  • Madame DeFarge and Professor

    [Read the article: Hillary at twilight]

    I accept HRC faults, not saying I like them, and simply do not accept what I perceive as Obama true thuggish personality under his smiley

    face. I do Not buy into what he is selling.

    I am amazed that because the media is giving Obama, and before

    him GWBush, a free pass that the Professor supports him. For

    crying out loud, look what we wound up with in Bush!

    To each his own I guess.

    The Clinton camp denied any involvement in the Obama photo on

    Tuesday afternoon (hey, that sounds like it would make a good

    song title!)

    You can look at that photo release 2 ways

    1. The Obama camp released it to make my Hillster look

    bad (as if!) and to distract from the erroneous flyers they sent out

    over the weekend about her position on NAFTA

    2. Camp Hillary released it to make Obama look scary (?)

    which it didn't, he just looked funny. (I thought)

    P.S. You must be an early boomer----I remember Beanie

    and Cecil from the 50's. Wasn't it "Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent?"

    (Meaning no impertinence here)

    People! Henceforth, when Mme sweeps into the room and settles

    HERSELF into her most comfortable armchair, gathers her lace

    and veils around her, surveying all, WE ARE TO LISTEN.

    I know I will. And when she utters words of support for

    He, Whose Name Must Not Be Spoken------------

    We turn discreetly away. And allow Mme DeFarge to

    compose HERSELF again.

    So mote it be.

  • Obama's Campaign

    Oh yes. Obama's got great campaign. Just like GWBush had in 2000.

    Amazing how one can run a great campaign and still be a lousy

    president.

    Neither one fit for the office

    You got it wrong. Tai-chi does not use opponents energy against them.

    Ju-jitsu does that. Like what GWBush used in 2000. Obama is using his

    playbook.

    Dear One - It sounds to me that you and all the Obama supporters

    are making the argument that Obama is indeed the second coming.

    And I think that's what he believes also. Somehow, magically, if he

    is elected then all problems in the world are solved. You are all

    coming across as cult followers. AGAIN

    I don't believe any of the BS he's putting out there. That doesn't

    mean I don't care about the opinion of the rest of the world. The

    people in other countries need to deal with their own problems.

    Obama is not going to do squat for them.

    Obama has been marketed and hyped and yes, you are delusional.

    TO ALL FOREIGN OBAMA CULTISTS: Take Obama, please. YOU can

    have him. Perhaps some land can be carved out in Central Europe

    for you and he to have your own country. On every street corner

    a statue of Obama. When you wake up in the morning and before

    you go to bed at night you can watch a 2 minute "ObamaLove"

    video. Every sentence begins and ends with "Obama". Blah Blah Blah

    Just for the record: I love Hillary and I love my MAC.

    You dear sweet thing. Pretty soon there will be marketed a "ObamaCareBear"

    cuddly toy. Then you can clutch it as you fall blissfully asleep. Oh, wait a

    minute...with all due respect... your post reveals that you are ALREADY asleep.

    i disagree with your assumption that the longer people

    are exposed to Obama the better for him, working

    his charm etc.

    I don't think so. His BS is really wearing thin. How long

    can he keep hyping himself? The "Black Kennedy" thing

    didn't work. What new superlative will he come up

    with? You know, to charm the masses.

    It's becoming soooooo tedious. You can't fool ALL

    the people ALL the time.

    Mr Sugarman: Please speak for yourself. I am turning 60 in another

    month and feel as if I'm just getting started. I never want to lose

    the sense of the potentiality of life.

    Life is not linear. The idea of someone heading out to pasture once they

    reach a certain age is outdated. However, if YOU want to do that,

    it's your business. And believe me, it pains me to remember Boomers

    saying "Never trust anyone over 30" 30!

    We are all in this together regardless of our age and we all need to

    work together.

    Dear KateTex-Thank you so much for hanging in there and presenting

    your information so cogently. ( I have a habit of dashing in and blurting something out and generally being ignored)

    The Obama supporters reflect his campaign tactics: the slightest

    disagreement is met with a hammer response. Which amazes me

    actually, you'd think with his seemingly insurmountable lead they'd

    be just a tad more gracious. The best they can be is condescending.

    Again, reflecting the candidate.

    Your efforts are very much appreciated. Who knows? Maybe

    Girlfriend (HRC) can pull off a miracle. After all, you never

    know what's coming down the pike, one way or the other.

    Many Blessings to you

    I am all for Republicans and independents crossing over to vote for my

    girlfriend Hillary because they think she'd be the easier candidate to win

    against. If that gets her the nomination, then Yaaaaay! Whatever!

    As I said before, you don't know what's coming down the pike, one way

    or the other.

    Are you f'ing kidding me? First off: There is NO Clinton cult -

    The "Precious" Obama is the one with the cult and you know it.

    That won't wash in any way shape or form.

    It amazes me how nasty the ObamaCultists are, you being a a prime

    example. One would think, with the Precious One's seemingly

    insurmountable lead that you cultists would have at least a modicum of

    class, but no, the slightest disagreement about Precious and

    you guys slam back with a hammer.

    As for you having even a drop of the milk of human kindness? Never,

    ever, have I seen one iota of it from you. Always with the testosterone

    driven arrogance.

    You don't even bother with being condescending as some of your

    fellow cultist do.

    You are a direct reflection of the immaturity of the Precious Obama
