Boo Hoo Obama: Gives Up on Kentucky

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.usObama’s Behaviors? He Indulges In More Attacks on “Bitter” Working Class Voters

He’s the Loser Ready to Proclaim Victory While Losing Again

SEE: “Obama blames Fox News, e-mail for likely loss in Kentucky,” McClatchy Washington Bureau

Barack Obama has retreated from Kentucky, conceding the Bluegrass State to Hillary, blaming Kentucky voters, just like he riled his cheerleading pundits to blame the voters of West Virginia after he was trounced there. Whenever voters actually prefer Hillary for solid reasons–better on the issues like universal health care, the economy, foreclosures, foreign policy–and knows what she’s doing–Obama plays the race baiting card. Once again, Obama plays victim, even before the vote.

Is the Democratic establishment blind to Obama’s glaring weakness? Does it worry the establishment that Obama can’t win the working and middle class? That Obama loses the critical states that a Democrat needs to win and that Hillary wins them?

Now, in advance of election day in Kentucky, Obama smears the entire people there, accusing all of them of being swayed by “rumors” from Fox News and nasty emails. Apparently, according to Obama, everyone in Kentucky is a bigot, easily manipulated by the slightest twitch of right-wing media. He must be projecting the distortions, lies and innuendo that pour from his jocksniffing worshippers at MCNBC and their addling effect on the most mindless of his childish idolators.

If Obama loses, we are told, the voters must be “bitter,” stupid, uneducated, dumb tools, bigots, racists, fools, clowns, bitter, angry, deluded, pathetic, hateful, and worthless morons.

Here’s Obama’s big alibi for his inability to persuade Kentucky voters of his divinity:

“When we’re able to campaign in a place like Iowa for several months and I can visit and talk to people individually, I do very well. That’s harder to do at this stage in the campaign,” Obama said in a brief telephone interview Friday. “And once we get past the primary, we’ll be able to focus more on those states where we need to make sure people know my track record.”

See, all the voters of Kentucky are rubes, hicks, dopes, and racist bigots. You don’t believe that? Listen to Obama:

“Part of it is because there have been these e-mails that have been sent out very systematically, presumably by various political opponents, although I don’t know who,” he said. “And there are a lot of voters who get their news from Fox News. Fox has been pumping up rumors about my religious beliefs or my patriotism or what have you since the beginning of the campaign.”

So, Democrats, Obama is writing off Kentucky, just like he’s written off West Virginia. He’s writing off state after state. He confesses he can’t win them. He’s going to places where “people know my track record.” Now he’s running on his non-existent experience? Isn’t this what he’s attacked Hillary for, actually having experience and knowing how to accomplish things for people?

Obama’s problem is that “those states” he going to, having rejected key states where Democrats need to compete, and condemned and tainted their people, is that the voters of “those states” have also voted on him–and he lost.

He lost every big state but his own–and he is behind in Ohio and Florida. which Hillary wins–and faltering far behind her in critical Pennsylvania.

    Obama says that he’s not afraid to talk to America’s enemies, yet he’s terrified of an old lady and disdainful of American voters.

    Can you imagine what will happen when shit goes down with North Korea, Russia, or China. Where is this guy going to hide? I suggest under Michelle’s skirt.

    Fellow Americans, you’re about to make the biggest fuck up of your history. This is not the time for “change”, this is the time for smart solutions.

    If he can talk to people on an individual basis, why has he stopped having Town Hall Meetings?

    He has stopped debating, he doesn’t talk to the press, sweetie, he no longer does Town Hall meetings, he won’t go to certain states…Is this man going to show up for the general election?

  • http://truthteller2007.mydd.com/ Truthteller

    Too bad Kentucky abuts Illinois. And too bad Kentucky voters had the opportunity to view commercials Obama aired in the Evansville, Louisville and Cincinnati media markets during the Indiana and Ohio primaries. He also purchased ads to air nationally before Super Tuesday. Moreover, Obama cited the 21 debates he had with Clinton when he chose not to debate her in North Carolina, as he believes everyone in the US already understands their records. If the voters of Kentucky do not know him by now, they will never know him, I guess. But here I am attempting to take Obama at his word.

    Is it too much to ask Obama to be consistent?

    • kenoshaMarge

      If Obama had any consistency there would be no need for W.O.R.M. Now that he’s screwed up again by claiming that Arkansas is closer to Kentucky that Illinois some pointy-headed little pundit will have to speak up and tell us what he “really” meant by what he said.

      Good lord, if this motor-mouthed pinhead ends up in the White House, unlikely IMHO, we’ll be subjected to more mindless “isms” from an American C in C. How embarrassing!

        Uh, but the good thing is…uh, that it takes him, uh, so long, to uh, tell us his, uh, pearls of wisdom, that, uh most uh people uh, are not still, uh awake, to hear the point at the end.

  • alibe4-Hillary

    Saw this in NY Times this morning. And they think Obama is a liberal. This is about his book “Dreams….” and where he wrote it.
    “Mr. Obama was given an office to write in at the University of Chicago through a surprising connection. Douglas G. Baird, a professor who was head of the law school’s appointments committee, had learned of Mr. Obama from Michael W. McConnell, a conservative constitutional scholar then at Chicago whom President Bush would later make a federal judge.

    Professor McConnell encountered Mr. Obama during the editing of an article he wrote for The Harvard Law Review, Professor Baird said recently. “He sent a note saying this person is really brilliant, we should have him on our radar screen,” Professor Baird said. Professor Baird called Mr. Obama at Harvard and asked if he was interested in teaching.

    “I don’t remember his exact words, but it was something to the effect that, ‘Well, in fact, I want to write this book.’ What he really wanted was the Virginia Woolf equivalent of a clean, well lighted room.” So Professor Baird got him one, a small office near the law library, along with a law school fellowship that Professor Baird hoped might later lead to his full-time teaching.

    By the time Mr. Obama landed at Times Books, he had a partial manuscript. He required minimal editing, said Henry Ferris, his editor, who is now a vice president and executive editor at William Morrow. He simply needed guidance in paring and shaping the sections already written and keeping the rest from becoming too long. The writing, Mr. Ferris said, “is very much his own.”

    • alibe4-Hillary

      I don’t know why anybody would call Obama a Manchurian candidate? How many liberals have such a devoted conservative following? Everday I get offers from conservative Professors to funnel money to me so my liberal thinking would get a wider audience. And I always run into conservatives who think I am brilliant. Don’t you?

  • Ellen Tenn

    What the hell is Obama going to do if he becomes President. You can’t keep hiding when things get tough. Hillary Clinton is the only one who can lead our country in the positive direction that we need.

    • Betty

      No he won’t hide, he may be a coward now but then he will have balls of brass, he will be the biggest f****** bully the world has ever known.

      Even bigger then GW. I will always remember how he slunk out of Nevada when he started to lose, I knew then that he knew just exactly what his campaign was up to.

      It will be get even time, and as Juanita on Stop-Obama said so well a while ago: When those pasty faced white wannabes show up in the HOOD thinking “solidarity, bro” they’ll get the shit beat out of them just for the fun of it.

  • OldCoastie

    I still can’t find anything in BO’s resume that says, “Presidential!”

    GWB’s resume looked meaty compared to BO’s… scary, isn’t it?

      yeah, usually they wait to write two books until AFTER they are out of the White House … makes more money. Not the brightest bulb in the pack … ;)

  • http://deleted AnninCA

    Buchanan pointed out that the test of the Edwards endorsement would be Kentucky. He got shouted down so that his point wouldn’t land.

    Other pro-Obama commentators have even asked why he hasn’t used the time to try to woo these voters.

    I presume it’s to flick off her wins as insignificant since he really conceded the state.

    But I also do believe his campaign knows that he will NOT win over these voters, ever.

    He’s going after other groups: Jewish Dems and I suppose Latinos.

    • Jeremiah “God Damn America!” Wright

      LOL.

      History

      Obama vs Hillary for the Latino Vote…Hillary Wins

      Obama vs Hillary for the Jewish vote…Hillary wins

      History will Repeat itself

      Obama vs McCain for the Latino Vote….McCain Wins

      Obama vs McCain for the Jewish vote…McCain wins

      Obama better start legislation in the Senate to acquire 10 more states to the union because he is going to need his “57 states with one to go except Hawaii and Alaska cause they are too small” strategy.

      • http://deleted AnninCA

        I think the Dems are in for a shock. I think they really believe they have the other groups locked up.

        I cannot figure out why they think that, since the SW went Republican.

        I can understand why they think that with Jewish Dems, but his background is pretty hideous. He’s reassuring them like mad, but I wonder if it’ll take.

        • eurogirl70

          It is certainly not taking with the likes of Harvey Weinstein out in Hollywood. I think that alot of big Hollywood Jewish money is about to dry up for the DNC!!

          • Tom Plumb

            Good.

            He stood up to Pelosi on behalf of Clinton, he appears to get it, I was glad to see it.

    • jackie

      I think people see the Edwards endorsement for what is was. It was to step over Hillary’s news cycle and change the subject that Obama lost WV in a LANDSLIDE.

      Because Edwards was on Larry King Live, only a week ago, and said he wasn’t going to endorse anybody. The whole thing makes Edward look bad and Obama look desperate.

  • Talktruth

    “Part of it is because there have been these e-mails that have been sent out very systematically, presumably by various political opponents, although I don’t know who,” he said.

    And I, Barack Hussein Barama, am not insinuating that it’s, oh, anyone related to Senator Clinton. BECAUSE IT’S ALL HER FAULT!!! Oops, that just slipped out. HOPE AND CHANGE FOR EVERYONE!!!

    • karen for Clinton

      yeah the old blame hillary bit is the boy who cried wolf. as if there aren’t dozens of other demographics who he has pissed off.

      the garlic-noses asked wright for an apology, he didn’t bother to answer the anti-defamation league or the order of the sons of italy either.

      There goes NYC.

    • Who does she think she is, Annie Oakley?

      That’s the truth. It’s always one degree removed from slime. In Oregon his proxy was Gen. McPeak. Obama stood there with his nose in the air and his arms folded across his chest while McPeak compared Clinton to Joe McCarthy. He wasn’t actually flinging the shit, he was just an innocent bystander for hope, change and the new politics.

  • Isolde

    Sen Obama suggests that voters must be worthy to vote for him. Any activity or behavior that he does not want to deal with is due to racism or ignorance. Debates, town hall meetings, campaigning in a state that does not have him overwhelmingly winning is not worthy or his time nor thoughts.

    Some personalities love to pursue the “hard to get” persona such as the media and the leadership of the Dem party. This behavior by Sen Obama makes him “exclusive” or special to those included in his orbit. Most people do not respond to this type of behavior and are easily turned off by the passive aggressive nature of the Obama campaign. Politicians court voters. Voters do not have to asked to be accepted by leaders unless it is a dictatorship.

    • Talktruth

      Sounds very high-schooly. Or junior high-schooly. No offense meant to either one, but this phenomenon is rampant there.

    • http://deleted AnninCA

      Yes, that is his attitude. One thing I do get now. I kept wondering why everyone was so angry over Hillary’s stance when she was the front-runner.

      They called it “entitlement.”

      Now that he’s acting entitled, it IS annoying. :)

      Win the battle but lose the war?

      I’m glad she got rid of Penn. A lot of his strategies hurt her.

      • Tom Plumb

        I agree, Penn’s methods sort of like salad dressing to enhance the flavor of lettuce.

        And I do think her campaign is better, more defined in that it has a sense of purpose, now, she can be what John Edwards wanted to be, but it’s not as if this wasn’t stacked against her from the start, which she may have known, given the war chest she built.

        Kerry choosing Obama to speak at the 2004 convention, (and there was a stink about this, too remember, the male democrats like Kerry, Kennedy, that whole crew, excluded women from the keynote addresses, until it was pointed out, after a protest was staged) was the tip off.

        In retrospect, they had planned on Obama all along, but like the true doofuses they are, Dean and co screwed it up, from choosing that POS to trying to sell him.

        Microwave Rove, excellent idea, no wonder they never distinguished themselves.

        Trying to sell a POS as a jewel, not understanding the greater mechanics at work, and every time they face a threat, well, they just bury themselves in their media tools, oh, today let’s blame KY and behave as if this has been decided…

        Go bama!

        They betrayed the American people, their fellow citizens, just as badly as the republicans.

        Which again brings me to the question, is Kerry implicated in the IL combine type business, too?

        What about Dean?

        How far back does this go?

    • Susaninbosque

      You make a wonderful point but…

      Sorry, couldn’t help: “unless it’s a dictatorship.”

      Well, kind of a “duh” for me cause that’s the only way I think he sees the political process and always has…. kind of a “rig it for me” approach that is very common place in Chicago and I have no doubt that Fitzgerald (who like Hillary is not a quitter) will out them all and put the right ones in jail – it’s just gotta be done before Obama can pardon all of them. So, there’s the rush, aha…….

      Lots of money behind getting those pardons done but we still only hold elections in Nov.

    • Isolde

      Truthteller, there are elements of the middle school herd behavior in every group or organization. But it usually discouraged and rooted out if gets out of control. This is coming from the top.

      An in Ca, the press pushed the entitlement angle when the early polls showed Sen Clinton so far ahead. I don’t remember she or her campaign acting in that way. I think Sen Obama has acted in this entitled manner since childhood. It’s as if he was only told how smart he is which is not good for anyone.

      Susaninbosque, I have wondered why he went to Chicago. I know he got a job there in college or something and was looking for his identity. But why Chicago? Atlanta, New Orleans or other cities could have done the same. I think he likes how things are done in Chicago and he fit in immediately. They call it clout there. Who you know and pay to play. There is a reason we have never had a President from Chicago and I worry that the Dems are going to find out why fairly soon.

      • mahaska

        Reason there are no presidents from Chicago is that Chicago pols get indicted for various things before they can run. Works for me.

        • Tom Plumb

          Works for me, too.

          I wish Obama were next up, this week…

  • pm317

    Obama said in a brief telephone interview Friday. “And once we get past the primary, we’ll be able to focus more on those states where we need to make sure people know my track record.”

    So he wanted us to nominate him on day one. What a joke! Maybe if he thought he could not convince the voters in the primary season because they don’t have time to know him, he should have waited a few more years doing things on the national scene so people knew him — well, we know where that strategy would have led him. The more I hear about him, the more I loathe him. Yes, you heard me right, I LOATHE him. I don’t want to win with just any democrat this November, I want to win with the RIGHT candidate and we HAVE a right candidate who is being denied her rightful place. This loathsome creature of a candidate is not a replacement for her by any stretch of the imagination.

    • Talktruth

      What came to mind when I read your post: the word “anathema”:

      One that is greatly reviled, loathed, or shunned

      [Late Latin anathema, doomed offering, accursed thing].

      One thing we can do for Hillary today – buy this weekend’s USA Today. It has a great full-page ad talking about why she has our full support!

    • jwrjr

      Barky’s problem is that the people in KY already know his track record, just like the people in WV.

  • Kathryn

    So he gets away with ducking any more debates with Hillary and the media lets him slide? What a WIMP! Anyone else would have been ridiculed.
    The ONLY way I see it happening is HILLARY for President,Obama her VP. We can’t win without the bots anymore than they can win without us. I can not tolerate Hillary as VP, the ticket would be upside down.

    • beebop

      Hillary might as well wear the Target logo of BO is the Veep. Her life wouldn’t be worth living.

      • Talktruth

        He is still every bad thing we’ve listed here for months even if he’s her VP. It would be political suicide on her part, IMHO.

        • mahaska

          how about mayor Nutter for VP? Or God help us, does he have secrets too?

      • Susaninbosque

        You know, this is very true it seems and very scary.

        I would really be interested in Larry’s point of view on that one but perhaps it is too hard to tease out at the moment but it is clear that this is what the party would demand of her when she is the nominee.

        This begins to be all very difficult for me emotionally. And being a boomer that fits Hillary and Bill’s profiles of life experience closely prior to their days in the White House, I am appalled by the way that I have been emotionally manipulated by a certain age group and a certain racial/liberal/liberated/elite group of folks. I have a visceral reaction that is totally different than anything I ever had prior to this campaign and it will take me a long time to get over it – and I really, really RESENT this manipulation.

    • karen for Clinton

      There are so many worthy VP choices that would balance the ticket and make her stronger.

      She could win without him as long as her VP was smartly chosen, and I’m sure it would be. She’s been around a long time and knows who is who.

      • Tom Plumb

        Whomever she chooses has to be as clean as the driven snow.

        Meaning no connection to the IL ocmbine garbage, and a candidate who respects the voter.

        Clinton doesn’t see herself as above the voter, she should choose a VP who also sees himself as a non elite, one truly an intellect, comfortable with women.

        Like Gore to Bill, in 1992.

  • missE

    The only thing Obama has ever changed is his story.

  • ces

    Obama just doesn’t like math.

    He sees things as BINARY.
    Black or white. 0 or 1. Hillary or Barack.

    > Obama supporters like caucuses, instead of the clean counting of primaries.
    > Obama surrogates don’t know how to count FL/MI.

    Why do all the Obamatons see things in binary?
    Because they can’t get past “THE ONE.”

    • pm317

      But, but.. he uses big words like numeracy!!

    • Demnomore

      Oh, he likes the math well. Let’s figure this out. According to him he needs a cuple of months in each state. Lets see are there 50 or 57 states? Lets just say there are 50. I for one would be happy to give him the three months or so he says he needs for each state. In that case Hillary will have served two terms, gotten the country back on the right track, so even he couldn’t screw it up. This way he won’t be bored doing what he gets paid for, being a senator from Il.

      • jwrjr

        Is is possible that you underestimate Obama’s ability to screw things up?

  • Nag

    I know this is a bit OT, but it just shows how incredibly ignorant Obama’s supporters are… just like him. Obama ignores states he can’t win, his supporters ignore hard facts about him because it doesn’t fit their views.

    I just got back from a rare visit to my old home on the web. They had a little discussion on mysogyny yesterday … get this gem of deep thought:

    Leaving aside the true misogynists, a great many Democrats dislike Hillary for various reasons that are not essentially related to the fact that she is a woman. But of those, many males, BECAUSE they already dislike her, feel free to express that dislike in mysogynistic terms — thus confusing the issue.

    So they may act like, sound like, and think like mysognyists, but how dare we call them mysogynists!!! This from a blog that refuses to address any of the negative aspects of Obama’s candidacy, from the major gaffes of his goofy and often right winger staff, to the details of Wright’s rants like humping the altar while screaching about Bill Clinton, to Obama’s connections with terrorists, to his deep involvement with the corrupt Chicago machine. They equally and willfully ignore them all. So they think all that doesn’t exist.

    They sit there on their little self constructed pedestals taking pot shots of this and other blogs… racists, all of us, you know, but their hands are squeaky clean. It was their mysogny and pure hatred of boomers and especially boomer women and all Hillary backers that forced me to face the hard truth about the place. I had to leave. They’re infantile. And they’re not all kids, either. They should know better. I’m not linking to them because I don’t want to start a war, I’m just so disgusted by their willful ignorance of their candidate I had to rant.

      Hey, I want to rant, too! :-)

      I think that they are not mature enough, mentally, to change their minds. They were dead-set against Hillary for so long, largely because of the Iraq thing (we all know the facts of that), that they had to choose someone else. And now that their chosen Prince turns out to be a toad, they’ve turned into toad lovers. They scream “He’s not a toad – he’s a prince! Sure, he’s got giant warts all over, he croaks, he hops from lily pad to lily pad, he’s green, he eats flies, but he is not a freakin’ toad, and stop trying to tell me he is!!!”

      I didn’t like the Iraq thing, either, but I know a toad when I see one. And I’d rather pick a prudent Princess than a toad.

        Possibly, but I’m equally convinced a lot of them were raised by Republicans.

      Then he needs to fire his media gurus… because he hasn’t gotten his money’s worth (or should I say Zbig, Exelon, Soros, Joe Andrew’s law firm, et al’s money)

    How in the hell can Obama complain whine that the voters don’t know him or his track record, when he’s had months and MILLIONS to let them know who and what he is. Word to Obama: they KNOW your scant track record, and they’re finding out who you are. That’s why you’ve had very few wins after the caucuses your campaign gamed.

    It’s one thing to make those comments about winning over the Democratic voters DURING the primary — THAT is what the primary season is for (but apparently Dean & The Elites didn’t get write that memo.) And it’s perfectly acceptable to say that about republican voters that you hope to win during the GE season. But this crazymaking talk that he deserves to get the nomination and THEN win over the Democratic voters is just fucking ridiculous!

    The Party is so dysfunctional right now! They are making up rules, changing rules, and pushing a guy to the nomination that has NOT earned it! He whines that Kentucky can’t be won because of “emails and fox news”, yet has the idiot spent any time there? Has he pounded the pavement, knocked on doors, talked in the back of pick up trucks, the way Hillary did in PA and Indiana and West Virginia? No.. he spent his time in states that already voted and pretending he’s already gotten the nomination.

    Hillary has had hundreds of nasty and malicious emails, blogs, commentaries, written about her — and yet she keeps winning and her poll numbers keep going up! She has had the nastiest and ugliest media smear for the past 16 years, and yet.. she keeps WINNING. And Obama keeps whining.

    Perhaps Obama can start his own party: The Pity Party. Instead of Jay Z music for their campaign events, Obama and Michelle can take the stage while being serenaded by the world’s smallest violins.

    THIS is the candidate the Party is promoting to be Commander in Chief while we try to deal with two wars and a recession? A coward, full of excuses. Just like Bush, it’s never his responsibility. The biggest lie about this statement–and he has to harken all the way back to Iowa for evidence–is that when people get to know him (and his record?? which one would that be?), they want to vote for him.

    So, how does he explain six weeks of relentless campaigning in PA that resulted in a large loss?

    This whole process is a travesty, and the only reason he is still viable is because he is being propped up by the Party leadership. I will not reinforce this sham with my vote. And don’t patronize me with your “women will soften and heal and come back to the Party” b.s. This is about principle, not spite.

    Anybody who has watch some of the O’Reilly bits on Obama posted to Youtube now know that Fox News is already claiming they have a wealth of material on Obama. O’Reilly basically admitted that his show will be revealing the additional information on an daily piecemeal basis.

    Increasingly the Anti-O’Reilly Keith Olbermann has been growing increasingly delusional in his Obamamania. O’Reilly must be relishing having the Obama story.

    O’Reilly must know the evolving Obama story is pure rating gold. FoxNews is unlikely to make jaw drop revealtions any time soon. They are simply going to slowly straggle the Democrats with Obama.

    You are all correct and corroborated. I have seen and read over and over accounts of the visceral feeling many get when contemplating a presidency wrought with Obama’s shortcomings. He is dangerous for our country by any account of his past or present actions. To squander the democracy, as the DNC has tried to do, is unforgivable. I will never, NEVER, vote for Obama, and the the fact that the MSM and the DNC have the Audacity to Hope I will change my mind, is utterly ridiculous.

  • politicsIsdirty

    Sen Obama said he is willing to debate Sen McCain anywhere, anytime. Huh, now he has found courage to debate Sen McCain.

    Where was the that courage when Sen Clinton was challenging him?? Wimp !!

      no he said he would debate mccain and bush both anytime anywhere.

      I guess while he was traveling to the 57 states of the union with 1 more state to go but not counting hawaii and alaska cause his staff wouldnt let him go there, he missed the memo about the term limits on the POTUS.

      Bush won’t be in any debates this election season Barry, which really is good for you…would hate for you to lose a debate to the dumbullya, and we know you would.

        are they emailing you or the obama campaign?

        and what is this about no signs or banners?

        This is very interesting to me there is no official candidate yet, how come they are working for Obama out in the open? We know they do it in secret.

        Is this the norm?

        Is it a DNC event is that common before hand?

        I understand the DNC not wanting signs, and obama in florida not wanting signs. They would have embarrassing slogans on them.

    You Broke It–You Own It, Obama Style; By Kristen Breitweiser

    “Those who are responsible for putting Democrats in the broken place we are in right now with regard to Barack Obama had better own it to the end. Leave those bumper stickers on and wear those campaign pins until the bitter end folks because YOU OWN IT. And people are going to want to know whose to blame.

    And as for the superdelegates, just an FYI, we have the list with your names, you will be held accountable on Election Day and beyond, too. This time around, everybody’s going to be looking for accountability.

    Flash forward to Election Day 08. Can you imagine the backpedaling going on when it comes to explaining how Barack Obama — the Democratic nominee by math not by sensibility — loses key states? What will those pundits say? Can they turn to history and defend themselves by saying that Obama won Ohio in the primary? Pennsylvania? Florida? And what about West Virginia? No Democrat has won the WH since 1916 without winning West Virginia and we all know what happened yesterday. What will they use as their rationale as to why they reasonably expected Obama to win those states in the general? Will they be driven mad with their math and just keep repeating that it wasn’t their fault — it was math’s fault? (Or will they fall back on the usual suspect and blame it on Hillary?)

    Maybe they’ll use the argument that Obama was supposed to re-draw the political map. That Obama promised that “all states were in play.” And, what if he turns out to be wrong? What if Obama loses those red states (and even some of those key blue states)? Is it possible that after e-i-g-h-t years of George Bush, we will have another Republican in the WH? Is it fathomable that a Republican like McCain could win by a landslide? Right now Jerome Armstrong at myDD has an electoral college estimate with McCain winning 290 to 248.”

    What a ludicrous way to win a nomination – avoid all the remaining states, proclaim them as racists, lose them by landslides, but declare victory anyway. Are the super delegates really falling for this farce? Do they think all those states won’t remember in November? Unbelievable!

  • karen for Clinton

    “When we’re able to campaign in a place like Iowa for several months and I can visit and talk to people individually, I do very well. That’s harder to do at this stage in the campaign,” Obama said in a brief telephone interview Friday. “And once we get past the primary, we’ll be able to focus more on those states where we need to make sure people know my track record.””

    He thinks the rest of the country is forgetful.

    Anybody remember he spent 6 weeks in PA fighting for his life on a bus and bowling?

    he lost here too. Gee, maybe he lost popularity since IOWA the first state….

  • Deep Truths

    No, no, no. We can win without the Obama-nuts. A lot of those red-state caucuses were independents and mischief making Republican will vote for McCain.

    Obama’s problem, and its huge that he not only hate white people deep down, but is fearful of them as well. Ironically he’s also skips black communities and black media.

    When all is said and done, the MSM and DNC have a lot of explaining to do.

    Oregon is critical, if Hillary stays within 4 points, Obama still preening, but if she eeks it out, its the death knell to Obama’s campaign. That’s why he skittish and whistling past the grave yard. He knows his time is up.

    The media should and will be excised. Either they will do it themselves, because the public has turned its back, or through government regulation. There is simply no reason to give these clowns protection under the constitution if the bulk of them are this one-sided for an obviously flawed candidate. The press is biased to the nth degree, and looking the other way. If ordinary citizens can research Wright, Ayers and Rezko, surely these weenies can find the time. They need to find ethics and spine to go with it. If not then the New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, broadcast and cable TV networks have justified the demise of the mainstream media. They no longer serve the purpose of watchdog of society.

    Like in George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”, the press pigs are dancing – on tip toes no less.

    If he IS the nominee the madness of attack will start and not let up nationally and constantly for months, as always but even worse since it will all be real dirt on him.

    If he refuses to go to KY will he refuse to go to all the states when the whole country is bombarded non-stop for months?

    Will he stay in Chicago where he feels safe and warm in his sewer with his sewer rats?

    When you have ignoramuses like these going to the polls there’s nothing you can say or do to win them over. These people put their own interests on the back burner because they have deep seated prejudices. Hillary and Barack policy wise are not that different, they may have different ideas on what they are going to do to get these policies in to play, but they both believe the war has to stop, healthcare should be available for all, college needs to be made cheaper, we need solutions for alternative fuel, fix the economy etc. And if democrats are too mentally handicapped to realize this and support either candidate then we will continue to suffer through another 4 years of our countries digression, wake up people!

    • Ulahane

      Except, Obama and his suurogates have all but shouted from the rooftops that they do not care about working class American’s.

      No one trusts Obama on the war anymore. Sorry but he has funded it in the Senate and advisers have said his promises are based on best case scenarios. His Health care plan will not do anything except undermine the idea of real universal health care. He calls for cheaper college and fixing the economy, but doesn’t offerer any real plans to do so. And, after voting for Cheney’s energy bill, can anyone trust him on energy or the environment.

      He is not what you think he is!!!!

  • Mw

    Hypothetically, if Obama voted against funding the war, the same people slaying him for voting for it would then deem him unpatriotic for voting against our troops having everything they need in a war we truly dont need to be in. The same war Hillary voted for and has refused to even say was a bad decision, even going as far as claiming she didnt know what she was approving. Get real! Im not going to go back and forth with you on Obama’s policies and how he intends on bringing them about, it’s all available on his website for your viewing pleasure. You’ve probably never even read the man’s views yet think he has no plans to bring about his changes. He has laid out in detail his plans to help with cheaper education, healthcare, etc and how he will fund it. Don’t let your love for Hillary make you bias. Indulge yourself in what both candidates have to say, it appears you only listen to Obama enough to find ways to critique him, yet completely ignore everything Clinton has said and done over the past year. Im an independent, and actually supported Clinton from the beginning, but she has revealed she is not all she is cracked up to be as most candidates do.

    You say how can we trust Obama after supporting the energy bill, but how can we trust Clinton to fix the economy when her presidential campaign which is still in the primaries is already deep in debt? How can we trust a candidate to be for the people when they are taking lobbyist money? How can we believe she will fix the healthcare system when she tried and failed as first lady, and then was well compensated by the powerful insurance companies to quiet down? If your going to speak on one candidate’s flaws, analyze both.

    On May 17, Obama’s campaign announced that it will be in Iowa on primary night (NOT Kentucky or Oregon) so that he can declare “victory”. Obama has a history of trying to shut out elections before they are done:

    Both Massachusetts and Chicago have prior experience with Obama, Deval Patrick, and David Axelrod, and the experience has not been good. Obama is trained in techniques that capitalize on discontent:

    There are very important things you can do NOW rather than blogging:
