Obama Dean Scream Redux

By SusanUnPC on June 7, 2008 at 2:30 AM in Barack Obama, Howard Dean

Barack Obama rife with arrogance brings us his version of the Dean Scream. Let the games begin! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhh!

That is a clip created by V, and posted at his V4Hill channel:

  • hillarysmygirl

    That’s priceless! What an arrogant jerk! Thanks for the clip, V, that was great. Wouldn’t it be nice if that were BO’s Dean Scream moment?

    • dugan49

      Some things are just stupid, and comparing this to Dean’s meltdown is stupid. Obama was at an outdoor rally in an open plaza and he raised his voice to cheerlead for the Chicago Olympic bid. What was he supposed to do, whisper?

      • kijh

        Yes.

        • standard

          Thank God, he lost!
          He was my hero. I used to wear his “Dean for President” sweatshirt.
          Now I’m planning to burn it, and put the burning up on YouTube.

          Dean wanted to “Take back our country” for the voters in ’04.
          In ’08, he stole it from the voters.

      • Daryl

        I don’t get the comparison. Didn’t hear anything over the top with what Obama said. He raised his voice slightly for emphasis on the last sentence. That’s nowhere near the ballpark of the Dean scream.

      • drkate

        Obama is such an arrogant prick. He doesn’t have the nomination. I can’t wait until he limps into Denver and HRC is nominated from the floor.

        Obama doesn’t scream, he BARKS.

        Arrogant prick.

      • jjran

        How can you scream about your second term in office when you haven’t even won the GE for the first term yet. Told you before .. .. this just goes to tell you how arrogent this sob is…. What happpen to the American flag? How come we are being subjected to watch him scream in the front of the flags of the world? Is he now running for the UN presidency or the US. Remember there is a big difference between the two. He might win the UN presidency but not US if the 18 millions of us have something to say about it. Arrongent bastard… And how come the Nation of Islam bodygurad is now standing next to him. What happenned to the SS of USA…? Wake up people look at all the signs around him…. this slimy peice of shit is a phony…..Make sure the DNC pays for this selected nominee….

  • hillaryfighter

    Creepy Dean, botox Pelosi, Anti-America waffles… Geez.

    • Hillary’sSimplytheBest

      Pelosi laughs like a hyena on drugs, he he he … he he he … too much botox I guess …

  • Harley

    Just wanted to thank you for using your alias for the racist posts, and Susan for the stupid ones. Helps separate the rhetorical wheat from the chaff.

  • JB

    Those of you worried about SCOTUS really oughta reconsider the wisdom of having this arrogant fool in the WH for the next 8 years.

    Truly an Obamanation.

  • typical.white.person

    WOW! He’s already saying he will be wrapping up his second term in 2016 and he hasn’t won his first term yet. Obama, The Chosen Omnipotent One

    What a fucking arrogant SOB

  • Uppity

    What’s with the nose wiping? snort snort?

    • beebop

      Gee … wasn’t the finger to the cheek the inadvertent movement he “always” makes? Has anyone seen him do it seen it flashed it at Hillary?

    • http://deleted Caya

      My husband and I got a real good laugh from this video and when it ended we both thought the same thing. What’s with the nose? Maybe he got back home to Chicago and scored a hit.

      • http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com TexasDarlin

        I didn’t notice the nose thing but I did think he seemed high.

        Just bein’ honest

      • Judith

        I noticed that, too. But I thought it was because that he does not truly believe he will be President in 2016. People sometimes touch their noses when they tell lies.

        But what a hoot!!! LMAO!!! Dean scream, indeed!

  • Kinky Ogremann

    If you watched the last few minutes of his speech on Tuesday night – you’ll notice he was screaming at the crowd that entire time! This was quite a stark contrast to McCain’s and Hillary’s speech – of the calm, composed, witty, intelligent behavior. I guess Obama’s what happens when your crowd just came from voting for American Idol. His audience reminds me of that little girl who cried when Sanjaya sang. Sanjaya had no talent and neither does Obama. No more false idols! Hillary or McCain – no other option.

  • Faye

    Instead of using only words, and tapes. Begin the pragmatic act of cutting
    Obama’s money supply. BOYCOTT OPRAH. Attention all PUMA’S. OPRAH
    started the wave, and it is time to send hit her pocketbook.

    • cc

      I’d love to but I never watch oprah..other than that how can I boycott her? I don’t buy any books that she recommends.

    • EyesOpen

      Totally agree re Oprah. Turn your dials, cancel your magazine subscriptions.

      • Kathy

        I stopped watching Oprah when she introduced Obama to the nation. I stopped watching Obama when Oprah appeared with him in South Carolina.

        I don’t hate Obama. I feel sad for Obama.

        The bottom line is he is not a good, experienced, knowledgeable candidate for president of this country. I don’t care how many times Kerry tells me how wonderful he is. I am not stupid. I know when I am listening to an empty suit. He has done NOTHING in his 46 years to distinguish himself in Chicago, or the US, or the world. His only claim to fame is that he is half white and half black. Apparently, that is now a prerequisite to become president of the United States.

        We seem to be going backwards gang. What is holding us back? We are intelligent, loving humans but we can’t seem to move ourselves forward. We pick stupid people to do our most important work. I just look at the Congress and cringe. We haven’t learned a thing from history or religion.

        What is it going to take to form a more perfect union?

    • http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com TexasDarlin

      I cut off Oprah back in January.

    • jjran

      I agree… STAY AWAY FROM OPRAH SHOW……DON’T WATCH THE OPRAH SHOW….. Obama was marketed through Ophra like a pill for depression. Now all the depressed morons who have taken the pill mixed with Kool-Aid are worshiping the messiah. NO to Oprah Show and No to Obama.

      • http://noquarterusa.net/ SusanUnPC

        That’s truly well-put. Or one of her bulls–t new-age baloney religious shows.

    Give this megalomaniac enough rope & he WILL castrate himself… (with the help of his wife of course…)

    Excuse me now; I have to go puke.

    • karen for Clinton

      Larouche is just one of many helping to out the deception. This has been one hell of a swindle.

      Excuse me, Mr. Dean, we want our party back NOW.

      We can have it now or we can have it when it becomes clear across the country what you have done.

      I think we all need to educate ourselves on Soros.

      Thank you.

    I don’t mind the joke about 2016. That’s only typical arrogant braggart/gangsta humour from the black community. What I do not like is his reference to mayor Daley of the Chicago criminal political mafia. That is teh suck.

    We all know how corrupt the Daley dynasty is. A Russian girl in here recently said she got Stalinistic flashbacks when she was in Chicago. Expected to see a framed glossy of the pig on every wall in every room in the city.

    The Daley machine crooks have never before endorsed a presidential candidate. They rig elections for people who pay but they never endorse. This time was different. For the Daley machine crooks were in trouble: there’d risen a black reform challenger through the ranks – a lady who was after the mayoral job, who wanted to gut the monster that is Chicago corruption, and she was popular and perceived as a very real threat.

    So Daley contacted Barry. And for months they met – somewhat in secret – in Daley’s offices in Chicago. Chit chat, chit chat. Quid pro quo discussions. The end result?

    - Daley comes out and endorses Barry.
    - Barry comes out and endorses Daley as a candidate of reform.

    Barry has a price tag on him for anything at all. Thus seeing the jerk slip in the name of his fellow crook here – it’s very calculated and it’s very crooked and to me it’s simply another corroboration of how scum Barry is. For there is no one but no one who doesn’t believe Daley and his goons are crooked as anything. But what Daley, Axelrod, and Barry are doing here is the old ‘big lie’ trick: repeat a lie often enough and guess what? Barry will keep dropping references to Daley all along and the next thing you know Winston Smith is going to shout ‘long live Big Brother’.

    And to me it’s that which is truly sickening.

        you are a worthless pig and TYPICAL of all the horrific obama supporters I have met on the campaign trail.

        Obama is the titanic. His maiden voyage is doomed and Hillary is the lifeboat.

        All aboard.

        BTW – Hillary’s website will be streaming her speech today at noon time – live.

  • Ivory Bill Woodpecker

    Larry, can Blowbama’s comments please be deleted? His kind of ignorant racist rantings make the rest of us look bad.

    • karen for Clinton

      It is an obamatroll using that filth to try to smear the site. Yhey come here under dozens of names and keep repeating idiotic jibberish.

      Go back to kos you blow hard filthy instigator.

    obviously Blowbama is an Obama troll trying to make this site seem like it is full of racists. I’m happy to set you straight though. If you want to find someplace where rampant racism is encouraged, you will have to go to TUCC. We do NOT put up with it!

    • karen for Clinton

      ha, I didn’t see your post and just typed the same thing.

      I was thinking of adding that THEY are the sexists and racists and filth mongers.

      His obamaminions are low class children who have no idea of history.

  • MaryPat

    As someone said, this guy didn’t just wheeze across the finish line, he was carried over on a stretcher by Dean, Pelosi, Brazille, etc. And already he’s assuming he’ll be elected, and then re-elected?

    His arrogance is going to turn people off in droves as the campaign progresses. By the time November rolls around, voters will be tripping over each other to get to the polls and support McCain, just to get Barry off the national stage.

    Of course, I’m still hopeful some big, fat skeleton will fall out of his closet before August. Maybe by 2016 he’ll be finishing up his jail term.

    • karen for Clinton

      Yep, when I saw this clip the first thing I though was that is going to backfire bigtime.

      His arrogance and the way he says everything and what he says is clearly unpresidential.

      Keep playing it, it is an opposition fundraiser.

      That’s almost as good as a GOP ad.

  • Nettie

    Second term? Not even a FIRST if I can help it.

  • pastormaker

    Don’t worry, guys. There’s no way a troll like Blowbama could make you appear worse than you already do.

    • karen for Clinton

      Since the obamafools decided the presidency is just like some reality tv show game they didn’t bother investigating their candidate.

      You should thank us for dedicating ourselves to vetting him and for warning people of a sham man.

  • Kinky Ogremann

    The media turns FAST! Just look at this Wall Street Journal editorial that before couldn’t praise Obama fast enough – now they’re running a Karl Rove opinion piece every week!

    From WSJ “The Obama We Don’t Know”:

    “The point is not that Mr. Obama now shares the radical views of these men [Wright, Pfleger, Meeks]. The concern is that by the Senator’s own admission they have been major moral influences, and their views are starkly at odds with the candidate’s vision as a transracial peacemaker. Their patronage was also useful as Mr. Obama was making his way in Chicago politics. But only now, in the glare of a national campaign, is he distancing himself from them. The question is what in fact Mr. Obama does believe.

    The young Senator has been a supernova exploding into our politics, more phenomenon than conventional candidate. His achievement in winning the Democratic nomination has been impressive. Now comes a harder audience. The presidency has to be earned, and Americans have a right to know much more about the gifted man who is the least experienced major-party nominee in modern times.”

    Most surprising – the media calling Obama out NOW on his dubious beliefs and radical church? The same media that said this was a non-issue and that Rezko didn’t matter? In one piece they call Obama out on his beliefs, his honesty, his identity, and even his inexperience (finally!) – but all too late.

    Told ya – the media loves their golden-boy John McCain too much. And what the media giveth Obama, they quickly taketh away. Get ready for the “whitey” tape in October… and to be thoroughly educated in Black Liberation Theology and Nation of Islam by the same media that worshiped Obama.

    And guys like Olbermann, Matthews, and Russert will all too quickly renounce Obama and act like they never supported him in the first place? Me? Tingle up the leg when I hear Obama? I meant I was so disgusted with him that my leg “tingled” in anger… (get ready for the back-statements.

    • karen for Clinton

      A friend of mine who watches Fox news (I haven’t watched TV at all in many years)told me she has seen them snicker and crow many times on how they will have to run new stories every day to get it all out.

      Cavuto, Hannity etal are sitting on a mountain of cans of whoop ass and even the so called liberal media will be blasting this guy – just for ratings.

      24/7 won’t cover it ALL, so much dirt so little time.

      Obama should THANK Hillary for staying in. They won’t destroy him totally till they are sure she isn’t going to float right back to the top.

      Rise Hillary Rise – just like the phoenix.

      • POdVet

        I’ve been trying to warn Obamatons about the obvious setup by Republicans helping Obama for months. They have even had interviews with some Republicans donating to Obama who have outright said they donated to him because he will be easy to beat!

        • karen for Clinton

          and the sickening part was obama encouraged it.

          That whole “dem for a day” movement was one of his most dastardly early tricks designed to appear as the stronger candidate.

          He did it from Iowa right on through every open primary and he purposefully registered republicans for a day. Nobody with any sense thought those republicans were REALLY for ob.

          He will turn the whole map RED come November.

    Go to “HILLARY SUPPORTERS FOR JOHN MCCAIN” ….Announcement says TAPE IS REAL…they have heard parts of it……..IT IS BADDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!

    • karen for Clinton

      Michelle called Hillary a Ho. Real nice. And bashed Bill. Yep. That’s what they did infront of the entire nation on the campaign trail. Anybody surprised?

      http://hcsfjm.com/

      their front page has a few tid-bits but they have way more in the comments sections.

      Whoever is sitting on this tape is doing a real disservice to our American Electorate values.

      and that is a very convincing McCain ad too.

      Either way, Hill or Mac.

      oh and btw trolls – we are already convinced of that and were LONG before we heard of a tape.

      The tape is just icing on obama’s big crap cake.

      • cc

        I don’t know if I believe this site..waiting until a week before the election is not smart. not enough time to make enough impact if such a tape were real. believe me I hope it is…but they would never wait a week out and then release. pure stupidity.

        • cc

          reason being…because it’s VERY possible the msm will ignore the tape…just like they’ve done everything else. if that’s the case, the repubs will need to use alternative ways to get that video out.

          • karen for Clinton

            wrong. The MSM is owned by republicans.

            They have temporarily pushed obama up just to get rid of Hillary the strong candidate.

            They will then turn on obama like rabid dogs.

            They can hardly control themselves now, they’re already starting to turn.

            They know all about him – but will pretend they are Shocked to find out about his dirty HUGE secrets.

            come on.

            One photo of Gary Hart on boat.

            one photo of Dukakis in tank.

            one scream from Dean.

            one swiftboat to Kerry.

            The obamabots do not know history and are destined to repeat it.

      • audacity

        before he has the tape maybe s/he should learn some proper english, especially for the front/home page of the site

        “He want to destroy Obama, Rev Wright, and Louis Farrahkan”

  • NCgal

    I changed my registration from D to unaffiliated on Monday following the RBC heist. At this point, I’m just sitting on the sidelines trying to figure out what to do. I will NOT vote for Obama. I can’t. He’s obviously just a front man for someone, and maybe it is just corrupt Chicago BS, but I think it’s bigger than that.

    I hope Hillary just suspends her campaign and then chills for a few months. The novelty of Obama will wear off quickly, and hopefully voters will see that there is nothing of substance there. If McCain widens his lead in the polls, maybe the Dems will come to their senses and go with Hillary at the convention. I would love to see this charade by Dean/Brazille/Pelosi blow up in their faces.

    • karen for Clinton

      Yep, the Dems are bragging about the new voters they’ve registered… well what about them?

      Hillary got more votes than Ob.

      Crossover republicans for ob crossed back over.

      Hillary Dems bolted when they hijacked the party.

      we will continue to do so up till November in droves.

      They think the party grew? HA! The only party the DNC is helping is the GOP.

    • ken

      I would love to see this charade by Dean/Brazille/Pelosi blow up in their faces.

      Nothing would make me happier. The whole Obama phenomenon is like what stock traders call a “momentum play”. He’s rising because there are big money special interests bidding his price up and up. Then the suckers buy into the hype until one day the whole charade comes crashing down.

      • so saddened

        terrific analogy.

        oblowme’s a penny stock with no value behind it, hyped through the boiler rooms, rising, rising, rising, until CRASH!!! suckers who bought on the hype lose their shirts. penny stock disappears. phony hypers disappear, taking with them the money from the suckers.

        the crash will come. if not before, then on november 4.

        to those who don’t want obambi but don’t know what to do – vote mccain. all the other options (staying home, voting third party, writing in hillary, etc.) won’t help defeat obambi. the only way to defeat obambi is for mccain to have more votes than him.

  • http://Owllwoman E Stoddard

    Part of the problem with this campaign is that Obama has divided us. Young against old, Black against white, women against sexist men. And this conflict may be enough to carry him to victory. Many of the young have made this election more about getting control of the Gov. away from older Americans and retooling it to meet their needs. Much less about Obama himself, but about the needs of the young. Wonder where we fit in to their world view?

    • Banjo

      Many of the young have made this election more about getting control of the Gov. away from older Americans and retooling it to meet their needs.

      haven’t the olds ‘retooled it’ to suit their needs at the expense of the young?

      bout time the young got a few breaks!

      • beebop

    • dmd76

      Oh for fuck’s sake! Young people voting for their perceived self-interest! Will wonders never cease? As far as I can tell, one is allowed to vote when one turns 18. If people under the age of 65 see one candidate as fulfilling their needs more than another, it is their right to vote for that candidate. Absolutely, people should be voting for the candidate that retools America to meet their needs. I’m assuming that’s what you do as well when you vote. The egotistical sense of entitlement in your comment is just breathtaking.

      • karen for Clinton

        ob is McGovern all over again.

        only McCain is far less horrific than Nixon.

        and folks this is why mature educated experienced adults should not let TV watching american idol making children pick their presidents.

        • dmd76

          I see, sexism=bad, ageism=good. Since you’ve cleared that up, I believe doddering, hysterical old farts should stay home and watch reruns of CSI. They’ve had their chance to rule this country and have fucked it up royally. It’s up to us young people to clean up the mess they’ve left.

          • so saddened

            dmb76, you sound just like me in 68 and 72.

            for the history-challenged obamabots – 68 and 72 were landslide victories for nixon – the most unappealing, unattractive, despised, despicable, crooked candidate the repubs have put up in decades, so bad he ended up having to resign in his second term.

            yet somehow he beat our dem candidates with historic margins. and largely did so because of the young people’s support for the dem opponents, which was fervent and loud and impolite, just like the obamaloons of today.

            live and learn, sweetie. we did. you will.

            • Ivory Bill Woodpecker

              I would not call Nixon’s 1968 victory a landslide:

              Nixon 301 EVs
              Humphrey 191
              Wallace 46

              But his 1972 victory was:

              Nixon 520
              McGovern 17

  • http://showmestate sherri

    Speaking of Obama does anyone have facts that he did run tv ads in Florida? If so should he not be stripped of his delagates per the dnc rules.

    The sanctions will be directed at candidates who campaign in any state that refuses to follow a 2008 calendar of primaries and caucuses that was also approved Saturday. Any candidate who campaigns in a state that does not abide by the new calendar will be stripped at the party convention of delegates won in that state.

    The party adopted a broad definition of campaigning, barring candidates from giving speeches, attending party events, mailing literature or running television advertisements

    • karen for Clinton

      yep.

      what did he deserve according to the rules:

      Florida – zero votes

      Michigan – zero votes

      this is the rules.

      they did NOT follow the rules they broke them all.

  • POdVet

    The leaders of the DNC don’t care, they are solidly in the tank for Obama, thats why we have to campaign and where possible vote against them too! 3 other states violated the same rule, and they received NO punishment because Obama was polling well in those states. Only states that showed Obamessiah getting his ass kicked were punished.

    • karen for Clinton

      They gave waivers to the other states.

      the polls before primary day for obama in Michigan were that he would lose by 20% so he railroaded and made back room deals with Edwards and Richardson.

      hideous eh?

      I hope he picks one of those two for VP.

      The Judas party is going down.

  • ken

    As far as the Democratic Party elites are concerned, this primary race is over and they already forced Hillary out with the same disrepect they shown her all through the race. No way would they consider any actions that will hurt their precious pre-ordained candidate. Meanwhile, He will be coddled; He will be praised; and in no circumstance will truth and justice stand in the way. Got that folks? The left is the same hypocritical mess as the right when power corrupts and those who see it say nothing. How the hell did the Democratic Party let the Republican Party get the upper hand as the party of fairplay… in this election year under the shadow of the corrupt Bush administration?

  • nancysabet

    yes, usually when a person don’t have really that much substance to say he screams. Hillary and macCain knew what they were talking about that’s why they were calm while talking to the crowd.

  • Poor White

    More and more I see Obama talking from his heart instead of some prepared speech, I see Rev. Wright talking.

    Boy Larry,

    You and Fox news are really stretching things. But that’s what you do, Larry, you lie and you stretch the truth.

    So, have you told your readers, Larry, that the whole “Whitey” videotape was a hoax? Did you tell them that it was discovered that someone was yanking your chain?

    http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/6/6/123441/5219

    Your blog is a disgrace, Larry.

    Are you now going to admit to your readers why you kept perpetuating this “Whitey tape” hoax?

    Could it be that you’re a RACIST, Larry?

    • Poor White

      You can call all of us as typical white people. Go back to huffington post and drink some koolaid.

    Larry, I think blowbama is an Obamabot. He wants to give this site a bad name. We should be vigilant against individuals who will try their best to sabotage this site. This site should automatically filter racist or sexist remark. Also include foul language.

    Obama will be a liability to America.

    We need an all-round president like Hillary. Hillary is a proven and tested all-round president.

    Obama will have to turn to his dictionary when even encountering with a small-potato problem affecting the nation, let alone the world.

    USA will definitely be a ‘great country’ under Obamama’s reign.

    Sigh! What a great joke, Obama is fit to be the president of Boney M Bahama Mama

    Everything I do from here on out it to insure that I’m living far far far away from this city by that time.

    Last week, a zoning board rammed through a private institution (Chicago Childrens Museum) building in Grant Park. A century ago, Montgomery Ward fought a 20 year battle to ensure that the lakefront would remain for the people; “breathing room for the poor” he called it at one point.

    Mayor Daley has got a hard-on for a casino on Navy Pier (no evidence, but I’ve lived here going on 30 years and know how this crap works – it’s dysfunctional as all get out, but it works) and the Childrens Museum must move out first.

    And after that? If their dreams come true, these bastards will start encroaching on what’s left of the ‘peoples lakefront’ for their 2016 olympic circle jerk. With my money, and money of every bleeding citizen of this fucked up city paying the highest shaggin’ sales tax in the country.

    This is Chicago Politics folks. This is The Pristine Art of the Political Fuck You. It’s not about the people. Not a bit. This is the most short sighted bunch of asswipes in the country. And people want them to be in Washington.

    I’m so disgusted, I can’t even laugh at that video. And worse, I’m gonna have to hear about this damn speech from people who were there yesterday all afternoon at work.

    Say – if there’s anyone out there from Chicago who’s as disgusted by all this crap as I am, I’d love to hear from you. I’m over in Logan Square. Maybe we could join up, get some bitter coffee and go find a church to cling to. Heh.

      You’re right. The lakefront was supposed to be kept open for the people. They even called it Chicago’s front yard. God, these crooks have killed a once great and beautiful city.

        The smartest thing I did in my life was to move my family out of Chicago to California in 1987. Never regretted that decision for one second.

    McCain and women’s issues: It’s more than just Roe

    By: Steve Benen on Saturday, June 7th, 2008 at 5:30 AM – PDT

    Obviously, John McCain’s intention to move the Supreme Court even further to the right and overturn Roe is high on the list of concerns regarding women’s issues, but Scott Lemieux had a good item this week reminding us that Roe is just part of a bigger picture.

    Yes, it’s true that replacing John Paul Stevens and/or Ruth Bader Ginsburg with a Republican appointee will be bad for abortion rights, although this is likely to occur by further draining content from Casey rather than overturning Roe outright.

    But even when it comes to women’s rights, this is just the tip of the iceberg. The enforcement of civil rights protections for women is likely to be much less in a Republican administration, for example. The global gag order will remain firmly in place. And in general, four more years of a tax-cut-supporting, massive-defense-spending GOP president will not only make any kind of serious progressive reform (much of which disproportionately benefits women even if not specifically targeted to do so) virtually impossible for four more years but will also make it more difficult in the future. A McCain presidency would be very, very bad for women even if not a single Supreme Court vacancy opens up during his tenure.

    Quite right. We’re not just talking about esoteric issues like Supreme Court cases and speculative high court retirements; this is about the kind of impact McCain policies can and would have on women’s lives every day.

    As St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman, an enthusiastic Clinton backer, said this week, “You don’t spend your life fighting for women’s rights and then vote for Sen. McCain.”

    As it turns out, we can even go further on this point.

    David Greenberg, the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood in Oregon, had an especially good item this week on the subject.

    John McCain is one of only a few Senators to earn a Zero percent lifetime rating from Planned Parenthood’s Action Fund, and he only scored that high because the organization doesn’t have a lower rating…. Let’s look at his record:

    He voted against requiring health care plans to cover birth control (3/22/03).

    He voted against comprehensive, medically accurate sex education (7/25/06).

    He voted against international family planning funding (3/14/96).

    He voted against funding to prevent teen and unintended pregnancies (3/17/05).

    He voted against public education for emergency contraception (3/17/05).

    And he voted against restoring Medicaid funding that could be used for family planning for low-income women (3/17/05).

    NPR reported (2/2/08) that, “Many Republican voters seem to believe, incorrectly, that the current Republican front-runner, Arizona Senator John McCain, supports abortion rights.”

    John McCain wants us to believe that he’s a moderate who supports improving the health of women in the United States, but in fact he’s among the most extreme members of Congress who voted against common sense measures on family planning, sex education and access to basic healthcare.

    In contrast, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton agree on all of these issues.

      Thank you for sharing.

      Saw this same post yesterday in a different topic.

    • Andy

      You should have thought of all that before allowing BO to be the Democratic Nominee (he loved John Roberts in case you didn’t know)
      Too late now. Better you start praying the Senate does its job.

    • Troll Free Zone

      Obama will bring a constitutional crisis that will threaten the authority of the supreme court. he is that arrogant and that stupid and that power hungry.
      By the way, which liberal justice plans on dying in the next four years? Or do you even know who sits on the court? I’m guessing you don’t.

    Thanks for the sour grapes.

    You still lost.

    • drkate

      no, we didn’t lose. HRC retains her integrity, Obama does not. He is a wounded, ineffective candidate with a big asterisk on his back. I don’t want another arrogant prick in the whitehouse–oblahblah is just like bush!

      Obama has not won in the court of public opinion.

    • Andy

      The DNC lost; it lost almost everything you can imagine.

      JDR–by all means, gloat all you can, while you can.

      Because I don’t think you’ll feel like gloating on Wed. Nov. 5. :)

    To Barak Obama and the DNC

    Remember, Remember the Vote in November -

    If Hilary’s not on the ticket

    T’will be a cold day in Hell in frosty December

    When I give you my vote; you can stick it.

    I’m happy someone finally brought this up. One very important thing, I can NOT stand listening to Obama. He gives me an absolute headache with his non stop YELLING. IT”S LIKE HE HAS TO TYPE EVEYRTHING IN BOLD LETTERS, not just the occasional HIGHLIGHT. He does this to over come his vagueness and lack of susbanstance, to sound authoritarian (learned by Rev Wright), which plays in to his condescending attitude. Anytime he doesn’t have his teleprompter, he sounds like a babling empty suit.

    And, a presiency isn’t giviing these pre written speeches. (Another W Bush with his cheerleading megaphone)….we will be graced with Question and answer session of “I want to acknowledge all our fallen soldiers and I see many of them sitting here before me”-Obama

  • tom

    How dare the negro raise his voice and show enthusiasm like that? Methinks he’s getting a little uppity. Black people like Obama need to be told to go to the back of the bus, where they belong.

    • Ivory Bill Woodpecker

      Ah yes, the classic Oborg trope–”if you don’t want Obama to be President, you must be a racist”.

      Yawn.

      Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt.

      Get some new material, trolls.

      • tom

        I have no idea what you’re talking about. I feel that Obama is a very dangerous black man who will behave like a thug in office… I mean, just look at the track record of black leaders like Idi Amin and Robert Mugabe – obviously, the negro race is unqualified to be in power. This is a real fear that many Americans have, and we applaud Larry Johnson for not buying into the PC spin and continuing his efforts to stop this Luo Muslim from winning the Presidency.

  • Ivory Bill Woodpecker

    Stop that, Blowbama. You’re embarrassing me.

  • beebop

    It is amazing that you are using the name of both a country and a river in Africa as though they were curse words … thus revealing yourself as an obama troll … how very very stupid and yet, funny at the same time. Thanks for demonstrating — as not one of Hillary’s supporter’s could — how stupid you are as a group and how low you are willing to go individually.
