A case study in butthurt.

the person who won the popular vote out shined the person who bought more delegates/superdelegates.

Nothing would delight the Republicans more than having the party divided leaving the convention after Obama grandstands and continues to alienate the people who didn't support him during the primary. The only thing that matters about this convention is how many people support Obama after it's over compared to how many supported him before. If the Clintons are prominent advocates for Obama, then it's good for him. Stop encouraging people to blame every bad thing on the Clinton's. Even the left seems to have decided that they are all-powerful and all-controlling, in spite of the vast amount of evidence to the contrary.

CHICAGO (AFP) - Barack Obama is delving into the Clinton playbook to hammer his White House rival John McCain on the economy, turning for inspiration to the couple he dethroned to become the Democratic Party's new champion.

On a pre-convention campaign swing through southern states this week, the Illinois senator has been invoking the populist rhetoric that propelled Bill Clinton to the presidency in 1992 and fired up Hillary Clinton's own shot at the Democratic nomination this year.

To those of you who think Hillary wants to upstage Obama: She is true to her party and is going along with their wishes. But the truth is that she cannot help but upstage Obama without trying. He is nothing and she stands head and shoulders above him with her knowledge, confidence, and intelligence.

To those who think the PUMAs and others are not real democrats: Learn what democrats are really supposed to be instead declaring yourselves as such and following the leaders who are trying to turn the party into something else. We are trying to keep this party clean and let them know that this is a party of the people not a handful of selfserving leaders who have their own agenda. Dean, Pelosi, Reid, and Brazile must go.

And to the idiot who thinks a little old lady is afraid of

Bill Clinton in the White House: How childish and absurd can you get? You should be able to make a better case for yourselves for trying to put your White House in the hands of an incompetent, arrogant Obama.

As far as the Republicans wanting Hillary to overturn the supers and put forth Hillary as the nominee that is not their dream because they would lose in a landslide. McCain will only win with the support of former Hillary supporters since they know that Obama will be a disaster.

Hillary is doing all she can to see that Obama is elected but she will be blamed for his failings no matter how much support she gives. He is not electible and the democrats need to wake up to that fact.

"Nothing would delight SALON more than for the Clintons to upstage Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention."

This is the only hope for the democrats because.

I]t seems that Barack Obama is not qualified to be president after all

for the following reason:

Barack Obama is not legally a U.S. natural-born citizen according to

the law on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between

'December 24, 1952 to November 13, 1986? Presidential office requires a

natural-born citizen if the child was not born to two U.S. citizen

parents, which of course is what exempts John McCain though he was born

in the Panama Canal . US Law very clearly stipulates: '.If only one

parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must

have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five

of which had to be after the age of 16.' Barack Obama's father was not

a U.S. citizen and Obama's mother was only 18 when Obama was born,

which means though she had been a U.S. citizen for 10 years, (or

citizen perhaps because of Hawaii being a territory) the mother fails

the test for being so for at least 5 years **prior to** Barack Obama's

birth, but *after* age 16. It doesn't matter *after*. In essence, she

was not old enough to qualify her son for automatic U.S. citizenship.

At most, there were only 2 years elapsed since his mother turned 16 at

the time of Barack Obama's birth when she was 18 in Hawaii. His mother

would have needed to have been 16+5= 21 years old, at the time of

Barack Obama's birth for him to have been a natural-born citizen. As

aforementioned, she was a young college student at the time and was

not. Barack Obama was already 3 years old at that time his mother would

have needed to have waited to have him as the only U.S. Citizen parent.

Obama instead should have been naturalized, but even then, that would

still disqualify him from holding the office.

*** Naturalized citizens are ineligible to hold the office of Pre

sident. *** Though Barack Obama was sent back to Hawaii at age 10, all

the other info does not matter because his mother is the one who needed

to have been a U.S. citizen for 10 years prior to his birth on August

4, 1961, with 5 of those years being after age 16. Further, Obama may

have had to have remained in the country for some time to protect any

citizenship he would have had, rather than living in Indonesia. Now you

can see why Obama's aides stopped his speech about how we technically

have more than 50 states, because it would have led to this discovery.

This is very clear cut and a blaring violation of U.S. election law. I

think the Gov. of California would be very interested in knowing this

if Obama were elected President without being a natural-born U.S.

citizen, and it would set precedence. Stay tuned to your TV sets

because I suspect some of this information will be leaking through over

the next several days. Presidentcy
