Obama Orders Faithful to “Be Nice to Clinton Supporters”
by Bonney Kapp
At a fundraiser last night in Portland that raked in an estimated $350,000 to his campaign coffers, Barack Obama predicted a victory in Oregon, and said he believed the resulting delegate haul would “put us over the top.”
“We will be able to say we have won a majority,” he said. “But we have a lot of work to do ahead of us.”
For Dems to win in November, he said, it will require a unified Party, adding: “That means all of you have to be nice to Clinton supporters.”
After Tuesday there are three more contests.

Yes, they do think we are stupid!
Hilbert
PELOSI AND HOWARD DEAN AND THE D.N.C……. R. I. P………. NICE TO CLINTON SUPPORTERS WHEN HE NEEDS US …………. THIS GUYS IS A JOKER…….
IS HILLARY OR MCCAIN…………… SO FORGET ABOUT US OBAMA WIN WITH CNN. AND MSNBC. AND THE FAR LEFT……….. WE DO NOT NEED CLINTON SUPPORTERS…………OBAMA IS A FRAUD…………………..
Senator Obama sounds more like a parent talking to pre-schoolers than a potential Commerder in Chief of a great nation.
They should be nice to all us Clinton suppporters as opposed to all being all nasty as they have been. Nice try Rev. Tawana Obama. Ain’t happening, go get your votes elsewhere. Maybe those stupid evangelicals may believe that cross you are parading, because anyone with any sense sure doesn’t.
Obama - Piss Off. You will never have my vote, you FRAUD!.
THE MEDIA DO NOT UNDERSTAND NOBODY CAN TELL US WHO YOU GOING TO VOTE FOR NO MATTER HOW HARD THE PUSH …….. THEY REALLY BELIEVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE FOOLS BUT THEY WILL BE PROVEN WRONG…………………. NO TO B. OBAMA………. OBAMA GET THE VOTE O CNN. AND MSNBC THEY WILL PUT YOU IN OFFICE.
THIS GUYS IS NOW WEARING A FLAG LAPEL,,,, WHAT A JOKER………..
You do not have to be nice to me because your nomination is not ligitimate.
Florida and Michigan must be included.
Rules ar rules but the rules broke the rules.
This is the USA not Zimbabwe or some other bad country.
Wake up DNC. Do not do the Libberman job on Hillary.
eric
caps lock button push it
Obama is being condescending to Hillary and her supporters. How arrogant can you be!
Now they want to be nice?
A little late on that one “Zippy”!
You slander us for a year and now we are “supposed” to forgive and forget?
Yeah Right!!!
Don’t bother.
Yes, we are stupid. We clung to the Clintons even though they were spotted 100 super delegates and squandered not only that but 175 million dollars and for what? Second place in a race they should have easily won? And there is no money left either. Somebody was and is stupid. I”m afraid I was one of those but now its about keeping the republicans out of the white house, the congress and the senate. I won’t be fooled again.
Obama the great uniter has created the most hate ever seen by any politician ever to campaign in this country. His supporters are rabid haters of anyone not in the cult which thereby turns off the people not in the cult to never support him. I am obviously a non-cult member. I am not likely to start drinking Obama’s KoolAid when Hillary is forced out. I would like to see Ron Paul and Clinton pair up on the independent ticket. Otherwise I will gladly vote for McCain.
OBAMA NEED TO KNOW THEY BROKE THE D.N.C……. HILLARY SHOULD RUN INDEPENDENT…
OBAMA WIN WITH THE PEOPLE OF JOHN EDWARDS…… NANCY PELOSI,,,, HOWARD DEAN
CNN, MSNBC…………. YOU DO NOT NEED HILLARY SUPPORTES VOTE……..
SO YOU THINKS BE NICE A GET THEIR VOTE AND THEM F—K THEM… YOU ARE JOKER
WE ARE NO STUPIDS AS YOU THINKS WE ARE, SO FACT START LOOKING YOU VOTE SOMEWHERE ESLE…………MY HILLARY OR MCCAIN…..
Tommy….go back to December 2006 when the democrats took over Congress. You’ll come up with a LONG List of Bills they Vetoed and Now you have seen how things Could get worst, because they did. Your own party, the ones Liberal Far Left Democrats, are the ones Fooling you.
jt
dnc by- laws actually said they can only strip 50 % of the delegates not 100 %. even if it gets resolved at best, she will have to decide would she rather have them all seated or sacrifice 50%.they both agreed in writing. may not seem fair for voters, but also not fair for voters when all are not on the ballots.
wont matter in the end unless a true scandal arises. we would have heard it by now.
What a crock. They want his supporters to play nice now, just to insure he is nominated. They will be back to the guerrilla politics as soon as he does.
Then it will be worse.
His support enforcers will go strait for the throat in the general.
NOW OBAMA IS WEARING A FLAG LAPEL………… WHAT A JOKER……………..
FLAG PIN NOW, WHAT WRONG WITH THIS GUYS…… WHO IS B. OBAMA FOR REAL………….
Why won’t the media talk about Larry Sinclair and Obama? This needs to come before it’s too late.
SHUT YOUR TRAP OBAMA. This old dog had rather scratch fleas than vote for you. It ain’t agonna help none even if you talk HILLARY in to being your vice-president. HOWEVER, America will certainly be better off with her in the White House with BILL in the closet advising her if she has enough say and power to keep your stupid ass straight. Although I believe you are too much of a traitor to this country for that to happen. I WILL VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 08.
Jaime
It’s already too late. Hillary should have pulled that weed when it was only an inch high. now it’s a tree. Too late
eric.
Don’t mind the flag pin. He is just pandering. he is trying to trick people. Too many excuses on why he would not wear the flag to believe he wants to now.
His campaign manager must have told him to wear it.
It is all about Guerrilla politics and marketing!
PELOSI AND HOWARD DEAN THEY WORSE FOR THE D.N.C.
BE NICE TO HILLARY SUPPORTERS!!! THAT WON’T WORK THEY HAVE ALREADY MADE IT CLEAR THEY DON’T NEED US!! SO AS FAR AS I’M CONCERN I WANT SOMEONE WHO LOVES AMERICA AND NOT JUST SAYING WHAT WE WANT TO HERE FOR POLITICAL REASONS!!! LIKE HIS MENTOR WRIGHT SAID HE DOES!!! ALSO WHERE DID EVERYONE GET HE DENOUNSED HIS PASTOR? ALL HE SAID IS THAT IT WAS GOING TO CHANGE THEIR REALATION SHIP!!!HE NEVER DENOUNCED HIM!!!

do you know why congressmen and women were those lapel pins?
its about stature. positions they hold. some would even call that wearing them classifies you as an Elitist.
some people dont like to just represent just one thing. “more that makes a man then his clothes”
my grandmother use to tell me . she was devout catholic.
You do not have to be nice to me beceause I might vote fo McCain.
I will vote for Hillary as Independent.
Bring our Troops Home with Honor, Dignity, and Pride. Vote Peace Not Change
McCain -08
HE CAN WRAP HIM SELF UP IN THE AMERICAN FLAGS AND STIIL I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS MEN…
WHAT CAN A CHANGE OBAMA OFFERS…… CHANGE I SEEN THIS SLOGAN BEFORE…….. BUT CHANGE TO WHAT…….
Thrifts.
Hi. I’d like to respond to:
“some people dont like to just represent just one thing”.
If he wants to be our President, you can bet he had better represent just one thing. The country that flag represents is that one thing!

Really?
Jo Anne: Good One
NOBODY WANTS WAR BUT WE ARE WAR SO YOU CAN NOT JUST BRING THE TROOPS HOME THERE HAS TO BE GOOD PLANS AND WE MUST WIN THE WAR IN IRAK……
Obama in Oregon using his Scare tactics on the senior citizens….does he have no shame At All??
rwethereyet.
Thanks.
Obama’s first reason for not displaying the Flag was, “I don’t want to offend anybody”!
What???
If displaying our flag is offensive to some people, imagine how offended those people will be if he is our President!
Anothe crock!
eric.
you are right.
Even if people think we should not have gone, that does not help now.
We broke it, we owe it to the innocent Iraqis to make sure they are safe, before we leave!
We have a personal responsibility to those innocents. We did this!
eric
calm down eric. dont get yourself riled up.
we are all americans in the end.
hatred wont help any one.
just follow the issues and make your choice. long way from november .
what did that comedian sheri oteri use to say in snl
YOU GOTTA CALM DOWN ! ):)-
eric and Jo Anne are 100% right. We did it to the Iraq citizens and we have to fix it for them Before we just pull out the troops. Obama says he will begin pulling them out within 60 days of taking office….that is scary.
Nothing like telling our enemies our strategies Omaba
BO is a FRAUD !
what are they going to do ?? CALL US SWEETIE ????? ROFLMAO NICE TRY I am extremely secure in knowing that unless Hillary is on that ticket I will be writing her in or voting for Mcain I know who broke the democratic party and it is not Hillary … and nothing that idiot can say or do will change my mind
Does Obama really think that comments such as “be nice to Clinton supporters” is really the way to win us over? It sounds like he is saying to put up a fake front and say anything to get the Clinton supporters vote. It won’t work. There are a large percentage of Clinton supporters who will not vote for Obama no matter what. His values and his associations are not what we want in the next President. Not only will I not vote for Obama, but I will vote for McCain. You get what you see in McCain (which is something you cannot say for Obama). I know that Obama wants everyone to think that McCain is another Bush, but he is so wrong. McCain has years of experience and was said to be the republican that all democrats loved. He may have a temper at times, but he is not a pansy like Obama. Where are your values Obama? To say you will have enough delegates to put you over the top? Last time I checked the rules, the super delegate votes are not solidified until August and they can change their mind. So Obama you can be as “nice” as you want, but it won’t change my mind and it won’t change my vote.
You Hill supporters are a trip. You would rather vote for a candidate that holds no similar positions with Hillary or not vote at all. You complain about Michigan and Florida but not about Hillary agreeing to the DNC rules. You have heard the interview in which she said she didn’t know why Michigan was holding the vote, since it wasn’t going to count? Of course she was in New Hampshire during that interview prior to the primary there and didn’t want to piss off the voters in that state. Obama has played by the rules and may be the nominee. The rules also provide for super delegates. If they don’t support Obama, they can give it to Hillary. That is also the rules. Should that happen Obama should accept the results and campaign for Hillary. the goal is to defeat the repubs, bottom line. Issues that Obama and Clinton agree on for the most part like healthcare, economic policy, the war in Iraq, etc. will be lost this season. Obama cannot win without Hillary supporters, but neither could Hillary win without Obama supporters. We either sink or swim together this election, no matter how much we can’t stand each other.
BO now comments about ‘hate mongering’ as a bad thing . ha ha ha
He worshiped ‘HATE MONGERING’ for 20 years…………………
BO is a FRAUD !
good luck with that “sweetie”
Swannie, I am with you. I will write in Hillary. Maybe if all of the Clinton supporters write her in we may have a chance yet of getting her elected. How can we spread the word? Write in Hillary! Write in Hillary!
Obama supporters-don’t bother being nice to me. I hope Hillary fights all the way to the convention. If she is not the nominee I will vote McCain. You will never be MY President and I will always support any movement or organization that opposes you!! Hillary 08!!
I just have to wonder about what these paid bloggers are REALLY thinking about Obama!! I myself would be thinking that Obama thinks people are pretty stupid to fall for that!! Being nice to Hillary supporters so they will change their minds in Nov. If he has to do that then it pretty much shows that Obama knows he is finished….Completely!!!!
Yes Proud Dem….We believe that Obama is soooo bad that we are willing to put another bush in office. Obamas freaky friends are the reason why Obama will loose!!!
WILL NEVER VOTE FOR MCCAINE. NOTHING BUT A DECEPTION
YOU DRINK THAT KOOL AIDE YOU’LL BE LOOKING LIKE HIM TOO.
WAR MONGER, FLIP FLOPPER, WOMANIZER.
Also Proud dem, Hillary does not need the AA votes to win, we never needed them and we never will!!!
Peggy…writing in Hillary won’t work. the majority of voters will be using a machine. writing in Hillary for those that don’t use a machine is like giving a vote to Obama.
This is what Obama should have said, “Yes, while my campaign and I have attacked Hillary and done a very Rovian character assassination, I do think it’s time we put our differences aside, now that I have successfully made everyone to believe she is a liar. But please, be nice to Clinton supporters so I can get their donations.”
caneneeded: McCain is #1 an AMERICAN that we KNOW Loves THIS country. You can’t Change That!
Yes indeed. Be nice to Hillary. In fact, do put her on the ticket, and if you do, I will vote for you, Obama. Otherwise I will stay at home in November.

You can type it in!!!
Proud Dem doesn’t seem to get the Message that Hillary supporters Do NOT “Trust” Obama. That’s Not something Obama can “talk” away…sweetie
Patty, NJ…. Oh, I didn’t Know that. Will it still count for Hillary???
Jokesters, jokesters - the Clintons need to go back to Arkansas. I love Bill, but he is not running - you Clinton supporters need to recognize you are not voting for Bill, but his divisive, fake, and unlikeable wife.
And McCain is just another Bush - it’s Obama all the way!! We need leadership that can rally the troops, engage foreign countries in diplomatic relations, and try to salvage what is left of America’s reputation around the world. These are areas where both Obama and Bill Clinton excel, but since Bill is not on the ticket, it looks like Obama is the best choice.
Want another cowboy, go ahead, vote for McBush or Clinton.
Peggy thank you so very much itis gratifying to find a kindred soul
… it would indeed be great to win by writing her in !!!! Lots of people are planning to do just that I have read it everywhere soo let the “media personalities ” (can’t really call them news people Greta being the exception ) stick that in their pipes and smoke it LOL ..
it is a question of trust who can trust someone who is such an obvious liar , and I have a “degree” but the DEGREE OF PREVARICATION comeing from OBAMA is beyond tolerance
WHY IS OBAMAS SMILE SO WIDE ??? Because he constantly talks out of both sides of his mouth !!!!!!!
LET HILLARY WIN BY WRITING HER IN !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mirri…. I don’t think there will be too much on tv on election night to be sitting home. You could go and write his name in to place your vote for him.
Proud Dem you best look at how Hillery and McCain voted on bills then how Obama voted HERE. Both Hillery and McCain are liberals who think almost the same. Obama thinks will it make people mad if I vote on this yea or nea.
People…you have to be an obama supporter to get paid from the obama campaigne..I am a Hillary supporter….Obama would never pay me!!! They are mad that I have exposed them. Obama supporters are not nice, lets face it….If they happen to be nice to you then they are a paid blogger…COMMON SENSE!!!
VoiceOfReason….What Country are You voting for anyway? Doesn’t sound like America.
To Proud Dem-The objective of the election is NOT to beat the Republicans. If that is why you are voting, then you don’t understand what the election is really for. The objective is to pick the person who will be the best President for out Country and who shares America’s values-such as love for our Country. It helps to know how many states we really have !!
Dr. Phil should have a retreat for Hillary supporters before the ‘be nice to them’ thing can work.
There’s some bitter women who’s upset at their cheating husbands and they want to cast their REVENGE vote for Hillary.
Hillary knows this and that’s why come 2010 Hillary will NOT be re-elected in the state of NY. She should start looking for her next gimmick.
If you split the party all you do is maybe cause Obama to lose, if you go republican you can defeat him in a big way and show DNC your votes do count, they count against the wise behinds.
They want unity so give them unity in a big way show them that you heard and you are united.

why wouldnt it??
Karen, your “single” vote in NY is Not going to keep Hillary out.
I was thinking about the machines and wondering if it would work to write her in, but I disagree on one point. I do not think it is like giving a vote to Obama. I actually think it will lower the Democratic vote and inflate McCain’s numbers. You know this is really something. I have always voted Democrat, but I am so against Obama due to the association he has had and his experience, that I will not vote for him because it would go against everything I believe in.
Patty, NJ…Peggy already replied and said you can type her name in with machines. I didn’t know that.
Clinton Supporters…you guys are willing to steal the nomination from a black man just to appease a white woman…because you all picked a REAL LOSER…you suck….KISS OFF and take The Clinton’s with you.
I really want them to see that we are capable of uniting our country and it’s people and we do not need the DNC to show us how or their hand picked boy.
Peggy, I dont think anyone will have much of a choice come this October when the tape of Michelle speaking at the Trinity against white people comes out. She uses the term “WHITEY” atleast four times. The people who have seen this tape says it is astonishing!!!!!
What has his race got to do with it? Have you not listened to or investigated Obama? It is what he does, says and has done and may do that is costing him this election and I hate to tell you this but some of us are black.
Be nice to Hillary supporters! How arrogant and demeaning is this man. He is sexist, racist and God only knows what he really is. With his middle eastern support we can only guess. Why isn’t he being investigated? Where is his money really coning from?
Hilliary Clinton is the real deal candidate. She is the Democratic candidate that is working for us and for this country. Who knows who Obama is working for.
Hillary should run as an Independent. The Democratic Party went against one of their own who has a proven track record and has pushed a candidate that is concerning and alarming. Hillary does not owe the DNC anything and the American people don’t either. How dare they put our children and grandchildren at risk.
Hillary if you would run as an Independent you will be surprised by all the support you would get. It would be a pleasure to see the DNC and their terrorist loving candidate to have their arrogance and shenanigans turned into bitter disappointment when you win. I would never vote for their candidate Obama and it is just too bad he doesn’t want anyone to use his middle name just like he wants us all to overlook every other wrong thing about him.
so do not use race when it comes to him winning or not. Use the issues.
he said that he could get her suppoters but she could not get his. that is why McCAIN will get my vote.i will not vote for him not even if he puts hillary on the ticket.the press and the dnc gave this election to him

__________________________________________________________________________________
Really? You do know that Bill would never have been president without the AA vote and thus Hill never would have been first lady. Further, to win PA you have to carry the large AA vote in the Philadelphia area. To win in Florida, you have to carry the AA vote. Likewise, in Ohio. I know you hate it, but it is true. I hope you guys don’t represent most Hillary supporters. Let me ask you this do you support Hillary because she is Hillary or do you support her stated policies? It seems that it must be her personality and not her policies.
and voice of reason you are not you more closely resemble the true voice of subconscious sexism , and no matter how much has been made of racism in this campaign the level of sexism is oceanic and it will take history to unravel and expose most of it it is the iceberg floating in the sea of democracy that is keeping the most qualified person out of office in our time of greatest need
Now you see people…This is a good example of what I was saying earlier……This person here is not a paid blogger…LMAO!!!!!

Obama wants to be nice to Hillary’s supporters for one reason—He wants OUR vote in Nov.!
PROUD STUPI DEM…..ITS IS FOR BOTH REASONS!!!!
it looks like senator clinton isn’t the only one with an irascible uneducated constituency, foxy news takes second place to none in winning over the fearful and the uninformed. while i can’t prove it, i think most of these comments were written by rush who may or may not be back on the drugs again
The point is he was to unify all of us, democrats and republicans so let’s unify and vote republican. The DNC thinks they can get us to vote in their people and control the US it is up to the very people they want to control to take the fangs out of their campain.
If we remove their power they will learn that we are not going to be controled and do what ever they want.
BettiH. Indianapolis, IN
I’m thinking Betti didn’t get the memo.
I get it now, this is where all of those white blue collar workers hang out. This is extactly where I expected to find you. Ignorance is bliss isn’t it. Many of you watch Fox “news” and are misinformed because Fox deliberately does not give you the whole picture. Why are they so big on Republicans at Fox? Because Republicans look out for the wealthy and big business, not the white blue collar worker.

LETS FACE IT…MOST OF YOU ARE!!! WHEN THAT TAPE OF MICHELLE COMES OUT….YOU ALL ALONG WITH THE OBAMAS WILL BE ALL ALONE!!!!
They may then allow us to choose our candidates and do their jobs.
BettiH played the race card….there those Obama supporters go again.
Since it’s Sunday I feel I have to come clean. I know that alot of you think I’m rascist but it’s not true. I love me some dark chocolate more than wonder bread. (wink wink, nod nod . . . if you know what I mean)
