Clinton Campaign: Obama “Can’t Win a General Election”

Ya. He won’t be able to with PA AFTER you and other Clinton surrogates get done tearing him down……

Yeah, I don’t even know what the other 51 states bother to vote. Just ask PA who should be President.
I just love their backwards way of thinking. Hillary can’t win more states… she can’t win more delegates… she can’t win the popular vote… and she fairs worse against McCain than Obama does in just about every poll in the last month. But she’s gonna win PA, so she should be our next president! Bass Ackwards.

Karen, get over it. It a free country. I can say exactly what I want. He might have sold out in Indiana, but he was a bust in PA.

It’s TRUE! Obama cannot win the GE. PA. is just one reason. The other reason is the GOP will chew him up and spit him out. If he thinks Geraldine was mean to him, he has a rude awakening when the GOP gets a chance at him. They have perfected “dirty politics.” It’s the same party that took down a war hero who lost an arm and both legs in Vietnam…Max Cleland and don’t forget the Swiftboating of John Kerry in 2004. If they could do that, they won’t blink an eye at DESTROYING a nobody like Mr. Hope.

Jay,
Obama cancelled PA event because he is in Washington to vote on earmarks.

Obama CAN and WILL win the general election.

Obama cannot win the General election period! He can only win states that McCain will win in the fall. That is a fact.
I find it despicable that Obama continues to unite his heart and soul to a church whose pastor is filled with filth and the most racial sinful hatred vile deplorable ideologies I have ever heard. For him to say “God damn America” and for him to say to the families whose loved one died on 9/11 because they deserved it is inhuman and heartless. Obama has yet to denounce his pastor and renounce his membership from that church. The fact he hasn’t done so, tells the American people that he is accepting of this kind of belief. Obama shows that he has the same demeaning views of Americans when he does not put his hand on his heart during the national anthem, when he plans to support Africa more than the United Sates, when he schemes to divide blacks and whites, when he continues to support and attend a church that is dripping with hate and black supremacy.
Let this be a warning to us that Obama cannot and will never devote his life for America. 20 yrs attending a church where he has given his alms, his life, his spiritual devotion, his soul to all the vile beliefs that this cult perpetuates. It is deplorable!!
Obama is a shame to the American people. And yet there are still ignorant people who will think it’s nothing it’s just his pastor who thinks this way…. If they know anything about a church where you go to worship and be blessed — this fills your heart and soul and drives the way you think and view the world. If this is what Obama is feeding on and allowing his children to feed on all they will know and react to is the hatred and vile and disgrace and dehumanizing ideologies that will translate into Obama’s policies and laws if he becomes president.
No wonder Michelle says she is only now proud of America – it was in her heart so it came out it slipped but we know the truth – she doesn’t have to explain herself why he hates America so much! She is Jezebel in disguise.

Every state Clinton like is always a test case.
Those she lost are just no good votes. She might be angling for a republican VP spot indeed.
This is the other ingredient in the kitchen sink and pots and spoons and you know what being thrown out there.
but when the husband got those same votes…he was great.
Monica Lewinsky will soon join this after they run out of things to throw at that young man.
AMERICA IS A LAND OF OPPORTUNITY only for her views.
Watch for Gareldine Farrero to point those fingers at them.

To stress holbein’s point, just look at these numbers:
Superdelegates February 10th: Clinton 224 Obama 127
Superdelegates March 12th: Clinton 237 Obama 207
They tell a LOT, if they don’t tell it ALL.

As soon as Hillary can finally win a state again, it is THE CRUCIAL STATE.
Hahaha.
How dumb does this campaign think Americans are? They are insulting the millions of voters in this country.
Penn, your candidate is toast. Over and out.

Here’s a passage from the story in the Chicago Tribune about Obama.
Obama knows his way around a ballot Some say his ability to play political hardball goes back to his first campaign
By David Jackson and Ray Long | Tribune staff reporters
April 3, 2007
A close examination of Obama’s first campaign clouds the image he has cultivated throughout his political career: The man now running for president on a message of giving a voice to the voiceless first entered public office not by leveling the playing field, but by clearing it.
“Why say you’re for a new tomorrow, then do old-style Chicago politics to remove legitimate candidates?” Askia said. “He talks about honor and democracy, but what honor is there in getting rid of every other candidate so you can run scot-free? Why not let the people decide?”
In a recent interview, Obama granted that “there’s a legitimate argument to be made that you shouldn’t create barriers to people getting on the ballot.”
But the unsparing legal tactics were justified, he said, by obvious flaws in his opponents’ signature sheets. “To my mind, we were just abiding by the rules that had been set up,” Obama recalled. (Whatever it takes, right Obama? No wonder you and your supporters say it so much. Too much protest is always suspicious…..)

After Clinton wins PA, and FL & MI votes are included…and they WILL be…Obama is finished.

How does the fact that Hillary has won traditionally democratic states equate to Obama losing a general election? So because she wins in PA that means that Obama would lose it? Obama probably would have won Texas had it not been for Limbaugh republicans sabotaging the election. Hillary’s staff and the people that buy this bs are simply irrational. I’m still waiting to see exactly what Hillary’s “experience” entails given the fact that she has hijacked her husband’s as her own and has less legislative experience than Obama. At 3 am I would rather have someone answering the phone that has a consistent collective coolness about them than a new personality on a daily basis.
And the gop chewing up Obama and spitting him out? Give me a break. The guy’s already essentially been called a terrorist and he’s winning the primary against a far more formidable candidate than John McCain. That’s got to account for something in the post-911 era.

HILLARY CLINTON is spot on. I’m more convinced that a combined ticket of CLINTON/OBAMA is required, but I’d really like to see Obama show a more realistic understanding of our future. His weaknesses are so great it would imperil our nation to put this novice in charge. It reminds me of the young guy that the company let run the project because he knew how to say project, he knew how to cut corners, and it cost $20K for the company to clean up his mess. What price a nation?

Why didn’t we just save all of this time and expense then and just have Pennsylvania determine the nominee in the first place? This is just more political nonsense. Every poll shows that Obama outperforms Hillary in a national election scenario.

To be fair, Obama is having trouble holding on to the caucus delegates he has in further stages. The problem with caucuses everyone is ignoring is all these delegates are still up for grabs as they go through a four stage process up untiol the summer.
If Clinton takes more delegates than him this Sunday, people may want to seriously consider that question, as Obama’s whole campaign was based on winning red states.

I guess you don’t have to win states like Mississippi, Vermont, Maryland, Illinois, Georgia, Alabama, Wisconsin, DC, Virginia, Louisiana, Utah, Missouri, Connecticut, Delaware, South Carolina, Hawaii, Washington, Nebraska, Minnesota, Alaska, Idaho, North Dakota, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas and Maine to win the General Election. Enough said.
Obama ’08

Barack is fully qualified to be our President. He is a natural leader. Hillary, again, is old school politics…
Reagan/Bush, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton… what is wrong with this picture.
Germany and Europe, among all U.S. allies respect and favor Barack. What more do you want in order to build wounded relationships with U.S. allies.
Remember Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Whitewater, and many other Clinton scandals?
Let’s move in a better direction. Barack Obama has more intelligence, leadership, and heart. I want to believe in the U.S. government and I believe we owe it to ourselves and our allies to prove we are real democracy.

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, a Clinton supporter, on Mark Penn’s statement:
“If someone on my staff wrote that I’d fire them.”
As reported on msnbc’s FIRSTREAD.

Barack is fully qualified to be our President. He is a natural leader. Hillary, again, is old school politics…

Yet another example of the Clinton campaigns committment to geting McCain elected. Penn is a disgrace.

I’m going to go ahead and rephrase Penn’s statement:
“I think if you can’t win Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Texas, Ohio, California, Massachusetts, New Hampshire…. it raises serious questions about whether he can win a general election.”
I have been saying this for months.

So here’s the media swallowing the spin by the Clinton machine without checking the facts. This would be the same media that tagged along with George Bush in 2002 without checking the facts and look where we are now in IRAQ and Afghanistan! And they want to call themselves reporters, anchors and commentators! What a joke!

Penn is from the “if I say it, it must be true’ school of Politics. Bush is from that school too.

Linda–
Your hate-mongering choice of a candidate really packs the house herself…she had about 300 people show up to her engagement in Washington State. Meanwhile, I was one of the 30,000 or so in the crowd who saw Obama speak at Key Arena (which filled to capacity within anbout 30 minutes of the doors opening).
But what does popularity matter in a general election battle ground state? According to Clinton, everything. And of course, Obama STOMPED Clinton here…and in Iowa…and the list goes on and on. Clinton’s entire electibility argument is just the latest exercise in false logic utilized in her campaign of contradictions.

Hillary will lose in a General Election because she insists on doing the same old thing and expecting different results running the failed “15 state strategy”
Smart Democrats in 2008 are figuring out with Senator Obama campaign’s “50 State Strategy” is the strategy which will win against Senator John Mc Cain in NOV .
Under this model you could take away Fl, PA, and OH from Senator Obama’s category and he still beats Senator Clinton with “all 50 States” in play
So tell me how you “have” to take PA to win ?
Bob

How come there are only big states in this country,guess our little ones don’t count anymore last I knew we were all one nation>>>>>>

Hey V Racer
I bet McCain would be really proud of your posting.
: )

Regardless of the situation, Obama is able to keep a cool head and obviously think and respond clearly. He doesn’t cry or scream at reporters like Clinton and McCain. He’s the one I want answering that emergency call, not one’s who think they have all of the answers. A solid decision making style is more important than all of the experience in the world.

I just want to thank the media for giving someone like Sen. McCain a better chance of winning the White House. Everyone knows we need a Democrat to clean up after Bush, but instead of discussing issues that affect the ordinary American, all we talk about is religion, race, gender and call people names. The media has messed up our party and no one can see what’s happening until McCain wins in November. I’m in tears because we’ve suffered enough. Let’s nominate a Democrat and fix our country, please.

Oh, so I guess now the argument is well we’ve attacked him so much that he can’t win a general election but ‘you know’ we’re happy to fill in for him..
NUTZO Craziness….
Senator Obama is a brillian man and IF WE ARE LUCKY he WILL become the leader of our country and I am willing to take action to help make that possible.
OBAMA/EDWARDS ’08

The spin, the whole spin, and nothing but the spin.

No matter how smart and charismatic BHO is, if I can’t trust him, I won’t vote for him. He has shown no good judgment for me to risk my family’s future to him. I used to think that he ran too soon, but lately I think that he will never qualify from a trust standpoint. His campaign used to claim that the more people knew about him, the more they liked him, but I think we’ve past that point, and now the more people know about him, the more they distrust him.

this is helpful…Once again I am glad this election is about the Democratic Party and not Hillary.

The portrayal by the Clinton campaign is accurate.
Even with the obvious bias and prejudice evident in the caucus system, Obama cannot produce enough electoral votes to take the White House in November.
Democrats only hope is that the superdelegates will opt for an experienced and electorally superior candidate instead of an unprecedented and historic presentation of a interloping and inexperienced schemer.
Without a common sense choice by superdelegates, McCain wins.

I really, really don’t get this meme.
What does winning against another Democrat in a primary have to do with the general against a Republican? In the general, the Democrats will probably vote for him anyways.
If anything, it’s the other way around: Obama is winning in states where a Democrat wouldn’t, which implies that he’d get more support from Republicans and Independents than she would, which gives him a better chance in the general.
More desperate flailing, I think.

My issue with “Trust” and politicians is perfectly contrary to so many who post about Obama’s “trust” factor. I remember eight years ago when President W. platformed on, “do you trust me?” and the country yelled enthusiastically, “Yes!” Trust is such a funny thing in politics… I base my decision on two things: judgment and integrity, of which Hillary has absolutely none, and McCain lost as soon as he realized his bid for president was going to take being a different McCain than the one I respected before. Flip flop…again, a bludgeon used not that long ago, now conveniently forgotten. I believe that speeches do make a difference, as MLK shows pretty poignantly, words can change history. I’m tired of the “politicking” that runs D.C. They’re so accustomed to painting pictures instead of looking at pictures. More than anything I want change, not more lies, high-brow arrogance, and baby kissing. Obama is not the sort who seems to work alone (evidenced in the work that Hillary is so fervently dismissing as illusory) and by surrounding himself by hard working American minds (of which Clinton could be one, if American prosperity were really her goal), he will hardly be ineffectual as commander in chief. Let me say it again…I’ve had enough of the “politics”. They’re like vitamin supplements – only as necessary as we make them. The rest is simply truth, judgment, hard work, and integrity.

and Scott it doesn’t translate unless she wins by a large margin.
The only way primary victories matter is about margins…margins margins margins.
How many times can I say it to those people who keep referring to candidates delivering states from a 1-5% win…
Primary wins only have significance if they are a large margin. and there is no magic number as to how large necessarily but again if you look at the numbers…Obama has many more states that if we don’t destroy ourselves we could win and expand in Novemebr because of all the other numbers in play…
…but this is about Hillary becoming President (because she is part of our Presidential couple) This isn’t not riding into the general with the strongest momentum and candidate…and a candidate that most people could’ve been proud of before the fight to the death.
Celebrity death match …the Presidential primary version.

Does it really matter what Mark Penn or Hillary Clinton think or say?
They have shown themselves to be incompetetent.
They thought they had the nomination in the bag from the beginning.
Now, even though they have lost, they go on pretending…
So desperate and pathetic.
A woman scorned…
If she can’t win, she’d rather see McCain win the presidency.
That’s their goal… and the goal of the people with the special interests etc.

It’s everything. BHO’s pastor, his wife and HC’s husband. My experience in the 90s. My broken heart when Al Gore lost. How this election is shaping up. I don’t have a formula to plug in values to come out with a trust score. It’s visceral. All in all I distrust him more today than yesterday and yesterday was more than a week ago.

If you Obama folks think that solid RED states that have voted the last 3 or 4 or more elections republican are going to suddenly change and go for Obama, y0ou are out of your minds.

dl:
Margins don’t matter either.
Look at it this way: say in a state, 40% are Repo, 40% are Demo, and 20* are Ind. In the Primary, Clinton wins 60% of the Dem vote, Obama wins 40%, but also wins the Ind vote.
Clinton wins the primary in that state.
Now let’s look at the general, with Obama as the nominee: he wins 100% of the Dem and 60% of the Ind vote, McCain wins 100% Repo and 40% Ind.
Obama wins the general in that state.
With Clinton as the nominee: 100% Dem, 20% Ind, so McCain wins the state.
Obviously these are all made-up numbers, but my point is that how a Dem vs. a Dem primary battle goes tells us absolutely NOTHING about how the general will go, because in the primary it’s mostly Dem voters. She may win amongst the Dems in the primary, but most of the Dems that voted for her in the primary would vote for Obama in the general.

and scott…the margins can matter when you are trying to win a state or a state looks to be close and the candidates popularity comes in to question…
How many will turn out…
in somecases in the primary alone states saw numbers where a candidate on one side is showing support 2 and 3 times as the candidate on the other side.
Who do you want going in to battle for the popular vote…
JR
That shows how much you understand the numbers… there are a number or red states who have been slowly changing in demographic and political stance that have been trending toward the blue column anyway…like Colorado, or North Carolina, Georgia, Missouri (albeit this is a state without a large margin)…
These states
and many more that were only like 5-7 percent in many cases on the Repub side in 2004 and had dropped somehwere between 8 and 10 percent from 2000 to 2004. With the movement of Republican to Democrats that they have been following this year, especially combined with large margins on the part of Barack over Hillary in many cases, Dems over Repubs in the primaries (in 2 to 1 in numbers) … and Mccains small percentages of the repub vote …
Yes there is a good chance…we could change a number of states…
Baracks numbers in some of those states were larger than the entire republican turn out in some cases he had like 3 to 1 numbers than McCain. Hillary doesn’t have that….oh besides Arkansas.

Several have mentioned the trust issue here…I can’t trust a candidate who, for 20 years, has attended a church whose pastor inflames his own congregation with such hatred (as I heard on the video on ABC news today.) I can’t believe the majority of people in this country would even consider trusting someone who hasn’t distanced himself from this kind of rhetoric; if not for his own personal integrity or even his political future, then for his children’s sake!

how can hillary and her campaign speak for every dem voter in the dem states she won in the primary, that these voters won’t support obama in the fall ? this just shows how conceited she really is. all the dems in these states she claims will vote rebuplican or some other way because she is not the nominee. well not for all the experience in the world or to see a woman as president or color of ones skin, does this country deserve another Bush in the white house.

If he cannot win, she cannot win. More people hate and I mean detest the Clinton’s, both of them, than him.
What, does she think people will just fall in love with her? Does she think people will just suck it up and vote for her? Seriously people hate the Clinton’s. Not just Repubs or Indep. I talking about Dems. She is getting a TON of SYMPATHY now, but you wait, it won’t last…
Do her supporters not understand, his supporters feel the same way about her as you all do about him.
McCain 08!

I don’t think Hillary is running so people “like” her. She is running to do a job.

Jay,
Dont yu feel silly now ?
“Obama canceled his campaign stop this morning at a PA college claiming he had to be in Washington. Maybe the audience was so small”-jay
Looks like Obama McCain and Clinton all had to be in washington !
You look very very silly!

Komrade Darrell says
“A House Divided Against Itself shall Not Stand,”
Buddy. Hillary feels she is ENTITLED to sole possession of the house.
She gonna burn it down before she lets Obama in.

Penn was apparently quoted out of context. His analysis is similar to many other experts on electability. Without the hype, I will try to break it down:
Clinton has the dem core voters who are party loyal. The only loyal dem voters who support Obama are the liberal latte. The state contests show a distinct result:
Obama cannot win the electoral majority in Nov without Clinton supporters.
Clinton is already carrying the electoral majority without Obama supporters.
What he said was related to the above facts. If Obama is the nominee, he must somehow suddenly get the support of 75% or more of the dem core to beat McCain. These are simple statistical facts based on all the variables.
This is more a talking point for the SDs than the voters but it will influence the core dem voters who have not voted yet which may result in strong Clinton wins. Ultimately, it is the SDs that will tip the election either way in combination with the will of the voters, not in spite of them.
It is a close race, anything can happen, let the nomination process playout and let the remaining voters participate including MI and FL.

Mat Math. I think it is safe to say at this stage of the game you can throw out your abacus, calculator, slide rule and spread sheets. Math will not be a factor in whom the super delegates will choose. They have too look at electability and strategy, and August is light years away.
If Mr. Obama continues his downward trend in the polls and in public perception as the weaker candidate, the supers will throw their support behind Hillary. That is the reason they are there. Since Obama came on the scene people voted with their feelings and their hearts , not their heads. They are political experts who must steer the country and the electorate in the proper direction.

Mark Penn needs to remember the REPUBLICANS WON’T BE VOTING FOR HILLARY in November although I doubt she will make it that far.
I can understand all the race baiting. I don’t agree with it, but I can see right through it. It is simply to enrage white voters so they will get out and vote for her.
But to play right into the Republican’s hands…I just don’t get it. She really is burning Rhome isn’t she.

dl
You seem to assume than the trend of red states turning blue since 2000 (if it exists) will continue and you base that on 2004. In 2004, Bush running for re-election kept those states even though most people had learned by that time that he was an idiot. Republicans stay true to their party even at the cost of their own integritiy. Now they have McCain running and republicans will fall in line behind him more than they did Bush. Independents don’t have a problem with McCain either. I say again and I say it as a 20 democrat, Obama hasn’t got a prayer.

Well Mat, there are still 351 super delegates uncommitted, and none of them are budging an inch either way. What are they waiting for? If as you say, it is over for Clinton, than all 351 should have jumped to Obama by now. Why are they waiting?

I can not agree more that Obama can not win a general election. First and foremost because he is not qualified for the job (doesn’t matter if he’s black, asian, mexican, or anglo-sachsen), he is actually quite dumb but I certainly wouldn’t say as dumb as WB. The reason why he’s gotten so far: Rep’s know he can’t win coming November. Since they have a vast control of the American media they have been giving him positive media coverage, with positive results as you can see. I’ll bet with anyone that if he wins the nomination that we will have another Republican President for at least another 4 years, just enough to build a case towards attacking Iran, the last major Oil country NOT under US control.
So, to make this clear so the equally dumb supporters of the Obama campaign get it, a vote for Obama to become nominee is like voting for McCain for President, understand dumbo?
Clinton can certainly beat McCain, and Bill has been one of the better Presidents in America’s recent history. If you disagree, then who was better fool?

Hey Obama supporters. I am the blackest
of black democrats but cant be fooled
like you just voting for Obama because
he is black. Lets be realistic because
the superdelegates will be very
realistic in making Hillary the nominee,
like it or not. Facts:Obama is in the
lead because blacks have voted for him
9-1. Blacks make up only 12.5% of the
population. Then all the whites should
vote for Hillary and the nomination is
over. When Obama wins, these states are
so marginal Hillary gets peanuts to
finish second vs when Hillary wins
these states are so meaningful, Obama
gets many delegates to finish second,
eg, California,Texas, New York, New
Jersey, Massachussetts, just to name a
few. Hillary’s Highest count in
delegates to finish second is 49 in
Illinois. If the superdelegates read
this from me they can easily solve
this nomination quagmire. Simple math.
Winner takes all in the states they won.
Totals. Clinton 1414, Obama 1231 and
this is not counting Florida and
Michigan. By the way, the DNC should
conduct the rest of the races as
primaries, not caucuses, the people vote
big come election day

It still seems that she is still the inevitable president… either Clinton in 2008 or she will make it imposible for a dem to win, going so far as to praising the republican candidate over the democratic front runner leaving it open for her in 2012.
Also,
Why is the media allowing the candidates, mainly the Clintons, get away with all of this political posturing over the Florida mail-in ballot. It is against the state constitution to have any mail-in vote in which a candidate appears on the ballot (questions and propositions are okay). So, not a problem, hold a private non-state supported primary paid for by rich Clinton supporters (New Jersey’s Governor) but the constitution also prohibits the state from sharing the voter roles and information, so why let someone score points for backing a plan that they know isn’t doable?

Rep’s are not only cheating on converting to Dem’s to vote for the weak and dumb candidate, the media people are playing the biggest role (by the way those are the same media people covering WB’s dumb ass because he should be declared the worst President EVER)!
Imagine, if we put Obama in the oval office, it’d be like an intern was just hired to run the biggest company in the world! lol It’d be like in 2000 when WB took office, and look how he ran America since then? Thank you.
I disagree with Obama being the VP, for what? He does not bring any value to the table. If Rep’s would give me the same media coverage, I could get on the polls and retardately yell ‘Change Change’ and get some votes.
The VP has to be smart taking care all the issues in the background and advise the President on ALL issues with deep knowledge, what the hell is Obama gonna advise Hillary? ‘Umm.. I think we got some people overseas mad at us, I dunno why but they just called you a biatch. Lemme go send some B2′s for you and scare them off.’
Look, the choice is quite simple, and btw. I’m neither a Rep nor a Dem, if I could I would vote for Nader all the way which is sadly not realistic the way this retarded and outdated two party system works. But I follow politics and I do see a challenging time ahead of us because ultimately every Obama vote brings McBush2 closer to the White house and unintentionally closer to another war, more poverty hence increased crime rates while the count of billionaires continues to rise, decline in education, less people medically insured, maybe another 9/11 to have a reason to invade another oil rich country, etc..etc. = chaos! (same as we’ve been watching from the sideline since 2000)
But what do I know, I’m just an independent observer.

In every pole I’ve seen, Clinton vs. McCain or Obama vs. Mcain, I havn’t seen any candidate cross the 50% threshold. That means the independents are keeping thier powder dry. Neither McCain nor Obama were thier parties establishment candidate and that seems to register with the swing voters who are tired of the partisan battles on both sides of the isle, Clinton is a polalizing figure and has too high a negative to win the independent and cross the 50% threshold.

to druid then i guess you agree with rev wrights statements just like obama contiues to do by attending ,contributing and the absolutely most unforgivable thing exposing two very young and very innocent girls to this kind of hate and antiamerican garbage and you want this charlaten to be president,it also puts michelles comment about this being the first time in her life that she is proud to be an american,lol they are done this is not going away and should we be stupid enough to still nominate this antiamerican snake oil salesman then its over mcain will win in a landslide.

McCain was was endorsed by a pastor who and I quote “Hurricane Katrina was an act of God, punishing New Orleans for “a level of sin that was offensive to God”. “of the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans.” He went on to say hurricane struck and that this was proof “of the judgment of God”.
Pat Roberston -Evangelical Leader said and I quote ” “Maybe we need a very small nuke thrown off on Foggy Bottom to shake things up” –Pat Robertson, on nuking the State Department
“Well, I totally concur.” –Pat Robertson to Jerry Falwell following the Sept. 11 attacks, after Falwell said, “I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way — all of them who have tried to secularize America — I point the finger in their face and say: “You helped this happen.”
So should EVERY ONE THAT CONSIDERS THEMSELVES TO BE EVANGELICAL HAVE RENOUNCED THEIR FAITH? SHOULD McCain have renounced Hagee? Should HAGEE’S members have walked out? Should Catholics left the church when it was found out the sooooooo many priets were molesting children? NO, the fact is many relgious leaders say things we DO NOT AGREE WITH IN TOTALITY. WE ARE NOT GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION.

Hillary should hire Mohammed Saeed Al-Sahhaf (remember the” Bagdad Bob” on Iraqi TV during the invasion?). He should be able to pass her test about the “experience” required in communicating to the media. If Hillary added him to her staff, Mark Penn and Howard Wolfson could stay on as her trusted and loyal advisors but both should have to clear their public comments with their new mentor.

Perhaps the most widespread misconception about Barack Obama that has been forcefully expounded by both Hillary Clinton and John McCain is that because he is younger than both of them he therefore must be too inexperienced to be president.
Senator John McCain is 71 years old, Senator Hillary Clinton is age 60 and Senator Barak Obama is 46 years of age. But America has had both younger and older individuals who have served with great distinction as president such as Theodore Roosevelt who became president at age 42, John Kennedy who assumed the presidency at age 43, and Ronald Regan who was sworn in as the Commander in Chief on January 20, 1981 at age 69.
Bill Clinton became president at age 46 after having served 12 years as the governor of Arkansas, but without having had any experience whatsoever in Washington. Before Abraham Lincoln took the oath of office in 1860 to become our 16th president he had previously served 8 years as an Illinois state legislator and 4 years in the U.S. Congress, which incidentally just happens to have been precisely Barack Obama’s experience. If Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th President of the United States on January 20, 2009 he will have served 12 years as an elected legislator which include 8 years as an Illinois State Senator and 4 years as a U.S. Senator and he will be 47 years old.
In the 1960 Democratic primary election Senator John Kennedy was also told he was too young and inexperienced to be president, then by such notable members of the “old guard” as Eleanor Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Adlai Stevenson, and Lyndon Johnson. Kennedy was told to wait his turn! But, of course JFK won the 1960 Democratic primary and went on to defeat Richard Nixon in the general election despite Nixon’s protest that “Kennedy is too young and inexperienced to be President.” It wasn’t true then about John F. Kennedy and it isn’t true now about Barack Obama.
Voters should evaluate Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama not simply on the basis of their respective ages of 60 and 46 but look closely at how each of them approaches politics and consider their individual life experience, compare their respective judgment, character, vision, intelligence, imagination and creativity, and assess each one’s ability to unify America and actually bring about significant changes in Washington.

Obama is now appearing on the various news outlet’s trying to defend himself on having such a long relationship with a racist and bigoted Pastor J Wright, People please don’t fall for this, Obama is good at lying and duping the American Public, he has no credibility or trust now, he should have put this in the bag a long time ago, he’s only doing it now, in order to save his Political career, well, the American public are not illiterate or stupid like he may think. Obama’s goose may be finally cooked on this one, America please remember this at the voting poles, let’s stop Obama before he becomes our President, there is no way Obama can claim he did not know what his Pastor was preaching on Sunday mornings, if he was not their in person, Obama could buy video and audio tapes of his teachings like other people do over the internet and mail order service, so he knew or should have know that his Pastor was teaching anti- American, and racist sermons over the last 20yrs. Obama should not try an insult the American’s people’s intelligence. I don’t want a Presidential candidate who is already trying took make a fool out of me. Obama is no good fro America, vote for Hillary it least you know what you are getting, as opposed to Obama, who have a lot more skeleton’s in the closet that’s yet to be brought out into the light.

I’m an Black American Male who believes that Obama should stop his campaign and go home, America does not need a President who is associated with a known racist and bigot for over 20yrs and than having him work in his campaign, Obama is a undercover racist and bigot as well, there is no way he can convince me that he truly did not know what his Pastor’s teachings stood for, Come on please don’t insult my intelligence.
I believe now that the truth has finally came out will still come out about Obama’s past, America is going to be even more shocked, so people put your seat belts on and fasten them tight, because a steep roller coaster of Obama life is going to be revealed before you even faster, now that the news media his finally got some guts to start sharing with America all of Obama’s deep dark secrets that he thought would never come up and out, before he was mistakenly nominated for Presidency.
I recommend that the mature voters lead teach and guide the younger voters in a different direction from Obama, because they have tremendously been brained washed by Obama’s occult like speeches, it’s going to be hard to get them to accept that Obama is not good for America, but if the older voters stick together and really mentor our young people, they will begin to fall away from Obama’s campaign and grip hold on their young minds one by one, some of these young people really don’t know the election process, and many have voted for the first time in their lives, Obama’s campaign rallies to them where like going to a late night rock concert, they begin to follow Obama like he was a popular rock or Rap star, so many of our young people’s minds has to be purged and reconditioned away from Obama’s compelling grip, it’s like being on a ill-legal drug and have to go through drug detoxicifican in order to come down off it, this is how far some of our young people his been deceived and brain washed by the Obama campaign.
I suggest that all Americans begin writing letters by the millions to the media and the DNC Chairman Howard Dean to pressure Obama to step down, and if he refuses, do not vote for him anymore throughout the rest these primaries, this will send a strong message that we do not want a liar, a person that was associated with a known racist or bigot Pastor for over 20yrs, and now Obama tries to denounce the Pastor to dupe the American people into saving his political career, it’s over for Obama now, no turning back for him, If this happens, the Super delegates and voters will start switching to or back to Hillary’s side because it would be the most popular, politically correct, and safest thing to do now, I believe if we don’t denounce and get rid of Obama now, America would have made a grave mistake in the long-term, Democratic Party and America as a whole will suffer for not stopping this man in his tracks before he divide this country up even more.
As a Black voter for Hillary, Geraldine Ferraro was right on the money, if it was not for the black vote, Obama would not have gotten this far in the first place, her statement is not racist to me, she was only stating fact by looking at the high percentage of blacks voting for Obama in the primaries, this is very obvious, this is not rocket science you know. So, the voter’s and super delegates who voted for Obama reject needs to reject those votes and vote for Hillary before it’s too late, Obama is definitely a liability and political death for the Democratic Party and America as well

Wow. Darrell I don’t believe for one moment that you are black. You are not fooling anyone. You are just pretending to be someone you are not in order to persuade voters to think differently about Barack. And I suggest that all of the haters of Rev. Wright take time to listen to his his remarks within their original context before before finalizing your opinions. The 15 or 30 second sound bites of Pastor Wright’s remarks were deliberately chosen in order to promote negative public opinions of both Sen. Obama and Dr. Wright.
