Obama apology demanded, No Vogue - no vote, Conservatives Don’t Like Strong Women?, Obama Flip-Flop, and MO Praises Hillary

NEWS LINK

1) One of the headscarf-wearing women denied a seat behind Obama is demanding a personal apology from the candidate.

Aref said she received a phone call and apology from an Obama campaign offiicial, but said that’s not enough.

“I do appreciate they’re taking the time to look into what happened,” Aref said. “I think it’s a huge deal. I was hoping for an apology from Sen. Obama himself. He needs to send a strong message this kind of discrimination won’t be tolerated.”
—————————–
“It is offensive and counter to Obama’s commitment to bring Americans together and simply not the kind of campaign we run,” Burton [a campaign official] was quoted as saying. “We sincerely apologize for the behavior of these volunteers.”

Of course, it’s the VOLUNTEER’S fault!! Probably a kid donating his/her time to help out and, WHAM! under the bus. Nothin’ but fumes.

Read the rest ->

2) Meanwhile, back at HuffyPot, Claudia Cividino, a Hillary supporter in the beginning, changed her mind when Clinton declined an invitation to appear in Vogue Magazine. Also, while some of her oh-so-progressive fellow typists at the ‘Pot felt Clinton’s misty eyes in PA were contrived to the point of conspiracy, Cividino felt she didn’t show enough emotion or know how to use her emotions.

After years of a bobble head in the top office, this country seems to be asking for competent leadership and a new approach to solving our problems, which will require intelligence in the classic sense, as well as emotional intelligence. As far as I’m concerned, Hillary disqualified herself on this last point.

Do the google. I don’t link to the ‘Pot.

3) And at NewsBusters, Matthew Balan calls out Roland Martin of CNN.

CNN contributor Roland Martin, when asked on Tuesday’s “Anderson Cooper 360″ if Michelle Obama was being held to a different standard than other presidential candidates’ wives, unequivocally placed the blame on conservative men. “No, I think what you have is you’ve got some weak men on the conservative side who, frankly, don’t like strong women. I mean, we saw the exact same thing take place for Hillary Clinton back in 1992…. All of a sudden… Michelle Obama is this angry black woman, when in fact, she’s an accomplished woman, a mother, a wife. And so, they are trying to define her in that way, because they don’t want to deal with the reality.”

I’d like to snark, but I truly don’t know where to begin and I’m trying to keep this entry short. Supply your own punchlines below, please.

4) While the Obama campaign is blasting McCain for his position on off-shore drilling, Fortune notes Obama has quietly toned down his opposition to NAFTA. Obama certainly used NAFTA as a club to pummel Hillary during the primary to the extent that she had to remind him as the first lady she didn’t actually write the legislation.

But now NAFTA doesn’t suck so bad, I guess. Nina Easton reminded Obama of his former words:

In an interview with Fortune to be featured in the magazine’s upcoming issue, the presumptive Democratic nominee backed off his harshest attacks on the free trade agreement and indicated he didn’t want to unilaterally reopen negotiations on NAFTA.

“Sometimes during campaigns the rhetoric gets overheated and amplified,” he conceded, after I reminded him that he had called NAFTA “devastating” and “a big mistake,” despite nonpartisan studies concluding that the trade zone has had a mild, positive effect on the U.S. economy.

Of course, after that, Obama’s handlers backed off Obama’s latest words:

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said that Obama-as the candidate noted in Fortune’s interview-has not changed his core position on NAFTA, and that he has always said he would talk to the leaders of Canada and Mexico in an effort to include enforceable labor and environmental standards in the pact.

But Nina noted:

Nevertheless, Obama’s tone stands in marked contrast to his primary campaign’s anti-NAFTA fusillades. The pact creating a North American free-trade zone was President Bill Clinton’s signature accomplishment; but NAFTA is also the bugaboo of union leaders, grassroots activists and Midwesterners who blame free trade for the factory closings they see in their hometowns.

Hmmmmmm. Take a position to beat up on democratic rivals, then switch to a smarter position as soon as the path is clear. Then have your handlers opine that you never actually switched! Brilliant.

Watch for all of Hillary’s policy positions to get “Obamized.” He’ll take credit for them the way he took credit in Il for legislation he did not work on and for glomming on in DC to yet more legislation he did not work on.

5) Signs of the Apocalypse
The WSJ today had a short but remarkable item by Susan Davis.

In a guest appearance on ABC’s “The View” today Michelle Obama sided with Sen. Hillary Clinton’s view that sexism played a role in the presidential primary campaign.

“Yes, there’s always a level [of sexism],” she said. “People are not used to strong women.” Obama credited Clinton for her race and for breaking down barriers for women.

“And I think that Hillary Clinton, as she said, has made 18 million cracks on the ceiling and we need to keep pushing it and pushing it.” She further credited Clinton for paving the way to make it easier for her young daughters, Sasha and Malia.
“She’s taken [the hits] so that when my girls come along they won’t have to fight it as badly,” she said.

You know, I’m going to really have to think about what she said.

Hmmmmmmm. Uh-huh.

Done.

Gag.

I call bs on that. Un-freakin-believable.

6) If you go to JohnMcCain.com, the picture leading to the section “Citizens for McCain” is of a woman holding up a Hillary Clinton poster now also sporting McCain bumper stickers.

Sweet.

All of a sudden… Michelle Obama is this angry black woman

All of a sudden?

Comment by WildChild | 2008-06-19 16:13:06

MOMO sure sounded angry in her thesis when she found that successful AA’s became a part of society rather than maintaining their unique black power required wall of separation.

Comment by AF catfish | 2008-06-19 16:24:22

Right. Now she compliments Hillary:

“Let’s not elect somebody who has been there and hasn’t done it,” Michelle Obama said in a fairly clear reference to Clinton. She said education was the issue that most concerns parents and her husband is the only one who can make changes there.

Comment by StrawberrybitesBarky | 2008-06-19 16:45:38

THAT was an compliment? God, that woman is such a…, she…, uffda I can’t even go there. Trying hard to bite my tongue. I just hope she reaps what’s she sows. The pit viper.

Hasn’t done WHAT? Shall we list all Bill & Hillary accomplished during his two terms alone? What was she talking about.

I love this line: “She’s taken [the hits] so that when my girls come along they won’t have to fight it as badly,” she said.

Gee, I wonder where many of those “hits” came from? They are unbelievable. Every day I learn something new that inspires me. I am more and more inspired to walk into that voting booth in November and VOTE AGAINST THEM! I really can’t wait. I am actually looking forward to it.

How long are they going to get away with this continuous lying and hypocrisy?

Comment by Total disgust | 2008-06-19 19:15:14

Fran-
Slowbama is so arrogant that he actually believes that we Hillary supporters will just come around and vote for his dumb a–. I love it because the more that comes out about him the better for McCain. It pisses me off as it does any Clinton supporter that more didn’t come out sooner.Everytime he opens his mouth he offends about 85% of his support. Yet it seems to be aok. I’m with you I can’t wait to cast my vote. But even more I can’t wait until all of these idiots that supported him have to concede to their ignorance. Oprah, Dean, Pelosi, Brazile etc…..It is time to clean house. We have 18,000,000 of us to get the job done….As for mo she has the entitlement mentality. Very angry. It makes me sick to think of someone like her in the white house.
You reap what you sow. GOD BLESS AMERICA

Comment by Linda K | 2008-06-19 20:52:19

I’m with all of you. No matter how much comes out about his flip-flops and his lack of “paper work, including his birth certificate” he is still given a pass. I’m looking forward to his massive defeat, barring some miracle that makes Hillary our nominee. I am looking forward to voting McCain although I’ve been a lifelong Democrat. What’s the matter with the DNC - is it truly corruption? I am so disgusted!

 
 

Comment by JoseyJ | 2008-06-19 19:45:41

Count us in! Loyal Dem family for decades - now voting for McCain.

I can’t help but wonder…if Hillary supporters had dutifully obeyed the DNC and fallen in line behind Obama, would he still have flip flopped and opted out of public financing?

 

Comment by MessyMarcy | 2008-06-19 20:59:29

Gee, I wonder where many of those “hits” came from?

They didn’t report it, but after talking about the “hits” Hillary took, Michelle was seen looking at her own hands and muttering “Out, damned spot! out, I say!”

 

Comment by Kathy | 2008-06-19 21:36:07

Absolutely!! Wasn’t Michelle the one doing the hitting when she said if Hillary couldn’t run her own house, she couldn’t run the white house? That’s great, blame the wife for the husband’s infidelities and then complain about sexism. Or how about when she said she couldn’t “in good conscience” pull the lever for Hillary. Now she wants to make nice because her husband needs Hillary’s 18 million supporters. NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

all this quick turn around makes me sick, MO does not like Hillary and she made that very clear when she said she whould have to think about voting for Hillary. No one in the Obama campaing liked Hillary.

Comment by Dave_Not_For_Obama | 2008-06-19 17:45:27

Hey Obambi, you are a liar, straight up liar, oh did I mention scumbag liar.

“I have been a longtime advocate for public financing of campaigns combined with free television and radio time as a way to reduce the influence of moneyed special interests.”

You mean people like Rezko and such, lol.

“I introduced public financing legislation in the Illinois State Senate, and am the only 2008 candidate to have sponsored Senator Russ Feingold’s (D-Wis.) bill to reform the presidential public financing system.”

Really Obambi, does that mean you will take public financing, lol, you chit head.

“In February 2007, I proposed a novel way to preserve the strength of the public financing system in the 2008 election.”

Who gives a flying frick what you “PROPOSED” if you can’t even follow your PROPOSAL, you hypocrite liar.

“My plan requires both major party candidates to agree on a fundraising truce, return excess money from donors, and stay within the public financing system for the general election.”

You piece of garbage, you have no plan other than to say one thing and do another, you know just like a LIAR would do.

“The Federal Election Commission ruled the proposal legal, and Senator John McCain, R-Ariz., has already pledged to accept this fundraising pledge. If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.”

Oh I see, McCain takes public financing and now you do a switheroo, you are a real piece of work. How anybody could vote for you I can never understand, you constantly lie and you hang around with crooks and unsavory characters.

I think a new name for you is apt, how about Black-Bush, it fits oh so well.

Comment by JoseyJ | 2008-06-19 19:48:36

Obama is a con - a very OVERT con.
And it’s amusing watching his duped followers defend his bamboozling and hoodwinking.

Obamabots are the new Bushies!

Roland Martin is a poser racist pig, calling Mr. Johnson an idiot last week on CNN.

“She’s taken [the hits] so that when my girls come along they won’t have to fight it as badly,” she said.

Yet this is the woman who has dragged her daughters to TUCC to hear the filth against women and AGREED with it!

I want to hurl. Why on earth would MO have the balls to say that! She is SO out of her element.

Anyone notice the bodypaint applied by makeup? It has the “HD” look to it.

Those comments by MO are disgusting.

I recall Michelle Obama saying she would have to think long and hard about supporting Hillary if she were the nominee. They will say anything at this point to get Hillary’s voters. Good luck with that. I will never support Obama.

It would be funny if it wasn’t so dangerous. This Pander Fest that is going on right now is pathetic. Do they really think we cannot figure out what they are doing? Talk about lack of emotional intelligence–these people are really obtuse.

But I am at peace. I don’t need to hear or read another thing until November, because my decision is made. Nothing anyone could do or say would change my mind about this man now. He has revealed, repeatedly, exactly who he is (and is not).

NO-BAMA!

Yes everyone was more interested in the shirts the kids had on. Really cool… I agree NOBAMA for me either, can’t stand to look at that creep. If he’s on TV I find another channel or turn the TV off. Heard Oprah is losing her following too. Come on ladies watch Ellen. I like her show.

Comment by Linda K | 2008-06-19 21:00:32

I don’t watch television at all anymore. There is always someone pandering to “the God.” I hope Oprah loses all her viewers and goes the way of some of the other long-gone talk show hosts. And that Ellen gets her following. Obama is an idiot and his wife is just plain creepy.

how hypocritical

this is strategic new position that was pushed also by Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.).

see the thread below “Women’s Checklist for Change ”

interesting that not ONE of these women, starting with MEchelle, never spoke up/out/against these issues

but now

Hillary becomes the HERO for the new generation.

why do we have to wait 20 more years, when we have the HERO ready to act NOW.

 

Comment by DirOfTheObv | 2008-06-19 16:16:12

On item #4 NAFTA:

“Sometimes during campaigns the rhetoric gets overheated and amplified,” he conceded, after I reminded him that he had called NAFTA “devastating” and “a big mistake,” despite nonpartisan studies concluding that the trade zone has had a mild, positive effect on the U.S. economy.

Isn’t this an exact match to what the CANADIAN OFFICIALS came out saying that the Obama aides told them?

And I recall that the Obama team denied that they had told the Canadians to no pay attention to what he was saying about NAFTA on the campaign trail, that is was rhetoric.

Comment by Darryl | 2008-06-19 16:38:47

Yes it is, but it doesn’t matter because America has the blinders on just like they did with Bush. Its like they don’t have any memory at all. The worms have eaten out the brains of America.

Comment by jadwiga | 2008-06-19 17:01:35

BO backtracked on every major issue like NAFTA, Iraq. Beside the fact that he is a ruthless carrierist, he is very dangerous. He is utterly clueless.

I am afraid, we will need every vote against him. It is our patriotic duty.

 

Comment by MessyMarcy | 2008-06-19 17:28:32

That is so true. It’s not like George W. Bush was President forty years ago, and they can’t remember how awful it was for him to be President. These dimwits can’t wait to line up and cast their vote for his clone Obama.

He is basicly Donkey Brazilla without the bad outfits and the cruella devile hair or the DNC credentials.

His oped pieces are idiotic partison pandering.

Just another flunky partisan hack pretending to be a newsman while he pedals his propoganda.

yep, cause nothing will be sweeter than a mccain presidency, the overturning of roe v wade, the outlaw of contraception, the teaching of creationsim in schools, another war with iran, etc.

Comment by MessyMarcy | 2008-06-19 21:12:44

Oh, yes, I’m sure that was what steveeboy meant. It’s your candidate who believes there are 58 states and who keeps repeating himself, flip-flopping about like an addlepated goose, and forgetting where he is. He’s the mother of all mental midgets. If Obama goes to Tehran to meet with Ahmedinajad without preconditions, will he say how happy he is to be in Tel Aviv?

How about the Democratic version of Bush? Call it Bushv2…new and improved. That’s OBAMA! A likeable guy you could have a glass of wine with, but sense he doesn’t really have the cojones for the job. He talks unity, but what he means is forced assimilation. He talks hope and change - he hopes you’ll change. And he means change you can’t afford. And he’s owned by big, powerful people who are steering him in there, and who will be well rewarded in running the country through their newly elected puppet. NO THANKS! NO BAMA! Country before party!

Comment by jack, too | 2008-06-19 17:53:04

but sense he doesn’t really have the cojones for the job.

I agree.

And whether it’s BOBO, or a crazy right wing general, they must find some way to psychologically cope with the enormity of chaos they see, the constant threats, the inability to reason, understand, resolve and anticipate.

I was thinking of the Pentagon shit cannon paganpower wrote about the other day, and this is what they do, spray their shit in the form of emotional water, from CNN, to Bush, to BOBO, to the Pentagon.

And we, the average American, (the world really) we end up carrying it for them, the water carriers for crazy overwhelmed, over bleached untalented repressed “men,” their emotional insanity spraying everywhere.

Again, for those tools, solutions are secondary to their need to feel, and look, important.

Most of the weak minded fall back on bad science to feel some small sense of control, that, and other weak minded individuals,( packs of idiots, like cigarettes) CNN being an apt metaphor for the mediocrity of the average Washington mind.

They see no problem, think they’re happening, effective.

The rest of us stand, aghast, at their idiotic, simple minded lunacy, their arrogance and worth invested in an ephemeral bank account, or IPO, or adjunct some nonsensical think tank, like a hip 70’s disco, they’re on the list.

They never ask questions, they never cope, and really, I think it drives them further insane, subconsciously understanding they cannot do their job, they have no control.

Maybe technology makes them think everything is easy, everything can be delegated to a master calculator, but it can’t, technology is simply a tool, much like a telephone, the human mind still superior.

These people are the most unqualified PsOS ever, and until the power structure, (the real, smart one), decides to get rid of them, for good, we will continue to see this, until they finally destroy what they never could handle in the first place.

They are weak, though, not bright men. They are running the war, our economy, and our elections.

They do have bright men, and women, who surround them, though.

Bill Clinton was/is highly intelligent.

It’s amazing that the only thing Barack ever told the truth about was that he was an adept practitioner of Chicago politics. It was quite a shock to those of us not living in Illinois to learn that Obama’s career, and Obama’s persona, was spawned by such a cesspool of criminals, terrorists and thugs. Obama’s crookedness makes Hillary look like Mother Teresa and Richard Nixon look like George Washington.

1.) Roe v. Wade is not going anywhere
2.) Absolute worst case - abortion rights revert back to the States. Guess what Stevie? me and my uterus live in a blue state that holds primaries- my rights aren’t going anywhere.
All those fainting, shrilling Obamabot girls who will ” only sleep with democrats” should have thought thru storming the caucuses in red states. They made Nobama the “presumptive” nominee, not me. They have to live with the consequences of a backlash to women’s rights in the red states.

Oh Yawn. So tired of this fear tactic. We fought for it and got it. It’s the Obama girls’ turn now, and if they choose Barry to keep them safe - well…he’s going to lose in November. It’s certainly more than just Roe v. Wade or other single issues. It’s about planetary survival, i.e. the environment, and trying to rebuild our country so that bridges no longer collapse, and so that roads are rebuilt, as well as rebuilding the awful Katrina disaster, not to mention what’s happening in the Midwest. And then there’s the housing fiasco, the unemployment…I truly wonder at times if the politicans really have a clue or really care. There are predictions for a lot more bad weather and more disasters and Obama and Michelle are still in la-la land rather than planning on anything constructive. McCain 08 unless Hillary is our nominee.

 
 

Comment by alexei | 2008-06-19 17:24:26

Roe won’t be overturned but if it is, so what? I have posted numerous times that Roe is hollow. As far as “Intelligent Design”, no way McCain will do that - he doesn’t care about that issue and he won’t owe the RW of his Party anything (he’ll owe Clinton Democrats), as far as another war in Iran - Bush will probably start that and the Dems will allow it.

You see, the Dems are Repubs enablers. How else can you explain that a lame duck, lowest polling President who just got handed his b**ls and only had two years left, was able to do practically everything he wanted?

No difference between the Parties except, the Dems throw us a few bones to keep us in line. When the Dems disfranchise voters and steal votes, they became just like the Repubs.

My decision to vote and work for McCain is because he is the lesser of two evils. Obama is scary, he is GW Bush II, with less brains and experience. More gaffes and even more arrogant.

Comment by IndayHill | 2008-06-19 22:49:29

What planet are you from? Never mind. I don’t want to know.
Roe vs. Wade? That’s a tired old argument that carries no weight. Most states have already enacted their own reproductive rights laws.
Outlaw of Contraception? I repeat. What planet are you from?
Teaching of Creationism in Schools? Since when does the Federal government control the curriculum of local schools?
Another war with Iran? When was the first war with Iran?

McCain will be a breath of fresh air after Obama is retired back to the Senate…where he can continue to relax, voting “present”.

He fouls the air with his bogus campaign. I truly feel sorry for you “true believers”. What a con job you’ve fallen for. For most of you he’s a blank page for you to project your dreams and desires. And it’s terribly sad how you’ve been used.

No wonder they try to convince you they’re the black equivalent of the Kennedys…they have no identity of their own.

“unequivocally placed the blame on conservative men.”

I’m not conservative, but she offends me, and I like Hillary, and she’s strong. More Obama blame the conservative straw-man.

“She’s taken [the hits] so that when my girls come along they won’t have to fight it as badly,” she said.

That’s Michelle’s way of being gracious, saying her children shalt be president, not mentioning her own plans.

This just makes me loathe her even more. God, what a pandering pit viper.

Comment by Mary | 2008-06-19 19:16:55

Me too.

Her “handlers” taught her to say that to get Hillary’s voters.

She doesn’t really mean a word of it.

Barf.

Mama rotweiller. A mean one at that. She opens her mouth and shows those great big teeth and snarls, “America is a mean country.”

It always comes back to how she and hers benefit.

Comment by Total disgust | 2008-06-19 19:29:52

Yes it does that is that entitlement mentality. It is all about me. Poor little old me. Makes me ill. Now she wants to make friends with Hillary. She cant hold a candle to Hillary. It is insulting to me for her to think we are so stupid that we would forget everything she has already said.

She could barely muster that level of civility, which I also viewed as a slam.

Comment by AnnieCarmel | 2008-06-19 20:24:32

Yes, it’s all about how they can…on the one hand cheat, attack and insult Hillary and on the other hand use, use, use, pander, pander, pander. Her comments made me sick. She still doesn’t know how she sounds to others. Unfortunately, for her…we do get it.

Thanks for the Citizens for McCain link. Made my first ever donation to a Republican and feel very very good about it. Offered to do work here in Ohio. Will hold off on more money until I see who his VP is. But at this point, Barry has flipped more than McDonald’s has sold burgers to where even Mitt Romney looks like he is less a panderer.

Well, isn’t it just a TREAT that Hillary could pave the way for Michelle’s daughters!
Nobama. Not now. Not ever.

And that means NO Michelle, NO Sasha and NO Malia. If they raised those kids in Jeremiah Wright’s church, I don’t wanna know ‘em!

But Hillary ain;t “never been called a N*****ger”!!!!!

Comment by Lucinda | 2008-06-19 18:10:52

No, but she’s been called just about every other derogatory term you can think of—most of which are too filthy to repeat.

Comment by zerostress | 2008-06-19 20:12:21

Yes, some of by John McCain or Republicans.

Everybody here seems to forget that.

Comment by MessyMarcy | 2008-06-19 21:29:05

We haven’t forgotten. But since Obama is the more sexist of the two and just more vile and incompetent all around than McCain is, we’re voting for McCain. And tell Obama since he doesn’t need or want our votes, to stop sending those whiny letters begging for money.

Comment by Linda K | 2008-06-19 21:49:26

ditto. And you seem to forget that this was a Democrat slangin’ another Democrat to such a horrific degree most of us just couldn’t believe the media or the DNC didn’t say something. And now they want to make nice? Sorry, unless a miracle occurs and Hillary is the Democratic nominee I’m voting McCain. I’ve already sent him money. There’s an action planned by those of us who are “Hillary Clinton Supporters for John McCain” we’re sending John McCain $5.44 on July 4th as an Independence Day present to Obama. $5 so most everyone can afford it and adding the 44 cents because Hillary would have been our 44th president. I’m also sending money to support the ad which the HCSfJM are putting in the Chicago paper on Sunday against Obama. I hope Obama with his hope and change agenda goes down to a massive defeat and we never hear of him and his nasty, vile wife again.

That’s when you say “I’m sorry for that, but it was YOUR fault. Now shut up and get under the bus!”
