Get a Shovel? Hell Keith, Get a Brain!

This is truly astonishing. If the delusional crap spun by Olberman is indicative of all thinking among Obamabots then Barack is truly in trouble. Check out this exchange between Olberman and Scarborough:

Bill Clinton’s performance tonight was masterful. He reminded Democrats of what he accomplished in 8 years and graciously stated that the same could be true of Obama. Bill also set the bar very high for what Obama has to accomplish. Clinton is the master of the intimacy of the convention center, which allows him to make everyone listening feel as if he is talking to them. But he also framed the upcoming election in terms that surely has Obama’s advisors kicking themselves. Why?

For starters they will have to reluctantly concede that Barack’s attacks on Bill Clinton’s Presidency were wrong. Bill has mapped out campaign themes for them. They now have to follow Clinton’s lead or look like the clowns they are. And then there will be the comparison between Bill tonight and Barack tomorrow. But Barack is not speaking in an intimate setting. He will try to match Bill in an outdoor stadium dressed up like a John Belushi Toga Party. Not only will Barack be unable to re-create the sense of “I’m talking just to you” that Bill Clinton demonstrated. Nope. He will be in an outdoor arena that will certainly conjure up something like the public rallies filmed by Leni Riefenstahl. It will be the kind of pageantry that will repel rather than attract many Americans.

Barack would not have as much a problem with most Hillary supporters if he had run a campaign praising the accomplishments of the Clinton era. He could have made the case that he was ready to bring a new vision to build on the foundation laid by Bill, but he did not. He ran against Bill’s legacy but did not mention him by name. Nope. He praised Ronald Reagan for changing the direction of the country. He said Reagan did it in a way that Clinton did not. Don’t take my word. Thank God for video tape.

Let’s give Bill Clinton credit. He had every reason to tell this chump to shove it. Instead, he rose above his personal hurt and the insults, and still tried to help Barack. But Bill can’t win it for Barack. As the days unfold folks will come to appreciate more and more that Barack is no Bill Clinton. We know Bill Clinton. Barack, you ain’t got the stuff.

Larry,

Barack “coulda, woulda, shoulda”

a LONGGGGGGGGG time ago!

The Clinton’s have proven (yet again) they are an A-Number-One Class ACT

AND the striking polar opposite is in FULL VIEW with MO and her DUPE

walking examples of what 20 yrs of hate speech will do to a face!!!

Comment by jc | 2008-08-27 22:12:30

Larry, Great! I love those comparisons between BO and the Clintons! They are glaring! But only for people who have eyes! Not to mention brains. And we know there aren’t too many brains out there!

My God, Please give me Clintons back! I need to believe again.

Thanks Larry for your right on observations! and great articulation.

JC

And we know there aren’t too many brains out there!

I’d say there a lot of brains out there, Bill Clinton is a great example. In fact, if you take President and Senator Clinton’s remarks as book ends, Bill and Hillary put BO is in a world of “What Happened?”, faster than the time it takes to “up and disappear like a fart in the wind”.

BO won’t have any Shaw Shank Redemtion waitin’ for ‘em.

Bingo! Obama was first and foremost campaigning against the Clinton legacy–which was such a big mistake! He lost a huge chunk of voters because he chose to be so bone-headed. And Obama is supposed to have good judgment!

As you say, Obama could have chosen to build upon the Clinton legacy without delving into nostalgia, etc, but instead chose to make the Clintons the enemy. And he wonders why PUMAS exist!

The Obamas are so small in comparison to the Clintons!

This is Obama’s wet dream…

Notice that they sing “he’s the ‘one’”…

Sorry, “I can see clearly now…”

Obama has no track record on positions I care about. Present votes and six oops, I made a mistake on “the voting button” does not inspire confidence…

Where is the beef? Where is the Democrat?

Comment by mr. natural | 2008-08-27 22:37:51

Keith Ohlbermann is a piece of trash. Cornell University has no responsibility for this tool.

However, for such a great Applied Sciences [Physics, Math, Engineering, et.al] Research University you don’t think of Broadcast Journalism and Cornell in the same sentence.

For a man who thinks he’s the reincarnation of Edward R. Murrow, my Washington State University alumni would beg to differ and so would the Edward R. Murrow School of Communications at WSU.

I’m glad I studied Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, particularly the former–you can’t bs your way to a degree.

Comment by Clinton Fan | 2008-08-28 03:15:10

The bastard’s gotten very FAT along with being most obnoxious, hasn’t he?

And his hair!!! WOW, does it look like greasy, messy shit when he doesn’t have the MSNBC makeup studio at his beck and call–he looks like fatty dogmeat, warmed over!

I know it’s mean to make fun of peoples’ appearances (though men do it about women all the time, and get away with it) but I do think it’s interesting to see a person’s interior viciousness and pure ugliness manifest itself on the exterior they present to the world.

I wonder how Katy Tur is enjoying shacking up with a great big fat bastard? And an OLD, WHINEY, childish, UNPROFESSIONAL great big fat bastard, to boot? Poor thing is wasting her youth on that geezer…tempis fugit, after all!

Now that BO is the official Dem Candidate, I hope the Rethugs will give us a little taste of what’s to come. It would be hilarious if MEcHELLe’s Whitey taped were released early Thur. morning. I’d give anything to see BO stutter through his acceptance speech after that. And MEcHELLe……………………

Barack Obama is no Bill Clinton, and Michelle Obama is no Hillary Clinton.

At least the Clintons love America. Michelle and Barack, on the other hand, jumped up and down at their pew in the GOD DAMN AMERIKKKA Church in inner city Chicago for twenty years.

Comment by mr. natural | 2008-08-27 22:51:49

Gotta wonder how many months of Reverend Wrong we’ll be treated to courtesy of the Republicans.

I can see it now. Intercut Barky’s smirking lecturing with Reverend Wright’s screaming.

And play that ad every ten minutes from now until election day.

Man oh Man. What a waste of a perfectly dreadful presidency.

Comment by Bigtime | 2008-08-28 04:22:53

I think the biggest stick the republicans will use on the One, will be Rekzo and the other cohorts of corruption the One has surrounded himself with . So many reasons not to vote for The One that it could me a multi-pronged assault.

Nobama!!

 
 

Comment by suzanne | 2008-08-28 01:15:11

cut this garbage…its so unnecessary. how you think obama’s words are so praising of Reagan and attacking CLinton is beyond me. listen to what he says…reagan’s term of officed ushered in a new direction, and it did. big deal, the country was ready for the stupid light on a hill, as RR said. I hated the guy, but there is no denying he took this country out of its pit…that’s not saying that Reagans’ policies were good! Do any of you have a brain??

Comment by Grail Guardian | 2008-08-28 06:30:05

Yah. We have enough brains to realize that 8 years of a Clinton Presidency left us with money in our pockets and a good feeling about America. Reagan left us feeling broke and scared of the rest of the world. Not much of a choice, IMHO.

If Obama had shown even an iota of “Party Unity” he would never have bashed fellow Democrats. Praising Reagan was just fodder for the Republicans. Face it, the dream of a Democratic POTUS went under the bus last night, and you’re to stupid to even realize it. Fool.

Comment by ndree | 2008-08-28 09:24:11

BO in NOT a Democrat…he is NOTHING; he uses people, things, institutions to further personal ambition. The list is long: Ayers, Trinity, AAs, Edwards, his own grandmother, Hillary, Bill, the list is looooong. A man without a soul, and absolutely no principles.

 
 

Comment by M. Simon | 2008-08-28 07:16:44

Reagan was a Democrat. Until he felt that the Party was going in the wrong direction.

Comment by Lucinda | 2008-08-28 07:31:05

That’s true. Remember Reagan’s famous words, “I haven’t left the Democratic party. It has left me.” A lot of Dems are echoing those words this year.

The Clintons are shrewd, and even the GOP knows it. Tomorrow the tiny man Barry is will be apparent as he chants hollow slogans to his fervent cultists. The contrast with Hillary and Bill will be too much to surmount.

Comment by AX10 | 2008-08-27 22:01:55

And the Clinton’s do NOT need props such as
a mock up of a Greek Temple to enhance who
they are and what their message is.
Shame on the Democratic party for forcing this
schmuck onto America.

Comment by AnnieCarmel | 2008-08-27 22:39:29

Can you imagine trying to lay out a platform in that setting? Well, that’s alright since they don’t want the public at large or even Democrats to know just what their agenda or party platform really is.

hmmmm, let’s see note to self: 1. Appoint Minister Farrakhan as head of Treasury and Redistribution. 2. Bill Ayers as Secretary of Education…free anything to anyone of color. 3. MEchille, Secretary of Health and Welfare (cut off SS and unemployment to whitey for Reparations.) 4. Call Ludacris to rewrite that crummy anthem and invite for an overnight in the Lincoln room. No, I don’t think they’d like it to be public.

 
 

Comment by trixta | 2008-08-27 22:54:12

So true! Both Sen Clinton and Pres Clinton laid out the themes (general and specific) for Obama. They also defined the core concerns of the Democratic Party! The Clintons are a true class act!

If Obama gives one more speech about “hope” or “change” or “we are the ones we’ve been waiting for” I’m gonna scream!

Sadly, the Ozombies don’t realize that this grandiose Greek setting is ripe for satire and parody. I guess I’ve got to pull out my Halloween Greek garb for the occasion. Laura Ingram on Fox is already making fun of the whole Greek spectacle. Didn’t Obama get the memo that the Repugs have already poked fun at this type of PR & staging?

Comment by Tyrione | 2008-08-27 23:22:55

Think of it as the new Bob Newhart drinking game.

For everytime you hear hope and change you have to take a drink. I bet you’ll be on your face in twenty minutes during Bambi’s speech tomorrow night.

 

Comment by Marjorie | 2008-08-28 08:09:23

“So true! Both Sen Clinton and Pres Clinton laid out the themes (general and specific) for Obama. They also defined the core concerns of the Democratic Party!” Exactly, Trixta!
Hillary and Bill Clinton possibly did more damage to Obama by pointing out what he must do if he wins the election than any outright criticism could ever damage him. The acclaim each of them received from the persons at the convention must have been very intimidating. And the crowd’s reception for Bill Clinton-was it the longest standing ovation in history? Think Brazille, Dean, Obama, and Kennedy are having second thoughts?

 
 
 

Comment by katmandu | 2008-08-27 21:56:17

Bill Clinton was one of the most successful, intelligent, and compassionate Presidents the U.S. has had. He actually fought a war where oil was not the chief concern — humanity was.

Comment by trixta | 2008-08-27 22:59:13

WTF!!!!! Wolfson just said on Greta Van Sustern’s show (Fox) that Pres Clinton’s speech was not shown on the network stations. Is this true?

If so, I guess they were worried he would outshine Obama somehow. The truth is, no one can deliver a speech like Clinton!

Comment by Leo Ashy | 2008-08-27 23:28:18

i was going to say, no, but come to think of it, I was watching my pbs channel. Hmmmmmm. There was some talk yesterday that the DNC was going to put a 5 second delay on his speech in case he said something naughty. I wonder if they scrapped that idea in favor of shutting him down on networks. I’m curious, too.

 

Comment by Lucinda | 2008-08-28 07:34:43

It wasn’t shown on the broadcast channels only on the cable news channels, PBS and C-Span. The broadcast channels haven’t been showing any of the convention during primetime. (8-11 p.m.) They’ve been showing their regular programming.

 
 
 

Comment by Ani | 2008-08-27 21:56:48

Some Democrat Barack is, praising Reaganomics on the campaign trail — which he did regularly, by the way. He’s trying to tell us Reagan did better for us than Bill Clinton? Good luck with that.

Comment by Sharon | 2008-08-27 22:31:45

My Economic teacher in college in the l980’s said what it would be like in America today with Reagan policies. We would be a service nation no longer an industrial nation. People would be working 2 jobs to make a living, hospitalization or education would not be affordable and so on. Everytime I hear Obama mention Reagan’s name I just want to puke. To me that is a good reason not to vote for him. The Clinton l990’s were the best years for me, family members and friends and for most Americans. I would give anything to have those years again. After 8 years of Bush, I believed Hillary would have rolled up her sleeves and worked for the middle class on day 1.

Guess Obama is at the wrong convention. His takes place next week. I wonder if the GOP will play the video of Obama praising their grand leader Reagan.

Oh, this is rich—a republican nominated Obama today at the convention!

Comment by Northwest rain | 2008-08-27 23:21:33

Well I guess Soetoro can make up the rules as he goes along. A Republican nominating a democrat? That is just so wrong — but then Soetoro is a slimy creep.

Since the “convention” is now over —

The next event is —– who will McCain choose as his running mate?

 

Comment by Leo Ashy | 2008-08-27 23:32:53

I suppose it’s all meant to pander to the Republican voters that aren’t strong on McCain. Boy, they had better take a good hard look before jumping ship.

Gallup didn’t show a bump yesterday after Hillary’s speech. We’ll have to see what tomorrow brings. It seems that in Obamaland a 4-point lead would be setting the world on fire. Hmmm? Compare that to Bill Clinton’s 16-point post-convention lead.

Comment by PUMA | 2008-08-27 22:51:45

You’re right. I think the only thing holding them back is the campaign debt. They’re not that rich they can shovel their own way out. As for party fidelity: I think you nailed it. They’re both staunch party members but they need to get a clue: what they’re looking at is not repeat not their party.

Comment by PUMA | 2008-08-27 22:12:42

They ACCLAIMED Obama? They sidestepped the entire voting process where Hillary would have looked strong with her 18,000,000+ voters? They hijacked the nomination and held an ACCLAMATION?

Is no one going to react?

Can this dangerous DNC be prevented from taking part in the GE?

Comment by Buzz Latte | 2008-08-27 22:24:20

Indeed. We were disappointed that no one has stood up during the convention and spoken the truth.

Now we’ll have to let the courts work in the matter of Berg Vs Obama and the other lawsuit filed in IL over Obama lying on his Bar application.

Besides that, it wait ’til Nov, don’t stay home and by all means Vote for McCain.

Obama must never reach the WH.

 

Comment by dee4hill | 2008-08-27 22:38:25

Yep. They made sure they stole the whole thing - from the illegal caucases, Rules and Bylaws Committee shenanigans, and now they’ve “Acclaimed” Barky. What the Hell is that?

Sounds like, looks like and smells a coup d’état to me. And isn’t it funny how they’ve gotten away with it on national television, right under the voter’s noses. It’s mass hysteria. Pitiful.

And did you notice that California and other states passed? I’m sure Pelosi had her hand in that. Must have been that Hillary was going to make The One look weak with all her delegates, so she made them step aside.

Just added more fuel to the fire for me. I will work my heart out for John McCain. I love Hillary and Bill, and when she comes back in ‘12, I’ll do the same for her. But I will not - NOT - vote for The Thief.

McCain ‘08
Hillary ‘12

Comment by Zee | 2008-08-27 22:43:11

Dee, Murphy told us that this was planned…California would pass so that Hillary would never be ahead in the count even momentarily.

This is a page right out of the Bush, Rove and corporate media playbook. I remember they did they same thing in 2004, when none of the stations would place NH in Kerry’s until Bush had enough of a count to make sure Kerry was not ahead for even one moment.

One station even turned NH blue only to instantly blink it white again…you can imagine some poor uninformed soul getting screamed at for posting the results because he was not in on the ruse.

Comment by Rocky Mountain High | 2008-08-27 22:59:50

Obama wins nomination by Acclamation? It sounds like he won by default.

CA who had 441 delegates passed in the roll call. By the time they got down to NY, Obama had only 1520 or so, then Hillary moves to nominate via acclamation. I don’t think they were worried that Hillary would get it if they let it play out till the very last state had a chance to be heard, but I think their biggest worry was that Obama would not reach the magic number of 2210 which was needed, which would have caused a big kafuffle.

This was rigged, just like the caucuses in Texas and other states. They had to give it to him via acclamation, which is just like affirmative action, they need to lower the bar for him.

There is no way Obama could win the General Election. The GOP will make mince meat out of him now. The Clintons did everything they could for him, which showed class and dignity. Now they can’t be blamed when he loses.

Comment by Leo Ashy | 2008-08-27 23:49:24

Yes, you’ve got it. Obama’s the affirmative action candidate. He gets the nod just for showing up to the party. I hope he doesn’t expect the same treatment at the G.E.

Comment by roseeriter | 2008-08-28 04:15:00

Seems there is an element of evil in America today. The AAs are being exploited by CORPORATE CONTROLLED Government and MEDIA using all the media GIMMICKS to PROP up Obama and his cult, the Clintons are being DEMEANED. The Democratic Party has OFFICIALLY become a LAUGHING STOCK. WOMEN are mere CHATTEL and BUSHCO gets a free ride for the Occupation and murder of millions of innocent people.

And OUR VOTES DO NOT COUNT. We are witnessing the destruction of DEMOCRACY right before our dumbed down, drug ridden CELEB Idolatry eyes and there is NOTHING the SANE citizens can do about it.

Comment by Bigtime | 2008-08-28 04:54:03

When you phrase our situation like that ,it sounds dire for America and Democracy. I felt this way after the 2000 Supreme Court selection of W and the whole mess was displayed on TV and where were the protests and outrage and Media coverage? I think we have already seen the beginnings of the fall of a great civilization.

Nobama!!

This whole coup was planned YEARS ago. What are the odds that the last night of the Democratic Convention would end on the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech?” This is Act IV in the Dog and Pony Show.

They really do believe we’re so stupid we would believe this is all just a wonderful coincidence….an AA is the first Dem nominee and his acceptance speech just happens to be given on the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s speech. Crock-’O-CRAP.

Thoughts on a little project: Let’s all write John McCain, who can appeal to a lot more disaffected Democrats by making some plank changes, keeping in mind that repuglies always vote for the person thrust on them (think the idiot bush), so will vote McCain regardless. Hey John McCain, promise you will appoint judges that represent all Americans, not the jerkoffs the now screw over America. Work hard to promote alternative fuels, and go after the fisa criminals, put them in prison where they belong. Stop the offshore oil drilling scam, and work for the immigrants who have given so much for our country, who have had to endure so much lately just for republican political advantage. There is so much you can do to win over true Democrats that will be very good for America. Then more Democrats who recognise what a fraud obama is will vote for you. Oh, and one more thing. Tell Rush, Rove and all the other pieces of shit like them to shove it, that you represent all Americans. If you do this, you’ll be a shoo in. Thanks for listening.

Larry: I’m a PUMA and it’s time we take a stand against the democracy that has been presented to us today.

Many young people really don’t know what it is to struggle every day to make ends meet. They rely on parents or guardians to supply them with they want. You can’t blame them for not vetting Obama, or falling for the hope and change line. It sounds good and that’s what they’re use to.

We, like always, must fight for our country. We can’t let an inexperienced, not trustworthy character pull off this election process and win in November. It will take each one of us to vote against him.

I’m disappointed in the roll call. That was not a roll call; it was a mark against all we Americans stand for. If we let this go without retribution, that means we lose.

>I’m disappointed in the roll call. That was not a >roll call; it was a mark against all we Americans >stand for. If we let this go without retribution, >that means we lose.

This will not go without retribution! There are millions of Hillary supporters and PUMAs that will not vote for Obama and punish the democrats for the way they conducted their primary elections. I for one am not convinced to vote for Obama, and there is nothing he can say tomorrow in his shrine to change my mind.

The democrats know how to lose elections they are suppose to win. They will lose this one. They do not deserve to win. There is too much corruption and sexism that has to be dealt with, corrected and healed. The liberal media has a lot to answer for as well for contributing to the illusion Obama has spun. Leave it to the GOP, one thing they know how to do well is win general elections.

This is a time to put country first above party. Obama is not the right person for the country at this time. It doesn’t matter what party he is attached to. Remember, the reasons the Republicans weren’t that thrilled with McCain at first, is because he’s not a wingnut, and is more of a centrist. One thing McCain has is a consistent record of bipartizenship. He is close to center on many issues.

Comment by Grail Guardian | 2008-08-28 06:54:14

It can’t stop with Obama. We need to send ALL the Dems that supported him packing. We need to elect Green and Independent candidates in November. Send a message. They certainly can’t do any worse than the 2 parties we’ve allowed ourselves to be stuck with.

Time for a real change.

Agree completely.
Did you notice that Wexler, the rep who sold FL down the drain, was MIA? He’s facing reelection against a Dem (running as an Independent) who is well known in local politics. Hope Wexler isn’t expecting BO to pay him back.

Olberman is mental. It’s bad enough to shout down your guests, but to do it to one of your peers is about as disrespectful as you can get. I honestly believe when Barky loses, he’s headed for a complete breakdown.

Don’t call Joe Scar respectable. Dumped his wife for a preggers aide. (No clue what happened to the baby…doesn’t seem to have been born) Ran for office one more time even tho he knew all this. Resigned so as to hand the office over to another rethug. Claimed it was to spend time with his kids during the divorce and promptly dumped them, too, to move to NYC for the TV gig.

Meanwhile another aide of his was bludgeoned to death in his office in Florida and Joe himself called all the news outlets and lied that this young, healthy woman (Lori Klausutis) had a “history of health problems.” I sourced this myself.

Governor Jebby Bush had an unlicensed Medical Examiner who had been kicked out of another state for fraud sign off on this bullshit.

Im want a big long break from politics, and think I’ll jump right back on board when and if Hillary runs in 2012.

Don’t feel too bad. We’re living history.

Remember reading about Hitler fueling his rise to power by telling his followers that they were the chosen, the superior, and thinking to yourself, no, people couldn’t be that blind?

Remember when Dubya campaigned for the presidency, how outrageous it seemed that people would actually buy a Yale grad’s good ol’ boy act? Remember how we all laughed at the sheer unadulterated credulity of the suckers who voted him in? Remember how superior we felt to them?

Now you know the truth… We have met the enemy, and it is us.

Larry, you are dead ON here:

“For starters they will have to reluctantly concede that Barack’s attacks on Bill Clinton’s Presidency were wrong. Bill has mapped out campaign themes for them. They now have to follow Clinton’s lead or look like the clowns they are. …Barack would not have as much a problem with most Hillary supporters if he had run a campaign praising the accomplishments of the Clinton era. … He praised Ronald Reagan for changing the direction of the country. He said Reagan did it in a way that Clinton did not. ”

BINGO.

Clinton was MASTERFUL!!!! And not one news station ran with the never ending standing ovation he got.

He also wrote his own speech. lol Barack must be seething…Michelle, every time they showed her looked like she just swallowed a rotten peanut.

This convention is over. Everyone knows it should’ve been the Clintons cleaning up after another Bush.

Reagan and particularly the Bush family all the way back to Prescott Bush have always hated FDR and were determined to gut the New Deal. Prescott Bush was even a part of an assassination conspiracy against FDR. All of the privatization they’ve been trying to ram through as well as de-regulation is part of that plan. Lucky for us that Bush hasn’t been totally successful. I think Mac will be reasonable without a Republican congressional majority regarding regulations, etc.

After nearly starving for 2 generations after the Civil War, FDR was a beloved hero to my family.

Just in case you wondered…

We are FDR/Reagan/Clinton/McCain Democrats.
This coalition also includes PUMA..

We are deciding this election as we have decided every election in modern history
Obama doesn’t meet the min requirements for the job of president.

We are looking for a much better experienced candidate in a time great of crisis.
We are looking for a candidate with core values and convictions that have passed many laws and stood behind them despite opposition.
We are looking for a candidate that values country before party, country before self.
We want a candidate who will defend America and will never surrender and will never cause America to be humiliated.

John McCain won the Iraq war for America!

Obama wished defeat for America and therefore is disqualified from being president by all these voters who decide every election.

“NO WAY AM I VOTING FOR OBAMA/BIDEN, I WILL VOTE
REPUBLICAN BEFORE I KISS-AZZ AND VOTE FOR OBAMA”!!

BIDEN’S PRO-ABORTION STANCE WILL COST OBAMA ELECTION!
By: George J. Marlin

The Obama campaign knows it is in trouble in the key swing states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Public opinion polls show that many practicing Catholics who voted for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries as the lesser of two evils are now leaning toward the pro-life, pro-gun John McCain.

To blunt this voting trend, Sen. Obama has chosen as his vice presidential running mate, a baptized Catholic from blue-collar Scranton, Pa. – Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware.

The instant media analysis that Biden will help Obama in the heavily Catholic populated rust-belt states, however, may be wishful thinking because of Biden’s pro-abortion stance.

It appears the Democrats never learn. Four years ago pro-abortion Catholic John Kerry received fewer Catholic votes than the 2000 Democratic candidate, Protestant Al Gore.

In 2004, practicing Catholics were the decisive factor in numerous swing states. In Ohio, for instance, 65 percent of them voted for Bush, and in Florida the president’s support from practicing Catholics reached 66 percent. Working-class Catholics, many of whom were of Eastern European origins, stuck with the president, because they agreed with him on cultural and moral issues.

These issues were more important to them then their economic woes.

“OBAMA MADE ANOTHER BAD DECISION WITH JOE BIDEN”!!
WITH BIDEN AS VP IS LIKE HAVING JOHN McCAIN!!
BIDEN IS 65 YRS OLD, BEEN IN THE SENATE 35 YRS, HE’S
VERY VERY LIBERAL AND HAS HAD HEART PROBLEMS TWICE!!
“VOTE COUNTRY FIRST” NO WAY OBAMA!!

Freedom Fighter - for whose freedom do you want to fight for - if you support Obama, you are supporting someone who has put his stamp of approval on silencing the voice of voters of your own party in this election. This travesty not only happened today at the roll call, but also at the rules committee on May 31 of this year.

There are also reports of fraud at the caucuses - How can you as an American support a candidate who allowed this to happen just to be elected. If he allows the votes of his party to be silenced, what do you think he will do if he is elected president?

That is something you should think long and hard about. If you support these tactics, then you are not really a fighter for freedom. You are someone who would willingly take freedom from your fellow Americans.

Have to say I feel the same. Never thought I would see the day I would vote for a Republican, but after watching Obama demean the Clinton’s and send out his race baiter surrogates (always allowing the message to be sent for at least 3 days before denouncing it and making it appear, with the MSMs help that he was “above it all”) I will never vote for Obama and will dance the happy dance when McCain wins. Just hope “liberal” Dems in the House and the Senate learn a lesson from the spanking they are about to get and deserve and can hold onto their small majority.

You are so on the money here, Larry. And I think Michelle Obama knew it, too. Her expression of rage throughout Bill Clinton’s talk was very telling. She knows her husband cannot match what she saw tonight. I think she was angry at Bill Clinton for putting it on display once again for us to see. The people in the hall had an amazing response to Bill Clinton. It was good to see him again, in charge. He commanded the stage as he reminded us of his own legacy and Hillary’s triumph. Imagine if she had won the nomination? Like the primaries, the convention would have been truly exciting … not this staged pagent. It is said that Michelle is “the brains” of the Obama outfit … if so, she cannot deny what she witnessed tonight. The nomination, delivered by Hillary herself as a “by acclamation” event, went to the weaker candidate.

Susan Estridge and Greta Van Sustern (at Fox) have just said that they’ve been flooded with emails from men and women who still aren’t voting for Obambi!

Now, we realize he just started the death knell on Obama’s bid for the presidency. By praising his enemy, Bill ratted him out!

Obama is none of the things Bill accentuated as strong points. The crowd began to get uncomfortable with all the adulation given to Obama because they fundamentally knew they were lies. Lies slyly spoken to out Obama for the empty suit he really is.

Thank you Big Dawg for the slick stiletto knife right into the guts of Obama and the DNC.

Bill Clinton gave an outstanding speech today in support of Barack Obama. I hope the Obots appreciate it. I can’t imagine what he had to take to keep his stomach settled. Bill was gracious enough to make the comparison between himself and Obama by pointing out that the Republicans had made the same case against him that he (Bill) was too inexperienced. Though, he left out the fact that he had been a successful state governor–he had actually done something substantial. The Clintons have done all they can for him, and now he’s going to have to win this on his own merits. You’ve got that right Larry, he’s no Bill Clinton.

From Bill Clinton’s speech tonight at the Dem convention: Our — our nation is in trouble on two fronts. The American dream is under siege at home, and America’s leadership in the world has been weakened. Middle-class and low-income Americans are hurting, with incomes declining, job losses, poverty, and inequality rising, mortgage foreclosures and credit card debt increasing, health care coverage disappearing, and a very big spike in the cost of food, utilities, and gasoline.

And our position in the world has been weakened by too much unilateralism and too little cooperation…

(APPLAUSE)

… by a perilous dependence on imported oil, by a refusal to lead on global warming, by a growing indebtedness and a dependence on foreign lenders, by a severely burdened military, by a backsliding on global nonproliferation and arms control agreements, and by a failure to consistently use the power of diplomacy, from the Middle East to Africa to Latin America to Central and Eastern Europe.

(APPLAUSE)

Clearly, the job of the next president is to rebuild the American dream and to restore American leadership in the world.

OK — he just put the bar up there for Obama — and as we know Obama doesn’t have a clue about the economy or “leadership”.

Google Bill Clinton speech - Democratic Convention + transcript. Links aren’t posting here lately.

Read the words — I agree with others who have pointed out that Clinton had several messages within his speech. Mostly he told us that Obama can not deliver on any promises.

Now Clinton needs to go to Africa and continue his work there — THEY need him and appreciate him there.

——— I prefer to read the transcript of speeches — the structure and the order of the words. When I read Obama’s speech on “racism” — I saw that HE was the racists and that he threw his grandmother under the bus. He was disrespectful of his white grandmother — later calling her a typical white women (typical - racist - white women, implied in his remark).

Bill Clinton’s speech was about the REALITY of the world we live in and the problems face by the next President. Then Bill explained the illusion that is Soetoro/Obama — in the last part of the speech. It is significant that the words quoted above came from the beginning of the speech — and then the Obama the illusionist was at the end of the speech.

Read the speech — read it several times — look at the structure and the words chosen by Clinton.

The Obamabots will be quoting the last part of Clinton’s speech telling us that we must “obey” the Clintons and mindlessly vote for the ONE.

But we know that Obama is not prepare for the reality of the world — the FIRST part of Clinton’s speech.

I’d pay money to watch Joey Scar get himself a shovel and then whack Keith Obamamann in the face with it.
Speaking of Keith Obamamann’s face, he’s aged 10 years in about three months. Something has really gone wrong with him.

Certain body fluids are skin irritants. So I’m guessing he’s had too much o’ ‘Bama.

hahahaha, what another slap in teh face of the clintons, and the show of lack of respect for Bill, not to air him prime time, mmm well if it was such a great speech they should have had a little faith to show it, what will people say, mmm no thank you Bill , A man who wanted to be king , will now be the Greek god that will be raised to speak to his zombies, bow down i say and kiss the feet of your God, boy will Republicans have a field day with Obama, nobama ever, a silent vote is a vote for O, a stay home vote a third party vote, is a vote saying it is ok for the DNC to over look the fact they let sexism occur in a Presidential race and that the selected one was not the candidate to lead with experience, I will not help elect O by staing home, Country before Party.

Biden attempted to say O had good judement, well were was the good judgement on the speech to disarm our nukes, to not give the funding to our American troops, how about all those present votes, that could of help the poor and the middle income, that he did not take a stand to stand up for , the Indians, how about that ayers board that funneled money to terrorist groups ,and a education board that failed, his radical friends of hate, Farahkhan, ayers, Wright, Acorn, what a great group of freinds along with the Chicago thugs, its ok America, lets vote for change , a word that he has re dressed many times, and hope , the hope that he can pull the blinders on the American people by saying I did not know? ya right, more too come, and boy the Republicans are going to have a great candidate that has a proven record who work both sides of the aisles , experience and pride that he will stand up for the troops. No thank you McCain will be the one I will vote for , I own my vote and will vote for the best qualified candidate to lead the country, because we have seen O do very little for the workingclass people, other than a community organizer, a whooping 3 yrs, that he did not accomplish anything, until he meet the Chicago politicians of dishonesty, what others will say, about the Do for me , and Ill do for you candidate is that he was the chosen one , that succeeded very little but kissed lots of butt to get to where he was at. He is no Lincoln, RFK Rober k, Mlk, jessie jackson Sr, , Reagan, or even Bill, who had a life with the conviction to stand up for their true cause,.. Nobama.

As I predictaed a few months back, Keith Obamamann is flaming out in dramatic fashion, just like he always has at every job he’s ever held.
Here are some more stories about him loosing his mind:

‘Let’s Wrap Him Up’: Olbermann Tries To Get Rid of Republican Murphy
By Mark Finkelstein (Bio | Archive)
August 27, 2008 - 22:50 ET

Few Republicans have made it onto MSNBC air during the network’s Dem convention coverage, but even that is apparently too much for Keith Olbermann. As Chris Matthews was interviewing GOP consultant Mike Murphy in the interlude between Bill Clinton and Joe Biden tonight, Olbermann could be heard off-camera angrily demanding “let’s wrap him up, alright?”</em>

MSNBC prez defends convention team

DENVER — Amid a spate of awkward on-air conflicts among MNSBC anchors at this week’s Democratic convention, some staff members say there are sharp internal disputes at the cable network over whether its opinion and personality-driven political coverage has crossed the line.

The situation at our channel is about to blow up,” a high-ranking MSNBC journalist told Politico on Wednesday.

Two other MSNBC sources said some of the testy on-air exchanges between Keith Olbermann — whose quick-witted and often caustic commentary has fueled ratings growth — and other network

Kieth Olberrman…God, Obama should have picked him as his VP.

Now that would have been a Change Agent ticket.

But seriously, when is the television Mafia going to pick him up take him behind the woodshed and beat him with a rubber hose?

The man is a loose canon.

I saw Clinton’s speech Los Angeles Time around 6 pm on NBC, I think it was live too. It was over at just about 6:30 as I was late to my 7 pm meeting.

DROP DEAD KEITH OLBERMANN and CHRIS MATTHEWS! DROP DEAD!!!!

 

Comment by Beowulf | 2008-08-28 01:56:53

“Get a shovel”?

Geeze, coming from Olbermann who actually cited Bob “I see Dicks!” Herbert’s NY Times article about nonexistent phallic symbols in McCain’s Britney-Paris ad against Obama, it means absolutely NOTHING.

As a diehard liberal, I normally like Olbermann a lot, particularly for his Bush bashing. But this election season, he’s turned into quite the royal shithead.

The mean season, or swiftboating and whatnot, hasn’t even started yet. Even so, Obama’s polls have taken a nose dive–BIG TIME, particularly in the critical battleground states.

 

Comment by ame | 2008-08-28 05:50:52

Everyday I hear Olbermann say more outrageous things. Eventually he’ll implode and msnbc will have to get rid of him. He’ll most likely take Matthews down with him.

Comment by Perry Logan | 2008-08-28 06:08:44

Keith Olbermann is a blowhard, a poseur, and a misogynist.

Rev Wright said it best “politicians do what politicians have to do”. The Clintons did what they had to do but how many bought it? Please roll Rev Wrights footage. All of it!! Roll Obama speech then roll the footage about the polticians .Priceless.

 

Comment by EyesOpen | 2008-08-28 06:36:20

I listened to Bill on the radio driving home. These things are sometimes better without the visuals. My reaction: the amount of cheer at the opening of his speech was a blow-out, very cool. Second, (agree with Larry) the tone was why fight it? He set the bar incredibly high for the role and tried to put Obama’s awkwardly undeveloped foot into a gigantic shoe. I was sitting there unable to see Barack dealing with the responsibilities the President outlined. This tact was f’n brilliant. Third, his performanc and the downer of Biden forced Obama to make an appearance on stage so that Clinton’s wouldn’t steal the show another night.
Biden - huhhhhh, what an uninspiring downer he is. I’ve never heard him speak and he was a week old balloon.

All 3 cable networks are lame, the only objective place to watch politics is C-SPAN. Cable news are all full of biased blowhards.

I wonder if McCain will select Meg Whitman formerly of Ebay as his running mate? She went to HArvard Business School. What do folks think of her?

 

Comment by karen for Clinton | 2008-08-28 07:04:32

Must have been a two headed shovel since Joe shoved it right down keith’s throat and chris’s ass at the same time. Why are these two buffoons still allowed to speak for NBC? ob sure has the arrogant supporters all sewed up.

And a big thank you to Joe for not letting the bullies get the last word this year. His support for Hillary was often a lone voice at that garbage dump news outlet. He cut through much of the rhetoric and just like Hillary, he did it with class.

As for ob and Bill. Bill made ob look like the gnat he is and he did it just by standing there telling the crowd humbly to stop. He came out on stage cool and collected and the audience hit him with more love and support than anyone was expecting.

There are headlines today saying “Bill Redeemed Himself” and that is just a twist of the truth. Bill didn’t need to be redeemed, he’d never really lost support, that was all just a tactical ploy used against him. Before he even spoke the audience said it all and they said it loud and clear.

Screw every single obot who knocked Bill this year, on purpose as a political tool. May they all have instant karma visit them. And that goes double for O.

 

Comment by Carolyn Kay | 2008-08-28 07:37:12

I’m thinking that what the Clintons have done in their two nights at the convention is to CHALLENGE Obama to be a Democrat.

Comment by Iris | 2008-08-28 07:37:57

This Hillary supporter can’t deny these two fine Americans my support in the way they ask. I have sufficient trust in their character and judgment that they would not so whole-heartedly endorse Obama if they did not believe he would deliver on the issues that are important to us.

Maybe Obama could still screw it up, but I’m thinking that I will vote for him as of right now. Hillary’s reminder of who and what her campaign was about, and Bill’s analogy to his own ‘inexperience’ at an even younger age, really got to me.

Comment by bemused | 2008-08-28 07:51:16

I recommend more time studying political double-speak and body language. Many observers saw an opposite message. Even if you don’t agree, it’s worth exploring the possibilities, because if anything is true, it’s that politicians are not fully forthcoming, any of them.

 

Comment by morganjane | 2008-08-28 09:07:23

Bill was much more experienced than Obama… He was Govenor for 12 years and Attorney General of Arkansaw. Obama was a State Senator for 8 years.

You need to remember that Obama didn’t win, Hillary told the media Mich and Fl would count and if the media counted them … she would have had the nomination all along… OBAMA stole this nomination. What can the Clinton’s do now? They have to do what they did. The media and Obama has fooled eveyone… just like the Iraq War! The Republicans will ruin Obama… I can’t wait. If you really love Hillary, wait and see what will happen after the convention.
Hillary and Bill went to great lengths not to attack John McCain. They never called Obama a friend. But they both called john McCain a friend. They both would not attack McCain the way Obama is already… Falsely. Saying McCain would be a 3rd bush term is just wrong and questions my intellegence! I am not 18 years old. Even Bill Mahr was for McCain in 2000…tell Obama’s infant supports that… they would be amazed.

I will not let Obama do to McCain what they did to Hillary. HIllary is my first choice but I will not let Obama tell me McCain is something he is not. I don’t agree with everything McCain says but I trust him!!

 

Comment by Jillie | 2008-08-28 09:09:03

bill was a governor for 8 years. bo has zero experience. there is no comparison.

 

Comment by Deelee | 2008-08-28 10:24:54

Are you kidding? Are you some sort of Obot trying to win over support?

Listen to him, he DOES NOT have any issues to deliver on. He doesn’t have issues, period. He’s all empty rhetoric ans b.s.

Even if you are only half intelligent, surely you must be able to see right through him, or maybe you just don’t care what happens to this country.

i love the clintons

to hell with the new nominee…nothing there to love

 

Comment by morganjane | 2008-08-28 08:56:18

Larry, that is the video that made me for Hillary Clinton! I was so outraged that he would diss Bill Clinton… and then I woke up from the Move On trance I was in… Democrats that weren’t praising Bill Clinton.. something was up, something was wrong. Then they started saying Hillary and Bill were racist. The media went along with the farce.

Bill almost convinced me last night, and if Obama didn’t run on ruining Bill and Hillary. And steal the nomination (FL. and Mich. counting all along means Hillary really won)… Bill could have convinced me.

 

Comment by Sassy | 2008-08-28 08:57:23

Larry, you are “right on”…BO ain’t got the stuff!
His squads have done everything possible to take out the Clintons, and failed miserably!
With the backing of Dean and the “noodle” Pelosi, the party is as weak on every issue as possible.
BO and JOE are headed for a defeat!

And the Clinton’s do NOT need props such as
a mock up of a Greek Temple to enhance who
they are and what their message is.
Shame on the Democratic party for forcing this
schmuck onto America.
—————————————————– Anyone notice everything he plans extravagant is always showing a country other than the USA? Does it bother anyone else? First the world tour (skipping a visit to wounded troops in Germany), the Big German display (even faked how many attended by camera angle) and bribed them to show up, Now a Greek Temple?

 

Comment by Deelee | 2008-08-28 09:42:48

In all of the speeches (Tues and Wed), just about every one of them praised John McCain as being an honorable person. I don’t think i heard one of them say that about Obama. That to me says a lot.

P.S. anybody got any good jokes out there?

here’s one that might make you laugh to help get over the piece of crap they nominated.

“A Brain, and Experience Is Everything”

The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican candidate nor the Democratic candidate had enough votes to win. There was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc.

Eventually, it was decided that because the only thing neither candidate had ever tried,there should be an ice fishing contest to determine the winner. Whoever caught the most fish at the end of the week would win the election.

After much of back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Minnesota .

There were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent out separately on this isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with their catch for counting and verification by a team of neutral parties.
At the end of the first day, McCain. returned to the starting line and he had ten fish.
Soon, Obama returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was just having another ‘bad hair’ day or something and hopefully, he would catch up the next day.

At the end of the 2nd day McCain. came in with another 10 fish and Obama came in again with none.

That evening, Reid, Dean and Polosi got together secretly with Obama and said, ‘Obama, I think McCain. is a low-life, cheatin’ son-of-a-gun. I want you to go out tomorrow and don’t even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see just how he is cheating.’
The next day (after McCain. returns with 10 more fish).
Reid said to Obama, “Well, tell me, how is McCain. cheating?”
Obama replied, ‘Harry, you’re not going to believe this, but he’s cutting holes in the ice!

 

Comment by Murray | 2008-08-28 10:34:28

I thought it was particularly interesting when Bill said, “…and this is VERY IMPORTANT…” then stressed the HIV/AIDS problem. (Pause for much applause; pan to Michelle’s just-slapped face).

Poor Michelle. After 20 years of believing that the government (Clinton included) created AIDS just to keep the black man down, that statement alone went against everything the Obama/Black Theology campaign has been preaching for DECADES. Big Dawg stood right up there & defended himself.

For those who have ears, I believe he said, “Obama is a LIAR!”

 

Comment by Michael57 | 2008-08-28 11:48:34

Murray, you think the Obamas believe the AIDS conspiracy angle??

Comment by MEchelle Hates America! | 2008-08-28 14:12:49

Her big ass was parked at that tax exempt monstrosity of a Church

for decades all the while they were both

posing for TUCC’s magazine covers (with Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan) and sermonizing there while the hate spewed forth.

That crap is the Oblowmes’ cover for not being Muslim remember?

Like it’s somehow better!
