Confidence v. Presumptuousness
The Obama campaign did not campaign in any of the five states yet to cast votes for the Democratic nominee today (a morning event in Kentucky was cancelled due to Senate votes), opting to visit Missouri and Michigan, states that will be key for a Democratic victory in November. “I’ll be back because we’re gonna be competing in Missouri,” Obama promised voters in Cape Girardeau, MO, while taking aim at John McCain on issues ranging from the economy to Iraq to the environment. Surely signs of a campaign confident of a victory, despite getting creamed by Senator Clinton in West Virginia today.
But when asked by a voter at his Missouri town hall if Hillary Clinton might be his running mate, a more emure Obama replied, “It’s too early. Senator Clinton is still competing; we haven’t resolved this nomination - I haven’t won the nomination yet.” He added, “It would be presumptuous of me to pretend like I’ve already won and start talking about who my vice president’s going to be. I’ve still got more work to do.”
done
Obama phoned Senator Clinton before taking off for Michigan (the first time the candidate has been there since speaking at an NAACP dinner there last June) to congratulate her on her WV victory. The frontrunner didn’t get through to tonight’s victor, however, and left her a voice mail.

Michelle is off to Puerto Rico tomorrow in light of Hillary’s big win tonight in West Virginia. Hope they boot her off the island.
Hillary for President, I hope they keep her.
Michelle appars to be getting better on the stump. She will only get better with practice.
Barack is sooooo arrogant. He thinks his butt is made of gold. He is a sore loser and a sore winner at the same time according to Karl Rove. Barack won’t win middle class Whites. Bittergate and Jeremiah Wright have damaged him deeply. Now McCain needs to keep picking Obama’s scabs and the White House stays in Republican hands.
Michelle in Puerto Rico? Heh, they are big on the Larry Sinclair story there. Wonder if she will be asked about that?
thats right he wont win middle class whites, he wants middle class everyone.
the green ones , the purple ones, the yellow ones, the red ones .
the ones that want to unite and make it better for all of us.
change coming soon.
just my opinion
Obama has a lot of nerve going to Michigan and Florida. He wants their votes in November but not in the primary.
I hope they protest him in Florida & Michigan.
I LOVE West Virginia!!!!!!!
The truth is all coming out about Obama now!!!

thank you West Virginia
Dems. so unfair to Hillay. They asked Hillary to step down then want Hillay’s supporters the support Obama. They even want her to be Obama’s VP so they can get Hillay’s supporters votes. What a joke so rude and need her help. No way even if she agree to be his VP a lot of us still wouldn’t vote for Obama.
Hillary or McCain
Belle in Seattle - no the biassed news media and obama plants reservie those kind of questions for Chelse.
MICHELLE HAS TO PRACTICE IN THE MIRROR, SMILE, AND REPEAT.I DONT HATE AMERICA,I DONT HATE AMERICA, I DONT HATE ANERICA. I FIND IT PATHETIC THAT SHE HAS TO LEARN TO CONTROL HER HATRED FOR HER OWN COUNTRY. AND THE MAJORITY OF ITS PEOPLE !!!

Retire the pantsuits

the partys over
What’s so bad about this is that Barack Obama will be paying off her 20 million dollar debt
Annie, you are sadly right
OBAMA has breathtakingly out-organized, out-raised, out-smarted Hillary. And nothing she can do at this point can reverse any of that. Sadly.
OBAMA WILL NEVER BECOME A PRESIDENT, NEVER! Macain Will, reather have Macain than
Obama and his pack of terrorist friends.
OBAMIANS and PARTY LEADERS are ignoring Obamas association with racists and antiamerican
like J. WRIGHT, AYERS, ODINGA, FARRAKAN, REZCO an others and are about to place
american’s future in hands of criminals. Those people are no good for America!!
not to be trusted!. They are good friends and allies of Obama, That is fatal for
America.
COLOR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT OBAMA AND HIS ANTIAMERICAN FRIENDS.

OBAMA IS TRYING TO BUY HIS ELECTION WITH ARAB MONEY.
a writer who lives in London is saying that the Muslims are rejoicing at the prospect
of Obama as President. If that doesn’t speak volumes, what does? I agree that
he is getting Arab money. My friend said they send money to Muslim mosques around
the country, including Black Muslims (Farrakhan, eg.) and then the money is contributed
in the name of the members. That’s how
the source of the money is disguised. But the media has given him a free ride and
has put a lid on anything that detracts from his candidacy. My question is WHY?
Any thoughts on why the media is doing it?
OBAMA takes money from William Ayers - the unrepentent terrorist.
Here’s a picture of Ayer’s stomping on the American flag.
http://www.audacityofhypocrisy.com/
Obama and him are good pals!
I hope Hillary denies a VP proposal, that would be insulting to her and to her
supporters, this ANTIFEMENIST party and the Obamians will rejoyce to such a dive
for EXPERIENCED Hillary.
And if Hillary is to Joint INEXPERIENCE, unpatriotic Obama’s ticket her supporters
will still vote for Macain for 2 reasons:
1- Questionable Obama and his terrorist friends will be fatal for America,
they will be the last bullet to AMERICA’S HEART.
2- This sorry Democratic Party did wrong to Hillary and we want nothing to
do with this ANTIFEMENIST, CHAOTIC, UNFAIR, HYPOCRITE PARTY.
FLORIDA and MICHIGAN video WHAT WAS OBAMA AFRAID OF? 50 States not 48!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9FU8XlYiCo
If not Hillary then Macain on 08!
TO HILLARY SUPPORTERS: PLEASE DON’T EVER SUPPORT OBAMA, his arab money and ANTIFEMENISTS of her own party have screwed up her chances.
I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR AN ARAB DESCENT WITH TERRORISTS FRIENDS, never! I rather
vote for bozo the clown if he was a candidate.
AN EYE FOR AN EYE!
If not Hillary then MACAIN for 08! period!
Dear Hillary, I feel bad what your own party has done to you, so unfair, bias and
antifemenist.
We all know this party process has mess up your chances to be nominated. I fear
by the time Mich and Florida votes are counted MOST OF THE FLAKY SUPERDELEGATES
HAVE MOVED TO UNPATRIOTIC OBAMA SIDE, superdelegates have been jumping like craizy
crickets lately from one side to the other without even waiting for the 50 States
primaries to be completed and Mich and Florida counted before they decided what
candidate to support. very UNDEMOCRATIC!
I have being a democrat all my life but I have had it, I’m ashamed that America
has such undemocratic party. WE YOUR SUPPORTERS WILL NEVER VOTE FOR ARAB-DESCENT
OBAMA AND HIS TERRORIST FRIENDS, NEVER! if he is the nominee by corruption you
can support him but we won’t.
I think Col. North says its the best!

I see all the FOX, Republicans, and HRC Hill/Billy sleaze are out tonight.
I’ve always felt that Obama was getting money from the Muslims. I assumed it was coming in and being laundered by the Chicago mob, since he HAS to make a trip to Chicago every couple of weeks. But the way you explain it makes more sense, but I have always said he has to be getting it from the Muslim countries. His constituents could NOT be giving that much money. College students don’t have money to donate and neither do the majority of the black community, so it has to be coming from somewhere else, now we know where. God Bless America and God Bless Senator Clinton.
THE MEDIA, PARTY LEADERS AND OBAMIANS CAN BARK ANYTHING THEY WANT.
THEY ARE SIMPLY RUDE PRESSURING SEN CLINTON TO QUIT when all the 50 STATES primaries
have not been completed, FLORIDA AND MICH VOTES have not been counted and CHAOTIC
INDIANA RESULTS INVESTIGATED! Is this Legal at voting polls? NOOOOOO
http://youtube.com/watch?v=A5goTs_Bp8I
FLORIDA and MICHIGAN, 50 STATES, NOT 48!, but the time this inept party decides seat Fl and Mich it will be tooooooo late.! won’t make any difference to Sen Clinton. This Democratic party is doomed!
OBAMA IS HAVING ACTIVE TALKS WITH HAMAS AND GOT BUSTED!!!!
HE IS TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT AWAY LIKE HE DIDN’T KNOW….LIKE HE DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT HIS
PASTOR

If he EVER says he does not support hamas HERE IS THE PROOF he is LYING!!!!
GOD HELP US!!!!!! PLEASE GET THE WORD OUT!!!!
“Under the Independence Constitution of Kenya, Obama became a Kenyan citizen on
>>>>>>>>> OBAMA’S DUAL CITIZENSHIP……………….
December 12, 1963. He has never renounced his Kenyan citizenship. On his senate
web site, Obama tap dances around his own dual nationality when discussing his father.
It’s accepted knowledge Obama has dual citizenship with Kenya. His father was a
Kenyan national. I’m happy to stand corrected on that if anyone can prove me wrong.
You know..the father Obama first told us was brought here by President Kennedy but
had to back out of that when he was confronted with the fact that his father was
here 2 years before Kennedy was president.
Grill-ary is done
get over it will ya
Dont worry hillary supporters are not falling for obama anyway. this hillary supporter will stick to her guns come fall. I will not support that racist for president. I come from michigan talk about disenfrancising voters if need be i vote mccane.

Obama lies about his religion:
I have been a democrat for decades, but now, if Osama wins, I have to vote republican.
I just read about this Osama closet muslim and he is very scary. The thought of
this person in charge of our military is umbelievable! The reason Osama was against
the Irag invasion was beacuse Iraq is a muslim nation! Osama lied about his religion,
he was/is a muslim. He outwardly changed religion because a muslim would have a
more difficult time being elected. His long time partner in crime, Resko, is a Syrian
muslim. Resko raised a huge fortune to get Osama started in politics. As you may
know, Resko is in jail without bound and his trial was set for march 04, if Obama
didn’t have the date changed. I found this website, very
informative, http://www.freedomsenemies.com/_more/obama.htm
dw
a racist president. tell me when has obama ever said anything racist in this campaign. give me quotes please….
I can give you a whole laundry list of things billary has said
Omentum.
Love your posts
let’s see
MLK was a great leader but it took LBJ to pass the laws he stood for - hillary
Jessie Jackson did well in sc too - bill
Some folks in PA are not ready to vote for a AA - rendell
Barack is not getting the hardworking blue collar white votes
theres more…
Barack Obama’s disturbing associations with
a domestic terrorist (Ayers), to a prominent Palestinian advocate of suicide bombings
(Khalidi), a corrupt Iraqi billionaire (Auchi), a sleazy personal fundraiser and
mafioso (Rezko), and to his own genocidal maniac of a cousin from Kenya (Odinga),
for whom Obama led a “positive” campaign effort to achieve his “election” a few
years back. As many of us know, Obama’s camp has recently taken a defensive stance
and have dedicated countless hours to spread the word around the internet that these
issues are “irrelevant” to a Presidential campaign and that bringing them up are
thus a full exemplification of “dirty politics”.
Osamabama
A mind is a terrible thing to waste. There’s still time for you.
Is it just me or is Hillary’s butt getting bigger everyday
Obama’s money comes from wealthy backers, like George Soros. Soros gives it to large organizations that split it up into smaller amounts and give it to small organizations and it looks like the money is coming from some where other wealthy radicals. Obama will owe Soros when he is elected. Obama will be elected. He and the press have set the ground rules. Anything said bad about Obama is dirty politics and anything racial, no matter how it is supported by fact, is race baiting. The press will start kissing his butt again soon because it gets them ratings. The press lets Obama distort McCain’s “100 year war” statement but they jump on McCain when he points out Hamas wants Obama to win. This is a valid point. Obama has accused Republicans of voting for Hilary because they think she is the weaker candidate. This is exactly why Hamas is “voting” for Obama. One last point, notice how Obama lost WV by 30 points when there weren’t enough black people to band to gether to vote for him? Do you see white people or Latino people or Asian people banding together to vote for the candidate of the same color??? 90% black vote is racist, no other word for it. I hope Condolisa Rice is McCain’s VP choice. Then the press would have to kiss McCains butt so they wouldn’t be sexist or racist. Also, its a shame that the Democrats didn’t run Colin Pawell instead of Obama. I would have voted for a Powell/Rice ticket, but not for an arrogant snob with no resume except “hope” and “change”.
Yellow is not a good color when you got that much butt
How can you Stop the madness when you ARE THE MADNESS
This is a reply to OSAMABAMA his voters are educated and know better than to believe your Hillary scare tactics. You really need to get a reality check and fact check. Obama is gonna win this nomination and the presidency get over it. We need change and we need it now. Hillary Clinton is scary in fact a walking nightmare. Her record speaks for itself. Worked on Healthcare for 8 years a disaster. Married to a liar and a cheat still. Voted for the War in Iraq. Takes the negative to new levels. Witchypoo needs to throw in the towel. Obama has more of the popular vote, more delegates, now more superdelegates OBAMA for President !
we can talk about hamas. they have more of a word than our own people. dont fool yourself.
you dont want to face the fact that they have became stronger under republican control. now yes we all have to talk about them and deal with them.we as a nation will be stronger than thier voice. also lets not mention during past years north korea became
a nuclear threat, under republican watch. their will be a change, you can smell it in the air.
live with it, change is inevitable
Hillary’s butt isn’t as big as obama’s ears!
At the risk of offending some folks. I think its a complement to score higher with folks that have post highschool education.
Maybe that should be a sign to others that critical thinkers may just have it right.
DUMBO
Come on now during this campaign Hill went from a singlewide to a doublewide. To many big macs….
that’s about all they can afford now
obama has lost the middle class in every racial group except blacks. 41 point thumping!
Dwight ….
you are such a scaredy pants. BOOO!!!!!! come back Dwight ….come back…….
If you talk to hamas the big bad boogy man is going to come and get you….
GROW UP.
That’s why obama left WV. Tornado warning! If those ears get caught in the wind? Whew!
I can not beleive obama supporters think that he can win a GE with EGGHEADS AND BLACKS! Good Luck!
talk to hamas?…talk to hamas?….talk to hamas?…obama better figure out how to talk to the white working class!
read my lips , just read my lips.
we as a nation are not afraid of any one or any religion or race.
we will be united in the end.
talk into the microphone.
WE !
as the rock said ,
can you smell it ! no fear here. me and my friends SMITH and WESSON
must be getting late
What is that people do not understand the Hamas news was to send a message to a certain block of voters As was the Rev.Wright out burst was to send a message to another blok of voters .I mean duh
obama loses 45 states in the GE.
Michelle reminds me of a VERY angry gorilla. UGH! NOT a classy first lady at all.
Silver Back? UGH!
Could someone explain to me why over 50 % of the ‘educated’ voted for Hillary? Hmmm… could be their finally wising up.
White Flight?
Omentum,
You are a typical Obama supporter, When all else fails call every one uneducated or make fun of some one. How High school of you. I’ll tell you what if being so called “educated”
and an Obama supporter means acting anything like you I will never agree to it. I will vote for McCain if Hillery does not get the nomination, and trust me there are a lot of us. So you need to grow up and learn that name calling will never win people over it just makes us more determined.
You can’t fool me,
What do you look like? You couldn’t walk a day in Michelle Obama’s shoes. She is extremly educated making 300k a year all while raising two beautiful daughters. You are an ignorant racist. Move to West virginia they need you!!
Bean,
Your candidate’s name is Hillary with an A. Go back to school!!!
CONGRATULATIONS HILLARY!!! MILLIONS OF VOTERS & SUPPORTERS WANT YOU AS PRESIDENT OF THE USA - WEST VA PROVED THIS TONIGHT
THANK YOU WEST VIRGINIA - VERY SMART PEOPLE!!!
Maybe next time obama will not be so arrogant and take for granted people of WV - maybe he should at least visit WV & KY and ask for a vote or two. Maybe he should not pick states with alot of AA’s to carry him and campaign in all 50 States.
Don’t go to FL or MI now - they do not want him until he agrees to count all the votes!
Keep Fighting HILLARY!!
SADDLE UP!
Thump Thump-Obama lost bad tonight. He is loosing some of the college kids too. They finally figured out that there was nothing behind that RAH RAH hope and change. All rhetoric and no substance. I wondered how long it was going to take for people to figure out what a fraud he is.
CONGRATULATIONS HILLARY!!!
Maybe obama should concentrate on the Primary and trying to win the nomination before he jumps ahead to the General Election - he has NOT won - as proved tonight by WV. - thanks WV!
Do’t be so ARROGANT obama.
Obama 08,
let’s see. Which state is racist. I did not see Hillary getting 90% of the white vote. I see NC AS BEING RACIST!
Obama won’t need West Virginia. He is going to change the electoral map just like he did for this primary. He will put a lot of other states into play and West virginia can take their uneducated poor racist state and go and shove it.
3 million new dems have registered to vote because of Obama NOT Hillary and the Obama campaign has just started a national register to vote campaign. I just picked up my three packs from headquarter and me and my friends will be registering hundreds of Obama supporters!!!!
Go Hillery! I for one am hopimg and praying you get the nominatiom. I won’t vote for a man who sits in a pew listening to hate and degroggatory slurs about our country. Accussing everyone else for everything that has ever gone wrong in his life. Someone who degrades and belittles the middle working class. I am told if I don’t vote for Obama I am racist. I thought voting was for the best person for the job. But to quote Obama one of those bitter, uneducated, clinging to guns and God white people. and thats why I don’t vote for him. Not because he has little to no experience, Not because he won’t respect our flag or national anthem. Not because he reguards the middle class as low lifes. Not because he associates with questionalbe people.Not because he voted present on tough issues. And you say I’m uneducated and racist. I vote for the one who has a proven record. One we know everything about,the one who can win. GO HIllery! Or if not her Mccain
Molly,
concentrate on the Primary and trying to win the nomination?
############################################
He doesn’t have to, because obama has Howard Dean and the DNC in his pocket!
Obama won’t need West Virginia. He is going to change the electoral map?
************************************************************
TO RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blacks have always supported the democratic party by 90%. Second, you must realize this is the first time a qualified black man is running for President. I think blacks should get a pass and be allowed to be proud for once in their history.
What I see is a country that is still very racially divided!
Obama can forget about coming to Florida. He is not going to get our vote. He is so arrogant he thinks he can block a revote and then come down here and we will vote for him. LOL
By the way Obama all the way!
He is snubbing the voters in WV.
Monk,
You have made your point, don’t vote for him but don’t sit there and paint Hillary as some Angel dressed in white with twinkle dust all around her.
Water gate
peter paul
husband impeached
nafta
the clinton library
and on and on and on.
Most people do not trust Hillary Clinton. She will do and say anything to win the Whitehouse, but if she is the VP or the nominee I will vote for her. If you want to vote for Mccain then go right ahead traitor.
By the way Obama all the way to the Democratic loser hall of fame:
Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore (hanging chad), John Kerry, and Barack Obama. Notice the pattern? All losers! What is really funny, is that they sometimes vote in an attempt to reanimate John F. Kennedy… Democrats have lost 7 of the last 10 presidential election, with nomminees backed by educated affluent liberals, college students, and African Americans. The record speaks for itself! Seems to me the Democratic party has a flaw in its nomminating process.
The General Election is not a caucaus. Obama will never win. Some of the people are having buyers remorse. They didn’t know he was a Chicago thug when they voted.
Obama 08,
We do not want a fairy like obama. We want Hillary-a pitt bull!
What happened in FL and Michgan is not Obama’s fault. Why did Hillary sign the pledge not campaign in both states? Why didn’t she fight for the voters then? She didnt think about you guys being disenfranchised then? No only when she seen she needed it to win.
144,555 victory margin with 98% in. Rev. Wright second round is starting to kick in!
Dumbo
Lets elect the pit bull and once again nothing gets done. She couldn’t get universal healthcare the 8 years she was in the whitehouse, why? Because she is a fighter. Fight fight fight. All she wants to do is fight.
If Mcain gets elected nothing gets done. A democratic house and a republican president. Stailmate again.
Obama 08,
We have had a majority Democratic Congress for 2 years. Why hasn’t anything getting done?
Because of Bush. Bush vetos all bills from congress and congress votes against all bills from bush. That is why nothing is getting done.
Obama loses in 08,
Stailmate again? George Bush had a Republican Congress for 6 years, and got everything he wanted. War? Tax cuts? That’s why we need the checks and balances!
Obama loses in 08,
What makes you think obama will do any different?
Obama 08
Clinton came to Fl after the polls closed before she even knew she won. Everyone was upset because their vote was not going to count. She told us she would fight to have our votes counted. A revote in Fl and Mi was paid for and Obama blocked it because he knew he would lose. Get your facts straight. I live in Fl I know what happened.
At the time Hillary was trying to get healthcare passed no one wanted it. They didn’t think it was that important then. Now everyone wants it. Her plan covers everyone. Obama thinks that everyone would want it if they could afford it. Not true 20% of the people that do not have healthcare make over $75,000 a year.
