Blue Collar Obama

I am not buying and I hope no other american will buy anything obama is peddling now.
he is just a politician, and will do and say anything to get elected.
he has had the msm in his back pocket doing his bidding and spinning
he has had all of the money.
and he has had black people voting blindly for him
he has had everything going for him
except good judgement
rev. wright
he now cannot reject rev. wright because
the black community will see him as a sellout and traitor.
he will lose their votes.
and it seem to be shaping up if he does not reject wright completely he will lose the white vote
so it may not matter if he puts on overall, a straw hat, and starts carrying string beans for money.
the uniter has some problems
wright now it is all about him
most black churches do not preach what wright preaches.
if you want someone who will help level the playing field for you
go with sen. clinton.
if you hate her
just hold your nose and vote for her.
your wallet will thank you later

Would the real Obama please stand up.

if he wins now
we lose in nov.
if he wins in nov.
we lose over the next four years
but make no mistake about it
he will not win in nov.

We can’t be hung up in Obama’s lose ends we are at war and have many social problems but if all he wants to do is live in the past like his pastor then we are in trouble.

I second……”Will the real Obama please stand up.”
Hillary “08

and will do and say anything to get elected.
just like hillary and mccain?
he has all the money.
hillary has more money in her personal account!
he has black people that vote for him blindly.
just the the female vote for hillary?
he has everything going for him but good judgement.
like hillary’s screw em, or her hypocritical talks and her lies like bosnia?
lots of people do hate her and not because someone she knows said something nasty its her that people hate!!!
and its hypocrites that slam obama for something like rev. wright and then ask you to vote for some one who has broke laws she is suppose to stand behind!

He needs to drop out he can’t win look at the ads the republicans are now playing using this. Were is the leadership in this party now they are hiding nothing new with that.

don’t hate to tell me.
if clinton is a rep.
I guess this dem is voting rep.
and I don’t mind telling you
there are a lot of clinton supporters just like me.
we could go on like this back and forth all night.
If obama does not reject this man wright and show he can fight for this nomination-the unpledged del will not go with him
the unpledged delegates will not care about what the pundits are saying about the black people feeling the election was stolen from him
the unpledged delegates want to win,period.
obama cannot reject rev. wright-he will be seen as a sellout-and traitor and he will lose the black vote.
if he does not reject wright completely
he will lose the white vote.
he wants mi and fl to be punished
so we will go into the convention with a 48 star flag instead of 50
obama only copies sen. clintons plans
if he wins
we lose.
he will not win.

Hillary may have reinvented herself over time. But she has one thing obama doesnt have a record to fall back on. He has nothing but his judgement, which is not looking very good right now. rezko, wright, ayers and etc…..

It’s an outrage that Obama’s again peddling the bogus “single mom” tale — and that this time, she’s a “teen” mom (she must have been still nineteen when he was born).
In fact, Obama’s hell on REAL
“single moms” — he embraces Bill Clinton’s “welfare reform” that functionally orphaned underclass children in order to turn their mothers over for minimum-wage “jobs”.
Interesting to see that in the speech video, to illustrate the phrase “get a handle”, the candidate made a half-hearted “power” fist.
He is an absolute charlatan.

: toby,
who’s her husbands? only the good stuff- she wont admit that she asked military men not to look at her when they went down the hall and passed her !
or maybe your talking about her health care reform that was a crash!! or the people that she chose for the white house that was a no go ? or as a senator and lost jobs for buffalo? what about her is so great?

Melissa
her failed healthcare plan shows that she did put the work in to something. He has nothing to hold up as his own. and he’s running for president.

jgaw ,
all senators have helped some people, i live in NY i know enough about hillary thanks.. i bet if you were shown proof of the people she has hurt you wouldn’t believe! how about the people from the traveling office? and she didnt just re-invent herself over time she pays people to find out how she can make herself more electable big difference and i guess it was money well spent cause you all are fooled! the fact is most people didnt like her and that cost bill the first chance at being gov, and they were worried about it when it came to him being prez she had more rules than him they spent more time and money getting people to swallow her than him!!!

obama DOES NOT have a record on anything that he has fought for.
Now he told us to look at his good judgement instead of experience. Now we find out he doesnt have good judgement either now. rezko, wright, ayers and etc….

the reason
the independents are looking past obama now and looking to Hillary. She has details and plans to help the economy.

No I’m not saying vote for her because she has failed at healthcare. Im saying vote for her because after failure she now know what to do to fight and get things passed now. compromise..

toby,
once again your wrong! he has done good things..like his bills on lead paint tainted toys that hillary co-sponsored.. i have a list if you would like them?

The “Good Rev.” said it best, “chickens coming home to roost” ironic that quote applies to the “Agent of change” now. Indiana is looking pretty sweet now for Hillary and N.C. just may be in reach. Obama could shoot a gun while reading the bible right now and nobody is going to buy it.

toby ,
first of all when has hillary ever learned from her mistakes i mean she gets caught at a lie and keeps right on going! i will not vote for mccain but if its a choice between obama and clinton not a chance in — i would vote for her…

we arent talking 1,000 we are talking millions of dollars … and a increase in “donors” right before hillary announced she was running for prez!

Obama’s mother and food stamps?
Joe Klein interview with Obama, October 15, 2006 edition of Time Magazine Obama claimed:
“I was going to a fancy prep school, and my mother was on food stamps while she was getting her Ph.D.”
Barack Obama’s mother sent him home from Indonesia to Hawaii where he lived with his grandparents while attending the most elite prep school on the islands. His grandmother was a bank vice-president.
If mother were on food stamps, it was not while Obama was in prep school that I can see.
Perhaps he is confused. The only time I can see them qualifying is when he was quite young before her remarriage.
I think this is Obama’s poor attempt at pandering to the working class voter. Not a good attempt, IMHO.

melissa,
what will you do with all the hate you have toward sen. clinton when this is over?
what will you do?

The opposition to barack obama in this campaign comes down to one thing: the majority (not all) of white people are by intuition racists. everything else is an excuse.

Robbie… Does Obama have a “black brain” or a “white brain”? I think we all know who the racist is, “the Good Rev.” Anything else is a excuse!

you must be independently wealthy,
living in ny,
but while you have been blinded by your hate for sen. clinton
some of us working class folks have been paying attention to the issues,
obama has no real plan for helping us.
I have read all of it. from his website from the newspapers in my town that have
put all candidates plans up side by side.
sen. clinton has the best plan to help the us. no matter how much you hate her.
that fact will not change.
it looks like obama will not have the stomach or the will to be POTUS.
the dems. need to get back in the white ohouse-not for sen. clintons sake but for the american peoples sake.
so with you wealth-you will not have to worry about the healthcare,college, and economy, some of us do.
and sen. clinton is the one.
I am sure she will lose all of the votes like yours-but there are enough right thinking people out there that will think about the real problems and cshe will get enough votes to put her
in.
and once again, no worry, the people who need a good president to work for them-will vote for her.

jgaw ,
were you talking to me?

I believe that the republican party will come out in droves if hillary is the nominee.
Bill Clinton is the reason we got George Bush, and he disgraced the white house. Its funny how most people don’t look at it this way, but we vote our president into office, and he has the opportunity to live in the white house, so that house is really OUR house. So who gave Bill Clinton permission to disgrace OUR house? And why are we the people willing to give him the opportunity to go BACK into the white house? I don’t believe he deserves to go back, as he had his chance to make a difference and he did what was important to him, not for the people.
Republicans hate the Clintons. Hillary is unelectable. And if you believe that she is then you are looking through rose colored glasses. I don’t care how many of you vote for her, there will be more voting against her.
And remember she won’t win the independents. They go to McCain or Obama.

Obama said his mother had him when she was a teenager what age was the 14, 15, or sweet 16.
It was more like 18/19 voting age, if you are old enough to vote I don’t think you should be considered a teenager still.

SJ ,
well thats why they call it nine-TEEN and eight-TEEN

If Obama’s mother was in food stamps it was because she prefered to have a secon career an go to school instead of working, which is great, but is not strgling or being poor, it was for convenience. The same way Obama sold favors to Rezko and Blackwell. for convenience.

hey we all have tales of misfortune. we all have experienced racism. i have never used my ethnicity as an excuse, or as a marketing tool. God knows that as a Hispanic/jicarilla apache we have and do suffer unspeakable racism/cruelty/and inhumane treatment.
i heard a beautiful story once told to me as a child by an elder, it goes like this. a white man approached an elder and said don’t you hate the white man for stealing the land? the elder said, they didn’t steal the land look (as he waved his hand) there it is. from that story i learned that the only thing that i can control is the way i choose to interpret my world and my life. my misfortunes can either be my undoing, or the sum of who i am. “to thine own self be true’. mr. obama needs time before he can be a great leader. these are tests of his strength, his wisdom, and his judgement. and in the end only he can decide either to follow the call of his church, or the call of his nation. it does not seem that he can embrace both. the decision will tell us much about the man.

Obama’s mother never strugled. She was a Phd in anthropology and was not a single mother but for a couple of years. Obama again is lying and making light of what really is to strugle.

What is convenience is to use food stamps when you already have a degree and could work for a good wage. Sehe went to school for a Phd. She was not a single mother. After Obama’s father left, she married an Indonesian oil exec.

sonia trevino ,
very nice story, but if your looking at it as WHO you have to chose from and not is that one person perfect -and none of us are- then you might want to re-think the he is the one that isnt right for the job and the choice he needs to make.. clearly you have to admit that hillary has not only took things that didnt belong to her in the white house , lied, committed crimes, messed up about every big job she took on in the white house and the senate but says the best thing she has going for her is she doesnt stop fighting and talking crap – a bush trait- but she failed to tell people that in the senate she refused to fight for the child defense fund because she said it wouldnt fly! yea she wasnt in the mood to fight i guess and it wasnt even a big deal they wanted to pass a bill that would add 1 out of every seven children covered to 2 out of 7 children…

DNC has to recognize that Obama is unelectable. He already disenfranchised blue collar workers, rural workers and hispanics. He associates with radicals that hate America and he has exchanged favors as Senator in exchange for land and money. There is no chance he can win the general election. All attcks on Hillary have been done for 17 years and she is still standing working for all Americans and has the passion for this Country that Obama lacks.

No one seems to care that Hillary out and out lied about Bosnia. It made a good story until she got caught in her lie, and then she said she “misspoke.” No, she lied.
I like Obama. He seems like a truthful, and dedicated man who just wants to make a positive difference.

In my most humble opinion, it appears as though Rev. Wright and the Michigan branch of the NAACP are on Hillary Clinton’s side. They are out to make Obama look bad, and they are doing a really good job.
They want Hillary to win.
They need Hillary to win.
They loved the Clinton years.
So, Rev. Wright, the Michigan branch of the NAACP, and most people of Michigan want Hillary to win. So watch this, as May 6 approaches, Rev Wright’s comments and appearances will intensify. Obama will look bad, voters to loose trust, and Hillary will come out smelling like roses.
In addition, Rev Wright is making all of the church leaders and preachers of all RACES look really, really bad. Now that’s sad!!!!
btw…REV. WRIGHT DOES NOT REPRESENT THE BLACK CHURCH.

Why nobody knows his background entirely?
Now, he even said his mother was a teenager when she had him.
The truth nobody knows about everything he said.

Anyone notice that he’s been taking off his jacket and even removing the tie more often to shed the elitist look?
Will it work???

Jake,
I watched your piece on Obama on the news last night.
It was EXCELLENT!

Obama’s mother was in college when she met his dad.
He went to all private schools, that cost money to attend.
Poor Poor barrak Obama

Does Obama think that by rolling his shirt sleeves he is going to connect with the blue collar workers? Does he think that he is going to connect with people worried about bread and butter, complaining about the price of arugula in the whole foods market? Obama is out of touch and he is arrogant.

oh, please, he lies about his background. he remembers his white relatives when he’s in kansas and his black relatives when he’s in south carolina, he talks about patching his suits, which anyone with the slightest brain knows is bull. probably $2,000 plus suits anyway. how much crap does this guy have to throw our way before someone throws it back at him?

Obama now decides to connect with the common man by lowering his standards how nice. It amazes me when I see people defend him. I’m black and I don’t of many African Americans that as a child lived in the Middle East. Nor do I know of many African Americans that were raised by their white grandparents in Hawaii…How in the world could this man EVER relate to the Black Americans plight.. He’s never experienced it.

This are the moments and times when his campaign is at it’s worse, when he puts on a show to achieve acceptance. If tomorrow he found he were losing the rich mans vote would he then revert back to their messenger of hope?

It seems odd that both McCain and Clinton and the Media are jumping on Obama. This tells me he is the best candidate because if he wasn’t they wouldn’t be fighting to bring him down. Thank goodness their are thinkers and not just sheep to follow whatever is said. The very candidates pounding him have a lot of negative baggage which everyone knows about and has been duly taken into account.

Sal, it is Wright who has jumped on Obama not the other candidates and the media is playing along…it is about time people look into what baggage Sen. Obama may or may not have-better to know now than later

This whole Wright thing is plain stupid. Can the media start investigating McCain and Hillary’s pastors too and what they have said about Black folks and slavery and Jim Crow. Thank you.

If attending private school and not public school makes you an Elistist then I am an elitist, Clinton and McCain, Bush etc. are also Elistist along with Obama. If that name sticks to him it also sticks to them Big time. They aren’t fooling me because 70% of America are then Elitist for attending private school, yale, havard, cornell. What a lame argument.

I’m sick of Obama’s lies; they’re a slap in the face to every American who was truly raised in poor conditions.
Obama had two parents until the age of 3 when his father left; his mother remarried a couple years later and for 5 years he lived in Indonesia with his mother and stepfather. At the age of 10, he went to live with his grandparents in Hawaii and attended a private school whose current tuition is approx. $15,000 per year. By my calculations that makes just two years being raised by a single mother and grandparents who may not have been wealthy but could hardly be called destitute. I guess his true story isn’t common enough for the typical white person (or for that matter most black people) to identify with.
This can be easily fact checked should the media care to – which they don’t. We on the internet know all about the Kennedy Africa airlift lie and the Selma lie which were told for the sole purpose of connecting Obama with JFK and Martin Luther King, Jr.
I’m sick of Obama playing the “poor me” card. It’s second only to the race card he’s so fond of pulling out to suit his needs. He is one twisted individual and certainly not anyone I want in charge of our country.

Senator Obama an elitist? American politics has resorted to characterizations and his character defined by sound bites, which by the way were said by someone else. However, Rev. Wright spoke the truth and it only hurts because it’s the truth. What a nation! Can someone come up with characterizations for Senator McCain and Clinton?

Only Obama the elitist would equate jello and mashed potatoes with being common folk. What a condesending remark.

Why do so many psoters continue to repeat lies after they’ve been pointed out time and time again?
Obama was on SCHOLARSHIP at his school in Hawaii, and his grandmother still lives in the small two-bedroom apartment they all lived in back then. Obama paid for college and law school with scholarships and student loans. That’s wealthy?! Stop spreading your lies – you know better.
Obama still has the vision for America he had in 1993:
All this ooh! ooh! we don’t really know him! garbage is just that – garbage. Throw it out. Let’s focus on the facts and truth.

When Barack Obama choose Rev. Wright and his church, it was because the church was the largest in the area and this selection was used for political needs. Get to know the people and then get them to support him in his political ambitions. Obama also allowed Tony Rezko, the fixer, to help as well as Bill Ayers. To me, Senator Obama is a user of people for political status. He is arragant and looks down on certain groups of people and those who do not support him. He has proven nothing except he is a big talker and a big spender. That does not make him presidential material.
Vote for Clinton or McCain. They are proven.

The only reason Senator Obamo has to address this issue is for narrow minded American’s who really don’t know or care about the true history of this nation or our cultural differences? If you actually studied beyond your basic history, you might understand the difficulties that every race has experienced in this country. I challenge everyone to listen to Rev. Wright’s entire sermon and not just the sound bites.

Martin…. I don’t have to listen to Rev. Wrights current sermons I’ve heard tapes of him for years. This man has never had a problem speaking his mind. In the black community we have known of Rev. Wright for years. I know pastors who fly to Chicago often to hear Wrights sermons. Some of them repeat them verbatim. He has preached the same message so, please what is your point.

Thank you.

magda,
I don’t believe growing up in America especially being of color is a privilege, at least I never felt that way. If something has changed please inform me. And since you what to attack one candidate, I’ll mention the others; look at Senator Clinton or Senator McCain they are definitely not in the average working class Americans tax bracket. So where can or do they relate to the average working class American? Oh their “Blue Collar”… Different way of saying “White”.
