So, you hide your fear with arrogance?

Oh Man. Is this guy a Narcissist or what?

I am completely creeped out by that report.

Obama has been conspicuously absent from the public discourse over the past days – declined KO on MSNBC, Larry King on CNN, shot down the NC debate…

Appears he has graduated to the next stage of a cult leader – no dialogue. When he needs to speak, he’ll address his base directly… the rest (of us) can be ignored and intimidated.

Apparently, when you’re the Chosen One you do not take questions from those of a lesser status. They’re supposed to bow down and faint with pleasure just to be blessed with your presence.

Now THAT’s a scary thought.

I listened to the DR show last friday, and my jaw dropped. Usually she has pretty goo control of herelf but she lost it on that show and most of the reporters were slanted a little. If Terry Gross goes under I know Tap dancin Jesus is gonna be at Denver…..

On the Southside of Chicago we would say that he “punked out.” Or he a scary punk, or he’s a punk ass, etc.

Just like bush.

He should be afraid. Wait til the people of Pennsylvania vote, and he loses big time. In fact, why does everyone insist that she has to win big. He is supposed to be the “big man on campus”. Shouldn’t he be the one pulling down all the big states. Hillary’s supporters should be pointing this out to the media on a constant basis. After all the money this man has spent in Pennsylvania, you would think that HE should be winning by 20. I hope you all saw Hillary and company on C-Span. Her rally was absolutely fri#$@N fantastic.

Tell me, what did he do for the citizens on the South side? He likes to brag about his work there, but from what I have read he did little. Do you, or have you recently lived there? I’d love to know the truth from a resident.

when watching ther cspan and KO interview of Hillary, two things appear, especially after today when oil hits $120.barrel, these message is clear, it is time for someone to actaully work and get things done, and for Hill to be praised almost by KO for turning over the Pits paper and its owner today, proves more than words of hope and change and uniting ever will, because it is in action right now with Hillary!

If Obama is going to run away when trouble hits, WTF will he do when shit hits in the WH, run away then too?

Well his years knowing Ayers did teach Obama swomething at least, how to run away!

Well of course he’s not answering questions or going on talk shows. Everytime he opens his mouth he ruins the fantasy.

It’s a real bummer man, people are trying to get high off the hope dope. When people ask Obama questions, it brings them down, man.

In the past Obama whining as being the underdog worked for him, but that died before Ohio, but he is trying again with the SD’s to save face!

This Obama is just another George W. Bush. Who is he to determine whether or not a reporter has the right to ask a question?

TPM ELECTION CENTRAL

Clinton: We Will “Totally Obliterate” Iran If They Attack Israel

By Eric Kleefeld – April 21, 2008, 11:44PM

During an interview set to air tomorrow on Good Morning America, Hillary Clinton used some graphic and direct language to phrase the standard promise of protecting Israel in case of any attack by Iran or another country.

“I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we will attack Iran,” Clinton said. “In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them.”

I really do think he’s a sociopath. Here’s a list of characteristics–see how many fit the BO.
http://www.mcafee.cc/Bin/sb.html

Well Narcissists are considering sociopaths aren’t they? Personality disorders?

I am not schooled in any way on these things. Now if you want some software written, I might be able to help you. The only reason I know a lot about Narcissim is because a diagnosed Narcissist was married into my family and it was hell to pay. Horrible people. Just horrible.

Wow, he sounds an awful lot like George W. We can’t afford another Emporer with no clothes. Hillary is the only intelligent choice for President.

Well overall I would say they would take her seriously and start acting like human beings for a change instead of waking up every morning threatening to build nuclear arsenals.

Frankly I think George is too dumb to be a Narcissist. It takes some brains to always act superior. I just think he’s a dry drunk. I see him as a guy who, if he didn’t win the sperm lottery, would have been sucking wine from a box under the tracks.

Who knew Dave Chappelle wasn’t really the ‘Black Bush’?

Like I’ve said before Sinclair Lewis never indicated which side of the political spectrum that figure….

‘Wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross….’

was coming from.

The right or the….

Left.

I’m beginning to see that today, this moment, it could very well be whichever direction Senator ‘SnakeOil’ is coming from.

Depends on how you behave? Did he think he was talking to a child? More of Obama’s condescension only scarier.

As President what would be his response to those who question his actions? Thrown them in jail?

There is more than a fascist streak in this guy.

Interesting to say the least. Jews for Hillary should love that.
Why aren’t we worried about the fact that Pakistan already has nukes. And so does Israel.

He can only win the caucus states where voters are disenfranchised and he has a strong organization on the ground. Almost every time there’s a direct primary he loses. Exceptions are IL, his home state, or when black voters are a large percentage of the voting block.

Hillary has won a larger percentage of votes from the Democratic base. In fact the Dem base accounts for 75% of her votes. Obama only get 55% Dem votes (and you have to wonder what percentage of the 55% are black voters – maybe 1/3 or 1/2?). He’s pulling 45% (almost half) of his votes from Independents and Republicans (and probably a majority from red states that the Repug’s will win in the GE in Nov.) He can’t win the white , hispanic or asian vote.

Which makes the DNC position favoring Obama all the stranger. It’s really counter-intuitive to common sense.

why is it in Hills new ad having bin Ladin in it is a reality now why is it fear for, because bin Ladin is a terrorist, Obama not like terrorist reality??

One of the first things autocrats do is stop taking questions.

Putin just closed down the Russian newspaper who reported that he was having an affair.

I worked for one once. He told me his therapist had diagnosed him with narcissism. So I looked it up. It was very disturbing – there is almost no chance for treatment to work. They never get better, but all the people around them live hell-ish lives trying to deal with them.

Obama’s got to lose Penn. If he does, it’s Hillary’s momentum. The MSM will probably try to pretend otherwise, but that’s been their excuse so far. I love the drawing of Obama flipping the bird. When I was six years old, I had about three pairs of overalls like that. One had a race car on it. I think it really drives home the point that he’s too young and too inexperienced.

He’s entered the “who cares what you think!” mode…

Oh, you’re kidding. I heard something on the news today, but missed most of it. Something about him having an affair with a gymnast? He’s another arrogant one. Struts about.

It’s not helped by the adoration of his followers, who can’t see any of his failings. I tried listening to his rally tonight on C-Span. But that “YES WE CAN” chanting is such stupifying idolatry that it cannot be listened to.

Or He is a “WUNK”…Wanna be Punk..

I think those are two different disorders, although a person could exhibit characeristics of both.

A psychopath doesn’t have a conscience. Like GWB.

Narcissist are just in love with themselves. Obama, for sure.

Yeh…Would a President Obama make Professor William Ayers the Secretary of Health..Education and Welfare..??

What kind of Cabinet does Obama plan to have..Inquiring Minds want to Know…

This guy is unfit to be the nominee. He is not really taking the heat very well. Frankly, maybe he should spend some time IN a kitchen instead of avoiding it!

I think Barry looks sexy in that chartreuse overall. LMAO

Its wafflegate!!

Barry waffled like the food he was eating.

Refused to answer a very important foreign policy issue – a former president meeting with a terrorist organization and acting as a defacto secretary of state.

Obama should have condemned that idiot Carter and his meddling. It was a no brainer and a gimme politically.

The man is a intellectual coward and fool to boot. He blows off the press like they are obnoxious kids, not understanding if they turn on him, he’s toast in short order.

And yeah this does smack of cult leader behavior and I think its just a matter of time before he cracks up from the pressure.

Tonight’s Rally:

I just had the great misfortune of listening to his wife (Michelle) introduce Senator Casey. Let me see, she went on , yada yada, about how fortunate Casey and her husband were for marrying such brilliant women. I couldn’t believe it! She took the podium and mentioned how brilliant she is. Amazing. What an ass!

Waffle Gate..Yep..or “Swallow Gate”..or
“Snake Pit”..or a New version of “PHANTOM OF THE OPERA”..done to Gangster Rap Music..

Glen Beck just said everything bad about Jimmy one can say…Told him to retire in Florida and get is senior Citizen discounts or something..

The big clue is lack of empathy.

As far as I can tell — Obama is as lacking as bush is in the empathy department.

Labels are helpful — but I was taught to use other words and phrases to describe behavior.

There are a so many clues in his behavior — his lack of concern about tenets freezing in his benefactor’s buildings — this is just one tiny clue that he is really low on the empathy scale. Then the way he bad mouthed Ohioans and Pennsylvanians — lack of class and lack of empathy.

Obama has some serious problems — so much so that he doesn’t belong in the white house (and neither does his dam*ed wife). We’ve been watching the GOP’s version of a bat shit crazy who needs a shrink and not the top job in the Nation — we don’t need the DEM’s version of bat shit crazy.

But Narcissist really is a better descriptive way of talking about snObama.

douglas the dummy:

learn something about Islam. the Koran teaches that truces should only be made to give Muslims an advantage.

Carter is also stupid and thinks that Islam is like Christianity. It isn’t. It is a cult that drew its teachings from Judaism and Christianity.

Hamas will agree to a 10 year truce with Israel so it can build itself up with Iranian help to destroy Israel.

A cult is a cult whether it has 10 members or 10 billion members.

As for sabre rattling, Islamists have been using their swords for centuries. Unless you want them to succeed in taking over Europe and planting dirty bombs in America you had better hope that what you take to be diplomacy fails.

they bought his stuff,then took the baggy home and found it only had oregano.

And while we are linking to newspaper articles, read this:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/21/AR2008042103143.html?hpid=artslot

SPERM LOTTERY?!…Excuse me…I think I need a Botox shot to relax the “Whoa, I’m actually shocked.” forehead furrows. Good one, Uppity! I thought I was too tired and jaded after eight years of Dubya’s conservastive fantasy fun fuckapalooza to actualy be surprised.

oblowme would try to schedule a meeting to brainstorm and think out of the box to find a win/win solution or whatever the bs buzzwords are now.

then he would try to schedule a meeting with whoever’s left in israel to brainstorm……

what are the odds the questioner was female?

Damn, ignore the typos…laughing too hard because of Uppity.

so you’d let just whoever wants to run around the world and negotiate with whomever they want, regardless of national policy or positions or common sense?

with that logic, bush will be doing it in a couple of years. ooh, that should be interesting.

I worked for a woman attorney who was one and she was truly horrific. If she passed a mirror, she had to stare into it and primp herself. She placed a little crown on her monitor and everyone called her “The Queen”. She would give us money to buy presents for ourselves on special days and then would tell us all to go to two stores and come back to tell her exactly what we bought. It was very disturbing. Everyone was afraid of her.

George ruins everything he touches. He can do nothing right.

I’m sure whoever will be on his cabinet (if and a big IF ) will have to be knighted by Michelle. That is directly after her coronation.

He’s very cold and I think that is what is truly creepy about him. He speaks of such high ideals and then he slithers in smugly with that arrogant aura about him. It is so thick you could cut it with a knife. I simply don’t understand why his starstruck fans can’t see it. Are they blind? It is very apparent.

Uppity – too funny.

Narcissm is just one of the Uhmmm “charming” traits of a sociopath. There is also pathological/serial lying, vengeful… just read Mary Jo’s list above.

Sociopaths are not very lovable creatures.

With Bush’s standing in the middle east…i’m sure it would.

Clearly the Syrians and Hamas (The democratically elected, then undermined government of Palestine i might add) are interested in talks and hopefully, eventually, peace. Telling them they’re evil doers and they can go and get stuffed isn’t going to stop rockets being fired into Israeli settlements and gunships from pummeling Palestinian shanty towns.

Maybe it’s going to take a third party with some standing and capital in the region to make some ground? Who knows.

God knows Condi and George haven’t made any.

Ted Bundy comes to Mind..Nellie..

Is that a male or a female gymnast?

You got it right. The reporter was female.

thanks for the info.

not surprised he’d tell a female he’d answer her depending on how well behaved she was. he certainly has an enlightened attitude toward women. /sarc.

Thanks for that little trip down Memory Lane!

>>> Something about him having an affair with a gymnast?

She broke it off.

Ack. You mean somebody dates Putin??

Why does he always wear a black suit? That’s very disconcerting. You never see him in anything else.

Yes and it was a foreign waffle!

uh oh

Waffles, anyone?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTiJ9gA47LA

you’re welcome.

a lot of trips down memory lane this year. the only thing obama’s done for anyone. at least the trips are fun. and less psychedelic than the real ones.

Apparently, he was on Stewart via satellite. I couldn’t watch.

Blah. Blah. Blah. HOPE. Blah. Blah. CHANGE. Blah. Blah. Blah.

Blah.

“I am of two minds…”

He’s disrespectful. It’s really quite stunning.

Not to themselves.

I think it was totally appropriate.

No one talks much about Bin Laden until he releases a tape. Within the context of the tape, I thought he damn well should be there. Everyone ignores the dangers we don’t know about. At least he’s the devil we DO know.

At the price of gas in Russia? There are lots of ways to interpret “in the tank for …”

Maybe the Gallup results are making him cranky.

Carter was/is poised to endorse.

Barry is morally incapable of seeing “good” versus “bad.” He is attracted to people who like him and do things for him. The fact that he is questioned about these relationships makes him very angry. I don’t know how much of this is due to psychological scars of having been deserted by his father and mother — left with grand parents — but I fear he is too damaged fundamentally to have any abaility to see the good/evil issue clearly.

JMHO

Carter has been leaning towards supporting Obama I believe Obama might have instigated the Carter overtures to Hammas on the understanding that if there was a BIG breakthrough he would claim credit for it (as he does with everybody elses work).Given the timeline of the Carter/Obama meeting and the trip by Carter, I think there might be some truth to this.
HOWEVER, he had better read up on the LOGAN ACT.

“The Logan Act (18 U.S.C. § 953), which makes it a felony for any American, “…without authority of the United States,” to communicate with a foreign government in an effort to influence that government’s behavior on any “…disputes or controversies with the United States.” A citizen found guilty of this law could be imprisoned for up to three years.

But again, it would just show his naivety of Obama, in his lust for power and favorable ratings.

If there is a connection, Carter’s endorsement is worth about as much as a nearly minted penny. And Unca Karl would relist putting them in every ad together just to drive home a point. I know what I would draw from it. But hey, I’m an undereducated bitter typical white “hey honey” bible clinging no gun loving 55+ livelong Democrat who has never missed an election. What the hell do I know?

I thought it was hilarious that both Barack stiffed Olberman after all the campaigning Keith has done for him. They even said no one on the campaign had time to go on the show!
Guess the loyalty doesn’t run both ways.

Secretary of Defense since he has all that experience with bombs.

That cartoon illustration is scary.

He looks like a woman in mama’s boy clothing.

Creepy.

Well, at least she gave you money.

I have a friend who’s a Narcissist and she gives you her garbage. Of course, she doesn’t see it as garbage, but well-used treasures that she’s no longer interested in.

Threats don’t work with Iran, period.

If you push, they push back, harder, Cheney and Iran are like some weak brother whining at a bully, and Iran in this case is the bully with the upper hand.

To threaten them overtly is to feed them, is to increase Iranian hegemony, especially given their proximity to Russia, China and Iraq.

It all works together, and Cheney’s people are too stupid to understand.

But with Al Bundy’s attitude towards women.

Why aren’t we worried about the fact that Pakistan already has nukes.

I think there is at least some modicum of control, there.

There are numerous factors that go into manipulating behavior, just because someone has rudimentary technology doesn’t mean they’re smart enough to use it, successfully.

Cheney and his group have access to the best technology the world has to offer, and they lost, flat out lost, because they are STUPID, just like Obama.

That’s what happens when you don’t vet the candidate, when you vote image, you get men as stupid as Cheney and the neocons, men who LOSE wars.

This is why it matters, and this is why it’s so important Americans see through the Madison Ave, Wall Street mediocrity, the Astroturf, because an inferior stupid candidate loses wars, the IMAGE of intellectual proficiency isn’t enough.

Period.

I mean, I think Cheney’s crew is so stupid, and so corrupt, ANYONE can troll them.

BTW, the same way the US essentially lost a greater asymmetrical war, in seven years under the republicans, due, in part to moves made by Russia, and China, Israel has also been affected the same way, in terms of internal decline, militarily, economically and politically.

But the US, fortunately, due to it’s democratic structure, has a big net, we the people see the incompetency of Cheney, of Axlerod, and we’re fighting to change it, electing and enabling smarter leaders.

Without that change, Iran, or Russia, wouldn’t have to fire a shot, we’d “stupid” ourselves to destruction, through the Cheneys, Bolton’s, and other Republicans, through the Rove’s, Obama’s and Axelrod’s and other “elitist” democrats, through stupid, unpatriotic business and military men.

The same holds true for Israel and it’s neocon government, and IMO it’s a deliberate strategy, gaming them asymmetrically to their decline, capitalizing on morons like McPeak, or Cheney, even if it takes fifty years.

Part of that is engaging your enemy militarily, and then draining them of all resources, manipulating the war culture. Neocons can’t grasp this abstract, simply are not prepared to understand or fight modern day warfare.

Period.

So Iran can win, no nukes needed, no BOMBS needed.

Clinton gets it, she’s smarter than the Iranians, Obama is not.

DR is a huge disappointment (I have stopped listening because of her panel which is the same set of people that are on other media), but so are many others. I think I gave too much credit to these people, credit they did not deserve.

Oh my god. As I suspected. A facist preoccupied with his waffle…what a child, or goon.

An example, and this is very very general, say China is selling arms to Iran.

The first thing the US needs to do is weed out it’s own corruption, in the Pentagon and State.

Once it can again leverage power in the form of greater economic political and military leadership, it can, say, flex some muscle and interfere with oil delivery to China’s economy.

Just off the top of my head, China is wholly invested in oil, now, any drop would affect all factors of it’s infrastructure, greatly. At this point, though, China DOES own most of our economy, due to sto0py headed neocon policies, and this has to be leveraged, also.

So, you want a smart person in the presidency, not a wall street tool, a tool of American men even DUMBER than the candidate, which is what we have in Obama.

And this takes years to straighten out.

The greening of our economy, US intellectual innovation is our greatest asset.

No one comes close.

I read at TalkLeft that the reason his not answering this question and acting all put out because someone asked a question at all while he was eating, is because HE HAS NOT ANSWERED ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL FOR 10 DAYS. That’s right, all those reporteres following him around, riding on his bus, have not gotten even one question answered for almost two weeksw. He is hiding from them. He is terrified.

Clearly the Syrians and Hamas

They’re like Bush and Cheney, Obama, they will never be interested in peace, and they will only comply to the extent they incur a moral hazard.

Until a real leader emerges, it’s important not to see them through Western, idealistic eyes.

BUT, that doesnt mean WAR has to be waged, continually.

They will comply when the risk/loss ratio becomes to great.

The other factor to consider is where Russia and China are, in regard to their attempts to game the US.

It’s all connected.

Well, here is more article on the waffle incident. Look at the picture and you decide for yourself if Obama is dissing the reporter… I don’t normally hold down a paper I am signing in that way.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2008/04/22/2008-04-22_barack_obama_just_wants_to_eat_his_waffl-3.html

barry is a wanna be punk. i laugh at the thought of barry meeting some “real” tough guys. tough barry isn’t. petty, mean spirited, weak? yeah, all that!

on the street barry wouldn’t be too successful. i think that barry’s time as a street organizer was spent inside warm offices and not with “poor” people. but that’s me!

the only calls barry is taking or making these days are to brazile and dean yelling and screaming about getting him out of anymore debates and closing this sucker down. michelle let it be known to barry to stfu also.

the question in my mind is why do americans keep voting for sociopaths and why does the so called media lick their boots.

rev wrong would be so proud of barry putting a mere woman in her place. if he said that to me i’d tell barry to choke on his waffle and then give my own interview with reporters on what a dufus ole barry is. but that’s me!

“Which makes the DNC position favoring Obama all the stranger. It’s really counter-intuitive to common sense.”

It’s called checkmate. Because of race concerns, the DNC’s best option is to lose another election Dukakis-style. They totally screwed up on MI and FL, and there’s no way to fix it.

Extending their 40-year losing streak is the DNC’s best option — that really is pathetic.

putin is arrogant and rigid, but he is smarter than bush. he is also more of a world player who understands how things work which is something about which barry doesn’t have a clue. all barry has is 20 years mentoring from rev wrong. that should scare any american.

beck is a total idiot and fool. occasionally he says something worthwhile however it isn’t worth the wait. carter? well he is brave enough to put himself out there and try. good idea? i don’t know. maybe time will tell. remember pelosi went to syria, and the necons whined about that also.

i always thought we should seek reapproachment with syria. assad is not that strong and i think he sees this as a plus if we do. i think it might take a mccain to do this sorta like nixon going to china. now there is a novel idea since the dims are insuring a mccain presidency with their dufus behavior.

carter’s endoresement might hurt barry. jimmy’s isn’t too popular in the press right now.

carter’s endoresement might hurt barry. jimmy’s isn’t too popular in the press right now.

that was a supporter and not a reporter. false representation!

Heh.

My favorite bumper sticker of the 80′s:

“I Will Buckle Up When Ted Bundy Does!”

Where is that awesome cartoon from? Can we get it bigger?

How soon after taking office can one be impeached???

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

LMAO!!!!!!

Iran leader mocks 9/11… That really pisses people off.

Oh I have a cousin like that too. Yeah like you really want her leftovers. She thinks she’s bestowing great honours upon you by doing that I guess. It is so insulting.

http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2008/04/22/should-clinton-quit-if-she-doesn%e2%80%99t-win-pa-by-at-least-10-points/

pls fix this cafferty guy on CNN

HE IS ALWAYS PLAYING SEXISM CARD TO HILLARY

i hate him ,,

why he is so biased ,,,,,

I have no idea if it is true or not but I read earlier that Obummer does not plan to be in PA tonight. I hear he is going to leave PA before the returns are in. Anybody want to take any bets about whether or not he can do a concession speech? My personal opinion is that he is somewhere in a Spider Hole even as we speak.

Think he’s headed to the fancy new bunker in Rev. Wrights’ fancy new house in that bitter cracker neighborhood…

Well after recent hesitation, I return to my earlier verdict….Jimmy Carter is a senile old fart….

Didn’t Malcom X always wear a black suit….Just curious…hmmmm

I thought Putin was kinda a pedophile….Isn’t that one of the things that russian ex-spy that was murdered in London say….

Yeah…not all socio-paths are malevolent…many are CEO’s etc… there is no cure or treatment for the dis-order and the psychiatric profession considers narcissits to be he MOST damaging to children as parents…Peck’s book PEOPLE OF THE LIE spells it out pretty clearly..

agree. will make it even harder for him to pretend he’s not in the tank for hamas.

and michael moore’s recent endorsement will hurt oblowme too.

good!

jimmy has never been a favorite of the press. he can’t get good coverage when he wins a nobel prize.

Narcissists view others as valuable only in relation to themselves. They are unable to assign individuality to others outside of how they relate to themselves. They are often socially clumsy and clueless as to how they affect others. The individual personalities of others genuinely baffles them.

I noticed that too, that was GREAT! Screw you, Black State of the Union, screw you Martin Luther King, Jr., screw you Keith Obamaman…I don’t need you anymore!
