Hillary, Iron My Shirts. Gone Fishin’. xo, Barack

That queasy feeling is upon me. The reason why follows courtesy of CNN’s Political Ticker:

(CNN) – Hillary Clinton will campaign for Barack Obama on two dates in August, the Obama campaign announced Tuesday.

She will hold rallies and voter registration drives in the swing states of Nevada and Florida on August 8 and 21, respectively. Obama won’t attend Friday’s event since he is taking a planned vacation with his family — and it’s not yet clear whether he’ll be at the latter date, which falls just days before the Democratic convention in Denver.
Obama has said on several occasions that he hopes for both Bill and Hillary Clinton’s help campaigning to win in November.

“I am proud to call [Hillary] my friend, and I know that I desperately need her and Bill Clinton involved in this campaign,” Obama said in New York.

I think that is the first truth I have heard out of Senator Obama’s mouth in a while – he desperately needs Hill and Bill to campaign for him. Desperate is the correct word. Otherwise, I doubt we would hear anything of the kind from him.

I guess he saw his internal polling numbers and they don’t look so good.

Perhaps Barack shouldn’t have allowed his surrogates to dish the Clintons up a crap sandwich every day for six months, besmirching their character and smiling as his supporters booed her and called Senator Clinton and her voters every filthy name in the book. Something many of them still feel compelled to do. Unwise, n’est-ce pas?

And, by the way, Senator Obama still hasn’t bothered to call Bill to apologize for letting him be called a racist for six months either, has he?

Here’s my favorite blog comment to CNN’s article:

Obama takes a lot of vacations doesn’t he?

Hey, when the going gets tough, just take a vacation! President Bush likes those, too. Why, he’s chopped so many cedars in Texas, I’m surprised there are any left!

Doesn’t it strike you as odd that Senator Obama has time for another getaway? He and Senator McCain are in a dead heat in the polls. The DNC knows those are disastrous numbers for any Democrat at this time in the campaign. In this ‘no-lose’ year for the Democrats, shouldn’t he be twenty points ahead?

Why isn’t he? According to the oh-so-clever pundit class, it must be a bunch of us old, racist, bitter hags. But I thought there were only a few of us ‘deadenders’?

I mean the DNC felt fine about nominating the weaker candidate, thinking they could put Paris Hilton on the ticket and win in ’08! Oh, I forgot. That’s what they did!!

It’s so nice that Paris… I mean Barack, gets some time to put his feet up. But Hillary just can’t seem to catch a break. Wasn’t her trip cut short in June because she was needed back in the Senate for important votes? Something Barry can rarely be bothered with. He’s missed over 40% of them. See, the problem is – he can’t just vote “present” any more.

Perhaps Obama could come back a day early and squeeze in one of those town hall meetings with McCain he once said he’d be more than happy to do.

I am curious to know why Senator Clinton is supposed to campaign for him when he gets to take some more time off. She isn’t even the candidate. She still keeps a schedule that makes the man look pale. But like a dutiful mother cleaning up after an errant son home on college break, Hillary feels compelled to throw out the garbage, wash his shirts and vacuum his room.

I know it is the custom for the loser to campaign for the winner of the nomination. The problem is – Obama didn’t win. Since neither of them have enough pledged delegates to claim the nod, she was forced, with a figurative gun to her head, to concede in order to ‘protect the Party.’

And what a Party it is! The DNC stood idly by while Hillary was daily vilified in the press, simultaneously providing unprecedented political cover for a flip-flopping, dissembling novice. I have never seen any candidate receive the treatment and level of disrespect that Hillary did from a fellow candidate. Obama and his campaign manager, David Axelrod, used Rove-ian tactics, accusing her of the dirty tricks they themselves were playing.

And now Obama wants to seat all of the Florida and Michigan delegates — which would make them a hair’s breadth apart in pledged delegates. Possibly Senator Obama is doing this because he just noticed the latest numbers in Florida. Who is the presumptive nominee, again?

It is unconscionable that Senator Clinton should waste a moment of her time in this effort, although I understand her deep party loyalty. Perhaps she feels she needs to ‘go home with the guy what brung her.’ In this case, that guy left her naked by the side of the road to find her own way home.

Good Democrat that Hillary is, even if she asks me to vote for him, three things prevent me from obliging: Obama’s policies that shift with every new breeze, his gross inexperience and his condescending behavior.

I am reminded of the day he went out golfing when she was giving her concession/suspension speech. And he made sure everybody knew that’s what he was doing. I wonder if the ever-arrogant Il Duce is getting a perverse sense of satisfaction knowing that she is campaigning for him while he is off sipping a cold one.

Then again, maybe he really needs the time off. Maybe the schedule is too grueling and he can’t hack it. What the hell does he think he’s going to do if he gets to the White House? Oh yeah: Delegate.

First we had eight years of The Decider.

Now we have The Delegater.

Can’t wait.

Hillary’s a woman of her word. Good Karma.
We still all know the real winner here. Rise Hillary Rise!

Comment by Lou | 2008-08-06 15:50:12

Hey wait a minute. That may be true Hillary is a woman of her word but the convention is not over.
Never has anyone stumped for their rival before convention is over. Fraudbama is not even the nominee!
I feel so betrayed by Hillary too. She is not fighting to get on roll call or fight for Democracy.
I don’t want token convention to ‘holler and scream’. Cancel the darn thing if he is going to already be chosen. There is no point in having it.
Patronizing Hillary delegates for a phony vote at the convention is insulting.
Are you tired of the insults?
Stop taking it laying down.
Hillary betrays us now too by not fighting back?
She has the most votes in all the blue states.
He does not have enough of the required pledged delegates to be the preumptive nominee.
Why is she allowing herself to step down before the convention? What’s the point of even having a convention if she has endoresed him?
For chris-sakes.
Why should she take the abuse from a deranged candidate and deranged DNC?

Perry posted this downstairs for all of us livid voters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JrHKrSfkxM

Comment by roseeriter | 2008-08-06 16:12:57

I understand your anger and am puzzled, but we don’t know what’s shes thinking.

I’m not going to presume anything about her stumping for the asshole. Do I like it? Absolutely not.

Comment by Lou | 2008-08-06 17:20:30

Same old thing. She wants something and is not saying.

 

Comment by Clinton Fan | 2008-08-07 04:03:54

She’s keeping a promise. She’s not going to be seen as the one who crashed/burned the party–she’s going to make sure that falls on OBAMA’S deserved and desperate head.

Anyone who encourages us to disrespect Hillary Clinton has their OWN agenda. And it contradicts the agenda of all but the trollish amongst us.

Hillary has intelligent supporters. They don’t take “orders” from the Queen Bee like some bots do from the Head Hivemasters in Obamaland, and they don’t all swing like a battleship in unison. They see the situation as it is, how it has played out, and act accordingly. For some, that means staying home on election day, or simply not voting for the Democrat on the ticket top–even if they leave it blank (not recommended, write in yourself if you have to) to voting for a fringe candidate, to writing in Clinton, to voting for McCain.

In my view, supporting Obama, who’s just like Bush, VACATIONS AND ALL, is no option. He’s Bush III, if you look at his votes and views–he just conceals it with a lot of flipping and flopping.

 
 

Comment by mystic4hillpuma | 2008-08-06 16:23:53

I’m with you, Lou. I’m not happy with Hillary at the moment, and I’ve sent a couple emails to her campaign to let her know it! I can’t believe she’s campaigning for The Pretender while he’s on vacation. If she does have an agenda, I wish she’d share it.

I will NEVER vote for Obama.

It’s Hillary or John, that’s it.

By the way, I may be angry at Hillary, but I love her still and think she’s brilliant!

PUMA Power!

Comment by WIldChild | 2008-08-06 16:30:24

She gave her word that she would campaign for BOBO. She’s keeping it.

Comment by Lou | 2008-08-06 17:08:56

Bad timing..before the convention is not right.
No one has ever done this before!

Comment by Gloria | 2008-08-06 17:29:41

She’s doing two events in NM, too…with Richardson….at least, the last time I heard she was…supposedly, he’s helping her with her debt….

Comment by georgiapeach | 2008-08-06 17:49:18

Maybe she volunteered to campaign during his vacation so she wouldn’t have to make a joint appearance with him, and there would be a built in excuse for it that the press wouldn’t question. I wouldn’t blame her if she didn’t want to be seen with him.

Comment by Clinton Fan | 2008-08-07 04:07:06

BINGO–there’s the smartest Peach in the room, right there!!!!!!!

What better way to be able to point to an instance of providing reasonably early support, and at the same time, you don’t have to have any of that General Election Disaster stink all over you?

 
 

Comment by WIldChild | 2008-08-06 18:09:36

Keeping your word is life or death to a public servant. She’s keeping her word and the pain of doing so will pass.

 
 

Comment by mystic4hillpuma | 2008-08-06 18:44:06

She also gave her word to keep fighting for us if we wanted her to, and I think it’s been made pretty clear that we want her to. So, personally, I think her word to us is more important right now than her word to the DNC, who’s done nothing but stab her in the back from day 1.

 
 

Comment by Lou | 2008-08-06 17:17:39

She won’t fight for us for roll call? She got more than the stated 18 million votes if you count all the ones that were in the trash bin.

Comment by Ani | 2008-08-06 18:26:35

She absolutely wants a roll call and she wants her name put into nomination!!! She has said so.

She is doing voter registration rallies - that benefits whoever the Democratic nominee is — don’t forget that!!

 

Comment by elise | 2008-08-06 21:49:27

You are not speaking for me, Lou and I’m even beginning to smell “alligater tears”. My life has been turbulent, but I wouldn’t dare compare anything I have been through to the last year and a half in her life. How many times have you had to look at newspaper and see the lies and misrepresentations so that every word coming out of your mouth is like a landmine? Or, your daughter and your wife/husband picked apart, analyzed every day for a slip of the tongue or display of anger? Either you believe in her or you don’t. She has either proven her character to you or she hasn’t, but this much is true. She is not done even though they are still hammering away at her. John McCain is a second choice for me. That was a personal decision for me, but I don’t like him, won’t justfy his policies and won’t advocate for him. It was a stratigic decision. How can I turn around and judge Hillary’s choices? I will not be hypocritical and she has kept her word. She said from the beginning she would support the nominee.

Comment by Clinton Fan | 2008-08-07 04:13:32

Lou is a fucking troll. Ignore Lou. Everyone else does…that’s why he’s here, making trouble–he can’t get any attention in “real life.”

This tactic is the pudpullers’ latest desperate attempt, to “trash” Clinton by saying she’s betrayed “us.” You will find them scattered here and there–they may well all be Lou, engaging in sockpuppetry.

Problem with that is, “us” isn’t a borg, like those fucking nitwits over in Obamaland. They try to take their own frantic feelings and overlay them on this group, which is quite diverse and has in common that we think Clinton got fucked and we think Obama’s an idiot. No amount of trashing Clinton will suddenly make Obama “not” an idiot.

They can’t fathom that. Because, you see, they are idiots, too.

 
 
 

Comment by Brodie | 2008-08-06 21:30:00

Gee- maybe what she’s doing is campaigning for herself… I mean, it’ll be right before the convention, so the delegates & SDs will have that image in their minds going into Denver of Hillary out there being REAL and getting the job done. I’m wondering if that wouldn’t give her the momentum and take it from him. I know if I were the presumptive nominee, I wouldn’t let a person who could so seriously upstage me go out in my stead just then. Sounds dangerous for Barky- maybe he is just too stupid to get it. As an entertainer I know it really matters who the warm-up act is. I’ve seen the crowd go home after the warm-up and walk out on the main act. Think about that, Lou. Just sayin’.

 
 

Comment by pasmalltowngirl | 2008-08-06 16:37:18

Lou, I agree. I understand that Hillary has to be the obedient Democrat. But for God’s sake, we are talking about our lives , our future, our children’s future. This country is in a major crisis and the people that we have elected to serve us are playing fn games. If Hillary or Bill know something about Barry and are sitting on it, in hopes of the repubs or anyone else coming out with it. OR, if the repubs are holding out until after the convention, they are not doing their elected duty. They are playing with our lives. To me, that will be unforgivable. If they have any chit on Barry they need to bring it out now. The longer this insanity continues, the damage that it has created, might be irreversible.

Comment by connie floyd | 2008-08-06 17:17:52

You are right, it seems as though both parties could care less about what we are going through. We were cheated out of having Hillary as our nominee and then you have the republicans who always say they are the ones who know whats best for America, then they are sitting on information that could disqualify the most dangerous candidate America has ever had just to beat Hillary out of the nomination. THey dont want to go against her. OMG, what is wrong with our government, they are all power-hungry jerks that only care themselves and their seat. We need to clean all the jerks out, PDQ! If they were true Americans they would ditch this jerk and his money people quickly!

 
 

Comment by OBSP | 2008-08-06 16:56:51

Lou, I respect your postings, but you she could not fight. It would be worst than 1968 & 1980 combined.
They are going to blame the Clinton’s anyway once he gets his butt kick so why give them more fuel for their fire.

Comment by Lou | 2008-08-06 17:11:41

They need to blmae their own damned selves.
Let them try and live without Hillary’s input as a leader..they’ll all be the laughing stock.

Cancel the convention then. There is no point in having it if they already have a nominee.
Like they are saying he won when he didn’t.
What do they think that we are stupid?

Comment by connie floyd | 2008-08-06 17:22:39

Cancel the convention,we have already wasted way too much money on the fixed primary. Why not save it and give it to the folks that are paying these high prices for gas. Better yet, give back all that money to those people who gave to their candidates. The whole thing was fixed in the beginning anyway. The DNC screwed the democrats into putting their hard earned money on a race that had already been decided way before the thing even kicked off! Isn’t that fraudulent. I wonder if we could find a lawyer that would represent all of us who gave to the fixed primary??

Comment by Lou | 2008-08-06 19:22:44

I was thinking of the same thing last night Connie. All you have to do is contact the campaign and ask for your money back. If this were after convention it’d be a different story.

Comment by Clinton Fan | 2008-08-07 04:20:02

All you have to do is contact the campaign and ask for your money back???
Why don’t you contact the lobotomist and ask for your brain back, ya troll.

 
 
 

Comment by pasmalltowngirl | 2008-08-06 19:35:05

Let them blame the Clinton’s. The majority of Americans know what is going on. Anyone with any INTELLIGIENCE knows it is not the Clinton’s playing the race card, IT IS OBAMA. If the super-d’s are to afraid or are being black-mailed to drink the kool-aid, we don’t NEED or WANT them anyway. Bring it all out. Let the chips fall were they may. The entire WORLD is probably laughing at us. ENOUGH ALL READY !!!

 
 
 

Comment by georgiapeach | 2008-08-06 17:45:14

Hillary knows the writing is on the wall. She knows, as we all should, what to expect from the current crop of spineless, chicken-shit Dems. I don’t think they would have the backbone to stand up and do what they know they should do, even if Obama dropped to 30% in the polls by then. If she fights to get on the roll call, or anything else, she would be branded a sore loser, That label would follow her the rest of her career, if it didn’t end it. She is a skilled politician, and I suspect that she has done, and will continue to do, just enough to position herself for another run in 2012.

Please don’t insult Paris or Britney - these woman may have a few age related issues, but they are smart every day on the way to the bank.

BO is going on vacation instead of visiting the FORT HOOD event on Monday. I hope McCain and friends bury him for good.

Comment by yttik | 2008-08-06 16:31:06

LOL, you tell ‘em. Stop comparing Obama to Paris, that’s not nice! Paris has never left people freezing in public housing for four months. She never came out in support of Cheney’s energy bill. She’s never sleezed it up with Rezko on the taxpayer’s dime.

Comment by Lou | 2008-08-06 17:13:38

She’s never dissed whole groups of people.

 
 
 

Comment by Connie | 2008-08-07 00:12:39

Hillary, I wish you don’t do the campaigning for him. Kerry did not ask Dean or any of his opponents in the primary to campaign for him. he thinks the world owes him something. But you see Hillary I do respect and admire you but even if you campaign for him or be his VP I will never vote for him because of what the DNC and Democratic leaders did to you and to the voting public. The DNC is just wasting their time. Come November, they will get a dose of ther own medicine, so to speak. (LOL)

With every “move” he makes, OhBlahma reminds me more and more of GWB—-lack of principles and character, arrogant, narcissistic, self-absorbed, himself before country. He’s the true Bush II, not McCain. His actions are making me feel less and less guilty about considering a vote for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee and I’ve never voted Rethug. in my 35 years of voting! Maybe all this “bad” behavior has an upside—bring it on, as disgusting as it is!

Comment by Salt | 2008-08-06 17:02:44

I’m in the same place and I will not ever risk a vote, as I did not for George Bush, for a knowingly inept unknown, un qualified, millionaire mansion living oppressed because he’s just different victim, for the Office of President who would also then be co enabling Congress as a role as Bush had of Party Mascot NEVER. Actually that’s the last person I would ever vote for.

Didn’t want have a beer with Bush and don’t want a President just because he’s different.

 
 

Comment by Cahil | 2008-08-06 15:27:55

Absolutely right on the money, Ani.

I’m surprised Obi hasn’t put a call in to Bush to ask just how much vacation time he should push for.

And isn’t it typical that he would disappear while Hillary is out doing the work. Sort of sounds like his time in the Ill. State Leg. with all his “present” votes.

I’m surprised that racist Bill Clinton doesn’t have time to return from promoting AIDS relief in Africa to fund raise for Presumptuous. What a muttonhead Bill must be.

Well, maybe, just maybe the DNC will figure out what went wrong in October while McCain preps for the White House.

This guy doesn’t look all that healthy to me–he always looks like he’s going to pass out, he looks drained and full of anxiety, he doesn’t seem to be the “one cool customer”(his sister’s words) he was at the beginning of this nightmare. Maybe he started using again and is going to rehab.

I don’t think he could bother to keep track of his lies. Too much work and we (the American public) are too stupid in his eyes to catch on. He can just pull is “As I’ve always said” line and look we’re right under his spell again, right? WRONG! I think his problem is karma. It’s a B!#ch.

Whatever happens, I trust them explicitly. Never, never underestimate the Clintons - they are more than capable to handle Obamabrat.

Doesn’t this have an all too familiar tune?

…when the going get rough, the rough get going…on vacation.

…flooding and drowing, let’s go to California, like my air guitar?

Another famous line comes to mind. “He can’t do it, he can not do it”.

Comment by Shainzona | 2008-08-06 15:48:13

TimNCGuy posted a comment about Obama’s Hawaii vacation over at Talk Left this morning and ended it with this: “Oh, and remember when the BIG complaint was how the primaries just HAD TO END because there was so LITTLE time to campaign against McCain?”

AND now McCain is asking congress to forgo its vacation and work on energy.

So where is BO? Vacationing. (A new game…Where in the World is Barack Obama…hint: not the United States!)

I wonder if he’ll even find the time to drag his poor Grandmother out from under the bus to spend some time with her? - Oh, silly me, only if the Press is allowed to record the warm embrace.

Hmmmm, I’m sounding very cynical today.

Comment by Lou | 2008-08-06 16:04:42

Anyone hear about how he couldn’t campaign there for the primary-it’s against the law or something?
Well he’s doing fund raising there in Hawaii.
He’s not relaxing with the kids..the kids can’t stand him. He’s posing for the deep pockets..

 

Comment by elise | 2008-08-06 23:22:15

No candidate has ever taken a vacation before a convention. I wondered about his last vacation and now this one. If he just needs a rest, how will he have the stamina to finish the GE or be (God forbid) president? Or is there another reason he needs time off. I am becoming paranoid about everything he does. His BC? Will the press be following him around there? Where’re Brain Williams, Caty Couric and Charles Gibson?

What brought us 9/11 was all the years in the past that the gov’t ignored these radicals. That includes admins all the why back to peanut man carter. We can not blame just one pres. for that mess.

No, that is not true. GW is the President responsible for not thwarting the attack; he and his “adults”, ignored the warnings from the Clinton Admin, the CIA etal. Now, if you are saying that the problem is because our foreign policy in the ME has been wrong, then I can agree with you.

I can no more blame President Bush for the 9/11 terrorist attack than I could blame President Clinton for the 1993 WTC bombing.

Republican and Democratic administrations have been asleep at the wheel for a long time when dealing with terrorists. I absolutely agree with onlylewis.

RC,

I recommend reading Richard Clarke’s book: Against All Enemies. When testifying before congress, he apologized for not stopping the attacks.

And to the forthcoming Obot boast that Clarke is involved with Obama’s campaign, he was also with Reagan, Bush Sr., Bill, and Bush Jr. Further, all of the campaigns are surrounded by people of good and lesser quality. Obama is not all bad: he simply lacks too many of the attributes that are needed to sit as president. Presently, he is of lesser quality.

There’s culpability and there’s culpability and I don’t think Carter’s failed rescue attempt is in the same league as Reagan’s “arms for hostages” deal. (Lockerbie, South American death squads, Embassy Row bombing in Lybia.)

And comparing the bombing of the Twin Towers during Clinton’s first months of his presidency and the 9/11 attack on NYC and the Pentagon isn’t the same either. Those involved in the 1993 bombing of the Trade Center were caught, tried and convicted and are still in prison. If Bush caught anyone or held any person accountable for all the mistakes leading up to 9/11 it has never been made public.

These morally weak men who became the leaders of our nation are responsible, yes, but it seems our government representatives from the Democratic party are determined to elect a candidate even weaker than GWB even though we never thought that could be possible.

He’s a perfect example of a person voted into the office of the president and knowing nothing..he had a great smile and got in for the smile..that’s it! He’s a peanut farmer form GA. he sold us out to Hamas and ever since we have had terrorist problems worldwide.

In a way, this is an unusually astute move for Obama. The more people see him, the less they like him. The Clintons, by contrast, might actually pick up a vote or two for the poor guy.

Obama’s been working out 3x per day because he thinks he’ll be photographed with his shirt off in the Maui surf.

Her Party Loyalty is an inspiration to me…it makes me realize that I have to vote for John McCain so she can come back in 2012…and kick ass…although it is sad that she has to do this…Now Bill Clinton I think he will have a harder time getting him to play nice…

She’s doing what McCain had to do with GB, and she will be President in 2012..

Party Unity My Ass!!!

Ani, great post as usual. Now let’s be honest, if you’re Pampers do you really want to be in town for an event that will no doubt be a Hillary pep rally, esp without his holeyness in attendance? It would be like Unity NH all over again.

He desparately needs to drop out.

Comment by gmanedit | 2008-08-06 16:22:22

Right on! Until the convention is over, she’s campaigning for herself — grace under fire.

 

Comment by Ani | 2008-08-06 18:31:55

Yes — he cannot be on the same stage with her because she outshines him in every way!

Look at it this way– it’s an opportunity for voters to fall in love with her all over again. They’ll see a real candidate as opposed to “Paris”.

I doubt they will do much after being labeled racists.

The irony is President Clinton is working in Africa.

Going to Vegas and Miami is more of a vacation for Hillary.

Comment by ddh312 | 2008-08-06 16:30:43

And with any luck at all, our gal can enjoy a cool & refreshing “beverage” after she takes a shot with the locals in Vegas and Miami. She IS much more like one of us :-)

Comment by Lou | 2008-08-06 17:31:09

Well she’ll get to eat some of her favorite food. Mexcian!

It’s almost like he’s hoping Hillary will snatch away the nomination. It’s like the student who doesn’t study for the test, then when he fails says “I didn’t study” so he doesn’t have to admit he’s not intelligent.

Comment by Buzz Latte | 2008-08-06 16:42:50

Funny. We’ve had the same thought in our household. It’s like Obama is purposely screwing up to get the presumed nomination taken away.

He can’t seriously be as stupid and inept as he has been lately…or is he?

No matter what, there will be no votes for Obama from this household.
