The Blame Game

Part of the Clinton Derangement Syndrome we have witnessed this election cycle puts forth the theory that anything that happens is Hillary’s fault. Senator Obama, the DNC elites and the media never miss an opportunity to try and sell this phony bill of goods to the public.

Barack’s looking real tired on the campaign trail. He forgets how many states we have. He says the problem in Afghanistan is that we don’t have enough Arabic speakers. Well, I guess if anybody actually spoke Arabic in Afghanistan, that might be a problem. I guess with a ‘mic’ in his hand, sans teleprompter, he doesn’t do so well. All Hillary’s fault.

“Can’t I just eat my waffle?” “You’re wearing me out, brother.” “Come on, guys. I just answered, like, eight questions.” “My uncle helped liberate Auschwitz” – uhh, well, no, he didn’t. Sorry if FISA is a deal breaker for you guys , but, you know, where else you gonna go? “…Get over it!” he said, at a meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus. Rep. Diane Watson warned Barack not to use that particular phrase …

Hillary’s fault!

Let him eat his waffle! Where did that sixty-year-old woman get the energy to go meet plant workers at shift change at 5:30 a.m.? Obama, 14 years her junior, was constantly exhausted and exasperated.

Primary going on too long. Creating a fissure in the party. Hillary’s fault.

Heaven forefend the American people, all of them in all 50 states – yes, Barry, that’s 50, not 57 – should actually have a say in who we choose as the standard bearer of our party.

Remember when Obama called Hillary supporter, PA Gov. Ed Rendell in early April saying “You know I’m going to be the nominee, right? You’re not going to do anything to make that difficult, right?” Barack must have been real pissed that he actually had to look like he was working for it.

Remember Barack’s piss poor debate performance on ABC in April – Hillary’s fault. She went after him too hard. He didn’t have time to do his homework. Yes, they really said that. Whatsamatter, Barry, can’t handle it without Campbell Brown fluffing your pillows?

I guess not, because Howard Dean forbade any more debates after that. Why? Afraid the citizenry would actually see the truth? That the inexperienced Senator Obama was and is in over his head. He could not even explain what a Capital Gains tax is – or that it is a tax.

How encouraging for us, considering that IndyMac just collapsed and the stock market is tanking and people are losing their homes. He has not addressed any of this. Friday, on talk radio, the endlessly entertaining Arianna Huffington suggested Barry give a speech on the subject. Just what we need – another speech from Barack Obama. Who will write it for him, since, clearly, he does not understand the economy – or appear too worried about it. But when millionaire Michelle thinks you’re going to take your rebate check and buy a $600 pair of earrings with it, what does that say?

Damn that white witch in a pantsuit, not just crumpling up like so much tissue paper. Damn her always being ready and en pointe with policy. Damn those great debating skills. Damn her that she actually has a solid point of view and isn’t afraid to tell you what it is. Damn her toughness, her record, her resilience, her compassion, her experience, her smarts and most of all, damn the fact that she actually gives a fig about regular working folks. Damn her for making Obama look pale – yes, I said pale – by comparison.

Didn’t she know the DNC had already fixed this for him???

No kidding. Donna Brazile with her plotting little Slate article dated Nov. 5, 2004, “Why Americans Hate Democrats—A Dialogue – Tapping into the Obama factor.”

Setting the stage.

The all but unprecedented move by John Kerry to hand pick a State Senator from Illinois – no, not a U.S. Senator, but someone in the Illinois State Senate – you know, the guys who are in session 55 days out of the year — to give a huge speech at the Democratic Convention in ’04.

Setting the stage.

How long ago was the date for the 2008 Democratic Convention chosen? The last week in August is pretty late in the calendar, no? I know it has occurred to more than a few out here that it is the 45th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech. Gosh, I wonder whose candidacy that is supposed to coincide with? How long do you think Dean, Pelosi, Brazile, Kerry & Co. have been rubbing their paws together plotting that one.

Setting the stage.

So if anyone wondered why Florida and Michigan delegates were given the death penalty way back when, in contravention of the Rules & By Laws Committee actual rules, which decree they can only be penalized by half, now you have your answer. If those two delegate rich states actually had even half their delegates when it counted for something, since Hillary was 20 points ahead in both, by the end of January, she would have won 4 out of 6 contests. Those wins, coupled with her momentum and important victories on Super Duper Tuesday would have sealed this thing up – for her.

Why do you think 3 other states were allowed to move their primaries up beyond the legal limit with no penalty? South Carolina, for one – a state with a very large African American population. Hmmm. Makes a girl think. Remember, Hillary was also supposed to lose New Hampshire by double digits – and won. Interesting that Jesse Jackson, Jr. and Donna Brazile were suddenly talking about tears for Katrina and the Bradley effect. Hmmm.

Even with his sweetheart ride in the press, backstabbing DNC party elites, all the money on the planet – probably sent from everywhere on the planet, dear Barack still couldn’t close the deal. Damn that Hillary.

Now that he has been ‘selected’ as the nominee, it seems he can’t raise funds the way he, and The Huffington Post, were bragging he could. I guess that’s Hillary’s fault, too.

Well, if Joan of Arc in a pantsuit is that all-powerful, then the weaker man should step aside, bow out for the good of the party, and let her do the job she is clearly ready, willing and more than able to do.

And she doesn’t even care if she gets to eat her waffle.

Hell, way back in 2005, even Senator McCain admitted she would make a good President – and got into hot water with his own party for doing so.

Tell you what, Senator Obama, you just high tail it back to Illinois and you can have all the waffles you want. Hillary will take the job. She actually knows how to help the ailing economy. If you doubt this, take a look at Hillary Clinton’s exclusive April 3rd interview with Jim Cramer of CNBC’s Mad Money, and Alegre’s “Unemployment Rising.”

And Senator Clinton actually has correct positions on Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan and has had them all along.

Senator Obama, what will happen if your Sunday pander to NASCAR fans fails?

Since you have so upset the Democratic base and many of your own supporters by reneging on FISA, public financing, womens’ rights, gun control, Iraq, Iran, not to mention endlessly angering Hillary’s supporters with your extremely disrespectful behavior toward her and them, where will you go? And who will you blame? Who is left?

Please. Tell me, Senator Obama. If the stress of your chickens coming home to roost grows a boil on your behind, will that be Hillary’s fault, too?

Excellent article, so true and so painful to read, as we are in post primary and knowing what this counrty was deprived of having, a superbly qualified president.

Comment by agent77 | 2008-07-16 01:28:47

Politico article ::

Others are the result of the circumstances in which Obama finds himself: Having battled Hillary Rodham Clinton into June, Obama hasn’t had much time for the normal interaction between a campaign and Congress. And having to struggle to help Clinton pay off her own debt, he hasn’t had the time or the resources to raise money for Democratic House and Senate
candidates.

Comment by Steve | 2008-07-16 03:55:00

If I remember it correctly, she said in 2000 concerning the Florida recount that Gore should not fight for the presidency, that he should sit back, relax and enjoy the bumbling show of Bush II.
She claimed that Gore would win the re-match in 2004 ‘hands-down’.

What a wise woman she is. For that poor judgment alone, she deserves tar and feathers.

 
 

Comment by simanov | 2008-07-15 16:30:11

Do you want a president who’s afraid of confrontations? Will not go on Fox TV where he’ll be asked tough questions. (Remember the ABC debate where Obama fell apart. Remember how well Hillary did on O’reilly). Will not face his opponent in town hall meetings where he will be challenged and actually have to think without a script. Do you think that this is the kind of person that will rise up and fight for America, confront leaders of terror sponsoring nations and all other enemies? Is this the type of character you want the commander in chief to be?

Better than Hillary… who complained about being “ganged up on” by the boys in those Democratic debates. Who was she gonna complain to about “sexism” when she had to deal with the Arabs?

Comment by DoroB | 2008-07-15 16:44:58

That’s because she was ganged up on…duh.

That’s Kool-Aid mentality for you.

By the way, maybe you should come out of the cover. Obama threw you under the bus along time ago.

Comment by imustprotest | 2008-07-15 16:49:16

They did gang up on her and she still kicked their butts.

 

Comment by ddh312 | 2008-07-15 20:19:50

Indeed, they DID gang up on her (big fat duh) — to the point that even her good “friend” Bill Richardson went out of his way to comment on exactly that during a couple of the debates. Double-duh :-)

 
 

Comment by beebop | 2008-07-15 17:04:09

I for one was more than a little tired of hearing the specious one agree with what she said. Maybe if he had had to take a stand on something … oh, but wait, he would have had to talk long enough to take the opposite stand as well and boy, isn’t that tough to do with the clock ticking away there in a debate format? ;)

Comment by TeakWoodKite | 2008-07-15 17:27:19

“I agree with Hillary”, said Obama like Peter Pan’s shadow. The debates were also setup to give Hillary all the first round questions.=, so BO was in react mode and putting his stink out first.

It was intentional and she still kicked their butts.

Is there any question that if you put BO and Hillary on a podium side by side who can prove beyond any standard that BO only knows where the exit signs are and Hillary knows the architect that designed them and the REASON they are there?

Ani THANKS!

 
 

Comment by AnninCa | 2008-07-15 17:24:48

Hillary actually never complained about the sexism. She addressed it only at the very end of the campaign, and her focus was far more on the abuse that was heaped on her supporters and workers by unkind Obama supporters. She herself said that she was used to it and considered most of it a backhanded compliment.

To characterize Hillary as a whiner is laughable.

Honestly, Obama is a whiner. His rapid response to the cartoon cover is backfiring, too. He’s been hit by multiple articles today on his lack of a sense of humor, his over-reactivity, etc. One noted that he never smiles.

The best is the list of 5 jokes that are approved for comics.

Comment by jeanne | 2008-07-15 19:55:33

That reminds me…. I tuned into Rush for a laugh or two today, and got one. He was talking about the cartoon magazine cover. He said, “It’s only a cartoon. Who gets offended at a cartoon? Oh…. wait. Muslim extremists do….”
Rude and not at all PC - but then I am tired of being PC. I laughed out loud.

Comment by karen for Clinton | 2008-07-16 05:16:38

I also happened to hear some of the Rush show yesterday on my car radio and it was a riot.

The way he constantly calls ob “lord” and “messiah” right before he points out how sub-par he actually is, is great.

hmmmm, who gets upset about political cartoons? ahhhhh ummmm - Muslims!

When talking with a caller about Bin Laden, he *accidentally* said the name of the messiah lord god Bo once instead of Osama.

As a life-long Dem I never thought I’d see the day when I agree with Limbo and laugh.

 
 
 

Comment by Hope Floats | 2008-07-15 19:10:29

They were ganging up on her, especially Edwards and Obama. She had to point out that she always had to answer the debate questions first. Then they’d all say, “What she said.” I’d expect her to stand up for herself, if she were meeting with the leaders of the Arab nations. Look at what happened to Obama’s new national security adviser Madeleine Albright trying to negotiate peace in the Middle East. They walked all over her, and she over-committed herself trying to make everyone happy. Hillary is tougher than her or Obama and ideally suited for diplomacy.

Comment by JR | 2008-07-15 21:00:55

I remember that happening quite often. I initially bought into it being a case of Democrats having similar ideas, but boy was I and many others mistaken! What’s weird is that in one of the debates where Obama said “what she said” I thought it was a little odd. I wonder if anyone else watching thought the same at the time?

Maybe he can give a Speech, his only skill is reading that teleprompter. Make sure you read the link to “WHY AMERICANS HATE DEMOCRATS” by Donna Brazile, Brazile and Dean thought Obama could get those Church Voters, that’s what the DEMS have been missing. Too bad those ideots didn’t go to the Churches of Rev. Wright and Father Mike to see what poison Obama has been listening to for years, and make a judgement about how that will play with regular folks, it doesn’t. Obama is like a cancer for the DEMS, all his negatives will bring down the rest of the DEMS.

Comment by Hope Floats | 2008-07-15 19:21:25

That’s so evil. They probably thought they’d be able to dupe them like women and everyone else under the bus. This whole nightmare was brought on by greed.

Apparently he’s running from the military too. I heard that some folks have trying to organize a town hall mtg at Ft. Hood. Sen McCain has already committed, and the group can’t get a straight anwser from the Obama campaign. It was said that’s why they finally went public with the plans for the event–hoping to finally get an anwser from Obama.

This is such a nightmare.

Ending slavery in the US was a lost cause.

Civil Rights was a lost cause.

Womens’ suffrage was a lost cause.

Labor Unions were a lost cause.

Rights for migrant workers were a lost cause.

The Colonies independence from Great Britain was a lost cause.

Sovereignty for India was a lost cause.

The end of Apartheid in South Africa was a lost cause.

All of these things were deemed lost causes.
None of them were achieved over night. But they were achieved.

You don’t really understand what “the South will rise again” means, but then you’re a white Canadian lesbian. That you impersonate a black man and insist you’re “undercover” says a great deal about your mental state.

You are right…at least long enough to kick Barack’s skinny behind back to the windy city. Oh, sorry was that racist? OK, Well at least long enough to rub Bob Barr’s nose in the red clay of Georgia.

The south will help elect McCain. They are well aware that when the Democrats circle the wagons, that’s when they add the cynanide to the KoolAid…every single time. They just can’t stand to put up a candidate who might win…ala Kerry, Dukakis, Mondale et al the GE. They really messed up when they elected Bill but they’ve promised never to do it again.

Take your silly comments and go where you can talk amongst your Obamabot selves. Undercover Black Man, racebaiter.

Why does Obama want to loose the Iraq war?

Even now he is making policy decisions without meeting the generals. We have finally turned this thing around and what does Obama want to do
Pull out and send the troops to the black hole which is Afganistan.
maybe even attack Pakistan.

Is it possible, that this whole war issue with him is just his front? I thinks so. It’s a diversion (i.e., distraction) from what he and his co-conspirators are really about.

I don’t believe he gives two craps about these wars. Just pretending so to tie us up to debate the issue…sidetracking…letting the clock run out.

Where’s that birth certificate? We need something to nip this plant in the bud. Even if it onlt proves him to be a liar.

Great article. My thoughts exactly. I don’t want Obama anywhere in Washington. I want him gone. I want his co-partners in this fraud of an election gone. I want Hillary Clinton and if I can’t have her then it will be McCain. No democrats except those who stood beside her will get my vote or my money.

Comment by Penny Pritzker | 2008-07-15 16:41:14

Remember, Obama’s Auschwitz story. A crazy uncle spent months in the attic, disturbed by what he had seen - a bald, total lie:

“I had an uncle who was one of the — who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps. And the story in our family is that when he came home, he just went up into the attic and he didn’t leave the house for six months. Right, now, obviously, something had really affected him deeply. But at that time, there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain,” Obama told veterans in Las Cruces, N.M., during a Memorial Day event.

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/05/27/obama-errs-in-citing-auschwitz/

The embellishment of the ‘uncle’s’ condition is what’s really disturbing about this particular distortion. What else is he lying about?

Comment by CATscratchfever | 2008-07-15 16:59:26

that was about the time obama saw dead people, wasnt it ???

Comment by Patti | 2008-07-15 17:39:10

Comment by Clinton Fan | 2008-07-16 10:19:03

He might have just been looking for his fishing gear, for all we know. Perhaps the attic was very messy. Maybe it was six HOURS, and not six months.

Obama lies so much it’s difficult to make sense of anything he has to say.

This great-uncle was in the Navy, too. He never went to ANY concentration camp. Who knows if he went up to the attic?

Damn, this really highlights how pathetic BO is. I remember that ABC debate well, I thought he was going to hurt himself ummm-ing and uhhhh-ing when Gibson asked about the capital gains tax and the hypothetical Iran questions. It was Hillary’s fault for not going first on those questions.

 

Comment by hillaryfighter | 2008-07-15 16:43:15

are you reading the polls, Super Dupers??
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/obama_leads_bush_by_twenty_but_clinton_does_better_against_mccain

Barack Obama says a vote for John McCain is a vote for George W. Bush’s third term, but a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that the Democratic hopeful would have a much easier time of it if he were actually running against the incumbent president this year.

At a time when Obama and McCain are locked in a tight race, the poll shows that Obama would rout President Bush 54% to 34%. Looking at the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll, McCain is outperforming Bush by more than 15 percentage points.

The poll results also show that Obama would have an easier go of it against two of McCain’s chief rivals for the Republican nomination. The presumptive Democratic nominee leads former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney by eight points 49% to 41% and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee 50% to 39%.

However, McCain fares better against Obama than he does against two other prominent Democrats. New York Senator Hillary Clinton leads McCain by eight points, 50% to 42%. Former Vice President Al Gore, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2000, leads McCain 50% to 43%.
These numbers help explain why Election 2008 is competitive even though events so heavily favor the Democrats — because the Republicans are on course to nominate their strongest possible general election candidate but the Democrats are not. Perhaps even more importantly, the data suggests that voters don’t see a potential McCain Administration as the third term of President Bush.

In all five hypothetical match-ups featured in this article, the Democrat leads the Republican among unaffiliated voters. In the match-up between the two presumptive nominees, McCain holds a slight edge over Obama among those voters.

Enter…Al Gore. He sooths the savages and finds the right combination of calm and strength to be chosen as the Nominee.
Then, he chooses Hillary for VP.
A new dawn arrives. We have finally reached the new millennium. We are saved. Gore for 4 and hill for 4 and then repeat….

Comment by Hope Floats | 2008-07-15 19:52:37

For this to happen, there would have to be a scandal for Obama. His polls have to drop below 40%, or he has to have something like a Rezko indictment from Blago or the Whitey Tape. Otherwise, I doubt Al Gore would just pick Hillary. He would rather be wrapped up with Hope than relive playing third wheel.

If they try to ram Gore down our throats after all Hillary did in the primary I think I’ll puke. Knowing the idiots heading up the party that’s just what they would try to do if the gold on OB wears off and the crap underneath is revealed. They do not want to allow the Clinton’s to head the party ever again. Come on Hillary, stay with us and demand a roll call at the convention.

No offense to Al by the way. It’s just that Hillary worked so damn hard and did the right things and 18 mil. people wanted her as their nominee. To pull that out from under her, if Bamaidiot falls on his face, would be rotten in my opinion. And Pel, Dean, Brazi, would be just the ones to do that.

Let’s finish off the Democratic party as we know it and elect McCain for now. We’ll rebuild the party in the next four years after voting out the ilks of Nobama, Brazile, Pelosi, Dean, Reid, Richardson and Kerry for Hillary to lead in 2012. Let’s clean house. We need to take the Democratic party back.

I can wait another 4 years for Hillary. It would give me great pleasure to see Donna Brazilla’s face when BO’s house of cards blows over.

I, for one will have November 5th off because I will be dancin all day long. Oboohoo is going down in defeat!!!

I hope Coward Dean, Skanky Pelosi, and nuttier than a fruitcake Brazile are shocked, dismayed, and utterly humiliated by O’Barky’s defeat.

No, let’s NOT.

Let’s not give up on a Clinton nomination until the last damn dog dies.

If we vote for McCain, we do it reluctantly. And only AFTER we’ve exhausted every option, to include lobbying the SDs to change their votes.

It’s important to keep contrasting and comparing Obama to CLINTON, to show the thick people who do not get it how our “presumptive” nominee is the weakling and the neophyte, and the woman who got the most votes is the experienced, qualified candidate.

In keeping with the blame game, Clinton-haters are wont to say the Clintons have harmed or split the Democratic Party–whereas the exact opposite is true.

I’m sure we can trace most of the damage the Democrats have sustained in the last ten to fifteen years as a direct product of zealous, organized, anti-Clintonism.

Now it has struck again, and this time, the anti-Clinton forces may have destroyed the party–with a candidate far worse than anything anyone could have imagined.

He isn’t even a candidate; he is a plant. No doubt.

Why?

Power and money, in any order.

The Obama cult and their leader are very good at copy and paste arguments. I’ve been watching them here and other places do what Obama does best.

What is most amusing is how they are hell-bent on stuffing Obama into the WH by any means necessary, despite all of the major warning signs that have appeared to suggest that would be a bad idea. As if just being half black will somehow change everything. At the same time they post how McCain will destroy the world if he is elected and are accusing the PUMAs of making that happen, but somehow fail to realize it is Obama’s agenda that was the catalyst for the whole situation the party is in now. It is their fault the PUMAs even exist. It is their fault the party is severely damaged. But you know what they say about that river in Egypt.

The reality is Obama is too much of a gamble to bet on today, and needs to be pulled aside until we know who the hell he really is. He’s still young. There’s nothing wrong with letting him stew in the Senate for a few years until he finally shows who he really is. It is one thing to be an uninformed voter and decide to vote for him, it is quite another to be an informed voter and still vote for him. The reality is he was forced upon us by a small group of Democrats who should be questioned on their true party affiliation on the account of being soft on the Bush administration and the war. The only way to have lower approval ratings than Bush himself, is if those few so-called Democrats are on the same boat as Bush and his neocon cronies or being bribed/blackmailed. Brazile, on the other hand, is a flaming racist. Her buddy-buddy relationship with Karl Rove should not be overlooked.

If you have common sense and aren’t ignoring it, you should already have noticed all the signs leading up to something suspicious going on. Kerry going soft on Bush, Obama being manufactured, Democrat party leaders letting Bush and the War slide, the sabotage of the Clintons and now the illegally installed Obama. There’s plenty more to list, but that’s just off the top of my head. This post is already long enough.

JR-don’t stop now. I am enjoying your comments. Please continue. I agree with you 100%.

Comment by JP49 | 2008-07-15 18:12:06

Not 100%, 90%. I don’t want Obama in the Senate or anywhere in elected office.

Comment by YoNoForObama | 2008-07-15 18:51:53

I agree with you. Obama has already shown us “who he is” and I don’t want him ever to hold a public office again.

It took a while to build this house of cards. Bush 41 was CIA director then VP then President. Clinton ruined that, and Lewinskygate was payback. Despite that, Clinton still left office with a 70% approval rating. Then they got Bush 43 in office, and it all went to hell. Yeah, Kerry took a dive. The Dems took over Congress in 2006 and never pursued impeachment went against the wars. And now this. I noticed, too.

The World According to Obama

Everything is Hillary’s fault.

Or my staff’s fault.

Or it’s the fault of all those who didn’t listen to what I was saying even though I had actually said something very different from what I am now claiming I said.

Furthermore, having NO experience is better than having experience. And, if I ever need brain surgery, I will be sure to find a new and inexperienced brain surgeon to do the surgery.

When I said (back in a Democratic debate last January) that I had “put forward a plan that will get our TROOPS OUT [of Iraq] BY THE END OF 2009,” it was clear in my head — even if NOT in my words — that I “meant” NO such thing. What I really meant — and if you had listened carefully, you would have understood — was that I would have SOME troops out at SOME time (to be determined) in the future. What IS your problem with listening to me?

When I said I would accept public funding if the Republican nominee would (McCain IS accepting public funding), I didn’t mean in THIS election but I some far off election in another galaxy.

When I said I would NOT vote to end any filibuster against granting telecom immunity, it’s YOUR fault that I went ahead and voted to END all debate on Dodd’s attempted filibuster against granting telecom immunity.

YOUR fault.

Hillary’s fault.

McCain’s fault.

Not MY fault.

Nothing is ever my fault, and the sooner you accept that, the better the next eight years of my dictatorship (er, presidency) will be for me and the easier those years will be on you.

Get used to it.

Obama: It’s the bus’s fault, too. If it weren’t there, I wouldn’t have to use it to throw people under and to throw people under it, they have to disagree with me. No, that isn’t quite it…. Let me refine my statement: it’s not the bus’s fault, it’s the people who disagree with me who I find necessary to pitch under said bus….Let me re-refine my refining of my first statement: It’s the fault of the educational system which leads people to think and say things that I disagree with that cause me to want to purchase a bus which I then use for throwing people under. That’s it. No wait….
