Don’t Call Me—I May Call You

Even though we love Hillary and Bill, our disdain of Mr O has nothing to do with them. We have seen the tall, charming, inexperienced male come and go over and over and over in our offices all over the country. They get the job because they are tall and charming, they come in and make a mess and leave a disaster for the rest of us to clean up. It's a turn style. He will NEVER get the over 40 female vote in large droves, because we are sooooo over it and it has nothing at all to do with Hillary.

*what?*

"dealing with the now-neutered by Sen Clinton pink-faced presidential quitters and failures."

gotta love it!

Masha:
Please explain to me how HRC, who was in the same political arena and process as Obama, was "cheated" out of the nomination. Last time I checked, Obama had more delegates then HRC and also had the popular vote despite the fuzzy math by her campaign staffers. You were insulted by the media because of her own actions. The fact this woman would say anything to get herself elected and seem more prominent (can you say "sniper fire or my daughter and 9/11??) That is what turned people off about HRC. Last, the most damaging aspect of her campaign was the fact that for some odd reason she felt she deserved to be president. She has never held public office, ever and yet she has 35 years of experience. Sure she has that experience; it???s called being a former governor and president's wife that is her experience. Get over yourselves and back the man who one fair and square. Oh by the way, I am a republican and just might vote for a democrat this time.

The problem Obama is having is that he really never won the primary. The caucuses were flooded with people who were bussed in to vote for him that should not have been. Hillary supporters were harassed and locked out of the caucuses so his "wins" at the caucuses did not actually reflect the views of the caucus states. Then, when the Rev Wright fiasco came out - he lost even more support. He should not have been chosesn as the candiddate or nominee for the party. Hillary actually won the popular vote.

Through this whole campaign I have said I will support whoever wins. But lately Obama has lost more and more of my trust and the final " lie" he told has convinced me he will say anything to get elected. I tried to look past the way he pushed race, I looked past the he said , she said stuff over nafta. I even tried not to take personally when he called most of the Dem. Political Candidates I have supported over the years racists by accusing them of making racist remarks. But surprisingly it was his lie to help Hillary raise money to offset her debt that just cost him my vote. She has raised tons of money for him and made numerous appearances for him, yet he could not even do that one thing, made no EFFORT at all. McCain has my vote whether or not the Clinton's put on show for party unity. Afterall if you listened to Obama, he accused Clinton of saying anything to get elected- well if that's the case, if Obama was truthful in that accusation, we know any support from Clintons to Obama is just as hollow and meaningless and should not sway our votes.

Obama will never win either of the Clinton's over. They'll continue to use him like they use everyone else. Obama's a whimp for giving in. Edwards can't be a part of the convention because he's unfaithful. So let's get old faithful Bill to add credibility to the function.........Give me a break...I lost all faith in the Democratic Party.

Barry. Enough is enough. You must put the Clintons in their place. They simply cannot accept that you are now the leader of the Democratic Party and are likely to remain the leader for the next thirty years. You cannot allow them to continue to challenge you. Alllow them to speak at the convention only if you can edit their speeches. Allow Bill to speak only if in the next week he explicitly vows allegiance to you. Make him read a prepared statement. It should go something like this: Hillary and I unequivocally support Senator Obama. He now embodies the hopes and aspirations of the Democratic Party. We are ready to follow on the path that he will set for us. We understand that our time has come and gone. We regret if at various points we have given the appearance of not being fully in awe of him.

Well guys, I think I've made my point on this site. It was interesting and fun to debate and argue. But after awhile it seems redundant. You find yourself repeating the same things, and you start lose self respect, going negative or just for laughs instead of really proving your point. You start to learn about society, from both sides, the republican, the democrat, the independant. You hear from smart people, and from dumb people, and from some just plain crazy or negative people, and everything in between. The reason I was interested in these comments was because I felt I brought something new to the table, and wasn't just repeating other people's comments which I've also seen. I've seen people go from honorable and clean, to sloppy and negative, like sharenews for example, he or she was one of the most clean cut arguers on the site, but now she or he has become petty and negative, calling Obama supporters name callers when he or hse calls them name callers in the same comment, or argueing as if he or she contradicted the other person, when in fact, he or she didn???t even read the whole statement in the first place. Sharenews used to separate fact and opinion, and only tell truth, but now sharenew???s fact and opinion have become one as he or she comes up with more and more fabricated lies. I used to respect sharenews in the beggining, but now I???ve lost all respect whatsoever. It was a fun ride. But now I'm starting to see my own dignity slip away, and I don't want to see myself end up so low, just as I???ve seen people like sharenews end up, just angry and frustrated becoming more negative and opinionated as time goes on, to the point where I don???t even know the message I was trying to convey in the first place. So I'm going to leave with some dignity. Maybe you'll hear from me in another four years, who knows. Just have fun commenting, try to keep it clean, and don't get too angry or frustrated, it's just not worth it. (last comment)unless I have something new to say, but besides that (last comment)

Obama supporters mischaracterized every word he said during the primaries. I like and support Obama, I just don't like the attitude of many of this supporters. I must admit, it makes reluctant to support him. He's lucky that McCain is so obviously inadequate. Still, a little respect for what President accomplished is needed. Perhaps this younger generation has been unconsciously affected by the constant negative blitz by the Republicans during his tenure. I just don't understand their lack of respect.

I don't think he does need the Clintons. I am glad that Hillary is campaigning for him because it soothes over wounds for the awful campaign she ran against him. I haven't forgiven her completely yet and I am furious with Bill and things he said during the campaign. So as far as I am concerned Bill can go fly a kite and stay home from the convention.

What he really needs is Hillary's primary supporters. It's the height of folly for people in a party not to rally round the winner of the nomination barring some ideological rift. Obama & Hillary have little difference in political philosophy. This thing has just gotten personal and it never should. I don't think he actually needs either Billary or Hillary per se. He'd have a better shot at the Presidency if both would fade away. And no matter what Hillary says her Hillraisers won't let up. They will say she is just doing the required talk for the party approval she needs to run in 2012. There is probably 20% of the Democratic vote that Obama won't get because of this Hillary vs Obama feud.

ON the other hand: I would have voted for Mrs. Clinton, but never, never will I vote for Obama. So this is one supporter of Clinton that will not get the Dem vote, no matter what the media does or says. As much as the media has pushed Obama on us, most of us are too smart to fall for all that "Obama rapture" that Newsweek and the the other media would have us believe.

Obama will never win the support of the Clintons. The Clintons will ruin him because he is weak and doesn't have the guts to stand up to them. When the Democratic National Convention is all over Hillary will be victor because Obama keep backing down and letting the Clintons have their way. Obama doesn't display the strength or experience to be a meaningfully worthy President.

I feel that it is long over due that both camps admit they need each other and move for the good of the party. Clinton ran a very good campain and so deserves recondnition for it. Clintons on ther other hand need to show their willingness to support Obama if they believe they are considering 2012. Time to get it together.

Hussein Obama is sooo like the Garth Brooks hit song......."I've Got Friends In Low Places"...........

Today, the GOP announced the addition of some new ???friends??? in a press release.

The most recent updates include Barack Obama???s associations with recently jailed Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick; Penny Pritzker, who serves as the Obama campaign???s national finance chair and played a role in subprime lending that led to the fall of Superior Bank, leaving hundreds of clients without part of their savings; and ACORN, a voter-registration organization that has been accused of or implicated in voter-fraud schemes in numerous states. ACORN has endorsed Obama and pledged to spend $35 million registering voters this fall.

BarackBook will be updated routinely between now and Election Day with additional, new Obama friends. Users can receive automated updates or invite others to view BarackBook by installing the Facebook application [at BarackBook.com].
