Florida Caller to C-Span Nails the Crux of Obama’s Offensive Remarks about Small-Town Pennsylvanians

“SNOB”..Perfect..Another Interesting Relevant Article Susan…

“S.N.O.B.”=

Barack Obama does not have a clue about middle America and the working class. I was born in a small town, and proud of it. This small town girl backs Hillary Clinton because she “gets it”.

That woman caller nails it! She’s taking no shit and taking no prisoners. The flim-flam man and his surrogates in the media ain’t spinning this woman. Damn it’s nice to know that there are people like her out there that aren’t fooled and won’t allow the media or Obama to spin her.

thank you for catching that clip

the woman on the phone sounds super smart — she needs to run for office

“..not being able to unring this bell”. Love it!

I think the sad thing, and it was sad to hear, was the Obama callers that followed her. They called her out of touch with reality. Now, how cult-like can you be when a caller like this woman nails whats wrong with the comment he made (even if you want to forgive him for it) and then have his supporter calls be filled with insults towards her.

SusanUnPC: the caller is absolutely correct; the clip you posted yesterday with your sharp comments of what he was saying (that voters have extra layer of skeptisism with him b/c he is black and has a nontraditional name) point exactly to the same point
the caller is making.
And Obama’s pseudo-apology/explannation of what he said proves he didn’t and doesn’t get it.

Let me get this straight . . .

Ed Rendell says that some people in middle American won’t vote for a Black man, and you Hill supporters agree that that is a reason not to nominate Obama. Fine.

But this caller says that Obama was basically calling middle America “bigots”, which is, frankly, the same thing that Rendell implied. But since Obama supposedly said the same thing that Rendell implied, that, too, means Obama should not be the nominee? This makes SENSE to you people?

The caller said it best. But it’s important for people and the MSM to realize something that is going on here. Obama is trying to move this narrative to “I said something that is true”, and “if I offended people, I regret and apologize” — and I’m sure that next week, the narrative will move to “let’s move on. He has apologized already”. And by focussing on the first part of the phrase “bitter” — he might well succeed.

But as the caller rightly points out — this is not about the first phrase, (and to me) not even the second, but THE CONNECTION that the candidate is drawing between them which reflects deeply on his thinking about such issues and such voters. And how wrong he is about them.

And if I can say one more thing …

I listened to his entire speech at SFO, but the first two paragraphs that preceded his comments about bitter-people turning to guns, religion and antipathy toward others that are not like them are even more bizarre. He starts by saying that the MSM and others think his lack of success is becaues of race and then in the second paragraph proceeds to (with the audience laughing with him) say just that! Those first three paragraphs just show how cynical this candidate’s view of our system is, and how he’s intent on manipulation (considering the audience before whom he spoke those carefully considered words). I hear him wondering about how he is to appeal to people whom he quite so obviously does not understand — which is admirable perhaps — but quite obviously falling very short of where he needs to be if he needs to win the GE and govern when elected.

People all over the blogosphere and the MSM that are responding to this firestorm w/ comments about the Clinton campaign or her qualitifications are getting it SO wrong. This is about one candidate’s judgement, character and qualifications for the job.

Indeed sad but not unexpected from Obama’s mob/thug-like verbal attitute this whole campaign.

I think that’s why it is important this video clip gets as much exposure on the web as possible.

(This is an ordinary caller. Not a campaign person)

If you or anyone else have an outlet to expose this clip please do so.

I heard that Pelosi and her lieutenant, Rep Miller were at that event.

The arrogant jerk will never apologize and he has not. It makes me sick really that Dems are so acared of AA voters that they have to keep their mouth shut.

He is calling them bigots as the woman said. He is calling them white bigots for not voting from him. His campaign did it several times already. They called Ohians “Archie Bunkers”.

AWESOME!!! This woman caller should get the gold star today! Yah!!!! Take THAT Bamaa-O !!!

Typical Narcissist, really. He still doesn’t understand what the big deal is.

Mark my words: When Barack Obama loses Pennsylvania, the foremost theme among ALL the pundits will be that he lost because he’s black, and that too many Pennsylvanians are bigots.

aye… wonder if his cell phone is buzzing now!!!

“He said in front of the Money, and He Believed what he Said when he Said it.”

You are so right ma’am!.

B-rob… I have read some of your other posts… I’m curious if you are “liturally disabled”… You don’t seem to be able to understand the written word… See Spot run. See Dick and Jane climb the hill. …hmmmmm how would you translate that???

It takes a seasoned racist and bigot to project racism and bigotry on simply everyone else.

Just ask
Italians
Jews
Boatloads of offended women
“Typical White People”

and now, you can ask “Small Town America” as well.

Barry Obama is walking, festering hatrid.

And another thing . . . Obama is now an elitist. The guy who was the child of a single parent and went to school on scholarship is “an elitist,” so says Hillary the $109 million dollar woman and child of the rich Chicago suburbs . . . .

This is VERY interesting. I thought one of the reasons Obama should NOT be the nominee was due to the fact that he was running up his margins in “flyover” country, not the “important” states like Massachusetts and New York? I thought that his 50 state strategy (you know . . . the one that has him waxing Hillary in Wyoming, Utah, Georgia and Alabama) was a sign of weakness because Dems are “not supposed” to try to win those rural Republican states? So even though has pasted Hillary with rural state voters, he is an elitist? OK . . . .

The inability to figure out a message and stick with it is one of the surest signs that Hillary’s campaign simply is not ready for prime time. She can’t manage money, she takes a friggin’ Bible to a gun range, and claims everyone in Pennsylvania is just hunky doory with their 30 years of job losses. And this is the person you want to unleash on McCain, Hill-backers? Er, no . . . which is why the voters have given Obama the intractable lead. His is simply the better candidate, more substantive than the bullet-dodging Queen of Tuzla.

His statement afterwards solidifies his belief system. He doesn’t deny it but furthers it by saying that those offended are so because it is true. Wow, true? How does he know? Is this part of his vast experience he’s trying to sell? Like his Foreign policy experience b/c he lived in Indonesia!? He’s exaggerating that as well. Isn’t it true that he left at age 4? A prodigy I guess. He likes to exaggerate all of his life story and it is disgusting. This comment sticks b/c he truly believes it. Fair enough, let him stand by it but it is therefore a disqualifier to be the President of ALL the people. How can you govern when you don’t understand (or want to) or respect part of your populace?

“the foremost theme among ALL the pundits will be that he lost because he’s black”

Isn’t that what Ed Rendell said? Funny . . . Obama never has said that . . . especially as he was winning overwhelmingly White states like Wyoming, Utah, etc.

…make that “hatred”. The smoldering kind.

Susan, that got me thinking? Is this a set up for the loss? Did someone mention this strategy before?

Hahahahahaha. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

What happens when he speaks to foreign leaders and sticks his f’in arrogant foot in his mouth? Does he call back and say ‘oh what I really meant..’ or ‘if I offended you…’ etc… What this idiot doesn;t seem to grasp is that FIRST impressions are what people hear/see… You don;t get a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, chance to re-spin it; not in the REAL world outside of his cult! He is so arrogant he fails to understand that you are responsible for your WORDS and ACTIONS. Someone might send him a pair of hip-waders… the shit is getting pretty deep on his pulpit!

It’d be great if we could prove that.

Wait, the guy from CNN tried to tell her she didn’t understand Obama … he READ to her on the air to see if maybe she just didn’t understand that she was WRONG. So at least the callers were admittedly Obama supporters. CNN is supposed to honor the caller’s right to her opinion if nothing else!

Then he deserves it, for using racism as every turn in order to avoid questioning. Furthermore, as a woman who has been marginalized by a sexist pig campaign, I not only don’t feel sorry for him, but I am glad. If he wants to pretend that he is just not a likeable, capable or empathetic person beneath his superior empty-suited facade–and would like to play his frequent race card once again, then suffer, you bastard. Because you not only don’t get it, you don’t care that you don’t get it. And….

You can win without us.

What about the AA voters who DO NOT want him???

Pelosi was at the event? do you have a link to that?

Yup . . . which is why he won in Wyoming, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Utah . . . those racial appeals to the overwhelming teeming hoards of Black voters.

You know the real problem both Hillary and McCain have with Obama? He, unlike them, is not about “fight fight fight” as a personality trait. He is taking some issue head on that Hillary’s micro-trend managing campaign simply doesn’t want to address.

Mark my words — at some point, Obama is going to give a speech that explains the underlying linkage of the anger in the rural areas with the bitterness and dispair in the inner cities . . . and how BOTH groups then turn around and blame each other (“the White man” and “affirmative action”), Hispanic immigrants, Jews, etc. He is talking issues head on (racism, class divisions, etc.)

Like making sausage, it ain’t pretty and it ain’t without blood. But the end product — moving ahead on seemingly intractable issues — will be worth the effort. Obama may not win the presidency (frankly, McCain, the most liberal GOPer in Washington may have it in the bag), but we will be better off in the long run because he, unlike the micro-trend managing Hillary campaign, spoke up.

Yes. I mentioned that in my posts yesterday — to both those rich donors in San Francisco — he was setting up the BIG EXCUSE for why he cannot possibly win Pennsylvania.

But it also occurred to me that he is also feeding the pundits a “meme” they can use to slam the Pennsylvanians who don’t vote for him.

I can almost hear the excuses sure to come from Olbermann and his guest pundits (to whom he feeds the proper answer in all of his questions).

B-lob:

Let us explain how voting works. The caller votes (anti caucus) in November. She is not voting for Senator Obama. She’s not the one who needs to do any ‘splaining here to you or to Senator Obama. The convincin’ was up to him and he just blew it.

All of the Benneton just ran out of his campaign.

If this is the sort of talking Obama does behind closed doors about Pennsylvania, can anyone just wonder aloud what Obama says about the people of FLorida and Michigan?

The apple has now shown it doesn’t fall far from the tree, the teachings Obama has grasped for 20 years from Rev Wright are now showing, Michelle showed them far earlier, but for BO, it is better late than later in the summer!

And Susan, sorry that one of the Mayors exposed the CNN plot for the fall in the Republican strategy…lol

I believe he lived in Indonesia from ages 6 to 10. It’s so unfair of you to accuse him of being there when he was four years old! He was far more mature than that!

B-rob… I think you have overdosed on the Kool aid… You best get your facts straight… ( btw. your inmaturity is showing)

Yeah, well. That mayor sure spoke the truth. And to the non-KoolAid drinkers, it’s so obvious. See Larry’s post below on the important Politico story — the Clintons know it too — that Obama will face near disaster in a general election.

(I know you were kidding.)

These comments don’t just hurt Senator Obama’s campaign. They hurt the Democratic party and our country. That is what so few are focusing upon.

Since when has the Democratic party been the party of elite snobs? It isn’t a tradition I am familiar with. It isn’t why I have voted and worked for the party loyally for these long years. And it does not represent the foundations of our democracy that many people gave their lives for when this country began. Nor does it represent the Dream of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. The Republican party is the party of the elites. They are the ones that demean the rest of us and hold our values in contempt.

Obama is exactly what the enemies of our nation are looking for. Because he represents a weak America, an America divided by race, religion and class. We need a United States of America, not a Divided Nation of Obama.

I thought that I read an article that said that he only lived there until age 4, I would like to be correct on that. Can you point me to the correct info?

The Elephant in the Room–and it’s not a Republican one–is something no one seems able to even mention.

What does every single fiasco of Obama’s campaign revolve around? The obvious in-your-face fact that Barack Obama dislikes white people. And “dislikes” is the milder word for Obama’s emotion so evident in all these events.

Jeremiah Wright’s rants against KKKAmerica and HIV being diablically designed by whites to eliminate blacks that Obama sat through for 17 years. The “typical white person” comment by Obama about his grandmother whose sin is clearly not that she raised him and financed his private school education but that she is white. And those embittered small town Americans, clinging to guns and God? Does anyone think he was referring to black Americans?

This should be discussed, and it isn’t even being whispered. It may or may not be a reason that should disqualify him for the US presidential office. If white Americans are not troubled by a man whose so actively dislikes them then so be it. But we should at least be talking about it.

He wanted to break into the elitist ring so bad that he borrowed money from the mafia to buy his Georgian house that he can’t afford himself.

Obama really stepped in Sith this time. His Jedi mind tricks aren’t working as well as they have in the past.
The Rev Wright scandal pulled back the curtains on Obama. Because of that episode, he can no longer sweet talk his way out of other scandals which reinforce it.
Obama is no longer a blank canvass that people can cast there own “hopes” and dreams to.
His arrogance is there for all to see. Elitism, snobbery, associations with America haters, far leftists and racists.

there was a video shot of Miller but I did not see Pelosi altho my friend in SF said she was there. Gordon Getty is a repub but he bank-rolled Dems alot including Pelosi, Newsome etc…I am trying to find the video or camera shots.

Pelosi helped organize that event for sure.

Nobody here gives a rat’s ass what you think. We understand your purpose here and nobody cares.

What this idiot doesn;t seem to grasp is that FIRST impressions are what people hear/see… You don;t get a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, chance to re-spin it; not in the REAL world outside of his cult!

Obviously that’s the lesson in Marketing 101 his campaign leaders seem to have forgotten to drive home with him.

R-Bob:

Yes, Obama said that; listen to him:

http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1496501479

and Obama said that also when he lost Ohio: that voters di’t vote for him because the Ohio voters were like Archie Bunker

Well there WAS that trip to Pakistan during his college days that he mentioned and hasn’t talked about in detail yet. I mean if you were in college and zipped over to Indonesia to see your poor roots (as in “poor’ mother who worked at the US Embassy), would you pick Paskistan as a place to spend three weeks? Barry loves Pakistan, that’s for sure.

You see the swarming of Obama callers attacking anyone that dares to disagree with them just as you see the trolls coming here because no matter what Obama says or does it is all Hillary’s fault.

Just as the Republican trolls that used to infest liberal blogs always answered every criticism of their little Bush we now have the Obama trolls crying “but, but Clinton”.

Obama, if he is half as good as they think he is should be able to stand on his own. His words should be able to stand on their own. But no, him and his whiny surrogates and supporters have to W.hat O.bama R.eally M.eant his gaffes and then blame Clinton or suggest that she said something as bad or worse.

But, but Clinton worked for the Bushies for a time. But even amongst the “elitists” that want to force Obama down our throats there must come a time when some honesty forces them to admit that their idol just might have feet of clay.

And even us poor, bitter, clingy, low-information types know that “elitist” is an attitude, not the contents of your bank account. That wasn’t even a nice try. It was just dumb. Us poor, bitter, clingy, low-information types know that too.

I am fed up with “lessons from Obama.” There is not one aspect of his life or his lessons that apply to me either directly or indirectly.

I have seen enough. He’s never happy. He has had more benefits in life than anyone I know. He finds a way to still bitch and moan. Black daddy? JFK helped him. White mommy? Private Hawaii school. Biggot Granny? “Deluxe apartment in the sky.” Better educated than most Americans will ever see (where are those Harvard grades he doesn’t want anyone to see, by the way? Don’t you think they’re in a vault at the RNC?) “Picked” Chicago organizing over a lucrative private practice. Mansion courtesy of Rezko.

Let me tell you this. People like that woman in Florida are TIRED of hearing what’s wrong with her from a guy who has so many bellyaching stories and has gained so much from a nation and learned so damn little from her people.

You know, I am a Californian, an urban one at that, and yes, I eat sushi and drink, well, espressos, cause I don’t like all the milk in a latte. I do have some prejudices against “small town America,” in part because I’ve heard so many stereotypes about me and mine (“flaky Californians” and such).

But these remarks of Obama’s are just incredibly, irredeemably stupid. They speak to a lack of judgment, a lack of understanding and a lack of empathy. And what he really is saying here is, “Anyone who doesn’t vote for me is a bitter racist.”

Once again, it’s all about him. We’re all supposed to feel very guilty about America’s racial wounds, and somehow voting for Obama is our only opportunity to heal them.

“It makes me sick really that Dems are so acared of AA voters that they have to keep their mouth shut.”

Hillary has worked very hard to make sure that the Black voters understand that, as far as she, Ed Rendell, and Gerry Ferraro are concerned, Black people need to shut up, eat their chicken dinners and vote for her like they “should” given “everything” she has done for them. Good to see your post, since it reinforces that same message: the Dems should not be “scared” of pissing off their base because Black people will ALWAYS vote Dem. Nice to see you be so open about taking Black voters for granted.

As an Obama Republican who registered R. in 2000 because I like John McCain, I am happy to see that Hillary, if nominated, may undo 40 years of Blacks voting a nonsensical straight “D” ticket, even if a racist like Tom Metzger is running as a Dem. (Look it up if you don’t know what I am talking about.) She and her campaign have made their lack of respect for Black voters VERY CLEAR. And if only I can convince my Black professional friends to vote McCain if Hill is the nominee and send a REAL MESSAGE to the Dems, as opposed to the less clear message if they just don’t vote.

You Hillbackers simply do not understand the growing hatred there is for HC in the Black community. (Ask Stephanie Tubbs Jones about it!) Mark my words — if Hillary is the nominee and McCain choses Colin Powell as his VP, the most inportant question in November will be whether it is appropriate to make the entire White House into a Budweiser distributorship.

B-Rob, Obama had 2 parents, one abandoned him, big deal his mother had another husband real fast afterwards and another after that, so cut the crap of single parent, and get your facts straight!

As for Clinton making money, proves something doesn’t it, Clinton’s know how to make money, isn’t that what is needed in the Whitehouse….duhhhh

As for the rest of your ignorant statements, they speak for themselves and aren’t worth discussing because the stacked caucuses say Obama is the one, er..no..because kids in school who are clueless and now places like Purdue are being exposed and going to lose $140 million into taxes due to student inappropriate actions in violation of laws for Obama, costing new students $3500 more in tuition, makes your case rediculous and frankly stupid!

The Newsome Obama will not be photographed with?

Have you seen this one about the kool aide wing of Obama supporters Susan?

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/4/9/13322/18827/524/492739

the Clintons know it too — that Obama will face near disaster in a general election

…and now so do Dean and the superdelegates. Somebody over at the DNC is reading them a McGovern history lesson right now.

Oh. So racism is just a dish from “typical white people” served cold, is that it?

You make me ill. You are the reason that the woman in Florida won’t vote for your guy. She is tired of spin and being told that deep in that heart of hers she is a racist.

Maybe he (and you) can get a job at Trinity.

Uppity,

You are soooo very right on! Mr. Unity keeps adding to the list of the divided Americans.

God, I do not reacll such a bitter primary season in 40 years. Does ANYONE HERE recall such a constant stream of vitriol?

Did you hear Donna Brazile this morning? She said Obama is a constitutional law professor and sometime makes the mistake of trying to teach us (something like that). It’s always our fault isn’t, when it isn’t Clinton’s fault.

She went on to talk about Obama’s community organizing. Remember that was where Obama helped Resco get millions to renovate slums in Obama’s district and then Resco pocketed the cash and let Obama’s people freeze. Think he’ll put Resco in charge of HUD?
Or the lady who used the months leading up to her Superior National Bank failure to snorkel up cash from unsuspecting depositors by offering a higher than average interest rate. And by the way, when all is said and done, getting a “get out of jail free card” to boot. I hear she is in line for Sec. of Treasury.

You concluded that from his comments, huh? Like I said below: his 50 state strategy (going to Wyoming, Utah, etc.) pretty much makes it clear that he does NOT believe a Black man can’t win over White voters, regardless of where they live. Pennsylvania demographically is Hill-country — older than average, less educated than average, and less diverse racially than average.

Most likely Obama will lose the state, just as he lost neighboring Ohio. That would not surprise anyone. But you won’t hear Obama whining about losing a state because of his race. Why? Because tomorrow is another day, he will still be Black, he will still need to win White votes and he is still in the lead.

So, it isn’t Hillary saying he’s unelectable, it’s Barack admitting that small town white voters won’t vote for him? And that helps who in November?

Flea, our party is suffering from the same illness the Republicans suffered from during the past 8 years–the attempt to take over by a nasty, loud, pushy and overbearing cliff-hanging fringe that doesn’t represent the majority of the party in the end.

You best get your facts straight

Please explain what facts I have wrong.

Speeches, speeches and more speeches!!!

I don’t need lectures from Obama.

He’s not teaching school, asshole!

He’s a candidate for office and it’s his job to connect to the voters and he’s not doing that. As time goes on he’s turning off more and more voters and he and his supporters are trying to play it off as if this something that Hillary is doing to him. It’s her fault that he’s under this kind of scrutiny because she won’t get out of the race.

It’s time for the DNC, Obama and his supporters to realize that this stuff was going to crop up eventually. As a Hillary support, better now then later.

Well then, is the MSM media prepared to start this division and blame white America for his losses? Do they know what negative storm this will bring, for lack of a better term. This is amazing. Are they going to call Blacks that do not vote or support him racists or self hating? How is this going to end? Uniter my ass.

No, he whined about it to rich white people in Marin County while he had his hat out looking for their money to bombard those poor ignorant Pennsylvanians with his mind numbing and deceitful advertisement just so that Hillary didn’t put his losses up in the 20+ range. Well. Let’s see how well he does now.

Hillary has worked very hard to make sure that the Black voters understand that … Black people need to shut up, eat their chicken dinners and vote for her like they “should” given “everything” she has done for them.

And why the hell shouldn’t she? What has Obama EVER done for the black community other than sit in a church he plainly feels no emotional connection to for two decades and cozy up to a slumlord?! What has that man EVER done for his community? What the hell has the black community to thank him for anyway?

It’s not a matter of gratitude and ass-kissing some white woman, damn it. It’s matter of recognizing who’s there for you when the chips are down and who isn’t. Barack Obama has done NOTHING for the African-American community, nothing at all. He does for HIMSELF, and so does his wife.

I am shocked at how cheaply the black community will give its vote away for some con artist who hasn’t done SQUAT for them. That’s what this is about, not “kiss my ass because I’m not a racist white person am I?” This is about wanting RESULTS — and only one candidate has proven results for the black community in this country and around the world, and that’s Hillary (and her husband). Period.

Barack Obama is a self-important shill for Barack Obama, and you can count on less than one finger the things he’s done for the black community.

Please read and rec mydd diary

He doesn’t dislike white people. He hates them.

boo hoo … crying all the way to the private school, Columbia and Harvard law ….

B-Rob, you been French Kissing Obama’s butt again, because all your talking sure stinks like you know what!

Obama didn’t win Colorado, or any place where the caucuses occurred when normal people have to work.

Cheap shot, really.

Totally undemocratic.

Not representational.

As to Wyoming, only the cattle, coyotes and bison got to the caucuses. Everyone else had to work.

Along with the lessons on Business Finance 101. They are doing this like a dot-com thing, where companies were considered brilliant successes not if they could make and sell products, but if they could find financing. Companies bragged not about how much they had sold, but about how much VC money they snagged.

And look how that ended …

Oh, please. Obama’s mother was a professional woman. She also remarried and his stepfather provided for him very well. Whatever his emotional issues, he never had a financial worry. His “typical white” grandparents were also very well-off.

Clinton may not have been poor, but she wasn’t better off financially. Moreover, she had frequent contact with family who weren’t as well off. Obama has poor relatives in Africa, to be sure, who he sought out as an adult – and whom he seems to be happy to leave in poverty.

But go ahead, keep wrapping yourself up in pretty stories about your hero. Because obviously your admiration for him won’t survive if you see him as he really is.

And for those red states Obama won? Let’s see if they still vote for him if he winds up the Dem nominee. I’m from Michigan, and he already told me he doesn’t want my vote.

or better latte than never

better to play by the rules than ask for arugula

goat cheese my ass

God, this is fun!

LOL Susan.

Remember – he had to have been the only child in Jakarta being taught the non-existent language of Indonesian At least thats what he called the language in his book. Everyone else spoke the “Officially Recognized” language of the country which is MALAY – not the non-existent Indonesian.

He wanted to break into the elitist ring so bad that he borrowed money from the mafia to buy his Georgian house that he can’t afford himself.

So far, Hill-bots have accused Obama of being a drug dealing anti-White Muslim with ties to anti-American, anti-semetic, anti-gay Christian preachers; an elitist who relies on small rural all White Red States or Black people for his victory margin; who is single handedly refusing to let the Florida and Michigan Dem. Parties cast delegates Hillary’s way; all while taking money from Islamist terrorists overseas via campaign contributions funneled through college students who beat up elderly Hillary supporters at undemocratic caucuses.

And now you claim he took money from the mafia, too? Wow! Busy man! Next you folks will claim he is on the Illnois Meghan’s List because he accepted a back seat Lewinsky from Larry Sinclair!

Do you folks ever feel a bit silly about all these conspiracy theories? Do you understand how ridiculous you appear to normal people?

Yes, Gavin Newsome the mayor. Getty helped Newsome start new biz, 11 of them and counting. Newsome don’t like Bambi tho.

Arugula is one step up from dandelions. They have been used in recipes by Italian peasants for centuries. You can practically grow them wild. The only thing these morons did was increase the cost of a pile of cheap greens. I suppose it makes them feel “earthy” and “in touch” with the dirty masses.

And this isn’t a left-wing takeover, it’s a RIHGT-WING takeover. Real progressives aren’t so dismissive of the working-class and unions. REAL progressives don’t shove old people aside and go GET OUT THE WAY IT’S OUR TURN! They care for the elderly. REAL progressives don’t use sexism like a bludgeon — REAL progressives are goddamned FEMINISTS.

This is not a takeover by the lunatic left-wing fringe, this is a stealth takeover by the right-wing fringe — by the money. It’s always the goddamned money. This is a takeover by the billionaires, just like it was by the billionaires on the other side.

But they painted their money takeover with a populist coat of paint, and so now that’s what they’re trying to do here. They figured if they spun their takeover as a new “progressive” one, and found a black (male!) face to put to it, the idiots would buy it. Like finding some spoiled rich asshole with a Texas accent worked for the Republicans.

In both cases, that’s what’s happened:

Filthy rich backers want to take over Political Party X.

They can’t do that without appealing to their idiot base that doesn’t have much money.

They find a fool who can appeal to the base’s supposed core values. (An aw-shucks Texas accent in the case of the Repubs, and a black face in the case of the Dems.)

In both cases, these things are false faces. In both cases, these men are spoiled elitist assholes in thrall to their billionaire leash-holders.

They are BOTH Manchurian candidates — sent from the aristocracy to infiltrate the minds of the hoi polloi.

These are both money takeovers, with their puppets given coats of pain to make them look appealing to the lesser folk (workaday wannabe-rich conservatives in one case, workaday wannabe-rich liberals in the other).

It’s revolting.

And what he really is saying here is, “Anyone who doesn’t vote for me is a bitter racist.”

Ok, I’ll bite. How do you reconcile this supposed feeling that “Anyone who doesn’t vote for me is a bitter racist” with the fact that he has DOMINATED Hillary, indeed owes his entire margin, to overwhelming wins in the lily White, rural states that he supposedly disdains? Do you see the irony in this “Obama is an elitist” argument? Because last week you folks were saying that he should not be the nominee because he “only” won rural Red States and could not beat Hill in elite states like Mass., NY, NJ, and Cal.! Make up your minds! Either those rural Red States are “the bedrock of America” — like he said all along while you folks said they “didn’t matter” — or they are not! So which is it?

No, I didn’t conclude anything. I listen. You obviously have a problem eitehr listeing or with critical thinking. I presume it is both.

Hmmmmm……..Common Sense from an average voter….What a concept. This is indicative of why 2/3 of the traditional democratic base will not support OBAMESSIAH…Will not support a DNC Putzian leadership who is trying to rig this primary and is hell bent on POLITICAL SUICIDE….Common Sense, something that aint neccessarily given along with fancy diploma’s.

Does he know the name of the language the people were speaking?

White women. His father was drunk and abusive and abandoned him, but it’s his mother and grandmother,m who loved and raised him, that he resents. An old, common story. As a woman, I for one am sick of that shit.

You speak in gross, exagerated generalities… You’ve been listening to too much ‘spin technique’

Hard to do that and reconcile it to OBAMcCARTHY tactics that seem to prevail in the current climate.

Obamabots, stop “french Kissing” his butt for a second and listen while breathing away for a moment!

Judgement is valued in the company you keep! Obama’s words Unscripted are his own words, and if the Democratic Party endorses Obama after those words then the Republicans will control the White House and the Senate after November!

Being a WORM does not change what he said, he said what he believes and his judgement is based on what he believes, black white chinese, latino doesn’t matter, what does is what the lips who said them, and those were Obama’s lips spewing Rev Wrights words to that group of elitists!

Very well said and eloquent!

In the spirit of internet confessions…..I am Obama’s cell phone….Feel me….LOL

Yeah. Ok. Sure. So why is HE campaigning in states like Wyoming, Utah, Minnesota, etc., where there are few minorities? If he actually hates White people, why all the White people at the top of his campaign? Why all the White support at the polls and among his collegues?

Uppity, when the Clinton backers repeat the same b.s. that nutty conservatives on Hugh Hewitt float, you need to ask yourself what you are doing. Hillary, because of her piss poor campaign and mismanagement of money, simply has no chance of being the nominee. She just hasn’t earned it.

You folks need to start adjusting to that reality and decide whether you are going to get behind the candidate, or let your anger get the best of you and wreck the party. It is as simple as that.

As i told cons about McCain — he is not perfect, but he is the best you have, so support him. Same thing with Obama. He is not perfect, but he is the best the Dems have . . . and he has proved that to the voters.

I am sorry. The media always made California and New York the “two coasts” and the rest of us were the ‘void.’ We had to say something just to keep from being bitter … no, but seriously, no reason that Americans should be divided against each other.

Janis — Great psychoanalysis! So when was Obama your patient?

Looks like Donna will maintain her “perfect” record when it comes to backing successful Democratic candidates.

B-Rob has missed his early dose of GOVT. ISSUE CRACK….The pipe is under the couch…..Light it…..Now inhale…..

You are exactly the reason people do not want Obama as their president. Thank about that…

His mother was living in Pakistan, moron! Try to do a little research before spouting off. Again — you are starting to sound like the nutty cons on Hugh Hewitt’s site!

Geezzzz I sure HOPE so!!! This has the potential to make McGovern’s loss to Nixon look like it was only very close!

Obamabots, stop “french Kissing” his butt for a second and listen while breathing away for a moment!

Oh Mel Please!!! I just ate lunch!!! icckkkkk!

Pelosi et, al are classic BROWN NOSERS and that is in the working class vernacular…..Which has nothing to do with alluding to race.

You didn’t answer the question, of course. Not that I expected you to. Because I think even you can grasp the lunacy of Obama being disqualified for supposedly saying the same thing that Rendell “truthfully” said a few weeks ago. Hence changing the subject.

The above comment was for RBob

“Hillary has worked very hard to make sure that the Black voters understand that, as far as she, Ed Rendell, and Gerry Ferraro are concerned, Black people need to shut up, eat their chicken dinners and vote for her like they “should” given “everything” she has done for them.”

A big fat fuck you from an AA Hillary supporter!

It’s the other way around and you know this! It’s this half-white, conflicted and confused man who has deep hatred of his white relatives and the sense of loss of culture of his African ancestry with no connection to the AA community having been raised in Hawaii filled with people his own color and given an elite education.

Obama and his camp have played the race card covertly and have created an hysteria the likes of which I have never seen in my entire life. Black people calling other black people derogatory names just to get this biracial man whose commitment to the black community remains a mystery. As if anything about him or anybody else being POTUS is somehow going to transform the problems beseiging the permanent black underclass in mostly urban black America.

Instead of trying to get your black professional friends to vote for McCain, maybe you should try convincing them to lend a helping hand to the very communities that so many of them abandoned as they climbed up the socio-economic ladder with the help of people like the Clintons, just to name 2, and whom they now want to level ugly slurs and racist charges because their egos are wrapped up in the idea that an Obama presidency will give them the ultimate self-esteem. Theirs is a costly vanity not a commitment to the empowerment of black Americans. If it was, they’d be following the W.E.B. Dubois’ doctrine of the ‘Talented Tenth.’

Unlike those folks, I remained in the black community with the working poor and generationally poor who have been exploited horribly during this campaign by a man pretending to be one of their own because his skin color matches theirs more than the other candidates.

Don’t come here pretending to know my people better than I do. You don’t know shit from shinola!

About the only thing I agree with you about is the fact that AAs really do need to spread their participation better between both Parties. Otherwise they will remain irrelevant as they are now in the democratic process.

And this is why I have no compunction about voting for McCain should Obama be the nominee.

So go away Hillary/Clinton-hater. You people are the reason we got stuck with George Bush. You people ARE THE PROBLEM!

You said 50 states, then why if you say so are you not pressing Obama to have redos in Fla and Mich, scare he will lose big time, thus losing every major state aside from his home state?

Stop dreaming and start thinking, Obama is for Obama, and it pains you to accept the fact he is just another selfish politician and not the messiah he once claimed to be!

But like any disater, once the elections are over, there will be councelling for those shell shocked by the turn off of the kool aide taps when Obama sinks off into obscurity after he is trounced and made out to be a complete fraud!

She won’t be voting for Obama and there are probably tens of millions of other people who won’t vote for him, either. The problem for you Hill-backers is that the $109 million Bulletproof Queen of Tuzla has higher negatives than Obama, so even MORE people won’t be voting for her!

OBAMESSIAH has a 48 state strategy…..Quit bogeying the pipe…

Have you all seen these photos from the SF fund raiser? Puts the question “how wealthy were these people?” to rest. And the comments are pretty good.

Now THESE are the people to whom Obama can make fun of other people behind their backs!

http://tinyurl.com/5wnc3l

I agree sorta like PRE-EMPTIVE ASS COVERING…

Obama doesn’t know jack shit about how I live, or about my family in the Midwest. How the hell did that guy become some sort of expert on how Americans think and feel?

I’m sorry but it’s just ludicrous for anyone to believe that he possesses any kind of understanding of others, when he doesn’t know who they hell HE is? Sorry Obama.. we DO “get you”, you’re a snob. When are you and Kerry going windsurfing?

He won’t speak to foreign leaders….He’ll just make inspirational speeches and do photo-ops.

Bet you bought Obama’s book of lies too huh, remember the Kennedy airlift that brought Obama’s dad to America?……Oh wait, Obama’s dad was in America a year before the Kennedy’s got involved! But that wasn’t a lie, it was Hope huh……lol

Want some more kool aide? It is orange flavored to remind you of Florida, or you already forgot them?

flim-flam man

Perfect description!

Something other than the obvious bothers me about this,and some of his previous gaffes.

In his so-called apology Obama said “maybe I didn’t say it as well as I could have” (or words to that effect)

If Obama were to become President of the USA and “didn’t say something as well as he could have” in an international situation which required great tact, it could cause an intervational “incident”, which could lead who knows where!

Is this the kind of man America needs in the White House?

B-Rob…..Are you old enough to vote ?

It’s a reasonable conclusion to make.

Redux what he says ansd he’s calling people in small towns: bitter, gun toting, bible thumping, racist xenophobes.

And he’s linking it to his underperformance in Penn. The GOP can run with this for a year.

He’s aslo making a critical argument against his own General Election viability.

Wow.. the black community suddenly, after decades of respect and affection, now “hate” Hillary Clinton?

You seem to be smart enough to operate a computer, does it EVER occur to you to ask WHY they would turn on someone that has been a friend and champion to ALL people?

It’s called manipulation, you idiot. It’s the Alinsky method, and it’s the worst thing that has happened to race relations in our country in many years. Obama and Axelrod have managed to reverse the gains we’ve made in race relations in the past 25 years, in just one primary season.

Unity, my ass!

As Rev. Wright shoves that pesky Jewish Jesus off the cross and limbs up there himself……LOL.

This is a caca moment.

He’s also making an argument against his own national viability.

These ‘elite’ wealthy clowns in SF who he is begging from are NOT democrats… They are democrats in drag. They have no more democratic ideals than the tree I see out of my window. Neither is BO. Democrats care about people…, ALL people. – all these SF assholes and BO at this ‘private’ fundraiser think about are money and the power it can buy. It’s disgusting. Its the stuff of revolution…

Right on Mimi!!!

I am sick to death of his shit. THanks for saying better than I could.

Sorry, hope your lunch wasn’t fried chicken on a bun….lol

Except for those pesky white kids that the Clinton’s planted to follow him around and taunt him….Little did those evil Clintons know was that this worked right into the devine plan of messiah packaging. DRATS!

I have been saying this from the beginning. Janis, you are so right. However, there are more of us and the people will prevail. The real people. The middle class who work and run the country. The people who serve and clean and sweat to see that our companies and our institutions keep running everyday. We make people rich, not necessarily ourselves, but we love our children and work hard and never give up. We will prevail in this election. We can spot phonies a mile away.

I hope they ar reading it very slowly….REMEDIALLY perhaps with phonics and visal aids.

As soon as he opened his arrogant mouth he made himself the “patient” of the world. Your naivity is showing now…

Don’t come here pretending to know my people better than I do. You don’t know shit from shinola!

Ok confused, is shinola what you get when mommy puts coins in the birthday cake and you dunno and swallow it and poop it out the next day?

NEW LEFT…NEW LEFT….NEW LEFT….. Goose Step in Unison please.

He won Rob in states that held caucuses by getting “Republicans for a day” to come over and play in our nominating system; knowing full well that McCain would have an easier time beating Obama than he would Clinton.

These “rural” voters that you site to fall into (2) categories

1. African American
2. Republican’s Obama is courting for “voting” day

All the numbers clearly show that Obama has not been winning the core constituency base of the Democratic Party; Clinton has.

NEW LEFT….NEW LEFT….NEW LEFT….. Goose Step in Unison Please…..

Dominated??!! Hmmmmm wonder what else you exagerate about….

B-Rob…..Do you get a nifty little patch from the OBAMESSIAH to sew onto your nifty brown shirt at rallies ?

I think Donna meant “visting lecturer”, but it does make it sound so much more important to be a “constitutional law professor”.

How precious that the prof is trying to educated us uneducated Hillary supporters on what small town America is like. Is Brazille for real? What part of slamming the small towns of PA is educational? Yeah.. people attend fundraisers to be educated.. No, people attend those pricey house parties to feel special and to rub elbows with a candidate.

The worst thing is that obama never really apologized. He said he was sorry if “the way I said it” offended people. But he asserted that he was speaking the “truth”.

Did you see today’s Rasmussen’s today Obama towel boy? NOT looooooking gooooooood!

I have to say that this is one of the best responses to the whole issue of race being interjected into the campaign. I’ve been saying it all along that the AA community has nothing to really base Mr. Obama on other then his own skin color…if you look at the neighborhood in which he represented in Chicago, it appears he never really did much for the people that lived there.

Thanks for telling it from your point of view!
The AA community needs more folks like you to stand up and speak out on this issue.

Obama is a coward. He has his minions do his fighting for him. If he was TRULY a man of integrity and honor, he would call off his pack of wolves and denounce their divisive and destructive behavior. He refuses to do that. Have you ever asked yourself why that is?

Sounds like Obama is the one who is bitter. Hard to understand why that would be…he hasn’t been “suppressed” by the “typical white person”, has he?

Here’s an excerpt from a Washington Post article…

Obama acknowledges, with no small irony, that he benefits from his race.

If he were white, he once bluntly noted, he would simply be one of nine freshmen senators, almost certainly without a multimillion-dollar book deal and a shred of celebrity. Or would he have been elected at all?

There you have it. BTW- you might want to read his book. Don’t miss the nifty little section which discusses the benefits of race-baiting.

He can’t have it both ways.

Oh, and love that SNOB poster. Someone really needs to tell him that the looking down his nose thing just doesn’t make him look friendly. And in light of his recent comments (and truths), it just reinforces that. It’s far too Moussolini for me (forgive the spelling – Mussolini? Moussolini?)

Good answer. It is difficult to answer alledged humans like B-moron while keeping clear of their insanity, but you did it.

In the spirit of internet confessions…..I am Obama’s White side….I have been engaged in a spiritual struggle to intergrate my genetic, socio-economic, cultural and psychological halfs into a single intergrated funtional entity….In order to do this…..I have been forced to “kill” my cracker side and all my living cracker relatives unless I’m speaking to white folks and raising money…..Metaphorically speaking of course….Well I must return to the sub-conscience…..

B-lob, calling B-lob rehearsal underway at HuffingtonPissed for the “butbutbutHillary chorus.” All tenors line up please.

What a crock of shit.

Why wasn’t that “growing hatred” on display at MLK’s memorial? Where was Obama? Nevermind.

What’s with you Republicans? The black community has always embraced the Clintons. Attempts at re-writing the history of this basic fact doesn’t make it so.

Choose Colin Powell as the VP? If you believe that the man who pissed his reputation down a hole to lie us into an illegal and immoral war is an asset…BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The ENTIRE country knows what Powell did. Good luck with that pipe dream.

Elitist is as elitist does. Look up “elitist” in a dictionary and you are likely to see a photo of Obama. He is a man who oozes “if you don’t support me then f*ck you” out of every pore.

Ouch. It will be more obvious after PA.

Really? I thought he was a soprano. Maybe that is just the falsetto B-lob whines in?

He needs to admit he doesn’t know a thing about small town America and that he needs to button his fly trap and go on a listening tour. How cruel to explain why small town people aren’t rushing on his hope train by dismissing their lives.

Overwhelmingly won in Wyoming? Where in the hell do you get your facts? Wyoming was a caucus state. Funny how dozens of those seemed to crop up this election cycle. Wyoming has 58K registered Dems. 7K showed up. That’s less than a 12% turnout. Wow. That’s really impressive, isn’t it? Guess the other 51K registered Dems don’t count.

“Queers” will be up next….Oh wait!…..Meeks….Right.

Take Minnesota and Wisconsin off your list – I think there is a lot of buyers remorse going on up here.

OLD left, more like. FDR’s left, with a better ethnic consciousness to boot.

I still can’t fathom how a “movement” that:

1) spits on the working class,
2) makes a huge deal out of shoving old people aside and taking over, and
3) uses the most disgusting sexist attacks I’ve ever seen

can manage to position itself as Democratic — pro-union, pro-care for the elderly, and pro-woman! How the fuck is this even possible? Did I tunnel into Bizzaro World or what?

I’ll break in with a point about his house for the Obama supporter to digest here. Mr. Obama was able to buy his $1.6 Million home back in the first part of 2005….WHEN his (most recent at the time) 2004 tax return showed a little over $200K of income for the year with no interest/dividend income (so he had no investments or savings). Now, as a person who runs his own investment business, I can tell you that his property deal COULD NOT have been totaly on the up and up here! Without some major downpayment or “other assistance” coming from someplace… he could’ve never qualified, on his own accord, for that house!

There you have it. BTW- you might want to read his book. Don’t miss the nifty little section which discusses the benefits of race-baiting.

You can hear him read that segment aloud on youtube…along with some other interesting things.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI77cU3jsFs

He “won” rural red states because they had caucuses and his “Democrat for a day”s (i.e. republicans) could vote for him and drown out the votes of the actual Democrats. Are you deluded enough to think that the “Democrat for a day”s are not going to vote for McSame in November?

I think that a lot of the SuperDs and everyone else are still waiting to see how things will turn out in PA and the other states. Once they have that, they can then “pass the buck” as it were to the voters and say, “I’m supporting Clinton, because the voters have said they care about Obama’s gaffe. I don’t have a problem with you or your filthy rich friends, Barack, it’s the voters.”

And I don’t mind that, really. She will trounce him in PA and everyplace except NC, where she’ll make a better showing there than people would have thought. And then, things will begin getting better. Barack’s gaffe gives everyone the excuse to get off the Barack Express without referring to their own personal misgivings.

And if this does come off, Hillary’s nomination will turn out to be the biggest expression of populist power (and the biggest thumb in the eye to the filthy rich kingmakers and the media) that this country has ever SEEN.

One word: BULLSHIT. Punahou Preparatory School on the island of Oahu is one of the most prestigious schools in the country. He DID NOT attend that school (grades 5-12) on scholarship.

He WAS NOT raised solely by his mother. He was predominantly raised by his grandparents. Please check your facts before spewing your bs propaganda all over creation.

Have a nice day.

The good Reverand was at it again today at a funeral, bitching about Fox News. So, Obama is assured of seeing this all go into the next cycle and the beat goes on.

S.N.O.B. = Snotty Nosed Obama Brat

Nothing like giving birth to your own oppressor.

You cracker me up!

What part of I despise Barack Obama are you having trouble understanding?

But but but if he listens, he might have to abandon his own, smug reassuring predetermined prejudices. And then he would be empty.

You know you’d better stop it or well for lack of a better word, Michelle Obama will come after you and teach you a thing or two!

I LOOOVVVVE that lady! I get so angry when I see the press spinning this and am so happy to see that there are people who aren’t buying the spin, who see through his comments to what he really meant! And she’s from Florida, I love that! Ms. Florida, whoever you are, I salute you!

She’s too busy bitch-slapping Barack right now for not bringing a script along when he opened his stupid pie-hole.

Thanks Uppity. You rock!

I listened to that yesterday and it made me want to hurl. Who the hell does this ratbastard think he is kidding?

like Donna will maintain her “perfect” record when it comes to backing successful Democratic candidates.

Tooooooooooooo Funny!

I love that SNOB poster. And the best of all is he can’t help but put his nose in the air and every time he does everyone who sees him will think “SNOB”.

I bet they try to tie his chin to his collar tonight and when he debates Hillary this week LOL-out loud.

Barack’s Primal Scream.

Good point. Never thought of that. Any Obama supporter here who wants to take a shot at that? Hmm..

I believe it is one thing to acknowledge racism exits (Rendell).

It is quite another thing to intentionally exploit racial and cultural divides for political gain and in the same breath turn around and say it was someone else playing the those cards.

The caller was straight up salt of the earth, and was offended, as am I by the shear ignorance of the comment. Obama is NOT fast on his feet and not qualified to be the POTUS. Period.

If Obama wants to raise money from “what’s Rich”, so be it, but don’t play the “game is fixed” card while doing a politically stupid driveby, calling everyone else fustrated, bitter, weak bigots, who would use guns and religion as shelter from your delusionally prescribed “Gansta Paradise” reality.

Face it Barak, you don’t have a clue of “what’s is going on”.

I believe that as more people see how Obama supporters act they will be repulsed by the Bushbotlike behavior.

Remember only a few years ago when Bush was riding high and saying anything against him or against his illegal war could get you attacked viciously, get your job threatened and other instances of bullying that have no place in a Democratic Society? Remember all that? Most of that was done by the cowards that scurried out late at night and scraped Bush/Cheney Bumper Stickers off their cars and now claim that they were always against invading Iraq. Yeah. Right.

Well take a good look at a large number of Obama supporters that behave in exactly the same way and tell me that they’re Democrats or Liberals or Progressives.

As for all the phonies inhabiting most of Left Blogistan go right ahead and shill for Obama. It’s your right. But please don’t call yourselves Progressives. Because you’re not. Fauxgressives, yes. Progressives, absolutely not!

Mimi – You are so darn eleoquent! Wow! just WOW!

He brought it, just that he had to have a poo-poo in the garden of the mansion cuz according to Obama, white only signs still hang on washrooms in America, we Racist Swines, and he needed something to wipe up after and well the script only consisted of “Just Words”!

I “cling to” my religion out of my faith in God…but the SNOBama wouldn’t understand!!

Actually I don’t think this primary was all that brutal. It’s just that Obama gets all prissy and pulls the race card if he is questioned. It does seem those days days are over for him now. He will be in the fetal position after PA.

HRC and the New Democrats are the legitimate eirs to FDR Progressive movement. OBAMESSIAH is the New Left Liberal Identity Politics puppet…..When I’m saying New Left I am alluding to recent party history and how the New Democrats during the Clinton/Gore admin. moved the party to the center, and away from the factional infighting that had bogged down the party throughou the 70′s and 80′s. One of the allmarks of the New Democrats was to reclaim an ideological emphasis on economic solutions. When I say New Left I’m using the identity politics centered factions which is the primary concern ofthe New Left. n my humble opinion there is no “right wing ” in the DNC and has’nt been sice LBJ. There are classic progressives who began to move center with the New Democrats and the Leberal Elites/New Left with their agenda. When the two work together a lot is accomplished. OBAMESSIAH has only one strategy and that has been to break up the ase and to achieve that he has used the only weapon he has …Race…Classic New Left tactic. He is destroying my party and for this I will never fogive him.

Uppity……Do you think she wears leather or vinyl when she’s disciplining Barry…..LOL

Ehemmmmmm……….HOWL!………

Janis, you are absolutely right about who is behind this. A look at Obama’s donor list confirms it. It’s a given that the thought of Hillary as President scares the monied interests half to death, but sometimes I think they would actually prefer Obama to McCain. Obama has never been, is not now, and never will be interested in anything other than what will benefit his own adorable self; and that will make him so easy for them to control.

The second he opened his mouth.

Professor my ass. Part-time lecturer. I thought his support all came from edumacated types — well, they know the difference between tenure-track and not.

Wright is back up this old trick spewing hate for whites and America, call FOX news the FIX news, and Sean Hannity stupid.

“Fox News can’t understand that. [Bill] O’Reilly will never get that. Sean Hannity’s stupid fantasy will keep him forever stuck on stupid when it comes to comprehending how you can love a brother who does not believe what you believe. [Pincham’s] faith was a faith in a God who loved the whole world not just one country or one creed.”

Wright once again attack America to the cheer of his adoring fans.

America’s founding fathers “planted slavery and white supremacy in the DNA of this republic,” and adding that Thomas Jefferson wrote, “ ‘God would punish America for the sin of slavery.’ I guess that makes Thomas Jefferson unpatriotic,” he said to the cheers of the congregation.

Jake Tapper ABC blog has the audio link to the speech but it needs to be cleaned up to hear it better so if someone can do that it would be appreciated am sure it will be interesting to listen to it.

http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/892017,wright041208.article

Do you think Michelle will get the chance to carefully arrange voters for the cameras….Hmmmm…..What will that look like…..I’ll bet a deep fried possum that the bitter cracker contingent might have see through tape over their mouths…..Bet she loads the rows with Asians…….Yeah, Get me more asians…..

Ehemmmm…..Barry….. Your LIBERAL/MARXIST elitist ideological underwear is showing…..HOWL…..

Uppity, I don’t think he’ll carry a script — I predict next time he’s seen in public, he’ll have one of those bulges under his coat up on his back like Bush had in one of the debates. Michele will probably fit him with some kind of electronic zapper too, so that everytime he says anything other than what she has specifically told him to say, he’ll get a buzz totally unlike that pleasant little cell phone vibration.

Mark my words — at some point, Obama is going …going.. gone…HOME

I would like to give the Florida caller a BIG kiss for her wonderful “middle America” reading on the content of Barack’s speech in San Francisco.

Politicians, at times, do say things off message, and an apology can smooth things over because people will understand this, and realize that whatever was said was a minor blip.

The difference with Obama’s fundraiser speech is the emphasis placed on its actual meaning in the context of his speech. This was not a minor “off message” remark that he made. This was the real Barack bubbling up to the surface. Obviously, he felt comfortable enough in front of this group to let his true elitist persona come to the fore, because there weren’t any of them darn Wal-Mart working, tobacco chewing, F150 driving redneck people sitting in the audience. When one understands the environment in which the speech was made, and the laughter that occurred after the offending statements were made, it only reinforces the disconnect that exists between the Democratic working class grunts, and the elitist within the party. It was snobbery at its worst, and payback will happen when the grunts thumb their noses at the Democratic party come November if Obama is our nominee.

What I would really like Obama’s supporters to explain is who is the real Obama? Is he an authentic “uniter” (I don’t think so), or is he some guy who puts on a special mask for each of the unique constituencies he rallies? The unmasked version of the real Obama has shown its face in San Francisco, and it was not a pretty sight.

I believe it is one thing to acknowledge racism exits

Did Rendell “acknowledge” racism, or did he give White voters the “OK” by telling them they were not alone in not wanting to vote for a Black man? Depends on where you sit. My Black professional coworkers read it the latter, which is why they will not vote for Hillary, no matter what. And don’t get me started on Gerry Ferraro’s b.s.

It is quite another thing to intentionally exploit racial and cultural divides for political gain and in the same breath turn around and say it was someone else playing the those cards.

I agree! And that is why Hillary lost her 75/25 lead among Black voters. They played the “muslim” card in Iowa, the “drug dealer” card in New Hampshire, and thought no Black people would notice or care about that b.s.? She alienated the most solid part of the base trying to make Obama “just another” Black candidate. After all, why else compare Obama, well funded a US Senator from a major state who had just won the first election of the nominating campaign, — why compare him to Jesse Jackson, a jack legged preacher who has never been elected to anything. Again, did you think Black people wouldn’t notice that?

The caller was straight up salt of the earth

The reality is you have no idea who that caller was. She could be a Florida GOPer consultant for all you know. It’s called “astroturf” — phony “grass roots” consternation bought and paid for by political consultants. Ever heard of it?

Janis…..I’m edumicated at a fo reel IVY LEAGUE with A Fancy Graduate Degree and everything ( U of Penn 89, founded by Ben Franklin no less )
and yes…..No academic would’ve made such an idiotic mistake on a CV.
Brazeal the Anti-intellectual is a Putz of the first order. LOL

It’s the same MO he used for his “excellent” race speech… apologize, but never admit you are wrong.

Small town America is a great place to grow up and raise a family. Laid back quiet, concert in parks, and the HS marching band in parades, that lead to field days.

BO wont win any small town hearts with that statement, he can spin it.. The Floridian on the call, got it right.

Hmmm……I just have to say, and I know it’s off topic …..But Carson ( or any availabe Queer eye for the straight guy crew ) would you please go over to Donna Brazeal’s house and assist in a makeover with that weird ERASERHEAD Hair do of hers…..That hair style only works on Maniacle Bitter mass murderin white guys in David Lynch films…..Sorry I had to say something. I’m not sayin’….I’m just judgin’.

And another thing…you poor, ignorant hillbillies bitterly clinging to your religion, your guns, your xenophobia, we, the enlightened,

have been telling you for 15 years the source of all your misery is Hillary Clinton and still you don’t listen. We’re trying to help you. The GOP…the party of ideas…spent 15 years trying to help you. We Democrats are trying to help you. And still you resist. You continue to delude yourselves that you know yourselves better than we do…we, who have wanted only the best for you. You make it so hard for us to help you. Sigh.

BITE ME….

Are you sure that’s the correct link?

The reality is you have no idea who that caller was. She could be a Florida GOPer consultant for all you know. It’s called “astroturf” — phony “grass roots” consternation bought and paid for by political consultants. Ever heard of it?

B-Rob dost protest too much, methinks.

AMMAN (AP) — Thirty-five international oil companies have qualified to bid for future oil and gas contracts to develop one of the world’s largest oil fields, an Iraqi oil ministry statement said Sunday.

That’s all the surge was about, the same day Joe Lieberman appears on the chat circuit and calls the surge a success.

It must be galling to the Obama’s, surrounded by that wealth, unable to belong.

It’s hard, when status and money are important to you, to know others see you as the less successful one, to always be dependent upon their goodwill..

What difference does it make who the caller was? Her sentiments, as expressed, could be from almost any Democrat, Independent, or Republican from our rural culture. If she was some kind of plant, I don’t care. As a person with small town roots, she spoke to me, and for me.

Is the strike against K$$ still going?

You are right about one thing. He is not teaching law school. He is trying to win a political campaign — something you Hill-bots know nothing about.

You know what I find funny? You people may think he is so “angry”, but no one else takes him that way. Could it be that it is YOU that are angry because, like the George H.W. Bush fans in 1992, just don’t understand why your establishment candidate is getting her arse kicked by a relative upstart. THAT is where the anger is, not on his side of the aisle!

it’s his job to connect to the voters and he’s not doing that

Funny . . . the more people hear him, the more they like him. What does that tell you? He was down more than 20 points in Pennsylvania and he will lose by no more than 5 — mark my words. Because even if people as so faux “offended” by his remarks, they ALL know a friend, a cousin or an uncle who fits into the “left behind and bitter” catagory he was talking about.

So the family in her Ohio “didn’t have $100 co-pay” story . . . they are not bitter or angry about what happened to their loved one? Hillary tours Allentown and did not meet ANYONE who was angry? That only means that (a) her audiance was a bunch of disproportionately peppy people, or (b) she did hear the anger and despair, but she is lying now for political reasons (surprise surprise), or (c) she wasn’t f*cking listening. Either way, it shows she is not ready for prime time if she doesn’t know what’s happening out here.

Well, I’ve come full circle in forty years. When I was a kid, classmates called me a N@##$% lover because I was inspired by MLK (LBJ, too) to believe that all people are created equal and deserve the same opportunities. Now, I’m called a racist because I insisted on voting for the most qualified candidate-Hilllary.
What changed? I didn’t.

Ehemmmm…..You forgot to mention that Barry’s grandparents were evil racist bitter CRACKERS…….

From another AA.

BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO!!!

THANK YOU!!!

Mark my words Hows that for ya?

Some really twisted pretzel logic you have there B-Rob.

because Black people will ALWAYS vote Dem.

News flash fer ya…little feller,

…if only I can convince my Black professional friends to vote McCain

I don’t care what color they are! As for voting for McCain it won’t be an endorsement of his wife’s Budweiser interests. It will be because Obama doen’t know where the closet is, let a lone the skeltons in it ,the next POTUS will have to deal with.

All those people with guns might damn well have to hunt with them in order to survive, never mind the people in Kentucky and else where who don’t dental care.

12 reasons ‘bitter’ is bad for Obama
http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20080412/pl_politico/9561

that cspan caller from florida really hit the nail on the head. no wiggle room for obama.

mimi,

You just got my vote.

Mimi,

Thank you!

How astute and well said……Could be why the Beloved OBAMESSIAH has a representative attending the trial daily…..Hmmmm.

Janis opened a mind link with Obama, a psychic link the NSA has yet to disclose.

MIT perfected the technology in the fifties, though Janet is a “natural born ” talent.

Janis and Obama are the same, she’s giving us front line reporting.

Like dan rather, in Viet Nam, remember?

/snark…

sweet sue, don’t sweat it. i am sure behind my back some of my fellow african-americans call me a turncoat for supporting hillary over obama. the irony is obama is half black so they are supporting a son of a white woman. geez. color does not matter to me. experience does.

From another AA

BRAVO, BRAVO ,BRAVO!!!!

LOVE IT!!

Terrondt,

It’s all about “looks”, not substance. I wish black Americans, who want white American to be colorblind, would be colorblind themselves.

The issue of race will continue to fester until all Americans are able to do this.

Some day, there will be a black American president in the US, and it will be one who actually deserves the position based on his capabilities, not his color.

B-Rob, when are you going to realize that winning 6 of the 10 Democrats in Wyoming is hardly winning the state overwhelmingly. Come Novemeber, he’d still get those same 6 votes, and maybe 2 more.

I don’t think 8 voters can carry Wyoming, what do you think? 499,992 votes for McCain, 8 votes for Obama. Do the math.

The caucus method is hardly indicative of a fair sample of the democratic vote.

It appears there was much cheating, much disorganization.

Anyone who puts hope in the caucus as a positive indicator for Obama is deluded, will be in a for a nasty surprise.

Nope…..She was a democrat…How do we know this ? because the GOP wants OBAMESSIAH to be the candidate or have’nt you beenpaying attention…

More “non-working” people in Colorado voted for Obama than Hillary, which is why he won that state. More cattle and sheep voted for Obama in Wyoming than for Hillary. Which is why he won that state, too. You can make all the excuses you want, but she lost those “fly over” states because SHE THOUGHT THEY DIDN’T MATTER. Well guess what? That poor planning and miscalculation is why she will not be the nominee. If she can’t run a competent 50 state campaign in the primaries, why in the HELL would anyone think she could do that in the general?

But all this is beside the point. My real point is simple: in these states, which have practically no Black population, Obama waxed Hillary. He made it part of his strategy to get out and pursue the very White rural voters (people like his grandparents, as he often says) — the very people you Hill-bots are now claiming he so hates. Well if he supposedly “hates” them and thinks they are bigots and pursues them, what does that say about how Hillary feels about them? Did she think she had them in her pocket? Did she think they would, as Rendell said, “never vote for a Black man”? Obama proved them wrong, didn’t he?

His 4 to 1 delegate margins in those White rural congressional districts is why he is in the lead and why he has won 14 of the last 16 elections. Superior strategy, superior tactics, superior work ethic and superior message.

Lastly, the dismissive attitude toward the states you lost is VERY telling, characterwise. When Obama loses, he does not use the “sour grapes” excuse making. The other candidate, of course, does.

The thing is … at this point, calling him a “professor” may be the worst thing she could do. For a guy who’s already combating an accurate portrayal of himself as an elitist snob, flapping academic credentials in people’s faces isn’t going to win anyone over. :->

We overedumacated academic types here on the Hillary side of the fence can play this slapfight, too. Heh.

Funny!

I always wondered where those democrats from Wyoming came from! I always thought that they were Californians visiting their vacation homes!

Yes, the strike is still on.

isn’t Obama himself conceding that he’s unelectable if small towns are full of bigots? Makes a lot of sense doesn’t it?

Did Rendell “acknowledge” racism, or did he give White voters the “OK” by telling them they were not alone in not wanting to vote for a Black man? Depends on where you sit. My Black professional coworkers read it the latter, which is why they will not vote for Hillary, no matter what.

Ever heard of black racists before? They really do exist, as I remember it growing up as an Asian-American in the South during the intergration period. People have to be taught to hate another due to race, and it’s truly pitiful seeing it from kindergardeners, even (as they imitate their parents to a “T”).

I’m over 40 now, and I see nothing much has changed. Blacks will vote on race (as well as Whites), and all I have to say is each makes their own hay out of it. The polarity need not exist, but it does, and it does because folks want to redefine it for what it isn’t — no matter what your background or race, racists exist, and they’ll vote based on their upbringing.

His mother was living in Indonesia, Asshat.

Yeah. Right. Sure.

Do you Hill-bots ever get tired of being so wrong?

And yet I hear so many Obamabot soit-disant “feminists” going on and on about Hillary’s corporate connections … Damn idiots.

Well, now you sound like a drunk republican troll, WCA.

Obama isn’t liberal Marxist, he’s Cheney, just another crook looking to exploit three illegal wars started by, and fucked up by, his idiot half wit cronies, most out of U Penn.

Just kidding, most out of the Ivy Leagues.

Gosh, I hope we have war crimes trials, at the very least.

isn’t Obama himself conceding that he’s unelectable if small towns are full of bigots? Makes a lot of sense doesn’t it?

And like racism up north, he does the classic: hide it behind closed doors thingee — he forgets bigots are everywhere, even in San Francisco (which residents he was pandering, too).

beebop, I get the impression that B-Rob is white, so I doubt if Trinity would hire him. And he admits he was at one time a registered Republican! Not a good recommendation for anyone who wants any kind of political job in Chicago.

Wow…I cannot believe Obama supporters continue the lies. Calling the Clintons and their supporters racists has turned off as many people as it turned on. Please, just stop.

Simon honey, you just don’t want to admit how easily a woman can see through male shit.

Given the number of blogs on this and the heated response from the O backers, I would say the Obama campaign and his supporters know this is a fire that will not be out out.
The caller had it right. And that, is the truth as we “rural people clinging to our God and our guns” hear it.
Obama got caught with his rich buyers laughing at and denigrating the very people who will be voting on April 22. Not too bright.
Not unexpected either, if you have been paying attention.

Nobody told them that Republicans get to vote in November.

He went to visit his mother and then swung over to POCKISTON to stay with a friend for three weeks and get a refresher.

You know what, in the scheme of presidential politics, they really DON”T matter. That is unfortunate, but true. The local Democrats in the solidly Republican western states should blame themselves for this since they obviously have not been able to convince their Republican and Independent neighbors to embrace the Democratic philosophy. What is the reason for this? Obviously, the Independents and Republicans don’t like what they see. The lesson here is for the Democrats to nudge a little closer to the belief’s of their neighbors, but the Democrat’s progressive orthodoxy prevents them from doing so.

The one thing the leftie Democrats have been able to accomplish though, is to take control of the Democratic caucuses which ultimately will lead to the Democratic defeat in the fall due to their inability to case orthodoxy aside and swallow a more moderate version of the Democratic creed. Holding the Democratic party hostage to the radical left is a very selfish, and self-serving thing to do.

elitist ideological underwear is showing

His cell phone vibrated and fell down there and he offered a kiss to a woman if she would fish it out.

True…I was in Texas…..What a joke! Over 2000 complaints of voter fraud/intimidation…After only counting 40% of the results the Tx DNC called it for OAMESSIAH even though HRC won oner 95% of the popular vote primary….Caucuses are a quaint 18th c. left over and the only reason they still have them is it’s cheaper.

Or taking a trip to the next piano bar?

Clearance sale over at my blog on Obama Gear.

How do you get a crack addict to help with kitchen remodelding?

Tell them you threw a rock behind each of the appliances. The aplliances will be removed in short order.

I lived through that crap, and have witnessed the dispicable plague of distruction it has on the lives of human beings.
especially as he was winning overwhelmingly White states like Wyoming, Utah….until he said them “rifle rack in the pickup’s cab window, gun toten, weak, god fearin’ bigots are bitter and angry and inderring them “folks” are blaming him.

—-
workingclass artist, what is your preferred medium? I agree with your comment, BTW.

Well I live in CO and the reason Senator Obama won is because most of the caucus goers were rich, well heeled, elitists. Many elderly women were intimidated and many unable to attend on a cold, icy night. Many poor working Moms were unable to attend also. My caucus was in an upscale neighborhood, 80% of the homes in the half million category, and the rest, like mine, working class.

Funny thing though. In our small minority neighborhoods, Hillary won. Those neighborhoods are mostly African American and Latino. The leaders of our Hillary support group were African American. Pigeonholing people is a mistake and Senator Obama made that mistake. Senator Clinton jumped on it. That’s the way it works.

I’m in where’s my academic wet noodle saber.LOL

Interesting video comments on Snobgate maybe you have not seen:

Your posts about black Americans are off the mark. Sure, some will go have a hissy fit and stay home on election day if Hillary is the nominee. Much of Barack’s support is from new voters, many of them black, coming into the system so that they could specifically vote for him. They cyinical side of me knows that they haven’t been voting anyway in the past, so good riddance to them.

The Democratic party should not be held hostage by any one group, including Black America.

As an Obama Republican

Notice, “Republican” not conservative?

Ever wonder why true conservatives don’t like these Neo-Cons?

R-Bob is a fitting example of a pariah from either side of the aisle: no principles; no values; no loyalty.

There is a really good article about Barack Obama’s mother in this week’s addition of Newsweek. She sounds like an interesting person. She had a doctorate in anthropology. (Not exactly a stereotypical single mother.) I keep wondering how she would feel about the divisive campaign her son is running.

I hope there is a war crimes trial too…I will be front and center, noisily chompin on fried possum rinds and popcorn topped with proper Italian Weed Arugula ( must watch the waistline ) I plan getting my working class vinyl out fit at Fredric’s of Hollywood and parking my giant RV in front of the capital…..Save me a seat. Oh…I almost forgot…None of my U of Penn Elitist alums were involved much that I know of….Quakers….They were mostly skull and crossbone types…Yalies and Harvards and Princetonians….U of Penn was founded by Ben Franklin and within the league is really down on the ladder so to peak as far as the other IVY’s are concerned…..

Isn’t that what Ed Rendell said? Funny . . . Obama never has said that . . . especially as he was winning overwhelmingly White states like Wyoming, Utah, etc.

Because Neo-Cons like you were voting. Everyone knows that Wyoming and Utah are whiter than rice, and the only way they would vote for a Black man is if there’s something in it for them — like giving McCain an easy ride.

Dunno, I think I left mine under my copy of Jackson’s Electrodynamics. Heh.

BRAVO….OBAMESSIAH is simply the wrong candidate at the wrong time for the party.

“Boneheaded” is a natural occurance with BO.

Obama of being a drug dealing anti-White Muslim with ties to anti-American, anti-semetic, anti-gay Christian preachers; an elitist who relies on small rural all White Red States or Black people for his victory margin; who is single handedly refusing to let the Florida and Michigan Dem. Parties cast delegates Hillary’s way; all while taking money from Islamist terrorists overseas via campaign contributions funneled through college students who beat up elderly Hillary supporters at undemocratic caucuses.

That’s about the most accurate thing you have said B-Rob. It needs some citations, but your getting there.

I want a vinyl discipline harness in purple please ( as I read at the OPRASPHERE using my special internet connection ) that this was a for real IDENTICAL replica of what Michelle uses on Barry….LOL

I never understood putting plastic covers on the furniture.

Bowling is not what Obama is good at, so maybe he is mad and taking it out on us bigots ’cause he bowled a 37.

Barak Obama has spent the last twenty years of his life being indoctrinated by Reverend White about who and what “White America” is really all about. And this is who he is talking about here correct? After all, I suppose that his statement doesn’t apply to African Americans?

That is my question to Mr. Obama. Do blacks reach for guns, violence and religion out of bitterness?

(Does this does not described Reverend Wright perfectly?)

This is textbook “projection.” Something Mr. Obama has been doing from day one. He attacks Hillary by calling her “Bush-Lite” That is a low handed Bush-ism (You are either with us or you are against us — Clinton is not one of us he tells us, she is an enemy as bad as Bush. He lost me right there on the spot), one of many he has lobbed.

I have no doubt that what Mr. Obama said came straight from his heart. That these are his true feelings. That he is bitter. That his spirituality is really about trying to escape what appears to be (read his book) a lifelong bitterness.

And doesn’t he come across as bitter and most often than not, cynical? His jabs at others are always bordering on contempt but never short on ridicule?

Yes, I say we finally saw the man behind the mask. Even if only a very small glimpse. But the damage is, as always, the accumulation of events. Anyone who remembers Wright’s hatred and that Mr. Obama was a part of the hate for close to twenty years, can “jump the shark” (just for you MSM memes) and put the pieces of this bigger picture together.

Of course, what with all of the rehabilitating Mr. Obama is receiving at the hands of the MSM will soften the blow. My goodness. I heard Wolf once again Mention Mr. Obama’s “humble beginnings” in response to the accusation that perhaps Mr. Obama may in fact be an elitist. As if you have to be born that way! Is Oprah an elitist? What do you think?

I know humble beginnings. Mr. Obama has never known such. It was obvious by his words if not his history.

Rev. Wright is bitching about Fox News at a FUNERAL??? Get outta here… does that man have no shame? He and Obama and their racist and divisive politics are just unreal. What awful people they area…

Politics 101: Obama is asked why he is not winning the votes of white, working class people at a fundraiser held by the GETTYS at a mansion in Pacific Heights.

He responds by describing them as: bitter, “clinging to guns and religion” and in barely coded language calling them bigots. The assembled millionaires have a laugh at “those peoples” expense.

What he should have said was that HE is failing to connect his message to their lives and that HE has to re-double his efforts and actually LISTEN to what other people outside of his social strata have to say. But nah, he doesn’t take any responsibility — he’s just like George.

BTW, since BO was in the area it might have been nice if he stopped off in my hometown of Oakland. We’re a bit short of millionaires, but young black men are shot dead here practically everyday and we have many, many people trying to make a living filling grocery carts with discarded cans and bottles. Maybe he could stop by and give us some specifics on his ‘hope’ and ‘change’ platform.

And what was a plus for getting him in to Harvard?

And WHO paid for that Harvard education?

Rev Wright no dought.

OMG — “Snobama”, now that name is definitely gonna stick. Perfect.

You are right …I forgot…(snicker) Hillary killed Jesus….and enslaved Africa…and is currently engagd in a conspiracy to rplace US GOVT. ISSUE CRACK with bees that have a virus implanted in them to wipe out all that oppose her and her ALIEN Co-conspirators….Sorry I lost my grip on my pipe…..Light…..Enhale……Much better……AHHHHH. LOL

Thanks SweetSue, your short post pretty much summed up the frustration most Hillary supporters are facing right now.

Funny . . . the more people hear him, the more they like him. What does that tell you?

That certainly wasn’t the case in New Hampshire where Obama ended up having his ass handed to him. If you feel so confident that “the more people hear him, the more they like him”, then why did your candidate fight re-votes in Michigan and Florida tooth and nail? The truth of the matter is that Hillary Clinton has performed BETTER among rank-and-file Democrats, particularly in states with primaries where there is MORE voter participation, while Obama has won states where the name of the state and the phrase “Democratic Party” will last be spoken in the same breath during the Democratic primary/caucus–states like Idaho, Wyoming, Utah–not exactly states with a high probability of voting Democrat either up or down the ticket. BTW, this is one voter who actually turned AWAY from Obama the more I saw of the man!

He was down more than 20 points in Pennsylvania and he will lose by no more than 5 — mark my words.

Oh, come off it, man! OF COURSE, Hillary was much further ahead at the outset, based on pure name recognition! Just as polls about the GE have little meaning at this point, so did polls that were taken before any campaigning really ensued in Pennsylvania. As to your “bet”, I would not bet the farm on that if I were you–there are a lot of gun toters and holy rollers in Pennsylvania that just might be offended by Obama’s characterization of their views. Also, if you had bothered to really track the polling, you would have discovered that Obama’s support has not changed much over the past 2 months–his numbers have fluctuated between 38% and 42% (and those fluctuations have actually gone BOTH ways over the past 2 months)–not exactly the massive “shift” that one would expect from the massive advertising blitz that the Obama campaign has launched in the state.

Because even if people as so faux “offended” by his remarks, they ALL know a friend, a cousin or an uncle who fits into the “left behind and bitter” catagory he was talking about.

You just don’t get it, do you? The insult was NOT directed toward those who are bitter and left behind–it was directed toward those whose views on guns, religion, immigration, and racial issues do not comport to the views of Senator “All-Knowing” Obama! That’s what happens when a liberal elitist who lives under the delusion that he KNOWS what is best for the poor, stupid masses tries to explain to his liberal elitist buddies why he cannot seem to convince these poor ignorant fools that he knows what is “best” for them.

Frankly, it was a damn stupid thing to say! As one who really does NOT want McBush to end up in the White House in 2009, I am VERY disturbed by this since it seems increasingly likely that Obama will be the Democratic nominee for president. I just hope that the arrogant fool gets a good dose of a reality check BEFORE he has his ass handed to him in the GE. Hillary has certainly made her share of mistakes (not the least of which is allowing Bill to campaign without total supervision), but I do not recall Hillary insulting entire blocks of voters as Obama has done here.

How many miscues from Barack Obama followed by his corresponding “I could have said it better”, but the gist of what I said is true” retorts, are Americans going to have give Obama a pass on? Open your eyes and ears and not just your heart! You may want to believe his rhetoric, but Barack obviously doesn’t believe it himself.
You have the right hopes for America, but the wrong messenger.

B-Rob, I and many other Democratic women are not getting behind Barack Obama if he is the candidate. We do not like him referring to his grandmother who raised him as a “typical white person.” We do not like his surrogate Randi Rhodes calling two dedicated female Dems “f*cking whores.” We do not like his “former” pastor (resigned in February – how convenient) using the pulpit for political gain. We do not like going to a former favorite progressive website Obamington Post to see Hillary and her supporters called bitches, whores, etc by you Obamabots.

And B-Rob, former McCain Republican, how is it that you are now speaking for a Democratic candidate? I have been a registered Dem since I first started voting – a vote for Harold Washington for mayor of Chicago. I cannot speak for others, but I do not like you.

No but I can get you a YES WE CAN sign for .49. The NO YOU CAN’T signs are going for 15.99 due to huge popularity in small towns.

Ruh roh…there’s that Snob look again…

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24063674/

PRIMAL MALE FEAR….methinks…LOL

BEST. CALLER. EVER.

B-Rob

As this nomination has gone forward, more and more of the unsavory Barack has come to light. Hillary has been out their for ages. She has been smeared unmercifully. That has stuck with some voters who will not vote for her. But all the things that we are find out right now about the mysterious Barack Obama, are new, and worthy of our consideration. The more I see, the less I like. He is far more of a flawed candidate than Hillary. Again, you have the right hopes for the country, but the wrong messenger.

This is beyond bizzare the way you folks try to spin your losses. You can say it was Republicans in caucuses, by how do you explain the primaries in places like Wisconsin? And isn’t Hillary also courting Republicans in Pennsylvania, just as Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos” helped her in Texas?

As I have said all along: Hillary was not against caucuses until she realized that he vaunted campaign staff had no clue how to compete in them. Did she NOT understand that caucuses would be included and that there are 50 states in the US, not just 12 or 14?

The combination of poor management and lack of preparedness bode WAY ILL for a Hilary Clinton presidency . . . and I have not even gotten on the issue of her husband taking money from and her campaign chair working for the very country, Colombia, whose proposed free trade agreement she supposedly opposes. If she cannot keep her husband and her campaign chair in line on a POLICY MATTER during the campaign, why would anyone think she would do better as president?

So right…and it didn’t take long for that crouwd to get weeded out, did it?

Hope these are printed in the obligatory 4 languages..You know for the rest of the democratic base….LOL

You said 50 states, then why if you say so are you not pressing Obama to have redos in Fla and Mich, scare he will lose big time, thus losing every major state aside from his home state?

So you think Florida and Michigan should get to vote twice? Why? Wasn’t there an agreed rule that they got zero delegates? Yes. So, in essence, you want these two states to vote twice because your candidate is trailing and needs all the help she can get . . . even if it means changing the rules in midstream.

Unfortunately for you, neither the Florida Dem. Party nor the Michigan party has the plan, cash, legislation, or wherewithall to redo those elections. And the last time I checked Obama was not the decision maker on any of that!

Obama ran the table in small white states because those states had been exposed to race-baiting from the left and were naive about that particular form of political manipulation. Plus, they were starstruck by the glamor, charisma, and sonorous oratory. I was myself for a long time. And thank the Lord for this long nomination process; otherwise, the Republicans would have done the vetting rather than the Democrats as it should be. Like someone said on another blog, if women were “vagina voters” they’d vote for Obama. But they’re a brain voters and they’re voting for Clinton. And I firmly believe there are millions of AA brain voters out there as well. Brainless, self-serving, racists like Donna Brazile do them a grave disservice.

Mimi for President!

WOK WOK WOK WOK WOK WOK….Sounds like Obama’s version of Pacman you’ve tunneled into.

Sounds like Obama has blamed the “white” side of his family for driving “daddy” away…

B-Rob,
What you need to understand, is that in Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Alaska and other Obama ‘white voter’ strongholds, the Democratic party can meet in a phone booth. On CNN’s big electoral map, they ALREADY have those states colored in red with a smiling picture of McCain and a checkmark next to his name.

Obama’s only voter stronghold (outside of IL) is the deep south where AA voters are heavily concentrated. The electoral problem with this strategy in the GE is that these are the SAME states with a high concentration of people who vote for Jesse Helms, Strom Thurmond and Trent Lott. In other words, Republican and they are likewise already colored red.

The road to the White House for any Dem is through Ohio, Florida, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Win any 3 of these 4 and the keys are yours. Obama has not won ANY of these in the primaries and (whether you believe it or not), white people who vote in Dem primaries are the most LIBERAL white people.

I don’t make them, but “thems the rules”.

What color does Michelle Obama wear most often? Just sayin.

B-Rob some attribution for your post please, since your second quote I have seen before but others may not.

rbobberooni …. i may not know who the caller is ….

i vote to cast you off the island .

The account at Zombietime News is a must read. he gave the speech on Billionaires Row!!

http://www.zombietime.com/obama_visits_billionaires_row/

I thought Obama was against the wealthy controlling the political process. I thought it was all about us — the bitter, the uncounted, the unwashed….

Yes we can!

B-Rob,
In order to win the GE you have to appeal to voters in straight-forward and declaritive ways. They’re just not going to spend that much time trying to get all the “nuance” about the “rules” of why their votes were not counted.

If the DNC is stupid enough to not count them — then McCain will inform them that (unlike BO) he VALUES their vote and is humbly asking them for it.

Game, set, match – McCain.

DOMINATED Hillary….WTF???

Somebody quick, Get the B-Rob a whip outa’ Michelle’s closet.

So which is it?

“D) All of the above.”

Caucuses are wonderful. A fraction of a percent of voters show up on the Obama bus and hoot and carry on, driving away people who can’t hang around. A great place for college kids who cut class to caucus, while their parents, who are paying to educate their arrogant asses, can’t leave work to caucus. Who can’t caucus? People who work 9-5. Nurses, cops, firefighters, anybody who works that shift during caucus can’t leave their shifts because they are protecting your ass. Old people can’t hang out in caucus for hours. Single women with babies. Disabled people, same there. You know, all those useless people to Barack Obama. That’s why Barry did so well in them ala McGovern. Now in primaries, nobody shouts anybody down. One person, one vote. Surprisingly, that’s how General Elections work too. The good news is, all those people I just mentioned get to show up on Election Day.

Wan’nt it a Beaut? Donna had to eat marshmallows on national TV? ug!

He needs to go back to that and community organizing. (Read: stay the frak on message.)

You forgot to add under age OBAMATOTS illegally caucusing and out of state OBAMABOTS illgally caucusing…..Oh I forgot Blocking the doors so HRC supporters couldn’t get in to caucus and chasing precinct captains to police stations…..Yeah Chicago tactics worked their magic in Texas…..Nothin like bullying a bunch of bitter ol’ crackers and wetbacks…..

He may have know something of the world, but he sure as hell doesn’t know his own country. Hence, the breathtaking tone deafness. Sheesh!

Hear, hear! And that is precisely why all of them are and forever will be hell-bent on destroying the Clintons. I wanted to vomit when I saw some asswipe on CNN just now refer to the Clinton’s $109M income over the last x years and call them elitists. That’s chicken feed for the pigs at the trough of American big business. As smart as the Clintons are, they would have been zillionaires by this time had they had the greed and overweaning arrogance and ambition of the Obamas. Bill Clinton didn’t own a flipping $2M house at the age of 43. At 43, he was earning his chops as a servant of the people. Obama should go back to Chicago and do the same.

oh bob, please you try doing mental leaps without the equipment. former republican? naw! i don’t think so. unless you are simply here to try and stir it up for your own jollies.

obama is an elists of the worst sort. he wasn’t born into it, but he thinks because he has a high iq, that he can hoodwink the rest of us. some folks will “bite” but the rest don’t like the smell. there are different types of elists. rev wrong is one. he desperately wants to be one of the pigs who walks like in animal farm. obama is his ticket. his race had some bad times so now they are “entitled”. heck, maybe i need to go to a church for irish americans that hates everyone else because we were also mistreated. where’s my check? i didn’t get the right to vote till the 1920s. i was done wrong too, so i am “special” like the annointed.

all of us if we put out minds to it can find reasons for being done wrong. it takes work to rise above it and be a success. obama is destroying everything he has worked for and i have to look at him and think “what can he be thinking?”

LOL….I’m a painter, currently experiencing a surge of political inspiration that I direct into art. I live by the principal of Laugh or Scream….In my art I’m fairly absurdist in a kinda sneeky/scary way…Kinda like OBAMESSIAH only with integrity and a sense of humor…and I’m not nearly as photogenic….And I don’t have a scary Michelle to answer to… I’ve been working off the shell shock for goin on well since the HIJACK of 2000 and I can’t get that experiment about too many rats in the box out of my mind ….US Govt. ( 1982 ) professor told us about that one as a way of illustrating the dangers of facism and Damn…if everything he said is comin true before my very eyes.

That video is unfortunate. I was waiting for video of Obama in church to pop up while sitting through statements that would be controversial…. but I forgot about his book. The most interesting part to me was where he read his book and was talking about Sharpville and Hiroshima and then it switches to Wright going on about Sharpsville and Hiroshima. Ouch… this is going to be painful if the 527s can ever get organized.

I think GOP cult deprograming might be in order…. and then follow with lessons in diversity….World religions….Women’s studies…FDR and the progressive movement…..Etc…we can bring you up to speed…But B-rob you’ll have to put down that pipe.

Folks, I hate seeing you trash Michelle Obama in this way. It’s sooo from the Republican Noise Machine play book. Do not do unto others as they do unto you. That’s a poor model for civilized behavior. Sorry to scold, but I flinch every time I see this. It soooooo dilutes our legitimate case that most Hillary Hatred is due to misogyny.

Black Exceptionalism

Been there and done it Catriley. Sheesh!

Obama wasn’t at the MLK memorial because King represented the other side of the Black Civil rights movement. Obama is with the Black Panther > New Black Panther or Black Power movement.

There was a major split in the civil rights movement just before King was assassinated.

Anyway that’s my theory.

But in reality Obama will follow the money and the power because Obama grew up in Hawaii — far far away from the civil rights movement. He probably wasn’t aware of the civil rights movement when he was in Hawaii. Because race really isn’t a big issue. Class (and wealth) is more of an issue — but not THAT much. We all go to the beaches.

I expect that the first time he was aware of the civil rights movement and how he could USE race (race card) was when HE was in college.

Mimi is correct in her assessment about the influence of Hawaii on Obama.

Also, Uppity wrote about Obama’s grandmother — and at one point she mentions the Grandfather who came up with the story about not driving grandma to work. Grandma was concerned about a “black” begger. This is grandpa’s story.

WHERE did Obama learn to lie so skillfully? He slips into the lying mode so easily — and just tells bigger whoppers to cover up his last lie. Not to be disrespectful of the dead — but did he learn to tell convincing lies from his grandfather? And was the grandfather’s reason for not driving grandmom to work a LIE? Grand dad used the race card — so as not to be the lazy jerk in not driving his wife to work.

WHERE did Obama learn to lie so skillfully? He’s been doing this for a long time — the lying. He thinks he’s skillful because he went on National TV and lied about not hearing Rev. Wright’s hate speech.

So NOW Obama is going to try a few more lies — starting with claiming to have been telling the truth about the “bitter” small town yokels.

Obama lies so much that I don’t know when he is telling the truth.

Hit nail on head!

Help! I’m a small blogger in Virginia who staunchly supports Hillary and I tried to post the video from YouTube but could not.

I have an account. I’ve done it before. But once I clicked share–nothing.

Any thoughts, just leave a post. No link to my blog ’cause I don’t want anyone to think I’m just looking for traffic.

Thanks.

The use of the word ‘dominated’ here is a Freudian slip. And it’s very telling.

Already I’m getting comments claiming she’s a Clinton supporter too. This buys into the idea Clinton is the root of all Obama’s problems. But unfortunately, she isn’t a Clinton supporter. I say unfortunate not because she should be, but because it undermines the comments of the projecting folks who are so secure in their omniscience about people’s motives.

This was an ordinary caller.

I watch Washington Journal every morning and have years and years of footage of average callers. But this woman leaped out of the ordinary because the Politico writer and the host were softballing the conversation.

CSPAN hosts are normally extraordinarily neutral (something to not only admire but to model) but this guy wasn’t doing that this morning. He kept the conversation focused on “bitter” instead of the rest of the comments.

They can’t quit that, without calling them “racists” what else do they have?

The CIA has long had the ability to do personality assessments of foreign leaders and political personalities.

I’ve read the personality profile done of JFK by the Psychologists who taught the CIA — years ago.

So it is no big deal to do a personality profile of Obama –

And she claims not to be committed to a candidate?

How long will she be allowed to get away with LYING for Obama?

Well most white women I know don’t like him either, so it’s a wash. Except they all vote.

Psycho Pastor.

I hear you!

I was a delegate for Jessie Jackson.

Try dominating us at your own peril.

That’s just part of the despicable personna of this empty suit and his sycophants.

He will not be president. He might not be nominated either. I repeat: time is not barack obama’s friend.

You show your ignorance about both the south and the DNC, maybe you have been in our elitist colony too long. First of all if you are a democrat is the south, you made a conscious decision not to be the a racist, look at the number of democrats that changed to republican in the 1960 after the Voting Right Act was passed. Those that changed parties in reaction to LBJ forcing the VRA through Congress did so because they did not support this legislation those that stayed did so because they believed in equal rights and the right for everyone to vote. As a southern, I am so sick of people assuming all southerners are racists. Get over yourself and find another place to spew your divisive language. You only reinforce Barry’s point.

R-Bob a Repub? Riiiight. But if he is, he’s more of a Clinton hater than a Barry supporter…still upset they kicked his red ass up and down the block.

Or maybe he just likes puppet presidents controlled by big money.

Well said. Follow the money.

Exactly right.

“Why are you not connecting with voters in rural PA?”

Instead of answering the question, he gave them a demonstration.

*****A

Hear her say BO was an accessory? Sensed a little hostility in that statement.

Maybe he hogs the mirror. Or maybe she just thinks he’s a twit.

He is not perfect,

He’s not even adequate! Where I come from he would be shown to the lobby for being a blowhard who talks a lot and does nothing. Not to mention the mountains of sexual harrassment suits that would be heaped upon him before he got his ass kicked out the door.

Look Ritamary, B-Rob doesn’t give a shit if you like Obama. VOTE FOR HIM. He doesn’t care if you support him, VOTE FOR HIM. He doesn’t care if you believe him. VOTE FOR HIM. He doesn’t care if Randi Rhodes called these two women “fucking whores”, VOTE FOR HIM. He doesn’t care if your rhyme and reason have lead you to an entirely different conclusion, VOTE FOR HIM.

What part of VOTE FOR HIM hasn’t been crammed down your throat yet!

Why do so many of you people refuse to do what B-Rob browbeats you into? What part of Obama is B-Rob’s only option don’t you accept?

Do you not realize how vastly superior in intellect B-Rob is to you? What is your malfunction?

Oh, and big money organizing the Obama Youth to bully wins in caucus states qualifies him to be president?

Penn was working on his own and Bill’s not running this time, in case you haven’t heard.

But if we’re playing that game, I guess BO totally agrees with Wright, right?

Basically, Obama said he despises a group of people who don’t vote for him. This is not going to help him win them over. So yeah, it’s a another reason he should not be the candidate.

Also, why was Obama equating both religion and racism as things that disturbed — bitter — people cling to?

this was not a gaffe at all.

Obama is making a very popular and deeply explored point about the American Working Class. I’m not sure why the MSM has not interviewed the author of “What’s the Matter With Kansas” and “Deer Hunting with Jesus”.

It is much more acceptable to shamelessly pander by drinking shots and duck hunting.

This uproar is really about anti-intellectualism.

Mimi you ROCK!

You absolutely ROCK!!!

I’d say we were twins separated at birth but for the fact my ass is whiter than sugar!!

Wishing this controversy away will not work. “A national dialogue” re race will not work either. Living “the message of equality” is the only thing that works, and many of us out here do just that.

I fortunately have a very large and diverse network of family and friends. We are an extremely “colorful” band! We are all quite amazed at race becoming a renewed topic of division, it never enters into our lives.

We are everyone. We know nothing of xenophobia other than the definition and the fact that a lot of folks like to throw it out there to explain the fact that other folks simply do not like them, when the truth may be that they are just plainly unlikeable.

Regarding the older ones of us, there was a time in the 60s and 70s that we were aware of inequities and literally were activists in trying to bring about equality.

However, besides “working toward it”, we also unequivocally lived it. That is the only resolution!

If you see it as a problem in your life, or society in general, then by all means do something about. As I stated earlier, do not talk about equality and harmony, simply live it!

By the way I have owned guns most all of my life and The Bible has always been involved in my life, through every phase of economic ups and downs, throughout personal financial wins and losses. I have never had to “cling” to either. I “cling” to my beliefs and those I love.

The only true bitterness I feel is directed toward the DNC, various aspects of the media, and the fact that I periodically have to clean all of these guns, whether I fire them or not.
