Don’t Call Me—I May Call You

I find it curious that Fineman was falling all over Obama throughout the primaries, constantly reminding us that Obama doesn't need the Clintons, and now admits he does. Some in the MSM have done a tremendous disservice by bashing Hillary all through the primaries, and now that she has lost, they finally are scrutinizing Obama

If I was Hillary Clinton I would not want my name on a loosing ballot with Obama. The DNC should realize the mistake they made before the election and nominate Hillary at the convention! Hillary Clinton could win the election , Obama can't!!

When I was a kid growing up, I played sports... I won some, I lost some. But what my parents were proudest of was my sportsmanship. I never liked to lose, but always congratulated the person who bested me. It's sad that Bill Clinton's parents weren't able to teach him the same. D.

bill's not mad about name-calling. bill's mad about losing control over the party. hillary's (and everyone else's) bundlers don't "love the democratic party." they love the power that comes from buying influence. from winners. politics is not a hobby for these people. it's their reason for living. barack and bill are battling for supremacy over the party. IF barack wins without bill, it's bye-bye bill and hillary and chelsea forever. and they know it. IF he loses, he loses everything.

I am surprised by this election process. Sen. Obama and his supporters are touting a new way of politics in Washington that would erase the old divisiveness. However, when it comes to the Clinton's his supporters have nothing but terrible things to say about them. If that is the way that they and he treat people who have fought for civil rights and equality all of their lives one can only imagine how they will treat people who have disagreed with them and haven't championed their causes. Clinton blurted out the other day that he is not a racist. The reason why is that the talking heads have made it clear that they believe that if you support someone other than Obama (and you are a democrat) then the only reason can be that you are a racist. Obama is not even willing to do the things that will heal his own party. It is a far stretch to believe he can do anything to bring people around that honestly disagree with him if he is elected. I don't care what the Clintons do I have had it with the democrats and will become an independent and I don't give a damn what anyone thinks about my reasons.

TOPIC: Russia and Georgia situation going on now. . . and how it relates to McCains stance on Russia

While Obama is body surfing and golfing in Hawaii, the press is all a-buzz about McCain and the foresight he has had given the hard line he has drawn with Russia in the past, which he stated in his foreign policy speech back in March '08. Read on. . . .

John McCain 'Prescient' On Russia And Putin

It is particularly a moment where John McCain can claim to have been prescient. -- The Washington Posts David Broder

The Washington Posts David Broder: It is particularly A Moment Where John McCain Can Claim To Have Been Prescient. NBC's DAVID GREGORY: David Broder, is this a 3 a.m. moment for foreign policy for these candidates?

WASHINGTON POST's DAVID BRODER: It is and it is particularly a moment where John McCain can claim to have been prescient. Because in his basic foreign policy speech two months ago and in an interview that I did with him last week, he draws a very sharp line when it comes to Russia. He says these people are being aggressive and imperialist. There is no confusion, in his mind, about the character of the Putin-Medvedev government and he is prepared, I think, to make the case that this is a demonstration of exactly what he has been arguing for. (NBC's "Meet The Press," 8/10/08)

The Politicos Jonathan Martin: John McCain 'Appears To Have Been Ahead Of The Curve In His Assessment That Moscow Was The Bad Actor Here.' When violence broke out in the Caucasus Friday morning, John McCain quickly issued a statement that was far more strident toward the Russians than that of President Bush, Barack Obama and much of the West. But, as Russian warplanes pounded Georgian targets far beyond South Ossetia this weekend, Bush, Obama and others have moved closer to McCains initial position. It has been a rough few weeks for McCain on the foreign policy front, paging Dr. Maliki, but he appears to have been ahead of the curve in his assessment that Moscow was the bad actor here.

The most visible scar on Obama's skin is his long-term association with Wright and other radical groups. If Bill Clinton could dissolve this scar with his famous tongue muscle, it would show geniune support. Barack should benefit from Bill's tongue even when Bill urinates down Barack's leg at the same time.

I feel as if I may have made a grave error in judgement when in the early going of the campaign, I supported and voted for Mr. Obama..............It is apparent, now, that it is almost too late, but Senator Clinton is the more viable, electable, down to earth person to run this country. PLEASE someone correct the mistake that I did with my vote in the primary and let's see what we can do at the convention.....PLEASE!!!!

He doesn't need the Clintons, he has Newsweek. He has this nominaction because the press (specifically MSNBC and Newsweek) coronated him right after Iowa. Each day it becomes more apparent how unprepared and unseasoned this man is; all Newsweek is concerned about is educating the voting public on how he found his faith & that he is not a Muslim. Who cares. Educate me on how he is qualified for the job he is seeking. His resume lacks substance.

Don't you think the definition of a losing candidate might be one that makes half the people in his own party think that maybe the other party's candidate is not so bad after all?

Those that are still democrats even get separate nights on which to tune into this head-on collison of ego and irresponsibility.



Not to mention causes millions of people like me to decide after a lifetime that it turned out we really are no longer Democrats, after all.

We will go to our graves re-defining ourselves as independents.



The Democratic Party meanwhile has redefined its own self as the Party of Presumption with a Pop-star for a nominee. And a party machine presuming that we would all fall in line.

Then there are the Obamabots presuming that if they alternately bully and genuflect enough that will make us see their reason.

And then there is the core presumption- that on Day One when so many of us vigorously objected to having some unknown with no experience and no tangible track record --we were derided and demeaned as unreasonable. Right up until today.



You may be having a convention. But what use is having a party if half of us don't feel the need to be there?

There was that presumption that for some reason Americans would all put party before patriotism and be loyal Democrats. God knows why.

When was the last time Democrats were loyal to us?



On the GOP end, they've found out that they can put up even a taxidermied , doddering old symbol of the status quo and still win this one.



No one seems to have let the Democratic Selection Committee in on the idea that in a general election, it's the majority that gets the winner, and what they have insisted on foisting on us --- an egotistical hologram iconic of partisanship and entitlement is no different than the been there done that past eight years.



All Barack Obama is doing is, unfortunately, making John McCain look way more plausible. It's come to that.

We need some actual candidates . Not some real travesties.

I'm writing in Hillary Clinton. It's folly to squander a vote on two such bad ideas.

Mr Fineman,mark this day and this time.Barack will loose the general election.The Democrats and you,the MSM have made a wrong choice out of hatred to Hillary Clinton.I am a black man who will not be accused of racism when I will vote for John Mc Cain.
PS:I voted for Al Gore and John Kery.

Obama is too arrogant to admit he needs anyone. Five tiers of photos of himself in his office says it all.

Sen. Obama sometimes comes across as having more bravado than self confidence. If he were truly ready for the job, he would be doing the one thing the Clintons can never resist: He would call them to service. He could have two formidable talents at the service of his administration. She would still be the best possible VP and he as the international charitable arm. That would take an enormous burden off the President and allow him to concentrate on the multiple problems of the nation, but Obama has to be secure enough to hold his position in space while making the best use of the "Team of Rivals"

Mr Howard Fineman:

You are cordially invited to our blog: Citizens Against ProObama Media Bias. You will find plenty of Newsweek's finest featured. We are transferring over files from our other blog, so if you don't see your name at first...please be patient. Also, the posts may not necessarily be in chronological order.

Please know that we are quite fond of your words, as they provide textbook examples to future journalists on how to avoid the pratfalls of bias and loss of journalistic integrity. The evidence itself will speak to how propaganda has influenced the most important and historic presidential election in modern history.

Feel free to invite the rest of your colleagues--I will try to do so individually, but there are so, so, so many that we haven't had the chance yet to branch out to cover the propaganda blogs.

We look forward to hearing from you because we don't in any way misquote or misinterpret your words. Feel free to comment. We promote equal opportunity and free speech so you will be allowed to post a rebuttal or whatever you wish.

We are simple citizens. Our blog is not associated with any political party, candidate or organization. No one is benefiting financially. We were--and continue to be--appalled at the level pro-Obama media bias, so we began compiling video and print evidence of it. That is why it is taking so long to transfer over to the new site.

Hoping to see you soon!
Mattie for Citizens Against Pro-Obama Media Bias

http://citizensagainstproobamamediabias.blogspot.com/

ps: We urge anyone at all who has proof or has an example of MSM bias that needs fact-checking to post it. We will investigate it for you or maybe someone has already and can post their evidence. We have run across so many people that have proof that we were urged to set up a public square. Be patient. It may take a couple of days to get the new blog switched over and organized. We are not exactly blog-savvy, so if someone knows how to transfer posts in chronological order, or according to topics (sexism, racism, Obama's own lies), or individual media (Newsweek, MSNBC, CNN), or *journalists* (Alter, Olbermann, Matthews...) or any other anything, your help will be greatly appreciated. Also, we are looking for folks who know how to splice video clips together. And we haven't had the time (there are examples everywhere) to get to blog evidence (Kos, Huffington, Slate...) so please post away.
In the meantime, post here or on the Editor's page.

Pro-Obama media bias exists. No doubt about it. Come and be heard -- once and for all.

They need, all four of them, to just suck it up and do what???s good for the Country:

Hillary as Veep, Bill to the UN or World Bank, and Michelle as a gracious First Lady.

Get over it, people. Our children???s future -- the world???s children???s future --- hangs by a thread, and Hillary's the only one acting like an adult.

Obama will lose if he doesn't put her on the ticket. She???s got more gravitas --- and way more votes -- than any other possible VP candidate.
