Obama to Unions: I’m Ready To Play Offense

This is a double game that the HRC has going on now.
Hillary can’t win honestly due to the MATH. Everybody knows this. But if she admits it in public the donor base will go elsewhere. Cash dries up. SupaDelegates will go over to O.
So she has to at least pretend the can win the nomination legitimately.

“Imagine a president whose life’s story is like so many of your own, who knows what it’s like to go to college on student loans or see his mother sick and worry that maybe she can’t pay the medical bills,”
That IS a life like my own. Now am I qualified to the be the president and commander and chief?
I don’t think so.
Specifics, Obama. Just how will you improve the positions of the unions? Will you change the laws regarding at-will rights to work to stop the bleeding of computer science jobs overseas? Will you support unionization of the software industry?
Or is this speech only for blue collar workers? I’ve been both. So fine, what will you do about the rising cost of fuel for the nation’s truckers?
As Vice President, you would preside over the Senate and that means you would have the power to get some real legislation passed.
Specifics, Obama. I don’t give a flying frik that you play a good game of hoops or that you embarassed yourself because a bowling ball can’t be dribbled.

Obama told the union members that he is one of them just like he told a group of Irish people on St. Patrick’s Day, that he is Irish, and he keeps pushing his mother was white, his father was black, or when he was in Hawaii, he spoke of them as brothers and on and on. He is everyone’s candidate and the last time this was tried was Hitler who told all of the MANY enthusiastic followers that he was just one of them too. How quickly we forget. His church ties and their philosophy that has enthralled him for some 20 years to make the black race superior by destroying the white race is a pretty similar analogy too.

Tell me what part of the Obama life story (the one that he’s willing to share that is) that resonates with working class people in Pennsylvania or elsewhere. The part that has maintained a 20 year relationship with an anti-american, racist minister? The part that has his wife only recently proud to be an american – and only when her inexperienced, untested husband is on the national stage? The part that is willing to destroy the Democratic Party with the complicity of the far left wing of the DNC? Tell me, Mr. Obama,which of your many faces would the public see if – God forbid – you won the election?

Hilly is fighting for her life….She is for herself and her self only If you think for one minute she gives a hoot for the middle class and poor people you are sadly mistakened…She will do and say ANYTHING to get in the White House.So if you are nuts enough to vote for her go for it.Later in her term I will be the one saying I told you so……Then it is to late…..

TCG,
The only people that know Hillary can’t win are you and Obama, you guys are way smarter than us working class Democrats who haven’t figured that out yet, so we keep voting for her. Otherwise, why hasn’t Obama been able to close the deal? Check out Michael Barone’s projections, which are just basic projections, which shows Hillary prevails in the popular vote nationally by the end game. (That’s without Michigan and Florida). There will be plenty of spin basis to get the supers moved in her corner. I can see the county level maps coming out now showing gray territory for Obama and blue territory for Clinton, showing that she took 90 per cent of the county geography. We shall see, we shall see.
As a well-committed rabbit, you have plenty of time to take a nap between now and August. Don’t worry about Hillary, nothing to worry about. Feel free to take that nap.

Barack has started out as the under dog .. But his message will carry through til april 22 .

Obama always speaks in the name of every American by using the word we. He doesn’t say I CAN but WE CAN. That is one of the most amazing thing I like about him. Whereas Hillary says I CAN.

The real Obama DID stand up when in ’95 he helped organize the Million Man March with his best pal Louis Farrakhan.
America says No Thanks!

Did he mean corporate lobbyists as in the NUCLEAR/ENERGY areas? He has a telling record on that. Look it up! Did he mean UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE as in his plan that does not cover everyone? Look at how the experts compared his plan with Hillary’s plan and John Edwards’ plan. Does he mean that only he had to obtain student loans? He tries to scoot Hillary out of the way on the issues, and he just can’t do it. She is the one who has fought for workers’ rights and labor laws, childcare, education, and healthcare for families. He is a spinner with rhetorical generalities. Look at their records and compare them. Hillary wins, hands down.

The Washington Post Fact Checker section catches Obama in another example of him embellishing his and his family’s history:
Addressing civil rights activists in Selma, Ala., a year ago, Sen. Barack Obama traced his “very existence” to the generosity of the Kennedy family, which he said paid for his Kenyan father to travel to America on a student scholarship and thus meet his Kansan mother.
The Camelot connection has become part of the mythology surrounding Obama’s bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. After Caroline Kennedy endorsed his candidacy in January, Newsweek commentator Jonathan Alter reported that she had been struck by the extraordinary way in which “history replays itself” and by how “two generations of two families — separated by distance, culture and wealth — can intersect in strange and wonderful ways.”
It is a touching story — but the key details are either untrue or grossly oversimplified.
Contrary to Obama’s claims in speeches in January at American University and in Selma last year, the Kennedy family did not provide the funding for a September 1959 airlift of 81 Kenyan students to the United States that included Obama’s father. According to historical records and interviews with participants, the Kennedys were first approached for support for the program nearly a year later, in July 1960. The family responded with a $100,000 donation, most of which went to pay for a second airlift in September 1960.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton acknowledged yesterday that the senator from Illinois had erred in crediting the Kennedy family with a role in his father’s arrival in the United States. He said the Kennedy involvement in the Kenya student program apparently “started 48 years ago, not 49 years ago as Obama has mistakenly suggested in the past.”

I don’t think Obama will be traveling In Pennsylvania or elsewhere with one of his earlier surrogates, Deval Patrick, Governor of Massachusetts. He’s going down the tubes fast. Even the Boston Globe, so in the tank for Obama and Patrick until recently have lost patience with the guy who promised “hope”, “change” and “Yes, we can. WELL, NO HE CAN’T!

No matter what happen everybody would vote for OBAMA but I think majority would definitely vote him in GE.

So, Barack Obama is a member of what union?
Barack Obama has paid dues and supported what local?
Barack Obama has worked in how many union jobs?
Barack Obama has walked the picket line in how many strikes?
Barack Obama has supported his family on strike benefits how many times?
Barack Obama has passed how much legislation in the United States Senate (not the Illinois legislature) that is favorable to union workers?
As a 34-year, dues paying union member, I find no credibility or assurance in any of the hollow statements made by Barack Obama in his effort to bolster his image in Pennsylvania.
In fact, his statements are without substance and provide no indication of what he would actually do to help union members or their families.
Typical of Obama gibberish and hype, and not what we need in the White House.

What polls are we supposed to be looking at? Should we look at Pennsylvania, or Kentucky, or Inidiana? Or should we look at the recent polls that show that Hillary is doing better against McCain in key states like Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. In fact one poll, showed where Obama would win DC, Hawaii, and Illinois against McCain. I think that comes out to about 15 electoral votes for Obama. It’s not quite as bad as McGovern, but almost. If Obama, gets the Democratic nomination, he will not win the GE. Thank God, the people are waking up, and seeing the “real” Obama. It’s not a pretty site.

Obama has made reference to a “typical white person” and how this group of people is “bred.”
Perhaps in that context, one can better understand the plight of the white working class.
If that doesn’t work, try the Jeremiah Wright version of America.

JAYHAWK,
You for-got too mention that
he voted PRESENT 100 TIMES!Thanks for
speaking for so many AMERICA, you know
your politics!!! WAKE UP AMERICA and
THINK,THINK HARD!!

Just in, Howard Dean is talking to Florida about seating the delegates. He said he is committed to finding a way to make sure they are seated. Latest being floated by Michigan is giving Hillary her votes and giving Obama the uncomitted votes. I think Obama has made a huge mistake by not allowing the re-votes to take place. He may end up being the big loser in both votes and good will with the people of these two states. Keep on fighting Hillary!!

I am growing fearful and dismayed. UNPRECEDENTED is the media who have bolstered OBAMA into this mythical character that HE IS NOT.
Let’s not be fooled! What is going on here????
HILLARY 2008

Unreal, if the hard-working men and women of PA actually believes that Obama
gets them and what it is to be a blue collar/ working class voter in this Country then there really is no hope.
This guy is the white-wine crowd 100%.
We need someone who get down into the grit, work hard, find solutions and has the feist to carry through on them.

Bo: At least she loves her country,and thats good enough for me!

Obama is hilarious
He tells everyone what the one to hear.
He acts like he is one of them and can relate to what they are going through.
What a Farce
So since he promised everyone, everything who are the ones who are going to be screwed?
probably the ones he called racist lol

Russell-TCG uses math for the “special education” children otherwise known as the Obama minions. Of course, thanks to the DNC “special math” no one can win without super delegates. And I hate super delegates. Get rid of that dumb anti-democratic bunch of morons. Why do they get TWO votes, once in their state and once in Denver, and the rest of us can only vote once?

Dogsolider: Only Democrats could devise a plan where at the conclusion no winner could be declared! The reason they came up this undemocratic plan was to over rule the masses,otherwise why are they there. You remember like the founding fathers did when they wrote the constitution and said that the House would be popularly elected but the Senate would be elected by the state legislatures, who were controlled by the wealthy and well connected! This was to be a buffer from what they called the passions of the masses. You see they were afraid of the people and so they created this check on their power! So this superdelegate thing is nothing new, except these old codgers never thought they would have to vote!

Russell-I can honestly see for the first time why the democratic party lose so many presidential elections. The democratic party can’t even run its own primary. What makes anyone think we can run an entire country? This DNC must be reshaped and reorganized and its policies more streamlined for the future. First get rid of Dean and this useless group of current leaders if you can call them that. Then fix the primary system where a person can actually win without super delegates.

What’s this theory that since Hillary has a little cash flow problem she is not fit to run the country! Well if that the criteria then that would exclude a majority of working americans riht now! In case you have not noticed there is a recession going on millions of people who work hard can’t pay the mortgage,fill up their cars, buy food or pay for health insurance. You see Hillary has experienced the pain that the rest of us are going through everyday and therfore has a unique prespective on how it affects ordinary people. Obama being of the class who does not have to struggle to make ends meet lacks that perspective and thus does not connect with working class americans. So instead of Hillary’s problems with making end meet being a liability I say that it makes her more qualified to know what the economic problems are and how to fix them.
Hiallary always fighting for working people, and working people always fighting for her!

guess what russell, anyone who is incapable of managing their campaign is not fit to be president and it’s apalling that you and others have no problem with it…

Politics is not a do or die Affair. The President to be should be chosen from GOD. Prayer is the key point and believe with GOD all things are possible.

Everyone,
Although I am glad we all have this opportunity to comment on issues concerning the candidates for POTUS I am saddened, as a citizen that the majority of the writings seem to be so sardonic and in some cases disparaging to leaders who are vying for the most important position in our country. Name calling and presuming guilt by association would demean most of us who so frequently offer opinions. As was professed by Jesus, “Let he without sin cast the first stone.” I ask that WE be more civil. With no intent to persuade anyone towards a religious belief I would offer that that simple anecdote would be one well taken by most contributors here.
