Still think he's bought and paid for by the GOP.

He does not know who he is, or what he wants. He does not know who America is, and what she wants. And most importantly, he does not know what she needs. In a broader sense, Obama does not know how the world works, his place in it, and how important being President of the USA is. Until he figures this out, he should not have thrown his hat in the race.

PS - I still think he's bought and paid for by the GOP and corporate America (which is let's face it, the same thing). He's followed Rove's playbook to the letter. And let's face it, his entire past consists of using government to gain personal wealth better than anyone since Bush's father, Howard Baker, and VP Cheney. Cause let's face it, in Chicago, Obama consistently sided with sleazy businessmen and corps over his constituents every last time.

I totally expect after his big loss to find out that he's got a huge amount of unexplained personal wealth. The equiv of Jefferson being found with a freezer full of cash. The same kind of self-serving, unapologetic low-life.

Michelle "Vulgar" "Proud to be American for the 1st time in her life" and Walmart

Michelle Vulgar made millions as a middle-vulgarian to Walmart through a government arranged (via her hubby) contract. the obamateur also got her a 200,000 dollar raise.

Too bad the folks in South Chicago didn't do so well. They just got their heat turned off by Resko, the Obamateur's good friend who helped the Obamateur and Mrs. Vulgar get a fancy house.

That'll do it! An Ad!

Thus far, Obama's had some trouble getting support from the Jewish community.

Imagine that. A Jew baiting weak on defense Muslim having trouble getting their support.

Obviously, the Jewish community doesn't represent a major portion of the country's population,

No kidding. I'm sure a full page ad will trick such a poorly educated constituency though.

but Jews are a solid and fairly important part of the Democratic base.

well, they were. Back before the left alienated them with all their pro-Muslim and anti-Isreal screeds.

Original article: Obama "outraged" by Wright

He doesn't expect to win, Rose.

Obama threw the guy under the bus the night before he announced he was running for President. He knew Wright was problematic from the get-go. Obama was being asked as far back as atleast December about some of Wright's sermons. He ignored it.

He doesn't expect to win and he doesn't care what happens to people when he loses, Rose. It's been obvious since at least Super Tuesday when he lost FL (elderly and hispanic) NJ (Catholic and Hispanic) ,CA (hispanic and Asian) ,NJ (hispanic and Catholic) and MASS )Catholic) AND the Southwest, (where McCain is from and will do well) that he COULD not win importantly Democratic constituencies. Ohio and Pennsylvania merely solidified it.

Any person in the Obamateur's shoes that was a REAL Democrat would have gotten out of the way and let the strong candidate take the nomination.

On the other hand, if he's a willful spoiler as I suspect greatly than he would stay in and try to divide the Democratic voters and weaken the strong candidate as long as he could.

(while of course calling for HER to drop out).

Wrong

You're just mad they aren't voting for your girl Hill.

Actually I'm mad that they're going to hand the Republicans a complete majority from the gubernational (that's governorships for the obama supporters) to the Congress AND The Presidency and 3 supreme court justices.

I like Hillary fine, but I would have been okay with ANY candidate that could have beat the GOP: so far though the only ones to do that twice since FDR has been named Clinton.

Undoubtably why Rove and the presscorp fronted Obama and have worked so hard to weaken HRC.

Whatever I would or wouldn't like aside, America ain't going to vote for a guy with no experience, who runs with near the exclusive support of super-liberals (whether he is one himself or not aside) and who also happens to have attended a black liberation church, is associated with domestic terrorists like Ayers, crooked Syrian and Iranian businessman and has a pretty non-existant record of accomplishing anything of note.

Game over.

Thursday, May 1, 2008 04:21 PM

well, top 10 or so....

there isn't enough diskspace to paint accurately what a self-entitled parasite the obamateur and his vulgar wife is.

The Obamater and his vulgar unAmerican wife, political and personal associations and unhinged supporters are truly a traveling carnival.

Thursday, May 1, 2008 04:22 PM

And the number one reason to loathe the self-entitled greedy obamateur

Cheap rent race-baiting. Ie, his entire life.

Oprah: treasonous porkchop

This is the second election that Oprah has cost the Dems.

Last time she invited George W. on her shoe and drooled all over him to prove her "fairness" and help him close the gender gap.

This time the overstuffed traitor has shoved this race-baiting empty suit down on us and an inevitable landslide loss to McCain, 3 Supreme Court justicies and a GOP retake of Congress.

Small matter to her fat butt right; she's got the money to weather it all. Screw everyone else as usual.

What do you expect from a piece of crap that opened a fancy school for poor people abroad instead of in the nation that made her a multi-millionaire.
