A Follow-Up Zinger to TexasDarlin’s “Cash Woes for BHO and DNC”
By NoQuarter on June 16, 2008 at 10:15 AM in Barack Obama, DNC, Ed Rendell, Mayor Michael Nutter, Philadelphia
The following remarks were made, and reported by the Chicago Sun-Times reporter Lynn Sweet, at the Philadelphia fundraiser that an apparently cash-strapped Barack Obama insisted on holding even though Gov. Ed Rendell warned him it was a summer weekend. As TexasDarlin noted in her post immediately preceding mine, quoting USA Today, Obama’s insistence on holding the event was “a sign of the urgency to raise campaign cash.”
Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter and Pennslvania governor Ed Rendell spoke before Barack Obama, and said, Lynn Sweet reports:
“I gave Sen. Clinton $1,500 in the primary so I thought just for old-time sake I’d give Sen. Obama $1,499,” Rendell said, sparking scattered boos from the crowd. The governor calmed them by saying “that was before I drank the Kool-Aide.” He said that he has a check for $2,300 to give the Obama campaign.
Sweet then reports that this is what Barack Obama said immediately afterwards:
“We’re going to make sure this doesn’t bounce,” Obama said as he took the podium.
This is such a rude, classless remark, I am nearly left speechless.
What other descriptions can we come up with?
Tacky?
Tasteless?
Insulting?
Most of all, there wasn’t a word of thanks in that statement for the donation of the full amount that Gov. Rendell gave to this candidate even though the governor had worked his tail off for Hillary Clinton.
Well, we can look at Obama’s next remarks about Gov. Rendell:
He then said it was a “relief” to have Ed Rendell (”a man who has no shortage for words”) on his side. “How many cable shows can you be on at one time?” Obama asked Rendell, adding that he is “one of the finest governors in the country.”
Obama said Rendell’s presence was a “relief”? And that he wanted to know, from Rendell, “How many cable shows can you be on at one time?”
In other words, acknowledging Gov. Rendell’s affable and intelligent presence on numerous cable shows were a great asset to Hillary Clinton, Obama wanted to know how much he could use Rendell to do the same for him.
What can you do for ME, Governor Rendell?
Then, finally, he made a generic positive remark about him being “one of the finest governors.” After the insults about the check not bouncing, after the odd remark that Rendell’s presence was a “relief” to him, and after asking Rendell just how useful he’d be to Obama.
It’s just not the kind of class I expect in a candidate for the presidency, and almost all of it was said in the context of what Rendell could do to help him with only the slightest acknowledgement of Rendell’s considerable abilities as a governor, not any recognition of Rendell’s past fine works for the Democratic party or for Hillary Clinton.
Or any humble appreciation for Governor Rendell appearing at a weekend event after his own exhausting schedule as a superb surrogate for Hillary Clinton or his own personal sacrifice in not being with his own family that night, but instead sacrificing a weekend evening to help an ungrateful candidate solely interested in himself and what everybody else can do to make him more powerful.
(Does my disgust show? I hope so.)
Remember everyone - the calls for money are just going to increase, calls, numerous calls will be forthcoming. I have already received one from the Obama campaign. Just say “No Deal”…
It’s OK. If you supported Obama like you supported Hillary, Obama would be $35 million in debt too!
So since Obama doesn’t accept food stamps or jack-in-the-box coupons as contributions, “no thanks” to PUMA for your support!!!
Jack-in-the-Box has coupons?
He may not accept food stamps but his PHD mamma sure was happy to!
He must accept PUMA support because twice a week he sends his solitations, I write PUMA in big letters across it and send it back making BO pay the postage in the prepaid envelope.
Been happening for about 3 weeks now, like clockwork.
Yes, and I’m sure he’s all broken up about it!!!
Suggest you add other material in the prepaid envelope which will require additional postage to paid by the Obama campaign. Maybe such things as negative newspaper articles, if you can find any, about Obama and/or his followers or positive articles on the Clintons, again if you can find any in the news media. Or, if nothing else just put a bunch more junk mail in the envelope when returning it. Don’t imagine any of his campaign staff would waste time looking at the stuff but at least it would increase the amount of postage the campaign has to pay in getting the envelope returned.
Stick a few washers in the envelope. Nice and heavy.
Also might I suggest packets of Kool-Aid?
You’re really a real chicken! or a bird brained?
No, he is a typical chickenshit….
What about S & H Green Stamps? You left those off your list.
No Thanks to PUMA??? for your support?
YOU’RE WELCOME! Because you will never get any support from us. Now, go cry in your tea cup.
Then take our name off the donation list…. he doesn’t need us nor wants to be tainted by us.
real chicken has it all under control for his boy obama.
I would suspect that the Clinton campaign sold the Obama campaign its mailing lists. That’s common practice in politics and a way to retire debt, assuming that it’s considered a fair exchange of value. Otherwise it could be construed as a donation subject to limits.
I haven’t gotten anything from Obama. I am not on any Democratic list except a few candidates like Hillary. If she sold her list I should be getting stuff like everyone else, and I’m not.
I’m not either.
Funny how she beat his ass in states where he outspent 3 to 1. Funny how competence can sometimes beat out throwing bucks around.
Funny, that.
Funny how, when you are as bad a candidate at Barack Obama, you need three times as much money and somebody else’s delegates just to get ahead. Funny, that.
Oba can send me solication mail any time. I’ll jack in the envelope and send it back.
bo’s a pissy little thing, isn’t he? He always has some sarcastic little remark.
At least he can still take a piss, unlike the old man with the enlarged prostate. dribble, dribble, dribble!!
He can also eat food that doesn’t come pre-strained.
Is this the elevated discussion you were crying out for yesterday? You disgust me.
If I wanted elevated discussion, I wouldn’t come to this site of angry, bitter delusional goofballs who think they can derail Obama’s campaign by fabricating lies about “whitey” tapes and “terrorist ties.”
When your fearless leader gets a decent haircut that doesn’t involve a bowl, maybe he’ll be taken seriously!
but you did come to this site.
I see you agree then that the phony “Birth Certificate”, and “Never Been a Muslim” lie really are O’boy BS.
And I thought you Obots would fall for everything Obama. I can admit I was wrong.
Can you?
Why are his type so obsessed with penises?
Because his doesn’t work and even if it did, no self respecting female would go near it.
The funny thing about time is that it works it’s magic on all of us. Even your pal bo. the guy is not young. He is middle-aged. If you really pay attention to the twerp, you would notice that he is the one who forgets what he’s saying halfway through.
Don’t people like you have mothers, sisters, grandmas or grandpas? How can you be so vicious? Who paid for your school, your clothes, your food, your cell phone and your ipod?
Time works on us all and I hope someday you reap, when you are old, some of what you have sown.
You have the nerve to call me vicious after belonging to this site? [rolling eyes]
Ok, stupid then.
Might want to put your eyes back in their sockets and use them to see the real world instead of rolling them around like shooting craps.
I like that and may use it sometime with your permission.
I love the Craps Table!
Come to think of it, that is the metaphor for voting Obambi - Shooting Craps -
Except Obambi is a sure Loser. And even if you play odds you still LOSE.
Your idiotic ageist comments will not help your arrogant arugula eating candidate.
Now you and the BO Brownshirt gang have moved from sexism to ageism.
Really a great bunch of guys.
Now go back home and have a diaper change.
It’s McCain who needs his diapers changed. He just dropped a big turd in his Depends when he found out nobody showed up for his town hall!
Sweetie, give it a rest. You and your kind are what makes the rest of us tired of your candidate and the thuggish way he strongarmed his way to the nomination.
You want to be crude, go ahead. You will win no friends for your messiah.
You want to give real facts and arguments, you still won’t win him friends but at least you won’t be seen as such an idiot.
Obama doesn’t need friends from people on this site because you’re too stupid to know that Hillary has lost!
Every post savages him but when I do the same to McCain and/or Hillary, you start to whine. What a bunch of pathetic pussies. No wonder Hillary lost!!
Sexist comment
Ok little boy… your momma is callin you to do chores and homework…
And your daddy…. well he’s lookin for another baby momma….
Love those Obama’s and Obots. such wonderful role models.
You certainly are a colorful character, much like the guy from Chicago you are supporting…your class and “street language” is showing..and you know what….you are a
“realchicken”
There it is! That comment will get you banned.
bye-bye!
Oh my…now THAT hurt McCain’s feelings! You’re such a meanie! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Whine much?
I see the Obamrhoids are really getting nervous over their unqualified, illegitimate fraud of a “presumptive” nominee. You should be. We’re just getting started. We shall bankrupt the DNC. Let’s see how far the fraud gets with ZERO $$$$$$$$$.
“At least he can still take a piss..”
Hey, Chickie, you and Pampers into Watersports?
This makes me so mad! believe me, only a guy on drugs behave that way. He is so unsure of himself and he knows no one really is excited about his nomination, because it was stolen, and he is so despitrate. This guy has not class and just simply mean and arrogant and hopeless.
>> despitrate>>
What’s that? A word used only in the delusional world of angry hormonal pantsuit-sniffing lesbians and paranoid wacadoos with bad haircuts?
Oh, and anti-gay too, just like your Kool Aide dispensing messiah.
Could you be more offensive? Try hrder and maybe you’re reach the level of your messianic cocaine snorting hero.
Actually, Obama is not anti gay. He’s a closet case on the down low.

Ten to one, Sinclair will also play Michelle’s whitey tape.
I thought the moderators were going to dump these posters that issue personal attacks. This person is obviously sick.
Wow, you’re a real charmer. Wait, don’t tell me, you’re an obama follower right? Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
The above comment was meant for the realchickenhawk troll.
Ah, a perfect self description, chicken, see, you ARE self aware…
But why talk about the Obams like that… can’t we all just get along Rodney?
I like to say to these calls, “I have turned the page.” And I am too old and bitter to write out a check for Obama. I gave all I could to Hillary and I don’t think Obama and the DNC cheated. So forget it.
I meant to write that Obama and the DNC cheated Hillary out of her rightful victory in the primaries. Pardon my age and bitterness.
I’m sure when more deep pocketed Jewish folks came to know the real Obambi, they started to hold back the funds. So fitting considering Obama called them ” kikes ” back in 1996, BEFORE he ran for office.
*****
Please note I’m quoting the EXACT text that Obama wrote in the FIRST EDITION 1996, the later Second Edition 2004 has mysteriously SCRUBBED these words.
*****
Whether because of New York’s density or because of its scale, it was only [there] that I began to grasp the almost mathematical precision with which America’s race and class problems joined; the bile that flowed freely not just out on the streets but in the stalls of Columbia’s bathrooms as well, where, no matter how many times the administration tried to paint them over, the walls remained scratched with blunt correspondence between niggers and kikes.

You certainly can’t expect any “class” from a presidential candidate who gave another presidential candidate the finger on national television, can you? That was the epitome of classless, proving once again that there is definitely something lacking in that man’s emotional development.
I already got a letter from Obama asking for money. Hillary must have had to give over her mailing list in exchange for paying off her debt.
I tossed letter in the garbage.
But Rendell’s “kool-aid” remark was totally fine? Come one Obama just zinged him back for Rendell’s own tacky, tasteless, insulting and rude remark.
Louise,
If Obama wants to expand the playing field, he has to take that stuff with grace. He should have got up there and made a joke about more Koolaid to get a bigger donation. Y’know, made people laugh. Cooled the situation down. Used his alleged charm. A little self-deprecation would go a long way for Mr. To Know Me Is To Love Me. Tit for tat doesn’t get you elected president.
Clinton supporters don’t like obama. Period. Anytime he gets any of our support he has to count himself lucky and show some grace after the absolutely disgraceful and offensive campaign he ran against Clinton.
Yeah, Obama ran an absolutely disgraceful campaign against Hillary: He beat her like a rented mule!!!
You like that, don’t you chickenboy? The mental imagery gettin’ you all hot and bothered little man?
It’s OK. We understand and HOPE you’ll seek counseling for your depravities so that you’ll CHANGE and maybe then women will start paying attention to you for positive reasons, rather than egging them on to get the pleasure from incurring their wrath on this site and others.
Ummmm. I AM a woman. See, that’s what happens when you assume. You know, like Hillary assumed she’d be the nominee and didn’t bother to actually contest the “small, red states.” HA HA HA!!!
Awww, that makes it even more sad.
So sorry you have to go through life with your unfortunate condition.
What unfortunate condition is that–backing the nominee from the beginning? Watching Obama getting sworn in as president?
I can live with that condition!
You’re really sure he would be sworn in, huh? lol majority of the american people are not as fanatic as you are. they can’t be fooled with just words (lol)
Obama will destroy anything he touches, he’s a FLAMING incompetent.
That includes you.
Kinda see the picture, doofus troll?
No?
See why everyone laughs at you, Penny?
Man, that’s a female troll? I’m guessing you don’t date much, hence all the references to mens’ penises.
No, it’s a male troll.
You are a woman realchicken? Oh! boy, if I were you, I’d go back and see that doctor, the operation didn’t take….poor soul, what a waste of money…
Women don’t usually spew filth. You’re most likely a greasy haired teenaged boy. They are the ones that get off on bad language. Oh dear, I think I hear the truant officer at your door.
Women don’t spew filth? Tell that to Hillary!!
LINKS? When and where did Hillary spew filth? Post the links or shut the fuck up.
You mean the small red states where Obama bussed in people from other states to caucus for him. These imported kids were happily joined by Republicans who knew they had no chance of beating Hillary, so they engineered Obama’s caucus wins. Obama encouraged it with his Democrat for a day program, urging them to vote against Hillary by voting for him. Truth hurts I know, but look at Obama’s records moron. He’d gladly leave you in a building without heat all winter if it got him more campaign donations. If the DNC can hold together long enough to make it to the August convention, and anoints Obama the nominee, I do hope you come back here 2 weeks later and admit you have been a complete and utter sucker drinking the hopey changey cult aid of the unelectable Obamessiah.
Those you see following the Obamessiah are not Democrats, though the species may try to look similar. They are in fact nothing but JACKASSES!
P.U.M.A.
Obambi is used to get things for free or cheap without appreciating. So he is demanding dems to give away their money so he can loose on Nov.
Every time I see the last two syllables of your username I’m reminded of Tyson Foods.
I think of the old cartoon “Cow and Chicken” and in this case, she’s both.
He, and he’ gay, latent, anyway.
Not that THAT has anything to do with his penis fetish.
Beat her MY ASS! He didn’t win jack shit and you know it. That’s why you’re so defensive, mean, nasty, snarky, hateful, insulting and assholish! You KNOW he’s illegitimate. You KNOW Hillary won. You KNOW the DNC handed him the nomination. You KNOW Hillary has the popular and the most delegates when MI and FL are counted IN FULL. BO is a LOSER and always will be and so are his Kool-Aid drinking cultists.. Just wait until his Birth Certificate is exposed.
You better start your meds NOW. You will definitely go over the edge when that happens. He’s probably not eligible to be Prez. Personally, I can’t wait to see you heads explode over that one!
Rendell was the donor not the recipient. If somebody handed you a check for what-ever amount, you don’t go and insult them.
But then Obama isn’t know for acknowledging the goodness in others only himself. He should have been on his kness kissing Rendell’s ass instead of trying to be a smartass comedian.
He doesn’t need to kiss Rendell’s ass. Rendell needs to kiss Obama’s because Obama will be the next president of the US and Rendell will need things for the state of PA. Rendell understands that. Strickland understands that.
Everybody (except you clowns) understand that there’s a new sheriff in town. His name is Barack Hussein Obama and he’s kicking ass and taking names!
How about this:
kMa!
Now, pick up your dixie cup and drink quickly.
So, are you nine or ten years old?
typical Obambi’s supporter! a mob or a thug like mentality!
This attitude isn’t working too well. It’s Obama’s attitude, grant you. You’re only mimicking your candidate’s arrogance.
However, when the SDs remaining say they will NOT endorse and will stay home from the convention……
Whoa*…..that’s a big, big *f-you*.
As more and more see that this isn’t going away, more and more politicians will start distancing.
That means….no hard politicking on his behalf.
It’s all about momentum, and he had virtually none going into the self-nomination. He was stupid with the DNC ruling and now is really not impressing anyone with his unity attempts.
He’s toast.
I have noticed female Obama supporters tend to suffer from low self esteem. They always hate Hillary and other women because they hate themselves. Woman, it’s ok to love yourself, be proud of being a woman.
Rendell will kiss no ass! he can not help himself it is not in the DNA of people from PA (born in NJ but PA GOV. Rendell does not care about Obama if he did he would have never said he gave him $1499 He was letting everyone know he supports Hillary still. It was his way to let Obama know he has work to do not only with the voters but people in his own party. The Kool aid remark came from JIM JONES cult leader!
Taking names? Like the Nazi’s took inventory of all the Jews so they could mark them for extermination? Is that why he is taking names???
If it were not so dangerous for this country, the Obama supporters could be pitied.
They really don’t know what could happen with this racist - anti-american - know nothing in office.
Look at his family’s actions in Kenya. The cousin he helped in a election over there.
How many died?
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS
*AHEM!!!!* Your idiot candidate CANNOT WIN THE ELECTION IN NOVEMBER WITHOUT PA.! He’s already decided he doesn’t need Ohio and Florida. Now he doesn’t need PA. either? What about that swing state WV? There’s NO WAY IN HELL he can win that either! He’ll be lucky if he wins Illinois!
G-d you’re stupid.
It was a bit edgy, Louise. LOL* I loved it, however.
I think Rendell got heat for his end-of-the-process comments, most likely. Remember? He sounded a bit too pro-Obama.
He’s making nice with his Hillary lovers in PA, and she sure had plenty!
But the best part is the signal that PA is not embracing Obama with the love.
Bye, Bye, PA…
This is rather fun. Like collected those quarters with the states on them?
State-by-state….starting to add up here.
“Use and abuse, Yes We Can”- that’s nobama’s campain in a nutshell!
>>(Does my disgust show? I hope so.)>>
You should be disgusted by that haircut of yours!!
I love coming to this place. It’s hilarous how desperate and delusional you deadenders are. You’re going to withhold your money from Obama. What money is that? the money you didn’t give to keep Hillary’s campaign out of bankrupty??
HA HA HA HA!!!!
And it’s funny watching you pretend you understand, when you don’t.
Really, poor thing, just this big old tub of gas, with MAPLE, and a lil matrix.
Poor things.
Wow! Me to! I love coming to this place to read the comments of those who think picking a president is equal to picking a winner on american idol.
I especially love watching trolls walk straight into the oncoming trainwreck that is Senator Obama. Seriously. I do. You guys are so entertaining!!! One of my other fellow soldiers when on break, leave positive comments about Senator Clinton and sit back and watch you all act like rabid dogs fighting over a bone as you say some of the most funny things!!!
We especially like the term you guys created “deadenders” to refer to those smart enough to know that there is no way in hell a person with a background such as Senator Obama will ever be Commander in Chief.
I mean really. You would have to be literally deaf, dumb, blind and stupid to think just because the Democratic Party chose not to find out who he is, that he is going to get a free ride straight into 1600 Penn Ave.
Believe me. They already have all the info they need on the “original” Senator Obama. And best believe it comes with the original birth certificate and not that altered crap that was online days ago. Oh and if your crazy enough to assume that the “tape in which I will not name” doesnt exist, you might want to invest in psychiatric treatment now so it wont hurt as much when you find out who BO and his wife “really are”.
They said the tape didnt exist, they never said she DIDNT say the words. God, I love this country! I mean why would Republicans show there hand now? Especially when they can achieve something as grand as a Republican majority and president, as well as ensuring it will be a long time before Democrats hold the majority with anything based on there bad judgement?
They have the ability to turn the phrase “Democratic Party” into a myth, something that used to exist before they were crazy enough to push a presidential candidate down our throats they knew nothing about?
It pays to discover….facts that is. I mean the major media outlets donated MILLIONS to Bush. So you think all of a sudden they all saw the light and halo around BOs head? Get real. The longer they play the game in hyping him up. The harder and larger the impact when they tear him and the Democratic party down.
Sad really. Its not like anything is G14 classified. It’s right there for those smart enough to see it or ask questions. I am going to give you an example. Although I know you are probably programed to not recognize “truth”, I will do so anyway.
North Carolina. Thats all I should say, however I will elaborate. On 24 June they are having a second primary. Ever heard of that? A second primary. Hmmmm I wonder why?
Well apparently, we love Senator Obama sooooo much down here that thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands went to early vote just for HIM, and just went home.
Not even bothering to vote for any of the elected down ticket dem officials that they know. The ones who have actually done things for them. I found it quite fascinating myself. To have 80% and the largest turnout in NC primary history, but no one voted for any of the officials from there own state.
That was the reason they were able to call it three minutes after polls closed. Oh and dont forget Indiana. We all watched the UTUBE video of Monroe county “helping” people vote on the inside. As well as viewing it on CNN as they attempted to “give” Obama Indiana to. Gotta love Lake County elected officials…
Anyhoo… the moral of the story is this: Your comments are entertaining. But in the “real world”, dirty politicians DO NOT become Commander in Chief. And if you think they will let a national security risk enter the whitehouse, you might need to stop drinking the obamablahblah kool aid. Just because the Democratic party may turn a blind eye. Best believe those higher up in the government food chain DO NOT.
But by all means continue leaving these type of remarks, they are highly entertaining. I normally dont respond, however, I cannot believe people actually think he will be the President Of the United States of America. The. United. States. of. America.
The media’s job is to get high ratings and money is there bottom line. And when they turn on BO. They will make everyone who supported him look like downright idiots for thinking someone with those type of connections and resorted to certain actions would ever become president. The reason many cannot see it is because they think its about Senator Clinton. Thats why so many find the “deadenders” comment so hilarious.
This is about something way bigger than HRC, bigger than anything (obvioulsy) you can comprehend, this is about national security, our country and the american people.
You think they dont know about the hacked accounts, digging up personal info, the death threats, etc etc? riiiiiight. Okay. Well just wanted to add my two cents, feel free to continue living in the fantasy world were Obama becomes president. Amazing. Normally I break down in fits of laughter when I type that! But anyway, good luck with getting him elected.!! In the “alternate” U.S, that is.
But really…do you know how deep they dig into peoples backgrounds just to be the GARDNER of the White House lawn? The Cook, the people that clean up? On call doctors? Now really, if they discovered the gardner had friends like Ayers, Rezko, belonged to a church like Trinity, had a fake birth certificate, do you honestly think they would be HIRED to work at the White House?
Nope. So why the hell would you think they would let a person with those connections become “President”?
Hey Patsy
Good post. You always are right on target.
Keep SAFE.
Wo
