Unelectable Morning Open Thread: RNC Obama Ads
By Uppity Woman on May 26, 2008 at 9:05 AM in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Gas Prices, Jimmy Carter
Democrats will lose in November if we nominate Obama. The GOP is ready, and they have four ads on Obama waiting in the queue. Consider this an open thread on Obama’s unelectability.

Lets don’t forget the Chicago Combine Board Games pay to play schemers, of which Barack Obama was a player. He is just another corrupt Illinois politician, who will make George Bush pale by comparison. Evelyn Pringles contention that if nominated it will be equivalent to throwing the election by the DNC.

the above link references part 5 of the series on obama and his chicago dirty pay for play business involvement.
Here is a link to the final chapter and all of the other parts of the article series:

Yes, and all THAT, while his “backers” made millions and his poor constituents in his own district literally had no heat.
He ain’t nuthin new.
What electability? “You are a racist if you don’t vote for Obama” won’t work because A. most people aren’t racists and the know it; or B. many of the rest are racist and proud of it. (Regardless wo what the trolls will inevitably say, the readership here comes from category A.) Obama has nothing else to recommend him. So no thinking person will vote for him.
That’s the problem, given the democratic primaries, the votes don’t matter.
They’re stealing the election.
Don’t forget White people you are the Racists and we Africian Americians are Race Traitors or Uncle Toms. I say this kind of ticks me off since I am only 100% Africian Americians and BO is what half of both races. I think he is an idiot and it is my wish that the Racists and the Race traitors join forces to rid the world of the evil Obama and Hillary rides in on her horse and saves the day.
OBAMA OFFERS ME HOPE–THE HOPE HE GOES AWAY
I rather like your closing line.
May I help clear this up just a little? BO is not half of both races. On his paternal side he is over 43% Arab and just under 7% AA. You have to be 12% by U.S. law to legally qualify as an ethnic faction. BO is running on his DNA genes “appearance” and the fact his father was from Kenya. His Arab father. By law it is correct to say he is half white and almost half Arab. With a tiny dash of AA. BO is misrepresenting himself to fool America.
I’m Native American with a tribal card. My family knows all about strict blood quotum federal specifications to qualify to be sanctioned, and allowed legally on tribal rolls. We have to supply detailed proof. We have to deal with this daily in tribes all across America.
Well said. This is probably the biggest lie Obama has been telling. If you have to lie about your race to stir up votes, then that is clearly a power grab.
We don’t need any more politicians of this caliber.
Shez, that’s interesting. Why would Kenya be consider Arab rather than AA? (pardon my ignorance!). Thanks.
Kenya is considered African.
But Obama is actually descended from Arab slave traders who traveled through Kenya centuries ago, finally settling in Kenya.
His middle name, by Kenyan culture, signifies his Arab ancestry.
At the time, those Arab settlers considered themselves BETTER than the native Kenyans, and ALWAYS gave their male children an Arab name to signify that they WEREN’T “regular” Africans.
To them, being a “regular” African was LESS THAN.
Well said Helen. That’s a great line. I’ll adopt it.
God Helen, do you know Sugar? She blogs for Clinton and gets harassed horribly for being an AA who doesn’t support Obama. She even had to take her Clinton bumper sticker off her car. How severe can things get?
Plus, I couldn’t care less what someone who thinks Keith O. is a political analyst thinks. It’s too silly.
Greetings in this new week ahead! Be strong Sen Rodham, do not allow the bullies in the senate to make you feel bad, when you return from Puerto Rico, they want to pressure you, do not let them! They are acting weird do to threats to their political careers. If they acted in a way that will damage their political careers it was their fault, and if they need the money from these billionaires to pay for their campaigns, we don’t care. We expect from them to be committed to u,s the ‘voters’, american people, not with those acting like -surrend- to the power of the’mafias’. Trying to pass ‘this threatening pressure onto you and us’…stay firm and we will be you! If they dare and insist to kick you out with their scorn and indifference,and with no real base reprimands,’we the people will do the same to them’…Time to stop the abuse!
Find this article interesting to add weight to the revealing information on those videos:
comes from an article in:
http://www.liberalrapture.com/
What Obama, the DNC, and the compliant, brain dead media has done in trashing Clinton all year is reactionary. It is the opposite of progressive. 50% of the population has been degraded and insulted as a matter of course. As if it is normal. As if it is part and parcel of the Democratic Party’s values. This year we HAD a chance in the Democratic Party to choose someone other than a white male and base that choice on merit. The DNC did not (though the people did ). The DNC has gamed the system to award the nomination to an unqualified minority candidate - thereby proving all the conservatives right. They gave Obama a hand out not a hand up.
Like her or not, support her or not, Hillary Clinton is qualified for the job of President. The “community organizer” from Chicago is not. (Now every time I see an Obamite defending his resume and using “community organizer” as a qualifier for President my eyes roll back in my head automatically. It’s a Pavlovian response. I can’t seem to help it. As far as I can tell - and I’ve looked - he organized some voter registration drives under the umbrella of a church. I help serve meals to the youth group at my church. Can I be President next?)
Clinton’s qualifications never come up in the media. Why is this? I suspect that it would then force an airing of Obama’s. His rump resume would then be seen for what it is: smoke, mirrors, and speeches. What does come up daily is her gender. Usually covertly. References to “tears” and “every man’s first wife”. This is terror on the part of “news” men. Pure terror. What Olbermann and the rest are reacting to is their own fear of castration. You see, it isn’t that woman can’t have some jobs once reserved for men - we have moved past that - it’s that a woman can’t have THAT job. If a woman gets THAT job then all the mediocre men who got promotions over more qualified women are on notice. The jig, as they say, will be up.
What Clinton represents by her presence is much more valuable to true progressives than what BHO represents. The reason is simple. She’s more qualified than him. I could not write that sentence if Colin Powell was running against Clinton. Obama represents the worst failings of late 20th century liberalism: the invitation to view anyone who could show up and be a minority as “qualified.” (Obama is the least qualified serious Presidential candidate in our history - yes, including Lincoln.) This is the opposite of what was intended by affirmative action which was an attempt to right the ship in the face of inbred anti-minority bias. It was not meant to elevate those with thin resumes to jobs that they would not have gotten otherwise.
There are thousands of reason to vote for someone other than Obama in the fall. Electoral nullification is one. Juries do it. I won’t vote for him for reasons that go to his character. But if women and men across the country vote for McCain to let the media elites know that what they’ve done will not stand - I will not be upset or surprised.
Do we control the body politic or does MSNBC, newspapers, billionaires?
Great post……and so true.
An inexperienced man who got caught early on playing the race card and lying…..
beats the top-drawer woman.
*sigh*
This is simply too deja vu!
Good morning Uppity -
I can’t wait to see what the Obama-sphere will say about these ads.
If only Hillary had stepped aside, the GOP wouldn’t have made these ads.
Hillary created the toxic envinroment that forced the GOP to make these ads.
The GOP didn’t make these ads - Hillary did!
It’s going to conspiracy theories up the wazoo.
Yes, don’t you know that she’s been in league with the GOP during this whole primary process? She’s vying to be McCain’s VP.
I think those ads pretty much tell the whole story of what will happen with an Obama candidacy, and they’re just the tip of the iceberg. I hear a toliet flushing.
Oh, you figured out that she wants to be McCain’s VP? Damn, you’re smart.
I can’t wait to read about Keith Olberman’s response to these ads. “Let’s put the blame where it belongs, ladies and gentleman: on Hillary Clinton!”
These ads are devastating. And they are all issues based. The Rs know how to attack and attack well.
These adds are just probing jabs, they are not ment to be damaging in them selves. This batch of adds is pretty mild and are designed to see where and on what isssues the candidate is vulnerable. These will get mild circulation.
On the other hand, several of these adds seem to be resonating with people they effect (guns and taxes)
Their message will be refined from the what they learn from these adds… And once again, I don’t see any campaign savy on the democrats side (except for the Clintons…) to counter an attack like this.
Instead, I suspect the Obamacrats will just bury their head in the sand and pretend these television adds dont exist and they can just ignore the groups of peope they affect.
Their underlying message, “not ready to lead,” is what will carry the day. They will have hundreds of examples to choose from that can be easily spun to make this point. It is clever and will be effective.
Then, notice the clever way that McCain is playing it, starting this week. He is casting himself as the “Father” (old, wise, experienced)and Obama as the kid who doesn’t know any better.
A PERFECT storm (next cartoon?)
Now, Hillary will be roundly attacked as well, but they have to just criticize her stands–they can’t play the experience card which, in the end, would do in Obama’s electability ahould he win the nomination.
The problem with the Obama surrogates is that they have used the “Hillary made this an issue” escuse all primary season.
The problem with that version of reality is that a rational person understands that these issues are the result of Obama’s actions. You cant pass the buch for what you did by blaming someone else and saying it wouldnt be an issue if they hadnt talked about it.
THe problem with this approach in the general is that the Republicans will bring this all up because it goes to his judgement and integrity.
While the idiot surrogates in the DNC can try to blame Clinton for Obama being a weak candidate with major electibility issues, the GOP will place the blame where it rightly belongs…on obama himself.
I wonder if DOnna Brazile will threaten to leave the country if the will of the superdelegates is ignored in november.
I’m not saying that Obama supporters have blaimed Hillary for these ads. I’m just joking. (-;
I’m real curious to see how the Obamasphere will respond to these ads, though.
But each of these ads are based on Obama’s own words in debates and stump speeches. They can’t (although they will try) blame Hillary for Obama’s words ’cause as he said - words do matter.
“I wonder if DOnna Brazile will threaten to leave the country if the will of the superdelegates is ignored in november.”
I can only hope. It will be a dram come true.
Um, I kinda disagree.
The main problem with the Obamacrats is they are dismissive of anyone who does not agree with them. Anyone who falls outside of the narrow group of people they appeal to, they are simply not interested in winning their vote. They applea to people who think that hope and ispiration are enough to run the country… If you disagree with them, well they are uninterested in your vote..
Apparently you can win caucuses that way, but you can not win elections…
I’d be willing to chip in to buy the Brazile Nut a ticket out of the country.
They will have their usual temper tantrum but unlike Hillary supporters who state their case like adults should, the Republicans will keep poking the poor distressed children till they are kicking and screaming on the floor.
Look at Obama’s base: undereducated voters in the South who voted for pigment and not for policy; voters in states with high obesity rates, low educational standards and undemocratic caucuses; immature voters who are easily duped and manipulated by music videos; venal hacks who understand HTML and other basic computer languages; sexist adolescents who engage in date rape and other questionable activities; casualties of No Child Left Behind who believe there are 57 states in the union; and victims of corporate welfare with Cracker Jack Box degrees from tertiary institutions of learning who earn over $75,000 per annum in an office position that does not require much thought or effort. These are not people I consider informed or, for that matter, very important.
Yes, that’s about it.
But which category describes the Democratic Congresspeople?
the last category includes most elected officials, especially those who endorsed obama.
Morning Arabella. Wait till you see the Vet ad coming up. And of course, this is the tame stuff, sans swiftboats.
Uppity, these are what I call “the above the belt” ads. Obama supporters have NO CLUE how nasty the GOP can get. I wish you could get the clip of McCain confronting Bush on the SC whisper attack. I think it was on Meet the Press back in 2000. Remember when McCain was accused of having a black child with another woman? What Obama supporters fail to realize is, when a person is willing to throw members of his own party over board just to get elected, anyone could be next.
The word/value/concept that I am working with today is “honorable”. From my view (and I consider myself old enough (babyboomer) and enough of a skeptic to be wary of unadulterated hero worship) Hillary has run the more honorable of the two campaigns. I believe that she is by far the more honorable of the two individuals in whom the Democratic Party is about to place its trust. Some of Hillary’s honorableness stems from the wisdom that she and Bill accrued as the result of having lived through Bill’s presidency - and that she has gained by actually doing the work of being a member of the US Senate (rather than spending most of her term running for President). She is also of the “pre-Internet”, “pre-Willie Horton” era when some rules of decorum, adult discourse, and journalistic integrity still existed - those old habits have been hard to break. I will stand by my position that Obama’s tactics have been far more dishonorable and demeaning. And he will reap what he has sown.
Pre internet?
We’re Internet, and we uphold rules of decorum, in fact many do.
It is only one small obtuse group that feels it is protected by anonymity.
And I have to wonder why, it’s only their point of view…
Pan, baby boomer here too. Do you remember when you were dumb like these college kids are? It takes some adulthood to recognize BS when you see it. Barack Obama is raw BS. And Marxist too!
Yeah, in my late years in high school, I considered myself a Libertarian, although I never joined the party.
I wised up fairly quickly, however.
Barack Obama out of touch and not ready to be President… I love it !!!
“out of touch” sounds like “out to lunch.”
Maybe the eliteist think Obama can help them to latch onto the natural resources (oil comes to mind) in Africa and the Middle East but Clinton would push for alternative fuels. Whatever it is that is driving the eliteist they are determined to destroy the democratic party as we KNEW (past tense) it. Maybe
.
old uncle was right about the greedy whi—WHOOPS– Obama ain’t white is he? Oh Wait– he is half white and according to that guy by the name of Kenneth E. Lamb, Obama is almost half Arabic and 6 1/4% African Negroe. Well then, Obama has three chances to become the next president, the colored votes, the arabic American votes, and the white votes. Only one problem, he can’t get the Hillary Clinton votes
Nope! Can’t get the angry white woman vote. Bitches Unite.
At a certain point it becomes irrelevant, superfluous, you know?
No longer challenges the mind, which separates the Obamas, from the Clintons.
And the Obama’s don’t get it, smart people.
Meaning, conquer and divide is boring, Obama is boring, with the exception of possible drug use, and gay sex, in that he has nothing to offer, nothing to make people think, other than stealing the election. Even his corruption is a bore, all that moeny, and guys like Rezko STILL can’t make ends meet…
But Obama doesn’t see this about himself, so the attempts to further conquer and divide fall flat.
I think Barak Obama knows EXACTLY what he’s doing.
It isn’t “new.” It’s Chicago writ large.
Anything to win, but with lots of charming BAMBOOZLEMENT and HOODWINKING.
He himself says in his book that Black politicians in Chicago KNOW that race-baiting works.
Since this is an open thread, I just want to add I am sickened by the false piety, and hypocritical sentiment the corporate boys send to the troops on this day.
They are in Iraq because guys like Obama, and Alsammarae, and Cheney, and Halliburton, are making a fortune off of the taxpayers.
Bottom line.
American men and women are dying in Iraq, in large part, for the Alsammarae’s, and Obama’s, and Cheney’s, and Halliburton’s, their mediocre greed.
This time, they can prove it.
From Rezkowatch:
Disgusting pieces of cpwardly shit, top to bottom.
May you all rot in prison, corrupt congresspeople.
And the good lord willing, you will…
cowardly, sorry.
Which was it, the scarecrow, who needed a brain?
And the lion courage, right?
Also we need to ask senatorial shit bags like Reid, Durbin and Whitehouse why haven’t they pressured the FBI to arrest Alsammarae.
Also to ask the FBI why did they take down the Interpol wanted poster of Alsammarae from their website.
So far the D.C. Democrats have shown themselves to be no different than Cheney or Bush.
It would be hard to find a more shameful and corrupt bunch.
.
Right on the money, top to bottom, they all want a piece of the pie, or they lack the courage to actually DO the right thing, and investigate.
I guess the historical precedent is teapot dome, and I guess it’s time to read the book that recently came out on that scandal, just to gain some perspective of how they cleaned it up the last time…
This is btw, in part how the USSR was broken, corruption, and a war.
You’d think at least one of them would grab a clue…
LOL
Ahhhh….the Ministry of Electricity.
Think MSNBC and General Electric.
Think Axelrod and Exelon.
Lotta connections to get contracts for building power plants in Iraq, at taxpayer’s expense, while STEALING most of the money to hide in Swiss bank accounts.
Not to mention a SENATOR to help you get a visa to live in Chicago after the Blackwater boys broke you out of jail.
Good ole Chicago politics, eh?
I take what the RNC says with a large grain of salt. I am a life-long Democrat. That said, I think the last thing we need is a President that doesn’t know foreign affairs, economics, military affairs, or DC.
Reading about the Rezko affair gives me the willies. What bothers me the most is that people Senator Obama knew for years he now claims were just passing acquaintances. That is typical political doublespeak. So much for change.
I’m not condemning him for it. I just wish he would stop selling himself as a new type of politician. He’s not.
Their Board Games operatives are running his campaign. That gives me the willies.
I have a hard time seeing Chicago politics as an improvement for Washington politics ….
Washington is still worse.
I wonder though, given the systemic corruption, who finally stands up to say “no more,” to call it, who finally sends Congress, and the others, to the doctor?
The Pentagon?
I know some of the military is corrupt, I also know of others who still honor the law, and the Constitution.
I wonder.
beebop, I remember when dead people in Chicago voted by absentee ballot.
Well said.
Progressive blogs have begun their final push for Obama with the new narrative of “It’s Over,” The “Writing’s on the Wall,” and “the train’s leaving the station, do you want to be left behind?”
There’s also the “Prepare yourself for the inevitable,” meme emerging, as well as the growing “unity” theme being pushed in the media.
Well, I’m not interested in boarding the “unity” train, to ride along with a candidate who makes me recoil in contempt and outrage. I am happy enough to be left behind at the station if this is the only train to the destination. If they gave me a ticket to ride for free, I couldn’t reject it fast enough.
I’m simply not going there with this candidate. I cannot in good conscience, vote for Barack Obama, a man who is so smug in his arrogance, that he thinks defending the right of Democrats to have their votes counted is nothing but a “transparent” ploy. It’s breathtakingly insulting and stunningly offensive.
I simply cannot believe any Democrat would vote for this loathesome man.
It’s over, all right. But not in the way Obama thinks.
It seems impossible that Democrats are willing to abdicate the count every vote history of this party to the likes of Snobama … so much for moral high ground. It was nice while it lasted, though, eh?
Do I want to be left behind? Oh please,please, please.
“the train’s leaving the station, do you want to be left behind?”
Only on Amtrak…
All must obey the Party. All must obey the Unity. All must obey the Messiah from Kenya.
Fuck that shit (hmmm pardon my Francais)
They don’t know how right they are.
Yup……Taylor Marsh is going to invite Obama supporter writers to contribute.
It’s silly. There’s no way her particular niche audience is interested in unity now.
The GOP has accepted the inevitable: Obama is the nominee. They wouldn’t waste money on commericials against Obama if Hillary still had a chance.
And yet the Hillary supports refuse to face reality.
(I’m joking, I’m joking ..)
Believe me, they have ads in the can already to go when Hillary becomes the nominee.
Of course they do. But people are used to hearing bad stuff about Hillary. Obama has been sheltered by an adoring media. These ads will have new information for the public. Plus, Obama is not tough enough to deal with this kind of attack.
Obama’s reaction to these attacks will be telling. I bet he can’t handle it and he’ll look weak.
But you can bet your bottom dollar, Hillary and Bill have their own team ready, willing and able to slam it right back at them. Bambi seems to a little flatfooted in that department. “You’re a racist” gets a little stale as a comeback after the first 500 times or so.
Under an Obama presidency the democratic party will be singing GOD DAMN AMERICA all the way to the White House. ERR- wait a minute, I forgot about Michelle. She will put in a change of address for the WHITE HOUSE, so she can be proud for the first time in her fucked up life.
Would Meescheele allow the White House to still be called the White House????God forbid they get to live there..God Damn the obamas not America..
Its my belief the DNC and beltway elites like Kennedy, Kerry, Reid and Pelosi dont really care about the rank and file or even if votes are counted.
For them its about pushing their agenda through a puppet(Barky) regardless of what the American people say.
I don’t think Obama supporters are thinking rationally at all. They don’t seem to understand something. That you can’t use sexist slurs, call outright for the death of a candidate, call people racists and Uncle Toms, then turn around and ask them: “why won’t you join us”? Gee, I don’t know, why would that be?
They don’t want to us to be part of the club. They don’t need to “make nice.” They just want us to shut up and vote for Obama.
Not happening. The hell with the 0bots and their little cult.
Check out the new Hominid Views simulated election results from yesterday. Clinton now wins 100% of the election simulations.

Hey uppity… Mom said thanks for the hug ;>)
Tell her she deserves it. She knows what I know. And then some. Don’t forget to give her a kiss. Wish I could give one to my Mom. Oh! And tell her to comment on the blog. Show her how! My mother was a lot older than she is and she had a latpop so she could take it between her homes North and South and not miss a trick.
I hate to admit this; but….the RNC ads are pretty good; especially the first and last. These are the most damaging I think. The first one b/c of Obama’s own handwriting and “cling-quote’ and the last one about gasoline (given the current prices) and Carter.
Yes. I noticed that too.
Obama is the most corrupt and unqualified candidate ever. He’s a tool and a creation - an experiment - of Axelrod. Unfortunately, the Politburo of the Democratic Party will follow history and give themselves another resounding defeat in November.
But, see, they’re trying to steal the primary elections despite the overwhelming votes for Clinton.
Who is to say they won’t do the same to McCain?
How can they do the same thing to McCain?
Plastic Jesus has talked about “reforming” Social Security. Of course, “reform” is code for “hand the SS money over to the jackals of Wall St.” It is already known that PJ has Wall St. connections. Maybe that’s where he’s really getting all that campaign money, in return for a promise to give the Wall St. jackals the keys to SS if he’s “elected”?
In this scenario, the crooked voting machines would be rigged to favor him.
These ads are perfect pitch for Democrats disgusted with this primary.
I knew they would hit hard on the taxes. The man acted like only wealthy people have stocks. Good grief, has he never heard of retirement accounts?
We older folks are supposed to gracefully step aside by dying on our 65th birthdays. So no, he’s not concerned about our retirement savings.
No kidding. I couldn’t believe he was so dang dumb on that debate about this issue. He must have missed the part in our history where they took away retirement and plunked us into 401k funds.
Jeesh*
More bullshit and mindfuck on their part. For instance to put this in perspective, Hillary was the first to come out on many things in this campaign starting with her online townhall chats, and most of her proposals. They’ve had to copy her or say “yea, what Hillary said”. We have been out front and way ahead of them on what and who Obama is all along. They are the ones that need to catch up, and catch up on reality.
Their Hopey Train is about to enter a very dark tunnel with the Changey Bridge washed out on the other side. They’re just too dumb to see it, what we’ve seen from the beginning that he is totally corrupt and unelectable. We aren’t behind, left behind, or stepping back. We are dodging their wrong paths, misguided steps, and highway robbery filled with misfit bandits and thugs. Their ‘writing on the wall’ is merely temporary graffiti. What they need are some more handwriting experts to explain things to them.
We continue to lead with solid solutions and real ideas that are the best for all Americans and we are still forging ahead on our more stable route. What they don’t like is that we stood up from day one, remain standing strong, and we don’t back down. I liken it to sure footed mountain goats that have a more advantageous viewpoint. We can see for miles and miles.
We refuse to be bamboozlejacked around. And we can see Obama is a rickety unsafe bridge to nowhere but down, to crash on the rocks below.
Buy your tickets for the Obama Hope Train on line:
http://www.thomasandfriends.com/usa/parents/dowt.html
he has a chance of pulling it off, if he’s our nom, by apologizing for demonizing a fellow democrat and inviting Hillary onto the ticket. That’s the only way he can shore up his uniting credentials and his bottom up claim. Should he do neither he’ll have no chance. Already I hear people accepting this nom and loss with at least McCain isn’t Bush. It’s sad, this might have been fun, instead it’s hate filled meanness.
i wouldnt vote for him even if hillary is on the ticket .
No you’re not a racist if you don’t vote for him , but you’re a racist if like Hillary you want to shoot him.You cling close to you gun and God and hate immigrants sound like a Klandestine organization to me.
Oh good grief. I’ve never shot a gun in my life and have never allowed one in my house. I live in a suburb of LA and get along great within my own partciularl stew-pot of cultural diversity.
Go to the blogs where they love to discuss this crap.
The rest of us are onl
