Bill Clinton on Obama’s ‘Bitter’ Comment

You’re right, Bill. Hillary will restore our middle class! She’ll also help the Obama zombies not to be so bitter about it.

I think the less Bill talks the better.

Bill Clinton the bastion of truth :)

I find it interesting that Obama is supposed to be a Democrat devoted to his party and what it represents, yet he denigrates the Clinton years whenever he gets a chance. Could that be that he is just like every other politician afterall, and really just wants to win? Afterall, he did say it would be really cool to sit in the Oval Office on Day One.

Emily, you have to redo your history lesson, Bill has signed NAFTA and that is what Hill has said, because she was opposed to it as to the Rwanda genocide but behind the close doors. Hill the Bosnian General will not get away from this. Bill’s words have surfaced saying exactely in 1991 when running against GHB what Obama has explained today. But instead of fixing the issues confronted by the middle calss, Bill and Hill have shipped jobs overseas and are again doing the same thing in Colombia with the support of Penn. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

BKMC
Yes — it’s a shame all those plumbers and doctors and such have been shipped overseas. A real shame!

Obama supporters are stunned that people can struggle with grace. They don’t think it is possible for people who are struggling to have a noble nature too. They don’t believe that such people can be struggling yet be hopeful. Because Obama invented Hope. It is not possible for struggling people to have had Hope in their lives before him.

I’m tired of Bill and his comments. We really don’t need a Bush, than a Clinton, a than another Bush, than another Clinton again! Yikes! We need something new. Go Barack Obama!

First let us take a deep drag while we listen to Bill Clinton’s excuse for Hillary’s Bosnia lie. “It was midnight and she is 60″ doesn’t sound like anybody wants her on the phone at 3 a.m., does it? Bill and Hill take your meds and and be quiet, it was 9 a.m. after a day of rest when she concocted the Rambo story.

Yes, Texans don’t think NAFTA should have been passed.

Matt…”core base of fruit loops”?
Love it!

In the world of Obama elites, if one seeks Guns and Gods only if one is struggling. Faith and religion are not cultural values, rather, an infection, a disease caused by life’s struggles.

@ Branden
That is why neither candidate was attacking NAFTA in Texas.
Texas cities and other parts of the country have benefited from NAFTA.

Throughout many rural areas in the country these views are prevalent; for many these views will not change anytime soon. Equally, folks in these regions are not as out of touch or as ill informed as some may suggest.
Politically, I suspect many in these regions recognize their dilemma, and are not fazed by Clinton or McCain’s attempt to gains points. Given Obama’s reception in the rural West, I do not see any reason to believe his campaign will be harmed.
The overwhelming fact is rural America is in need of a great deal of attention. Albeit not much, Obama is the only candidate who seriously addressed issues faced by rural and small town America.
In regions once called border or Mason-Dixie states select issues( broadly, the values issues) are detrimental but these shall remain as well; their impact on the overall should be minimum, and will not change anything for Clinton.

Emily, I don’t find much “original thought” in your post – just rudeness and things you would probably not say to a person if they were standing in front of you, but you will hide behind a faceles, nameless BLOG. Your not doing Hillary any favors.

Did Bill say special interest groups whe he made 111 million, 15 milion we know for sure was a crooked deal. What does Bill mean by “going a different directio”, and his middle class comment he doesn’t care about the poor? Thatas a lot coming from someone who was almost impeached. The main amercia is blind to even considerate someone as low as hillary, her motto its me or I’ll try an dmake us lose, that want even work Bye B

tom — i profit from things i dont agree with all the time. i work, and i certainly do not endorse everything my company does. oh well, life goes on. notice how michelle obama resigned from treehouse foods once obama’s campaign started the anti-walmart thing. i guess she suddenly “agreed” with him over walmart.

I hope Obama doesn’t fart anytime in public cause I can see what that stinky HIibill would say, these two have become comics there is no way this Btch will win drinking in a bar and Chelese is being PIMPED by her parents going to lunch and hugging young supers delegates for a vote what is that,

New Yorker did you forget Bush stole the election the clinton years were good aood for most.

TJ,
I’m sure the savior Obama can take your squirrel haul, and turn it into enough squirrel meat to feed a mighty band of a thousand there is western Pennsylvania.
========================================
Obama will say and do anything to make sure he doesn’t win the election!
========================================

Man we are really going to still whine about 2000? if youre still trying to argue about 2000, youre not doing a damn thing to help in 2008. it’s over, it was almost 8 years ago, get over it and stop whining, i loathe george bush but hell…

Garett,
New Yorker is the only person to make a thoughtful comment? You must be one of those small-minded bitter people that Obama was referring to. Good thing you have New Yorker to think for you, sitting over in a corner, clutching a gun, reading your Bible, and trembling, waiting for Obama to save us.
========================================
Thank Obama for Obama.
Obama bless us all everyone.
========================================

TJ,
Can you be more specific about the action that Obama provides? Are you talking about the 20 years of silent protest that he engaged in against the Reverend Wright?
========================================
Obama, the strength to maintain pure silent protest for 20 straight years!
========================================

BKMC,
When can we expect the mighty speech which Obama will present to talk his way out of this one?
========================================
A mighty speech is a’comin’ like a hurricane.
========================================

OregonEngineer,
Your analysis is probably not far off. I suspect the MoveOn.org crowd was largely behind the Nader fiasco. I’m still going for Hillary who is willing to stand up for working class America over Obama, who is clearly an elitist.
========================================
Obama, the man from Harvard who bowls 37.
========================================

I think guns, religion and presidential candidates who denigrate their supporters are all signs of American stupidity.

tom — i profit from things i dont agree with all the time. i work, and i certainly do not endorse everything my company does. oh well, life goes on. notice how michelle obama resigned from treehouse foods once obama’s campaign started the anti-walmart thing. i guess she suddenly “agreed” with him over walmart.

WCM- Thanks for clearing that up. I would suggest medication, but that would cost you a lot since the Clintons failed miserably getting any sort of health care reform passed. You’ll just have to stick with “bitter”, but I recommend staying away from guns in your state of mind….

Aston,
I’ve been waiting for the same. I keep hearing claims like he’s a man of action, but I don’t hear any logic to back it. Maybe in 8 years.
========================================
Obama 2016
========================================

I’m bitter that Hillary continues to mis-lead americans from the truth!
working-class Voters take note!

Claire,
Good thing we have the elitists to tell us what our values should be. Also, your cleverly drafted insidious attacks against me at a personal level rival no one that I’ve encountered in the blogs heretofore, except perhaps the neanderthal that goes by the handle Kevin, and occasionally deteriorates to grunts. Hey, but in the Obama zombie nation grunts count as votes.
========================================
Obama knows what we want!
We don’t!
========================================

“Politics as usual”: Make a big stink over bad wording and misrepresent an intelligent underlying position.
This tact will not improve the lives of ANY American; and certainly not improve the lives and thinking level of those whose educational level is sophisticated enough to appreciate the salient point Obama made.
Economic dislocation DOES give rise to anxiety, frustration, bitterness and polarization of BOTH family members and the nation.

Have the Clintons or their spokespersons looked up the definition of “bitter”. Some of them are “marked by strong resentment or cynicism” and “resentful”, “hostile”. Maybe Obama is correct, after all? Surely lawyers should be used to dealing with language. Mr. Hillary, after all, is famous for trying to define “is”, isn’t he?

you’re right!
Emily IS stupid!
I’ve always wondered where this (mis) information about the intelligence of voters emanates>
I know I didn’t leave My education credentials in the voting cubie.
Who has substantiated or quantified the errata of this data?
Who said you have to have a degree to prove you’re smart!
In any case, you can see by the posts of the majority of B O fanatics…..
that it obviously is an elitist misconception because they’re
Dumb Dumb Dumb!
GAUDEAMUS IGITUR
and GIVE ‘EM HELL, HILLARY!

It’s pathetic to see the Clintons stoop to this level in their desperation.

If Wright has maids in his new 1.6 million dollar house, do those maids call him ‘master’?

Hillary is planning to CRY (LITERALLY) again on Apr 20th just like she won the second state.
Other option she will take is do something to hold on to all the Grannies.
I love my Grannie but no way I would let her decide the FATE OF WORLD not just USA. But for my home though, she is the Queen.
Most of these Clintonites (Grannie minded CULT) don’t get the point that they are LEGISLATING Bill’s 2007 Christmas wish of “WHITE HOUSE PLEASURES”.

David or any other Obamapoloist:
Can you please tell us how it is “telling the truth” when you blame your lack of support among poor people on failed policies of the past? How is it telling the truth to argue that people’s religion, position on guns, gay rights, etc, results from government? Thats a pretty peculiar role for government; poor people just sit and wait for the government, and if they are upset, they run to Jesus, the NRA, and the anti-gay crowd. This is not “factual,” it is Obamalese.
I have no problem saying that people are angry over the economy and suspcious of economic policy or even immigration for those reasons. It is a completely different propisition to attribute those other concerns to anger with Bush and Clinton.
THE most disturbing thing about the commments is Obama, yet again, places blame elsewhere. Why is he losing the poor vote? Aw — Clinton and Bush! Why might he lose to McCain? Clinton and that nasty thing called democracy! Blaming your weaknesses on others will not make them go away.

New Yorker…
One of the main reasons Gore didn’t win was because he decided to distance himself from Clinton because of the Starr report.
It proved to be an unwise decision because even then Clinton was a beloved chief who accomplished a great deal of good for the country.
But maybe that was meant to be; Gore has come into his own since those days and has excelled in his environmental works.

WCM- Nice try using my post name so you can BLOG back one of your rants. I made a mistake posting to you. You are a waste of my time and shame on me for thinking you might have the ability to be civil. That’s not being an “elitist” – that is called being raised with manners and respect for others even though I may not agree with them. A concept clearly lost on you.

It is amazing how many people here in PA in the last couple days have jumped off the Obama bandwagon, and rightly so.

Let’s be honest. Tiger woods probably has more political savy and insight that Barak Osama Bin Laden.
——————————
I’m trying to visualize the person who wrote this, and I’m seeing someone who has a couple of front teeth missing and plays the banjo on the front porch.

Maybe there aren’t Bubbas driving around in pickup trucks with the classic bumpersticker “God, Guns and Guts Made America Free” where Obama’s detractors live, but here in rural Pennsylvania that line may as well replace “e pluribus unum” as the motto on the national currency.
I live in western Pennsylvania, and I can tell you, people here are bitter and angry. Poverty is prevalent. People hunt squirrels and eat them, along with racoon stew. People also hunt deer here, not for sport, but so they can put meat in their freezer so they can feed their families. They cut wood in the forests and heat their homes with wood stoves because they can’t afford to pay the gas bill. I know a guy who goes to old landfills to dig up old milk and beer bottles to sell on eBay. He uses the proceeds to buy clothes for his family at the Salvation Army (and to pay for his dial-up connection).
Racism and prejudice are ever-present here. A friend of mine is part-owner of bar in a small rural town south of where I live. I meet up with him there occasionally and watch as down-and-out people come in with their disability and welfare check money and drink it away. It’s a pretty depressing place, but it does serve as the social center for a town that has seen its few industries shut down and the local people’s jobs eliminated or shipped off elsewhere.
I hear the usual rants there, that it’s all the fault of gays and minorities and immigrants (although those aren’t the terms used, but rather the usual, virulent slurs). A black man walked in the last time I was there, and a guy near me at the bar muttered in a not-so-quiet way, “What’s he think he’s doing in here?” When I brought up the presidential race and Obama with another man at the bar, his response was, “there ain’t no way America is ever going to vote for a black guy.” Later on my bar-owner friend told me about his experience talking about Obama with another woman at the bar, and her angry response was that “it’s because of half-breed n*****s like him that America is in such bad shape today.”
Prejudice, racism and fear do run rampant in areas like this. People are poor. They are in bad health, overweight from a deep-fried diet, and toothless from the lack of dental care. They are unemployed. They are uneducated. They do cling to their hunting rifles and to their religious beliefs. For many, it is about all that they have. The towns around here are full of decaying, boarded up buildings. People live in rundown old trailers with abandoned cars in the front yard. I have seen people using an old car as a stable, with their goat tied to and living in it. I could drive you by a least three old houses that have Conderate flags in the windows.
So go ahead and discount Obama’s talk of how bitter and angry that some of the people of rural Pennsylvania are. Call him elitist for taking the time to pass through areas such as this to listen to what the people have to say, and to then relate what he has heard to people in more prosperous parts of the country when he is asked about it. I have lived in San Francisco, and let me tell you, there is a marked difference between the general attitude there and the attitude here in the “rust belt”. Go ahead and dismiss everything that Obama said as political posturing. Let Hillary and McCain “pick him apart” and parse his words. But please keep in mind that when Obama said:
“it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
that he is 100% accurate in his assessment.
I know, because I live here, my family and my friends’ families have lived here for generations, and we see it every day, all around this region. There is a very fine line between poverty and prosperity here, where making above $20,000 a year puts you in the realm of the “haves”, but also knowing that you’re one contract termination away from joining the ranks of the “have-nots”.
I come from a family of dairy farmers. I know what it’s like to spend up to 12-16 hours a day sitting on a tractor for three dollars an hour, which I did through high school and every summer until I was fortunate enough to head off to college. Many of my friends were also fortunate and went to school, and then relocated to other parts of the country. Some of us were able to come back under better circumstances, but the large majority of people here are not as fortunate.
Thirty years worth of the right wing dismantling our public education system has taken its toll. Thirty years worth of mismanagement of the economy, of shutting down factories and shipping jobs out of the country, of subsidizing corporate farms and taxing family farms out of business, has taken its toll.
Yes, people are angry, and bitter, but Obama never said that they aren’t resilient, opitmistic or hard-working. Those are Hillary and McCain’s twisted words, and for them to stand up and suggest that rural Pennsylvanians aren’t fed up with the way things are, only reveals how out of touch they really are with at least this part of the country.
Of course, all McCain has to do is suggest to poor rural folk that the party of gun-control, gay marriage, and NAFTA is going to take away what little they have left, and rural conservatives will vote for him, just as they did for Reagan, Bush I and Bush II. As for Hillary, the more she “takes apart” Obama’s message, the more she does the GOP’s work for free. If Hillary can’t see that the people of rural Pennsylvania are bitter, and angry, and mad as hell about the way things are, then she needs to step down from that one hundred million dollar platform of hers and take a real look around.
In western Pennsylvania I hear two things: the “God, Guns and Guts” crowd see John McCain as the heir-apparent to the mantle of rural conservative values; and the people who hope for some kind of change see Barack Obama as the person who understands the situation that we are in, and maybe is the one who can lead us in a new direction. What I don’t hear is anyone talking about whatever and whomever it is that Hillary claims to stand for.

Claire don’t blame WCM, it was me.

I’m bitter because Bill Clinton said “All these economically insecure white people are scared to death”
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/13/bill-clinton-flashback-al_n_96433.html
So after reading this link could you please explain the differences here?

TJ — wrong! Obama wins people with money, precisely because they are protected in today’s economy. Wealthy white Democrats will be fine, and college students are living on their parents and financial aid. Many will go to grad school. Poor people want specifics. That’s why they support the policy wonk. Wealthy white people want to convince the world that they are not racist — although they live in segregated neighborhoods, send their kids to segregated schools, and vigorously oppose policies seeking to distribute evenly school funding or to bus “innercity” kids to “their” schools. And while the nation continues to incarcerate more people than any other country — many of whom are poor and people of color — white Democrats will point to Obama to show how cool they are. Well, here’s the opinion of a black man: show me something real. I don’t need your pie in the sky cultish candidate. That is why people from poor backgrounds vote for Clinton. It is absolutely offensive and snobbish to deem Obama supporters more enlightened than others. I guess this is why this contraversy resonates with so many people.
By the way: I am as well credentialed as Bill, Hillary, Michelle, and Obama. People who have to go around saying that their education leads them to support Candidate X are really simpletons.

Please, please, please don’t talk about Nafta without acknowledging the fact that it was left to Bill Clinton as a fast-track fait accompli by Bush pere.
And you know, the problems with NAFTA, as detailed by Sirota and other vicious Clinton inquisitors, were addressed by Clinton with the so-called side agreements on labor and the environment that Clinton pushed through against obtuse intransigence from the Republican Congressional majority, and then immediately abrogated upon the coronation of Boy Caligula. The sheer poisonous gaseous intellectual dishonesty that permeates this discussion from people that surely know better remains at WMD level red.

Bishop | Apr 13, 2008 4:55:07 PM
Those who would claim that “Bush stole the election in 2000″, or that Ralph Nader was a spoiler are IN DENIAL of the devilish downside of the Clintons years!
The 2000 election SHOULD NOT have been close with a Bush, who could barely put two good ideas together!
People like yourself are finding it hard to accept how self-absorbed and self-destructive are the Clintons.
This even after the serial infidelities, which keeps sinking his ship with Americans.
However, take heart, Bishop, I too used to be ignorant of just how self-absorbed, self-destructive and devilish are the Clintons; but we can see the Clintons present destructiveness on full display, as they continue to undermine the Democratic chances in November if they are not allowed the THIRD TERM they believe they are entitled, especially against a ‘Black’ man! lol

Hillary will grasp at anything. She is desperate. Barack Obama will be our next President. He speaks the truth. Too bad Clinton and and McCain cannot accept the truth. OBAMA 08!!

I’m bitter because Bill Clinton’s foundation is tied to firm assisting China in Tibet crackdown! While Hillary criticises Bush for planning to attending the opening ceremonies for the Olympics!

Is an apology enough for such an ignorance, segregation and bitterness?
What kind of Unity is this? This sounds like dictatorship. It’s your ignorance, stupid Obama. You dont insult the poor and the aflicted for bad administrations and trying to become a therapist without no knowledge. This is scarier than people thought. Barack Obama is the biggest fiasco in the history of American politics.

New Yorker — still looks ignorant to me. Why is Clinton’s run a reflection of “entightlement”? I never heard that accusation made with respect to Bush. Neither Ted Kennedy. Or any of the other male candidates whose family members held office before. Sorry – but your anti-Clinton biases truly cloud your analysis. I started out this campaign open to either candidate. Watching how angry and hypocritical the Obama crowd is has turned me off to the Democratic party. I actually relish the opportunity to see them lose in November. It will be great for them, although they will still make the same mistake every four years. The party is the party of losers. Now that this is becoming apparent, Obama and company are looking to Clinton as a scapegoat. Interesting. The only poor people who are voting for him are black – but that’s Clinton’s fault. He might lose to McCain when the Republicans are at their lowest point in recent history — but, alas, that is Clinton’s fault too. You guys are beginning to sound like a bunch of litte boyz: “my mommy made me wash the dishes and I missed the game….sorry….” Grow up and take responsiblity.

Obama is a farce.

CLINTON = BETRAYAL
She betrayed Bill RichardSon after all LATINOS VOTED for her and even took an extra step calling him as Zero as not many LATINO VOTERS LEFT.
Bill Clinton BETRAYED his own marriage. Surprisingly, Usually Angry Hillary seems to worked out deals (Senator Post) after deals (President post).
Chelsey tell you “NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS”. I guess Hillary must have taught Chelsey that they OWN WHITE HOUSE.
CRAZY WOMAN still pushing for Obama as her VP behind scenes without a clue that no one will vote even Obama if he is in VP position.
Get a grip, its not about who Obama is but what his PATH is.

OMG! LOL! Straight from the Obama Blog! You got to read this one…
Well that Scranton press avail this morning by HRC just did it. Mom is on the warpath! She’s now “mobilizing” her friends to protest at the debate in Philadelphia. My sister stopped by to check on Mom and she said there was practically “steam” coming out of Mom’s ears she’s so mad. She poured Mom some Jack Daniels, but even that didn’t calm her down. Mom’s swearing a blue streak and “working on” her poster slogans:
“I’m over 75, white, female and SERIOUSLY Pissed Off”
Not a good picture for TV.
Posted earlier this morning:
According to my Mom, a 78 year old, avid Obama supporter, Senator Obama was just being “polite” when he used the word bitter. “Most people are fed up and angry at the way Washington works for the few, the wealthy and the connected. In mixed company, he couldn’t say what people really feel – We’re PISSED OFF!.” Bitter is just a more polite way of expressing that sentiment according to my mother. According to Mom, her new campaign slogan is:
“Pissed Off and Ready for Change!”
She wanted to put that on a sign for her car and drive around HRC events in PA. My sister talked Mom out of that one, but then Mom saw the CNN Express bus parked over at the Phila. Art museum and got a better idea. “I could get behind Bill Schneider with my sign and then hold it up when he’s broadcasting”. Can you see the CNN coverage of a little old white lady yelling, “I’m Pissed Off and Ready for Change” being removed from the scene? Jack Cafferty would probably be the only one to cover it. My sister is talking about hiding Mom’s car keys until the PA primary is over.
Mom is now turning the TV off every time the talking heads start in on “her” candidate. Last month, the talking heads and the HRC campaign’s tactics got Mom so stirred up, she was hospitalized for a mini-stroke. “I’m not winding up back in the hospital because of these morons, I’m just writing another check, so take that you imbeciles!”. She’s also taken up writing Gov. Corzine of NJ, to “give him a piece of my taxpayer’s mind”. My sister and I can’t wait until the primaries are over, simply to keep Mom from having a major stroke.

Barack Obama’s statements don’t come out of aloofness They come from personal experience clinging himself to satanic sects and cultivating violence and resentement due to the incapacity to adjust to society and to blame thier misery to others. Barack and Obama are the perfect example of what goes wrong in America and it is their constant insult to the majority of the American people who suffer and dont want recrimination from ambitious politicians with no regard but to themselves. Sad.

TJ — was that woman carrying her gun or bible? Did the blog mention that?

When are they going to retire Mr. Potato Head, Bill Clinton, Anyways?
He has a Potato Head adulteror outfit, that every Potato Head (mistress), in a blue dress, is aware of.
He has a Potato Head Outfit for the black church….as well as another one for the white church.
He dresses in Potato Head Presidential dress, for those commitments that have him actually looking like a president.
He also has an animal Potato Head outfit that makes him look similar to a cross between a horse and a mule. That’s his every day outfit though. You’ve probably seen it….it’s usually what he wears, every time he speaks publicly.
Everything that comes out of his mouth, sounds like a cross between a mule and a horse.
Hee—Haawww!

Obama includes religion, along with guns, xenophobia, and bigotry as things that small town
people cling to because they are bitter at their economic disadvantage.
He says this in private to wealthy San Fransisco donors, who probably feel the same way and
did not consider it controversial.
His attempt to “unsay” it and claim that what he meant to say was some construct he obviously
wished he had said was laughable.
There was nothing unclear about his original statement on April 6. He thinks religion is an
anachronism that will disappear with prosperity.
While his supporters may “cling” to the hope that this will blow over, Obama is toast.
Americans will rightfully not elect a secular humanist or atheist as president.

I think what is more depressing than anything else is all the name-calling, crap-slinging, fallacies, rumors, and lies that consistently get posted on every single news site which allows public, uncensored comments.
If you don’t believe this election is dividing people, then you might just need to look again. Maybe it’s a problem with the internet (instead of the people posting on it) but I cannot imagine any of these comments being said in real life without fisticuffs breaking out.
Look at who you are insulting when you post. You’re not insulting a murderer or a rapist, a thief or an arsonist, an abuser or a kidnapper (well.. perhaps you are, it IS the internet). You are insulting your “fellow American”. You’re insulting your brothers and sisters, the people who are supposed to be there to take care of you when you’re down and out of luck.
Maybe some day internet debates will be based off of reason, compassion, and morality (and perhaps literacy and correct grammar will follow!), but for now it is just an excellent way to depress one’s self if they care about other people and their lives. It is also an excellent way to throw one’s hate and daily frustration on other people, making them hateful and frustrated (and bitter) as well.
I wish we’d all start citing facts, straying away from misinterpretations, heading towards trying to find the truth.
Name-calling and petty arguments are not going to lead Americans into finding the right candidate for their country. Name-calling and petty arguments are what politicians WANT. It is the game of which they are masters. If the game is reversed by the average man and woman, politicians will start having to cite their own “facts”, show where they have come up with their “own opinions”, and show how these policies ACTUALLY benefits Americans (and how their drawbacks affect us, too).
Maybe one day I can log on the internet and see people arguing in hopes of finding the truth (and therefore, the best leader for our nation) instead of seeing them blindly rush forward to attack or defend a candidate. All the candidates have flaws, but I can tell you this much without having to know anything about them, and I wish you to take home this point if nothing else:
One of candidates is the best leader for our country and the others are not (though they may be close). It is up to us, the people, to ensure that candidate is the best. When we don’t do that, we fail as Americans.

Everybody is waiting for the next polls. When is the funeral?It is about time for the Obama fiasco to end with grace.

BLAME THE SPEECH WRITER
Obama is a politician with a great speech writer…. nothing more.
Last week’s fiasco was effected by the absence of this wordwriter…so B O remains absolutely blameless for those syllables emanating from his mouth.
In essence, his velvet tongue got caught between his true thoughts and his loose lips.
It is hard to use Liquid Paper on the spoken word, but being the Teflon Man Obama might very well find a way.
My point is this:
Since most of Obama’s programs are actually echoes of Hillary’s solutions anyways, WHY DON’T WE JUST HIRE THE SPEECH WRITER…..and hit” delete delete’ to Obama’s candidacy?
That’s the way HE won his state senatorship in Illinois.
That’s also the way HE ran his campaign for the US Senate.
To level the election playing field,
he connnived to eliminate his opponents…by actions bordering on the Illegal.
It’s the truth, it’s actual:you can check it out at the Chicago Tribune.
And isn’t turn-about fair play?..
especially in politics.

SOLUTIONS (war) FOR AMERICA!
HILLARY ’08!

I’m sorry to see Clintons grasping to this level of dirty politics to win. Here is one democrat that will not vote for Clinton

In the other post, I outlined why the “Clinton years” were a mix bag with horror show, which clogged up America’s government with an IMPEACHMENT; because of the Clintons’ LYING and shameless disposition!
Clinton years were NOT GOOD ENOUGH for an Al Gore succession, says the American people!
Now this post is about why President Obama will be uniquely qualified and very very good for America!
1. Barack’s mom spent her life in helping to empower women in Asia, whom she came to recognize as been far worse off than her American ‘sisters’.
2. Barack’s mom OBVIOUSLY passed on her COMPASSIONATE CHARACTERISTICS (along with other good ones) to her only son.
3. The HIGHLY INTELLIGENT and concerned Obama was a Community Organizer out of college.
He was especially helpful to working families who lost their jobs when the UNPATRIOTIC POLICIES of Washington’s UNPATRIOTIC POLITICIANS allowed American jobs to be shipped over seas, and left American workers and their families scattered to the four winds.
4. After Harvard Law School, the HIGHLY EDUCATED Obama was a Civil Rights lawyer, AGAIN for the ‘average joe’ in his Community.
5. Then the INSIGHTFUL Obama recognized that having political power would allow him to do more for his community; and so the people of his community elected him to the State Legislature to go work for them.
6. Then alert Americans of Obama’s community AGAIN sent him to Washington as a US Senator to go ‘do his thing’ for them.
7. And now Americans in droves from all over are rightly convinced and motivated by the fact that President Obama WILL serve THEIR INTERESTS in the highest office of the land.
8. Barack Obama is well connected genetically.
a) Obama descends from a lineage that produced leaders of men and of women.
b) Barack Obama is the son of PhDs.
c) Barack’s dad emerged from the sticks of African jungle to attain the highest degree from the top University in the most industrialized nation on the earth!
Barack’s dad was a Harvard Phd.
d) Like he and his dad before him, Barack’s wife is ALSO a Harvard grad and a damn fine, dignified and principled female lawyer.
9) Notice the highly intelligent, highly effective, highly efficient and highly successful campaign run by Barack Obama?
That’s a sign of good leadership.
10) While campaigning for the Senate, Obama was on the stumps analyzing the down side of the the wasteful Iraq war versus NO UPSIDE.
Barack Obama showed his ‘stones’ to publicly opposed the bungling Bush war, while too many Americans COWER IN IGNORANCE & FEAR.
Some of our lost leaders did not even bother to read the Intelligence Estimate, considering that TENS OF THOUSANDS of Americans could lose lives, limbs, mental health, and America’s treasury could be severly depleted, while the maniac muslims have a field day in AFGHANISTAN & PAKISTAN, to this day!
11. I could go on; but ….
-

Obama pointed out feelings of those who were promised by both Administration, over the last thirty years, in campaigns, a revival, that never happened, so the surplus did noting for them, those good years of Clinton, have nothing to do with their reality.
But that has not stopped Hillary Bill supporters from saying, we had a surpluses, when what they got was; downsizing, out sourcing, training foreigners, who went home with your job, crumbling factories, the Clinton years past them by, the Bush years were even more bitter pills pasting them by and too take, after being feared into voting for Bush’s, he never even, stop in middle and small town America again, Bush did fly over and say, wow, is that what Katrina’s did.
Well there are Katrina’s all over America. Bill Clinton had some great years, but to think and say, those good years, happened to all is not true and when those Clinton years didn’t happen for all and finally Obama get’s their voice out, a bunch of Hillary Bill, McCain supporters, tell them, your lying, you’re an elitists, your condescending, you small town, Middle Americans, you really prospered, don’t you remember the surplus’s, is the height of arrogance and absurdity and an out right insult to those who have had no voice about how they really feel, now since Obama came out to stand for a change in leaving some behind as America left some behind… in… Katrina some have nothing but Clinton surplus year blinders on.
The Iraq conflict, NAFTA, Bosnia, Hillary voting against Guns repeatedly, Woman and kid dying Health story, Bill saying much the same thing years ago, Obama said and on and on, but it’s only about race for some Hillary Bill supporters, they believe how can you support Obama, he’s black and unproven insignificant, interloper, Hillary and Bill are proven commodities, there the only answer for you black people, you just want to be victims and how is it your churches are saying what Rev. Wright said, in his SERMONS, (not one has listen to the whole sermons, I advise you to keep your mouths off of God’s Ministers), lump us all together, America has two different histories, when it comes to black America and that is, Many believe white history is the right and only history and black history is wrong, we will keep telling America the truth and when you finally realize the two histories are not the same, may perhaps we can have a conversation, absent white demands, that black people, first not believe what white’s don’t believe happened.
Let’s talk.

Here’s a link to the inner city violence that is ravaging Obama’s own backyard. Talk about the pot calling the kettle, violence, church, its all there. More than 20 kids have been killed going to and from school in Chicago’s inner city neighborhoods. Whats Obama done to help that except attend the church that promotes anger and violence as a means to rile up more anger while Obama works with and promotes the corrupt developers (Rezko and Co.) that have stolen the money that was supposed to provide the low cost housing that these people need. Here’s Anderson Cooper’s report:
http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2008/04/08/more-children-killed-more-children-changing-the-world/

Emily, do you think that if GHBush has signed the first round of NAFTA then Bill must have signed it automatically as elected president? What a narrow mind. Bill has taken his roles and responsiblities and signed NAFTA and has shipped jobs overseas and Hill was supporting him very actively, therefore OHIO, PEN ,NC,MI, SD,TX have now their jobs, gone, and Obama wants to get these back and make sure the middle class is up and running again. Obama has not received 800 000 from the Colombian government to promote SAFTA-Colombia, but Bill-Hill-Penn, America wake-up and make a difference between leaders who love you and leaders who want to use you for their benefit and bank account. Hillary the Bosnian General is unelectable. Period. God bless America and God bless Obama.OBAMA08.

As we speak, Obama’s small army is re-framing what he said. Pretty myopic, aren’t you?

This all is a useless, polarizing waste of energy and time. Hillary drones will believe and say anything, so I’ll leave you too your dreams, the one good thing about a dream is you wake up.
Unless your programmed by the past history and you must conform to that past. Look to the future, turn the freaking page and get on with life, being afraid to move on and believe in your selves is scary stuff, if your uses to being told what you believe, get a spine, stand up and allow others to have their voice, instead of parroting lies, endlessly, wishing for the past to return, those good old Clinton years are gone, let them rest and get on with the future.
Clinton’s are haters and will hate as good as they have been hated, I don’t want them near power again, or Bush/McCain symbot’s. Instead of staying with your Clinton safe food, try moving out from under their telling you what your solutions is and what they have to give you, try a seat at the table and speak for your self, but be careful, some of the people at the table will be feeling scared there self’s, they been left out of successive administrations and never sat a table, or had a voice.
Stop waiting for Hillary and Bill to tell you the answers, what do you think and say, remember the other Americans, might want their voices heard and not be willing, to be told what the solutions are.
Scary stuff thinking for yourself.

Okay, the bill and hill show finally has something to talk about again. Better stay away from the “elitist” criticism though- the big old multi-millionaire pot calling the kettle black. Whoops, I forgot they already did that to explain why Obama’s “luck” in South Carolina and everywhere else. How many urban communities or rural ones for that matter have Bill and Hillary stooped down to help at the community level. This is an argument they can only look silly making.

It amazes me that people still make excuses for Barack Obama. I also think its funny that he claims to be a uniter, but if you look at the record, really has not worked across the isle much while in the Senate. Hillary Clinton has worked with many republicans on many issues while in the Senate. I am just glad that I am not fooled by Obama, because he is a good talker and nothing more. I cringe as a Democrat at the thought of Obama going against McCain. He helps pass one bill in the U.S. Senate, and he thinks he is qualified to be President of The United States. Obama can’t even have one Hearing on Afghanistan, to which he is the chairman of that committee. I see nothing special about Obama, just another politician who tells you what you want to hear, and like I said before, I am so glad that I have not fallen for it.

Hillary is just so smart how could you not like her.

Hillary is terrible. How could she claim being on the side of the american workers when leaders in her team are currently working against the american people interest. Guest what, Penn is not gone from the team he is still a lead player in her campain. The idea of conflict of interest is real but only in conflict with Hillary attempt to get the nomination. to her he is not in conflict with the american interest.
If she is really honest she should have fired him not hiding him from the public.

Claire,
I don’t engage in those kinds of antics, I follow a code of ethics. Either you pulled that stunt yourself and then went schizoid on us, or some other joker did it, and in that case it happens to the best of us (happens to me all the time, although less often now since I started sniffing out IPs of the perpetrators.

Leche, sus palabras son iguales guano

Bill Clinton said something very similar to what Obama said and it was printed in The LA Times in 1991, “You know, he [Bush] wants to divide us over race. I’m from the South. I understand this. This quota deal they’re gonna pull in the next election is the same old scam they’ve been pulling on us for decade after decade after decade. When their economic policies fail, when the country’s coming apart rather than coming together, what do they do? They find the most economically insecure white men and scare the living daylights out of them. They know if they can keep us looking at each other across a racial divide, if I can look at Bobby Rush and think, Bobby wants my job, my promotion, then neither of us can look at George Bush and say, ‘What happened to everybody’s job? What happened to everybody’s income? What … have … you … done … to … our … country?’”

Moeen,
I think you mean to say liar. A lier would be someone that is lying down. As far as I can tell Hillary is standing up. She stands up for America. She stands up for all voters. She stands up for Democrats. She stands up for the people in small towns all across America.
========================================
Obama, he just needs to lie down and take a deep breath for awhile!
Obama, did you jump the shark?
========================================

@westcoastmessenger
you said:
“Garett,
New Yorker is the only person to make a thoughtful comment? You must be one of those small-minded bitter people that Obama was referring to. Good thing you have New Yorker to think for you, sitting over in a corner, clutching a gun, reading your Bible, and trembling, waiting for Obama to save us.”
thanks for proving my point.
Im small minded, you just accused me, obviously w/o reading any of my prior comments of a whole host of things that if you were indeed intelligent enough to read back…you would see how incredibly stupid you look.
New Yorker does my thinking for me?
not only that but i defended both candidates in my post so why would you assume im an obama supporter? and why am i clutching a bible and a gun? do those things automatically go together, who’s small minded? you are, you self righteous douchebag. People like you are what this administration counts on…congrats. unlike you, i dont wait for anyone to save me, so clutch your idiocy and wait for…well…nothing will happen because you are too ignorant to think outside of your little world.

I just watched him live on CNN. He just reminded me of a really BAD actor stumbling over his words, saying “uh….uh….uh…..” and trying to remember his lines.
This guy is a joke.
God bless Hillary. HILLARY ‘08!

Zorro was right. I too have fears of Obama as I did when Bush Jr. was running for the second term. The younger are falling for Obamas smooth talk of change and his charisma, be it may,just as the evangelicals fell for Bush being such a good Christian. And look what we got! It was also interesting to hear Obama mention the people from the small towns being so frustrated because of all the changes being thrown at them so fast. I wonder how frustrated his changes will make them??????? As isn’t he all about change? Also let’s not forget about the economy when Clinton was President and our country being totally out of debt. Also he has travelled the world fighting aides, worked on raising money for New Orleans and other world wide charities. Despite of the money they have made, they have always been for the blacks only to have them completely desert them for another black. I also worked on preservation and in l998 he enacted some good preservation laws only to have them all done away with after Bush came in. We are voting for The President of the United States here and I sincerely feel the Clintons reflect thru their past continued work in this country far more qualified and concerned about everyone than Obama. Problem is, they have been so scrutinized by the Republicans and people have dragged all the personal stuff thru the mill. I often wonder if the ones who are still hounding about Bill’s affair would be able to cast any stones themselves if they would be honest with themselves? My Mother always said when we did name calling “It takes one to know one”.

PUTIN IS ON THE PHONE? TELL THAT BRO TO WAIT A MINUTE, UNTIL I CAN STOP STUTTERING. WHAT? NUCLEAR MISSLES HEADED THIS WAY? TELL HIM I HAVE A PLAN FOR HOPE AND CHANGE, AND I’LL GET BACK TO HIM AS SOON AS I FIGURE IT OUT!

Obama, you are a smooth talker alright, but every idea you put forward, you have stolen from Hillary. The truth is you are an arrogant cheating liar, a con man! http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/index.html
You are most definatly unfit to be President!
HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!!

Is it elitist to suggest that poverty leads to gun violence? Is it elitist to suggest that anger leads to angry forms of religion? Is it elitist to suggest that socio-economic marginalization leads to political apathy?
If it is elitism to speak the truth as you see it than call me an elitist too! Obama didn’t say that ONLY angry people believe in God or that ONLY angry people own guns. Obama is religious himself for crying out loud. Clinton is trying to twist this so that she can appear to be the poor man’s candidate. I don’t think her and Bill’s $109 million will make that a real possibility. But who knows…those who’ve been denied access to information/education do make bad decisions at times. (Is it elitist to say that too?)

Memory lane. On front page of HuffPo.
Bill Clinton Flashback: “All These Economically Insecure White People…Are Scared To Death”
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/13/bill-clinton-flashback-al_n_96433.html
“The reason (George H. W. Bush’s tactic) works so well now is that you have all these economically insecure white people who are scared to death,” Clinton was quoted saying by the Los Angeles Times in September 1991.

Who gets bashed the most, GW Bush or Bill Clinton? Why are people such disrespectful bullies?
Clinton strived for fiscal responsibility and it worked with most of the 90′s being prosperous. My standard of living increased and I was able to buy a house at a good price.
What Bill Clinton did with Monica is his own personal business. The public has heard about it so many times it is only going in one ear and out the other. Old news!
A very good asset.

WestCoastMessenger,
Oh who cares who you support. Get away from us. You drunkard, WestCoastMessenger. Stupid idiot posts incoherent messages about who he does or does not support. Did you realize how much this means to us? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!

Look, everyrhing Obama and his emissaries have said is a fairly audacious lie that ignores the fact it was passed by HW, it’s defects were adressesd in the side agreements, and W just shitcanned the labor and environmental considerations. Fact is, Obama knows this for a fact, as do his press acolytes, but it doesn’t stop them from milling disinformation. If you think that’s OK, then admit he’s not the Guiding Light. What a stupendous crock and what morons for voters.
Look, if you’re too stupid or ill-informed to know what really happened about NAFTA, or if you are just obtuse in the way of Olbermann and Sirota in blind allegiance to Obama, just shut the hell up. Stop repeating drivel or stop lying outright. Take your pick. Stupid, mendacious. Try the real world..

A very unpleasant vision motivate me to do this comment. After reading the latest remarks from Obama, I got chills down my spine. Started asking myself why he has said what he said. I came up with this conclusion, He was trying to win more votes. But I don’t think it is fair to used a rethoric about peoples desperation of lossing their jobs. Touching a nerve to insight anger, frustration, fear, and peoples weaknesses. It seems that Obama is playing a game with American people. Digging into their emotion to stir a ripple effect of Hate and to trigger a feeling of self pity and Hopelessnes. When analyzing the motive of this kind of talk, It looks like Obama was driving a wedge between the people and the Government Administration. He was trying to instill Hatered and inflamed feelings of resentment to which, will end into an infuse Revolt among the people. Obama was acting like an activist with this kind of behavior. I hope, He is not inspiring his followers and supporters to start a demonstration, a riot or a revolution to get in to the White House. I don’t think, He is what the media has portrayed him. We don’t really know him, and what he will do with our country, if he get to win the General Election. This is a very Scary Situation. Lord, Bless America and Protect us from a person who has a
twisted Plan against America.

Well said JackSmith!
Obama may have rehearsed his chapter and verse on CNN, he had his answers lined up too, but only because he had the opportunity to listen to Hillary first. The man is nothing but a liar and a cheat http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barack_Obama_and_campaign_contributor_Antoin_%22Tony%22_Rezko
He is sponsored by crooks who are hoping for a pay-back time.
Hillary has the solutions and the experience…Obama is simply rhetoric, personified, wrapped up in a smile, who mixes with deceivers and bigotted believers, like Rezko and Wright.
Give in now Bwark! “Your chickens are coming home to roost”.
GO HILLARY!!!!!!!

I believe the thing that most Americans are missing is that for once A BLACK person is standing for elections and it would only be fair to say lets give him the seat and see what he can do.
I lived in the USA and I know that there are a lot of BITTER, FRUSTRATED people living in America because they are disenfranchised by what subsequent governments that have come into power.
It is not about America being stronger than every one but rather America recognizing that you have to treat others with respect too.
Slavery happened and only a fool would say to not talk about it is okay, you have to admit that what happened was demeaning and the most humiliating thing that could be done to a fellow human being.
Obama is MA enough to face and confront this things squarely, is that wrong? Only some sniveling dimwit would suggest what us being suggested that he is out of touch with the people he talked about.
It is so sad that there are hierarchies in everything we do in the world and it is not condescending to talk about these issues candidly.
When people lack ideas they talk about people and little things that do not matter. The clintons are wanting for ideas and Americans have to recognize that greed for power that glints in there eyes that is making them delirious and oblivious of the pitfall of electing a tired power hungry candidate like hillary rodham clinton as America’s President.
SHAME ON YOU AMERICANS!!!!! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!!!

THIS JUST IN: “WE NEED MORE DUMB PEOPLE”
OBAMA IS FORMING THE BACKDROP FOR HIS NOVEMBER ASPIRATIONS: 5 YELLOW PEOPLE, 4 BROWN PEOPLE, 20 WHITE PEOPLE, 1 BLACK PERSON, 4 GREEN PEOPLE, 20 PURPLE PEOPLE AND 55 “MILLION” DUMB PEOPLE REQUIRED.
THE OBAMA COMMITTEE WILL MOVE PEOPLE AROUND FROM WHERE THEY WERE SITTING TO HAVE MORE “DUMB” PEOPLE IN THE FRONT ROW, SITTING DIRECTLY BEHIND OBAMA, TO CHEER HIM ON.
OBAMA, MICHELLE, PELOSI, DEAN, REID, KENNEDY, KERRY AND JEREMIAH WRIGHT ARE STUCK ON STUPID!
DON’T YOU JUST LOVE IT!
HILLARY 2008!

The Tanzanian: I don’t know where you got the idea that Obama is black. You don’t know your history too well. Obama is Mulatto. When a black man marries a white woman their children are called Mulatto’s. That name has been around for a long period of time. The blacks don’t us it anymore but it exists and it used to be on applications for employment back in time. The battleground states that Hillary won did not want Obama as president that’s why they didn’t give him the vote. Those white people were smart, the whites in MN and WI were dumb. White people should vote for their own like blacks vote for their own. But most of this generation of youth feel that Obama is in their league because he took drugs and booze like they do today.

AMAZING! When Ed Rendell states that some of the WHITE folks in his own state stil harbor racist feelings and that they WON’T vote for a black president because of race, or when BILLY BOY uses tems like some have previously mentioned “economically insecure WHITE MEN,” this is okay???!!!!! If you look at the entire context of the comments Obama made he was making a very valid point about how the “working class” folk feel shafted, and how his oratory on “change” just doesn’t resonate, and why! Man, Dems when this is over McCain will have a huge grin on his face. OBAMA folks will NOT vote for Hillary and vice versa. THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE PRETTY!

Posted by: Emily,
The point IS Emily, Bill was behind it too!!! And, Hillary helped to puch the idea. They could have both been against it but that has not been proven. Bill should have and could have done something about the bill……And Hillary should not have BALD faced lied about her involvement.
You aren’t so smart or bright yourself. In fact, you should practice your own analytical skills before you go bashing someone.
Just another ignorant Hillary supporter. You are the one that sounds bitter. Fruit loop.
