Obama’s Small Time Indiana Campaign

The weekend before the Indiana primary on Tuesday, Barack Obama is traveling the state opting to meet and greet voters in intimate settings rather than rallying the troops at 15,000+ person rallies that he’s become known for.

Today Barack Obama campaigned at a park in Noblesville, Indiana, where several hundred people waited, many sitting on blankets in the grass. While Michelle and Barack Obama spoke to the crowd, daughters Sasha and Malia opted to spend much of their time playing with the other children in a nearby park, swinging and spinning around on a double-decker merry-go-round. “Faster, faster!” the girls chanted along with the other children.

It was appropriate that the message today was family as this was the first time the entire Obama family has appeared together on the campaign trail since Iowa. “We wanted to have a family day because our hope is that when we get into the White House is that the White House will be a place where children and family become the core of everything that happens out of that building,” Michelle told the crowd.

And noting Obama’s recent slied in the polls, she said, “But before we can get to the White House, we have to get through the primary right here in this state. And Barack Obama, as wonderful as we know he is, started out as the underdog in this race, and as far as I’m concerned, he will always be the underdog until the day he is sitting in the Oval Office. So that means we can’t take anything for granted. Not a thing. Everybody has to vote.”

Later, the family visited Barack Obama’s maternal grandparents’ home in tiny Kempton, Indiana, where they greeted about 20 or so locals behind the old, white home that sat in the middle of a sprawling cornfield. Perhaps hoping for a word-of-mouth campaign, the candidate really worked the small crowd as press watched from a distance, unable to see or hear much.

To cap off his day of small-time events, Barack Obama dropped by Great Skates skating rink in Lafayette. The candidate shook hands and mingled with the locals as ’70s and 80’s music blared from the speakers. Twice during the Village People’s “YMCA,” Barack Obama spelled the letters out with his arms over his head as one is inclined to do, and while his daughters Sasha and Malia dared to skate as the cameras documented their every fall, a wise Barack and Michelle Obama instead walked the rink donned in street shoes with their girls.

Obama took the microphone for just a few minutes after spending nearly an hour inside and noted, “I need all of you to go out there and talk to your friends and your neighbors and tell them that this is an extraordinary time and an extraordinary election and that the people of Indiana are gonna be able to make a decision about the future of our country. You can’t let that chance pass by.”

Tomorrow the candidate will drop by another family picnic in Fort Wayne and canvass an Indiana neighborhood before speaking at the state party’s Jefferson Jackson Dinner.

forget about the white house obama,,,rev, wright is after you.

 
Comment by RC MO.

Obama seems to be out of his element in a scaled down setting. All he does is studder, and criticise his opponents. The big fiery speeches that never said anything worked better than trying to act normal.

He knows he’s got the blacks in Gary wrapped up. Going after the others now.

There is so much voter fraud here. The dem legislature won’t let us have voter ID.

Comment by paul

Since the media is refusing to reveal/report the Paul vs Clinton fraud case in court right now, we need to create our own movement and flood every blog on CNN and every blogging website on the World Wide Web with information from the case regardless of what the topic is. For those that don’t know - Google Paul vs Clinton and hold on to your shirt with what you read!!
For those of you who think this case has been thrown out or is irrelevant:
“In the landmark civil fraud case against Bill Clinton in Los Angeles, where the former President is charged with defrauding a Hollywood dot com millionaire to help Hillary Clinton obtain more than $1.2 million from him for her 2000 Senate campaign, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aurelio Munoz ruled on Friday, April 25, 2008 that Hillary Clinton would not be required to testify in a sworn deposition as a material witness in the case until AFTER the November election!.”(paulvclinton.com)
Here is the kicker - the judge is a Bill Clinton appointee!

 
Comment by kathy WI

Now Paul, you have sent that letter to every blog you can find and we know it’s nothing. Brought by a guy convicted of fraud 2 times and no charges against Hill. If there was anything to it the left stream Ob media would be all over it. Same with the Simon case against Ob. A professional suer. Thats how he makes his money. No there there.

How can someone who stated that if his daughter became pregnant, she should be able to abort in order to avoid the punishment claim to put children at the core of everything?

 
Comment by BZ

Michelle Obama is offensive. Between she and Wright I don’t know what hurts him more.
He will lose Indiana and NC. His fear and disappointment is papable when you see him on TV.
And MO’s anger is bubbbling at the surface.
I think it turns people off. And unfortunatly his “bitter” comments and his “too little too late” repudiation of Wright makes himlook like a phony. It’s all about his ego now, now about us.

i won’t fall for that. people need to wake up and see al the spin she is making.she lost my vote.

 
Comment by GOHILL

Obama is nothing more than a politician. Even his beloved “uncle” “spiritual advisor” Rev. Wright said that he says the things he does because he is a politician and he has to. Please IN and NC vote Hillary Clinton so we can win the White House in the General Election and be the best president ever. There is no doubt in my mind that Obama can not and will not win the GE, so I do not even have to worry about him becoming president. Although some Republicans have maintained for many months that Hillary Clinton was the weeker candidate, NOW all I hear on conservative talk radio is how they fear her because she is so tenacious. They genuinely admit that they admire her. They laugh about Obama and can’t believe how stupid the dems are for even considering him as their candidate. No question, McCain will be president if Obama is the dems candidate.

Thanks Dwight for putting it so well. I totally agree with you. Hillary is a LIAR and would say and do ANYTHING to get a vote, including misleading voters to think that they would get some type of HUGE benefit in that tax holiday prank she is trying to pull over on voters, she is NEVER HONEST, she won’t tell people how that tax holiday is going to just hurt us in the long run by driving up the OIL PRICES in order to make up for that BIG 30 CENTS A DAY savings.

Hillary is a JOKE and I would rather DROP DEAD instead of VOTE for her, I wont vote for Mccain, but I will SURE NUFF NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY,and I know that is pretty strong words, but that is how STRONG I feel about NOT LIKING THAT “WITCH” and what she stands for.

 
Comment by kelly

Hillary should be ashame to have a campaign advisor working for her in 2008 now who called the people of Indiana WORTHLESS SH-T. and called the people of Indiana WHITE N-GGERS. I find the comment very offensive to the people of Indiana and Hillary still has this guy working for her while she campaigns in Indiana. This is what she thinks about the people of Indiana. It is all on YOUTUBE also.

 
Comment by Miche Criste

I agree that Obama is much more impressive when he is making big speeches and not saying much of anything. He has a lot of trouble just talking to people.

If he can’t keep a 20 year relationship with his own pastor together why should we believe he can bring America together?

Kelly, no one in Senator Clinton’s campaign staff said those things. The video is a fake created by some poor misguided individual for the sole purpose of trying to discredit Senator Clinton and/or her staff.

 
Comment by breanna

obama had a problem with speech when he was growing up (heard this on talk radio yesterday). he has to hesitate in order to formulate his words and avoid stuttering. anyway, im not impressed , or inspired, by his speeches. he doesnt offer any real solutions but makes everyone think that he can. i feel sorry for the obamakins because they speak as if they never had any inspiration growing up and like they never had any hope until obama came along. thats sad. some young guy with very little political experience, as well as life experience and only just realizing his true identity, comes along and tells everyone that only he can change the way things are. like we cant change things ourselves? apparently not. like we are all so stupid that we cant make any moves without an educated upstart leading the way? it is quite obvious that obama really does think that his sh** dont stink and he and his wife do consider most americans to be beneath them. he and his wife are elitists. he says that he wants to change the way business takes place in washington. wow! who does he think he is? GOD? business in washington, and prior to that philly, has been perfomred the same way for 200 years. and hes gonna come in and change it? i dont think so. besides, he wont be able to do dip point sh** without the congress and senate and they are not about to change the way they do business. he would quickly give up on any fight with these two houses thus the reason why the super d’s and the dnc want him in. they KNOW they can pull his strings,… they cant pull hillary’s.

Linda J,
I agree. youtube is not a reliable source of information. any college educated person can tell you that and every high school student would argue the point. obama depends on the youth of this nation to get their info from the internet, as opposed to getting information from elders who are wise and who have been there and done that, scholarly writings, facts and statistics. obama is the typical politician depending on the uninformed. and why not? its easier to pull the wool over their eyes.

Comment by Sherry

As most of you already know, Barack Obama has gotten himself into another controversy regarding his apparent arrogance and apathy towards regular Americans. In a private and well shrouded fundraiser amongst the rich elite of San Francisco, and in the mansion of Pakistan native and ardently Muslim millionaire Sohaib Abbasi (CEO of Informatica), Obama was recorded saying: “You go into 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 going to regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then 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.” In the same speech, Obama is also recorded as saying that: “When people tell me they’ve all stressed about racial discord, well, you know, try slavery for a while,” obviously playing on the sentiments of these highly affluent (White and Arab) people who would basically presume that if you have dark skin in America you must therefore be connected in some way to slavery, although, as we all know, this is CLEARLY not the case.

 
Comment by The Black lady

Put your headsets on and listen to what Hillarys advisor said about Indiana voters, now some of you are saying that this is fake. Anybody who can read lips can see exactly what he said. Hillary will never be the nominee so it really doesn’t matter. I have a question why is so many of Hillary team switching to Obama, I am going to answer that for you. You never know a person until you live with them and then once you live with them you see the real deal. These people who are switching to Obama have seen the real deal with Hillary. If you want to see all the dirt on Hillary go to hilllaryproject.com and also watch “Hillary the movie”

Rev Wright should have used the line that the video was a fake since youtube is such an unreilable source.

 
Comment by breanna

sherry,
did obama really say “When people tell me they’ve all stressed about racial discord, well, you know, try slavery for a while,” i would think that if he did this would be all over the news or at least on the hannity show. my first response is of course, what the hell does obama know about slavery other than what he was taught? in fact, unless i hear it straight from a “slave”, i am not going to believe that anyone living today knows what its like to have been a slave ( in the terms that slavery was defined hundreds of years ago). slavery went out many many many years ago so if anyone today truly feels “enslaved” then it is of their own doing. i refus eto listen to anyome who says that society is “keeping them down” or continues to “enslave them”. why? again, because this is the USA, a free and democratic country. if you can not get ahead in this country, then it is because you dont want to or you dont know how to.

i agree totally. it might be necessary at this time to say that people see and hear what they want to see and hear and so naturally the lady who rebuffs the facts only want to do so because she is an obama supporter.
in response to the lady’s question “why is so many of Hillary team switching to Obama?” let me give you MY answer/opinon. maybe it has everything to do with the fact that obama is weak, his strings can be pulled, he can be maneuvered and manipulated once in office and hillary cant. politicians know hillary, they have been working with her for many years. they know that they can not “sway” her to their way of thinking and would not be able to get what THEY want and lets face it, they all want something. this is why they lean towards obama. hes young and places too much faith in human beings. big mistake especailly if they are a rep or a sen.

Comment by Dee Dee

Obama did pretty darn well for himself…..way better than most of those that criticize him and say that he doesn’t know anything and all of that craziness. He is an intelligent man, and Michelle is a very smart woman. Vote for whomever you want to vote for. I’m sick and tired of hearing that people don’t want to vote for him because of Rev. Wright. I don’t agree with my pastor on a lot of things, but I’m not leaving my church. I don’t agree with a lot of my church members, but I’m still not leaving my church. Get over it! Obama is the one running for president, and he is going to be our next president! GO OBAMA!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!! YES WE CAN!

 
Comment by breanna

obama said, in a speech, something like “people say that they sont know me,…i wrote two books”. well i think he was saying that if we dont him then we should read his books to get a better understanding. what a capital idea! instead of telling us who he is we should BUY his books to find out. well, i read some of each book and guess what? he doesnt like white people (he thinks they are arrogant) and also thinks that change can occur through the liberation of the races even if it means revolution. yes its true. he DOES think like ayers and wright and farrakan,…and people actually want him to be our president. dont know about you but i certainly dont want to see this nation being given to liberated groups of people. we are already seeing something like that with the illegal immigrant population.

i consider myself to be “incredibly smart” too but that doesnt mean that i have what it takes to be the leader of the free world. yea he has views of unity, so do i and so do millions of other people but having a view of unity requires the formulation of a realistic plan and then putting that plan into action. his is a view that we can all appreciate but NOT through the liberation of certain groups of people by way of a revolution. bipartisanship? this means that he has to be able to get along with all people in an effort to unify all people. he implied, in his philly race speech, that typical white people are the cause of such racial division and that these same people are responsible for fixing the problem. doesnt sound to me like hes willing to work with everyone to fix the problem.

read the speech that she gave on the floor prior to the vote. you will be surprised to find that she really didnt want to go to war and gave many good reasons to vote against it. she voted for it however because she , like everyone else that voted for it ( not obama though because he was anot a US senator at the time), believed what bush was saying, the evidence and did not want o take a chance with our lives should it be discovered that the evidence was true.

He is totally UNELECTABLE!!

 
Comment by breanna

John,
if obama were to drop out he would, in fact, be letting down his supporters ( most of which are black). he spent too many years trying to identify with the black community and so the last thing he will do is drop out. i do think however; that after nc and indiana, and especially if hillary wins nc or loses by small margin and then wins indiana big time, that the super d’s may come to her side. i hope so anyway.

 
Comment by John

Breanna,

There is nothing wrong voting for the war at that time. She voted for it based on NIE reports that Saddam had WMD. Many countries like Britain, and Germany had the same intelligence that pointed in that direction.

It is Bush that mis-managed the war. If Bush had managed the war properly and not rely on the poor advice from Rumsfield . Our troops would have come home long ago in triumph. Our troops has already achieved their military objective 2 years ago. It is the political front that is failing now. Hillary has nothing to do with this failure by the Iraqi Government. She is against keeping the troops there indefinitely, something which the republicans want.

She did the right thing at that time, just like many other liberal democrates did.

Comment by leighg1

Hillary just got a big boost by spinning gas tax. Experts say the suspension would only hike oil company profits! The trouble is not she got the problem wrong, but she got it wrong purposely to fool the voters.

150 Economists, including 3 Nobel Prize Winners, issued an open letter May 2 opposing suspension of gas tax for the summer and called it a bad public policy:

Brookings’ Henry Aaron sends over a statement (.pdf) signed today by 150 economists opposing the gas tax holiday. They include Nobelists Joe Stiglitz, James Heckman and Daniel Kahneman, as well as a Clinton O.M.B. director, Alice Rivlin, and Robert Shapiro, the chief economic adviser to Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign. The letter says “Signers of this letter are Democrats, Republicans and Independents.”

Link for the open letter here:
http://www.politico.com/static/PPM43_080502_list_gastax.html

Besides, the suspension would cost 7000 construction jobs in NC because of the lost $9 billion highway fund!

 
Comment by leighg1

Do you seriously question Obama’s patriotism? Obama’s character, integrity and sea mind demonstrated through this whole drama is what exactly this country needs if we stand any chance at all for a more perfect union. Ordinary person may leave a church on disagreement, but IF YOU WALK AWAY, HOW CAN YOU ACHIEVE UNITY? This is exactly the difference between an ordinary person and an extraordinary leader whom we can count on for making our country a better place for all.

On relationship with Wright: My husband and I have married for 27 years. Lately, I always have a feeling that I don’t know him in many ways. That’s not uncommon even between couples. Human beings are complicated creatures, and one can only be held responsible for one’s own conduct, not one’s kids, not one’s parents, not one’s spouse, never one’s pastors. How can people do not care Hillary’s lies, but care Obama’s pastor’s lies?

A fact on Obama’s life: After graduated from Columbia Univ., Obama took a job in IL at $12000/year plus $1000 for a car in the poorest, dirtiest neighborhood as a community organizer. All his family and friends thought he was crazy. How many of us can do that???

 
Comment by John

Leighg1,

Before I sign off, YES I very much questioned Obama INTEGRITY, MORALITY, JUDGEMENT, PATRIOTISM.

Obama represents OLD WASHINGTON MONEY-POLITICS.

He took money for Chicago entrepreneur Robert blackwell Jr. and later laundered money for him.
He took money from Tony Rezko in Chicago and in this election campaign.
He took money from Big Oil companies’ directors and executives.
He took money from the terrorist Bill Ayers.
He took money from the Black Panther group.
He took money from George Soros.
He took money from Oprah Winfrey.
He took money from Moveon.org.
… the list goes on.

He also spent government money (your tax dollar) on an Earmark in a hospital project which his wife sat in the board of directors. His wife later got a promotion and huge pay rise after that.

Comment by McKeebop

Are you people ready for what is to come in the next few months as your boy gets the spotlight on him? Poor old codger is going to be crucified over his Vietnam ‘hero’ stuff, more than Kerry ever was.

Here is a sample from the famous (late) Colonel Hackforth:

John McCain is being hailed by the press as a “genuine war hero.”

Yet in McCain’s own words just four days after being captured, he admits he violated the U.S. Code of Conduct by telling his captors “O.K, I’ll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.”

A Vietnam vet detractor says, “He received the nation’s third highest award, the Silver Star, for treason. He provided aid and comfort to the enemy! The facts are that he signed a confession and declared himself a “black criminal who performed deeds of an air pirate.” This statement and other interviews he gave to the Communist press press were used as propaganda to fan the flames of the antiwar movement.

McCain refused an early release. An act of valor? Three former POWs told me he was ordered to turn it down by his U.S. POW commander and he “just followed orders.”

Since the media is refusing to reveal/report the Paul vs Clinton fraud case in court right now, we need to create our own movement and flood every blog on CNN and every blogging website on the World Wide Web with information from the case regardless of what the topic is. For those that don’t know - Google Paul vs Clinton and hold on to your shirt with what you read!!
For those of you who think this case has been thrown out or is irrelevant:
“In the landmark civil fraud case against Bill Clinton in Los Angeles, where the former President is charged with defrauding a Hollywood dot com millionaire to help Hillary Clinton obtain more than $1.2 million from him for her 2000 Senate campaign, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aurelio Munoz ruled on Friday, April 25, 2008 that Hillary Clinton would not be required to testify in a sworn deposition as a material witness in the case until AFTER the November election!.”(paulvclinton.com)

the Global Poverty Act (S.2433). According to some conservative sources, this disastrous legislation could eventually force U.S. taxpayers to fork over as much as 0.7 percent of the nation”’’s Gross Domestic Product — or $845,000,000,000.00 — on welfare to third-world countries.
***This is being sponsored by Senator Obama.

His true agenda is to TAX,TAX,TAX and promote Black Theology.

 
Comment by OBAMA--TIES--TERRORISM

Obamas Hidden agenda:

Jihad !

%u201CWhile visiting that mercurial miscreant Libyan strongman Col. Muammar Qaddafi,
Farrakhan and Wright, struck a deal which secured millions of dollars from Libya to lobby or the secession of part of the United States. The goal is the formation of a
separate black nation on the North American Continent replete with a 500,000 man
army and nuclear weapons. %u201C

..and

Obama ,is standing in front of the camera himself for 52 seconds explaining how he will disarm the USA.

What we are talking about here IS NOT about politics and the differing
views concerning issues…..this is about the potential literal destruction of
this country by our enemies and our inability to defend ourselves against those
attacks.

This is a very short (52 seconds) video by Barak Obama in his own words
about how he plans to destroy our defense capabilities if elected.

Obama

From Dreams Of My Father; “I learned to slip back and forth between my black and white worlds,” he wrote in “Dreams.”

He slips back and forth tricking all those young and naive white college students to vote for him, a trick he learned.
__________________________________________________________
NBPP: You really need to observe these young college students … most are really so gullible, especially these social science and political science majors. I found them quite amusing to observe while going to college in the early 60s. Many of them are away from their moms and daddys for the first time, all of these left wing philosophies their left wing professors (guys like Ayers in the Univ. of Chicago) feed them sound so perfect and the perfect solution to all of the world’s problems, and many psychologically are looking for a cause that they can identify with and where they can become a part of a group (this need to be a part of a group and a cause is the biggest psychological draw for them). Watch the expressions on their faces when they are standing behind Obama and he is speaking … not a lot of independent thinkers in that group. I had a brother-in-law that was chairman of the philosophy department in a large mid-west university … let me tell you, it was beautiful to watch him in action and the way he sucked in these young minds.

My point is, and it is related to a part of your comment, this is exactly what Barak Husssein Obama is doing … “a New Direction”, “Yes We Can”, “Change”, and on and on. Sounds good doesn’t it … want to join the cause don’t you … it is amazing how someone can package BS and sell it to these young students. Nice work Barak … one thing I can’t deny, you are good at it.

Indy..great point about our “Anti-American” academia and their hold on young minds. The problem is though, you’d think these “young minds” would grow up and mature and see the world for what it really is. The trouble is so many 30, 40, 50 & 60 year old graying hippies that STILL live in their “utopia” of socialism.

The Clintons human errors won’t destroy America but unpatriotic Obama and his dangerous, antiamerican friends will be fatal for America.

The Clintons have always worked hard to help the american people, blacks even named him the first Black president. Bill Clinton is a valuable politician, his powerful speaches command top dollar from World leaders and others.

They are America’s dream team!

Today on Meet the Press, Mr. Obama stated that Americans aren’t Democrat or Republican, black or white, etc. etc. Yet the stated objectives of the Church he attended specifically enumerates a list of beliefs that are race focused. There is nothing subtle nor unclear about these statements. If one substuted “white Europeans” in each statement where the words are “black Africans”, and it was a white person who attended such a church, they would be labeled as a racist by all “Americans”.

Fellow Democrats, Independents, and well-minded Republicans,

** Obama has no room to talk about making the right judgement. Michelle Obama’s
college thesis from Princeton University was exposed and in it she said, “She felt
that she did not fit in with white people and that whites didn’t think of her much
because she was black.” Okay,… From my view I see Mrs. Obama as a first lady who
might be against white people. Also, she recently said, “I must admit it, I have
to say that I am proud of my country for the very first time.” This is not only
said sad since she’s been around for 45 years, but this worries me that she doesn’t
care about the great achievements that have happened like; the civil rights Act
of 1991, the fall of both communism and the Berlin Wall, the great economic growth
and prosperity which made the Nat’l Debt became a surplus for the 1st time in American
History which was achieved in the 1990’s.

** Hillary Clinton would clobber McCain and as President, she would restore the
nation to its former state which was before the Bush dictatorship

** Like Hillary Clinton said, “It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush,
it will definitely take another Clinton to clean up after this Bush”

A great lady for President!

Obama trying to look like he cares about small town people? Well didn’t surprise me he finally brought his family out so they look like a happy family.

He is so fake,He voted with Bush and Cheney on the oil saying no to windfall tax and investigating price setting 2 years ago, He was against a freeze on foreclosures and investing unfair lending last year but all of sudden now he wants them?

NOTHING COULD BE FINER THAN TO VOTE IN CAROLINA ..FOR HILLARY FOR PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE!! MAKE US PROUD NORTH CAROLINA!!

 
Comment by billy

lovAmerica ,

It seems Obama and Michelle feel this way. Obama fell in love with a “white” girl in college but when he felt he would need to become part of the “white” world he dumped her and later married Michelle. So I wonder how he is an uniter due to he couldn’t even unite his own race issues.

Great point…and YES, if you were a candidate that attended the “white racist” church you described, your candidacy wouldn’t still be a viable one. So much for “double-standards”.
