Carville Says Obama Short on ‘Cojones’

Of the comparable toughness between Sens. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Barack Obama, D-Ill., Clinton adviser James Carville tells Newsweek: “If she gave him one of her cojones, they’d both have two.”

Classy.

(Carville also says Clinton needs to win both Indiana and North Carolina on Tuesday. “The onus is on her. She’s got to do better than tie. If she wins Indiana and North Carolina, she’s the nominee. She’s got to shock the system, and she may be shocking it.”)

There sure are a lot of men around Clinton who keep throwing out gonad and gender references to imply Clinton is stronger than Obama, as if strength is an exclusively male characteristic.

A few days ago, as ABC News’ Eloise Harper reported, Paul Gibson, the president of a local steelworkers Union Chapter 6787 in Indiana, announced support for Clinton, saying it’s “going to take an individual with testicular fortitude” to deal with the nation’s problems.

In February, Jack Nicholson announced that “Hillary is the best man for the job.”

In relaying this to crowds, Clinton changed this to “real men vote for Hillary.”

Linguists are going to look back at this election as a treasure trove.

Will you be doing an article about the sexism in the media next so that you can report the direct quotes from the media implying Hillary cannot do the job because she’s a woman?

Carville ought to talk about being short on Cojones–The problem is not only is he short on intelligence but he definitely has shown that he lacks class and tact, As far as the other he is “all windup and no fastball” Always was and always will be !!!

Ya Jenny…Hillary has the brains, the cojones, and really big ovaries!
AS a woman who also gave birth, (no MAN can) she is more than equipped to be the better PRESIDENT. ;)

Carville is the most clever strategists of all time, watch the War Room form thr first Bill Clinton campaign.

Dear Fellow Americans,
Our Great-grand Nation, the United States of America
is and will face very critical “Challenges” in coming,
months, years, and decades. It is very essential that
we pick out next President on following criteria.
1. A candidate with “Vision and Statesmanship”.
2. A candidate with ” Stable Character and Morality” .
3. A candidate with “Presidential Temperament” and
“sound Judgment”.
4. A candidate with “little Washington exposure” and
“connectedness with New voters”.
5. A candidate who “Inspires us up” rather than
“Tears
us down”.
In my professional opinion there is only one candidate
left, who bears all the above qualities aand that is
Honorable Senator Obama.
As an independent registered voter since 1974. I voted
for Carter, voted for Reagan, voted for First Bush,
and second Bush in 2000. In the process last interest
and stopped voting.
This time we can not afford to stay on side lines and
let Washington stay the same.
We can not afford our Greatgreat Nation to become less
than what we are and can be.
We need to send clear and candid message to the world
and some 24 hour partisan hateful media. These media
outlets are trying to deprive, dupe, and derail us
from getting it right this time.
They are trying there best to deny us better rather
than bitter future. { Our Greatgrand Nations people
are
persistently and constantly subjected to Psychological
terrorism” thru these hatful partisan media outlets.
We Americans are not going to allow them
psychologically terrorized us and silence the masses.
I am sure that we will get it right this
time and elect Senator Obama our next President. let
us not get dragged down into racism and sexism.
Let us remember that our Greatgrand is constituted of
family, fellowships, friends, faith, funds, fun,
future with fairness and freedom and without fear or
favor.
We can not afford to lose any of above. Let us stand
up, be counted, save, build our Greatgrand Nation for
centuries to come.
God Bless our Great grandNation, its diverse people.
Our future needs stability, security, safety,
sustained progress and restoration of our due status
in this perilous Global World at all levels.

Carville has lost my respect. To think I bought a copy of his book at the 2004 DNC and got his autograph!
I can only hope he will be absent from the Obama campaign in the General Election. We don’t need his kind of warped politics.

Remember Obama’s talk about “inspiring us up” and not “tearing us down?”
Did he forget about that? He has resorted to name calling and personal attacks on Hillary Clinton because he feels threatened.
If Michelle gave Obama one of her cajones, what would happen then?

Posted by: Sam | May 4, 2008, 12:22 pm 12:22 pm

Because Obama’s more feminine.

Posted by: RL in Illinois | May 4, 2008, 12:22 pm 12:22 pm

So were supposed to vote for Hilliary because her supporters can out-insult the others? I guess this truly means that she and her supporters have run out of things to offer America. It’s very sad. Especially inlight of the fact that the former presidents legacy has been futher and irrevocably eroded. Shameful.

Posted by: Blog | May 4, 2008, 12:22 pm 12:22 pm

Hillary is a strong woman, as have all the successful women who have led nations in the past. In November, she’ll be up against McCain who is also pretty strong, although not without problems. Obama will be footnote in history. He’s such a phony little baby, always complaining. Can you imagine all the dancing the streets that would go on in the middle east if BO won the presidency? Terrorist groups would have a reason to celebrate.

Posted by: Genderless | May 4, 2008, 12:27 pm 12:27 pm

How do Hillary Clinton’s feminist supporters feel now that their candidate is being compared to a tough male? Doesn’t this fly in the face of what feminism is all about? Isn’t it ironic that the feminist candidate can only get votes by seeming to out male the males and that all this language to support her candidacy is typically sexist?

Posted by: izzie | May 4, 2008, 12:27 pm 12:27 pm

I was watching Meet the Press for a short while this morning and at the end of the program Tim asked Obama if he would support Hillary if she’s the nominee. He said he would campaingn for the Democrats. By that statement, I got the impression he wouldn’t campaign for her but for other Democrats. She has always said she would campaign for him if he’s the nominee. He is so disingenious I can’t stand it. As a Hillary supporter, it won’t matter if he is the nominee, we won’t vote for him in November. NO UNITY FOR US!!!!

Posted by: Lois, California | May 4, 2008, 12:28 pm 12:28 pm

The best thing you can say about a woman is that she is as strong as a man. Just like the best thing you can say about a cat is that it acts just like a dog. That’s life, folks. Obama is a weak little girl. Hillary is a strong leader. Get over it.

Posted by: suzy | May 4, 2008, 12:30 pm 12:30 pm

And the person on here who claims that Barack Obama has been calling Hillary names please cite one instance in which he has?
A real man does not need to resort to the kinda of nasty aggression that Hillary does. It’s ironic that she sees her only way to victory as being more traditionally male than the males. And this is precisely what is wrong. Why is being nastily male a better way to succeed?

Posted by: izzie | May 4, 2008, 12:31 pm 12:31 pm

Lois — I agree with you. Obama won’t back Hillary if she wins. He’s only in it for himself. I would never vote for him. If he gets the nomination, I’m voting for McCain, unless Hillary will run as a third party candidate. Go Hillary!!!

Posted by: betty | May 4, 2008, 12:33 pm 12:33 pm

Guam is the trend, and Indiana and North Carolina the end. John McCain has alread lost. Hail our new Messiah and President, Barack Obama, who has been sent by God, to save the US and the free world and to deliver us from evil, and to make our nation and the world into one, free from racial, ethnic, religious and national divide. Say “Yes We Can” to join with your voices, a movement, a nation, and a world. Lord God, our father, thank you for your son, born amongst us, to unite all of us under one banner. Rise O Barcak Obama, son of god, and free us from all evil. Hallelujah! Amen!

Hillary uses lies to appear tough and to fool the voters. She has a very long history of unethical behavior. How can people relate toughness to lies about sniper fire and supporting a gas tax she knows Congress will not pass because it is a terrible idea.
It is a shame that Hillary has made a mockery out of the gifts God gave her.

izzie — progressive feminists believe that women can present themselves in any manner they want. so the fact that clinton is working “masculinity” is not a problem. in fact, it is great. feminist should be upset that a man cannot be gentle AND courageous. Obama’s problem: he has not shown courage. He is way too mainstream. The weird thing is the so-called left say he’s soooooo different, when he’s not.

Posted by: tony | May 4, 2008, 12:37 pm 12:37 pm

As a liberal democrat, I am sick and tired of being called a racist because I don’t like Obama. This is not 1965 and we have a lot more problems besides racism. Carville is right. Obama is weak. He’s even weaker than Kerry; more like Dukakis. And I’m tired of his constant complaining and victim act and his belligerant under-bite wife. We need a strong leader who knows her stuff. Go Hillary!

Posted by: sosueme | May 4, 2008, 12:43 pm 12:43 pm

Excuse me Trapper! Obama’s team and the media (sorry, for the redundancy) have been exploiting gender stereotypes throughout the campaign. ABC News ran a story for days on the website likening Clinton to Tonya Harding! So please, spare us the pious indignation.

Angel, you speak for “most voters”?
What, do you have your own independent pollster?
Hillary now has an official complaint against her at the UN for her remarks. And the disapproval of a number of countries and leaders.
Hillary is dead wrong about her remarks and the 30-40 thousand Jews in Iran agree.
And the Iranian American community and lobby know she is wrong.
And I a white well educated female knows she is wrong. It is wrong to speak in these terms about citizens of other nations.

Cojones is not a word that should have been in politics. I do agree with Carville on remarks about Richardson and further state that Richardson cancelled all votes that Hillary got in New Mexico which included mine. It goes to show you that our votes do not count in presidetial elections and doubt I will ever vote in another one. Now find that our Demo Chairman Cohen decided to join Richardson in cancelling the Hillary votes in New Mex. Again thanks for cancelling our votes. Martin

Posted by: martin Padilla | May 4, 2008, 1:12 pm 1:12 pm

The only reason Hillary has more cojones than Obama is because Bill and Chelsea are doing all the dirty work. Obama is holding his own against three while Hillary can’t keep her supporters from defecting.

Dear dripping with sarcasm.
What appears to me to be happenning here is that Clinton supporters (or trolls, sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference)are reduced to calling names and talking nonsense. Whether you call it basketballs or Cajones or we can say testicles if you want to get medical, it all amounts to the same cheap sleight. And that Hillary keeps Bill’s inside the glove compartment in that what-were-we-driving-that-year car? is understandable.
Such desperation from one of Hillary’s own campaign jocks (does she pay these people?) only shows how depairing they are.
Let another head roll in the Hillary campaign headquarters.

Hillary has not just Cojones, but brains and experience.
If she can face Bill O’Reiley, she can face anyone.
Hillary has what it will take to make us proud of America once again and fix all the problems the Bush administration has created.
Americans in Indiana and NC will make their choice next Tuesday and it will show the will of the people, and the best choice for president of the United States of America is obviously Hillary Clinton.

Most voters perceive that Barack Obama sounds like complaining on behalf of the IRAN president who questioned the Holocaust and enemy of Israel.
This is another example where Obama appears to be constantly whining since those tough questions in 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.

Well, only Hillary had the cojones to agree to a re-do primary in Michigan, stating publically that she might win it, she might not, but the voters have a right to vote and be counted, as it was politicians like Carl Levin that caused their votes to not be counted. Barack was cojone-less on this issue. He was a wimp, didn’t want to take a chance. While cojone-less on the Michigan re-do, he was certainly abundant in ego and vanity and personal desire.

I don’t know where people are getting this Obama’s a wuss thing. Hillary will say anything. McCain flip flops on everything. Obama is the only candidate who has stuck by his guns about the war.
Wait until Obama goes head to head with McCain. We’ll see who the wuss is. I think he’s just been playing nice with Clinton b/c he’s already got a lock on the nomination. It’s too bad Clinton wants to help the republicans by playing out the eventual nominee to be less of a man. Maybe that does take cojones. I’d rather have someone with brains and cojones.

When some time passes and people look back on this campaign, they will see how far back Hillary has set the woman’s movement. First, she whined that the “boys” were ganging up on her in debates; then she threw back shots showing girls that the way to gain acceptance is to bow to peer pressure to drink; now she allows the people in her camp to tout her strength in masculine terms as though males have a monopoly on strength. To have men in her camp repeatedly make reference to her testicles is widly offensive–apparently not to her so long as it gets votes. Disgusting.

When the campaign first began, Obama was short on experience. Now, after that myth was debunked, he is short on cojones, even after winning more contests, more votes, and more delegates. How can such a person, who also has fathered two daughters, by the way, be short on cojones? Nice try Stephanopoulos and company! We are the change we are looking for.

James Carville has a big and large mounth but no testos, that is known to all of us. He has to behave properly, his words are ugly as he is, but the democratic party needs something else not people who will divide us, but unite us. Hill the Bosnian General is a divisive face as well as James Carville. The hope is Obama. God save America from Hill and old McCain. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

All I hear these day’s are he’s black and I would never vote for Obama (and it’s not because I’m a racist). That statement just proves you are racist!!! I am White and I know the difference with the racist comments. I understand the hardships of African “AMERICANS”
It doesn’t matter if your black, blue, green, purple or white or if you are Muslim, Christian, Mormon, Atheists, Jewish, Baptist, or Catholic, you are still an “AMERICAN” we all bleed the same, dye the same, have some similar common ground with our own trials. Everyone owns their own thoughts and bad judgments. I have seen Mrs. Clinton tirade around picking out women even trying to make this campaign about gender and that is where the race card comes in. yes a lot of us seniors are still a little weary about color but it shouldn’t matter, Obama is still fighting for us and what he believes in so is Mrs. Clinton This race should be about facts. Not race, gender or ASSOCIATION we all know they both have some associations that we would like to forget about!!!
Mrs. Clinton has brought a lot of good to us American Women. Mr. Obama knows first hand about the so called suspension about the gas tax, he tried it and it didn’t work so he is right!! We need to fix our problems not gutter ball them. I didn’t know that we elect a president by the comments of a pastor we all need to stop talking about. Maybe the news will let it go to… I doubt it because they all think it should only be Clintons see they are playing the race card here too.
Clinton has also played the GENDER CARD too…. LETS GET TO THE FACTS-ISSUES NOT BS

Let’s face it Obama will most likely be the nominee and the people who say they will for Mccain..
Are not true Democrats because to vote for Mccain is to vote for the War..
So either these folks are liars about being Democrats are they are fools for waiting to vote for Mccain..
So lets stop the madness and join on the Obama train
CHO cho………….
It is always fascinating to hear a supporter of Senator Obama opine on what constitutes a Democrat …
Perhaps they will feel differently after the party goes down in flames due to the coronation of the least suitable candidate EVER in the history of either party.
A vote of Barack Obama IS a vote for John McCain.

Robert Hewson,
Your repost of Head of State was interesting. Just stop and think. Obama has only really had a month of tough press coverage with Wright and Ayes. Think of how much Hillary has gone through with brutal press coverage spanning over a decade and on the most very personal details.
She is much tougher. There is no doubt in my mind. Obama had the imprimatur of the press for too long. Any questions recently posed to Obama on Wright, Ayres, etc. were legitimate questions.
Yes, Hillary has the “cajones” in this campaign. Obama has often been described as the “feminine” candidate.

Jake, OT, but interesting tidbit from NYT:
“Four hours north in Gary, a predominantly black city of 100,000, a vastly different debate has been simmering in the days before the primary on Tuesday: a Clinton supporter has questioned the school system’s decision to bus high school seniors to the county courthouse for early voting, field trips that some said looked like a way to try to produce higher numbers for Mr. Obama.”
IMHO, that is downright weird for a public school to be doing this.

What’s possibly bad about a government funded public school providing transportation to interested elligible voters who are in school that day if they wish to take advantage of their legal right to vote? Nothing in there suggests a bias towards either candidate, does it?
There are tons of systems and organizations that do the same thing for other groups with transportation/time-off type issues, so why not schools? I would think a school encouraging and enabling young people to exercise their franchise would be a noble and good thing.
Unless, of course, by bias, you’re referring to the predominant race of the students in that school? So are you saying that anyone who provides transportation or get out the vote services to a group or area that contains a high percentage of a particular demographic that polls as leaning towards one candidate over another is now suspect of tampering or illegally influencing a vote?
So election day bussing to poor neighborhoods that happen to be non-white neighborhoods is now to be suspected of influencing towards Obama?
How about the same services given to the elderly in nursing homes and such? They tend to vote Clinton, so is that illegit?
So are you proposing that only people with flexible jobs (no low-income) reliable vehicles (no unemployed) and the ability to drive themselves (no youth, elderly, or disabled need apply) should be allowed to vote?
If your post was aimed to help Clinton or McCain, you might want to stop. It’s definitely not helping either of them, and even as an Obama supporter I don’t beleive it reflects the viewpoints of either of these fine leaders.

Posted by: fontapa | May 4, 2008, 3:06 pm 3:06 pm

If Obama HAD any b___s, he’d actually have campaigned for the state and U.S. Senate seats, instead of having his invisible associates knock the other candidates off the ballot.

Some of you are taking this so personally when you should know that Hillary is just staying in the race to get your money…she does have $14,000,000 of bills to pay off, you know! I wonder if she will use your money to pay back herself the $5,000,000 loan she gave to her campaign…hmmmm.

fontapa,
I see you posted a lengthy response to my post. I did not have time to read ALL OF IT. Note, I did virtually no editorializing on it, other than I thought it weird. I have never heard of busing school kids to vote in a presidiential election or any election for that matter. These teens can walk, I am sure! Seniors cannot get around and that is the point of providing transportation. Further, where I am located, many seniors just vote absentee. There are no buses for them at all.
I stand by my original post and further posit if the school system did this in only predominantly black schools, I absolutely do have a problem with it. There is no justification for spending tax dollars to fund ANY transportation of students, unless we are talking about diaabled students.
I think it is ridiculous!! It may even be unlawful.

Well, for one thing, you’re completely speculating that they’re ONLY doing it at a black school.
Secondly, these are kids, and when I was their age, the 15 miles or more to my poling center would have definitely prohibited me from voting at all.
Thirdly, there’s nothing illegal or disgusting about getting our youth to participate in American Democracy. We’ve passed laws to require students to study civics as a diploma requirement. We bring voter registration personnel into schools to make them elligible to vote. If getting a ride to the polls is a way to get them to vote for the first time and fulfill their duty and potential as American citizens, even if it’s just one school in the whole state willing to take that step, then it’s an honorable and decent thing to do.
Again, you’re primary hangup here seems to be about the fact that it’s a black school. If it was only one school filled with white kids (as mine was) and they offered this service, would you care? Would anyone?
You’re reaching, and in the process revealing your ideology. Heaven forbid a historically downtrodden population’s children are given a chance to participate in a franchise that their ancestors were immorrally barred from.
Some things go beyond which candidate they benefit. Some things are just the right thing to do. Senator’s Obama, Clinton, and McCain would wholeheartedly agree with me.

I am taking bets as to what Hillary will come up with to get votes in Kentucky….. It will be interesting. She has pretty much used up everything including amending the Constitution to allow Guam to vote in the general election. She is testing that theory to see if it is popular and then she will promise the same to Puerto Rico. Since low level voters in Indiana don’t read, They will never know what a bad idea this gas tax holiday is. We have seen how Hillary intends to fight. A lot like George Bush.
It scares me that so many Republicans including Conservative media is pushing so hard for Hillary to win the primary.

If a particular school is far enough away from the polls and they have the idea to do this, and another school doesn’t need it, then it’s perfectly fine. Seperate-but-equal would infer that it’s being done solely based on race.
Every time some people see that a particular program is advantaging a community with a majority demographic that’s non-white, they immediately scream foul-play.
Nothing about this bussing program is geared towards making students choose a particular candidate. Just because the kids are black it’s a problem for you folks? That approach is the only racism taking place here, I’m sorry to tell you.

“Every time some people see that a particular program is advantaging a community with a majority demographic that’s non-white, they immediately scream foul-play.”
Get a clue: the biiig problem in the U.S., as elsewhere, is not about “race”, it’s about POVERTY.
Nobody’s prejudiced against rich people of ANY color — hence the misleading suggestion from social-climbing elitist frauds like John Kerry that there’s something special about tender candidate Obama because he’s (supposedly) “a black man”.
People in general ARE, however, prejudiced against poor people of any color, and against women.
If this “post-partisan” fraud were president, the present “politically correct” strictures on public speech would multiply, and everyone of ANY race would be walking on (brown) eggshells for however long it took to remove him from office.

4. Having as her campaign manager, Mark Penn, who earned her and her husband over $800,000,00 from the Colombian government for urging passage of a free trade agreement.

Belle, it is the Clinton supporters/endorsers that are talking about Hilliary having “testicular fortitude” and having “cahones”. NO ONE ELSE IS. The media is merely reporting on what her supporters say. Carville says Senator Obama is “short on cohones” what does cohones mean? Anyone know?? Is it male trousers in Spanish? Someone, please enlighten me! :)Thanks
Anyway, what they are really saying is that Hilliary is nothing without the testicular fortitude (a male trait) and without the cohones. She is merely a weak caricature of the female species. Methinks they better do some thining before they make such outrageous comments! They backfire! |

Not even OBAMA claims this! HIS claim, of which we haven’t heard much lately, was that his “loving” MOTHER, after leaving him with his grandparents, was herSELF on food stamps — which is extremely unlikely.
What you’ve posted here, however, is just plain made up.

I would never vote for Obama. Obama is a total fraud. He is weak and he is a bumbling, stuttering moron when asked direct questions, which is why he tries hard to avoid any serious questions.
Obama needs a mentor at age 27? What a pathetic person. And he chose REV WRIGHT?
Obama (just like Wright) is nothing more than a pandering opportunist. The guy makes me puke. He “is” a puke. He’s projectile vomit being spewed all over the web and the TV and radio 24/7. He’s a fake and I will not ever vote for him.
The number of HRC supporters who will NOT vote the Obama Fraud, grows daily.
We will not sit idly by and watch the President be chosen by the MEDIA.
Obama blows.

From the start of this campaign the Obama people and Obama himself have called Hillary terrible names and attempted to vilify and minimize her as an apponent. They have gotten a pass on their constant rhetoric.
Now Obama to take the spotlight of of himself and his association with Wright continues to play this music of painting Clinton as a “do anything to be elected” candidate,
He is the guy who didn’t have the guts to tell his minister of 20 years that AIDS was not a government conspiracy, He is the guy that has lied countless times about his own church and what was taught there.
He is the guy that continues to lie about his “other mentor” the slumlord and Obama investor Rezko.
He lacks courage…He lacks integrity…he is a politician as usual…who claims to be something else.
Sometimes the truth isn’t pretty but I don’t get too outraged at the people who tell it! After all we want a president that can deal with foreign dictators and a stalemated Washington…words won’t fix that.
Carville has a history of making controversial statements to make a point.

But Obama wants to talk to the leader of Iran and ask Ahmadinejad about his feelings.

It is interesting that Obama was born with only one cajone. So when people think he doesn’t have the cajones, he literally doesn’t. LOL!

My friends, why are we arguing? LOL!
Anyone who owns a calculator knows that the math doesn’t lie and there is no way in hell that the super delegates will overturn my vote or the votes of millions like me who voted for Obama!!! I don’t care if Hillary has 3 cajones or not! Maybe she can give one to Lance Armstrong!
Some of you are taking this so personally when you should know that Hillary is just staying in the race to get your money…she does have $14,000,000 of bills to pay off, you know! I wonder if she will use your money to pay back herself the $5,000,000 loan she gave to her campaign…hmmmm.

I could never vote for Hillary because she is such a creative, thoughtful, frequent and elaborate liar. I do see a bright future for her – as a fiction writer.

Hey Jake
I think the Alice Palmer story is more relevant than this one! Isn’t she campaigning for Hillary now?
I think America should hear about all of Obama’s mentors….Rexko, Wright, Palmer and Ayers to name a few.

Palmer’s the black female mentor Obama double-crossed to get into the Illinois Senate seat, which he used to get into the U.S. Senate seat. This story is mighty quiet. Palmer, if she cares to, can put this guy away.
Wright, the other black mentor who gave Obama “black” cred, has been discarded.
Rezko and Ayers, Obama’s non-black financial mentors, have been denied by Obama doubting-Thomas style.
It’s kind of telling, maybe, that only the most morally-appealing of the four is actually campaigning for the only Obama opponent still standing.

I think we can officially stop accusing the Obama campaign of sexism. Hillary has referred to herself as Rocky Balboa, Paulette Revere (the recession is coming! the recession is coming!) and last Thursday as Goldilocks (her gas tax holiday plan is “just right”). I have a new one: “cowgirl diplomacy” (regarding her “obliterate Iran” comment). These people shouldn’t be in the White House. They should create their own late-night t.v. show.
Stop the Drama, Vote Obama!

HILLARY CLINTON CAN BEST WIN IN NOVEMBER:
It’s time for everyone to face the truth. Barack Obama has no real chance of winning the national election in November at this time. His crushing defeat in Pennsylvania makes that fact crystal clear. His best, and only real chance of winning in November is on a ticket with Hillary Clinton as her VP.
Hillary Clinton seemed almost somber at her Pennsylvania victory speech. As if part of her was hoping Obama could have proved he had some chance of winning against the republican attack machine, and their unlimited money, and resources.
But it is absolutely essential that the democrats take back the Whitehouse in November. America, and the American people are in a very desperate condition now. And the whole World has been doing all that they can to help keep us propped up.
Hillary Clinton say’s that the heat, and decisions in the Whitehouse are much tougher than the ones on the campaign trail. But I think Mr. Obama faces a test of whether he has what it takes to be a commander and chief by facing the difficult facts, and the truth before him. And by doing what is best for the American people by dropping out of the race, and offering his whole hearted assistance to Hillary Clinton to help her take back the Whitehouse for the American people, and the World.
Mr. Obama is a great speaker. And I am confident he can explain to the American people the need, and wisdom of such a personal sacrifice for them. It should be clear to everyone by now that Hillary Clinton is fighting her heart out for the American people. She has known for a long time that Mr. Obama can not win this November. You have to remember that the Clinton’s have won the Whitehouse twice before. They know what it takes.
If Mr. Obama fails his test of commander and chief we can only hope that Hillary Clinton can continue her heroic fight for the American people. And that she prevails. She will need all the continual support and help we can give her. She may fight like a superhuman. But she is only human.
Sen. Hillary Clinton: “You know, more people have now voted for me than have voted for my opponent. In fact, I now have more votes than anybody has ever had in a primary contest for a nomination. And it’s also clear that we’ve got nine more important contests to go.”
Sincerely
Jacksmith… Working Class :-)

Yes and Hillary like Bush wants to obliterate Iran. A lot of growling and saber rattling. What does she care, she didn’t lose a child in Iraq.

Carville is not a supporter, he is an a strategist and advisor, but your’re right she couldn’t control Mark Penn either as he undermined her stance on free trade by taking $300,000 to promote it. Luckily he got caught and Colombia fired him…not Hil she needs his advice. Bill, on the other hand, made out like a bandit fleecing the Colombians of $800,000. What a cadre.

Will Hillary release her medical records
without delay? Carville seems to know
more about her “sex” than he should…
certainly more than we know. Cryptorch-
ism is rare….but much more common
in Democrats.

You know what? I quit reading all the carping. One camp and ONE CAMP ONLY claimed to be NEW POLITICS under a UNITER.
And looking at the PETTY JUNK his cult followers dish out we can see for ourselves: OBAMA HAS ALREADY FAILED.
If you wankers are “new” and you whining snarling name-callers are NOT “elitist” and are following Obama’s “lead” as a “uniter” you are WORSE FOR HIM THAN WRIGHT. You cultists PROVE he is NOT anything special and certainly NOT a uniter and if his followers who are ALL over the NET spewing this crap are any indication, you are worse than elitists…you are POSERS who only WISH you deserved to be elitist.
lolololol—thanks for proving OBAMA’S A FRAUD AND A LIAR.

When Hillary came up with the brilliant suggestion of setting up an “Umbrella of Deterrence” while Obama was still brushing the cobwebs off his brain and sending them stumlingly into the airwaves during the last debate he was in…. I was proud of her!
Although not a unique idea, (this tpe of deterrent is something already in effect in some European countries }, it was commendable because it shows promise of a strong leader with a quick mind coming up with a rationale able to quickly be brought to the table for discussion, evaluation and either acceptance … or dismissal.
Obama came up with N O T H I N G at that time.
But I”ve come up with a list of 70… and more on the way of Obama’s Laundry List of Lies….. which I would be happy to have you read before coming to your final decision on voting.
Meantime, I’m sticking with Hillary!

Havent you guys LONG SINCE figured out the formula yet?
Obama talks in great generalities on the stump about wholesale change . PANDERING and PREYING on those in dispair. Like he is the wizard of oz who has a magic wand.
Clinton then puts forth solutions. Obama simply either steals the idea for himself , or bashes it down while STILL not coming up with any plan himself.
He still tries to make it seem like his health care plan is a ‘universal healthcare’ plan .
Wow . Talk about an honest politician.

One ball Barry is getting roughed up by an old lady. You know you are soft when a sixty year old woman can successfully tag you as effeminate. Those joint appearances with Michelle actually hurt Obama, since it is clear she is the tough one. The spouses of the leading candidates are more interesting. Michelle has more fortitude than Barack, Elizabeth was more credible than John, and Bill is more appealing than Hillary.

Posted by: Pat | May 5, 2008, 3:31 am 3:31 am

If Barack Obama takes even a passing shot at Hillary, she will start crying, like she did in New Hampshire.
Boo hoo Hillary. You give good punches, but when you take them, you start blubbering like a baby.

What are your reactions, feminists? Is this how you want a woman to “fight” to become the first female POTUS? If so, okay. If not, may I ask why not? What is real strength anyway? I can say I’ve had 2 children without an epidural, but then I’d have to say one of my labors only lasted 45 minutes. At first I thought I would need to shake my fist at men in the workforce, but I found that doing my equal share has been enough. I’m sure part of that is just blessed circumstances, but that’s okay too.

Thomas Friedman, New York Times columnist wrote today of Hillary’s toughness: “Tom Friedman’s column today
Much nonsense has been written about how Hillary Clinton is “toughening up” Barack Obama so he’ll be tough enough to withstand Republican attacks. Sorry, we don’t need a president who is tough enough to withstand the lies of his opponents. We need a president who is tough enough to tell the truth to the American people. Any one of the candidates can answer the Red Phone at 3 a.m. in the White House bedroom. I’m voting for the one who can talk straight to the American people on national TV — at 8 p.m. — from the White House East Room.” Maybe Carville, who knows Hillary intimately, knows something about her gender preferences re: her top aide Huma Abedin.

Carville is creepy and disgusting. HRC supportes need to come to grips with the new nominee and get behind him. You can bet that HRC will be working for either a VP, governor, or a cabinet level position in the near future. There is still much work to do and all this infighting will cause the DEMS to lose in Nov. John M. is not a strong candidate.
