The Shape of Things to Come
By Fleaflicker on March 24, 2008 at 11:32 PM in 9/11, Al Qaeda, Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Cults, Exelon, Obama, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., hate speech
Sometimes things are so obvious that they pass us by without notice. Perhaps it is because they are so blatantly true that we choose not to acknowledge them. Or maybe it is that because they challenge our preheld conceptions so strongly that we choose to ignore their reality. Because otherwise we would feel bewildered, alone and helpless.
I know that many who once supported Senator Obama are in complete shock over the revelations of his 20 year intimate association with a bigot and a racist. It doesn’t fit into the mold of who we think Barack Obama is. His pastor surely doesn’t preach the “message” of hope that Obama is associated with. In fact his pastor preaches what one could only define as hate. But just why is it that we so strongly believe that Senator Obama has a message of hope and a new kind of politics? In the preface of his book The Audacity of Hope which he patterned after a sermon of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright, Obama gives us a glimmer of an answer.
“I am new enough on the national political scene that I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views. As such, I am bound to disappoint some, if not all, of them.”
You see, Senator Obama believes that if enough people project their views of what he should be onto him that he will be able to take advantage of their ignorance and become elected to the highest office of the most powerful nation on earth. That is the more subtle message to what Obama states plainly. But he won’t tell you that because doing so would cause you to wake up and realize that he is just taking advantage of your hope and your faith in him to hoodwink you into giving him the reins to power.
How else do you explain his oft-cited ability to bring people together? Does he have any experience whatsoever of doing this in a legislative body? Has he used his supposedly remarkable skills to bring an end to the partisan bickering and stalemate on Capitol Hill? Has he been able to work across the aisle and bring people together to end the Iraq war? Has he been able to work across the aisle to do anything other than water down regulatory legislation so much that it becomes unnecessary while at the same time taking money from the industry he was supposed to be regulating?
Unfortunately the answer to all these questions is a simple word: NO!
And yet still we hear from pundits and political hacks how Obama has the ability to do this and that without a shred of evidence that he has ever demonstrated the slightest capacity to do so. Not a shred of evidence. In fact many of his supporters when asked what his legislative achievements are seem bewildered and begin to stutter just like he is so famous for doing. Because quite simply they cannot answer the question. Truthfully.
So we are to take his word that he has these abilities because why? Because he tells us he can? Because people say that he can? Because his opponent and/or her husband are such terrible people? Because we may never again have the chance?
It seems there are no easy or substantial answers. Because to answer these questions based on the evidence requires not only a willing suspension of disbelief, it requires a huge leap of faith. And faith is an article of religion not politics.
So to form our judgments we are left with the truth. And the truth is that Senator Obama has a pattern of associations with unsavory characters. And I am being generous and polite. What follows is one of the most recent videos making it’s way around the internet. It includes clips I have not seen before that I find revolting and entirely offensive. And I am a Democrat.
America is the same as Al Qaeda?
What this type of information in the hands of the Republican machine and their money will do is beyond anyone’s comprehension. Mark my words, if we are so unfortunate to have this man as our candidate we will need to redefine the term swiftboating for an entire generation.
It’s all true. Always has been. Mac Johnson let fly at him months ago. Sized him up perfectly. The same thing we all see. But in contrast to us here who actually think now and again the sheeple out there who are so easily bamboozled by his cheap tricks… He’s a two bit hypester and he can keep the change.
GREAT line!
“He’s a two bit hypester and he can keep the change.”
Wonder which Washingon church the big BO will choose if he’s lucky enough to become POTUS?
Maybe it’s that time of the month but this Wright stuff is making me so sad. Obama is going to win the primaries, get slaughtered in November thanks to Wright, and both the Democrats and African Americans will suffer for years to come.
At times I get sad, but more typically I become enraged.
oh strawberry, hang out for a week plus and check again..you’ll be mad if the same conditions exist…it isn’t you.
Larry,
I hope I may call you by your first name…although we have not met - I read your blog every day and I reall admire how you pull all this info together.
A suggestion - As Obama and his surrogates keep pushing for Hillary to quit the race - maybe we should all start pushing for Obama to follow in his mentor’s [one of his many highly ethical mentors] footsteps - in this case Joe Lieberman - and tell him to run as an independent.
What can we do to bring Hillary more positive coverage? I am planning to go down to Pennsylvania on 4/19 to help….but there must be something big we can do and get noticed.
I prefer to just take the guy down so we can save our party and win the presidency.
I do feel sort of sorry for all the young people being pulled in to Obamanation. Once he is exposed as the marketed charlatan he is, they will probably stay out of politics the rest of their lives.
Hillary is going to pull this out because with our help he’s not going to be able to keep his past in the shadows any longer.
Thank you to everyone here for doing the job the Corporate Press won’t.
And, Senator Obama, we have been disappointed. Most, if not all, of us.
It does appear that Obama’s chickens have come home to roost.
God that video is hard to watch, and I already saw all the Reverend Wright videos. The way it’s edited together is really powerful, and not in a good way. How can Obama believe he can be President with his past? What are Dean, Pelosi, Kerry and Kennedy thinking? I have to believe they know about his past, but they are still pushing for him. I’m starting to think they could care less about winning the Presidency, and that it’s more important for them to destroy the Clintons. I was talking to my parent’s friends this past weekend who have always been heavily involved in politics, and they seem to believe that Gore is somehow going to be in play at the convention. Now I would not be surprised if that happens. I’ve already decided that I’m going to become an Independent. I can’t relate to the DNC leadership at all.
What are Dean, Pelosi, Kerry and Kennedy thinking?”,
They aren’t,this is why Bush can still pimp slap Congressional Democrats at will on a number of issues.
And they wonder why in the polls Congress rates lower than Cheney.
They are a disgrace and out of touch. Too many limosine rides, state dinners and sycophants telling them how great they are.
They don’t get Obama is already radioactive now and will sink the party in the GE should he get the nomination.
If Obama gets the nom and loses the GE, which I predict, I am sure the DNC and the MSM will blame the Clintons. Pelosi and pals just don’t get it!
I agree and I have been a loyal democrat for my entire life but I am simply disgusted this year. For the most part people have just drank the cult Obamalaid but as for Kennedy, Kerry, & Pelosi it is totally childish temper tantrums because of some wrong they think the Clintons have done to them personally. It is scary and disgusting to think these petty little people have been running our country all these years!
We should have it made this year! All we should be doing is reminding people of how good it was for them and the country in the 90’s but instead we have democrats comparing Bill Clinton to Bush and Nixon and talking about how the republican party is the party of ideas and a possible nominee that compares himself with JFK and Reagan (were they alike in any way?) and distancing himself from Clinton!
Chris Matthews kept asking Bill Richardson today what exactly caused Richardson to go from the Clinton camp to the Obama camp, after being a member of the Clinton administration.
Richardson couldn’t give a direct answer. He finally admitted he didn’t know why he chose Obama, other than Obama’s alleged charisma. Richardson looked really stupid when he couldn’t answer a simple question.
I read a rumor here earlier that he did it because Obama contributed heavily to Richardson’s reelection campaign. I have no way of proving this. But I agree, Richardson isn’t doing this for a legitimate reason.
“I read a rumor here…”
“I have no way of proving this…”
“But…[he] isn’t doing this for a legitimate reason.”
What the hell? Are you even listening to the little voice inside you head which should be telling you that this string of words indefensible?
As someone who has worked for years to ‘determine the truth’ in matters of grave importance, I cannot fathom why you would choose to reference what you acknowledge is a rumor, state that you cannot prove the rumor, but add that—by inference—you know that the actor isn’t “…doing this for a legitimate reason?”
Please tell me how this sort of thinking separates you from the widely acknowledged ‘crazies’ who swoon at the feet of Senator Obama?
How about something like…
“I believe that Governor Richardson has abandoned Senator Clinton and offered his endorsement of Senator Obama largely because his campaign is saddled with unpaid debt, he has received substantial contributions from Senator Obama or his allies to help eliminate this debt, and I suspect that he is showing his gratitude by offering the endorsement.”
It would, of course, be helpful if you actually reported the unpaid debt both before and after any contributions from Senator Obama, his political action committee or his campaign, and were able to find an acceptable source which reports that such contributions took place, in what amounts and when they were tendered.
Geez, take a chill pill Jill.
I heard that this was true and I stated that I had no proof of it. Last I checked reporting facts weren’t a crime.
I found Richardson’s decision to endorse suspect from the start. And even he can’t give anyone a solid reason for the decision. I don’t know why he did it. For all I know he did it so his name would show up in print. Who frickin knows.
If I meant to smear him I would have alleged what you stated. I didn’t.
What? Are we back in middle school here?
There is nothing criminal in your conduct, nor was there any such accusation. But, inferring that something is indeed a fact, by pointing out the fact that you heard a rumor, does not itself make the content of that rumor factual.
Nice try.
Stating something to the effect of what I offered would not have been ’smearing’ Governor Richardson. It would have been a reasonable account of your observations and beliefs, if supported by facts and conclusions. It need not actually be true: it would, however, need to be reasonable, supportable and defensible. Stating what you did—reinforcing a completely unsubstantiated rumor and passing it on without attribution—is actually akin to smearing this individual.
You do not seem to get how you weaken your otherwise important and substantive claims by injecting such information into the discussion.
Scuse me….but the word rumor does not imply fact. Not sure what middle school you went to but it is obvious that you didn’t graduate.
Here, let me break it down for you. I apologize in advance for all the big words.
Definition of rumor:
1: talk or opinion widely disseminated with no discernible source
2: a statement or report current without known authority for its truth
Now, in case you don’t know, the phrase “no discernible source” means that something is unproven. So does the phrase “without known authority.” And UNPROVEN implies that something ISN’T a FACT!
Now report to the principle’s office for an after school suspension.
What?????????? You mean they let him go on TV and didn’t give him a script with stage directions?
LOL!
I watched the repeat of Matthews show to see exactly what Richardson did say.
In response to Matthews direct question asking Richardson why he was voting for Obama: Richardson said Obama “presents something new, presents change” and then Richardson added he “can’t put his finger on it.” (the reason why)
What a effing fool Richardson is. Someone needs to play that clip as a “typical.Obama.Supporter”
Please tell me what we can do to bring more of this truth to light?
My intention is not to bash, but I have felt from the very beginning that Barack Obama is not what he seems and that he is not the right leader of for this country at this time.
Can we contact superdelegates — forward this info to them — would it matter? Please somebody tell me they are looking at and noticing this too and not just being insulated and buying into MSM talking points.
Whenever news programs fawn over him, I am so mystified — perhaps being a NYer I am naturally suspicious — but it just makes me want to ask — who is actually the ‘Oz’ who is behind the curtain. What is their agenda in pushing forward someone with no experience and who does not even seem to have a hunger and a passion for the job of CiC. It just feels to me like ambition for ambition’s sake. I am honestly not trying to be nasty. This has just been my gut reaction to him from day one.
My best advice is to disseminate the information widely. The more people that read about it and comment about it, the bigger the stir caused in the blogosphere, the more likely the MSM will be forced to pick the story up. Report it on the MSM blogs. Eventually people will begin asking hard questions and the MSM will report on it if only to make it seem as if they are meaningful.
I believe Obama will be Kerry, Kennedy and Daschle’s puppet much like Bush was for the Repub party. Obama is way over his head but his advisors will run the party while his ego gets stroked. I believe the DNC is behind him because they think he will bring many new and young people into the party. However, now that he is being vetted, he has become radioactive and the DNC and the advisors are stuck with egg on their faces. This will be the downfall of our party but I am sure they will blame this all on the Clintons.
Call the DNC 1.202.863.8000
Ask to speak with a live person and calmly state your concerns. The Dallas Morning News recently printed the resluts of a study showing most Obama voters did NOT cast a vote in any of the down ticket races in the Texas primary.
Pelosi needs to know this also. 202.225.4965
I didn’t even get started on the sexism part of their blindness.
More of what truth?
Excellent post, Fleaflicker. And thanks for including that video–a very powerful montage.
I just saw a post from a kool aid drinker on mydd today saying something like, that Rev Wright stuff took up one weekend and is all over now. Obama’s speech put it all to rest.
That scares me. Why do they want that guy in office? I’m not prone to hyperbole and I think Obama is a danger to our country, internally and externally.
What are people thinking? BTW, did you read Bud White’s piece on Obama, Wright and Racsim at mydd today? It’s a nice complement to yours.
Thank you. Yes, I did read the diary yesterday. For some reason i can’t find it today. If you have the link can you please post it here?
The Obamanut Cultists are delusional believing this Wright story will go away any time soon.
Here’s the link to White’s piece. I think his analysis of Obama speaking in code is brilliant.
http://www.mydd.com/story/2008/3/24/18514/0740
Keep posting your good work, Fleaflicker!
I’m sorry Mary Jo, but you and Fleaflicker both continue to push this childishly simplistic view of things… “because Obama went to that church, or associated with Wright - he shares and endorses the views that were stated 6 years ago in that taped sermon”. Next I suppose you’ll say that the church has scrubbed all sermons and other media out there to hide the virulent views? LOL
Does every catholic agree w/ the Pope (or their own priest’s) views? Does every Baptist agree w/ the Baptist conventions views on the submission of women to men? Do all evangelicals agree w/ the views of Hagee, Falwell, Robertson, et al???? NO
Come on people - we need to honestly and openly discuss the topic(s) at hand and vet each one of the candidates for what they are - job applicants, not contestants on American Idol for pete sake
Kevin,
You do no let your children be taught to hate a group of people unless you hate that group of people!
You do not make statements like “for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country” & “typical white woman” without having some of the same BAD beliefs as the Reverend Wright! I wouldn’t stay in a church or anywhere else for 20 minutes listening to that kind of anti-white, anti-black, anti-American, or anti-anyone else teaching let alone 20 years. And I sure wouldn’t take my children there after knowing what kind of things may be said in front of them!
Excellent post, as always. Thanks!
Here’s something that’s a real eye-opener about how Wall Street is funding Obama and why:
The Obama Bubble: Why Wall Street Needs a Presidential Brand
http://www.blackagendareport.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=548&Itemid=34
Excerpt:
Why do Wall Street and the corporate law firms think they will find a President Obama to be accommodating? As the Black Agenda Report notes, “Evidently, the giant insurance companies, the airlines, oil companies, Wall Street, military contractors and others had closely examined and vetted Barack Obama and found him pleasing.”
That vetting included his remarkable “yes” vote on the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005, a five-year effort by 475 lobbyists, despite appeals from the NAACP and every other major civil rights group. Thanks to the passage of that legislation, when defrauded homeowners of the housing bubble and defrauded investors of the bundled mortgages try to fight back through the class-action vehicle, they will find a new layer of corporate-friendly hurdles.
Yoikes Nobama!! That’s some scary stuff. Why oh why can’t the Obamanation see this guy for what he is? :/
The article is from March 5, and this is the first time I’ve seen it linked anywhere. Cripes.
I ask you: how can you or anyone else deny the genocide of native Americans which during settlement and expansion as predominantly whites of European descent moved westward across our nation? Death at the hands of US calvary who in many well documented cases slaughtered men, women and children in order to subjugate the survivors and appropriate the lands upon which they had roamed freely? Primarily for—not surprisingly—the corporatists of the day, including ranchers, cattlemen and the rail barons?
How about the many tens or even hundreds of thousands who died during World War II at our hands, as we relentlessly firebombed Dresden and Tokyo, and unleashed nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Were those not acts of genocide? Are those lives simply expendable - the taking justified as some sort of unfortunate collateral damage in our life and death battle with the forces of evil?
Do these examples, perpetrated at our hand, constitute genocide any less so than the acts of Amin in Uganda, Pol Pot in Cambodia or Suharto in Indonesia?
Are you saying that when others engage in such maniacal homicide that it is genocide, and when we do so, that it is not?
You are a loony tune. No one denies our past history. Hell, I am part Cherokee. So no, I don’t deny the attempted genocide. But that fact doesn’t change the other fact that I believe in and support the Constitution and love my country.
Look… I will spell it out for you. When fighting against a greater evil you fight frickin wars and do horrible things. I don’t agree with A LOT of some of the crap our government has done but we didn’t set out to target innocent civilians in the name of some frickin blasphemy. So take your Al Qaeda sympathizing ass and skedaddle before you make me mad.
And you wouldn’t like me when I’m mad.
Whoa. Deny the ‘…attempted genocide?” Attempted? Are you serious?
Let’s put this in perspective. I don’t know you, and you don’t know me. But, I can assure you that I a neither a ‘looney tune’ or one the least bit interested in supporting the candidacy of Senator Obama. I am, however, a 56 year old white male, Vietnam-era veteran with with five years of active duty and ten years of active reserve component duty in the US Army, the bulk of it spent as a military police and military intelligence officer. I also spent thirteen years as a police officer in the eleventh largest metropolitan police agency in the nation.
Ever spent any time in a military component? Working on the street actually supporting the Constitution and defending a community against the behavior of bad guys? Hmm…
“My Al Qaeda sympathizing ass?” coupled with the mildly veiled “… skedaddle before you make me mad. And you wouldn’t like me when I’m mad.” threat?
So that’s what your argument has come down too? Pitiful.
Michael Lafferty: Are you a Nazi sympathizer?
Because you either don’t know WWII (and WW I) history or you know but sympathize with the Holocaust and all other actions of the Third Reich and its supporting alies.
Michael,
“unleashed nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? “…”Are those lives simply expendable”…
No, those lives are not simply expendable, nor are the lives in Nanking, China.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_Massacre
Read what Japanese troops did to innocent Chinese civilians. My Chinese friends all deplore the use of nuclear weapon, but they are grateful it ended the war.
I ask this, because in the video clip you embedded, a question is posed: “How can someone who seeks to lead our nation take spiritual guidance from someone who believes America to be guilty of genocide?”
And I would ask, how can an educated individual NOT believe America to be guilty of genocide? Our checkered history is rich with examples.
And yet, you say…
“Sometimes things are so obvious that they pass us by without notice. Perhaps it is because they are so blatantly true that we choose not to acknowledge them. Or maybe it is that because they challenge our preheld conceptions so strongly that we choose to ignore their reality.”
But you too, I presume, would deny American genocide?
Michael Lafferty -
Thanks for the tiny bit of history completely out of context. In the interest of fairness, you may want to note that more than a few of those Native Americans were killing settlers.
And that was more than a few years ago. Andrew Jackson the Great Indian fighter was the most popular man in the nation. He was considered a “common man” and is the only man to have an era named after him in American political history. He was only the 7th President! It was 1828. Completely different times.
And the Japanese were slaughtering Chinese people.
Do you have a clue how horrible the Pacific theater was?
I suggest that you visit the WWII Museum in New Orleans.
No, the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were never intended to destroy all of the Japanese. Not even close.
Those bombs were intended to spare the lives of millions of Americans, Chinese, Japanese, etc.
I take great exception with your childish analysis.
Comparing the acts of Idi Amin and Pol Pot to Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton is despicable.
I agree that thousands of Africans and Muslims continue to do horrible things to their people - especially women.
But Rev. Wright thinks they’re okey dokey.
BO meddled with an election in Kenya involving his cousin which nearly ended in genocide.
Mr. Rafferty,
If you think that railing against America for our many past and present sins is called for, perhaps you could encourage Barack to say these same things in his stump speeches. Cut with the creme-filled promises and let’s get right to the meat. I’d be very interested in seeing your candidate (I presume Obama is your man) say the things about America that his friend, mentor, pastor, and spiritual leader says at the next debate in Pennsylvania.
Bring it on, Barack. Don’t hold back. Tell us what you really think. On the record.
P.S. The Brits fire-bombed Dresden. Gen. Sherman was right.
“I presume Obama is your man?”
On what basis? Because I encourage reasoned discourse and discourage the sort of rabid conversion evident here?
Nice try. I am on record on this very blog an others having made statements to the effect that as a Democrat, I am excited that a woman and a black man are seeking the Democratic nomination, but that she is the wrong woman, and he is the wrong black man! Neither would be my enthusiastic elective choice, but—as I have repeatedly stated in other threads—Senator Clinton receives my support, and not Senator Obama.
That should not disqualify me for calling the actions of some here—actually, many here—as more similar to the actions of those many Obama supporters who engage in the same sort of diatribe, than not. What ever happened to pointing our the strengths of one candidate and the comparative weaknesses of the other, while engaging in reasoned conversation?
It is becoming difficult to differentiate the posts here at No Quarter from those at the ‘Great Orange Satan’ - it’s rapidly becoming only the identity of the intended target that distinguishes one blog from the other.
Then you just like to argue for argument’s sake?
Apologies for assuming you were one of the Flying Monkeys from the Land of Orange.
As a student of history, the issues you raise are legitimate, but as my post above points out, political suicide. The US elects MAINSTREAM candidates to be POTUS. The preaching/teaching at Jeremiah Wright’s church is far outside of the mainstream (but then, so is the UCC).
JFK was the closest thing to an “out of the mainstream” candidate we have elected in the previous century (although one could make a stronger case for Teddy Roosevelt… but he was a larger-than-life “hero”). Obama is no JFK. Not remotely.
We have three candidates remaining to be POTUS. Two of them are electable, one is not. That “one” is on his way to securing the Democratic nomination due to a compliant media and a jiggered nominating process (I’m not saying it’s jiggered for and by Obama, but that it’s jiggered in a way he has been uniquely able to take advantage of). His nomination, and the crushing electoral defeat he will experience, will render such damage to the Democratic Party that it may well not recover for a decade or two. The fragile liberals+working class coalition will be destroyed. The lingering resentment of the AA community will have far reaching repercussions. The non-Cuban Hispanic vote will be ripe for the picking with a pro-immigration Republican POTUS from a border state. The Unions are history, period. They can no longer muster the manpower or the cash to offset the Corporate interests.
A better plan to destroy the Democratic Party than Barrack Obama’s campaign couldn’t be imagined.
Flying Monkeys from the Land of Orange.
Or a knight from Ni? Just kidding…NI! NI! NI!
To your point…as fate would have it, dollars to donuts, we are going to have color codes re-instituted just for the election…so you might add the fear factor in your equation as well.
Why don’t you leave the U.S. since you hate it and the people who live here?
I’m sure the enlightened nations of China, Iran or North Korea would love having you as a citizen.
Let me stop this discussion by getting to the real heart of the problem: Barack Obama has coopted the tortured history of black Americans just to get elected POTUS. He aligned himself with this minister in his desperate search for authentic AA identity of which he has NONE because he was raised by his mother and grandparents who are Caucasians. His black heritage is a direct line to the continent of Africa, in Kenya, not America.
I’m AA and I would be the last somebody to dispute America’s checkered past. But Obama wants to be president of all the people and the hate rhetoric of Rev Wright has no place in the national discourse of American politics, just as the hate politics of white racists who would argue just the opposite.
Obama came on the stage as an agent of change and hope. It’s simply pointless to argue the validity of Wright’s view on America’s history when his disciple has been projecting a completely different profile. The hisorical truth has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Obama, the candidate for the highest of office of the land.
This is about Obama! Not history!
He stayed in that church because he is confused! And he’s angry about having been deprived of an ethnic identity that he is FORCED to wear in a society that still has not made peace with racism.
Fine. But nothing about us electing him president will change this. That is his personal goal and if anything, he’s trying to keep his DNA from being an impediment to achieving that goal.
That’s his problem. Just as is his lack of a cohesive black identity. My AA identity is just fine, thank you very much. And I don’t see why we have to elect someone who is so conflicted and still coming to grips with his ethnic heritage.
Let him work that out as a private citizen not as POTUS. Especially since for me, nothing in Obama’s resume is on par with HRC. I want someone who has at least been exposed to the inner circles of power, to the diplomatic world, and someone who certainly has been in the Senate 6 more years than he has and has served at least one full term.
Trivialize and mock HRC’s CV all you want, it still won’t inflate Obama’s.
And that’s the BOTTOM LINE!
Obama’s ghostwriter wrote: “I am new enough on the national political scene that I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views. As such, I am bound to disappoint some, if not all, of them.”
Does this, in effect, mean that his principal campaign promise is to disappoint those who vote for him? And who can complain? The guy admits as much in a book.
Freudian Slip…??
You make a good point retired..Maybe thats what Obama was thinking..and it slipped out..
“I AM BOUND TO DISAPPOINT SOME..(IF NOT ALL) OF THEM..” ****Suckers****
Excellent Point Retired..Thanks ..and Good Nite..
The “suckers” part is evident.
Another canvas for the painters, Retired?
In oil I would guess. Fits with what you said to a tee.
It’s Hagatha Powers and Ghoulsee in spades. You can’t trust a word the guy says. Not only do people project on him, he encourages their projections. Everything has an out.
To answer your queston-the OZ is Pelosi. She is out (vandetta) to get Hillary and has a personal agenda to be president herself, or at least vice president. She is behind this as well as Kerry. Will they be shocked when this whole charade boomerangs on them and Hillary is the nominee. LOL
What’s so funny about this all is they all think they’ll be Vice president including Richardson. They are all being bamboozled by BO. Richardson too. BO will hire all his black cronies.
BO remarked he wanted to hire Bill Clinton for his cabinet because he is a genius. Behind every great man is usually a great woman (Hillary). BO acts so sure that he will win. It sounds like he knows this is rigged. Donate to Hillary. We need a landslide. BO is the only one who has not signed the revote/seat the delegates. Hillary and DNC signed the go ahead and Hillary even raised the money to pay for it. Please spread the word. BO would not sign to seat the delgates in FL & MI. He is stopping the voices of FL & MI.
No Oblahma.
Boycott sponsors as well as the TV show themselves. This is the only way to get the truth out. A boycott started against sponsors and then we started to hear the truth. Now we are back to the lies. Contact sponsors and let them know you will not be buying their products unless they stop the lies about Hillary. Pass the word. Repost.
Something happens and we will all write in Hillary. But we need that landslide now. Donate please.
BO will hire all his black cronies.
You maybe correct about the cronies but the color of the skin is not relevant. Is it?
No it is not. Besides, Barack would be hiring someone else’s cronies. I don’t think he has much say in those matters (just like W doesn’t).
His white University of Chicago free market disaster capitalists and the Illinois political hack club are what terrifies me.
You got it.
And Obama is equal opportunity employer of cronies. He’s very progressive in this department.
Thanks, Ray. Yes,I donate regularly and send letters and emails of complaint regularly to these stations and papers passing the b.s. I agree — we all need to up the ante - I keep writing to Dean and Pelosi and Brazile et al telling them to seat the FL and MI delegates otherwise they don’t get my vote. Sending such letters to papers and SDs seems to be prudent too.
Um, that’s…
Speaker Pelosi, or Congresswoman Pelosi. And, it’s Senator Clinton, Senator Kerry, Senator Obama and Governor Richardson. As well as, President Clinton or former President Clinton. Show some class, please.
And, the work is ‘vendetta.’
And just what the hell does this mean? “BO will hire all his black cronies.”
Do you have any idea what that sounds like or suggests to a reasonable person? A simple count on your several fingers would suggest that his ‘cronies’ are more white, than non-white, including black. You are headed dangerously over the edge here.
Take a deep breath, try to think like an adult, and try again.
What a snotty response from someone who purports to have class.
I think that actually what he meant to purport is that he is an ass. And he just spelled it wrong.
Blog much? uhhh this is a blog, not the NY Times. We don’t have a style sheet here. Get over it…
Excuse me - it’s late. That should have read “…the word is ‘vendetta.’
Susan? Larry? is there a hall monitor here somewhere? We certainly seem to need one…
The hall monitors are all over at Daily Kos.
Obama’s Oz is Wall Street. Please read the article Nobama linked upthread.
Here it is again, because it is THAT important!
The Obama Bubble: Why Wall Street Needs a Presidential Brand
They think they have bought their “get out of jail free” card. As the Rezko trial is showing, everything in Chicago politics is for sale, so Wall St has simply joined the club.
IMO, Wall Street is unstable.
Speaking of overestimating your power, when you’re ( wall street collective) that drunk, and that clueless, and not too smart to begin with, and you have no internal system of morals to support and guide you, you’re easy to lead, easy to con.
I just can’t help but see Wall Street as the weak link here, despite the illusion of power that comes with cash.
Money can’t buy you intellect.
This is what may come as you continue to waste your time talking about a losing and lying candidate
YES CEE..
We should all be doing Organic gardening and making our own Bio Diesel..
People can’t even get in the door very well..There is so much Shit swept under the Rug..
Takes Our Minds off that “Mushroom Cloud” Eh..
Kirk to Enterprise…
And the “talking about a losing and lying candidate” refers to the precious one, as he is the only candidate out there that will ultimately fit that bill.
Cee, are purposely off topic or you just didn’t understand what was the post about?
Jen.. I read this before..
So..How is taht going to work..The AG and the DFBI and DCI..and Law Enforcement would have to be so corrupt and Controlled..it would make th 1920s and 1930’s look like a Warm..
I just don’t think that particular scenario can happen..
Of course it’s more than just one reason. All of this can be verified. Pelosi is very jealous of Hillary. Pelosi is also very afraid of Bush and has not pushed through one single solitary bill. Her accomplishments are a big fat zero. The post above refering to the class action suits pertaining to the mortgages is true too, as a motivating factor to blocking Hillary..The criminals in the loan business fear that Hillary will back the class action lawsuit agianst lenders. Therefore, they are choosing to back BO monetarily thinking they will not be held accountable if BO gets in. BO camp just wants to hear the whining from Hillary supporters and will attack when anyone speaks the truth. They will try and make it look like you spell wrong or don’t know how to write. Pay no attention. As long as the truth gets out is all that matters. There’s more.
Today Hillary came out and announced that she will offer some type of immunity to the lenders. She had no choice I guess.
BO supporters are not funding his campaign like he likes others to think. College kids, hippies, druggies and lost angry men just don’t have the money that BO collects in donations. The enlightened are not part of his campaign.
“Pelosi is also very afraid of Bush and has not pushed through one single solitary bill.”
You need to take off the tin foil hat and settle down. You are yanking the rug out from under your claims when you make such a patently false statement. Why should anyone read further to determine what you have to say when you say something as idiotic as that?

Which bills has Pelosi pushed through - quick name them all…
