    I love it! The more the merrier the DNC and obama camp can’t be allowed to get away with the sleaze and corruption they performed this year or it will never end, they were no better than what the rightwing and SC pulled in 2000 and 2004, going backwards is NOT an option.

        BOOYAH CAROL!!!!!
        RIGHT ON HILLRAISERS!!!!!

        HILLYEAH!!!

        HILLARY IS POTUS

    • Taj

      This was such a clear, well-done, and articulate interview. We must destroy the High Lord Obama’s candidacy, because by so doing we will save this nation from leftist elitist rule and ensure that HILLARY CLINTON will be the nominee in 2012.

      Has anyone else noticed the Cavuto program’s apparent obsession with our movement? Not that I blame them, of course…

      • Lumi

        Cavuto is obesssed with your so called movement because you’re been used. The more Fox news can get your crazies out in the open the more they think they can ruin Obama’s chances of winning which of cause won’t happen. OBAMA 08!

        • imustprotest

          Lumi I was going to make a comment to your comment. But on second thought, I’ll just let it stand as it is, in all it’s glory.

        • Objective Analysis

          Well it is working. CNN and MSNBC is so in the tank for Obama, I forget how much ass kissing they are doing. I can’t keep count.

          Fox News will at least report things that have impact. Ask about the Rev. Wright issue. Fox was the first to report it and it became a big bang.

        • carol

          amen. if only they realized this! That was the most ridiculous pathetic piece of you know what….these two women are a joke! Go ahead vote for McCain….who needs these people – they are NOT democrats. Obama is too far to the left, so he’s goes to the center, now he’s too much like bush – he can’t win with these people he will NEVER be in their favor.
          take a hike and take hillary with you….you need a long walk.

    Just wondering…whatever happened to the Michelle Obama “whitey” tape? And Obama’s “fake birth certificate?” Those scandals didn’t seem to take flight for some reason…

    • one eyed jack

      The tape is coming it’s in the mail. The birth certificate is another matter because it hss to go through forieng channels and red tape to get to the US of A. :)

    • one eyed jack

      The tape is coming it’s in the mail. The birth certificate is another matter because it has to go through foreign channels and red tape to get to the US of A. :) . Just be patient

      • pew

        Question???
        Does a USA citizen not need a Birth Certificate,to acquire, a Passport?

        If Obama is travelling out of the USA,does he not need a Passport for travelling?

        How legal is his passport,if we are questioning his Birth Certificate?

        Go Puma

        And also a great Interview

        • carol

          yes he needs a passport. and I’m sure he has a birth certificate somewhere…not a fake one. let’s see…obama has served in the senate but might not be a US citizen and no one has discovered this until now….anyone born in the US on US soil is a US citizen, no matter who your parents are….at least that was the law when Obama was born. can it…he is a US citizen.

            HaHa… I think Pelosi uses make-up by Tremclad.

        • jus messin wit you man

          I dunno. I think comparing Obambi and Pelosi to clowns is an insult to the clowns.

          NOBAMA. No Way.

    • vinnie

      The name changes of BO: Barry Dunham; Barry Soetoro; Barry Obama; Barack Obama; Barrack Hussein Obama II…you just wait, it’s all unfolding. Look at Indonesia law much? Google it, check out their civil code for marriage…can you say Muslim? The RNC can run away with that one. Unlike here in the US, a little rupiah here a little rupiah there, and voila, a certificate.

      Scary stuff

      • missouridove

        Yes, very scary!
        Early on when I went to BO’s website to compare his healthcare plan to Hillary’s, I had to give name, phone#, etc. to get into the site, which kind of steamed me. After getting pro-Obama emails, I promptly “unsubscribed,” but it ticks me off to think they have all my info. That was stupid on my part. Live and learn.

        • Hope Floats

          Never bought the Hopey Changey stuff. I googled him and heard all kinds of craziness about him in November 2007. As soon as I read “Raised by young atheist who married a Muslim after the Muslim father abandoned them and put him in a Catholic school, though they say he was a Muslim,” I was immediately suspicious. No one without something to hide explains that much.

    • Lou

      never mind…stop asking. It’s for shock factor.

    • Objective Analysis

      Republicans are waiting for Obama to be confirmed before they let it out. You forget, Hannity & Colmes knew about Rev. Wright since March 2007 and kept reporting it but, it did not becomes news until February 2008 after Obama campaign attacked Ferraro.

      Timing is everything. It will come, I assure you because there is evidence to support that it occurred.

  • Sami

    I hope eventually this will all catch up with MSM and the DNC. I no longer EVER watch MSNBC (except for Joe Scarborough, who just this morning opined about how unfair Whites are being treated because African-Americans has the media terrified to speak the truth if it is against them). I no longer support the Dems in any way, after life-long allegiance to them. I think the fact that the Media is not telling all the facts about Obama is shameful.

    • Dawnelle

      Hey Sami,

      I never used to appreciate Joe Scary (home state boy) until he started defending Hillary.

      Then he was demoted for it (it seems) and now I never am able to catch him in the morning. I hated him with MICA though – is he still?

      She’s such a disappointment to Womanhood, Sisterhood, Adulthood, any hood but Obambi’s

      • hank48188

        Mika’s father is an Obama Advisor, so is her brother. Ziggy Brzezinski was National Security Advisor for Jimmy Carter

        • Dawnelle

        Timepassages. Everytime I look at your native you tube on your site I get so mad. Hillary is the one to make a difference and my resolve to push this Obama creep back deepens. We need the native ways. We are at the end.

  • simanov

    This will hit Obama in the face if he goes to Iraq. He should stay here and keep making his own reality. Someone please send this to him.

    The New Reality in Iraq

    All of the most important objectives of the surge have been accomplished in Iraq. The sectarian civil war is ended; al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) has been dealt a devastating blow; and the Sadrist militia and other Iranian-backed militant groups have been disrupted.

    Meanwhile, the Iraqi government has accomplished almost all of the legislative benchmarks set by the U.S. Congress and the Bush administration. More important, it is gaining wider legitimacy among the population. The attention of Iraqis across the country is focused on the upcoming provincial elections, which will be a pivotal moment in Iraq’s development.

    The result is that we have an extraordinary – but fleeting – opportunity to advance America’s security and the stability of a vital region of the world.

    As far as the civil war is concerned, there have been virtually no sectarian killings recorded for the past 10 weeks. Violence is still perpetrated by organized groups, but AQI, the remnant Sunni insurgents and Shiite fighters are now focused on attacking their own members who have defected to our side. This is a measure of their weakness. The Iraqi population is increasingly mobilizing against the perpetrators of violence, flooding American and Iraqi forces with tips about the locations of weapons caches and key militant leaders – Sunnis turning in Sunnis and Shia turning in Shia.

    I signed with them – but I am really not a “middle” democrat, nor is B0 a liberal. I had hoped they rey to get Hillary nominated THIS YEAR.

    You clowns are PATHETIC! Take your ball and go home already…I thought most of you were going to register Independent anyway…go ahead, MAKE MY DAY

    • Dawn

      Hate to inform you of this but Independents VOTE and they swing elections. My vote as an Independent will go go Mc Cain if Senator Clinton is not the democratic nominee. You missed the point that these women were making CENTRIST is what we need to make the nation work.

        Why are you cry babies still crying about Hillary losing? You guys need to grow up and move on. Obama will be president! You guys can cry from now until November but nothing is going to change that fact.

          Hillary can run again or still become the nominee. We like her. We don’t like Obama. We’re voting for McCain unless Hillary is the nominee. Keep being a cry baby about votes Obama is losing. Every remark just reminds us to circle Nov. 4 on our calendars.

    • Lou

      Not changing my party. I’m digging my heels in and staying a Dem so I can vote out the down ticket.

  • Andy

    Paula is really good; here they were both good and the host was much better than when he interviewed Heidi Li.

    Great. I like a lot the message of being “Horrified” out there on the screen. Things have to be said bluntly, often, loud and clearly.

    • AF catfish

      Paula speaks so well and articulated my concern – Obama will swing so far to the left (on foreign policy) it will hurt the country. I differ in that he will hurt the Democratic party.

      He is too corporate on domestic issues and too ambiguous on foreign policy.

      From JFK, Carter, Reagan, Clinton and even George W. Bush at times, each of our presidents has expressed a clear stance for human rights. Obama’s involvement in Kenya’s election makes me very concerned he is ambiguous about human rights, women’s rights, freedom of religion. Freedom of religion is a major component of human rights.

      • Dawnelle

        YA KNOW I don’t know if he’s really a “far left or far right” anything.

        I am concluding that he is just VERY eXTREME in MANY views and some are from the left and some from the right but NONE Of them are GOOD imo.

        from Iraq to Woman’s issues

        he swings like he’s on “something” hopium (yet never hopeful)

        He’s just a figment of everyone’s fears or dreams and AGAIN we have someone (a lot of them) working it from behind the curtains (ala Cheney)

        WHAT a nightmare!

        Who is behind McCain’s curtain? Wouldn’t it be funny if PUMA’s ended up there? heh.

    We don’t have to go home–we never left dumbass. LOL! As for as taking our ball , we have balls , unlike the likes of you and the rest of the cult fetish crowd of Obama robos. get a life and shut the —- up or you will be under that bus before you know it.

  • Boxer Mum 06

    Great job ladies!

    Very good interview. I think we continue to make progress. I hope Hillary is watching and is proud of her supporters.

  • one eyed jack

    Most all the other blogs are talking about Obama feeling so secure in his status as the chosen nominee that he is “feeling entitled” and in his arrogancy sits on his throne and demands all his subjects come to him. Even Reid and Pelosi being surprised by his move to hold his own convention in a stadium, he had neither consulted nor informed them before making that decision. Maybe he doesn’t need Reid, Pelosi, Dean, or the Donna Brazil(ian nut) any longer–so it’s under the bus with them. LOL!

    • HARP

      That’s it…I`m not sharing my space with that sort of rif-raf. I`m looking for new accomodations.

      • one eyed jack

        Yes, I canceled my invite because I do not feel worthy of being in the company of such royalty as the two stooges of the Obama family.

  • Andrea

    Great interview! Paula’s comment on either side getting too extreme being bad for America is a wonderful point & one I hope to see pushed more and more. I think it is appropriate to view Obama as a third Bush term in the sense that it would be another inexperienced, arrogant and party-sided president running the country. Obama is doing to the democrat party what Bush did to the republicans.

    • one eyed jack

      maybe we could get another one (party that is). even one from WAL MART would beat the hell out of what we now have. only thing is, one from WAL mART would most likely bwe chinese. :)

      • Idiocracy08

        you would think. i used to say ANYONE would be better than Bush. i no longer feel that way.

        sad.

  • http://nad Dan

    These ladies are right on especially for the vice presidency, If Hillary is VP it doen’t change the fact that Obama would be the incompetant selected nominee and that’s what matters. Hillary(Annie Oaklie) should refuse it because you know on her bad days the claws might come out. Hillary don’t be the VP of a misogynic fool. Your better than that.

    • one eyed jack

      And don’t forget, the Clinton’s are racists, (leastwise they are according to the Obama camp), and Michelle is set to throw all her first lady influence toward the benefit of the black folk(s) so Hillay and Michelle would be in constant conflict.

      • imustprotest

        I think Hillary is smart enough not to buy a ticket on that Titanic.

  • bayareavoter

    Great job! Very articulate and composed in what must be a nerve-wracking setting. And they got many of their points in. I’m impressed. Keep it up. Why is it Cavuto and Fox are the only ones featuring PUMAs and their ilk?

    Of course, I don’t watch tv anymore (except Jon Stewart and Colbert) so maybe it exists and I just don’t know about it.

    • one eyed jack

      Don’t feel so all alone. Most all the Obama robos are poorly informed and just plain too damned ignorant and lazey to do their own researching.

  • PamFlorida

    I think they will all be surprised. The DNC and the New Democratic Coalition thought he would be their ticket to power. It will be His Party, His Money, His Friends, and His Oval Office. Down ticket Dems are wondering “Where’s the Beef”. Pelosi may be replaced by Rahm Emmanuel as Speaker-will she get whatever Obama promised? Will Obama make good on any of his promises?

    • one eyed jack

      Obama is making good on his promise to not accept anything that is part of the American democratic way, to the extent that he will not even use a convention center (whitey will not tell him what to do)but rather hold HIS convention in a stadium. Wouldn’t it be fitting if Hillary won the nominee on a floor vote at the convention center while Obama was holding HIS convention at the stadium? LOL! :)

        I have no problem with moderate republicans and especially like liberal republicans! ;-)

        these days

  • Sharyn

    Not only is Obama becoming a fake centrist; he’s also a fake liberal. In other words, he’s an over-inflated ego in an empty suit.

    He’s no liberal in the true sense of the word. Hillary’s plans for the country, from healthcare to the foreclosure crisis to the environment, are way more progressive than his.

    • one eyed jack

      Right on, Obama is not a Liberal in the real sense of the old democratic party Liberal who was all for the good of America and it’s people. Obama is a liberal in the most strict sense of the word as it also defines SOCIALISM and Communism.

    This raises serious questions, not only for Barack

    THIS is exactly what both parties in this country are ignoring. There was a reason both Hillary and John won the popular vote. Add up what John got in votes and what Hillary got in votes. Both are centrist willing to work with the others side.

    THEREIN is the true majority in this country on both sides. Republicans didn’t vote for the Ultra Conservatives and Democrats didn’t vote for the Ultra Liberals either. I don’t like the word elitist because let’s be realistic. There is nothing elite about these people they’re radicals.

    I said it a long time ago when Bush won his second term. When people were calling our soldiers baby killers and saying they deserved to die in Iraq. When people were coddling and cooing murders. When we saw people’s rights beging taken and the constitution not being followed. The winds of change are coming, and there is going to be a shake up.

    People are getting sick of the radicals on both sides and we’re going to find our voices again. We’re sick of being silent as this country is being destroyed. We HAVE found those voices…I for one am THANKFUL that the middle of both sides has once again found their voices and that they’re using those voices where it counts. Votes.

    Great interview ladies!

  • http://NeedtoKnow need to know

    I was wondering if Obama, if born in Hawaii, qualified to be a U.S. national (not a citizen, no right to vote or hold office) but which would permit him to use a passport. Can’t wait until the question of his citizenship is resolved, and whatever papers he submits backing it up get subjected to the greatest scrutiny…I’m one of those who doubt he’s qualified.

  • Lou

    yall let these hoes represent ya’ll, Ya’ll stupid

    sexist mysoginist
    ya’ll ya’ll uh uh ya’ll
    get on some medication and chill out. We don’t trust Obama and will not vote for him Get over it!

  • Lou

    I’ll donate to this new group of Paula’s.
    This is getting good.
    Where’s the popcorn?

    and now check this:
    Obama has carried flip-flopping to new heights. In the space of a month and a half, this candidate — who we don’t really yet know very well — reversed or sharply modified his positions on at least eight key issues:

    • After vowing to eschew private fundraising and take public financing, he has now refused public money.

    • Once he threatened to filibuster a bill to protect telephone companies from liability for their cooperation with national security wiretaps; now he has voted for the legislation.

    • Turning his back on a lifetime of support for gun control, he now recognizes a Second Amendment right to bear arms in the wake of the Supreme Court decision.

    • Formerly, he told the Israeli lobby that he favored an undivided Jerusalem. Now he says he didn’t mean it.

    • From a 100 percent pro-choice position, he now has migrated to expressing doubts about allowing partial-birth abortions.

    • For the first time, he now speaks highly of using church-based institutions to deliver public services to the poor.

    • Having based his entire campaign on withdrawal from Iraq, he now pledges to consult with the military first.

    • During the primary, he backed merit pay for teachers — but before the union a few weeks ago, he opposed it.
    • After specifically saying in the primaries that he disagreed with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) proposal to impose Social Security taxes on income over $200,000 and wanted to tax all income, he has now adopted the Clinton position.

    Obama’s breathtaking flips and flops are materially different from McCain’s. While McCain had opposed offshore oil drilling and now supports it, the facts have obviously changed. Obama’s shifts have nothing to do with altered circumstances, just a change in the political calendar.
    As a candidate who was nominated to be a different kind of politician, Obama has set the bar pretty high. And, with his flipping and flopping, he is falling short, to the disillusionment of his more naïve supporters.

    So will Hagel. for everyone fretting that Hillary will be VP…you were right. Obama is pandering to Jill I.

    WEST LAFAYETTE, Indiana (Reuters) – Two men often mentioned as possible running mates to U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama joined him on the campaign trail in Indiana on Wednesday, further stoking speculation about the Democrat’s closely guarded search for a No. 2.

    Former Georgia Sen. Sam Nunn and Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh appeared flattered that their names were being bandied about in the media as vice presidential contenders.

    But neither would comment on whether they had been contacted by the Obama campaign about the job.

    “It’s an honor, but I have no expectations of being offered any office. I am not in any way sitting on the edge of a chair, waiting to go back into government,” Nunn told reporters.

    “Certainly I would to talk to Sen. Obama if he wanted to talk about it,” he added. “But I think the chances of an offer are pretty slim and I would have to do a lot of thinking … about what was really the best role for me.”

    Bayh said he was enjoying his current job as a senator and added, “I think any questions about the vice presidential thing are understandable and it’s good for my ego but I should probably let Sen. Obama and his campaign address those kinds of questions.”
    Nunn and Bayh are both respected voices on national security issues. Obama, a 46-year-old first-term Illinois senator, is trying to counter criticism from John McCain, his Republican rival in the November election, that he lacks the foreign policy seasoning to serve as commander-in-chief.

    The two Democrats were part of a panel discussion with Obama at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, on the threats posed by nuclear and biological weapons and potential cyber attacks.

    Obama said President George W. Bush’s preoccupation with Iraq meant those issues had been neglected for the past eight years.

    “It’s time to break out of Washington’s conventional thinking that has failed to keep pace with unconventional threats,” he said.

    The Democratic presidential candidate said if elected he would make eliminating nuclear weapons a central part of his security strategy.

    “It’s time to send a clear message to the world: America seeks a world with no nuclear weapons,” he said.

    Obama plans visits soon to Iraq and Afghanistan as well as Jordan, Israel, Britain, Germany and France. Dates for the trips have not been disclosed for security reasons.

    Many analysts say it would make sense for Obama to pick a running mate steeped in national security experience to add heft to his ticket.

    Nunn, 69, former chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Bayh, 52, and a member of the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence committees, both vouched for Obama’s national security credentials.

    “He has a history of thinking beyond the horizon, anticipating the kind of challenges we face,” said Bayh, who campaigned for Obama’s former rival, Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton, during their race for the party’s nomination but has since thrown his support to Obama.
