When every single last damned black person in America of voting age raced out to register to vote for Nobama in the primaries and turned on the former President and Senator who have done more for blacks than any politician since Lincoln and LBJ, and all the rabidity and profanity they were using - not to mention Rev.Wright, Pflagler, Michelle Obama, their vulgar rappers, ad nauseum.
That they now have the nerve to sit here and bitch about non-existant white racism as an excuse for the ultimate defeat of their piss-poor unqualified half-black Messiah is just beyond the pale.
they can shove it up their collective ____ and I know near everyone agrees with me (in the REAL world).
I agree blacks wouldn't have voted for him in the numbers they did - ie 100% if he was Repug. However, once that was out of the way it was indeed their only consideration.
We all saw it too. Therefore turning around now and blaming "racist America" for Barracks problems is nauseatingly hypocritical even if it WERE the problem which it obviously isn't to any measure.
That's your problem. Outside of pushing a little paper in a Democratic majority state legistlature, he's done NOTHING. Where are the big changes he's made? where are the persons to testify to the wonders of his "community organizing"? (which actually was just an office and a nice car for himself).
So the smartest man in the world can't point to any difference he's made (and I think we all can agree he's brought nobody together
Pfft.
Somehow I'd feel better if there were some people in South Chicago, Illinois...anywhere...that were coming forth to bear witness to the works of the "smartest man in the world".
Pfft.
Where did the phrase "The Smartest Person in America" come from?
you people keep insisting he's smart. well,he WAS smart enough to prey on your insistance on being told what you wanted to hear on Iraq and to know that the mere suggestion of "racism" would through the black community into a self-destructive frenzy...
He WAS smart enough to know he couldn't win a Gen. Election. Never intended to. Intended to add to his fame/fortune by getting the PRIMARY. He was happy to use swarmy means , race-baiting, skewed lefty-left caucuses to achieve this against someone who actually COULD win and did give a damn about the country. Obama has a consistent theme of using things to make himself wealthier but not leaving anyone much else the better for it. This is merely the final act.
I'll add to the reading list the Wikipedia article on Sen. Obama that actually discusses his work as a community organizer, a State Senator and a U.S. Senator
Yes, we know he's held office. We know he's the youngest person to write an autobiography too. However outside of using each office as a rung in the ladder to the next office and million, he hasn't done much else at all. The few things in the Senate for instance he claims credit for were largely Ted Kennedy handing him these on a silver platter for his ascension to run for president. Similarly, he was handed Senate Chair seats on a silver platter he never even conducted one single meeting for.
He's done much of nothing everywhere he's been except use it to get on further. The fact that not one single person in these communities he supposedly worked will testify otherwise proves it .
Regardless it's over for you. McCain has all the GOP money in the world and the election is down to seven states of which Obama can not lose a single one. All the fundraisers and vulgarity that typifies Obama's zealots won't change that.
You're cooked as you were from the beginning. The only way the GOP could have won this yaer was to induce the leftwing Democrats to (again) put forth an entirely unelectable candidate.
Congrats you done good and you never disappoint.
WHO's THE FOOL?
You are. For insisting on shoving an empty suit on the ticket that over half the party made clear they wanted no part of -much less half the country with an electoral map skewed by far to the center or right.
It's been obvious since super Tuesday he wouldn't win a general and glaringly obvious thereforth on.
Therefore you might want to save your condescending lectures for the Nobama zealots. ;-)
Roughly 80% of the US population is urban. So according to most of you, it is safe to say that the current state of our nation and (I fear) the soon-to-be McCain-Palin administration can be blamed on the unwashed 20%.
I hope you can all comfort yourselves with the knowledge that you’re smarter than they are.
You can tell by the candidate they picked. Not only a cheap crook in an empty suit, but y'know the guy who was going to "bring America together" and started by alienating over half the party and near 100% of the independents.
Watch them now, spittle and spew their toothless garbage projecting their stupidity and racism onto everyone else. Santo is threating starting a civil war (oooooooooooooh!) and Klytus Ostrichian is moving to Canada! (as if they'd have him).
Pathetic.
it doesn't look good for Nobama and his zealots does it.
Next time when you have a candidate that is picking up Nevada, and Ohio, and Indiana and West Virginia and Florida and Michigan and all the battleground states and big electoral you might want to make sure you're brain is in gear before you decide to run against her instead of the Republican.
'Course I don't expect there will be another case like that now that you've proven you're so extreme that even the VP of 2000 thinks the Republican choice is better than yours and you're a bunch of wackos foisting an empty-suit smalltime Chicago crook on your ticket against the will of over half the party...
So have fun whining and gnashing your teeth for another 8 years.
