Bill Clinton?

It's funny how Salon puts only Bill Clinton in the title, as if it's him putting on ALL the pressure and then in the article mentions it's also Obama. Little biased there, huh?

Sorry, all the superdelgates are scared shitless not of Bill but of the Obamaborg who will stop at nothing, including intimidation and threats, to forceably place Obama in the nomination if he isn't voted in.

I'll absolutely bet every one of them has been threatened with their careers, bodily harm, if not their very lives if they don't fall in line and assimilate and endorse the regime of blessed one. How dare they not! You can damn well bet those that have endorsed Clinton so far have been called racist and every other name in the book. You can damn well bet they have been threatened and harassed in no uncertain terms.

Obamaborg go on about Clinton stealing the vote and being divisive, when right now, in the face of Obama losing in Indiana and possibly North Carolina, you can damn well bet they're strong-arming the superdelegates' to prematurely decide it for Obama. Talk about stealing the vote from the people.

Either way, there will be hell to pay.

@Bob In Pacifica

Then why is it, Bob, that you need to keep repeating yourself about how Obama has already won over and over again?

It makes me wonder that you need to keep hearing yourself saying it in order to really believe it yourself.

Right, anyone who doesn't praise and sing to Obama, anyone who is a Clinton supporter is a Limbaugh troll.

That's bullshit.

@Renegade Iconoclast

And your logic is: money buys everything? Funny how all that money didn't do squat for Obama in Pennsylvania. I actually think people there were offended that they could be bought off with the sheer 24/7 ad campaign onslaught.

Sorry, it's not over. The people in the remaining states have a right to be heard. And the rest of the Democrats in America have the right not to be intimidated and not to have Obama merely stuffed down their throats for the sake of saving the democratic party or for the pretense of racial harmony expediency.

He's a politician no more or less than Clinton. Not the second coming.

Let's add some other salient points of that poll:

"Wright held a mini-media tour last weekend capped by a press conference at the National Press Club on Monday. Only 33% of voters believe that Obama was surprised by the views Wright expressed at Monday’s press conference. Fifty-two percent (52%) say he was not surprised.

Fifty-six percent (56%) say it’s at least somewhat likely that Obama “shares some of Pastor Wright’s controversial views about the United States.” That figure includes 26% who say it’s Very Likely Obama holds such views. At the other end of the spectrum 24% say it’s Not Very Likely that Obama shares such views. Just 11% say it’s Not at All Likely.

Just 7% of the nation’s voters agree with Wright’s views of the United States. African-American voters, by a 64% to 12% margin, disagree with Wright. Eighty-one percent (81%) of all voters are following the story somewhat or very closely.

Nine percent (9%) of voters have a favorable opinion of Wright. Eight-one percent (81%) have an unfavorable view. That includes 62% with a Very Unfavorable opinion."

So much for the "Americans are bored with the Wright story" meme that Obama and his supporters would have everyone believe. I think the figures speak for themselves.

@pantanal

And what about the Obama trolls? The ones that call Clinton supporters insulting rude names and insist that Clinton supporters ARE ALL racist?

Or are you conveniently blind to that?

Nice try. The clip's been doctored according to Politico and Drudgereport. It's actually from the 1992 Bill Clinton campaign movie by D.A. Pennebaker.

Yeah, just keep trying with any ole bullshit you all can makeup or doctor to fit some of nonsense put out there about the Clintons. But it all ends up a stinking pile of shit coming back to haunt you.

@ob2068

Ya might want to recheck your link. That video is doctored according to Politico & drudgereport and now msnbc.

Ah, yes, real stuff there. Since merely saying that Clinton sucks doesn't seem to be working, let's make stuff up.

Another Negative Ad from Senator Obama, But What Obama's NOT Saying is...

Obama Voted for A Gas Tax Three Times in Illinois. He certainly didn't mind "political pandering" and "gimmickry" then. He actually joked that he wanted bumper stickers reminding people that he did this.

Does he say this in his video? NO. Of course not.

Furthermore, no one bothers to mention that just about everything Obama says he's going to do, Clinton has said she would do... before he ever said it.

Yeah, he's so much above it all. Right.

@ob2068

Ah, the red herring sophist ploy from the Obama tactic playbook for attacking Clinton supporters. When you can't really negate what they say, divert and sidetrack to another issue.

I suppose you're also going to insist that I'm racist.

And personally, I've seen more lying crap from Obama supporters that makes whatever Blumenthal received, sent out, whatever, seem like child's play.

Get over it. I won't play your bait game. You're just pissed that I called you on that video tape that was doctored.

@BryanS

Ah yes, next Obama supporter playbook tactic, twist reference as to mean something else.

I said "Obama supporters". Reference prior email about doctored video. Crap. Pure crap. That's so funny. You stand in the middle of the shit and ask for evidence of it.

But, you're joking, right? Go back and look up and the memo that was sent by Obama staff that listed ways on how to race bait Clinton. I simply cannot imagine that's the "only one". Yeah, sure.

And Blumenthal. So fucking what.
