Can the fake outrage, Obama is just talking how people really talk. When Bush did something like that he was "folksy" to the right, but when Obama does it, it HAS to be an outrage.
Hillary won the popular vote. More people voted for her in both states that voted and caucused. To ignore that is folly and arrogant.
A few points here.
1: Even on the page you linked to, there is only a single situation where Hillary wins the popular vote, and that is when you count an election that even Robert Mugabe could not claim victory in with a straight face.
2: The race was for Delegates, which she lost by.
3: It is the prerogative of the candiate to pick his running mate, and Obama can choose whomever he wants.
4: We don't need you 1% of dead enders. He is going to win and win big.
5: Hillary lost. She is never going to be President. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you can begin to heal.
... they should have thought about what they were doing to this Party months ago. Obama doesn't represent me, and increasingly neither does the Democratic Party.
What did they do to the party precisely besides win?
Seriously, what did Obama do to the party besides win and win under the rules as agreed on?
Hillary is the one responsible for all of this bullshit going on now. If she had been willing to lose fairly and not CHANGE THE RULES (THAT HER PEOPLE SET UP TO SKEW THE SYSTEM ON HER BEHALF) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME, this would have been over months ago, and you would have had your time to get over it.
Now just get over it. Obama is going to win, and there is nothing you can do about it. You may as well get on board and try to help steer the ship in the right direction..
Remember, the president can nominate but the congress can block it. Given that the congress is dominated by DEMS, it is hard to imagine that they would not block it. If they can’t then they will sink even lower than their current ‘lowest approval rating’.
When has that EVER happened? When have these Dems NOT CAPITULATED to Bush, even though he has the lowest approval ratings in the last century or so?
You are talking about the weakest president EVER pushing the Dems in Congress around and getting everything he wants. Do you think that McCain will somehow have less pull than Bush does now?
Writing you off as a Republican troll now...
A man who states himself that he distanced himself from his white mother and the grandparents who raised him, to create an image he liked better, doesn't have a soul.
You must not be biracial. I can tell you as a biracial person, that it is a decision some of us have to come to in order to come to terms with our own identities. I for one had it easy because my Grandfather disowned my and my mother for the sin of my birth not being of pure white stock.
Sometimes, we HAVE to create an image of ourselves because we don't see ourselves reflected in others in a way we like. It's just how it is.
My intelligence lets me know that those who bring up reproductive rights are blowing smoke because if Roe was going to be overturned, it would have been done already. No matter what John McCain's views, that is not a big scary thing for anyone to worry about.
What? Your intelligence lets you know it would have been done if it could have been? Hey, guess what happens if we get 2 more Justices on the Supreme Court in the Image of Thomas and Alito? What does your Intelligence say happens when you have a supreme court packed with the right wing?
Clinton supporters who vote for John McCain will do so because he has a better background to be President than does Obama.
But Obama has a better background to be President than Hillary does, in that he has better judgment on Iraq, and has been in elected office for longer. What has Hillary DONE to earn your vote besides the accident of her birth and her marrage to Bill?
Nothing. Nothing at all...
