PUMA Gallery
By Pat Racimora on August 8, 2008 at 6:00 PM in DNC, Democratic National Convention, Democratic Nomination, Democratic Party, Donna Brazile, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, PUMA
Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, and Donna Brazile are only a few of the Democratic leaders who need glasses or a wake-up pill or an old fashioned slap upside the head to see what is going on with a good portion of 18 million voters who supported Hillary Clinton.
If these people could see the picture, they would be busy trying to heal as many of the abuses the DNC (and sometimes the Obama campaign itself) has permitted, perpetrated, or tacitly encouraged through benign neglect over the last months. Instead, the discontented are discounted as Republicans (or at least not real Democrats), or sore-losing old women, or temporarily angst-ridden voters who will fall in line as soon as they “just get over it,” or racists. Barack Obama supporters are even praying for us poor souls to see the light. (That one really creeps me out.)
In truth there is no one PUMA entity (sometimes, but not always, standing for Party Unity My Ass), and agendas vary somewhat. But they all have a number of legitimate grievances. Here are some of mine against the DNC:
1. Disgust with the sexist media and no attempt by the DNC to call them on it when it really mattered.
2. Dealing initially with Michigan and Florida in punitive ways, only to ensure that they come out whole in the end—but after Obama became the presumptive nominee so Hillary did not get her due delegates.
3. Allowing candidates to donate to delegate campaigns, raising the likelihood that they can be bought.
4. Passively looking on while corruption and lack of representation plagued state caucuses.
5. Failing to vigorously argue all along that Hillary Clinton’s name must be placed in nomination in Denver, given the massive support she garnered.
6. Moving DNC operations to Obama’s Chicago before a nominee has even been selected.
Do you see others?
If the DNC leadership and Obama acknowledge the significance of PUMA, they would have to admit they created the conflict.
Their egos will never allow them to do this.
Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, and Donna Brazile live in the 51st state… the state of denial.
I’m sure Donna Brazile is an educated woman. Supposedly. Would someone please inform her that for words ending in i-n-g the “g” is pronounced. She is so annoyin-g.
Does this remind anyone else of Mystery Science Theater 3000? Only difference is the three stooges in the pic aren’t as astute as the guy and his two robots…They actually “Got It”!!
OMG! I loved that show. What a hoot.
“But I don’t see it”.
You’re right. The sci-fi show was funny and clever.
Pelosi, Dean and Donna are turds.
LOVE the PUMA print too.
Please Pat - put it on a pink tee for U.S. to wear to the polls.
Just the puma face on a pink short sleeved tee with P.U.M.A. on the back. A v-neck would be even cooler.
With your initials of course!!
I am PUMA hear me ROAR -
in numbers too big to ignore!
Pat Just sat down. TGIF!!
Your Art work is a thing of beauty.
It ranks right up there with getting eye ball close with a Monet’ hanging in the NY Muesum of Modern Art!
I was transported back to having really tired legs and sitting on a bench looking at the paintings. Thanks. Now I’ll go read what ya wrote.
Teak you’re such an old softy
I happen to agree with you about PAT and PUMA!!
Never underestimate the CAT
or WOMEN with a MISSION!!
Una, CP, Kat, No Qtr, get your shovel
we’re diggin in HERE!
It feels like a stand off.
What an amazing compliment–thanks!!!
I would love to have tee shirt like this for myself, my three daughters, and three granddaughters.
If you create it , they will buy it.
Good ideas always work.
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS
PUMAS, BUBBAS, AND THOSE PEOPLE RULE
They won`t “GET IT” until Nov 4.
I’m reminded of my proctologist’s comment to me whenever you say that, “Get It,” part:
“Now, Zeke, you may experience some slight discomfort….”
I GOT it!
I have had it with Hillary - what happened to Country before Party? As far as I am concerned, it is irresponsible of her to endorse Black Liberation Theology Nobama. Why, Hillary, why?
And what good would it do to put her name in nomination? Nobama has already purchased the SD, consequently, putting her name in nomination only serves to legitimize his coronation.
As of today, my money goes to McCain, not to Hillary, not to The Denver Group, and it has never gone to Nobama, of course.
I agree. I will lose all respect for the Clintons and anyone else that tries to make me fall in line behind “The One” blowhard.
I will never be able to trust them on anything.
good to know bot
as if…
im always with Hill and Big Dawg
they have done an enormous amount for me and I dont spin in the wind
I will also be with Hill and the Big Dawg till the bitter end. They love America and care more about the American people than any politicians around today. Hillary could be living the easy life as a former first lady- instead she puts herself in the the way of fire and tolerates the disrespect she gets from low lifes in the media, some of her Democratic colleagues and the DNC leadership and the Obamabots because of her passion for her beliefs and what is best for America. She is the true leader of the pack- the tested, proven, experienced leader America needs now. Tell me Obama knows the first think of what to do about Georgia? Does he even care? He is off to his vacation in Hawaii of all places- the alleged home of his birth certificate. PARTY UNITY MY ASS- it will never happen for me.
Hillary 08, if not,
McCain 08
I, too, am with them all the way. I’m also not privy to their strategy. Who knows what will happen in Denver. Lou, do you know something the rest of us don’t? Did she get the nod?
They TROLL, because they are AFRAID.
They are VERY AFRAID.
They’re even trying to be a bit more “complex” in their stupid little arguments, too.
But just remember–every Obot post is a transmission from Camp O, telegraphing their Real Fear to us.
It’s rather…empowering.
If we didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be here.
I am in somewhat agreement with you. I heard Hillary tonite campaigning for Obambi and got a sick feeling in my stomach. I will support her in every way, EXCEPT voting for him. I just can’t figure out why she needs to do this. Having said that, she may have reasons but I can only go so far. Bless you Hillary but I can’t vote for the worst candidate, and neither should you.
If Hillary wants to remain in the Senate or run for office again in any capacity, she must do this. I cannot cite a source because it was from a personal conversation with someone close to Hillary…but the DNC has made it clear to Hillary over the last few days to drop the convention and roll call talk or they will ruin her. Hillary and Bill also face their names and good work going down in history as spoilers and sore losers and racists and all the nasty, dispicable things obama can say. This is very tough for them and she is furious. She will have to handle it as she sees fit. If she loses supporters because of anything she does…well, she really has little choice. The DNC and Obama make me sick.
Thank You for explaining this to the people I agree She HAS TO DO THIS
yes without having inside info, it is just how it is and how it works,
and she is dpoing what she can to lok out for us, they KNOW what will come out about Obummer and they KNOW he will never be elected,
there is nothing they can do with the party leaders like Rangel Frank in NYC, Pelosi Reid in Congress, Dean at DNC and Soros money holding a gun to their heads.
they have not abandoned us they arent leaving us to retire and go siesta for God’s sake.
they know he wont be elected and MAC is a good man, they know Hill is better but they have been pushed out, FOR NOW
the party has been hijacked, FOR NOW
it is up to US now
If you want to know what’s on the “mind” of the DNC just tuned in to their flunkies on talk radio like Ed Schultz or Rachel Maddow.. Speaking of ace DNC and Obama flunkie Ed Schultz I caught part of his show the other day(I stop listening to Ed few months back when Ed went into the tank for Obama)and the talking point of the day was Hillary and her supporters are harming Democratic “unity” for demanding something that every person who ran before Hillary Clinton got a chance to have a roll call yet not in this case.
The DNC and the Obama camp has made the outcome of the 2000 and 2004 elections look legit compare to what happened during the primary, and say what you will about the Republicans at least the RNC and President short bus rewarded McCain for taking the slime bath back in 2000.
The DNC on the other hand told the only Democrat in the last 30 years to get re-elected as president and his twice elected United States senator wife do what we want or else. And the clueless trio still wonder why people aren’t jumping aboard the magical Obama unity bus ride.
And seeing how the DNC did all they could to ensure Obama the nomination I wouldn’t be shock if they try to harm Hillary’s political career if Obama loses.
While I understand your frustration, Max, especially after yesterday’s chat session, I think you’re being too hard on the Clinton’s. I’m sure they’re as taken aback as the rest of us at the party leadership’s treament of them, especially since they have done so much for both the party and the country. Hillary’s facing a reelection fight in a couple of years, and let’s face it, an Independent candidate has never won the presidency. She’s looking to her political future and without a lot of options at this point.
The only thing that we can do for her, and ourselves, right now is to help her pay off her debt, refuse to go along, and make ourselves a royal pain in the DNC’s ass. When Obama goes down in flames, it will bring down Dean and the others, in my opinion, especially if he loses big and pulls down a bunch of down-ticket candidates in the process. The one thing that no party will tolerate is big loses. That should be our goal.
(And for any lurking trolls, I am not a Republican. I am and will continue to be loyal Democrat when the party gets its act together again. I am fighting for the heart and soul of my party.)
For those of you judging Hillary’s actions, first you work for 35+ years to achieve certain goals, only to have the system that you have served turn it’s back on you. As she said in her suspension speech, she has made a commitment to fight for the disenfranchised, and for health care, the environment, education etc. How can she do this outside the system? Do you expect her to destroy what little political capital she has left to be exiled and ineffective? She is a professional, and she knows how to work with limitations to get her goals accomplished. Like it or not, she needs her colleagues assistance to push bills through Congress. She keeps her vision long-term.
frakkin A
thank you everybody I am getting sick of the plaints about Hill and Big Dawg my God how many knives have they taken for us and they still are….
HILLARY IS POTUS
WooT!
Just a little off topic, but has anyone taken a look at this Time piece about the McCain ad making Ibama appear as the AntiChrist?
http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1830590,00.html?cnn=yes
I’ve heard the AntiChrist comparison before, and while I firmly believe Ibama would be worse than a George W Presidency, I am not ready to call him the Great Satan.
But, after reading this in Time, I find it amazing how Barky Boy has created an image that is “Balls on Accurate” identical to the AntiChrist in the evangelical “Left Behind” books.
From Time: “The Antichrist of the Left Behind books is a charismatic young political leader named Nicolae Carpathia who founds the One World religion (slogan: “We Are God”) and promises to heal the world after a time of deep division.”
And More: “In the Left Behind books, Carpathia is a junior Senator who speaks several languages, is beloved by people around the world and fawned over by a press corps that cannot see his evil nature, and rises to absurd prominence after delivering just one major speech.”
It is as if Barky read the books, and said, “I want to be just like that son of Satan guy”
I doubt Barky read the books. Maybe he just read reviews. But more likely he came up with a decision all on his own (with a little help from his friends) to create an image that is uncanny in it’s resemblence to what the bible calls the Prince of Darkness.
Barky does not have a good track record in picking friends and mentors. But his pick of who he wants to emulate is downright frightening.
Makes you wonder what he means by “Judgement”.
Reminds me of Chance in Jerzy Kosinski’s Being There.
“Scuse me, where’s the remote?
Yes, just found one a group raising money for Obama outside of the United States, I have a feeling they aren’t citizens; Geez
here is the link, on the video at about 56 seconds is where you hear they are raising money for Obama, then a little further how much they have raised for him. It would be illegal for any candidate in the U.S. to accept money from foreign nationals?
cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=3906861&cl=9193765&ch=4226714&src=news
Pat, I will add the big one, kinda like a Edward G. Hopper. They did not vet The O.
And zero is what we got.
I love this! They had better figure this out soon or it will be McCain as President.
Click on my name and go to my blog—-I have a new obama hand gesture (this is related to the previous post today about that stupid “sign of progress” salute)
LOL
PS,
I’m beginning to wonder if their is something in our lattes that makes so darn many of us come from the NW!
There’s you, me, S. Moss. NWRain, StrawberryBB, A certain Moderator, and others…If I left you out, forgive me and list yourself.
Seattle Moss and I are trying to go to a ballgame at Safeco and I think it would be a blast to meet you guys face to face. Oh yeah, I promise no potty mouth at the F**king ballgame!
We have a means of keep identities secure so we can get together without ‘bot-ulism being a problem.
Let’s see how many would like to come and if its enough, we’ll do ‘er up right.
Regards
I’ll go—me, you guys, beer and baseball. What could be better? Oh yeah, NO BO and Hillary as our nominee!
Terrific!
Az ze shpy onze zaid,
“Ve vil be een toutch!
All NW Puma’s and affiliates! Let Seattle Moss and me know if you’d like to try to take in a game together.
We’ve got some time, so we can make this fun…
I’m hoping for four of us at a minimum so we can spell PUMA.
(Don’t worry, Bots aren’t dangerous in the open… and I really DO stomp my own snakes!)
As one of my three daughters says, no true adventure ever starts without the words, “C’mon, it’ll be Fun!”
Loved your site, PugetSoundIslandGirl. Saved it in my favorites. Both the alternate hand gesture and the hand puppet video were hoots!
I only have one gesture for obama and it is made with just one digit in the middle of my hand….as for his salute….makes them all look like big fat zeros. It is as stupid, if not more, than obama’s faux presidential seal…his audacity of stupidity reigns supreme
Allowing a campaign to viciously and aggressively attack the most successful Democratic president of the past 40 years, and the former First Lady and ALL of her supporters. In all my years of being a voting Democrat, and there have been at least 30 of them, I have never had a candidate or his supporters attack ME.
The Obama campaign has attacked Democratic voters who don’t support him calling us low information, racists, bitter old hags, typical white people, ignorant, and on and on. This is how he’s trying to win support by creating an in-group and an out-group, and making people worried about being shamed for being in the out-group. Sorry, but those tactics are shameful and I won’t reward any candidate with my vote who doesn’t appeal to me for it. Obama has destroyed the Democratic brand and the DNC has allowed him to do it.
I know they allowed this to happen because African American leaders were threatening to leave the Democratic Party and take all African Americans with them (as if they could) if Obama wasn’t given the nomination. But being a Democrat isn’t about being black or female or hispanic or asian or gay or lesbian or a laborer it’s about equal rights (or used to be) and about the elevation of all Americans not just the few with wealth and power. Obama has no allegiance to Democratic values and he goes against them almost every day. If African Americans don’t want to be members of the Party that is doing more to end discrimination and unequal pay and opportunity then they shouldn’t be. The DNC certainly shouldn’t let the African American leaders of the Democratic Party treat the rest of the Party like ignorant racists…that does nothing good for any of us.
Hear! Hear! Ann. Great comment.
I agree entirely. I know democrats and Obama ain’t one. Neither are his sheep-dip trolls.
Actually about 5 African American women called into DCMediaGirl’s show the other night to say they are PUMAs and do not like Obama, and have been called racist! One was even called a racist by her own father. LOL.
I thought the spots would have been worn off that card by now. No such luck.
Okay. Call me a stupid white woman, but how can AA women who don’t happen to support Obama be called racists? Race traitors, perhaps. Ugly, but at least a more accurate insult. Any white person who supported the civil rights action in the mid to late 60s heard that one–race traitor. Abolitionists heard it, too, more than a century earlier.
But racists?
It’s a sad and vivid example how Obamatrons have diluted a strong, tough word, a word to make us reconsider our attitudes and language and actions and effectively neutered it, rendered that same weighty, historical word to meaningless hogwash.
To their shame, I might add. To their never-ending shame.
Exactly. Just like the neoclowns used the word “liberal” so often that it meant “anyone against them” and ultimately came to mean nothing.
Isn’t “race traitor” just another racist term? Back in the day, it seems like racism=prejudice=stereotypes. Racism, to pick the short one, is basically assigning preference on the basis of external appearances and myths about people who have a certain set of external appearances. This could be pro white, pro black, pro whatever. That is, it is a positive preference and the corollary is to reject people who don’t share your prejudices. Thus people become separated by racism. What to do? Obviously it hurts society and individuals.
Sad to say, but it is almost hardwired into us to make snap stereotype judgments about others, and the quickest way (maybe necessary for our primitive survival) is based on obvious surface features. Becoming civilized and fair means constantly beating this primitive tendency down. After years of conditioning to reject being a “racist” or a “race traitor” or suffer social pain, the name alone evokes a conditioned mental response. All these race-baiters of every stripe are guilt-tripping the people who can’t rise above the conditioning.
Couldn’t have said it half so well, ann.

Perry,
You got one weird but effective video. I laughed and laughed and got the point. Check it out folks…I guarantee it is one of a kind!
Agree with Tricia - especially this part:
But being a Democrat isn’t about being black or female or hispanic or asian or gay or lesbian or a laborer it’s about equal rights (or used to be) and about the elevation of all Americans not just the few with wealth and power.
I want everyone to be treated equally, not made equal.
We have to be careful not to do what the Obama campaign tries to do to us. It was Charlie Rangel who encouraged Hillary to run for NY Senator to begin with and he calls her “his girl.” He was pressured as much as she was to get her to drop out after the last primary night. If you remember May 31 - and who can forget? It’s burned into my memory, some of the strongest speakers in favor of seating ALL the FL and MI voters were African-American women. Stephanie Tubbs Jones stuck with Hillary throughout - a very strong voice in her favor against Obama.
I don’t think we can say that the Black community in the DNC caused this. I DO think that it was engineered, but the parties responsible and their reasons are far more covert and insidious than we can see. And THAT scares me!
Stephanie Tubbs Jones was awesome during the primaries. I read STJ may pay a price for her loyalty by losing her seat this fall. I hope that’s not true.
Ann…
To AA’s or ANYONE who uses cheap blackmail tactics, I say: “Don’t let the door hit you in the ass”.
amen ann! i luvr hrc to pieces. she is the most qualified of these 3 to be POTUS44, hand’s down.
that said, as much as i luvr and respect her i just cannot vote the obmama-fraud into our White House. this presidential campaign is about country over party. if i am not able to vote HRC for POTUS then i just say NO DEAL to obamanation.
PUMA PUMA PUMA!
I agree with both Pat..’s and Ann’s lists of grievances. Great comments in both places.
Does any body knows if the superdelegates vote is secret or if they vote with the other delegates for the nominee of their choice? I’m helping an European Puma write her blog and she needs the precision.
Don’t know if they vote at the same time as the other delegates but they don’t vote in secret. Their choices will be known.
I thought it was secret ballot and thus the absolute PANIC the Axelrasputin crew is in to block a nomination, they couldnt hold feet to the fire on a secret ballot, hmmm?
The Clinton’s have no choice but to steer a careful course through the mess the DNC has created. They can not just walk away if they hope to continue to be a force in the party. Nothing they say about Obama will sway my opinion however. But I will not hold their attempts at party unity against them.
Obama is responsible for my opinion of Obama. Him and him alone. He is the one who decided to run for president before he had any experience. He voted for the Cheney Energy bill and for FISA. He joined a racist church and touted separatist theology for 20 years. He campaigned with anti-gay ministers. He does not support UHC, and has touted social security privatization. He supported John Roberts for SCOTUS and would chip away the foundation of RoevWade as much as any Republican.
Obama is no democrat by my definition. Those who believe he will magically become one once in office are worse than naive.
I means do the superdelegates vote with a secret ballot or do they declare themselves openly on the floor at the time of roll call?
Pat Wow, this is a great symbol for the PUMA movement and for what is wrong with the DNC and the Obama campaign.
I don’t understand all this healing and coming together business. How can one heal if you do not first fix the problems? How can you come together while continuing to do the same behaviors that ripped us apart?
Rich
Obama is such a dolt. We don’t need “catharsis.” He just wants to skip over real voters concerns and expects energy and enthusiasm. How is he supposed to be such a great “uniter” when he cannot listen to opposing opinions with tolerance and bring differing factions together? How is he supposed to work with hostile foreign leaders? They have exhibited this same tone deaf, bullying behavior all along, and it will fail.
Great work Pat!
I have wondered many times about how the women serving in Iraq feel about the sexism in America.
It’s time THIS discrimination is stopped!
Pat, love the cartoon and your thoughts. I’m mad as hell, too. Is the party being taken over by Black Liberation Theology?
I recommend Paula’s article:

I don’t understand all this healing and coming together business. How can one heal if you do not first fix the problems? How can you come together while continuing to do the same behaviors that ripped us apart?
First let’s see the DNC and the Obama Party give Hillary what she has earned. For me the minimum would be the respect she has earned and a chance to have her delegates vote for her in a way that has meaning. 18 million people and all of the states deserve no less.
Rich
I am reading the comment posted by Clara Barton and it makes me sick to see that the DNC and O are that powerful now that they can force Hillary to bow to their demands. It is frightning. If they get their way at the convention, not only I will vote MC but I think I am even getting ready to contribute and even may be to work for MC campaign. I can believe it is coming to that.
Great!
Since when do we permit and even think its cute for a man running for the potus stand on national tv and give the finger to the former First Lady. Then to act as though he is brushing her off his coat. Disgusting behavior That kind of stuff doesn’t get my vote and I don’t give a tiddlywind what the BARKY campaign call me.
Donna Brazille said we don’t need you there is a train leaving catch it. So I caught the train right down to the election office and I left the Democrat party. Just took them at their word they don;t want us in their party, if thats not racist I don’t know what is, Oh but its ok for a black person to be racist towards a white person, its just that it is not ok for a white person to be racist toward a black person. I gir it.
Oh this totally says it, great one Pat!
In the new abc Katie Snow/Bill Clinton interview Bill says this:
“Everybody has the right to run for president if they qualify under the constitution.”
Does anybody else think that these words seem strange? “qualify under the constitution?” Why did he say that, does he know something we have only heard rumors about? Mmmmmm
Here’s the link:
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=5506458
Hey there trollie what about that fraudlent birth certificate. Do you really think the republicans are going to permit him to take office. I think not. H e is not qualified to take office . Wait until November see who will be laughing then.
1. Looking the other way when voter fraud is reported. (BoBo supporters inside polling places with pre-filled out ballots for those who needed help voting.)
2. Rigging the Mich./Fla. scenario to take votes away from Hillary based on what might have been.
3. Ignoring the fact that BoBo ran ads in Florida and Hillary didn’t.
4. Ignoring the fact that several other states moved their primaries up far more than either Michigan or Florida.
5. Insulting the intelligence of 18 million voters who chose the best candidate by pretending we don’t really matter.
Since Iowa the msm waged a war on Hillary. After the caucus they relentlessly badgered her to drop out–even after she won Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio etc they didn’t let up and the DNC stood by and did nothing. Dean and Pelosi would not stop the insanity, instead they caved in to Brazile and threats of racism if they went against BO. Now, after the takeover Hillary’s against the wall trying to appease the cowards and be ready if necessary if BO is exposed. And notice BO’s people are still trying to derail her, the Atlantic Monthly memos next week.
What’s in the memos could be more damming for Dumbo than Hillary. It could be some dirt on BO being leaked. Like the BC fraud, or any number of things.
Hillary’simply
I so hope you’re right.
…and that’s the most important thing for her to do right now - remain ready, wait in the wings. I just feel it in my bones that his big mistake is either still coming or still to come out. She’ll have to remain in the fold if she’s going to pick up the pieces of this sorry party.
I agree. If he makes a huge gaffe between now and the convention, she could come right back in. If he doesn’t, he’ll still lose in November. Then she can run in 2012.
I just hope to God she doesn’t agree to be his
food tasterVice President.I think we should not worry too much about Obama winning the election as he will be in prison before GE if not before Convention.
Wishful thinking? Or do you know something?
My concern is also over campaign contributions; there is no way to check the citizenship status of a campaign donor online or via the mail, a person simply checks a box, and they can donate. No proof as in a ss# or anything(not that a ss# can’t be faked) . Not a good thing to not have a safeguard in place for donations, no matter who the candidate is. You can contribute as a citizen or green card holder. If there is no requirement to prove either, what is to stop any and everyone from who knows where of donating and influencing our elections. This should be a huge concern to everyone.
Good point, Kat. It’s interesting, now that I think about it, that the presumptive nominee gets to vet the VP contenders, but the same vetting isn’t done for the top slot. Where did all his $$ really come from?
If this loads, it is a live stream from Hawaii of his public event today.
http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?Category=Livestream
(From HonoluluAdvertiser.com)
Obama has visited every state except for Hawai’i and Alaska during his campaign. Some of his local volunteers were pushing for a public event after only the fundraiser appeared on his schedule. Local Obama organizers had discussed some type of public event — possibly at Magic Island — before the Ke’ehi Lagoon stop was announced yesterday afternoon.
The late announcement of the public event has caused some unease among those enjoying the annual Samoan Flag Day festivities at Ke’ehi Lagoon yesterday.
Alo F. Williams, head of the council of Samoan Chiefs and Orators in Hawai’i, said his group has a city permit that he believes gives it exclusive use of the entire park until Sunday.
Williams said hundreds of Samoans and others are expected to be at the park at 3 p.m. for a rugby championship.
Bill Brennan, a city spokesman, said the Obama appearance would not conflict with the Samoan Flag Day celebration. “They’re at opposite ends of the park and both will be able to go on as planned,” he said.
Andy Winer, Obama’s state director, said the Obama event likely will take up space in the park between 12:30 and 3:30 p.m. He said local organizers are aware of the Samoans’ concerns.
“We’re going to be able to work it out,” he said.
Winer said he did not have an estimate for the expected crowd at the rally and noted that it was being held on a Friday afternoon, near an area of heavy traffic, on the opening day of the Olympics
Backtrack will have is minions say all of the crowds in the park were for him.
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS
PUMAS,BUBBAS,AND THOSE PEOPLE RULE
Obama is not the anti christ. But his church of 20 yrs with its black liberation theology is dangerously close to that of Jim Jones followers.
“The Peoples Temple was initially structured as an inter-racial mission for the sick, homeless and jobless. He assembled a large following of over 900 members in Indianapolis IN during the 1950’s.
“He preached a ’social gospel’ of human freedom, equality, and love, which required helping the least and the lowliest of society’s members. Later on, however, this gospel became explicitly socialistic, or communistic in Jones’ own view, and the hypocrisy of white Christianity was ridiculed while ‘apostolic socialism’ was preached.”
It doesn’t help that some of his supporters are very creepy in their adulation of him.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm ….The adulation part is what confounds me. I remember once Oprah was talking about not wearing a slip under a dress and her mother said “You can see everything!” And Oprah kept asking, “What do you SEE?” When I hear these Obamanuts, I wonder the same thing. What do they SEE? He’s as flimsy as a sundress, but, oddly, not transparent - or even translucent.
Boogieman at Hire Heels thinks the Obama-nation is a cult. That could explain the adulation. Weird!
I really like the picture and sign! It’s very effective!
me too…I would love to have this on a t-shirt. Beautiful!
Any Hillary supporters will know Hillary has to do what she has to do.Hillary ics tied right now,and being closly watch.I love Hillary.Noone of Hillary supporters will never say what the above post had said.Johnny at Work I think the blame should go to the democratic party the people in the above picture as well as Obama.
I will support Hillary all the way to Denver.But,I can say this..I will not support Obama or vote Obama.He can say or do what ever he wants to Hillary supporters as Hillary runs and does speeches for Obama.That’s Obama always in this campaign had people wrighting his speeches-He stole other speeches and work.He has nothing bur an emtry suit.I will not vote Obama I will wait for Hillary and then go McCain if needed to go.
THE DNC CAN K-M-A I WILL NEVER FALL IN THEIR UNGLY CHEATED DON’T CARE OF THE PEOPLE LINE.
Hillary if you see this..We all are here for you and love you.We will wait for you for DFenver.We are not giving up on Denver.
I miss u Hillary!
