Obama: Don’t Drive. Don’t Eat. Freeze Your Butt Off

By Uppity Woman on May 20, 2008 at 12:00 AM in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Jimmy Carter



“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.”

No Kidding. Barack Obama actually said that today. You can’t make this stuff up. He was talking about America “leading by example”. But it does conjure thoughts of exactly what Barack Obama has in mind.

Talk about an omen of what is to come if this guy, by some freak oddity, became President. I’m just wondering which “other countries” he wants the approval of. I mean, we are talking about the Presidency of the United States here. I wasn’t aware that our food, cars or warmth was subject to another country’s ‘approval’. But that’s just me.

Seeing Obama’s latest remark about his country kind of got me thinking what we would have to do if he were to become President, perish the thought.


Here are some practice tips I would think would work well with an Obama Presidency:

You can start by telling your useless anti-Obama elderly parent or neighbor that it’s just too damned bad if she is cold all the time and needs more heat in her apartment. Tell her old people are useless to Barack Obama anyhow, so turn down that thermostat and Live With It! Those goddamned Old People are a such a burden on society anyhow. Besides, most of them don’t like Barry. So screw ‘em. As one very loving “progressive” Obama supporter so compassionately described it back in January:

So, Barack scored a decisive victory tonight, unless you look exclusively at the old people vote. While he kicked ass in nearly every age group except those over 65, his support goes down progressively as the voters get older and he really, really doesn’t do well with the old people

Pundits are already pundit-ing that he needs to improve among old people because otherwise that whole “breaking down barriers” thing he’s pontificating about doesn’t count if all the old people don’t vote for him because he’s black. Then again, November 2008 is kind of far off. A lot of ‘em will prolly kick the bucket by then.

Bzzzzzzzzz! Time’s almost Up! There are still a lot of old people in the USA and they all still pretty much hate Barry.

You just don’t see too many of them hanging out swooning over his vibrating cell phone do you? Some say that a certain amount of wisdom and discernment comes with age. Translated, this means older people recognize a con when they see it. Just saying.

So bascially, if Barry decides to appoint himself President, he will just have to make all those old people crank down that thermostat to 62, let them freeze, the old farts — so “other countries” will say “Ok”. All 27 million of them! Think of the money the country will save if Obama just gets rid of all those pesky old people he doesn’t have time for. The problem is, he’s going to have to round them all up and make them feel too cold to vote in November or else it’s back to being a Chicago Thug for him. Maybe he can spring Tony Rezko and get him to cut off the heat completely. That’s the Obama-Chicago way.

Here’s considerate Barry smacking down one of those old farts in Iowa, where they simply cannot wait to vote again in November now that they know him better. The guy is just a boatload of compassion isn’t he?

And another thing, America: When Barky Obama is President, you aren’t going to be allowed to eat as much as you want anymore either. So get with the program and stop eating now! That way Barack Obama won’t be sending the Food Police to your house later. They are going to take your food and give it to somebody else who needs it more. You want a big meal? Get an invitation to the White House. Otherwise, no arugula for you!

You also might as well get rid of that damned SUV right now! Of course he can keep his. After all, he is the President! Oh wait, Ok, so he’s not president yet. But he will be just as soon as he figures out a way to cheat again and disenfranchise some more of the 57 states that aren’t going to vote for him. That should fix it. In the meantime, get yourself a subcompact and shove the five kids and the dog in it. If you don’t all fit, leave some kids home or something. And while you’re at it, start biking to work. So what if you commute 30 miles every day.

To be honest with you, hearing Barack Obama make those remarks reminded me of the Jimmy Carter days. Anyone who remembers Jimmy also remembers what a blast it was only being able to get some gasoline on Odd or Even days, depending on the last digit on your license plate. It was also fun to listen to Jimmy give his School Principal lectures to us on TV. I think they called that period in American History the “Carter Malaise”. But at least Jimmy waited till he was actually President to chastise and depress people. Of course, he also got his a$$ handed to him on a plate when he ran for his second term.

Obama Prosperity: It’s just around the corner. His. Not yours.

        If that’s how you make your case, clown, you don’t have a fucking argument. Go back down in your mother’s basement and pick your zits.

    • beebop

      Hello? Do you think he’s talking to us? Hell no. He’s talking to AL GORE … he’s going to take a world class whopping today in Kentucky and he wants to roll you can call me, Al, out on center stage.

      But he has a huge problem. His vote in favor of the Bush/Cheney Energy Bill … that’s right. He’s the only candidate left who supported it. Oh. He regrets it now, dammit, but he certainly didn’t then. When Shumer was screaming for transparency in those closed Cheney meetings, what was Barry doing? Looking for a way to make this work for Illinois … I am pulling the following paragraphs from MSNBC (back when reporting was their stock in trade versus opinion ….):

      But even though Obama takes broad swipes at Washington with a special-interest tar brush, even he gets somewhat spattered when it comes to the energy industry. Obama is a strong supporter of the Illinois coal industry, and has received thousands of dollars from lobbyists for the energy industry and employees of energy companies, according to the FEC.

      In 2005, he voted for the Bush energy bill, which he vigorously criticizes on the stump, accusing the administration of meeting with conservation and environmental groups only once but meeting with the oil industry 40 times.

      Obama’s support for the Bush energy bill brought $40 million to Illinois to help its burgeoning ethanol industry, $1 billion to allow diesel engines to be retrofitted to reduce air pollution and another $85 million for Illinois universities to research how to turn Illinois basin coal into transportation fuels, according to an article in the Peoria Star Journal at the time.

      I hope that Al Gore gives more than lip service to his environmental stand. But maybe he’s just one more old tired Democrat with his hand out ….

      I guess we’ll see.

      • ginaswo

        i thought so too
        but I also think he really is this naive and arrogant as well, what a combo, Dubyah redux with an added flave of cultlike following….

        here in AZ where it was 110 degrees yesterday, many elderly people would die without their a/c
        perhaps Uhhbama plans to relocate all of us out of these areas, where have I heard that kind of reasoning before..oh yeah the maroons who said the Hurricane Katrina victims should have known better than to live in a flood plain, maybe if Uhhhbama gets his way we will return to what he may consider halcyon days of yore pre-SS when the NYC dept of sanitation had to pick up deceased elderly people off the streets, every day this joker says something else to make me shudder and pray harder for Hillary (or McCain if all else fails)

        after he is whomped tonight in KY who do you think they will roll out tomorrow to preempt the victory rounds on TV, Gore or Biden? I hope neither, I respect them both and hope they see Obama is unfit for POTUS….

    No doubt about it, though, when it comes to who can kiss global butt the best, Obama has it hands down over Clinton, and even McCain. He’s had plenty of practice bowing and scraping in his early years, ingratiating himself to the Combine in Illinois.

    Now, as Michelle would say, it’s time that her behind is kissed. Give her something!

    • Hope

      As long as millions of us out here stand against this anti-American, wave of insanity there might be a chance that our country survives. This is why I will vote for McCain if Hillary does not get the nom.

      We must vote for a patriot. We must vote for someone who has truly served our country.

      And I thought Bush was the limit. It appears his other half is on the way up the totem pole.

            Donna is a *colleague* of Karl Rove’s. He must be thanking her indeed.

            “Few would suspect that Rove regularly trades tips with Donna Brazile, Al Gore’s 2000 campaign manager; she tells Rove how Bush’s proposals are faring among Democrats, while Rove makes sure her clients are included in White House events.”

            Democrats unite! It’s time we took our country back – away from the DNC and the mainstream media who decided long ago who the nominee would be. Obama is totally lacking in judgment and experience, and if you want to send a message to the DNC, vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee. Sitting at home or writing in Hillary’s name will not accomplish anything. We must either convince Hillary to run as an independent or vote for McCain. And don’t let the Obama supporters fool you. McCain is NOT another George Bush – they don’t call him the maverick for nothing! Let’s show the DNC that all of our votes count, yes, even Florida and Michigan! WE get to choose the president – not the DNC and the media!!! Remember democracy? Remember one person, one vote? What a concept! It’s a pity the DNC has forgotten it!! Here’s a quote from Obama’s book, Audacity of Hope: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” Does this convince you to vote for Clinton or McCain? It should.

      • Gerald

        McCain is no Patriot he is a corporate shill no better than Cheney or Bush

    • so saddened

      now axt, what do you think you’re doing? suggesting a real solution? the one can’t have us doing that. that’s the type of old politics practiced by those horrible racist ones like hillary and mccain. oh no, we can’t fix the problem. we’ll just tell poor people and old people that they need to suffer in the interests of the obambis and their pals.

      my goodness, the nerve of expecting a real solution!!! shame, shame, shame.

      can’t think of why, but it has to be racist. after all, it involves disagreeing with obambi, so there’s no doubt that it must be racist. if obambi didn’t think of it, it can’t be good. so you’re racist. and uneducated. and cling to your guns and religion.

      oh, and obambi wants your vote.

        Politician most likely to admit hemp is essential to any sane notion of biofuels as part of a larger sustainable energy policy:

        (a) John McCain

        (b) Hillary Clinton

        (c) Barack Obama

        Comparisons to Carter are important, since he failed to decriminalize hemp.

        Barack Obama won’t.

        Get ready for the new economy.

          Awesome Dude! With fields of hemp, it’ll be like impossible to find all our pot and when we’re all really stoned, we’ll all be like too chilled to be drivin’ around wastin’ energy n’stuff. He is the one!!!

          • http://www.arguewitheveryone.com ChrisXP

            Let alone hemp produces little fuel per weight. Considering soil conservation is a must, producing the junk for such fuel output is a step backwards, not forwards.

            Just another slogan for kids, to justify why they lost their brain cells enough to vote for Obama.

      He’s going to have Rezko find a way to convert the poor into an alternative energy source.

      • http://www.arguewitheveryone.com ChrisXP

        How? No land nearby to grow the alternatives. I can imagine wind power being an alternative there, but you know how elites complain how their “view” is interrupted by the wind turbines, so doubt wind farms would help on home heating (which is required in Chicago for at least 5 months a year).

        The guy stepped into eyebrow level doodoo.

        • John

          Elites want more soup kitchens, more homeless shelters, more wind farms, more everything, and they want all this stuff put in exactly the same place:

          Somewhere Else.

          • http://www.arguewitheveryone.com ChrisXP

            Precisely. Can’t mess up their million dollar “views” with something as unsightly as a 30ft wind turbines marring them.

            But it’s perfectly fine to locate them in Barry’s constituent’s backyard instead (who’ll also will have to pay for them, that ships the energy elsewere, even — much like in GA with the nuclear plants. We’re paying for Texas to have energy).

            • beebop

              He’s Teddy’s boy.

              What did Ted do when they wanted to put a wind farm up near the family “compound?”

              In a remarkable turnaround, liberals are now heaping scorn on the 73-year-old senator. Young audiences boo at his name, and the leftish “Daily Show” on Comedy Central makes fun of him.

              The source of unhappiness is Kennedy’s efforts to kill an offshore wind farm on Nantucket Sound. Cape Wind was to be the first such project in the United States and a source of pride to environmentally minded New Englanders. Polls show 84 percent of Massachusetts residents in favor. But now it appears that America’s first offshore wind farm will be near Galveston, Texas.

              Proposed the month before Sept. 11, 2001, Cape Wind remains in limbo. It’s been frustrated at every turn by a handful of yachtsmen, Kennedy included, who don’t want to see windmills from their verandas. Many millions have been spent spreading disinformation and smearing the wind farm’s supporters.

              Hillary is better off without the endorsement of a bunch of two-faced all talk no walk bitter old white men losers ….

      I know exactly what you mean. The whole thing seems surreal. There are people actually chanting ‘yes we can’ and are in some kind of altered state of revelry over a guy in his first term in the senate who has never done a THING for anyone but himself. He has no experience! At all! It’s just the strangest thing I’ve ever seen, and more than a little disappointing.

        • cows4us

          Disaffected youth is one of the biggest problems in a lot of countries where radical religions/govts are beginning to take over – inciting violence. They are easy to manipulate and all have the “I’m invincible” complex we all did as teenagers. First thing they always do though is to get rid of all the old people – especially intelligent ones like doctors, teachers, etc. Same pattern every time. Scary stuff.

        I remember being a teenager and reading the rise of Nazism and Fascism, or even the Cultural Revolution by Mao and wondering how could people be swept up in this – why didn’t they see through it? At least with Bush, people didn’t brand him a God. An average – “I would like to have a beer with him” type, but not as a Messiah. Really scary stuff.

        Never thought I would actually have to consider voting for McCain – putting my country before all else.

      No. Hillary Clinton has an excellent plan to deal with the problems facing this country. You should be aware of it, since your candidate has stolen most of it.

      Hillary and Bill never played dirty. That’s just the myth. They are, however, tough.

      But even this so-called tape? She’d never release it. It would hurt to many people in the AA community, and they are truly very responsible and accountable regarding that.

      You think her remark about MLK and LBJ hurt?

      Wait until someone decides to unleash the real stuff. THAT will hurt.

      • Mary

        Agree, Ann.

        I suspect Hillary has always known about this tape, but didn’t release it because she cares about the Party.

        But it may well explain why she felt the need to stay in the race, if Rove released it.

        That, and caring about Florida and Michigan.

        Hillary is head and shoulders above the Obamas (especially Michelle) in caring about what’s right for the party.

    • HARP

      He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.

      Obama said Michelle is a great closer, right? I guess he must know his wife best.

      Taking his advice, I will be doing what Michelle Obama said she would do when asked if her husband didn’t get the nomination, would she vote for the other candidate (Hillary) and Michelle said she’d have to think about it.

      If HRC is not #1 on the ticket, I’ll have to think about it. And I think me and my vote will walk. Hear me DNC!

    • Hope

      She did not expect the party to betray the only democrats that have won the White House for them in 28 yrs. Many of these people wouldn’t have jobs if it weren’t for the Clintons. Who would expect they’d back another loser like Obama? Ironically, the party that shows this much loyalty to the Clintons (and to MI and FL) is the one touting the fact that we should be loyal to the party.

        i’m 6ft and 165 pds, i don’t drive much at all, and i eat carefully. I’m even personally judgemental about lifestyles of fat wasteful people. But no politician can tell people to act or consume in any particular way. It’s not his job to make decisions for other people. he’s there to ensure the fredom to personally fuck up–or eat, transport or be comfortable.

        He’s a complete loser of a candidate.

        • Tru Dat

          You are right.

          Politicians should let people drive what they want, eat what they want and waste energy how they want…

            The gas prices raised sharply. It causes pain.

            But it’s manageable, and people are, indeed, looking at cars with better mileage with envy.

            I know my buddies and I carpool now regularly. That’s actually a very good change. It’s something we thought we should do, but it’s easy to say, “Oh gee, I may want to leave early.” Now, it’s easier to carpool.

            So there’s some good coming out of the gas crunch.

            My worry is for the people at the low end. I have young women calling me in a panic. They are down to choosing rent or gas. I think they’ll end up choosing gas. The kids will be living in cars. But the alternative? Give up the job. End up homeless anyway.

            We need a safety net here while we adjust.

            Truly.

            Do I feel sorry for people like me? Not really. I have a mid-size SUV, bought when I was hauling kids around for a community group I’m involved with. It was ideal for that. It’s not horrible on gas, but not good, either.

            So…..I have adjusted my habits, gang up my chores more efficiently, etc.

            That stuff is smart.

            And only higher gas prices would have forced me to change, for sure. “Smokey the Bear” doesn’t work.

            But food?

            Gimme a break. He had a stupid moment.

            • http://hyper-educated-uppity-woman.blogspot.com Uppity

              Heck the cost of my health insurance is a bigger burden on me than gasoline. Obama said yesterday he wanted to reduce everybody’s premiums by $2500 a year. Shows you what an out of touch moron he is. Tell a family who can’t be 20k a year for a single pay HMO that $2500 is going to help them and watch them laugh. That’s right, Barky. Where I am a Single Pay HMO is nearly $900 a month for ONE person and nearly 2k for a family, you dope on a rope. The man is so out of touch he’s practically invisible.

              • http://deleted AnninCa

                He did say one right thing on healthcare, Uppity. He called that “house insurance.”

                The problem is that his plan is a true disaster.

                It’s the issue that everyone is bored with. Too technical.

                But it always has been a true core difference between the two.

                Hillary’s plan is very much on track. His is not.

                And Elizabeth Edwards should be ashamed for not endorsing. She’s walking the line, but that’s not enough, and it’s a very, very important issue.

        Hmmm… I weigh 120 pounds, I eat lightly, I try to buy as much locally produced food as possible. I keep my house around 64 degrees in the winter, and rarely use a/c. I drive a compact car with great mileage. I recycle, I buy green products, my carbon footprint is ridiculously low. My energy bills are extremely low. I keep my yard as natural as possible for the little birds and bees to enoy.

        Is that enough for you???

        • http://www.arguewitheveryone.com ChrisXP

          No.

          Because I can guarantee that lifestyle you chose will come crashing down like a house of cards when — CREDIT — is gone (love the part about buying locally grown veggies, and I can bet not just veggies, the organic ones — goes great with actually paying for bottled city tap water, too).

          My family doesn’t live on credit at all. We grow our own veggies; we have a pond for watering them; we don’t have a car to worry about gas prices. When I go grocery shopping I actually carry the food on my back home, even.

          Now you latte elites carry 80lbs of food on your backs home. Then tell me about this silly “carbon footprint” shit.

          When folks actually live the creed they preach, THEN, they can say they’re “doing something about it”. Until then, they just play musical chairs with their slogans.

          And I still believe Obama’s statement is bunk, despite I live a lifestyle that puts most elites to shame.

          • Mary

            Well said.

    That clip of him yelling at the elderly woman sent chills down my spine. I have to throw up!!! Jesus, the disrespect has no boundaries…

    • http://deleted AnninCA

      That’s just his inexperience showing. He hasn’t dealt with the public, remember.

      That’s why he’s exhausted already, and it’s not even the real deal yet.

      I do agree with Ferarro. His tan is why he’s even in the race. He was pushed by the insiders who didn’t want Clinton.

      But he’s in over his head. That’s also obvious.

      I feel a bit bad for him, only because I was so on-track early on. I had a feeling that he wasn’t read, nor is the AA community.

      The pounding will truly hurt their feelings.

      I wish that he had waited, but as Hillary once said, “woulda, coulda, shoulda.”

      We’re in now.

      I think responsible people on Hlllary’s side will just think about the effects on others and find some proactive and smart ways to continue to push forward for people, real people, and not get caught up in the yin-yang.

      I’m hoping we all reach a unity of sorts. We see that this has helped the country define its differences and common ground. It’s also helped us see that rigidity is negative. I hope we’ve learned something about scapegoating. It angers people. I like to think we’ve all become more aware about racism and the AA community. I know I have. I like to think that people are starting to be aware of the same, in the female voters as well as the older community.

      Really, I’m hopeful that the messiness of this campaign will lead to an inch forward.

      That is good enough. An inch.

      Anything more? That just isn’t how people or group dynamics really work. We change by inches.

      • http://www.marcysmutiny.blogspot.com/ MessyMarcy

        Anything more?

        Well, yes. Racism is still a problem in this country; but if this campaign has proved anything, it is that sexism and ageism are perhaps even more troublesome because so many, particularly in the media and the Obama camp, find it acceptable to openly and loudly practice these “isms.” I started out thinking Obama was a decent human being, but when his campaign veered into playing the race card and demeaning women and old people, I understood that he was not. This cannot be chalked up to mere inexperience — he just has no moral compass. Politicians are by and large not candidates for sainthood, and I understand that; but one who bases his entire campaign on bigotry will never be acceptable to me.

        • jwrjr

          Obama’s campaign also has shown very clearly that racism is not limited to white folk.

  • SensibleWoman

    WOW! I’d venture to say he didn’t exactly do such a good job of winning our respected elders over to the BO camp at that meeting. No wonder they try to keep him out of that type of setup.

    Well, Mr. Obama, what did you and your wife eat today? How many times did you eat? Did you eat only the calories necessary to sustain life, or did you go over your allotment for the day?

    Did you ride a bike to get where you needed to go? Did your wife? Did you ride in an (GOD FORBID) air-conditioned vehicle? How many mpg did that vehicle get?

    What is the temperature on your home set at right now? Do you set it on a sweltering 76-78 degrees, like I do, in the summer months? Do you lower it to 68 degrees in the winter, like I do, because the electric bill gets too costly otherwise? Do you even know what an e-l-e-c-t-r-i-c bill looks like? Have you ever stood in line at Farm Fresh to pay your electric bill on the due date, because you couldn’t scrape up the cash any sooner? Better yet, have you ever received a shut-off notice, and gotten fees added onto your bill? BONUS: If you’ve ever actually had your electric SHUT OFF, and had to pay more to get the electric company to turn you back on?

    How much did that suit and tie you’ve got on cost you?

    Have you ever sat in front of an electric fan to cool off because you can’t afford A/C? Have you ever scraped up change to buy a pack of hot dogs at the grocery store?

    I will never vote for this conehead moron. Ever.

It is not right and we also know Michelle Obama is a racist, but we are paid low wages to do this dirty work and it’s the only job we can get.

    Working class Americans are eating too much, with having to decide between gas for work, medicine for health care, or food.

    That stuff is so affordable right now.

    Obama(D-Gluttony) is making a stand. This should certainly get Jared from Subway’s endorsement.

    So how many letters to Sen.Obama complaining of Rezko’s lack of winter heat were answered? You mean he doesn’t even let people see the records of his days in Senate?

    Oh, he’s just a poor note taker, like those pig Americans are poor dieters….

    Set your thermostat for the election at ’72.

    1972

    You mean he borrowed money from the federally indicted slum lord for a four fireplace house while the slumlord’s tenants froze in a Chicago winter?

    Yes, but each of the four Obama mansion fireplaces were set at ’72 degrees!

    If only you had set the nonworking heater in your public housing to ’72 that winter, you would not have put America in such a tenuous position.

    Blame the lil’ people!

    For what it’s worth, it’s AC time here already in the south, we set the air @ 78. Setting it @ 72 would be an example of gold brickin’ from where most households are at.

    Talk about intrusive government…

    • so saddened

      am flashing back to the carter years when we were told what temp to set our thermostats – 68 in the winter and 78 in the summer – due to the always fun gas crisis that had us waiting for our appointed days to wait in long lines to fill our gas tanks. my office followed the guidelines and my fingers were frozen as i tried to do my job at 68 degrees.

      i set my temps that way now, to save money and because i’m trying to do my part for the environment. but i’ll be damned if i let the government tell me i have to. same for what i eat – try to eat less (fail in this effort) but it’s none of uncle sam’s damn business!

      obambi and carter have much in common – malaise, need to change our ways, need to talk to terrorists. carter was a one-term president. sincerely hope obambi gets no term at all.

    Hey, I’m all for conservation and I don’t believe in conspicuous consumerism, but why is it that everything that comes out of his mouth just smacks of “I’m clueless and only see to the end of my own nose.” What other countries is he talking about — whose approval do we need?

    If he’s trying to say we should lead by example great — here’s the first part of the plan, Barry. You and congress sell your SUVs first — you start driving hybrids and eat a little less arugula and you leave the A/C off and we’ll be right behind ya’. Hey, I drive an economy car and when it starts to stumble, I’ll be happy to buy a hybrid.

    But just once, I’d like to see a politician practice what they preach — how offensive is it for his wife to be earning $300K++ a year, he’s now a millionaire, they send their children to ballet class for 10 grand or whatever and she’s telling women in Ohio who maybe make $37K that they shouldn’t go into the private sector?

    I don’t being lectured to by these two and told how crappy my country is. This is a great country. I know we have problems — instead of whining and complaining, why doesn’t he do his homework and come up with some real policies to do something about it?

    No. That doesn’t go along with the narrative that the DNC should just hand this to him because he is “The One” — well, fortunately he will self-destruct before then. This man is truly unelectable.

    • Think about it.

      whose approval do we need?

      The ones we want to move from ‘ripping off by supporting repressive regimes’ to ‘enhancing sane & humane democracies by supporting stewardship’.

      But just once, I’d like to see a politician practice what they preach

      You voted for Kucinich in the primaries?

      why doesn’t he do his homework and come up with some real policies to do something about it?

      Such as fuel efficient vehicles, public transportation, eating smart & healthy and being willing to heat houses intelligently & efficiently?

      Truly greedy people don’t get what he said.

      Truly humble people do.

      You’re not going to say anything about a candidate, but clearly accused someone of lying about Obama without mentioning his name.

      I will mention a candidate. Hillary Clinton is the only one in the race who will both act swiftly to end the war and will take action, not just talk, to meet the needs of veterans. So if you are really concerned about these matters, you will support her, not Obama, who makes many promises but keeps none of them.

  • mparker

    Hillary Clinton has no chance of winning.

    Stop whining about it and stop lying about Obama using Republican BS talking points. Voting for McCain will mean 4 or 8 more years of Bush policies and Supreme Court appointments and war in Iran at the very least.

    WAKE UP, and stop working for Rove.

    • GregA

      I am gonna vote my own best interests, whatever those are on election day.

      Just real quick, off the top of my head, there has been no scrutiny of Obamas tax plan yet. He keeps saying he is going to raise taxes in 2010, yet claims he is not going to raise taxes on people making less than 50k a year, and his 2010 tax increase does in fact have tax increases for people making less than 50k.

      On foreign policy… Just wow… I would rather have someone at the helm who has the first clue what diplomacy is(even if i disagree with it), rather than the snap reactionary that Obama seems to be. The whole sittng down with terrorists without preconditions things… just does not sit will with me. I am reminded by Jimmy Carters recent failed trip, and at the end of his terms, Bill Clintons final efforts to talk with some of these guys.

      Energy policy. Boy I wish I knew what it was. He hasn’t gotten any more specific than a few platitudes, and from the OP, some of those platitudes are downright BAD in any conceivable way I can see the government implementing them.

      SCOTUS appointees… I kida agree with where the court is headed at the moment. I mean if you are into child porn, I can see why you would dislike this court but other than that? Oh you are talking about abortion, arnt you? Well Obama is way out of line with my thinking on abortion, and I’m pro-choice. Obama seems to be pro-abortion. But there was a period between 2002 and 2006 where congress could have outlawed abortion and been very successful with it, but they didn’t. I am gonna go ahead and call the republican bluff on this one, because I think the anti-abortion movement is out of steam, and basically irrelevant nowa days.

      Welfare policy. Again he hasn’t given many specifics, but it certainly looks like he wants to return to the situation we had before Clinton reformed it all. Wow, that alone would be worse that just about any bad policy that McCain has.

      Divided government… I don’t know, its looking like the dems are gonna pick up a few seats in both Senate and house this fall, and McCain wont have coat tails this year. I like those two particular branches being different parties. I think it would be a disaster if Pelosi managed to get a rubber stamp executive. Also it is plain that the republicans in congress are nearly irrelevant, and will be for the foreseeable future.

      So after Clinton (who would govern from a “good governance” ideology, rather than DailyKos insanity) McCain seems like the safest bet. I know in me, McCain doesn’t now nor has he ever engendered the sort of hatred that Bush and Cheney make me feel.

      And let me tell you… If Obama can’t win my vote, he is not electable in the GE. A lot of the sort of ‘change’ that Obama talks about is simply not affectable by federal government(nor would it be desirable).

      No thanks though, but I don’t think McCain would be an awful president Obama. He might be a lame duck, but not actively awful.

      This is even better than McGovern. Thanks for the memory. Maybe in four years you whackjobs will shut the hell up again so that we can actually elect a Democratic president. Because of you and your stupidity we have only elected two in 30 years. Make that 34 now. Only one of them served two terms because he was a moderate, just like the majority of the party and the majority of America. Barack Obama will land in the same political graveyard as McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis and that arrogant out of touch asshole Kerry. The only good thing about Kerry was that he wasn’t Dean.

    “…reminded me of the Jimmy Carter days.” A good comment, especially when we recall that Zbig is Obi’s main foreign policy adviser, and he most surely intends wars much worse than WWII, and his whole damn family–of the same ilk–is all over Obama.

    Reminded me of the FDR days. I’m 62 years old. When FRD took office in March of 1933, my father was a lad in high school. Point being, knowledge of those times is not common these days.

    And if you learned what was really happening in those years leading into the great war to stop worldwide fascism, you are a rare and lucky student indeed.

    “Franklin Delano Roosevelt vs. the Banks:
    Morgan’s Fascist Plot, and How It Was Defeated”
    by L. Wolfe (That’s Lani)

    Well-reported, very readable and true. Easily available with a few clicks. (When your TV whispers, “watch me. Watch me,…” throw something hard and heavy at it. Or at least whisper back, “STFU.”)

    Hillary is going to need your support after she wins the presidency too. If she’s stopped, you will know exactly why, and much of how.

    (Anticipating the possibility of someone not knowing wtf they are talking about, I’ll say this report is not promoting libertarian policies; quite the contrary, as would be seen by actually reading it.)

  • karen for Clinton

    dear obama ratpack paid trolls,

    We’ve got 2 moral obligations.

    One is to do everything we can for Hillary.

    Two is to do everything we can to make sure barfbag doesn’t get the nomination and if that fails to continue to expose what a disaster of a candidate he truly is.

    The MSM has ignored his long ugly parade of negatives, but we haven’t.

    We will never join the obamamessiah worshippers.

    Republicans make up roughly 50% of the USA. Hillary supporters make up half the dem party. So you are fighting against 3/4 of the American voting public.

    Pretending to be nice after being abusive for so long, doesn’t work. In fact we are just now starting to feel the anger that has been festering for so long due to barry’s tactics and your attacks.

    You didn’t win us with vinegar and you surely won’t make us get in line with a fake sugar substitute.

    The tsunami of dissent will be heard loud and clear.

    That we fall on the same side as republicans for the first time in many of our lives – is Obama’s fault.

    I actually agree with Obama on this, but it is the sort of honesty that would cost him in a race with Republicans, who will insist on Americans’ God-given right to keep swilling at the hog trough. Too reminiscent of Carter’s sweaters.

    My only beef with Obama is that he is electorally weak with a flawed support constituency.

    • John

      Read my post below. It’s only admirable if you believe Americans are all driving around in SUVs with the thermostats cranked up at home. This is the kind of “America is in trouble because we are whiny brats” simplistic thinking that the Du Ponts and old Rockefeller families used to justify not giving a crap about anyone but themselves. It’s Reagan’s “Welfare Queen” mentality all over again.

      It’s going to to over really well with people struggling to make ends meet. I agree that many Americans are incredibly wasteful, and I won’t shed one tear for people who bought gas-guzzlers they didn’t need and now can’t afford. But they are in the minority. Most of us live far from luxurious lives- and are still hurting. I don’t need a lecture from Barack “check out my new digs” Obama on how to tighten my belt, thanks.

  • Poor White

    We have improved efficiency in almost everyting in the last 25 years .. cars, fridge, heating you name it. Instead of further increasing efficiency and use alternative energy, Obama wants Americans to not live a comfortable life.

    We elect a president who can help us lead a comfortable life not the one he suggests.

    He is backward thinking instead of forward.

    Cannot afford to have a marxist as our president.

  • John

    Someone tell this dipshit that millions of us drive Honda Civics,not SUVs, and already keep our thermostats at 68 all winter. And we still suffer from high gas and heating bills.

  • http://www.arguewitheveryone.com ChrisXP

    I’m going to say this much: during WWII my mom’s dad was a farmer/fisherman. The army came in and stoled all of the food and larger boats. If my mom’s dad didn’t hoard food (a “crime” that would’ve got him killed), they would’ve all been as dead as the people she saw off the sides of the road (along with the anti-aircraft killed citizens). It was so godawful, her neighbors ate her dog and tanned the hide (and Japanese don’t eat dogs).

    NEVER going back to that shit, EVER. Obama wouldn’t have to worry about another 4 years in office, citizens would raid the White House and kick him out completely. He’ll go down as the worst president in US history. In turn, set back having a Black president for another 100+ years; let alone civil rights for Blacks, since folks will be highly suspicious of other Black candidates, thinking they’d have the same views as that fruitcake.

    It hurt Carter when he asked this country to sacrifice, and it’ll hurt Obama. You can’t make folks sacrifice, unless it’s for survival, and we’re nowhere near that point (and won’t be even in 20+ years).

    Obama needs to go, period. The nub doesn’t understand history, let alone a country full of immigrants and naturalized citizens who’d NEVER go back to starvation again — be it a Russian immigrant, to an REAL African who’s country faced years of famine. He wants to stop eating, move to Kenya, and live as the natives, not the British old guard. Obama wouldn’t last a week there without crying about the hardship, especially when he’s reduced to eating “jungle meat” (monkey) and/or BBQ rats.

    Wimp.

    Listening to Senator Obama’s comments tell me that he wishes to play upon fear rather than provide solutions to problems.

    FDR

    Th only thing we have to fear is fear itself

    While Senator Obama puts up roadblocks to progress and the betterment of all, Senator Clinton offers concrete solutions to issues like fuel efficiency, global warming, green energy technology and job creation.

    Obama thinks that he has made contact with the common folk when he mentions the cost of arugula at Whole Foods! Hillary, knows that most people, with gas prices the way they are, are taking a cold hard look at the bottom line. She knows that they do not have limited amounts of disposable income and therefore are not just driving around for the hell of it.

    During a political campaign people do not want to hear a candidate put up roadblocks. They want to hear from a candidate who empathizes with their difficulties but in the end tells them, “if we all come together, and work together, we can solve these problems. Here is how I (we) will do it.”

    He is just another nay sayer who has seen to it that he has his own little piece of the American dream (big house, housekeeper, wife’s personal trainer, 10,000 dollars of expendable income to spend on daughters ballet/sports fees) telling average jane and average joe that they need to be making sacrifices and doing without.

    Barack Obama was perfectly willing to let the black senior citizens who were living in his district while Senator of Illinois freeze their butts off for 6 months without heat. They were unfortunate enough to live in the buildings owned by Obama’s slumlord friend, Rezko. All the while, Obama was receiving money from Rezko for his campaign and attending lavish fundraising parties in Rezko’s warm home.

    Yeah….we should all freeze, that will take care of everything. Especially since it is partly Obama’s fault that the price of heating oil is so high…he signed on to Cheney’s energy bill.

    I have the feeling that this won’t even look like America when Obama is through with it. Mr. anti-America “I don’t need no flag pin” Obama will be sure of that.

He complained royally that, you know our big cars with their 15mpg ratings, were so slow. See in Germany they don’t use catalytic converters, so their little LeMans could zip to 100mph on the Autobaun.

      Now what is a catalytic converter? IT’S USED TO REDUCE TOXIC EMISSIONS FROM COMBUSTION ENGINES.

      It’s required in all US cars, but in Europe it’s not.

    Yesterday I watched a video where Obama tells us his time is now because all he sees in the country is violence and destruction (video Clear and Present Danger).

    Today I hear that we have to DO WITHOUT, LOWER OUR STANDARD OF LOVING – BERRY VISION. And part of BERRY VISION is BLAME BLAME BLAME you damn Americans. I don’t know about you but I am getting sick of BERRY VSION, and you can add Michelle vision and especially Wright, Ayres, and Rezko vision.

    I guess Berry he has no real hope or faith in America’s ability to rise to challenges, to innovate, or our ability and willingness to work to find ways to maintain our civilization.

    Hillary leads us by telling us to roll up our sleeves to find solutions for America. To find alternative energy sources. To invest in Green Initiatives to provide thousands of new jobs and also maintain our standard of living. And aren’t our farmers the best in the world any more, is Berry telling us they have lost the ability to feed us?

    Some people will agree, Americans drive big gas hog SUVs (especially a certain class of Americans we have been hearing about lately).

    And a lot of Americans are over weight but remember how JFK encouraged young Americans to exercise. That was because JFK loved Americans, didn’t see us just as typical white racist who cling to guns and religion, and most damning of all fear tall skinny black guys and their entourage.

    Kid Funkadelic-

    Yeah…anyone who supports Hillary or points out the corruption of “The Chosen One” must be associated with the right wing. The fact is, Kid, that the Obamabots are EXACTLY like the right wing nutcases.

    So, Obama wears a flag pin because he has to in order to try to bamboozle the voters that he’s suddenly a patriot. This is the same guy who was given a flag pin by a veteran at one of his rallies and he took it off the moment the rally was over. The next day, he wasn’t wearing it at the debate. That shows you how much he cares about our military troops. Whenever he is asked questions at townhall meetings by veterans, he doesn’t even acknowledge their service. Obama is a black George Bush and all you left wingers who have been railing about right wingers for all these years are emulating them.

Doesn’t Larry’s face look like the guy from the Nike cult with the tracksuits.Why is his face sweaty?It has a kind of Jim Jones quality to it.Think for yourselves.”

    For one thing, “distroy” is misspelled, get yourself an education, for gosh sakes!

    So, anyone who doesn’t vote for Obama must be a racist, eh? What did you say? “Think for yourself”? This is coming from a guy who has done nothing but spout the Obamabot mantra, “YOU ARE A RACIST IF YOU DON’T VOTE FOR A BLACK MAN” –”YES WE CAN YES WE CAN YES WE CAN” “HOPE–CHANGE—HOPE—CHANGE”.

    Wake up, kid….get yourself some much needed help.

      That is stunning! I wish the MSM would see fit to actually COVER those two statements. He’s allowed to run all over the Country making these nonsensical statments, and demonstrate his utter lack of knowledge, and yet they are silent.

      The problem is that Obama is another George Bush. He gets this shit wrong because he doesn’t know it. The basic premise of public speaking, in order to not screw up, is to KNOW your subject and talk about what you know. That way, if you get thrown off your prepared speech, you’ll be fine because you know your subject and can talk about it.

      Obama just doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He cannot speak consistently and coherently. Hillary knows her stuff. She doesn’t screw up because the knowledge and understanding is inside of her brain.

      And yet.. once again, the MSM (AP being the worst) is promoting the weaker (but oh so likable) candidate over the class valedictorian. They did this with Gore and Bush. Bush was given a free pass cuz it was sooo much fun to travel with him! And Al Gore who would have been an amazing president, was treated like the nerdy outsider with off the chart SAT scores. It’s like high school.

    “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.”

    While I agree that these are issues we must address, what he is really doing here is blowing his dog whistle to his young, affluent, followers.

    We can’t drive our SUVs

    meaning: Everyone should drive Toyota Priuses just like we do… or pretend to do.

    We can’t…eat as much as we want

    meaning: Get in shape, America. Devote your life to the vanity of the body. Get a Personal Trainer and get with it. Shop at Whole Foods.

    We can’t…keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times …

    meaning: It you were wonderful like us, you’d live in Portland, or Seattle, or San Jose. You wouldn’t live someplace hot and humid, or frigid.

    and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.

    meaning: America is history, and it’s the history of dead white men (who wrote the history after stealing America from the black, red, and yellow man). From now on, you SUV driving, hamburger eating, air conditioned proletarians are going to have to answer to a Higher Power… Obama.

  • PaganPower

    When Obama fires his maid and gardener so that he and Michelle have to actually do some work, turns down HIS thermostat, has to give up fine dining and cancel all those ballet and other classes where they are driving driving HIS SUV then perhaps I might consider doing any of the same.

And we are aware of the “stampede” of delegate endorsements coming. Maybe Obama has some better than Byrd left? Gore perhaps? Big deal. See you trolls in August and that is 1000 years in dirt digging time. Have fun as we wear you and Obama down to a nub between now and then.

    The pod people fail to realize there are enough SDs in play to protect Hillary from being shutout. Unless they can force her to concede she can now go the distance. And fat chance of her conceding to that wannabe dictator. And they should be very afraid of Rupert after badmouthing him all these months. They might want to extend the fake nice crap to Fox now.

    Remember waaaaaaayyyy back in February when everyone from Randi Rhodes to Donna Brazile was telling us that the Superdelegates were essentially illegitimate (I DISTINCTLY remember Brazile telling us, repeatedly, that she would resign from the DNC if the Superdelegates overturned the popular vote) and MUST support the person who won in their own state?

    Then we started getting Obama endorsements by Kerry, Kennedy, Richardson, Waxman, now Byrd…all from states carried by Hillary…so we don’t hear that argument any more.

    Doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten it. And it doesn’t mean that argument isn’t on tape. By their own argument the Obamabots must insist that the Superdelegates of Hillary states vote for Hillary. They must insist that the winner of the popular vote win the nomination.

    Or, they must stand exposed as total hypocrites who will do and say anything to win. What’s it going to be?

  • ea

    Uh, I am new here, and thought this was a bit of a fun site, as comments were often witty. This thread, however, suggests now that folks will jump on anything Obama says, without actually trying to get the message. I want HRC to get the dem nom so badly, I can figuratively taste it (and when I bite my lip, I literally taste it), but Obama is right on the money on this one. HRC has addressed this as well–that the USA can not continue it bloated energy consumption. Honestly people, the rest of the world does not exist so that the USA can be irresponsible. Our own behaviors have contributed to the problems of this country and the world. Obama says plenty of things to go after, but this is definitely not one of them.

    • Ulahane

      The problem I have here is not with the goals that he outlines; the real problem is with the suggestion that other, unnamed, countries have the authority to make these decisions for us. Obama has an unfortunate tendency to defer to the U.N. for decisions.

      A second problem is the complete hypocrisy of a candidate who travels to campaign events in an S.U.V. and lives in a mansion, arguing for more responsible fuel usage. He looks anorexic so I’ll grant he probably doesn’t waste food, but do you really want the U.N. to mandate your maximum caloric intake?

      • ea

        I think his point is that we need to remember that the USA depends on other countries as energy suppliers, whether in the form of petroleum products or foods. Honestly, why should some other country do without, so we can have ours?

        I think that, because he has not worded things well in the past, anything that isn’t crystal clear coming out of his mouth is automatically construed in the worst possible light.

        I absolutely will not vote for this man, but he is correct on this point.

    • ea

      Just need to correct something…

      I thought I was on a different blog, with the “fun” and “witty” comment, sorry. This site has a different tone.

      • GregA

        Could you please direct me to the blog with funny and witty comments? I have not found that part of the blog’o'sphere yet.

    • GregA

      Would you kindly know something about energy policy before you post about energy policy…

      The USA has plenty of energy, we can freely consume as much as we want. The problem has been special interests. There is a certain segment of society (the liberal elite, ignorant uneducated working class people seem to get it) that pitches a fit every time some one tries to develop a non oil based resource, be it coal, wind, wave or nuclear(and now there is liberal elite opposition to bio-fuels as well??? huh?) Although they seem to like direct solar, even though it is about the worst option right now.

      So maybe… just maybe, if you liberal elite types would just let an alternative take off, we could end dependence on mid-east oil, or at least its impact on our markets.

      Maybe if you guys would stop taking a view along the lines of “there is no answer, ignorant uneducated working class people will just have to take the bus” we could make some progress.

      Certainly not going to happen this election cycle.

  • HillaryMadamePresident

    Great commentary, Uppity. BTW, when was the video in Iowa taken? If it was during the primary…I can’t believe he won it. It was also amazing to hear David Schuster criticize him…I guess that was before drinking the koolaide. Obama would be the very worst President in our history. I am ready to vote for McCain if Hillary is denied the nomination. Democratic Party Leaders could not be more incompetent to have allowed a system that would catapult a crass neophyte.

  • Silver

    It drives me nuts when I hear Obama talking about eating less, driving less, or being cold. Energy is everywhere!! It’s just a matter of harnessing it. We’ve just got to figure it out!!

    I work with kids—they’re extraordinary and smart, and quite capable of figuring out the solution for any problem if given the motivation and opportunity. Instead of lack, we should be focusing on ingenuity, abundance, and a rich, thriving environment as a by-product. It’s quite possible for all of us to have our desires met without being deprived of something else. It’s all about intelligence and figuring things out—and a college degree is not required. Everybody is usually a genius in SOME area—the only problem is, most people don’t realize how talented they are and don’t develop it. Imagine how great our world would be if they did!!!

    • Gary McGowan

      Exactly. People spout the consensus reality stuff about “dwindling resources” with absolutely no hint of the notion that the greatest resource is human creative potential.

      “The spark of genius in the pre-school child, if it has not been destroyed already, is often typified by the Socratic manner in which the child asks “Why?” Sadly, in the United States in our times, that spark of genius is usually soon quenched…

      “Why are today’s putatively literate people so blindly credulous?’

      “The answer to that question is the subject of this report.”

      It’s easy to find, but less easy to read–all 90 or so pages. But it’s there, and it’s very valuable.

  • Carmen

    I’m getting pretty darn fed up with that word “racist” being tossed around like it’s cotton candy. Where I grew up, there was a sign outside a small town that said “niggers” better not to spend the night—THAT’S RACIST!! When my girlfriend was six-years-old, a black man smiled at her once and gave her a nickel. Her mother marched her into the nearest bathroom and scrubbed her hand with soap and water and said, “Don’t you ever touch a black man again!” THAT’S RACIST!! Please save your racist rants for cases where the term truly applies. Otherwise, you’re diminishing the suffering that people who really WERE discriminated against had to bear.

    • Catriley

      Absolutely, Carmen. I’m sick of them throwing the racist charge around onto anyone that doesn’t support Obama, or criticizes him. They’ve hit the motherlode with Obama because he cannot be criticized, and every word about him is passed through a racism filter. Is this the new America they want? Where people become afraid to say anything for fear of being branded a racist?

      That’s not the way to stop racism. The other day I was watching my black neighbor helping his best friend next door, who is white, build a swing set for his kids, I thought that is how racism is overcome. It’s through the everyday stuff, the living next door to each other, working together, getting to know each other one-on-one. All those words and accusations that Obama’s surrogates and supporters throw around don’t stop racism… they make it worse.

      swanky, I saw a documentary on the ethanol scam. It takes something like 350 bushels of corn to make a gallon. Add to that the cost of energy to process it and the cost of gasoline right now is cheap. In the meantime, the cost of all alternative grains are now getting higher by the day because of this– you are right. It costs more to feed livestock. There isn’t enough grain for the world to eat. So much for that solution. I think electric cars are a riot too. Try starting one of those in the NE winter, not to mention cost of ‘powering’ it. I don’t know much about them, but please don’t tell me I would be expected to use electricity at 12 cents a killowatt hour.

  • Pingback: More Facts about Mr Obama … « Obama who ?

  • Deep breath

    Listen, I want Hillary to get the nomination as much as anyone else, but a lot of you are just blinded by hatred here. Most of you sound like you would support the Bush oil/coal handouts that Obama voted for. While Obama is clearly changing positions here, his new position is right-on. Yes, people need a/c to get by in very hot weather, but 80 degrees won’t kill anyone. If 70 degrees in the winter makes you cold, put on a sweater. And guess what — Americans are super-fat. You should be eating less.

    I think Obama would be a much worse president than Hillary, but I understand he is not talking about these things as legislative mandates. Also, while these measures would help our standing in the world, the best reason to do these things is just because they are right. We should be good people. Reduce your consumption of food and fuel to benefit the environment for your children. Come one, we’re progressives — these are the things we’ve been standing for and must continue to stand for, even when they come from the mouth of a duplicitous jerk.

    Lastly, if you’re saying you won’t vote for Obama in November, you’re crazy. I hope Hillary pulls this out, but I’m a realist — it doesn’t look good. I’d have trouble voting for Obama now, but I’m sure I’ll get over that after months of hearing what McCain wants to do to our country. Saying you’d vote for McCain is just dumb. The main reason I support Hillary is because she isn’t afraid to say that Democrats are right, Republicans are wrong, and there are things that are worth fighting for. Obama may be a weak leader who preaches the idiocy of bipartisanship, but McCain is a hardcore conservative Republican. Don’t be fooled, he is no moderate. We can still fight Obama, but when and if the time comes, we must vote our principles. If you’re a Hillary supporter, I can’t believe McCain fits your principles better than Obama (although both are obviously less than ideal).

    • http://hillaryorbust.blogspot.com Hillary or Bust

      I’m not voting for Obama without Hillary on the ticket, but that does not mean I am voting for McCain. I may vote third party or write Hillary in. I have a poll on my website and it’s almost 50/50 split between people who are voting for McCain and people who are writing in Hillary.

      • Nancy

        Democrats unite! It’s time we took our country back – away from the DNC and the mainstream media who decided long ago who the nominee would be. Obama is totally lacking in judgment and experience, and if you want to send a message to the DNC, vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee. Sitting at home or writing in Hillary’s name will not accomplish anything. We must either convince Hillary to run as an independent or vote for McCain. And don’t let the Obama supporters fool you. McCain is NOT another George Bush – they don’t call him the maverick for nothing! Let’s show the DNC that all of our votes count, yes, even Florida and Michigan! We get to choose the president – not the DNC and the media!!! Remember democracy? Remember one person, one vote? What a concept! It’s a pity the DNC has forgotten it!! Here’s a quote from Obama’s book, Audacity of Hope: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” Does this convince you to vote for Clinton or McCain? It should.

        • Deep breath

          “McCain is NOT another George Bush – they don’t call him the maverick for nothing!”

          Actually, they do call him the maverick for nothing. How is he a maverick? Even GWB wouldn’t want to stay in Iraq for 100 years? His environmental plan is weak — you’d need a microscope to differentiate it from Bush’s “plan.” What about healthcare? While Hillary supports universal care and Obama at least wants to modestly increase coverage, McCain wants to start taxing your employer’s contribution to your health insurance. That’s the GOP way — increase the taxes on the poor and working class. Oh, I know! McCain was against the Bush tax cuts for the rich, before he was for them. At least he says that he wants to appoint super-conservative judges. That sets him apart from Bush, wait…

          And, despite your best attempts, I’m not scared of Muslims. In fact, the McCain Christian right scares me much more (remember, now he likes Falwell and Robertson, don’t forget Hagee).

          I held my nose and voted for Kerry, I can do it again with Obama. Don’t forget 2000 — any vote that is not for the Democratic nominee is a vote for McCain. They told us in 2000 that Gore and Bush were the same — does anyone still believe that? I, too, hope Hillary is on the ticket (hopefully on top!), but I’ll vote D anyway. Then, you just have to come back in 4 years and fight for a true progressive candidate, knowing Obama at least won’t have screwed things up as much as McCain would have.

    Don’t be fooled by the 400 bloggers hired by the Obama campaign. They are desperate to convince the Clinton supporters not to jump ship and vote for McCain in November. I fear we have one of them with us today. Teach the DNC and the mainstream media a lesson! The people choose our President – NOT the party leaders and the media! Enough people have fallen for Obama’s bullshit. Let’s end it now! Vote for Clinton or vote for McCain! No other options!!

    • Deep breath

      Thanks, that name calling is helpful. I’ve been a Democratic activist since junior high. I’ve been on my county central committee. I worked for Gore in 2000, Dean in 2004, and I was a precinct captain for Hillary this time around. You can complain about the media treatment Obama has received — and you’re right. But, McCain gets the same kind of free ride from the media. The media have their two man-crushes, and everything is going their way. It’s disgusting. Complain, whine, try to change things — I’m all for it. But, then realize the future of our country is more important than a grudge.

          • Nancy

            Same thing! And I don’t believe you’re not working for the Obama campaign, either. If you had done your homework on Obama and truly wanted what’s best for this country, you would agree that while McCain is not the first choice, he is the only one. Go back to your boss and tell him we mean business. We will not only vote for McCain, but we will contribute to his campaign, and spend as much time campaigning for him as we have for Clinton. Don’t believe it at your peril. The DNC can expect a mass exodus from the Democratic party come November. It can disband for all we care. They’ll never get another penny from us.

        • Nancy

          And another thing, it’s not a grudge. I’ve done my own vetting of Obama because the mainstream media, the DNC and people like you didn’t bother, and now we’re stuck with him. Well, he may be the nominee, but he’ll never be President of the United States.

          • Deep breath

            I didn’t bother? Please explain how you know so much about me. You apparently know lots of things I didn’t know about myself — such as my love for Obama and how his campaign is paying me.

  • Deep breath

    Nancy, you know the irony here? You constantly question my motivation, just like the MSM always do with Hillary! Now I know how she must feel. No one will accept that she takes a position because she actually believes it is the best course. Right now, I’m having a lot of trouble believing you don’t work for McCain for Karl Rove. Aside from shady personal associations, you haven’t explained how McCain has better policy ideas or will sign/veto/nominate better than Obama. As a Hillary precinct captain and progressive doctor who supports universal care, how could I possibly support Obama over Hillary — stop questioning my motivation. This is sad. Over the past several months I’ve said on many occasions, regarding many topics, “Hillary supporters are better than that.” You make me think that generalization is false.

    That quote from Obama is one of the stupidest thing I’ve heard him say. The republicans will destroy him with it.

  • otherlisa

    Well, as a staunch Hillary supporter who thinks that Obama will be a disaster as nominee (I mean, don’t get me started), I sorta kinda agree with this. Don’t hit me. He didn’t put it well (as usual), but the fact is, we as a country need to move into conservation mode to deal with the increasing costs of energy. Oil is not going to go down. Not gonna happen. I’m optimistic that we can develop alternatives but it’s going to take some time for those to come on line. So for now, the single most productive thing we can do is conserve.

    California, in spite of its dependence on car culture, has kept its rate of energy consumption flat since the 1970s, simply by adopting common-sense conservation policies. The country needs to do this as a whole.

    The problem with Obama’s formulation is that it’s all negative. Hillary has a better energy program (and didn’t vote for Cheney’s heinous energy bill, unlike Obama) and phrases what we need to do as positives – “we’ll create Green jobs, it will be good for the economy, etc.”

    Obama sounds like a hectoring busy-body.

    Actually, Mr. Nowitall…

    the ONLY candidate in this race that has actually addressed the TRUE reason for the colossal gas prices is Hillary. She is the ONLY one that has talked, with knowledge, about the Enron style manipulations that are going on right now with oil/gas trading. I’ve researched this, and she’s the ONLY one that gets it.

    Corporations that in the past would have invested in.. say.. real estate, and other tangibles, are now investing in oil/gas. A strange variety of corps are investing in storage facilities, to hold the oil to play the market with it. Wall street firms, insurance companies, hotel companies, etc., are all now playing the oil market. ANd.. you have these traders ala Enron, exploiting the Enron loopholes that were never closed up, making 50 million a year driving up the prices based on anything from a weak dollar, a strong dollar, consumer confidence, a sheik’s flatulance, a rumor, whatever.

    Remember when it seemed impossible that oil would go over $100. a barrel? And then it did because a (now-fired) trader in France falsified something to have the honor of being the first to push oil over that mark? Well.. he did, got caught, got fired, and yet.. the bastard broke the threshold.

    Hillary is the ONLY candidate that has understood this and addressed this and has steps to stop it, and close the fucking loopholes that are being exploited and destroying our economy right now.

    I support Hillary because she’s the only candidate that actually gets this stuff. She can talk knowledgably about everything that is important to average Americans.

    Obama shouldn’t be telling people they can’t eat as much as they want. There are people in this country who already don’t eat as much as they want because they can’t afford more. Obama’s comments assume Americans are all fat pigs (as do you apparently), but that is untrue. Obama is speaking from the ivory tower with this line of garbage. He sounds like an out-of-touch elitist.

    And on the subject of elitists, affluent liberals are never going to give up their SUV’s or their comfortable home temperatures because Obama says so. They certainly aren’t going to stop eating as much as they want per Obama’s wishes. That is a left-wing authoritarian fantasy.

    Sure they will clap and cheer for him at his rallies when he says we’re all fat pigs who need to go on a diet, then they’ll jump in their SUV’s, gorge themselves at a nice restaurant, go home and crank up the heat (or AC), and talk about what a wonderful speech Obama gave.

    Fos, you’re rambling again. No one has told Americans not to conserve (well, maybe GeeDubya did, but he’s as stupid as Obama, so no one paid any attention except his fatcat backers, who are now backing Obama).

    Obama has stolen part of Hillary’s plan, rephrased it (badly) and is trying to fool the simple-minded Obamabutts into thinking he’s a tree-hugger. He has never and will never actually work to accomplish anything, so his fatcat backers referenced above aren’t worried about having to change their evil ways.

    Hillary, on the other hand, will do the hard work necessary to implement a workable energy plan that will undo at least part of the harm done by Obama’s twin, George W. Bush. That’s why she’s the only person for the job of President.

    and a lot of people have weight issues precisely because they’re not able to afford the highest quality food.

    lately, a single tomato costs more than a box of spaghetti or a jar of store brand spaghetti sauce. and peanut butter is a lot cheaper than boneless skinless chicken breasts. so what’s the mother who needs to feed her kids on little money going to buy?

    obambi doesn’t have a clue about how people really live, despite his false claim about food stamps (which his mom may have gotten while she was in college, but he was living with his rich grandparents). his latte liberal supporters get in their suv’s and drive home after an expensive restaurant meal or coffee and muffins at starbucks. the working people he finds so disgusting go home in their old cars after their two jobs and fix spaghetti. that’s what happens in the real world, which obambi only sees when he can’t avoid real people during the campaign.

    There’s a reason for that… ;)

    Occupational hazard.

    Say, whatever happened to Calvin Coolidge?

    Obama’s sense of humor is much, much more subtle.

    Obama’s sense of humor is even more subtle.

    Watch out, Ann. They’re trying to establish contact. Next they’ll be offering you candy and kookaid. I meant koolaid, but that’s one typo that turned out to be more accurate than the intended word.

    Shopping at “Whole Paychecks” for their arugula. :)

    Honestly, it’s the nuttiest year I’ve ever seen.

    Unlike us hard working whiteys keeping Hillary flush with cash.

    I gotta go ride the bus home to work on my garden plot.

    Then off to my second job.

    The amazing part of the Arugula think is arugula has been the greens of Italian peasants for decades. It was considered one step up from dandelions. If you try to grow some it takes over your land. All these jokers have done is increase the price of cheap greens.

    Thank you , Dan.

    The Obamas sitting pretty in their million dollar mansion, while Michelle whines about paying $10,000 for her daughters’ dance lessons on a half a million dollar salary…..

    Somehow Americans aren’t going to give a rat’s ass about “advice” from those two.

    Good Lord. The man is an idiot.

    White facepaint, green hair, and we’ll have the Joker as a nominee.

    The laughingstock of the world, too.

    No what he is saying is PREPARE yourselves because if I get elected I plan to give everything to Africa through his little “plan” so you better get used to going without.

    Let em eat arugula!

  • beebop

    Yeah well, they only wish she was as stupid as he is. It would be so much easier to find fault with her, but they can’t so it has to be that she is the anti-Barack in all ways, right?

  • Ellen Tenn

    otherlisa- I agree with you. We bought a Prius because the gas prices were getting too high. We have decided as a family not to eat out as much and do small things to help the environment. That is why I support Hillary. We are lucky that we could afford to buy the car and make the changes we could. Not everyone can. That is why I support Hillary. She can turn something that is a negative into a positive. New jobs, green buildings, new ways to heat our homes. She has the answers we need. Go Hillary!

    The problem with Obama’s formulation is that it’s all negative

    Another, perhaps more basic, problem is that Obama is all talk but no action on everything. He lied to the Maytag workers, he let the people in Rezko’s apartments freeze, he watered down the nuclear regulatory bill (which didn’t pass anyway). So critiquing these great ideas he steals from other people is just an exercise in futility. He would actually only do what Rezko, Ayers or the energy industry executives tell him to.

  • troll free zone

    yes. Obama has a tin ear, and can’t hear anyone’s voices. All he can do is try to read the score off the page. And we all know what that sounds like.

    Omigosh……just a personal story. My very bright kid who always underperformed?

    That was my joke to him when I was an insensitive nagging mom.

    I used to say, “Well, don’t worry. We’ll get you into McDonald’s University and come to see you at the fry-off.”
