For a serial Hillary-basher, even Maureen Dowd is turning on Obama. It is an interesting sneak-peek at how she’ll skewer him in the General. Obama gives her infinite fodder for her signature snide character assessments.

Her descriptions of him trying to woo the blue-collar vote in PA are right-on and hilarious. Perfect descriptions of how Mr Cool is making a Mr Fool out of himself on his bus tour.

The Hillary Waltz
By MAUREEN DOWD
April 2, 2008

Democrats getting jittery about the alienating effects of the endless soap opera they call their campaign should buck up. These “hand-wringers,” as the Hillary strategist Harold Ickes calls them, are not seeing the larger picture.

Hillary is cruelly misunderstood, and she deserves more credit for her benevolence. Not only does she have a lot in common with Rocky, as she said Tuesday in Philadelphia, but she has a lot in common with another famous character — the Marschallin in Strauss’s bittersweet comic opera “Der Rosenkavalier.”

The Marschallin is a princess married to a Viennese field marshal who has a liaison dangereuse with a younger man, Count Octavian. Though she’s worried about her fleeting youth and the fickleness of men, she instructs the young man on the ways of love and then gracefully sets him free, allowing him to find happiness with young Sophie as a soaring waltz plays.

Whether or not she wins, Hillary has already given noble service as a sophisticated political tutor for Obama, providing her younger colleague with much-needed seasoning. Who else was going to toughen him up? Howard Dean? John Edwards? Dennis Kucinich?

Obama had not been hit hard until this campaign; he sailed through his Senate race. Without Hillary, he never would have learned to be a good debater. He never would have understood how to robustly answer distorted and personal attacks. He never would have been warned about how harmful an unplugged spouse can be. He never would have realized how a luminous speech can be effective damage control.

When pressed about whether he’s ready for Swift-boating, Obama has seemed a bit cavalier. But the Hillary camp will garrote him with his mistakes until he fully appreciates what garroting feels like. Ickes told a Web site Tuesday that he has been pursuing superdelegates by pressing the Rev. Wright issue.

Besides coaching Obama, Hillary is also shielding him. If she had not fibbed about the Tuzla airport landing, and then fibbed to get out of a fib, the press would have stayed focused on Wright. She has been an invaluable lightning rod.

Hillary has clearly raised Obama’s consciousness about the importance of courting the ladies. Touring a manufacturing plant in Allentown, Pa., Tuesday, he was flirtatious, winking and grinning at the women working there, calling one “Sweetie,” telling another she was “beautiful,” and imitating his daughters’ dance moves by twirling around.

Later, at a Scranton town hall, he went up to Denise Mercuri, a pharmacist from Dunmore wearing a Hillary button. “What do I need to do? Do you want me on my knees?” he charmed, before promising: “I’ll give you a kiss.”

Obama has been less adept at absorbing the lesson of Hillary’s metamorphosis from entitled queen of the party to scrappy blue-collar mama. His strenuous and inadvertently hilarious efforts to woo working-class folk in Pennsylvania have only made him seem more effete. Keeping his tie firmly in place, he genteelly sipped his pint of Yuengling beer at Sharky’s sports cafe in Latrobe and bowled badly in Altoona. Challenging Obama to a bowl-off, Hillary kindly offered to “spot him two frames.”

At the Wilbur chocolate shop in Lititz Monday, he spent most of his time skittering away from chocolate goodies, as though he were a starlet obsessing on a svelte waistline.

“Oh, now,” the woman managing the shop told him with a frown, “you don’t worry about calories in a chocolate factory.”

The Times’s Michael Powell reports that, after watching five plump, white-haired women in plastic hairnets spin the chocolate into such confections as “Phantom of the Opera” masks and pink high heels, he ventured: “Do you actually eat the chocolate or do you get sick of it?” They giggled at his silliness.

He looked even more concerned when he was offered a chocolate cake with white chocolate frosting. “Oh, man.” he said. “That’s too decadent for me.”

One of the most valuable lessons the gritty Hillary can teach the languid Obama — and the timid Democrats — is that the whole point of a presidential race is to win.

It’s not to share power, or force the squabbling couple into an arranged marriage. The winner wins, even if it’s only by a fraction of a percentage point or one Supreme Court justice. Winning has no margin of error, as the Democrats should have learned by now. And the winner gets to decide his or her running mate.

But the ultimate favor Hillary can do for the Illinois freshman is to fight him full-out until the finale and then gracefully release him so he can find happiness with another.

Hillary’s work is done only when she is done, because the best way for Obama to prove he’s ready to stare down Ahmadinejad is by putting away someone even tougher.

I am waiting for the story to get out about the Rev and Obama saying the WHITE media would
be the easiest to HoodWink!!!! But the story is so true and they were so so right. Sad that they
had this all planned and it is working.

Ladies and Gentlemen, i found something interesting at MSNBC blog. As an independent voter (registered democrat for this upcoming primary), i have decided to vote for Hillary in PA primaries. As such i wrote negative (politically correct) things about Barrack Obama. It never made up on their website. On the otherhand i wrote exactly the same about Hillary CLinton, it made up on their website in a second.

I have decided NOT to buy anything from GE anymore. These Bas*ards, need to be taught a lesson.

Do you really want these BLACK RACISTS FROM CHICAGO to run the United States?

Do you really think these Chicagoians will take America’s best interest to heart.
They all share something in common………….they share allegiance to their own race above all other things.
=====================================================
Jesse Jackson Jr.-=Co-Chairman for Obama’s campaign
from Chicago
“The natural reminder here is O.J. (Simpson), how does an African American candidate
attack a white woman?”
=====================================================
Barak Obama-
from Chicago

The quote below is taken from Obama’s book, “Dreams of My Father”:
“There was something about him that made me wary,” Obama wrote. “A little too sure of
himself, maybe. And white.”

“I can no more disown him (Wright) than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me,
a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves
anything in this world”.

Said his grandmother is a “typical white person” who has fears about black men.
=====================================================
Michelle Obama-
from Chicago

Michelle Obama’s thesis … is unavailable until Nov. 5, 2008, at the Princeton library.
(not until after nomination, wonder why?)
Though she came from a black working-class neighborhood in Chicago, she writes that
“my experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‘blackness’ than ever before.”
“There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community
and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost.”
“Predominately white universities like Princeton are socially and academically designed to cater
to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of their enrollments.”
She further suggests that even if she assimilates into white society after Princeton,
she will “remain on the periphery of society: never becoming a full participant.”
“Blacks must join in solidarity to combat a White opressor.”

“For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country because it feels
like hope is finally making a comeback,”
=====================================================
Oprah-
from Chicago

When Oprah opened her school for girls in Africa, she was asked a question that
she wasn’t prepared to answer. The question was, “Why don’t I see any white girls?”
Her response was with distain on her face was, “Oh, I don’t care about no white girls.”
It seems that the Oprah’s racism is demonstrated through her girls school that was opened
in Africa which is almost exclusively an all black school. When asked about this she claims
that she does not have to appease the white people in the country. Yet, in another news clip
she declares that she will not rest until every ‘black boy’ and every ‘black girl’ has had a
chance to prove their worth.

Oprah brags with her friend Gayle King on XM satellite radio about how she has an almost
all white staff, and calls them “good white folks.”
====================================================
Rev. Wright-
from Chicago

“God d— America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people,” he said in a
2003 sermon. “God d— America for treating our citizens as less than human. God
d— America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.”
====================================================
Rev. James Meeks-
from Chicago

Called white American mayors “slave masters,” and referred to black preachers and
politicians who “protect” the “white man” as “house n-ggers.”
=====================================================
Rev. Moss-
from Chicago

Otis Moss the 3rd, was the man you see slapping Wright on the back in encouragement
as Wright was celebrating the September 11th attacks. If Obama is correct that his
church is collectively not an anti-American, anti-White, pro-Hate church, then why
is Otis Moss the new pastor, why does Otis Moss not agree with Obama that the Youtube
Wright comments were despicable. Why was Otis Moss cheering on Jeremiah Wright when he
was celebrating the September 11 attacks on America.
=====================================================
Farrakahn-
from Chicago

(The Nation of Islam: The Relentless Record of Hate Part 7):
“Everywhere I go I wanna give the white man hell from the cradle to the grave. This is
a new generation of blacks and we say to you, white man, you either stop or drop.”

He said of whites, “White people are potential humans—they haven’t evolved yet”

He suggested that the levies in New Orleans were bombed by the “white man” in order to
flood black neighborhoods.

He referred to the white man as “the anti-Christ”.
======================================================
Quannel X-
from Chicago

Through special youth programs, the Nation of Islam has appointed a youth Minister to
reach the younger audiences of Farrakahn. National Youth Minister for the Nation of
Islam Quannel X is quoted as saying “This is the time of the black man’s rise and the
white man’s demise.”
=====================================================

Even CNN won’t print anything bad about Obama - it’s a lovefest for Obama and Americans will suffer.

My daughters attended colleges with international students (who by the way are more academically advanced than American students) who commented that American news media is severely biased and filled with propaganda. I have now come to believe them and pray that Pennsylvania, North Carolina and the remaining states will save this country from those trying to deny our voices.

whats the matter obama, worried because you didn’t think of it first? why don’t you grow up. yes, we are all aware that it was a movie. but it was an inspirational one.

I tried to post negative comments about Obama at CNN…………..They would not post my comments.

On one I was trying to blog ………and they closed the blog on me.
After I was trying to send them messages asking why I could not comment on Obama?

OMG, I have tried to post on MSNBC ‘first read’ and they sensor heavily. Google it and see for yourself or follow this link: http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/

About 90% love Obama, and the other 10% can only get posted if it is trivial stuff that is negative about Obama or sort of positive Hillary or McCain. Everyone should go there and register and post something like, ‘Obama is dreamy’ and flood them with dumb short comments about how handsome and brilliant Obama is to make them look really ridiculous. Notice they don’t have many posts as at least 50% don’t make it

Obama is a racist pig and he supports killing babies just DAYS before they are born.

THIS MAN IS SICK.

AND he says killing babys just DAYS before they are born is a woman’s right AND his wife says it is a VALID medical procedure. Since he says kids are a punishment like STDs that makes since that he would be ok with murdering babies just DAYS before they are born.

I HATE this piece of SH|T

AND he said all this at a convention in SUPPORT of abortion. He used HIS OWN KIDS when talking about abortion….THIS MAN IS SICK

Obama gave a 1 MILLION dollar earmark to his wifes hospital THEN she got a 200,00 a year RAISE.

WTF!!!

WHY DOES THE MEDIA GIVE THIS SICK PERSON A FREE RIDE

Is there alot of blacks that work for CNN running the blogs? …………..I know CNN is based in Atlanta with a huge African American population.

The New Black Panther Party - in Atlanta Ga.
==================================================
We shall be active in the affairs of the politics of the District, region, and National Government, which impact our people. We will deal with the local city council, regional governments, school boards, ANC’s etc. We shall back strong Black candidates when they meet the Black Agenda test requirements. We encourage political awareness and activity to further the Black agenda. All Black politicians who betray the people must be dealt with. We understand that political power is limited, absent economic power and a true knowledge of self.
We are 100% opposed to gentrification or white takeover of the inner city. We demand full self-determination for particularly after having built the city and nation. Self-determination today is denied because of blatant racism.
We struggle to establish our own provisional government (in unity with other Black organizations), in order take control of our communities and in preparation for our own government soon to come! We advocate political alliances with all African -Black Organizations that are uncompromising in the struggle for liberation. We also will organize with the other oppressed people of color. The New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense is all Black, not integrationist.

It does matter when the black African American is running for President of the United States of America. He considers and calls himself a uniter but by his, his wife’s and his associates racist comments, he should be considered a divider of races. Maybe he is a uniter for the black race. If a white Presidential candidate made comments of such they and their associates would be called racists.

I have seen it numerous times, blacks saying racist statements, but somehow it was all a mistake, words were taken out of context, you’re just listening to a few seconds of sound bites.

Look at what happened to Imus (who is white).

Yet you had a black DA (Eddie Jordan) in New Orleans convicted of discriminating against about 45 white workers, (fired them to hire black unqualified workers) and cost the city a couple of million in the lawsuit. He is still on the payroll for New Orleans under a different position.

Cameo reversed would a white DA be given the same hand………………….NO. Jesse, Al, NAACP, The New Black Panther Party, and The Jenna Six would have marched to the courthouse and demanded his resignation.

There is reverse discrimination going on in this country and is purely accepted because of past occurances. PRESENT DAY= Whites say racist comments, they are racists. Blacks say racist comments, they’re misunderstood.

I’d much rather have a candidate that compares herself to “Rocky” than one that tries to get votes by drinking beer and trying to bowl. No one will ever believe he was sincere in that visit to the bowling lanes. In fact, the reason he couldn’t bowl was pobably because he’d already had too much “beer” before he got to the lanes. Everytime Senator Clinton opens her mouth, the media picks apart everything she says, not so with Obama. MSNBC used to be my favorite network to watch, - NO MORE - they’ve have completely gone crazy over this black man (wonder how much he’s promising them). WHEN McCain or Clinton get to the White House, I hope they shut the news media down and never even talk with them. Let them get their news somewhere else. The news media has manipulated these elections as well as the thinking of the American people. They think we all all idiots and cannot think for ourselves. Let’s prove them wrong, turn on them and vote for the right person. IF NOT CLINTON - then MCCAIN.

The Communists News Network will only print what IT believes you need to know! Besides if you don’t agree with them you must be an ignorant bible thumping conservative. Don’t worry though, when the Demorats finish chewing each other up and agree on a candidate the gloves will come off and they will be exposed!

Shame on you Clinton lovers!! SHAME ON YOU!! If your were to do as much research on your own candidate connections and things said, im sure the tone would be different. Sen Obama cant be held accountable for something his pastor says whether he was in the room or not. If Hillary supporters want to play that game, lets bring the racisn a little closer to home. Let be reminded of what Bill Clinton had to say about Barack’s campaingn, let not forget how he really feel about african americans. Hillary married her racist Barack only sat in the church of someone exercising free speech.

New Black Panther Party…………………Ye.ahhhhhhhhhhhhh they for Obama
Read they have some of the same ideals as Trinity…….Black….Black…..Black…..I guess if you’re a different race …go F— Yourself.

This is taken from their website:

We as a local and national party strive for Black Unity (Umoja) and Black Solidarity with other Black organizations worldwide. We shall build alliances with organizations, leaders, Churches, Mosques and like. When necessary we must deal firmly and appropriately with “Black” leadership who betray the interests of the Black community or Black Nation.

We must BUY BLACK as often as possible and cease unnecessary spending with non-Black owned businesses.

We recognize the reality of politics as being a process that controls the distribution of resources in the city and our community. We built the city, region and country, and are currently forced to pay taxes. To that end we, the New Black Panther Party engage in the political process to ensure the proper use of our communities tax dollars and other dollars that were stolen, by whites, from us.

We shall be active in the affairs of the politics of the District, region, and National Government, which impact our people. We will deal with the local city council, regional governments, school boards, ANC’s etc. We shall back strong Black candidates when they meet the Black Agenda test requirements. We encourage political awareness and activity to further the Black agenda. All Black politicians who betray the people must be dealt with. We understand that political power is limited, absent economic power and a true knowledge of self.

We struggle to establish our own provisional government (in unity with other Black organizations), in order take control of our communities and in preparation for our own government soon to come! We advocate political alliances with all African -Black Organizations that are uncompromising in the struggle for liberation. We also will organize with the other oppressed people of color. The New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense is all Black, not integrationist.

We call on Black Police officers to recognize that they are Black men and women first and police officers second. We call on Black police officers to recognize our common enemy who put our people in this condition.

The criminal justice system must be held accountable to the will of our people and not a cruel ex-slave master that desires to see our people continuously incarcerated. Of course, our work is in the jails and prisons where many great brothers and sisters are locked up. We demand immediate freedom for all political prisoners and prisoners of racist political circumstance.

We call for an end to gang violence and an end to Black on Black violence in general. We demand, locally, billions of dollars in reparations specifically for the salvation and education of our young people. Every Black youth or able-bodied person in this city and region should be afforded a proper education and reasonable job at a good wage after the robbery of our people for over 400 years.

Again we must fight gentrification or THE WHITE TAKEOVER of the (CITY). We recognize this as a conspiracy to remove our people, and will fight against it by any means necessary.

Through the BLACK DEFENSE LEAUGE (an OAAU) and call On Black legal organizations, attorneys, Black activists, pastors; preachers; churches; organizations, and leadership of every Black stripe to join with us against the evils of racism, inequality and injustice.
“FREEDOM OR DEATH!”

WE AFFIRM THAT THE GOVERNMENTS, CORPORATIONS AND WHITE PRIVATE CITIZENS OF THE REGION, HAVE WILLFULLY, INTENTIONALLY AND RECKLESSLY ENSLAVED, DISCRIMINATED AGAINST,
ROBBED AND DISFRANCHISED OUR PEOPLE IN COUNTLESS AND INNUMERABLE WAYS. WE AFFIRM THAT THE SAME ENTITIES WEALTH IN THE REGION IS ROOTED IN THE SLAVE TRADE-SYSTEM AND CURRENTLY PROFIT FROM CONTEMPORARY RACISM AND DISENFRANCHISEMENT.
WE THEREBY DEMAND THAT THE GUILTY PARTIES RELINQUISH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OWED IN FINANCE, LAND AND OTHER NECESSARY SUPPLIES, AS PARTIAL REPARATIONS, TO PARTIALLY COMPENSATE FOR OVER 400 YEARS SLAVERY, DISCRIMINATION, RACISM, BRUTALITY, ROBBERY, THEFT, LAND-STEALING, SUFFERING, DEATH, PHYSICAL AND MENTAL INJURIES, GENERAL ABUSE, DEFAMATION, SLANDER AND A HOST OF OTHER CRIMES AND TORTS OF THE BROADEST AND WORST MAGNITUDE.
WE DEMAND THE USE OF THESE PARTIAL COMPENSATORY DAMAGES FOR THE INSTITUTIONAL REBUILDING OF THE BLACK NATION AND COMMUNITY WITH ABSOLUTELY NO STRINGS ATTACHED.
WE FULLY SUPPORT ALL NATIONAL REPARATIONS MOVEMENTS, AND CALL ON ALL BLACK ORGANIZATIONS TO FIGHT FOR REPARATIONS BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Reply to Derrick

If you choose to sit and listen to someone’s racialy inflamitory comments for 20 years and choose to do nothing about it, or at least leave, I think that qualifies you as in agreement!
But please don’t take that statement as me supporting Hillary as above reproach

IF THE MEDIA WOULD JUST EXPOSE OBAMA’S CHURCH AND WHAT THEY BELIEVE, OBAMA WOULD’VE BEEN GONE, BUT THEN THEY WOULD LOSE HALF OF THEIR VIEWING AUDIENCE. IT’S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THEY HANDLE IT NOW THAT PA. AND THE OTHER STATES HAVE TO VOTE ON IT.

Now that Hillary Clinton, and Obama has been ripped to pieces for months, I wonder what the numbers would look like with a national redo. I think it would make sense to let them campaign for a year, then have a one day election.

To SNOOP ,
Grow up bacuse you sound like KKK.
Time has been changed stupied !

Can’t wait til Hillary releases her taxes. Then all of you Hillary lovers will see who is behind her campaign. You’ll see that she got her $5 million loan from an Arab nation where the terrorists originate from. The only problem is that she is going to make some excuse like “she can’t find them” so they won’t come out before the PA primary.

This whole love affair between Bo and CNN and MSNBC has been going on for a long time and only gets worse
Matthews is the worst of all
Personally I think his interview with his heart throb Bo Tonite should be boycotted
Who wants to watch Matthews drewling all over himself gazing into BOs eyes rubbing his tingling leg etc?
I would bet he has spent days picking the right out fit hair style spending endless hours wonder what to say when he is that close to him
What do I do if he touches me lmao
A Cooper stated his regret on air of having to report on the wright stuff
Has the station owners become so easily bought off that they have agreed to pump up Bo well bashing Clinton?
Matthews show last night spent an hour bashing Hillary even had a list of her lies
So when does Matthews intend to list BOs
He doesn’t period
A Coopers travels with BO got the lowest ratings of all channels when it aired what does that tell ya?
Nobody wants to watch an anchor who is supposed to be professional make passes at a candidate
Look for Matthews interview with McCain to be completly different no kissin going on in that one
I wonder if Matthews will present BO with candy and flowers with a corsage to boot
One that matches his tie of course
Oh he must be sooo giddy right now butterflies in his tummy and all
Maybe he will have a portrait done with himself bent at BOs knee

LIF is a BEACH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HOOOOOOO HHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA TTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HEEEEEEEEEEEEE,,,,Im laughin so hard MY cofee came out of MY NOSE

HO HO HO HUH?????

http://youtube.com/watch?v=21YF7ggCG6g

Please watch this!

Jesse Ventura was on Larry King last night and I have to say I enjoyed his frankness with Larry and the usual panel people
On blogs the opinion is that BO supporters dont want jesse to run for fear it will take votes from BO you bet your bottom dollar it will
All the hype over Bo would disinigrate in minutes as people would see a real change and a candidate who means it
I am Hillary supporter but would have to seriously consider Jesse especially if BO were the dem nominee
I say bring it on Jesse!!!

BO=Body Odor

danielle——– NO MORE PRESENTS FOR ABU,, OR ANY OF THE REST OF THOSE HAJI’s

Look I can see if I was a black racist, Muslim loving, anti-American, anti-white, Trinity church going person, I would probaly vote for Obama too.

Look, I read news from all over the world. Debka from Israel, Al-Jazeera, even the Iran Globe and Bejing Daily as well as news from American media sources. One thing I can tell you is that CNN and MBNC are only about a half notch above the Iranian media and Al-Jazeera as far as being fair and balanced. Frankly, Al-Jazeera might even be a bit less biased at times. The reason why Fox is considered a “conservative news agency” is simply because they are not completely in bed with the Democrats and they look conservative by comparison.

Take a look at these blogs as a good example. You can pretty much say whatever you want here whether it’s a conservative or liberal point of view. I gave up trying to blog at CNN and MSNBC because the only way to get posted is to kiss the Democrats’ @$$es. Those two are garbage propaganda networks.

Hold Up! Obama can say “It’s just a movie”…but Bill can’t say “It’s a fairytale”? Sounds the same to me……

I tried to view the gaza video on youtube but it wont load
I read earlier today that some were demanding it be removed
Anybody know if thats what is happening or if I can view it elsewhere???

I managed to get one of my comments read on the air by Jack Cafferty,but he only used the last sentence. After that, I never tried again. He did though, send me a copy of his book. I gave it the same amount of attention he gave my comment. Gave it to my super liberal sister-in-law for Christmas.

Hillary should drop the DNC and run as an Independent in the General Election. Obama can NOT win without the votes of Hillary supporters. Hillary stands a great chance at winning the Presidency on an Independent Platform. We are electing a candidate, not a party. Who cares about the DNC? I care about the economy, health care, and security.

Yeah but alot of ignorant people are Obamafied Zombies.

Roots was just a movie too did it not have meaning to it??
Of course Bo would probably claim himself to be the writer of the novel and that his grandpa was the original Kunta Kinta And no doubt that he would say he was at a meeting with Chicken George
And because of his own ability to unite he sat down at a table and got them all to agree to get along
Then he brought rev Wright in which made everything much clearer too funny

I agree, she can do like Lieberman did and run as Independent.

If she did that she would definitly have the nomination.

Kunta Kinta was Odinga’s great great Uncle on his daddy’s side.

Drop the DNC, Hillary could not win that way, because she also needs Obamas voters. It would prove that she doesn`t need the DNC to decide her fate.

You Hillary supporters need to get a clue. IT”S OVER. The only way she can win is if Barack does a “Spitzer” and that isn’t going to happen. Hillary, GET OUT NOW!

Yep and his great great uncle signed a bill that freed all slaves and Kennedy was sitting next to him when he did it
Just ask Bo he will tell you

Hey Betty, I totally agree with you about Chris Matthews being in the tank for Obama. I wanted to kick the TV last night because he spent 20 minutes of his show bashing Hillary. When are they going to fire this man. He showed the video of Bosnia last night ,andthen he had an advisor to Obama ON that said wonderful things about him. What a joke! He should be fired. I remember one day watching Morning Joe and Mika asked him if he was endorsing Obama and he looked so shocked I can’t stand the man.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This other guy I can’t stand is Dick Morrison former advisor to Bill Clinton . Actually I have done a lot of research on him and he is helping Obama’s cousin in Kenya in his election campaign. If you want some more information on this go to Dick Morrison, Odinga,Kenya.. Odinga is Obama’s cousin who is running for PRESIDENT IN KENYA. He has the same message as Obama.I read many interesting things about Obama’s family being Muslim. Actually, his step grandmother. I think there are many things about Obama that are unknown and I think all Americns should know. I will say that I have no problem with anyone’s religion nationality or race. But what I find scary is not knowing much about the man that we want to make President of the United States.I rather vote for someone that I know what all her flaws are then vote for someone that I don’t much about..
MSNBC Should fire Chris Mattews !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jim,
Who is to say Bo isnt a spitzer maybe that just hasnt come out yet??
Are you claiming that BO is too christian for that sort of thing???
Are you saying that BO is above anything that may be considered wrong??
You dont think in his cocaine drunk years he didnt boink a few hookers??

TO ALL PENNSYLVANIANS:

It is time to accept the fact that Hillary cannot win the nomination. The longer she stays in, the less chance the Democrats have of winning the White House. If she takes it to the convention, that all but guarantees a Republican victory. Contested conventions ALWAYS result in the party losing the general election (1968, 1980). Whether you like it or not, it is time to come together and vote for Obama.

————————————————————————————–
In all likelihood, it will most probably be Hillary that has some kind of “Spitzer” event. One has to wonder what she is hiding in her last 7 years of tax returns (2000-2007). They are available to be released at any time yet she has chosen not to do that. She claims that she’ll do it by April 15 but she won’t.

Snoop you deserve an A for cut and paste. Would you like to trim your posts down to one issue at a time so that we can debate them in a civil format? Also, let’s talk about facts not racist banter. If Obama has made a racist comment, please lits when he said it, the group he said it do, and when he said it. I look forward to seeing you have any specifics.

Bella,
I totally agree with you on Morris
He is a vengeful man
He is still so upset at the Clintons for getting rid of him that he has no bearing on the words he speaks
I have emailed Fox several times about Morris
No matter what the topic he comes on and bashes the Clintons tries to be funny and bombs every time
I think Morris has the same crush on Bill that Matthews has on BO
Sure Morris is helping BOs family it serves his purpose to show the Clintons they cant do with out him
He looks like a big old toad pretending to have any knowledge at all
He loves to talk about Monica but hides from his own indiscretions
I agree they should get rid of Matthews but they keep the BO supporters
Tucker Carlson was the only anchor who didnt praise BO all the time and guess what they took his show away!
Now he is on the panels they have on but they dont like his opinions so he doesnt get much air time
When BO is brought down by his own lies then lets see what the BO stations have to say
I will check the Morris link
Thanks

Jim
Had Hillary had a Spitzer moment we would all know about it
The coverage would be enourmous
Her Taxes well could they be any more full of $$$ than BO&MOS
Rev Wright has BO&MO to thank in a big way for the mansion and bank acct tax free that he now posseses

I’m seeing this mentioned a lot. I’m going to try posting myself to test the accusation. If I encounter the same “policy”, then I think conservative pundits may want to know about this type of censoring policy.

I as well have haad several occasions with cnn and msnbc where they wont post any negativity on BO in thier comments or they come up with a notice that the blog has been closed while others keep posting

Betty,

Her tax records will show that the United Arab Emirates is funding her campaign via the $5 million loan. They are the same people who tried to take over US ports and once the public found out, it was stopped.

To Proudmale,

Obama cuts and pastes Hillary’s ideas all the time. He has no ideas of his own but he claims them as his own. He gets media passes and then some from MSNBC and CNN who do nothing but bash Hillary for ratings. He lied about Wright, Rezko and earmarks, his accomplishment. He’s lied about his conception until now. Let’s not forget, the remarks he made yesterday about “punished with a baby or STD”.

He sends his surrogates to do his dirty work, then makes remarks like “Hillary should stay in the race” he underestimates the public with his macho militant attitude and speeches.

The man is a phony and hypocrit and it will catch up with him very soon. Hillary will prevail!

To Betty. Do you know the reason that Bill Clinton got rid of Dick Morris ?

Ever one went crazy when Hillary said she was in Bosnia under firer. What she was trying to do was show she had been involved in affairs of diplomacy in Bosnia, which she was. No one made note of that fact. Now Obama lies again about something that he doesn’t do, receive money from oil companies, about McCain, about Rev. Wright. When in fact he does receive money from oil companies, a lot. He lied about McCain comments concerning Iraq. He lied about Rev. Wright apologizing for his comments. I’m sure the media will fine away to make him look good and cover up this situation. Obama and his campaign are a fraud, just like the media reporting of him. I believe the media is doing this so that McCain will win the White house. The Republican Party will begin the negative campaign once they know who the democratic nominee will be. Obama will not be elected in the general election.

I can believe that any one with a reasonable amount of intelligence could not read into the lies of Obama’s answers to Rev. Wright preaching’s. There is no way that Obama wasn’t aware of the feeling of his pastor. If he wasn’t aware then he should not be president. You could not be involved with a person for twenty years and not know the political views of this person. A person that you call your mentor, not know his political views is unbelievable. When are you people in the media going to report the truth? Could you really believe that he never heard his pastor speak his mind when they were together? Could he not know that his wife wasn’t proud of being an American? You all should be a shame of your reporting. Check out all that he has said about is relationship concerning Rev. Wright. You will see all the inconstancies, in the view he said he could have left the church had the Rev. Wright not left the church. He said that the Rev. had apologized for his statements, not true. The plan for him to leave the church was already been planned. He is making it up as he goes along. The country is going to elect a person that listen to a racist for twenty years.

On the other story they are bashing Bill Clinton because he became upset with some Super Delegates over Bill Richardson!!!!??????? And they trash Bill. But it is fine that Reverend Wright can rant and rave. Nothing is fair anymore. Might as well serve Obama up on a platter!!!
I am turning Republican. I am ashamed of the DNC!

Obama has blocked the re-dos of Florida and Michigan because he knows he will lose in those states, while Hillary has to defend her position. Obama does not care about peoples’ Constitutional rights but then you can’t expect more from a man who has a spiritual advisor like Wright.

David from New York,

Get over it. Hillary is toast. The nomination is Obama’s and your whining is going to change anything.

To David from New York.

Thank you for supporting Hillary. What is up with MSNBC and CNN? I think Hillary should file a law suit for defamation of character or misrepresentation. The media are driving this election vs reporting fair and square. Obama 70% air time vs Hillary 30%. I, along with many others will boycott Chris Matthews. Good for Hillary not making an appearance on Hardball.

AMERICANN CONSERVATIVE

Hey you little weasil, I was just watching Fox News and they had a report on absurd earmarks and they had one that gave $500,000 to research HOPS AS IN BEER HOPS. I just want to say, WA-HOO TO EARMARKS THAT BENEFIT ME THAT AMERICAN CONERVATIVE IS PAYING FOR. That must kill you knowing that you’re contributing to my vice. I would call that the gift that keeps on giving. You’re little contribution will give me endless enjoyment night after night, year after year drinking a product that YOU helped make better.

You’re not gonna be able to sleep knowing you’re tax dollar is helping me live the degenerate lifestyle I so relish. I want to thank you or should I say;

AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE—-THIS BEER’S FOR YOU

Please watch this whole thing!!!!! Lou Dobbs gets it!!!!

Jim

Jim you could be right, but it’s not over till it’s over. He could win the primary but not the general election. The Rev. Wright question will never go away. The fact that his wife hated America until the other day. The Republican Party will play The Rev. Wrights remarks, and michelle”s remarks day and night. So if you want the democratic to win the white house, Hillary is the only way to go.

Angry at the Media.

Let’s start with Obama’s Church. I find it amazing that so many of you still are stating that Obama is coming from a racist church.

OK, here is a little challenge. I have pulled up the various ministries of the Trinity United Church of Christ and cannot find anything that is overtly racist. PLEASE NOTE THAT A CHURCH WILL DEVOTE IT’S TIME, RESOURSES, ABILITIES and WEALTH OF HUMAN RESOURCES TO ITS MINISTRY TARGETS.

Therefore, I am asking can you guide me to which ministry is responsible for all of this supposed racist garbage? Yeah, yeah I know about the You Tube links that you think are coming as direct revelation from the great beyond, but is that all that you have? Come on guys, if the place is as racist as you are saying it is at least point out which ministry you have a problem with.
IN OTHER WORDS PUT UP OR SHUT UP!
