination to her…after his exceptance and fairwell speech. lol
This is all my opinion… This election really is a Hoax,imo
Ha ha, don’t we all wish we could be as optimistic as you are. I’ll send prayers your way, just in case, even though I’m not particularly hopeful on this point.
ladies, gentlemen, big sue,
is it true there’s only 404 of you?
http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/08/how_big_is_puma_now.php
lolz.
He owes those telecoms, he has to give them some business. First immunity for spying on Americans and now he’ll give them millions of text messages, probably crash the servers, LOL. In exchange they’ll pay for the convention and send some lobbyists his way.
Obama is such a gimmick. I’m surprised he isn’t putting his VP choice in the bottem of a can of pepsi or something. It would be just like willy wonka.
Also why has there been no mention of Edwards delegates…This should also be top news,since it involves the outcome of the count,I would think..
Shouldn’t Obama have 29 less delegates? Bringing Clinton closer to his number..
Too many things are not being told..imo
That is another reason,why I think Obama was a plant.imo
First Lady President Clinton,I like the sounds of that….imo
The Edwards delegates endorsed Obama long ago.
Delegates don’t endorse, the candidate does. Gee, poor grammar, poor choices, poor thing. Gee Little Debbie, all you do is have mass and occupy space, huh?
Sam you are so correct!! I am with you 100%
What the hell? Does he know how this feels to the poor, older folks and lower middle class who can’t afford or are unaware on how to text message? God what an arrogant snob. I can’t begin to describe how much I loathe that asshole.
Hilarious!
So now only those hip enough to text are on a “need to know” basis!
Damn! I knew I should have taken those digital dexterity courses!
I though Invesco was a gimmick…these folks have outdone themselves.
The true American Idol presidency is here - do standard text messaging rates apply? Maybe he can get Ryan Seacrest to host the first debate.
I think he should juggle pumas on America’s Got Talent.
God, I really do hate Obama and I mean hate him. He is probably going to have to select Hillary because everyone else is turning the dirty prick down. He wouldn’t want to have to do it on a national stage. He wants to give her another slap or two. I hope I am wrong and even if I’m not I hope she turns him down flat. What an f***ing joke of a canadidate he is. Down with the democratic party. I don’t want any of them in office anymore. At least with republicans you know that they love America. They may not love all of us but no one is going to take America down with them in control. The democratic party is dead and I mean dead and buried. It is over. The media, a long gone thing of the past. You now only have hype shows.
JP - Yes! Agreed!
At least you know where you stand with conservatives–and some of them even respect Pumas!
I’ve been visiting “POLITICALLY DRUNK WITH POWER” site where the fellow who owns it writes about Pumas and protects them on his site. He’s collected 200,000 anti-obama petitions! He’s Independent-Conservative with a Puma streak!!! And he roars!
Now, that’s what I call respect. “Politically Drunk with Power” is a decent Independent guy. Please visit his site and see. I was quite….shocked when he just printed a letter from Schneider L. a former Obama supporter who tells all about why they silenced her at the site!…She’s a Puma now…
As if he won’thave a major press conference on the subject. Let’s just wait and see if he does. When he does, remember this silly piece.
This isn’t about a press conference; it’s about him text messaging the information as though he were a high school freshman. Try to stay on topic for a change. Your flights of irrelevancy are not a wonder to behold.
First, the European “Tour,”, now this. Brilliant.
Hey bambi - don’t U change a thang!!
Perhaps Obamarama wants to use the ‘text messaging’ of his V-P….cause it’s Hillary and he wants to avoid contrasts casting him in negative light! He can’t handle it.
Obamarama will be the First Remote Control President!
with a fully interactive website where you can go to make him say things
How will all of the real voters, the ones that actually show up at the polls feel about this?
Too many actual voters over 50 do not text. Obama is
really stupid to think this will get him the sure and steady vote. He will get the indecisive, OMG, short attention span vote.
Haha. 2 funny ;
He’ll get about a million simultaneous reply texts back that all say:
“OMG WTF HRC?”
He is not called the candidate of ‘change’ for nothing.
Let us not forget
