Why Can’t Obama Just Eat His Waffle? No, Seriously, Why? I Mean Really, for the Love of Pete!

If you can’t stand the heat…

Why is this even a story?
Let the man eat his waffle.

I wouldn’t discuss Hamas while having breakfast either.

USAToday Gallup poll that just came out today has Obama over Hillary by 10% and both candidates beating McCain.
Pretty good!

If the press can’t have access to Obama, he knows it’s less likely people will discover the true Obama. The true Obama is an inexperienced rookie politician.

The thing that i quetion is why do you think he wants to answer for everyone else all the time and why dont people ask the same questions of hillary or mccain? he is human and i would have been sick of it a long time ago ,, just because he is trying to be a nice guy and not play nasty people in my thoughts have been trying to see how far they can push him till he breaks! this is how we do things i guess when you try to do the right thing in politics we will try to break you down.. i understand they want a story just like the media with lady diane but at the cost to who?? all of us! for the love of god hillary can chose what she wants to talk about , chelsea can talk about what she wants to talk about and dont you dare ask bill something he thinks is negative because he will spit on you but this guy asked to be left alone to eat and the whole world implodes!!!! i will vote if obama gets the nod in but i tell you what if this doesnt stop i will never vote again! this is the reason i never have voted before or paid attention to politics cause it brings the worste out in people money and power and people act craZy, rude , shameless…

Obozo the clown needs to avoid details. His inability to handle them in the ABC debate leaves no doubt that he’s a stuttering clown if he’s forced to edge away from his carefully memorized script. Who really thinks for this guy anyway?

his inability? hillary chose what she wanted to answer and didnt want to answer but he looked bad? give me a break… why isnt some one asking her about mr.paul? the terrorist’s her husband gave a free pass to? the only person who has had to answer questions about other people is obama!

A waffler eating a waffle. Hysterical!
Rise, Hillary, Rise!’08

Poor baby. He wants to just eat his Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaffle. The guy can’t afford to let the press ask “tough” questions. His poll numbers might go down again.

WHY DIDNT PEOPLE SCREAM OUT LIKE THIS WHEN HILLARY REFUSED TO TALK ABOUT THINGS IN THE DEBATE?

S ,
im not saying that would be good but how would that justify other lives taken go in and take over the goverment but you dont kill the people in the country for what the gov. does, we arent liked by alot of countries and im sure alot of them felt it wasnt needed for us to go into iraq but i dont want them to kill all americans over it!

hasselblad
Preemptive? Read sometimes. She was talking about a case where Iran attacked Israel. Boy, some people just can’t comprehend.

s,
didnt you hear him say i wont ask you this question because you said you dont want to talk about it??? in a debate when he has to answer for everyone he knew she chose to opt out of questions! but she is the one who is strong.
the women failed on health care reform already her husband wants columbian trade and if you vote for her you give him a vote they are dirty and people close thier eyes and listen to her as though she tells the truth !!!

the thing about sniper fire came from her mouth not someone else, second of all her husband promised to stop the cleansing in bosnia and waited 4 years to do it then she acts like she is some hero for going in when its all over!! not the same thing at all!

Obama supporters, you guys are going to cry one day when you wake up and realize your obama has not brought you the change you want but disappointments and disasters that you have never thought about. Please cool down your passion and think deeply why you would believe a freshman in the senate that has never been tested could be elected and help solve so many crises that we are facing?

His withdrawl from the personal reporters the last 10 days and his cautious delivery on the debate tell me one thing.
He has realized Hillary is just trying to win 2012 by making him electable in 2008, wasting his $$$ and focus – and so he is going to cruise somewhat by playing it safe as possible.
The press just wants sizzle and he isnt going to risk his hard-fought DNC victory fooling with the press.
He knows he is going to win the DNC 2008, so he is pulling back access. Why risk? He got PA down to 5-7 points, now he’ll cruise to a single-digit loss in PA, wallop her in NC, win IN and then it will be 99% over.
Dont be surprised if he completely starts to ignore clinton, in favor of McCain, even if she is still around, in about 14 days.

Obama can not take pressure of any kind, he has proven that. So, he will avoid, evade and elude the press, questions and reality.
What do you get if you play one Of obamas speeches backwards? The Truth

Jake,
Obama is only good when he is scripted. He is not really in command of his platforms; he is quite capable of gaffes as we all know. He has been consistently termed “aloof.” That description dates all the way back to his years at Harvard Law School and before. I am sure he feels that he need not speak to the press. As a very calculating person, I think, he does not see anything to be gained.
God, if he becomes POTUS, will we know anything?

Obama claims that he doesn’t need to win white blue collar voters because he is motivating so many new, young people to join the Democratic Party that he is, essentially, changing the electoral map.
Obama’s argument does have merit, in that his appeal to white, post graduate degreed intellectuals and college students cuts across some Red state boundaries and party lines. Thus Obama brings us hope of a new Democratic electorate this Fall — that divided along new racial and socioeconomic class lines instead of that divided along old racial and socioeconomic and class lines.
Why trade the old electorate for a new? The new demographic can contribute much, much more money, and they have Internet connections! Obama’s electorate is the Ebay of electorates and the Amazon.com of American Democracy! And we can replace the Congressional Record with the Congressional Blogosphere! If we are going to divide along socioeconomic class lines, let’s unload the white, blue collar workers onto the Republicans because the hyperlingual educated classes are a better class of voter (donor).
Think of it as an upgrade to Democrats 4.0, Professional Version. But, what should worry the Democratic Party, however, is how long would those newly converted Democrats (mostly independents and Republicans) remain loyal to the Democratic Party and the impact on the real democrats of the Party. The Democratic Party must be wondering whether this purported “unifier” is really a “DIVIDER.”

The manner in which politicians respond to these unscripted situations, are an index of the character and integrity of the candidate. If the questioned was posed in a civil manner, it should have been answered in the same fashion.

and doug would you consider rezko and auchi and the oil people who are backing obama saints?

After Hillary’s incredible statement about the total obliteration of Iran, Howard Wolfson hurried to comment that “she wasn’t referring to, or suggesting, nuclear weapons.” (according to Politco’s Ben Smith)
For a moment I wondered HOW then she was planning to totally obliterate Iran. By throwing the kitchen sink?
But THEN Hillary appeared on Keith Olbermann’s show, and while Wolfson just said that “she wasn’t referring to, or suggesting, nuclear weapons”, Hillary told Olbermann that she WAS.
What kind of campaign is that? What sort of dangerous neocon hawk Hillary is at heart? What sort of country has America become that a Democrat in a presidential campaign can flap out some statements about totally obliterating another country, a hooror of a statement in itself, while being contradicted by her campaign manager?!?
How SHAMEFUL!
And America babbles on… about waffles, flag pins, TV ads, tempers…
HELP! Somebody get that woman out of here!

Facing Barack Obama specially after the ABC debate, Hillary Clinton has shown that she is not only the candidate with experience to deal with tough situations, but also the candidate with the biggest COJONES.

Doug.. Did Barack call Larry Sinclair agian after there night out or was it just a fling?

Barack is unelectable. The superD’s know it. Despite outspending his opponent 2:1, he can’t close the deal. Despite being ahead in pledged delegates, states won and popular vote, he can’t close the deal. He is the front-runner and he can’t close the deal.
Why?
Barack is simply unelectable.

Senator Barack Obama will not be the democratic nominee because he is simply unelectable in the general election. For the past two election cycles, the Dems have failed to put one of their own in the White House. An Obama ticket will have history repeat itself. The Dem elite simply will not let this happen or they run the risk of losing their own seats in the next election cycle.
He hasn’t closed the deal and the superD’s know it.
Obama is simply unelectable.

We will bring up the Larry Sinclair story every time you guys bring up the Bill Clinton story. Your man, Obama, has been very quiet about this. Don’t worry, the Republicans are just waiting to out Obama to America, not just those of us who read these blogs. As the saying goes, If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Rise, Hillary, Rise!’08

lol only the big states count. That will come back to bite her big time.
Most americans that are intelligent enough to remember the clintons in the white house do not want the clintons BACK in the white house.
The superdelegates are also praying for Obama. They know he needs to do this without their help, and he will win.
They can even give her FL, she still won’t win. MI is a 50/50 wash.
Watch out….she’s still ducking sniper fire and running to her car to get to her base.
lolololol

This just in on Larry King Live. Obama was invited to the show tonight but declined due to “schedule” issues. What a wimp Obama is-running from media and hiding his skin from being exposed. Do you want his guy for president-who doesn’t have guts to face reality and his own words.

LA in Indiana: Are the delegates praying for Obama? Are you leading them? Come on, we want to hear the story.

And who would Hillary obliterate if Israel attacked first?
O, sorry, you were still dicussing waffles.

He is afraid to answer the tough questions. He has no substance and prefer to have speech only.

He undoubtedly declined because he would see his weak responses were not an anomoly on ABC, but that in fact, he is inexperienced and can’t handle “the heat.”
I guess we’ll never know the truth though, will we?

If Hillary can fact MSNBC KO and not be worried about it, what is the deal with Obama.
We all know that MSNBC as been all over Hillary for months yet she took the offer and faced KO tonight.
Obama has to stop being such a wimp and be willing to face the fire at a drop of a hat.

OH,, FORGOT
If Obama’s wife and Chief campaign manager was off to Colombia promoting one of Bush’s Free Trade, that will take American Jobs. Would this Primary be over?

I’d have given the same response if someone interrupted my breakfast. Most of us would, wouldn’t we? The reporter was rude, and intrusive.

I think his staff has put him in an anti press bubble the past few days. He also seems to be unavailable for several news programs tonight because of “scheduling conflicts”….hmmmmm. This is at least the 2nd incident over the past few weeks where the waffler has come off dismissive and aloof to people who have asked him a question, first the request for a picture, and now the reporter. His aloofness, plus his “don’t bother me, I’m busy” attitude aren’t playing well with average people now either. He is starting to remind me of Jimmy “Rose Garden Guy” Carter,afraid to talk to the press and hiding behind his spokesmen.

A reporter wishing to discuss Hamas during breakfast was probably as appealing to Obama, as an alleged supporter wanting to discuss Monica Lewinski with Hillary during a rally. Maybe there should be some lines drawn as to when, what, and where an issue should be discussed.
Both issues appears to have been flames to me, with the intention of stirring up some point of controversy

This is not the first time he got pissed with the press, he did that leave me alone I have answered enough with the Wright issue.
This is how he operates once the press is not on his side, or he feels the questions are not to his liking he runs off or put up a wall.
If he becomes president what will he do if he does not like what the press is saying banned them from printing anything negative about him??

The Hillary supporter’s on all the blogs I have seen have convinced me that if she is the nominee, I will most definitely vote for McCain!
If this is the type of people who supports her style of politics, and admire her bad behavior, then I agree with Obama, John McCain would be the better president…….. than George Bush! (maybe that was a dog whistle I heard…..woof!)

Hillary is gonna blow obama away tomorrow—I can’t WAIT to CELEBRATE !!!
obama can try to spend ALL of his campaign money in PA because he is desperate to win, but the PA Voters are going to SHOW THE WORLD that obama CANNOT buy their votes, or BUY THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.
Ask yourself THIS: if obama is the “clear winner for the Nomination”, why hasn’t he wrapped it up by NOW—-or by the last couple of Primaries weeks ago? THIS ISN’T A PERSONALITY CONTEST. We Americans are looking for a PRESIDENT out of these 3 persons—-who will be the REAL ONE that will start taking ACTION with doing what AMERICA WANTS:
* OUR TROOPS HOME & THE WAR OVER
* AN INVESTIGATION INTO HIGH GAS PRICES
* GETTING THE ECONOMY UNDER CONTROL
* HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE
* MORE MONEY FOR OUR CHILDREN’S
EDUCATION
* A REPEAL OF TAXES ON THE MIDDLE
CLASS & PUTTING THE TAX BACK ON THE
WEALTHY, WHERE IT BELONGS
—>A CLINTON GOT US THERE BEFORE, A CLINTON CAN GET US BACK THERE AGAIN.<—

The right answer to that question is, “As a US Senator and Presidential candidate, this is not the time for me to comment.”
Simple. Then offer to trade him a cup of good coffee if he won’t repeat the question. If he asks again, then you can be more direct.
Rude pushback is a famous trait in management circles. The test is, “Don’t do business with a man who is rude to the help. He will be so with you or your customer.”
Barack Obama is not ready to be POTUS.

Is Obama that afraid to talk to the press? One really bad debate, and the questions he was being asked really were not that tough, and Obama has put an end to answering questions? This is a man who wants to be president on a platform of UNIFYING the country? If Obama can’t even bring democrats together, and he can’t even speak with reporters on the eve of a big primary, what’s going to happen when our country is in crisis, and the American people want to know what Obama as our president is going to do? Will it be a White House news blackout? It seems that the longer the Obama campaign has to be out and about, the creepier the vibes it’s sending to anyone considered “not on his side”. What happened to bipartisanship? Hillary was AWESOME tonight on Keith Olbermann and Larry King Live! Hillary is just like that bunny, she’ll keep going and working hard for the American people!! Hillary’s not flipping the bird at anybody tonight!!! Obama waffles, Hillary shows up and talks policy!!!
NO OBAMA 08!!! He’s a wimpy waffler!!!

HUSSEIN OBAMA IS UNELECTABLE IN NOVEMBER.
HIS RECORD DOESN’T REPRESENT THE MAINSTREAM OF AMERICAN POLITICS.
HE MAY WIN THE NOMINATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,BUT IN GENERAL ELECTIONS HAS TO FACE THE REPUBLICAN
VOTERS,INDEPENDENTS AND SOME HILLARY’S
SUPPORTERS.
….AND THAT’S THE REALITY CHECK.

WHAT?!! obama just backed out of the North Carolina debate?? There he goes, again: making himself scarce and unaccessable to REAL voters who want to know what he is all about before they have a chance to go and vote for their choice of Democratic Nominee.
This becoming in-accessable to the American people is becoming a habit with obama. Candidates and President’s need to make themselves ACCESSABLE to America, because that is what we are getting rid of in George W. Bush–he sits on his throne somewhere and does as he pleases, and doesn’t care what American’s think, so he doesn’t show up in public to see what they are wanting.
We don’t want obama—–he’s another uncaring George W. Bush, and arrogant, “MY WAY, or the Highway” guy, trying to make himself King—-rewarding his rich friends for sticking by him.

hey, what’s going on about obama.
I have been making calls to pa for hillary.and now I am watching her on cspan
obama refused another debate?
I am not suprised. Geo. bush refused to debate anymore with al. gore.
why?
if you believe in what you are offering
and you know what you are talking about.
you can defend it.
VOTERS OF PA.-THE MEDIA TRIED TO TELL YOU HOW TO VOTE.
THE DNC HAS TRIED TO TELL YOU HOW TO VOTE,
THEY SILENCED MI,
THEY SILENCED FL.
VOTERS OF PA. LET THE MEDIA, OBAMA, AND EVERYONE ELSE KNOW, THE VOTERS ARE THE ONES WHO DECIDE.
PUT HILLARY OVER THE TOP IN THE AM.
think about it obama only copies hillary.
he cannot even put up an original ad. has to copy hers.
hillary/edwards 08

Chicken and waffles….
Campaigning for NC in PA….

After the Obama inauguration, will there be a period where the media reflects on allowing double standards in coverage, the mere unfiltered reproduction of press releases and conference calls, etc. And perhaps investigate how a certain public relations firm uses its size in an attempt to bully open forums such as this.
Hillary’s campaign is TEN MILLION DOLLARS IN THE HOLE. And here, the topic is Obama having breakfast.
Minds have been lost.
Lee Ioccoca is right.
“While we’re fiddling in Iraq, the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving pom-poms instead of asking hard questions. That’s not the promise of America my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I’ve had enough. How about you?”

Iacocca: ‘Some
of us are sick and tired of people who call free speech treason’

Scary times when our country considers a vote for ANOTHER puppet.
We need a leader who SPEAKS to the people.

We need a President that will be tough on waffles.

kravitz,
And have you infiltrated Hagee’s church?? Do tell!!

Obama future president of the Waffle House.

Being asked if he’d give the press a comment after the taping (his interview) Obama said “Maybe, it depends on how well behaved you are.”

Taylor,
Hate to break it to you but that has always been US policy. To protect Israel, and if nukes are sent, to send them back.
Talk about making a mountain out of molehill!
Especially when you consider the last time Iran attacked anyone.
And you are claiming Clinton supporters are stupid!? LOL

Interesting…. How come reporters are not asking McCain about Cindy’s tax return. Is Obama the only front runner. McCain is also a front runner and he is having a free press ride. Ask McCain about Cindy McCain’s tax returns, his medicals, and some of his recent gaffes on ABC interview w/ Stephanopoulos, where he seems to imply that people with 401K plans would therefore be paying higher capital gains taxes under the Obama plan.

I doubt that all the blogging that has taken place during this campaign has changed anyones choices….at least not in the comments section.
It has made me more certain than ever that I will vote for McCain if hillary doesn’t make it. I don’t want the kind of change that represents a candidate that is all “sound and fury signifying nothing.”
Obama seems like a nice guy…he consistantly lies about his policy record, his associations and his experience. And he has not been called on it by the press. He is far to scripted for me.
Did anyone see M Moores endorsement? The funny thing about it is that he said that Obama was inexperienced and had a voting record that did not match the policy he advocates….Moore was all for “the movement not the man”.
Shades of Sinclair Lewis…I do think that Obama is more like Bush than any other candidate…Remember when Bush convinced America he was a “centrist”? My problem is Obama really is all over the place. I would assume from his record he would be ultra liberal. But it really is hard to tell because I think in the Senate anyway Kennedy and Kerry are telling him how to vote.

Michael Moore endorses Obama
Fresh off the wires today, filmmaker Michael Moore is endorsing Barack Obama for president:
I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, “Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for ‘spiritual counseling?’ THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!”
But no, Obama won’t throw that at her. It wouldn’t be right. It wouldn’t be decent. She’s been through enough hurt. And so he remains silent and takes the mud she throws in his face.
That’s why the crowds who come to see him are so large. That’s why he’ll take us down a more decent path. That’s why I would vote for him if Michigan were allowed to have an election.
Full Text
I don’t care what anyone says — in the primaries, this will help him, if anything.

Just for reminders.
If Hillary will win today, as she probably will (for Governor Rendell already told that a lot of white folks in PA would never vote for a black candidate), nothing will have changed in this race.
Except for two things.
1. Obama’s lead will have became MORE insurmountable if Hillary wins PA with less than 63% of the vote. If she wins with 63%, Obama’s lead will be JUST AS insurmountable as before. Hillary has no chance of winning the large state of North Carolina.
2. Hillary’s campaign will in be historic financial problems, with a historic high amount of debts, after this month of April. She started the month with more than 10 millions in debt and 8 million in cash. This was her most expensive month so far, while her donations have slowed down. The campaign will a financial wreck on May 1, with all the serious consequences.

According to a CNN report last night, well over 40% of Obama’s campaign supporters have maxed out their legal limit on donations.
With Clinton, only about 20% of supporters have hit that legal limitation on donations.
The August convention is still about three months away.
And, McCain and the Republicans have spent next to nothing…yet…

Gallup Poll: Obama Widens National Lead
Obama has widened his lead over Sen. Hillary Clinton nationally for the Democratic presidential nomination, according to a USA Today/Gallup Poll.
Obama leads Clinton, 50% to 40%.
RCP Average for the Democratic Presidential Nomination is at an all time high today, a 9,6 lead for Obama.
OBAMA – IT’s NOT THE PRESS, IT’s THE PEOPLE!
BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!

WAAAAAA The Press asked me a few tough questions I want my Grandma waaaa ooops I played the Race card and threw her under the bus (figurely) whaaaa! :(
Let me call my preacher mentor the bitter people asked me tough questions whaaaa what should I do preacher?
Preaher Wright – did you talk to william aires?
Obama – He wont care Whaaaaa!!

“Before the race began, I started doing my research. I started reading about the man. He’s done amazing things with his life for a lot of people. The average American – of every color. That’s why there are so many rallying behind him. They actually KNOW about him. After all I learned about his experiences and work..”
lol! This is a meme the Obama campaign is sending out through fake comments by astroturf posters. I saw the same thing posted elsewhere earlier today.
A total crock, unless the “research” was done at Obama’s own website. Not only has Obama not even won a campaign on his own (every opponent has been forced out of the race, just as they’ve been trying to force Hillary) but none of Obama’s listed “accomplishments” were his own…they were hijacked from the lawmakers who actually authored and worked on the bills, and given to Obama by king-makers. Obama is a fraud…his willingness to defraud people is proven by this. And according to the Washington Post, he’s been doing the same thing in DC…horning in on press conferences and laying claim to bills he had nothing to do with.
Anyone who really researched him would find this, so NICE TRY with the astroturf meme, but you’re shilling for a fraud and we know it.
Oh…and I guess Obama was busy EATING WAFFLES when his constituents in his home district were freezing in apartments without heat after slum lord Rezko kept the taxpayer money Obama recommended him for.

JG,
If you haven’t seen any probelms with Obama, then you haven’t done your research and clearly aren’t going to do any.
Anyone who has half a clue about Hillary’s baggage and hasn’t looked into Obamas is frankly too scared to look because they know they will find it.
Anyone who claims that Hillary has run a mean campaign and hasn’t run down the entire quotes and what was actually said and in response to what. Is too scared to see who Obama really is.
Anyone who thinks that Obama isn’t taking money from lobbists and thinks he is just accepting donations from it’s employees. Frankly, have never worked in a Fortune 500 company and seen the memos of how companies secure donations from employees to get around laws. It it extorted donations often with a unspoken perk for doing so.
This whole ruse that Obama is upbove it all doesn’t fly when 11 slums in his district went without heat so that Rezko could have gold fixtures in his bathroom. It doesn’t fly when he claims he is against utilizing Yucca Mountain in Nevada, when Exelon, Illinois largest utility is, and an Obama supporter, is trying to force their waste on other states. Or the fact that Ayers’ father was CEO of Commonwealth Edison, who is owned by Exelon.
There is a lot in Obama’s past, but I doubt any of this makes a difference. Because if you haven’t looked and judged for yourself, and are expecting others to do your work for you, then you are perfect as one of his supporters.
He likes doing the same. His stole MLKs tone….JFKs words….and Ceasar Chavez’ battle cry. He is lazy intellectually and when you watch debates or him run from questions. That because a more glaring fact.
I expect more from my President AND Harvard grads.

Of course they are keeping Obama away from the press, just like they did when “W” campaigned. Obama is sitting on his lead, trying to run out the clock on Hillary, and trying not to fumble the ball. When Obama is not reading from a script in front of an adoring crowd he is apt to say something pretty dumb. When he has to answer real questions from real people, including the press, he makes mistakes. Consider his performance in debates, where he either says “Yeah, like she said …” referring to Hillary, or simply stares back at the camera like a deer in the headlights.
Oh yeah, this is who we really want to go toe-to-toe with the Russkies for us.

Leave the man alone and let him eat his waffles ! A good breakfast is the start of a good day. For the USA !

Remember when he threw one guy which followed him just want to get a picture for his wife?
He is so arrogant.
He’d be nice to people when he wants to get something.

Cali girl,
Good comments.

Hey Cali Girl who said, “I expect more from my President AND Harvard grads.”
Considering that Kennedy and Kerry are both Harvard Graduates and Presidential Losers, maybe we shouldn’t expect much from Harvard Grads…or is it just a small group of Harvard Liberal elites that try and get what they want by cheating and using their Harvard connections? Obama is a wimpy waffler and one has to wonder about the grads Harvard is turning out…

I think we all should be asking ourselves why Hillary has chosen to use the idea of nuking Iran as a political football during a primary campaign. How irresponsible is that? This from someone who has constantly derided Bush’s “Cowboy Diplomacy”?!?!?!
