Hostility, Angriness and Arrogance Are Anything But Unifying

Obama partisans should take a lesson or two in civility if they desire the support of Hillary Clinton’s 18,000,000 voters. Last night an unruly crowd of Obama supporters indecorously heckled Governor Jennifer Granholm, who mentioned Hillary during her introduction of Barack Obama before the audience of the “Unity Rally” that took place in Detroit, Michigan. I quote:

Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm received a deafening chorus of boos Monday night at her mention of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the candidate Granholm once backed for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The jeering from thousands of Obama supporters at Joe Louis Arena came after Granholm acknowledged her support of Clinton, and they seemed to take her aback. “Come on now,” the governor pleaded before finally continuing, “I’m proud to say I’m standing with her and all of you” in supporting Obama.



This behavior is anything but unifying. In fact, it is belligerent, aggressive and in my opinion the intended product of the campaign of coordinated vicious personal attacks Axelrod and Obama waged against Senator Clinton.

But there is more. Yes, believe it or not, there is more. According to today’s edition of the Congressional Quarterly, Obama has insulted Latina lawmakers by assuming he does not need to meet with them individually in order to gain their support. I quote:

The presumed Democratic presidential nominee got the cold shoulder from Latina lawmakers Tuesday as he began a three-day campaign to shore up Capitol Hill support after an arduous primary season.

Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois huddled with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) at the offices of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). But only one of the six Hispanic congresswomen who are Democrats, longtime Obama backer Rep. Linda T. Sánchez of California, attended the meeting, in which members gathered in a semicircle around Obama.

The men in the CHC said scheduling conflicts were to blame for the absence of Latinas who had backed Obama’s primary rival, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York. But that was not true in all cases.

“They called to set up a call,” said Rep. Loretta Sanchez , D-Calif., who had spoken on the House floor earlier in the day. “I said, ‘He can come over and see me.’ ”

Obama began calling Hispanic congresswomen last week after they first made their displeasure with his inattention to them known.

Since then, Obama’s campaign has had contact with the offices of Loretta Sanchez as well as Hilda L. Solis and Grace F. Napolitano , also from California.

The Latinas’ reluctance to get behind Obama reflects the challenges he faces in uniting Democrats. They were important surrogates for Clinton both in and beyond their congressional districts, and they could provide vital help to Obama, too.

Presuming one enjoys the support of a group of Congresswomen who represent a constituency who rejected one’s candidacy by a margin of approximately 35 points is the height of arrogance. Perhaps Obama neglects to remember how these elected officials are more interested in serving the voters instead of stroking the ego of a career politician who exploited the voters of the state of Illinois for personal, political and financial gain. If Obama sincerely desires the votes of Latinos, Latinas and Catholics, he needs to earn our votes, not arrogantly assume he has them already secured. To quote Loretta Sanchez: “He needs to come over and see [us].” This also includes his vile and undisciplined supporters.

Hissing at Clinton supporters while taking their votes for granted is anything but unifying. But this is the modus operandi of the Obama campaign. While it may be the juggernaut of change in which many low information devotees blindly and mindlessly believe, it is also the change Clinton supporters will roundly reject when we cast informed votes for other candidates in November.

  • Madam DeFarge

    Do you think, maybe, Al finally “got it”?

  • http://home.comcast.net/~vincep312 Vince P

    On a blog that’s on the UK paper,The Telegraph, they have some of their reporters here in America that contribute. They’re obviously in the bag for Obama. So I wrote the following to them as a criticism that they have totally shut down their brain.
    Now if you take what I said and add it to what Larry has said in many of his postings.. If you put it all together, I got a chill that went from my toe to my head…

    I was reading a Mark Steyn article about Obama .. and I think this part distills this election down to its essense. Here he is talking about Obama’s speech after the last primary:

    BEGIN QUOTE
    (Mark Steyn:) By the time he wrapped up his “victory” speech last week, the great gaseous uplift had his final paragraphs floating in delirious hallucination along the Milky Way:
    “I face this challenge with profound humility and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people … . I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal … . This was the moment – this was the time – when we came together to remake this great nation.”
    It’s a good thing he’s facing it with “profound humility,” isn’t it? Because otherwise who knows what he’d be saying. But mark it in your calendars: June 3, 2008 – the long-awaited day, after 232 years, that America began to provide care for the sick. Just a small test program: 47 attendees of the Obama speech were taken to hospital and treated for nausea.
    Everyone else came away thrilled that the Obamessiah was going to heal the planet and reverse the rise of the oceans: When Barack wants to walk on the water, he doesn’t want to have to use a stepladder to get up on it. There are generally two reactions to this kind of policy proposal. The first was exemplified by the Atlantic Monthly’s Marc Ambinder:
    “What a different emotional register from John McCain’s; Obama seems on the verge of tears; the enormous crowd in the Xcel Center seems ready to lift Obama on its shoulders; the much smaller audience for McCain’s speech interrupted his remarks with stilted cheers.”
    The second reaction boils down to: “‘Heal the planet’? Is this guy nuts?” To be honest I prefer a republic whose citizenry can muster no greater enthusiasm for their candidate than “stilted cheers” to one in which the crowd wants to hoist the nominee onto their shoulders for promising to lower ocean levels within his first term. As for coming together “to remake this great nation,” if it’s so great, why do we have to remake it? A few months back, just after the New Hampshire primary, a Canadian reader of mine – John Gross of Quebec – sent me an all-purpose stump speech for the 2008 campaign:
    “My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you’ll join with me as we try to change it.”
    END QUOTE

    I’m in the “Is this guy nuts” category. It’s amazing to me how reporters are being struck down in awe and adoration for Obama. I think to myself.. just how gullible are these people that they’re falling for this charalton.
    Use your brains people.. how could someone whose entire political history consists of associating with Nation of Islam, Marxists, Far Left Terrorists, the most corrupt politicians in Chicago/Cook County/State of Illinois, Communists, Pro-HAMAS Palestinians, Black Liberation Theology (fusion of mutant Christianity and Latin American Marxism)/Deranged Catholic Priests
    and think this guy has been Mr. Hope and Change!
    You’re being manipulated by masters of PR.
    And you’re lapping it up.
    If the United States is great now.. why does Obama keep emphasising he wants RE make it?
    We’re great because we didn’t go the European way. We’re great because we explicitly REJECTED European ways. Europe is in its last throws, WW-I has started a process which has resulted in a culture that is on the road to Cultural and Demographic Suicide.
    America must not be remade.

  • Ellen Tenn

    Wake up Obama supporters! Obama does need Hillary supporters votes, booing hillary is not the way to win them.

  • Ash McG

    Almost hard to believe that he has a six-point lead over McCain in the polls (larger than Kerry ever got) and current statistical predictions show that the odds are the same between Obama getting 375 electoral votes and McCain winning at all.

  • jharp

    From http://www.fivethirtyeight.com

    “A little more than two months ago, I ran through a scenario that predicted what might happen if half of the Hillary Clinton Democrats who said they were going to vote for John McCain instead gravitated back to Barack Obama. The prediction was that the so-called “unity bounce” would be worth 4-5 points to Obama in the popular vote, bringing him northward of 320 electoral votes and making him roughly a 3 to 1 favorite to win the election.”

    “That is almost exactly where we have Barack Obama’s numbers after a series of new polls from Quinnipiac. In Pennsylvania, Obama leads by 12 points — up from 6 last month. His Ohio lead is 6 points — he had trailed McCain by 4 points before. And then there is Florida, where Quinnipiac has Obama ahead by 4 points. Barack Obama has never before led a Florida poll — not against John McCain, nor against Hillary Clinton — so this is something of a watershed moment.”

    Muslim women were barred from a picture at an Obama event. Female Muslim supporters were told, “because of the political climate in the world, it’s not good to be seen on TV or associated with Obama.”

  • Darryl

    It doesn’t suprise me. Obama’s campaign was ran on anti-clinton haters. Thats why the press keeps bringing her up. If she ever falls out of the picture, Obama actually has to stand on his own. In other words he looses his immage as the canidate that was NOT clinton.

  • Madam DeFarge

    till after the convention.

  • Anonymous

    He is the exact opposite of his PR.

  • Mandelay

    Yet they keep it up … I guess they feel they don’t need us. And, if we stay home on Election Day, or vote for another candidate who has no impact on Obama’s chances, we just might prove them right. Make sure your vote counts on Election Day — to defeat Barack Obama and the DNC.

  • Denise

    http://patriotroom.com/?p=436

    why is this not reported in main stream media?

  • Susan1968

    The answer is simple:

    If reporters are objective about Obama and actually attempt to vett him, they’ll be called racist.

    That’s the failsafe for the Obama campaign.

    “If you’re against us you’re racist.”

    In so many covert ways the Obama campaign and all its surrogates uses this excuse to evade any scrunity.

    If you question Obama’s health plan — you’re racist.

    If you question why he voted present over 200 times — you’re racist.

    If you question his long involvement with Rev.Wright — you’re racist.

    If you question his shady Real Estate deal with Rezko — you’re racist.

    They have used this to not only manipuate voters’ ‘white guilt’ but to also control the press.

    The subtext of the race startegy employed by the Obama campain is:

    “Vote for Obama and you are absolved of your racism.”

    And the press has fallen for it.

  • LindaA1

    I was always told that you could tell what the owner of a business was like by looking at his employees. Apparently, it goes both ways.

    Barack Obama is a political thug – vengeful, immature, untruthful, radical, far-left, arrogant and the slickest politician this country has seen in my (long) lifetime.

    One has to spend but a few minutes in the comment section of any block to suffer the insufferable behavior of his supporters.

    The deplorable behavior at the “Unity” event does not surprise anybody. Let’s hope it keeps up. Let’s hope it gets worse.

    PERHAPS THEN PEOPLE WILL GET A BELLY FULL OF THIS PETULENT KID IN A CANDY STORE and his pitiful posse.

    I would vote for a brick to keep this jerk out of the presidency.

    I personally don’t see how anyone who supported Hillary could ever vote for Obama. When he labeled the Clinton’s as racists it was over for me then. How can anyone not take it personal, when this man called the person who represented your vote a Biggot! He may not have said it directly, but when the press and his campaign staff was implying it, he sat back and did nothing to come to her defense time and time again. This is called Lack of character–no Integrity.

    By him smearing my representative, he therefore said that I wasn’t capable of making character choices. He insulted me by doing so. Now you can sit back and try to paint colorfull roses on him, but I believe as hillary does—actions speak louder than words.

    Every European nation has a negative fertility rate within the population that is natively/ethnically European. Many of them have rates around 1.1. That means the next generation will be about 1/2 the size of the present one.

    The only groups of people in Europe that are contributing to the population growth are immigrant Muslims and 2 or 3rd Generation Muslims.

    Europe is quickly being Islamized.

    Just add this incident to the growing list of what I like to term “purposeful alienation”.

    They are intent upon their mission to completely destroy the Clinton Wing of the Democratic Party. Bill knows it, Hillary knows it, and many of us know it.

    She will appear with Obama because she and her two-time elected husband are political survivors.

    What remains to bee seen is if BHO is.

    Let the games begin! I know who I’m betting on.

  • http://deleted AnninCa

    This is the tone of Obama supporters whether on the blogs or in real life. One of my friends works for a law firm. The lawyers were all for Hillary. There were 2 Obama supporters, but they were so obnoxious and vocally bullying about their politics that the lawyers all told their staff to NOT reveal whom they supported. They didn’t want the grief in the workplace.

    The division is sharp between the two groups. It’s not going away.

    I still say he will lose between 30 and 40 percent of traditional Dems.

    Current polls are showing above 20% will vote for McCain, and another 17% plan to either stay home.

    In addition, I believe that he’ll have a hard time keeping the youth motivated to vote.

    Latino congresspeople made their feelings known today. He snubbed them. Nobody showed up as a result to his meeting except one Latina from CA. The rest skipped his meeting.

    So the trolls can quote all they want from paid pollsters, but there’s a lotta trouble brewing for the Dems.

    The story that needs to get out is how the DNC meeting went and how this election was rigged by leaders who pretended to be neutral.

    That’s the story that Hillary cannot and must not talk about. Only her supporters can get that message out.

    Many of my normal friends who didn’t follow the story have no idea why Clinton backers are mad. They think it’s all about the sexism.

    Wrong.

    It’s all about the process.

    BO and his DUNC should skip the unity meme.

    At the risk of being accused of being a racist…..

    I was at the Detroit rally and the overall crowd, quite naturally, was about 85% African-American. However, inside the roped-off staging area – the crowd was 75 to 85% white. This, of course, was for the television cameras.

    Why do they have to “stage” Obama in front of a group of whites?

    And why does no one in the media mention this obvious bit of racial stage crafting?

  • jbjd

    I learned about the Holocaust when I was very young. I recall thinking that, Adolph Hitler could not have killed millions of people on his own; it took thousands to kill millions. And most of them did this by just standing by. Both by his direct acts – for example, the “finger” – and his acquiescence, Senator Obama created the environment that, even now, evinces “boos” from his disciples at the mere mention of Senator Clinton’s name. This is why I teach my teenage son that, how any man treats any woman, is how that man treats me. And this, in part, is why I will never vote for this man to be the President of the United States.

  • anon

    Fibonacci Regulates the Occurrence of Landmark Political-Equality Events

    Everyone recognizes the historical significance of the current U.S. election: A man partially of African-American heritage is the presumptive Presidential nominee of the Democratic Party, and a woman received (though by a disputed calculation) the largest popular vote for any Presidential nominee in U.S. history.

    These historic events piqued our interest, and some quick research turned up the following data concerning some of the most important measures ever adopted in the United States with respect to the social recognition of equal political status:

    * The thirteen original colonies of the U.S. were declared independent of Great Britain in 1776, courtesy of the Declaration of Independence—233 years before the next president will be inaugurated in 2009.
    * Slavery was officially abolished and prohibited in 1865, courtesy of the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution—144 years before the next president will be inaugurated in 2009.
    * Women won the voting privilege in 1920, courtesy of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution—89 years before the next president will be inaugurated in 2009.
    * Brown vs. Board of Education, the most important Supreme Court decision outlawing school segregation, occurred in 1954, 55 years before 2009.

    .

    It is perhaps of some note that American society gave the vote to African-American men (1870) before giving it to women (1920) and that Congress ratified the 13th and 15th amendments more quickly than it did the 19th amendment. These precedents suggest that the U.S. is more likely to choose an African-American male president before it does a female president.

    Along those lines, if the general election is close and Mississippi is the deciding state, the country likely will vote in John McCain. Mississippi was the last to ratify two of these crucial amendments— the 19th in 1984 and the 13th in 1995.

    Obama Incorporated, struck their first blow in fracturing the Democratic Party when they called Bill Clinton a racist.

    In their zeal to yank AA votes away from the Clintons in South Carolina, they pulled the diritiest of tricks: slandering Bill Clinton, the first president who made landmark appointments of African Americans to positions of power.

    They didn’t care — they had to turn AA voters against the Clintons.

    But they underestimated how much this strategy alienated the rest of Clinton supporters.

    Bill Clinton did a lot for southern AAs, especially in the court system, for the first time in history he appointed AA it judges in the south to bring some fairness to a judicial system skewed against southerm minorities

    I repeat — for the first time in history, Bill Clinton appointed African American judges to the bench in Southern States.

    Bill didn’t care that it made him unpopular with white bigots — he rejected their votes to DO THE RIGHT THING for African Americans.

    Twelve years later, many of the same AA politicians who were helped by Bill, dare to call him a racist.

    Many of us were turned off to Obama, Inc., at that moment.

    The horror of that slander against the Clintons will not be forgotten.

    You lost us forever.

    Because certain people already believe he is a muslim. If they sat muslim people behind him, this would only bring that image up again. The real point to the story is that he is manipulating the picture. He has an image he wants you to see. Why the false image, that is the question that must be asked, but it never will be. Untill people turn off the news and start forming opinion based off of critical analysis instead of opinions and image, america will continue to fall.

    When I see poll figures like these, I think of 30 Rock when Liz (Tina Fey) said, paraphrasing, “There is an 80 percent chance that I will tell my friends that I’m voting for Obama, but secretly vote for McCain.”

    How many secret McCain voters are out there? Folks afraid to say in the presence of company that they will not vote for Obama in the GE?

    This is especially true since a lot of Obama followers can become downright hostile when confronted with dissenting opinions.

    In this political climate, a lot of Dems simply do not want to lose friends…they tell the pollster what they have to, but come November…

    It is becoming very clear that Barky loathes white women (bitches!) and all those who associate themselves with us, let alone have the temerity to prefer a white woman to His Little Princeliness. During the primary we heard an awful lot about Senator Clinton’s “pathological lying.” I suggest that if you want to see a florid example of psychopathology acted out in public, you take a gander at Barky-O’s behavior.

    If you can stand it.

    I wish one of them would have the balls to risk, and simply tell the truth, and say “I”m standing by the American people, Obama is a sham.”

  • ginaswo still says no to Uhhbama

    yes like the exit polls upon which the idjits at the RBS DNC based their theft of Hillary dels, the exit polls always show much higher numbers for Uhhbama than the actual votes
    people are sick of media in the tank and say yeah sure I voted for Uhhbama, gotta go now, but in the booth they voted for America, for Hillary..

    imagine the GE..

    LOL!!!

  • navyvet48

    If Obama sincerely desires the votes of Latinos, Latinas and Catholics, he needs to earn our votes, not arrogantly assume he has them already secured. To quote Loretta Sanchez: “He needs to come over and see [us].” This also includes his vile and undisciplined supporters.

    I agree with Sanchez. He needs to come over and see them not the other way around! Whether he is seen as “the leader of the Democratic Party” or not he is still a very junior Senator. He needs to show respect for them. He seems unable to do that though. His arrogance won’t allow him to realize he is the presumptive nominee until August.

    I have been saying he needs to earn respect to earn my vote for 16 months now. He has done nothing to earn my vote. I will not stand up for someone who disses McCain’s Naval service to this country. I will not stand up for someone who threw me under the bus…I cling to my Bible(s), my gun(s) and my rural ways. I love the dirt road I live on. And I will not stand up for someone who makes me cry. I cried twice in the last few months when I watched LBJs biography on his Civil Rights days. And I will not stand up for someone who insults Hillary supporters or who stands with the MSM, laughing while they get away with their sexism and mysogyny.

    Millions of Afircan Americans felt betrayed by the Bill’s comments the day of the SC primary. Not because the media told them to, but because they were genuinely offended. I live in SC and work and talk with people everyday who shake their head in disgust over what you call “slander”.

  • http://deleted AnninCa

    What Obama underestimated is that there ARE alot of Clinton Democrats.

    LOL*

    I think he miscalculated that one badly. He didn’t pay attention to the popularity polls and, instead, was listening to Washington insider talk.

    He pissed off a lot of people.

    BUT…..I don’t think that’s where the problem is on unity, anyway. The problem is that he’s just another liberal elite who will never win over the more conservative Dems.

    Again…….

    And he’s got some other problems on top of that. Latinos, mad women, Jews……

    They are going to be spending a lot of money on polls to try to hide this truth for awhile. :)

    “How many secret McCain voters are out there? Folks afraid to say in the presence of company that they will not vote for Obama in the GE?

    “This is especially true since a lot of Obama followers can become downright hostile when confronted with dissenting opinions.”

    Yup. Count me as a secret Hillary supporter who plans to vote for McCain. I live in a state that went for Barky-O in the primary, and I work among the pod people. Pollsters get the real skinny from me, particularly when they call on behalf of Barky. But in social situations I’ve never expressed my preference, because I saw early on where this was going. All along I’ve told everyone, including the dearly beloved, that I have no interest in hearing about the campaign. They get the message after the fifth or sixth time you get up and leave the room when the topic comes up.

    Yes, I’m a chicken. No, it’s not worth arguing about, particularly because you can’t argue with those people. Thank heaven for forums like this.

  • Hope Floats

    I haven’t seen any evidence of that. I felt safest with Clinton in the race, because the Clintons by hook or by crook got their own power, took care of the little people and still delivered for their own benefactors, as well. I trusted their judgment, and I remember the Clinton years. I have not seen this evidence of McCain’s corruption that you speak of. The domestic chaos that could occur under an Obama presidency means he is the first to get voted off the island. He is risky and untrustworthy. McCain cannot do too much harm during one term, and Clinton can run again in 2012. My mind is made up to vote for McCain unless Hillary is the nominee.

    Two Muslim women at Barack Obama’s rally in Detroit on Monday were barred from sitting behind the podium by campaign volunteers seeking to prevent the women’s headscarves from appearing in photographs or on television with the candidate.

  • http://OTliesvideo Lyn

    This part is interesting , why do the Obama people lie so easily with things that can be proven as lies so easily?

    After recovering from the shock of the incident, Abdelfadeel went to look for the volunteer and confronted her minutes later, she said in an e-mail interview with Politico.

    “We’re not letting anyone with anything on their heads like baseball [caps] or scarves sit behind the stage,” she paraphrased the volunteer as saying, an account Marino confirmed. “It has nothing to do with your religion!”

    In most work and school settings, religious dress — such as Jewish yarmulkes, Sikh turbans, Muslim hijabs — is permitted where secular clothing like baseball caps is not.

    “The scarf is not just something she can take off — it’s part of her identity,” said Marino.

    Photographs of the event also show men with hats in the section behind Obama and former Vice President Al Gore, though not directly behind the candidate.

    Abdelfadeel, like Aref, felt “disappointed, angry and let-down,” she later wrote.

  • McCain Not Hussein

    I am a conservative Republican and evangelical Christian. I never thought I would be supporting Hillary Clinton, for anything, but I switched my party affiliation, from Republican to independent, so I could vote for her in the NC primary. I saw right through Obama from the beginning, and I saw Hillary as the better choice. As the primaries progressed, my respect for her grew, to the point where I was leaning toward her in the GE. Now, I am firmly in the McCain camp.

    I want to offer my commendations to sights, like this one, that expose the truth about this liar Obama and what he stands for. My fear is that no one seems to care. Did anyone see the Quinnipiac polls? Obama is now ahead in Florida? What the hell are these people thinking??? We need more grass roots efforts, like this one, to take this guy down. The general public seems to be clueless, as we head toward President Barack Hussein Obama. Wright, Pflager, Hamas, Michelle, bitter – none of it seems to matter.

    Personally, the charisma and charm of this guy (which is so superficial) have me wondering if this guy is going to play second fiddle to the coming antichrist, who is supposed to come from Europe. Obama would make the perfect Henchmen for the antichrist. Watch the “nice guy” persona turn to madman, in a heartbeat, once Obama gets the word to move.

    Well, there is my rant. I have been reading this site for several weeks. After seeing those polls, for Florida, Ohio, and PA, earlier today, I was deeply distraught. At least this site gives me an outlet to vent those frustrations. Whether you agree or disagree with me, I thank this site for affording me this outlet.

    Come back in 2012 Hillary – this country desperately needs you. This is one conservative, evangelical Republican fully converted to your side.

  • http://deleted AnninCa

    I suspect that poll is way plumped up. Another poll has McCain up by 11 points in FL. That’s too big of a spread to make sense.

    In fact, FL numbers were when I looked and thought: phony poll here.

    It could possibly be the bump we all expected. Possibly.

    McCain has to get his own platform out there. It’s definitely not suppose to be a McCain win, but I think he could win if he focuses on a moderate platform.

    If I were him, I’d use that word over and over and over. The conservative Republicans aren’t ever going to like him, but he’s got their vote anyway. He can expand the party’s demographics here by truly going after moderate-to-conservative Democrats, who definitely do not like Obama.

    He could win. But he needs to be pounding out a moderate message.

    If you look at the full quote he called them racists SEVERAL times.

    OBAMA: “So, it depends on where you are, but I think it’s fair to say that the places where we are going to have to do the most work are the places where people feel most cynical about government. The people are mis-appre…I think they’re misunderstanding why the demographics in our, in this contest have broken out as they are. Because everybody just ascribes it to ‘white working-class don’t wanna work — don’t wanna vote for the black guy.’ That’s…there were intimations of that in an article in the Sunday New York Times today – kind of implies that it’s sort of a race thing.

    Here’s how it is: in a lot of these communities in big industrial states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, people have been beaten down so long, and they feel so betrayed by government, and when they hear a pitch that is premised on not being cynical about government, then a part of them just doesn’t buy it. And when it’s delivered by — it’s true that when it’s delivered by a 46-year-old black man named Barack Obama (laugher), then that adds another layer of skepticism (laughter).

    But — so the questions you’re most likely to get about me, ‘Well, what is this guy going to do for me? What’s the concrete thing?’ What they wanna hear is — so, we’ll give you talking points about what we’re proposing — close tax loopholes, roll back, you know, the tax cuts for the top 1 percent. Obama’s gonna give tax breaks to middle-class folks and we’re gonna provide health care for every American. So we’ll go down a series of talking points.

    But the truth is, is that, our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there’s not evidence of that in their daily lives. You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

    Um, now these are in some communities, you know. I think what you’ll find is, is that people of every background — there are gonna be a mix of people, you can go in the toughest neighborhoods, you know working-class lunch-pail folks, you’ll find Obama enthusiasts. And you can go into places where you think I’d be very strong and people will just be skeptical. The important thing is that you show up and you’re doing what you’re doing.”

    That’s fine, Jason.

    But if they’re wanting their own Black candidate to win in November, they’ll need to figure out a way to bring the Clinton supporters back.

    What they have done, is offended the very voters they need to help their Black candidate.

    AA’s are only 12% of the Democratic Party.
    WOMEN are 52% of the Democratic Party.

    You’re most likely correct. I figure that the initial idea probably came from the reptilian marketing brain of David Axelrod. Remember the January 2007 (?) “smashing Mommy’s face” video on YouTube? That wasn’t Barky’s idea, although he’s a perfect carrier of the virus.

  • Deelee

    It’s a scary thought, but Obama just might be able to steal this presidency, and with his agendas this country will really go down the tubes.
    The only effective way to stop him is to let it be known that Hillary’s supporters, apart from voting for McCain, can also NOT vote for or vote against the downticket superdelegates that supported Obama and gave him the (presumptive)nomination.

    All 435 Representitive seats are up for reelection this November, so it might make them rethink their decision at the convention., and, if he is still nominated and elected, the House will be in the hands of the republicans and that will effectively block any screw-ups that he tries to perpetrate. Plus the fact that Pelosi’s seat will be up for grabs as well. They want CHANGE, let’s show them what real change is.

    Hi Karen. Yes I agree with you… Mark does find Obama’s comments laughable.. but the big problem is that not enough other people do. Apparently he is able to get so far along using empty rhetoric.

    This suggests he is hiding something. And the press is not doing it’s job in finding out what that is.

    I say he has big Marxist plans, and he knows he cannot be upfront about them, so he is appealing to the emotional side of people. It’s very dangerous.

    I heard that Obama said he can win without FL, MI, CA, NY, PA, TX, OH or the other 50 states, using the same strategy that he used to “win” the primary.

    He’s crook and a fraud and the little dumb ass Obots, with their kool aid addled brains, wonder why we won’t vote for him.

  • KarenAnn

    Vince, en re the Marxist idea, I find it very interesting that there are ‘revolution’ style posters a la Che, Soviet ‘worker art’, out there depicting Obama. Is this a ‘new wave’ campaign art form or wishful thinking? Just wondering. Aside from an earlier post showing a judge’s chambers with posters of Che and Obama, side by side, on his wall, there was a piece by Glenn Beck regarding the same. I not think he has Marxist leanings in regard to economics since he surrounds himself with advisors from the Chicago School (Milton Friedman, architect of the free trade philosophy), but with respect to media and message control absolutely. He commands absolute loyalty from others but does not give it in return. Contrasted with the Clintons who give absolute loyalty and are suprised when it is not reciprocated. We think Bush 43 is scary, Obama is even scarier. If anyone has noticed lately, he has gone from talking protectionist and not letting any more jobs be lost to being a ‘free market’ guy and saying what McCain said during his primary in MI- ‘the jobs are gone and they aren’t coming back.’ As usual he castigated McCain for it then but has absorbed it as his own now. I am so glad I found this blog because for a long time I thought I was the crazy one, or delusional because I thought the guy was a cypher, a tabula rasa, where his audience fills in the blanks for what they want to see/hear and I felt pretty lonely. :)

    No, Wang. What McCain supported was lifting the FEDERAL ban on drilling, and leaving it up to each state to decide.

    That’s not the same thing.

    Obama and the Democrats are suggesting a federal program of cap-and-trade, to be paid for by an ADDITIONAL 53 cent per gallon tax on gasoline.

    You think Americans want to pay even MORE for gas with higher taxes and another huge government program?

    53 cents per gallon federal tax.

    Obama campaign thinks they’re going to win Georgia and Louisiana.

    Can you BELIEVE that?

    Sheesh

    These rude, booing Obama supporters seem to turn up everywhere. They even were coming to Hillary events just to boo.

    These are our new! involved! voters WHO WILL CHANGE THE WORLD along with Obama.

    We older people who have been voting and involved for decades are dog meat. But these people, who could never be bothered to take a half hour out of their lives to vote are the VOTERS WHO MATTER now!

    That’s the failsafe for the Obama campaign.

    “If you’re against us you’re racist.”

    If so, they’re borrowing it from the Clinton campaign’s “sexist” failsafe.

    Gotta admit Karl Rove is a genius. He knows that rabid Obama supporters are either impressionable young punks that love the “gangsta rap” crap and who have absolutely NO knowledge of history beyond who got voted off Big Brother last week, or they are like my motherinlaw safe in her cocoon of federal government retirement in Bethesda with all of the superior intellects that don’t have a clue about rap culture enough to know what insults BO is hurling at Hillary. All she knows is it assuages her white privileged guilt to vote for an alleged “black” candidate. So Rove has effectively splintered the Democrat party, racial and ethnic division is gonna rear its ugly head with a vengeance this fall.

    And you’re borrowing that faulty logic from my little brother. Haha.

  • DoroB

    No. Obama will lose because he failed to win over voters. Please grow up.

  • DoroB

    ah, you must be talking about Kos and Huffypot, where I’m sure you fit in quite nicely

  • DoroB

    oh, poor poor barack!!

  • StrawberrybitesBarky

    Okay, keep thinking that, sweets.

    Why can’t she run again? Just because some dumb jagoff on the Internet said she can’t?

    I kept posting that little bit from Wiki about Susan B. Anthony’s falling out with Frederick Douglass over how he would not support womens’ rights in suffrage:

    In 1869, long time friends Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony found themselves, for the first time, on opposing sides of a debate. The Equal Rights Association, which had originally fought for both blacks’ and women’s right to suffrage, voted to support the 15th Amendment to the Constitution granting suffrage to black men, but not women. Anthony questioned why women should support this amendment when black men were not continuing to show support for women’s voting rights. Partially as a result of the decision by the Equal Rights Association, Anthony soon thereafter devoted herself almost exclusively to the agitation for women’s rights.

    Sounda familiar.

    My grandfather worked with LBJ doing those things (grandpa is from West Texas). I had a couple of letters that LBJ sent to him thanking him personally for his work with him.

    Let the obamabots keep it up, this only ensures Hillary supporters will stay angry and make them pay come November.

    A suggestion:
    Internet site “discoverthenetworks.org” and enter
    SAUL ALINSKY in the search box –
    Within that information you will find all the radical tactics that Obama uses – Obama is textbook Alinsky – for that matter so is Mrs O.
