To Bryan S Why I Don't Like Obama.........
[Read the article: Obama hits back at Clinton ad]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...........becasue too many of his supporters are like Bryan S. - see his comment below. They sound like nasty spoiled brats who only call others names put down those they do not agree with. They act like Simon on American Idol - oh gee, let me see what ugly putdown I can come up with now. Is this what the audacity of hope looks and sounds like? Is this what change in Washington D.C. looks and sounds like? If it is I want no part of it.
'Go harass some billygoats, troll
Hi HRCin08! Congratulations on taking 30 seconds to set up a Salon account. I see that this is your first comment. The rest of us who have been here for a while really appreciate you stopping by to spam our messageboards with propaganda for your fast-fading candidate. It really shows the Clinton campaign's commitment to grassroots organizing. I hope you'll swing back by again on Wednesday with a bunch of excuses for why your candidate failed to make up any ground against Obama the night before.

There You Go Again
[Read the article: Obama hits back at Clinton ad]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Good Lord, Roberta, if you don't like X because Y likes X and you don't like Y - you really are too stupid to vote. Stay home."
Too bad you do not have the good manners of some on this site who apologized for the insufferable bores who still write trash talk. "Stupid." ???????? OMG you sound just like Bill O'Reilly. And this is hopeful how? This is new politics how? This is uniting how? This does not divide us how? I don't expect such behavior from Slate readers. It is below you and damages your candidate. What next? Are you going too send the thought police to my house to get me?

Obama Cannot Win General
[Read the article: The Democrats' anti-momentum]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Loper2008 says that Obama has weaknesses for sure, but he is the only candidate with credibility on criticizing this war before it began.
AGAINST WAR BEFORE ELECTED TO US SENATE
It took no courage to do that since he made the remarks at the safe and ultra leftie liberal district at the U of C.
SUPPORTS THE WAR WHILE RUNNING FOR US SENATE
Boston Globe 3/8/08 “In July of 2004, the day after his speech at the Democratic convention catapulted him into the national spotlight, Barack Obama told a group of reporters in Boston that the United States had an "absolute obligation" to remain in Iraq long enough to make it a success.
"The failure of the Iraqi state would be a disaster," he said at a lunch sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, according to an audiotape of the session. "It would dishonor the 900-plus men and women who have already died. . . . It would be a betrayal of the promise that we made to the Iraqi people, and it would be hugely destabilizing from a national security perspective."
The statements are consistent with others Obama made at the time, emphasizing the need to stabilize Iraq despite his opposition to the US invasion.”
SUPPORTS THE WAR AFTER ELECTION TO US SENATE
Obama votes to fund war twice and makes no speech or remarks against war from the Senate floor. No courage there either.
AGAINST THE WAR AGAIN…………
Makes a politically expedient decision to win the Dem nomination when he decides to run for President
Yeah man so many different positions on Iraq gives Obama lots of credibility.
Loper2008 goes on to say, I cannot guarantee he would win the general but neither can HRC supporters guarantee she can win the general.
If you really believe this after Wright you do not understand the American electorate.
Rev. Wright’s views and sermons will be used in attack ads this fall. And I guarantee you they will not play well among a majority of ma and pop, red white and blue, Main Street, Joe Six pack voters in a General Election. Polls are showing they do not play well now. Weaved into a narrative with ‘lapel pins,’ ‘hand over heart,’ For the first time on my adult life I am proud of my country,’ the right wing smear machine will weave a seamless portrait that will be hammered over and over again through print, radio, TV, and the internet the right wing smear machine that will surely bring down Obama.
According to a new poll by Insider Advantage Majority Opinion Poll
First, we screened poll respondents to find those who were aware that Obama’s pastor was in the news. A startling 82% knew about Obama’s speech, and about the controversy surrounding the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Of those who knew about the controversy and the speech, we asked, “Taking all this into account, are you more or less likely to support Obama for president?”
Less likely (52%)
More likely (19%)
About the same (27%)
No opinion (2%)
