Clinton Calls on Nurses to Back Obama

Clinton may look as if she is supporting Obama, however, she did not give him her delegates when she suspended her campaign. Clinton has another agenda, one that will come forth at the Convention in Denver.

The obligatory daily “Clinton post”.
Now we can read the same comments that are posted on every “Clinton blog”.
Oh joy.

Sorry Hillary, no can do. I simply don’t trust Obama, he is already becoming John Kerry by waffling way too much, and I just can’t get past the arrogance of he and his campaign. He said what he needed to in order to win the primary, now he’s switching gears right and left (no pun intended, but he’s heading for the middle now to win the general)

The only thing I have seen Obama change his mind about is campaign finance. The only reason McCain wants him to accept public financing is so he can pull Obama down to his level. Back when he talked about campaign financing he had no idea how well things were going to work with him getting the American people to finance his campaign through small donations. So naturally he changed his mind. Anybody would including McCain. So if you want the same old tired flip flopping, nothing to offer, always looking out for the fat cats like Bush then vote for McCain. But I think we can do better with Obama.

David, will, dc,
Did you read the article? did you understand it? A vote for McCain is taking away health benefits from our employers and putting them fully in the hands of the insurance companies, We will no longer be able to have our employers pay for part of our health insurance,
I just went through this with my divorce, I had just returned to the workforce and my ex had just changed jobs so neither of us qualified for insurance for our son, yet we had to carry it, so we went through an insurance company, health insurance for our then 3 yr old with NO health problems was 200 + a month with a $20 co-pay at the Dr office and a annual deductible of $1000, that did NOT include prescriptions and did not include dental or vision.
Once I had been on the job long enough to qualify for health benefits my insurance for both of us ( through the same company) was $120 a month and a $15 co-pay for Dr visits and a $500 annual deductible, that included dental and vision.
This is what McCain calls a health care plan.

Pay attention Americans, here it is again in excerpts: “It is absolutely unbelievable that the healthcare plan he has proposed would cause millions of hardworking Americans to lose the coverage they already have,” Clinton said during a speech to the American Nurses Association convention in Washington, DC on Thursday.”
“McCain has proposed “market-based solutions” to move away from employer-based coverage to insurance bought by individuals.”

Badger1, if you don’t want her speaking for Obama, and I don’t either, help her raise the money to pay off her debt and let her start working for the next time. Or, just in case Obama bombs before the convention, she can be ready for this time. It would only take a few dollars from her 18 million supporters to pull her out of this.

“No No No Hillary, This is absolutely disgusting on your part. you yourself pointed out Obamas lack of experience, and shady associations. You yourself said that you…” blah blah, have you ever thought about it that maybe your candidate Clinton was just saying whatever she had to say to win and maybe she’s the liar.

If a Democrat votes Republican can that person still be called a Democrat? Voting against your own interest as a woman is simply stupid. Go vote for McCain, he needs you.

Would all you cynical conspiracy-minded haters just lay of the Clintons, HRC AND BO once and for al!!. As a life long Democrat I cannot see the point of splitting up the party with all of this hate and vitriol you are directing towards the candidate you didn’t support. And as for the fool McCain supporters out there, if ANYBODY is guilty of ruining this country it’s the Republican party. So leave go of your hate fellow Dems, open your eyes Repubs, and let’s come together, like HRC and BO are trying to do, and make some changes for the better!

patriot lady – Sorry but this primary process brought all of the filth of the democratic party to the forefront.From the DNC to the Rules and Bylaws comittee, to Hillarys delusional “sniper fire” account to the Obamas 20 year BLC membership. Obamas broken promises, lack of credible experience , far left ideology, etc etc etc. The Dems are a disgrace, from Dean to Pelosi, to Dodd, and Obama. Their push to get Hillary out of the race weeks before the final state had even voted, proved that they arent about the people, but about their own greedy agenda. They disgust me.

Badger1, I totally agree with your post to patriot lady. If there is not a change in leadership, I will become an Independant before the next election.

In the Primary, Hillary kept repeating that Obama’s plan was not universal and would leave out 15 milliion people. What has changed? The “change” artist?

McCain supporters, give it up. There’s no way in you-no-what you’re going to convince any of us to vote for someone that should be fishing from his rocking chair. Would you want your grandparent running the country? Even seniors don’t think he should be win.

I’m also a former supporter of Clinton who’s upset that she’s throwing her weight behind Obama. The reasons I voted for her and against Obama haven’t changed. While I think Obama is a decent person and means well, I don’t believe his under 4 years experience in the US Senate demonstrates to us what we can expect of him.
I get a kick out of people thinking their candidate is above lying to win the WH. Yes, we’ve seen it from Obama too people.

Nurses need to vote McCain, his healthcare plan was similar to Hillary’s in that it does not leave out 15 million Americans. Do nurses really want to help put a pro-partial birth abortion candidate into office? I should think not, absolutely not. With Obama’s plan to register women in the draft, do nurses support this – just say no and vote McCain!

McCain also flip-flopped om the campaign funding issue or do some of yuu just choose to ignore that little tidbit? What’s actually disturbing is the Swift Boat Media’s complete indifference to McCain’s bald-faced hypocrisy on the same issue. Amidst all the attacks on Obama’s “flip-flop,” how much have you read in the MSM about the fact that McCain has “completely reversed himself” on public financing — and is currently breaking the law on a daily basis, making a mockery out of a campaign finance system he helped create?
In the fall of 2007, McCain opted into the public financing system for the GOP primaries, which meant he’d later receive just over $5 million in public funds in exchange for agreeing to a fundraising limit of around $54 million for the entire primary process, which ends when he accepts the nomination at the Republican National Convention in September.
By late November, his campaign was practically broke, so McCain took out a pair of $1 million loans, using the public funds he would receive as collateral.
Cut to Super Tuesday, when McCain had the Republican nomination all but wrapped up. Suddenly, he didn’t want to be bound by that $54 million limit, so his campaign did a 180 and opted back out of the public financing system.
But as David Mason, the Republican-appointed chair of the FEC, has pointed out, you can’t just unilaterally opt out — especially after securing a loan based on having opted in. The response of the McCain campaign is quite simply to ignore Mason. And because the FEC currently lacks a quorum (thanks to stalling tactics by that human roadblock to reform, Mitch McConnell) that’s where things stand, pending a ruling on a lawsuit filed by the DNC.

C Good,
At this point, who’s best suited?

Ron – The Clintons have plenty of money, plenty of investments, and plenty of rich friends. If she is selling her soul to the Obama campaign for money to pay off a debt, then she is no better than he. She should stand strong in her conviction, and principles. Instead she is pimping her self out to a lying, dangerous, sexist, racist politician, all to help pay off a debt? As Bill Clinton would say, “GIVE ME A BREAK, This whole thing a fairytale”. The last person she should be trying to help is Barack Hussein (the creep) Obama.

Ummm, is this proof that you are a Rethug troll trying to cause your own little version of Operation Chaos? You don’t like O and, apparently, you don’t like Hill.

Did I read this article right? It is, “Clinton Calls on Nurses to Back Obama”, right? Why is there any mention of Rev. Wright, Father Pfleger, or Rezko? Rev. Wright is a RETIRED pastor, Pfleger was a VISITING preacher, and Rezko gave donations to all major candidates.

This is one nurse who will not vote for Obama. John McCain should pick the Govener of Louisiana for his Vice President. he want’s child molester’s casterated but prefer’s lethal injection..but i think he is a smart man..

You may want to check out http://www.2theadvocate.com, we’re about to recall old Booby Jindal, along with the legislators that just DOUBLED their pay and Booby refuses to veto the bill.

BruhMan – because these people only have hate to attack with – much easier to hate then post anything based on rational thinking.

sandy,
Agree. Seems to me Senator ran a brilliant campaign. He wasn’t my first choice 17-18 months ago. But, I must admit, I took to his message. I read his books, researched the (non)stories of Wright, Rezko, Ayers, and most recently Pfleger. I mostly enjoy the “empty suit” talk. For a man to graduate from TWO Ivy League colleges, become a Law Professor/Lecturer, state Senator, US Senator, author, husband, father, and first African American major party nominee…I guess we should all aspire to become so “EMPTY”.

Badger – do not even get me going on McCain’s flip-flops – the list is way too long for one blog. McCain broke his promise on campaign funding, is being sued because of it, and was criticized for his shanningans by the RNC chair. Senator Obama did not seat the Muslim women and did not know about it until after the fact, and he did not play the race card – that was Hillary’s and Bill’s card to play – it failed by the way. “And did I mention he is Black” was a brilliant political move – he pulled the Republicans rug right out from under them – Senator Obama negated the race card. Senator Obama is not perfect and will make mistakes as will his surrogates – I am just glad Charlie Black is not on his team. :) I love Obama’s campaign team. Quick and lethal. You can talk all you want but Senator Obama is not going to be swift-boated by people like you or the Republican Party.

BTW Badger, this is the vision that is driving force behind Trinity Church:
A congregation committed to ADORATION.
A congregation preaching SALVATION.
A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.
Does not sound like a radical church to me.

sandy,
This is a Fox News election. Instead of indiviual investment, we allow snippets, soundbites, and internet hoaxes pick our President. To assert that Senator Obama is not qualified based on three sermons by RETIRED REv. Wright, Bill Ayers releasing firecrackers at the NYPD Headquarters when Senator Obama was 8, or Rezko investing in land next to Senator Obama is absurd. What about Iraq, energy, jobs, economy, climate, healthcare, or OUR infrastructure? NO, we’d rather waste time on the superfulous BS. Twenty different variations of the same face, designed to keep us broke and in the same place. This isn’t an election, this is psychological warfare!!!

And Senator Obama squashed move-on. HE will be the one defending himself. When did Trinity become a racist church? I could see if you’ve had virgin ears and have not heard worse on the street. Come on, you can hear worse than Rev. Wright on HBO. That was the biggest non-issue I’ve ever seen. Plus, did you watch the ENTIRE sermon, not just the two seconds? I did, and I have absolutely no problem with it. And, I unashamedly, unapologetically support Senator Barack Hussein Obama.

Shame on you sandy, I see you provided a edited version of the Trinity church, “about us” page. You know better, you know that if you replaced the word black with white, and Africa with Europe you’d have a racist doctrine here is the complete veresion……………We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian… Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.
The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:
A congregation committed to ADORATION.
A congregation preaching SALVATION.
A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

….worshipping…

Bruhman – sandy is the one who brought up the Trinity church doctrine, but,,, sandy conveniently left out the part of the doctrine that is the most racially, and nationally divisive. As for blacks having the right to speak for itself, by all means, but what is good for the goose is good for the gander. If you took that doctrine and reversed black with white, and africa with europe it would be considered racist at best.

badger,
Did you know the Trinity congregation as a whole is 95% white?

sandy – What do the white churches that you say are part of Trinity have to do with the predominantly black congregation that Wright preached to? What if McCains church had a pro-white doctrine , where an admitted racist, separatist, bigot recieves the church’s lifetime achievment award? So, you say Obamas church did good deeds? Wow , I’m impressed, imagine that, a church that does some good deeds. Actually , there are many churches that do good deeds, but without the racially polarizing rhetoric, and without the anti-american sentiment. A church with that type of ideology is no place for a presidential candidate to be coming out of, especially one whose mantra is, bringing people together. Wright said it best “Barack is a politician, and will say whatever he has to.

badger,
Absolutely, Senator Obama is a politician. And, for that matter, he should be. Those “empty suit, politician, flip-flop” monikers are meaningless. And, actually, I would strongly suggest that Senator Obama has brought a more diverse core together better than Senator McCain. That can’t even be in question. BUt, badger1, vote for whoever you vote for and get whatever you get. The hardest thing in the world there is to do is change a mind. There will be no point at which you’ll support Senator Obama. He will be President, as would Senator McCain, for all of America. Not just Trinity Church, African Americans…this is ridiculous.

sandy,
Six weeks of G@d Damned Amerikka on Fox, CNN, MSNBC, and ABC. 30 minutes on G@d sent Hitler to be a hunter of Jews. Why was that? I know Rev. Wright was not an issue from the beginnig. That snippet served its political purpose for the moment, but now it’s not even mentioned except by Sean Hannity. Thr rest of the country has moved on. Senator Obama is a politician, it just us trying to make him be eveything to everyone. Has to be for black issues, has to appeal to white-working class, has to support guns, has to denounce his church, has to wear a flag lapel pin, has to show his birth certificate…GIVE ME A BREAK. Who would want to be subjected to that for YOU!!! I would be disgusted, and told a whole lot of folks to just KISS MY @SS and braid my pubic hair!!!

Tell me sandy, do you watch MSNBC much? I see you keep avoiding the tough questions sandy, just like your messiah, Barack. That is ok, they were rhetorical questions, I already know the answers. Your cherrypicking of the Trinity doctrine is pretty indicitive of your style. Oh, and the not so subtle playing of the race card. Shame on you sandy.

BruhMan – watch Dan Abrams (sp?) on MSNBC – he has one of the most balanced programs on cable. I was watching his program while blogging here – he does not put up with any of the sh$$ that some bloggers bring up – and he has asked many of the same questions you have asked. Why would anyone WANT to be president? But since this country needs one, I will support Senator Obama with all of my heart and my soul as well as my time and money. I have worked on his campaign tirelessly – I put my time and money where my mouth is – not like many bloggers on ABC who have nothing to do but spew hate and do nothing to support their candidate.

I am a Hillary Clinton supporter and I do not want her to become the Vice-President. She has many issues for which she is deeply passionate. Healthcare, education, the economy and women’s issues. She can best address those important topics from the floor of the United States Senate and not as Vice-President. She can become the “Lioness” of the Senate and remain a strong and determined voice for the issues that are important to her and her supporters.

Bruman – The media made way more about Pastor Hagees interpretation of the bible scripture than they shoud have. He really didnt say anything wrong. That wasnt a slight to Jews, nor was it and embracing of Nazis. The bible is full of interpretation, and of God seemingly doing controversial things that are justified in the end. Hagee is long standing friends supporter of jews. McCain was out of line to drop Hagees endorsement. Hagee wasnt honoring racists in his church, hagee didnt fly to Lybia with a racist to meet with anti- american finacier of terrorism. Hagee wasnt even McCains pastor. They have no personal relationship. NO COMPARISON.

Dennis Andrews – agreed – Hillary is a tenacouis fighter – I believe she would be more effective in the Senate or as Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare because of her stand on health care issues.

Bruman – Youre being terribly naive. If youre familiar with the old testament, God punished jews all the time. You havent a clue about hebrew/christian theology , do you? Hagee said nothing wrong.It was an interpretation, not his endorsment of what happened. Even Jews have made that interpretation. Was he preaching insults at blacks to the chagrin of high fivin white congregants? No, that stuff took place at Obamas black liberation church though.

BruhMan – bloggers like Badger are not concerned with facts, only hate. Hate clouds their minds so they can not see or realate to facts.
Eugene Robinson wrote a great article in the Washington Post this week – here it is:
Race in the Sunlight ….The Republican Party has a problematic history on race, beginning with Nixon’s “Southern strategy.” The era when the likes of the late Lee Atwater could overtly use race as a wedge issue is long gone. Today, any appeal to latent racial prejudice would have to be made more subtly…. Given the steadfast patriotism that African Americans have displayed since the nation’s founding, none of this makes historical sense. Since Obama has given his opponents little ammunition, they have focused on those who are close to him, beginning with his former pastor. Now some critics have turned to Obama’s “feisty” wife, whose image as a tall, strong, confident black woman can perhaps be made to seem threatening to some people. If there are voters who absolutely won’t support Obama because of his race, there’s not much he can do about it. But at least he can blow away all the smoke. He has served notice that he doesn’t intend to be Swift-boated on race the way John Kerry was on his war record — and that he will hit back even when attacks are more atmospheric than concrete. The Obama campaign made another move on this front last week when it began running a new television ad in a number of battleground states. In the ad, which is more about the candidate’s character than his policies, Obama speaks of his personal history and delivers a paean to traditional American values — while the viewer sees old family photos of his mother, who was white, and her parents, who helped raise him.
It’s hard to see the ad’s iconography as anything but a reminder that while Obama is firmly self-identified as African American, he is also biracial. He is a black man who speaks with great affection and admiration for his white grandparents, who look like Middle America personified. The message: Race may be thorny and complicated, but it’s no match for love.

The only media outlet that stayed on the Trinity/Wright/ Pfleger situations was FOX, the rest went out of their way to sweep it under the rug, and change the story. MSNBC is almost criminal in their unbridled support of Obama. Lets get back to basics. Baracks biggest knock originally was that he was too inexperienced to run for President. Barack countered that by claiming that he has “sound judgement to lead”, and that he was the “change ” candidate. Well, his decision to join , and remain in a racially polarizing church for 20 years, his willingness to work a suspicious real estate deal with now convicted Tony Rezko, even while Rezko was under investigation for corruption trump any kind of sound judgment. Obama considered Pfleger his moral compass. Is that sound judgment? If Obama cant choose a church that isnt divisive , and spiritual guides who arent racial, and political, if he cant choose a VP vetting team, how ia he going to choose an administration?

badger,
My point exactly…Rev. Wright said nothign wrong either. God punished the world, and that’s the pont Wright was making about 9/11. And yes I know the Bible, well enough thank you.

badger,
You’ve made no sense at all today. Regroup for tomorrow, because Wright, Rezko, Pfleger, and Ayers are not even close to being issues worth voting, or not voting for someone.

Everyone else, notice Hillary urged nurses to support Senator Obama? I guess McCain will find some way to criticize that. Plus, he contributed $2,300 to her campaign. Talk about elitest…whew, they may be on to something.

NoTrust,
Hillary’s plan didn’t even work the last time Hillary tried it. Come on, get a life. If you don’t have healthcare as of right now, you need a new job!!!

As for you sandy, can you say EXPOSED? How does it feel ? :D

If I hear “nievety” one more time this year, it’ll be one too many. Let’s see…
Graduated from Ivy League Columbia (nievety)
Graduated from Harvard Law School (nievety)
Constitutional Law Prof. University of Chicago (nievety)
Illinois State Senator (nievety)
US Senator (nievety)
Democratic Party Nominee for President of the United States (nievety)
I wish I had some nevety!!!

NoTrust – there are good points in both Hillary’s and Senator Obama’s plans but neither will cut the mustard. They need a collaborative effort to pound out something that will actually work. Now calm down – Hillary has – so should you. She campaigned her heart out but it is over – she is going to be a tenacious fighter in the Senate or in Obama’s cabinet.

Bruhman – Nobody said Obama was naive. It is many of his supporters who seem to be,, and what does Obamas education have to do with his character? Not a damn thing, obviously.

Nurses KNOW how dangerous a person can be when making intelligent thinking decisions….when they have been abusing their minds & bodies with crack, pot, ect. Most addicts don’t stay off the stuff for Long & Wealthy People in High places have a easier time of hiding their addictions. Our Country’s Future is Too important to Risk Obama.

sandy, seeing how you want to clown a war veteran – Maybe you better get with, Barack, and explain to him that , there are only 50 states in this country, not 57. Then you might want to teach him the difference between, Memorial Day, and Veterans Day, and while youre at it, let him know that Canada doesnt have a President, but a Prime Minister. Oh heck, why stop there,, Somebody please let Barry know that he was born in 61, and the civil rights march in Selma, Alabama took place in 65, so his touchy, feel good story that his daddy, and mama concieved him as a tribute to that march, is nothing but political pandering to the black commuity, and disrespect for not even knowing the history of that event. By the way, has Barack gotten that geat uncle – uncle, concentration camp thing straightened out yet?

…believe half the crap…

NoTrust,
Take the advice, reading your posts, you could sure use it.
WOW

Anybody notice the United States lifted terrorist status against North Korea today and got NOTHING (as in appeasement) in return? That was blamed on Senator Obama, by the way. This is getting ridiculous. On Fox News one of their brilliant “reporters” said this was the first act of the Obama Administration. What a bunch of idiots.

BruhMan – come on! You and I have had a great conversation tonight. Do not fall to the level of other bloggers here. These are people who are still poor losers – they do not want to discuss issues or the pros or cons of the candidates – all they want is to spew hate — let them. I listened to Hillary tonight when she and Obama met with Hillary’s supportors. Everyone there said how well the two of them interacted, the great body language they exhibited, they both received rousing applause, were very gracious to each other, and Obama was received heartedly by Hillaary’s supporters. Hillary and Obama were much more grown-up and adult-like than many of the bloggers here.

sandy,
I think it would be great politically if he chose her VP. But, something inside wants to see what he can do without her as VP.
And yes that was not one of my greater blog moments, and I apologize if anyone was offended.

Separate But Equal is not a crime!!!

How pathetic are these paranoid delusionist who are born and bred to play the race card. NEWSFLASH, Obama is unfit not because he is half white, but because he is a jr senator who hails fron Chicago, home of black nationalism, and the Trinity church , home of black liberation theology. We dont want this racist bigot to be calling shots in this country, he should pack up his family, and run for office on the continent he made his church required non-negotiable commitment to, Africa

sandy,
Gotta go, it’s getting late. Happy voting and see you in November.

Sandy, How Much Is Obama Paying You to Blog? Since your so secure / insecure with a paying job, you’ll say AnyThing. Just like Obama, say now, pay later.

Feeling used Obama supporters, I know I am! Third Party Now, Third Party Tomorrow , Third Party Forever!!! This from an Obama supporter up until I found out he’s just another moneyed elite playing right into the Clinton, Corporate machine! Nader/Gonzalez is the only choice the majority have.
