Original article: Obama: "I am outraged"

Oops! Obama lied again!

"I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can disown my white grandmother"

- Barry Obama

Barack Obama and his supporters

BO and his supporters don't want voters in Florida and Michigan to participate in the Democratic party nomination process.

They lie and say the rules prohibit voting or seating delegates but they don't.

They lie and say the rules mean a pledged delegate lead (won by discriminatory caucuses) determines the winner of the nomination.

The Obama campaign is kept afloat by LIES.

Did BO's children ever see Wright preach like this?

Disturbing

The Experts

Heaven knows Walsh doesn't respect her own readers. Do you respect the experts, Salon staff?

In this case the experts are the voters, and the experts just told Barack Obama in Pennsylvania exactly what they thought of Barack and his spiritual advisor, Wright.

It's unanimous

It's unanimous. Barack Obama's fan club thinks BO should lay on his back, cry, and kick his feet while blaming Salon.com for the ill fortune of being exposed for what he is (a con and a marketing project).

Correction: BO gave Wright $26,000 last year

Correction.

Monday, April 28, 2008 06:50 PM

What should BO do?

What should Barack Obama do about the man to whom he gave $12,000 last year?

The man who married him, baptized his children, and has been his spiritual mentor for 20 years?

Well there's not much he can do now without insulting our intelligence, is there?

Original article: Quote of the day

Kristol did a 180. Was lavishing praise on Barry Obama months ago

Today Jerry "God Damn America" Wright told the National Press Club Louis Farrakhan is one of the most important figures of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Comments like that have turned off more than a few of Obama's early admirers like Kristol. Now they see Barry for who he is. A typical politician who isn't running a political campaign a dishonest and deceitful marketing campaign.

Original article: What Pennsylvania tells us

The rules dictate a Clinton nomination.

The rules are there for candidates to follow, not rewrite in the 11th inning. If she was ahead and could run a clean campaign and win, I would support her even though I do not think she is a good candidate.

The rules say the superdelegates can decide the nomination in favor of the candidate who has a better chance in the GE regardless of a slight pledged delegate lead by her opponent.

CNN.com reports 45% of PA Clinton voters said they would vote for McCain or stay home if Obama wins the nomination (26-19% respectively). Astounding.

You must be joking. Like her or not, you can't possibly compare a NY Times columnist with a glorified blogger.

Why not?

Original article: What Pennsylvania tells us

There's no time to deal with it. It's getting worse.

Barry Obama lost working class voters BIG. Bigger than expected. Bigger than a margin that would allow any thinking person to believe he still stands a chance against McCain.

Barry lost every big battleground state.

Barry has already cast himself as the elitist, out of touch ultraliberal wimp. Worse, he did it to himself without the GOP's help.

The Democrats now have two choices: award the nomination to a certain general election loser or award it to a likely general election winner.

Obama and Thinking

The fight hasn't even begun, and he is bleeding heavily. And while I may lose no sleep over his demise, I do not want him to take us all down with him. PLEASE think about some of this, google, read, and actually think about how this man got to where he is right now. The power is ours to give away, please don't waste it.

Nice post, Proud Texas. Unfortunately, Obama followers don't know how to think. If you've seen the interviews with the women from the recently raided LDS polygamist compound, the similarity of mindset and behavior is striking.

Just look how many Obama fans declare that they "used to love" the Clintons but are now disgusted by them. The Clintons are the same as they ever were, for better or worse. The difference is that The Clintons are now opposing The Messiah.

The self-image of every Obama follower is wrapped up in being an Obama follower. Don't ask for a reason for the devotion or the rejection of previous political figures they admire because Obama support is a psychological phenomenon, not a rational or even political one. It has nothing to do with party, or with liberal issues, policy, or ideology.

It's about how supporting him makes them feel about themselves. People from certain walks of life, with certain psychological deficits or needs, tend to cling to celebrities like Barack Obama, and assign them all sorts of attributes and qualities that don't really exist.

Sure some people think this way

But no one who should be having any kids. You're way too neurotic. No offense.

Perfect analysis, ShawnWM

Considering we lost Iowa and almost Minnesota and Wisconsin with an experienced statesmen, decorated war hero and comparative centrist of John Kerry, I'm guessing that an inexperienced black liberal with a LOT of social baggage ain't gonna win them over there.

They want to close their eyes and "hope" this fact out of existence.

That's the kind of hope Barry Bamboozler peddles. Astounding anyone buys it.

Original article: The rubes and the elites

Presidential

If you didn't already know from a long list of verbal gaffes that Obama is completely tone deaf and clumsy outside of delivering pre-written speeches and lines, this is just plain freaky

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/10/obama-tells-woman-i-dont_n_96093.html

Barack Obama appeared to have a bit of an awkward moment when his pants started vibrating during a campaign stop. The Senator was quick to point out he wasn't being "fresh."

Last week the pool report picked up on Obama acting "very flirtatious" on the trail.

CNN has part of the pool report:

"[Obama] posed for report pictures with the staff when he apparently felt his phone start to vibrate in his pocket on his right thigh - against which one woman was closely pressed.

"Now that's my phone buzzing there," he said, drawing a laugh. "I don't want you to think I'm getting fresh or anything."
