What would Obama do?
[Read the article: Did Hillary Clinton really win in Florida?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Could people stop with the pathetic moral indignation. Please, Obama is a politician. Axelrod, Obama's brain has got you all believing this is some kind of second coming of JFK. The press loving a great marketer, is playing along. Face it Obama is a great product line. Hip, cool and just that a product line. You have all transferred all your spiritual needs into him. You put into him whatever you want to see.
This is politics. Obama took with "race" advantage Hillary knew she would win in Florida.
Obama will take millions in pack money in California. Obama the agent of change had to get all the old geezer uncles to back him up, yet when Bill talks for Hillary you all scream: unfair and you twist everything he says. These same old geezers lost the elections from 2000 to now, how did they "get it" all of a sudden. Now the country is ready for a real democratic agenda and they sold it up the creek with the unity shtick.
Obama is not ready to be president. He was packaged as a life story. He has no credentials. He will be stomped, if he wins the General, then watch for a one term. You truly believe it's a whole bunch of little people giving money to Obama? Read the NY Times article about the packaging. Read Harpers about the money and influencewww.harpers.org/archive/2006/11/0081275
Read some articles and pop you political cherry. Read beyond the news cycle, go read the Sun Times articles about him. Stop falling into the spin.

Read about his relationship with Hillary.

And then for all the so called Progressives, read some articles from the left press about Obama and Wallmart. And the faux poplulism.

I don't want to hear in four years how dissolusioned you all are and how hurt. The information is out there, don't just go for the Axelrod spin.

[Read the article: Did Hillary Clinton really win in Florida?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Do you have issues with their investigative piece on Rezko. I actually have criticisms cause they did not consult affordable housing specialists who would tell them of Obama's negligence and failures. Of course in Chicago or Illinois they would not speak, they would have to go outside. In a machine town, people would be afraid of retrobution.
Frankly I am amazed at the so called new media for not searching out the truth on this issue.
Hundreds of affordable housing units lost, millions of public dollars and Obama blames the low income neighborhood and the tenants. Insane. With no blame on his contributor Rezko.
Face it, this soils his progressive credentials beyond belief.

Interesting East Coast slant
[Read the article: Obama and race in California]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Tim Russert and MSNBC were praising the brilliant Ted Kennedy endorsement for the Latino vote. Guess what white people? Latinos have their own leadership and they are not waiting for the geezer from the east coast. Gee, imagine that, real local elected officials, what happened in California the last forty years? Wake up out there. Psst, we also have a large very politically active Asian population .
By the way Ms. Walsh, wonder why no one pointed out that the Kennedy endorsement was Monday, hit all the national TV, quite a campaigning move the day before the Florida "illegal" primary. Who violated the rules?
Best idiotic blogpundit comment I read: Obama voters are well read and educated so they did not go to vote in a primary that does not count. The audacity of the elites
Question:
We are moving from identity politics to personality cult politics. When you elect a saint, idol and reincarnation of JFK, who will have the audacity to criticize these uber being? The blogopundits that made him? The MSM that fuels him? "The self proclaimed progressives"? Gee, these people are even afraid to call themselves liberal.
Wonder how that statue will come down?
Second question: why did the old establishment white men endorse Obama and almost the majority of the Black Congressional Caucus endorse Hillary? Hmmm, I am curious.

[Read the article: Enemies everywhere]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I agree and basically this is what is at stake. I do find though recently that hateful tone to be permeating in the mindset of the new Liberal. Not to bring it up to the primaries, but the Clinton hate mindset baffles me. The desire to frame Obama as a victim of the Clinton's does not make sense, I felt that there was a MSM and blogosphere effort to victimize him of stellar proportions. I think it's not limited to conservatives.
