Let's really talk about how LOST Obama is

Obama is in a kind of never-never land, where he never has to prove up and he can keep running to the next state. He is playing a zero-sum game with our lives, and I can't understand why some of you are so blind to this unreality.

First, let's talk about hard questions, because what happened last week was eating pie with grandma. Hillary does not want to attack too hard because she does not want to anger his supporters if she gets the nomination, but McCain does not need any Democrats to win and thus will attack full force. Mr. Obama was a simpering idiot the other night and the questions were ridiculously easy, and up against hard questions from a man with nothing to lose he will look infantile and weak.

Second, the Republicans have not even begun to fight. REAL dirt has not even begun to be dug up about this man (Rezko, the Weatherman, Rev. Wright, discrepancies with his book, his excuse for Rev. Wrights's racism, where did all his money come from, etc., etc). We know about Hillary's past, and we are not worried. This man from Illinois has a problem with his past AND his present, and I am not going to bet on the fact that the worst has already been discovered.

Third, he appears to have a problem verbalizing, and as a potential candidate for the presidency of this country this is a real problem. When pressured he is weak, tension scares him, and he cannot seem to handle crowds unless they are chanting his name with love. This type of inability to remain calm, cool,and collected will be his downfall, the only question is will it just take him down, or the Democratic Party, or the USA, or the world.

@AJbuffoon

I am surprised you know about a bidet, or what it is used for but I guess you can google anything these days.

READ MY LIPS. YOUR BOY CANNOT BUY ENOUGH VOTES TO WIN. Advertising works, just talk to any advertising agency or any large corporation selling anything. Your boy advertised a lot, and a lot of easily led people drank kool aid. But not enough. He outspent her 4 to 1, and still he lost by over 10% points. He lost, she won. Deal with it.

Also, deal with this fact. She is going to keep winning, because the kool aid tastes rotten, and he can't seem to keep his cool and remember his lies to the extent that he can debate under pressure. And, if he can't handle tea and crumpets with Mrs. Clinton, he sure can't handle what the Republicans are going to throw at him.

He is going to lose, and the only question is how many are going down with the ship. It is your choice. I am going to be on ship HILLARY floating to victory.......

Yes she will, yes she did, and yes she will. And stop talking about Malcolm X and Martin Luther King in the familiar because your support of the Obama/Wright/Farrakhan would make YOU the enemy to these great men....and don't ever forget it.

We are as stupid and arrogant as the Republicans say we are....

It hit me the other day, that we--the Democratic Party--as as stupid and arrogant as the Rebublicans say we are. We respect the unrespectable, we honor the dishonorable, we cheer for the bad guy, we ignore history, we dishonor our elders, we spit on the flag. We are who they say we are, and this manchurian candidate Barack Hussein Obama is the physical manifestation of the perfect storm of our self-interested, self-hating, suicidal tendencies. He is us, and we are our own worst enemy.

Luckily, I am more of a radical progressive independent woman than simply a Democrat who ALWAYS chooses the best candidate. Normally, this is never a Republican, for many reasons. However, this year I am starting to feel embarassed for defending Democrats. This year I am starting to feel scared for believeing in Democrats. This year I am starting to know for a fact that as a woman I am just as belittled and hated by the Democrats as the Republicans. This year I am starting to realize that Dumb and Dumber is not just a movie, but the world and who rules it.

Obama is the worst candidate in the history of the world--no experience, many skeletons, racist, hangs with all the wrong types, etc., etc.--and at the moment when this country and the world most needs a decent leader this is what the Democratic party puts forward as a potential candidate. His supporters insult the backbone of this country, older people, and women, yet you scream 'isms' at those who choose to actually look beyond the spin. If Dumbism was socially incorrect, we might actually have a chance but unfortunately it is legal and seemingly popular to be dumb as dirt.

No matter what you think about Mrs. Clinton, she is the BEST candidate to win this election. OBAMA IS NOT ELECTABLE. To argue otherwise is dumb, and I will not go there. We have two choices, and I for one am not going to vote for Dumb.
