Obama’s Hypocrisy Complete

Five months passed while we waited for a decision from the Rules and Bylaw Committee arm of the Democratic National Committee. During the months Florida and Michigan voters waited for a decision on their voices and votes, Obama did everything in his power to block state level efforts at revotes. He literally refused to discuss anything that would have worked out in Hillary’s favor. This is his “modus operandi”, make sure you destroy your opponent. Make sure you run “unopposed”.
What does he do today? He releases a letter about an hour or so ago asking that FL and MI delegates be seated in full. The coup is complete.
He has kneecapped Hillary for good!. As for Harold Ickes, Obama literally took the wind out of his sails…. he is the one who said “we reserve the right to take this to the credentials committee”. Nope not going to allow even a chance for Hillary to take it to the credentials committee, can’t do that, that would be fair.
And I am the anointed one, Obama, and I don’t play fair!
Yeah, well here is commentary on Obama’s selfish and self centered, game ending letter to the DNC’s crudentials committee:
The Democratic presidential nomination all but officially his, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, today asked the Democratic National Convention’s credentials committee to urge the full seating of the Florida and Michigan delegations, which had been penalized for holding their contests early against party rules.
I don’t know why he asked them. According to Obama he owns the DNC lock, stock and barrel. Obama and the Democratic Party must be desperate! The number of registered Democrats dropped by 2% in July. Political expediency anyone?
“Party unity calls for the delegates from Florida and Michigan to be able to participate fully alongside the delegates from the other states and territories,’ Obama wrote in a letter to credentials committee chairs Alexis Herman, James Roosevelt, Jr., and Eliseo Roques-Arroyo. “Accordingly, I ask that the Credentials Committee, when it meets on August 24 to approve the delegates for the National Convention, pass a resolution that would entitle each delegate from Florida and Michigan to cast a full vote.”
The chairs responded in a statement saying they ‘deeply appreciate and value Senator Obama’s perspective on this important issue. This matter will be the top priority for the Credentials Committee when we meet on August 24th. As always our goal is to ensure a fair process and a unified Democratic Party so that we can win in November.”
In May, before Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, withdrew from the race, Obama was urging a very different outcome for the two states’ delegates, urging the Democratic National Committee’s rules and bylaws committee to penalize both states.
What did you do Obama payoff the RBC too like you paid off super delegates? We know what Obama did at that meeting along with the crooked, rule breaking RBC and DNC.
Well I remember May 31st like it was yesterday. There I was driving around Montana on the Veteran’s for Hillary Tour, in an SUV, a disabled Navy veteran and three passengers pushing Hillary’s agenda. It was our last day of the tour. We had just returned to East Helena, we were planning a leisurely dinner at a pizza joint, when my phone rang, the voice on the other end was mad as hell when they gave me the news, 1/2 vote for FL and MI and the RBC stole 4 of Hillary’s delegates, netting her 24 delegates for the day.
Well I won’t repeat what I said, let’s just say they were words only a sailor would be proud of, but someone read my lips, and then told me to “put a happy face on” before I entered the pizza joint!
Talk about condescending, but then what did I expect, this person had just sent out an e-mail which I received too, that said, Obama and the Muslim thing is going to be a problem for the Democratic Party. This was in response to conversations at an America Legion Hall. And this from a volunteer for Hillary!
Now with pure unadulterated dislike for all things Hillary Clinton, even after she did fundraising with him, Obama, sends this letter out. Yeah! I did it. I won! Nananana! Match Set Game! Obama is now telling Hillary and her supporters “to eat his shorts”.
Well Obama, you with the arrogant, narcissistic personality can kiss my grits!
Florida and Michigan will not forget!
And Obama don’t be so sure you win, November is right around the corner! PUMA is watching you!
We all knew he would pull this stunt. Unless you are a sheeple, there is no way to not see through this one. How more transparent can he get?
He treats the American people like dirt. He is very, very, very, very, very BAD.
obama makes me want to vomit. If my fellow progressives aren’t crying now, they’re pretty much as blind as bushbots are.
Hillary!
What about the four delegates stolen from Hillary. Will they be reinstated to her?
I knew this would happen. No surprises. He has made a mockery of the Democratic Party.
There is an excellent piece over at Riverdaughter written by an 18 year old young woman that will help to reinvigorate and reinspire those who are lamenting the demise of the Democratic party. It certainly reconfirmed my commitment to running this “new democratic coalition” out of town.
The Big-D Democrat by regencyg
http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2008/08/03/the-big-d-democrat/
There is no longer a democrat party — it is the obamacrat party.
I had to reblock the incoming dnc email on my email account. Because now the email coming from the dnc is now coming with Obamaling’s name —
Obamaling@democrat.org (ok it didn’t say obamaling).
At this point the obamacrat party must die — all the current idiots in charge must be fired. Even with the confirmed death of the obamacrat party — it is hard to believe that anyone EXCEPT the Clintons has revive the now dead and buried democrat party.
And I no longer care — after I learned that Kerry threw out the ERA (Equal Right Amendment) in 2004 — I realized that the democrat party has been dead for much longer than this year.
PUMA power
This would be the fictional political organization known as the democrat party — which has evolved into the obamacrat party — due to the hard work of Sen. Kerry, Sen. Kennedy and Pelosie and Howie Dean — and we can’t forget the biggest loser in democratic history — Donna Brazile.
There is no physical threat to a single living human — we are merely sitting, watching the burial of a political party by the so called leaders of that party.
The party was an idea and has never really been organized — as Will Rogers say decades ago — he wasn’t a member of an organized political party — he was a democrat.
Apparently Howie Dean and his side kicks tried to organize the democrat party — OR thought the party was filled with brainless followers who would follow the dictated of the DNC??
It has been very clear for a long time that most voters are not welcome.
It is the IDEA of a democratic party that is now dead. Howie Dean can go play with himself.
PUMA
The democrat party is finished for me.
My family has a proud democratic history dating back to the FDR days.
However, we vote for Country over party.
We are better known as
FDR/Reagan/Clinton Democrats.
We have decided every election in modern times!
I’m more disgusted with the democrats than I am with Bush…and that’s saying something!
NW Rain…
I just voted straight Republican in the Wa State primary.
I will never vote for another democrat until the SCUM that caused this debacle are destroyed.
Seattle Moss, I’m with you. I’m on the other side of the state, but voted for every Republican on the ballot. Never in my life have I voted for a Republican and it really hurts to do so, but I have never seen an election like this one. This man is despicable beyond words and my fear is not so much for me, but my children and grandchildren. God help us all if this shadow of a man is elected.
I’m so with you on this one and I appreciate the way you have articulated it. I am disabled and currently in a lot of pain so I appreciate anyone who succeeds in stating what I feel - thank you.

“There is no physical threat to a single living human — we are merely sitting, watching the burial of a political party by the so called leaders of that party.”
I believe that the New Democrats along with their Faux Messiah are the biggest threat to mankind.
By not understanding or caring about winning in Iraq, Obama is setting America up for a third Iraq war and loss of our position in the middle east. By wanting to talk to Iran, Obama will be giving the Iranians ample time to develop nukes and give them to terrorists.
Obama represents the internationalists who would like to see America defeated in the world.
Many people especially Obama’s youth will die because of his pacifist policies.
100% right… as far as you go. But, re: Iraq and Iran, let’s all make sure we’re on the same page. Whatever he says, Obama is a bloody, frigging Muslim. Every move he makes about thr Middle East is for the Muslims. He wants to destroy Israel first, hence his sweat to get U.S. troops out of the Middle East; hence, no offshore drilling–his Arab pals wouldn’t like it if we stopped depending on them. Then he’ll destroy the U.S. by disabling our military capbility; by destroying our eceonmy; by making his proposed private army–loyal to him, of course–a reality. At that point, he will have fulfilled the Muslim precept: We will destroy our enemies from within.
“Party unity calls for the delegates from Florida and Michigan to be able to participate fully alongside the delegates from the other states and territories,’
He continues to disgust me in new and inventive ways. Each and every day he does something that alienates me more. The RBC decision was the END for me. I don’t recall him submitting a request to seat the delegates in full for the “sake of party unity” THAT day!
The only thing that is more despicable than his behavior is the cover-up by the press.
He really thinks that most of the Democrats are stupid.
All narcissist believe this. They are right in most cases. Look at his support level. People don’t like to think, they just want to feel good. Problem with Obama is he is taking it too far. It is beyond border line physicosis. I mean even if you beat a mentally retarted person over the head with a mallet and tell them it is going to help them, they will either pass out dead or start to realize something isn’t right.
I knew this was coming, but it still really pisses me off!
Besides, whatever happened to “rules is rules” and those state must be punished and all that crap? Come on, there must be an Obama troll somewhere that wants to try and explain this flip flop?
He realizes that the MI and FL voters are pissed. He needs those delegates now. So after months of fighting tooth and nail to prevent a full seating of their delegates, now he wants them all seated?
This just weeks before the convention. Too late.
You should have done this when it mattered. At the RBC meeting.
It is precisely because we know Obama’s past, what’s he’s like (deceiver and liar), his bad voting record, his extreme abortion record, and (lack of) experience that we suggest to all who care to make an intelligent decision about voting in August 2008.
Drop Obama! He’s bad news. No amount of character exhumation will help Barack Obama, here’s why:
http://www.nextgenerationcorp.com/nextgenblog/
I grew up in Montana and I wouldn’t vote for Obama and believe me most people from Montana are Cailf transplants now and they won’t vote for Obama either. Remember now that Hillary won California.
And don’t forget that Obama hand picked the FL an MI 1/2 votes once they even decided to count them (they hadn’t even picked them yet). I suppose he then had to have them vetted one by one (couldn’t have a Hillary supporter in the group of fake delegates). Before he would allow them to become whole votes he needed to know that he had them in his pocket for his fantasy world - presumptive faux nomination. I cannot believe this Democratic Party has gone so far to steal this nomination from itself and thinks that none of us will see it - or punish them for it.
I for one have left the party until Hillary Clinton wins the nomination. If she doesn’t get the nomination then the DNC won and stole democracy from us. No better than the Bush Crime Family.
Makes you wonder how long this has been going on. I guess politics really is a dirty slimy game and there is no since particapating if your vote doesn’t count. So my vote will be used to punish the corrupt Democratic Party.
This is exactly what happened. You are the samrtest person here. His campaign has been replacing delegates for clinton for months now. Not all of them, but enough to ensure that he gets a majority of them.
He has flipped and lied about numerous things. Look what he is saying about offshore drilling, as if he was saying it all along.
liar, fraud, dangerous. His fans are just eating it up, and they forgive him for everything. This is becoming more and more like how Hitler came to power.
Obama says “NO” to slavery reperations now, but mark my words, once in the white house, that will change. Did you read what the chair of the reperations committee said? She says she understands Obama’s position, that he has to cater to the electorate. Yet, she KNOWS he will change his mind later.
What has America come to? I feel like I am in a nightmare.
The take over of the Dem Party during the primaries and this election reminds me of the horror movie INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (the original version). Essentially, what we have now is a Pod Democratic Party! Very creepy indeed!
I believe it is our duty to make sure Obama, his DNC, & Pod Dems –lose in November.
We FDR Democrats/PUMAs will take back our party. As soon as Obama loses, we will petition and fight hard until this slime riddled house of corruption has fallen.
“I didn’t leave the Democratic Party. The party left me.” Ronald Reagan, 1962
“I cannot support this ‘version’ of the Democratic Party. Another lost vote.” 2008
Pampers, just when I thought it wasn’t possible for you to be a bigger ass than you already are you go and prove me wrong. High five!
If Hillary’s campaign is only suspended, not ended, can’t she keep all her delegates from those two states in full as well?
Yes, but do a search on the internet about obama and florida delegates. Obama’s campaign has been working behind the scenes to get regular delegates to cast votes for him out of “unity”. This is whats gonna happen. At the convention, there is going to be a vote. Obama, after replacing clintons delegates for a month and half now, is going to come out looking like he won florida and michigan. That all the delegates are voting for him because they want unity. Then he is going to give this FABULOUS speech in the style of MLK. About how the time has come, America has risen above the racism, BLAH BLAH BLAH.
This is all planned out, do you really think you have any controll over this. Its been apparent since bush took the election in 2000. Its not about votes anymore, its about whom can out lawyer and out smart his opponents and get the most delegates and/or electorates.
No One is fooled, of course.
NO bama Ever
Mccain 08
Hillary 12
PUMA
It is too late for Obama and DNC to win in November.
We look forward for Sen. Hillary Clinton running in 2012 winning like The Clinton has always.
This time Sen. John MacCain will be the next USA President.
DNC and Obama will not be getting my vote!!
i knew Baracktrack would pull this stunt…
he is nothing but a common criminal…
the good news is americans can see through his lies…
the bad news is Baracktrack will do anything to steal the election… voter fraud that will make Mugabe proud…
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
what does this do to the delegate count? is he still over the top?
What! Does he really think this will win over Hillary Clinton supporters?! What a joke! And, the laugh’s on the Democratic Party. He is a nightmare. I honestly didn’t think I could loathe anyone more than G.W. Bush. I have to say that Barack Obama has proven me wrong. I confess I loathe Obama more than Bush.
Sad, isn’t it? I came to the same conclusion a few weeks ago. My theory is that Bush/Shrub KNOWS he’s a bit stupid and KNOWS that he’s where he is because Daddy and Mommy helped him. Obama’s so fucking arrogant he thinks he got to where he is on his own, whereas reality shows that he rode the Big Fart Wind of the Ass of Fellow Arrogant Blacks (Emil Jones, Jeremiah Wright, etc.). Obama’s no Colin Powell, that’s for damned sure.
Me, too! That’s saying a lot, because I never hated anyone like GWB.
Something that may be worth doing before you vote, verify your voter registration, make sure it is current. Here is a link for state by state offices which can tell you how to go about this. Nothing would be worse than going to vote, only to be told you
aren’t registered, when you thought you ere.

Obama has children going around as well doing this,and they are not oldenough to vote.These kids don’rt know ant better.These kids don’t watch or understand.Obama is just as HILTER WAS USEING OUR CHILDREN
I am voteing for McCain if it isn’t Hillary.
Just remember…
A 41% decline in the value of the dollar since Bush took office…
The dollar still dropping…
And McCain isn’t going to do anything different. The same tax breaks for the rich. The same corporate tax loopholes. The same federal deficits. The same trade policies. The same damn $341.4 million-dollar-a-day war…
He hasn’t said he’s going to do anything different.
