Hillary’s Growing Shadow
By Pat Racimora on August 13, 2008 at 8:30 PM in Barack Obama, Democratic National Convention, Democratic Nomination, Hillary Clinton, Qualifications
Thanks to Victor Davis Hanson over at Real Clear Politics for the title that grabbed my attention. So, here’s my take on the image that popped right into my right brain.
The more the DNC and Obama ignore a candidate who deserves her day, the more they drag their feet about what to do with her, the larger and larger the shadow over Obama grows. Denver may end up being more about Hillary Clinton than Barack Obama!
How absolutely frightened of her they must be—and probably even more terrified of us, we who are not taking lightly the outrage over being saddled with a candidate who has way too little experience for the job. It shows more each day in increasingly scary ways.
The shadow only bears a likeness to Hillary, for she is not actually standing there. The shadow is made up of the millions of us who have had it with the way this primary played out—the rampant sexism, the media bias, and the manipulations that make those of us who have been loyal Democrats since the day we cast our first vote as teenagers wondering why our party has drifted into madness.
Oh…Pat I think this is your best one yet…..Terrific…..Truly
Yes, indeed!
Hahahhaa! I love it!!
Awesome Lady in a Pant Suit shadow!!! Brilliant!
Yea, Pat needs to post this on hillaryclinton.com
WOW!
Kudos! Should be in print in evey USA morning newspaper.
Hail, yes, to the true champion Madame President Hillary Rodham Clinton!
Hail to the “champion Madame President Hillary Clinton” Yes, absolutely, positevly. I am a coloradan woman, and I will mke sure, that will be there. Haward Dean will be kick out, Pelosi will loose in California, Richardson in N.Mexico, Reid in Nevada. I will be a great lesson to those, who betray AS, the true Democrats, for power, money,their eagle, corruption!!! Time is coming, about time for Democrativ Party, to put on top chair, people who are a devoted, but not stupid and corrupted democratts, like those above!!!
Woopie Goldberd lead US, You got my respect!!!
I agree this is THE BEST yet! you absolutely MUST publish a compilation book!
PMM,
Let’s get the Governor’s attention, speaking of compilation.
You’re the Best.
Shout out to Sgt. Patsy Soldier4Hillary!
I’m with PMM Pat - this one is your best!
I second that suggestion, Pat. A compilation book. I would love to buy a book with all those great pix of yours from this campaign.
The democrats are tools.
The super delegates are so worried about nominating the best candidate who happens to be both a woman and white.
They think there will be riots from the AA and communists and America haters. They’re wussies!!
The real riots will happen after November when Obama looses in the biggest landslide defeat in US history.
Race relations are going to be set back 50 years after this election.
One of them already has been shot. I’d be worried too.
and we lost two
John and Bobby
and John Lennon
that comment about one of them being shot is uncalled for you insensitive jerk.
ARpuma….Darryl might be alluding to the Democratic Party Chair that was shot today in Arkansas….maybe…..
Seattle Moss - I’m afraid that has ALREADY happened.
I agree with you totally.
When you see 99% of AA voting for Obama you know it’s about race.
When Colin Powell endorses Obama along with far right loonies like Watts and Sowell you got to ask yourself what about me.
The time has come to defend my Bitter roots!
Yes, but please remember that “99% of AA’s” is a media distortion. Right off the bat, about half of the black population doesn’t vote, just like other races in this country. And next, 22% vote Republican.Then there are people who flat out know a used car salesman when they see one.
When all is said and done, what we’re really looking at is probably closer to 35 percent of the black population being 99% behind Obama.
I thought Powell DIDNT endorse him and turned down the VP thought too
Thomas Sowell has not endorsed Barack Obama. Why do you say that? Sowell is anything but a race man.
Seattle Moss,
Don’t believe that 99% #.
Many African Americans do not support Sen Obama-Read why.

“Black Agenda Report”
The Journal of African American Political Thought and Action
This segment of the black community does not support Sen. Obama.
http://barrysoetoro.us/
and
uhurunews.com
Some us do realize that like any other group, when Obama gets what he wants, Obama is through with you.
He will trash anyone that gets in his way. That includes black people.
Maybe I was stretching a bit with the 99%
Watts on Hannity has said often that he is not sure who he will vote for despite being a right wing republican.
Sowell in an article a month ago said also that he was undecided and was giving Obama serious consideration.
This is disturbing to me..
If the democrat was white these AA right wing conservatives wouldn’t even consider for a moment a democrat for president.
Now they’re not all like that…
Michael Steele is a great American and an AA and is not afraid to go after Obama
Thanks for the site.
I found this interesting..
Blacks have been set up for a fall. “To the extent that African Americans expect more from Barack Obama than they got from Bill Clinton, they will be devastatingly disappointed.”
I’ve read what Sowell said about Obama. He’s not endorsing him.
No election will ever be the same ever again!
Without Hillary the democrats are dead and soon to be buried!
wonderful image….and with HRC hands on hips is perfect.
The RCP article you quote is good, giving reasons why Obambi will probably lose and why he is doing so poorly…the money quote:
Yep…Obama reminds my of my shifty little brother…lol
Really good, Pat! Thanks!
Really good, Pat!
Pat: excellent and poignant. Thank you.
I would say that Hillary should consider it a compliment that she could instill such fear in the Democrats because of her intelligence, competence and leadership qualities but the country needs her very badly and the fact that the Party won’t do anything to renounce BO is disgusting. We who know that he is not competent to run for anything will never vote for him and they know that we are 18 million strong no matter what the polls say.
They have no choice now. His school records have been found, raising a mess of legal questions including possible disbarment and impeachment from his senate seat. Hillary is the only candidate left in contention for the Denver Convention. Ain’t it sweet!!
http://purplechiten.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/baracks-barry-soetoro-school-records-found/
Are there any records of Soetero adopting little Barry?
Somehow, there are so few records in this guy’s life! It’s almost as if he was born in 19th Century instead of the 20th.
When did his mother marry Barack Obama Sr.? Records?
When did she divorce Obama Sr.? Records?
When did she marry Soetero? Records?
When did she divorce Soetero? Records?
Amazing! How did Obama ever get a passport?
Dunno, but there are official school records with the information he has denied publically for the past 20 or so years.
TD’s still working and is getting hits like crazy over there (I kinda posted it everywhere I could think of. sorry if it crashes the site TD, please forgive me, it’s just toooo damn good not to get out there!).
Stay tuned to NQ and TD to get the latest as they are the best “citizen journalists” on the net.
CUIL — GREAT NEWS!
Thank you TD and Chiten. Gawd, unbelievable!
Chiten, please send this to the National Enquirer as they’re doing more journalism than MSM. Thank you again, and you too, TD. You are appreciated.
love your work and your right brain!
Anyone know what texas darling has in photo’s?Can something post a link here please.
there’s a link to her latest story in what I just put up on my blog…and it’s BIG!!!
http://purplechiten.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/baracks-barry-soetoro-school-records-found/
I am sadden by the event of the day in Arkansa… Bill Gwatney Arkansas Democratic leader dies afther shooting… my his soul rest in peace.
Who is responsible for that?
They haven’t released any further information yet.
I was watching the news this morning when the story broke. They said that the shooter was shot, but the police said that “he was shot in a manner that wouldn’t cause a fatal injury”. Well low and behold, he died. I just thought that was wierd.
Yes, we noticed that too. One minute they said he had been taken into custody and the next he was dead.
I heard both FOX and CNN report today that the suspect had been “apprehended and killed”, a phrase I’ve never heard before. It sounds like it’s intended to have a subliminal meaning.
Evidently, the FBI got involved right away, which made me think about how the U.S. Attorney in this state was one of the nine replaced by Karl Rove.
A lot of other coincidences, too. A murder attempt of a Clinton superdelegate two weeks before the Democratic convention — in Arkansas, where Bill Clinton was governor for 12 years and knows all the Democrats there, including this fellow — and during a delegate defection crisis that has Rove so worried, he got a bunch of Republican congressmen to come out and publicly endorse Obama today.
Makes you wonder if Hillary Clinton was indeed blackmailed on June 4th.
I also noticed a story online that said Obama very recently was in touch with this state party leader about opening a campaign office, even though he got 26% of the vote in the primary. Almost as if they were setting up their cover story in advance to sidestep any suspicion…
(click on my screen name for more about Rove and the Dem. primaries)
I am from North Dakota and the talk around here is unreal. The people that thought about Obama are moving now to McCain as they see how corrupt the DNC is. They are so upset how Hillary was treated. I tell you if Obama is the nominee the outrage will be seen in November. McCain will win by a landslide and the people will remember everybody in the senate, etc that was in the tank for Obama. The Democratic party will be dead.
Someone ought to tell Ed Schutlz, he said Obama is taking the state by storm and has so many grassroots workers there, that he may win by a huge margin. I think Ed is going to be one sick puppy
after election day.
Yes, we are there and we promised to “have her back” as she did for us. There is a feeling of pressure, as before a storm and frustration like trying to untie a knot. Everyday is one less day until convention and I am convinced, no matter what precautions are taken, it will be an ugly display of tyranny. Everyday, there is another piece of info. just when it seems it couldn’t get any worse, it does.
Thanks Pat–made me laugh out loud. A picture says a thousand words…
Today I got a call from a DEM running for Congress in Western Michiganistan, he said I had supported Hillary and he needed some money too. I told him I was done with the DEMS after they changed my vote and that the Party needs to be purged of people like Dean and Brazile and restore DEMOCRACY to their Party. Told him I would never vote for Barry.

Cyber fist bump for Texasdarlin.
Yeah…Just went over to read it and Benjamin’s latest. True Patriots.
Obama is headed for Political Oblivion…And It cannot be soon enough.
chuckle
Gary Hart and John ( Iblomyhair and anyone else ) Edwards are mixing cocktails in the lounge waiting for Barry….This is startin to get maniacally funny…..
lmao Artist, I dribbled coffee down my chin on that image.
Warm fuzzy feelings going on here!
*Breaking* Photo Documents Barry Soetoro: Indonesian Citizenship, Muslim Religion
Texas Darling has the registration form from Indonesia.
http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/breaking-photo-documents-barry-soetoro-indonesian/
and information that Obama lied on a key state application where he said he had used no other names before. It is worth a read. Also seems to confirm again his BC says “Barry Soetoro”
And lied to the Illinois Supreme Court when asked to provide former names, according to this Attorney’s Registration Record.
hmmm.
This is BIG. Where are the trolls now we have proof that he is a LIAR,LIAR,LIAR.
You’ve chased them all away. Sorry.
The Trolls found out that we’re for real!
Not the sour grape types..
We are Patriots who are well informed and value Country before party.
Many of us have found that the democrat party is run by a bunch of sexist thugs who would love to destroy America and build a socialist Marxist dictatorship in it’s place.
The trolls have found out..
We decide all elections!!!!
If the AP has had this document since Jan, 2007, why are they just now releasing it? Never mind. I guess I know the answer to that, don’t I? They should be called to account for with holding this info. Do you think msn might pay attention to this? This could be why he taking another vacation right now?
That’s what I was wondering. If it’s been public knowledge for 1 1/2 years, why hasn’t anyone come across it before? This is strange.
Regardless, it’s here now. I doubt anyone in the MSM will report on it. Send it to ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CNN, NYT, WP, etc. etc. - none will investigate it or report on it. There is something much bigger than koolade at work here and I can’t figure out what it is. It’s like all reality has been suspended by Obamaites.
This could be one of the things the Repubs have been holding back until after the convention.
That’s a damn good question. That’s 2 1/2 years they have had the info and done nothing with it. They should definitely be called on it!
http://purplechiten.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/baracks-barry-soetoro-school-records-found/
sorry, didn’t mean to post the link again, I already posted it here
The Chicago Tribune addressed this issue in March. They claim the information was rife with “error” and their reasoning was…that it listed Barry’s religion the same as his stepfather’s and that it failed to even mention his mother. And if that was the way their paternal society was, mentioning the stepfather and not the mother, how is that rife with error?
See for yourselves how they tried to downplay the fact that Barry went to the mosque with his stepfather by emphasizing “rarely” plus said they were all such loose and carefree Muslims there, wearing MINI-SKIRTS and allowing Christmas celebrations!
So Barry and the Soetoros were loose, freelovin’ Muslims. Whatever.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0703250340mar25,0,4122936.story
Obama’s stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, was much more of a free spirit than a devout Muslim, according to former friends and neighbors. And the school described as an Islamic madrassa in media reports actually was a public school, so progressive that teachers wore miniskirts and all students were encouraged to celebrate Christmas.
Interviews with dozens of former classmates, teachers, neighbors and friends show that Obama was not a regular practicing Muslim when he was in Indonesia, despite being listed as a Muslim on the registration form for the Catholic school, Strada Asisia, where he attended 1st through 3rd grades.
At the time, the school most likely registered children based on the religion of their fathers, said Darmawan, Obama’s former teacher. Because Soetoro was a Muslim, Obama was listed as a Muslim, she said.
The enrollment form from the Catholic school, which has been cited as evidence that Obama was a Muslim in Indonesia, also was rife with errors. It listed Obama as an Indonesian, listed his previous school incorrectly and failed to list his mother, Ann, at all.
Mosque visits rare
Obama and his mother moved from Honolulu to Jakarta to join Soetoro in 1967, when Obama was 6. Here, Obama became “Barry Soetoro.”
In their first neighborhood, Obama occasionally followed his stepfather to the mosque for Friday prayers, a few neighbors said. But Soetoro usually was too busy working, first for the Indonesian army and later for a Western oil company.
“Sometimes Lolo went to the mosque to pray, but he rarely socialized with people,” said Fermina Katarina Sinaga, Obama’s 3rd-grade teacher at the Catholic school, who lived near the family. “Rarely, Barry went to the mosque with Lolo.”
Here’s Obama on CNN on June 18, 2008 denying he was ever a muslim:
Chuckle…..I can see the WORM….a comin….
” I was never a Muslim although it appears that I was a registered Muslim many years ago by my dead typical Totalitarian Muslim Stepfather who adopted me even though I was never really adopted. And my phony adoption that isn’t recognized under US LAW was really forced on my typical hippie single Cracker Mommy who was suffering Mandingo Pangs for my long lost Real African Daddy whose name I always kept secretly even though I had to use this Soetero name so my Hippie Mommy could get Her Food Stamps in Indonesia. We were all of us victims of Racism in America even though I was not living there at the time. I always secretly prayed to Jesus even if I was in a mosque and it sounded like a muslim prayer…..Hey do you Folks like my shiny new Flag Pin ? ” - Transcript of Obama’s notes on his speech at the Upcoming Democratic Convention in Denver this August.
You’re a riot WCA.
We need to keep laughing at all this, despite the absolutely dead serious horror of it all along.
Great job as always, Pat. A picture paints a thousand words and you always sum up the crux of it.
Rise, Hillary’s Shadow, Rise.
Reminds me of this old show:
“Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!”
ROTFLMAO!!!!
Obama’s Indonesian registration
You should see even Media Matters and the Chicago Tribune bending over backwards to try to downplay that little Barry Soetoro was a Muslim. They emphasized that Barry and his stepfather RARELY went to the mosque.
lol!
Is that like being a “little bit” pregnant?
Well. well, not only does Hillary cast a big and troublesome shadow but Barry’s own past and his caught on video lies are also roiling and brewing up a whole shytstorm!
It couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy…
It is of course his own creation, and he can take credit for it.
Your designation of the shadow being all of us is great Pat. Another great cartoon. I wish Larry would put a file on the site so we could see all of your cartoons in one place.
It is going to be fun to watch what happens each night of the convention. Is it possible that there could be an unexpected outcome?
Barack Barry Hussein Obama Soetoro. That’s not going to fit on the dollar bill.
good one! funny.
Will they both make speeches in Denver?
Yes, right after Deval Patrick.
LOL!
but then Barry and his evil twin Barack would think that there should be a whole new three dollar bill made just for them!!!
Hey! That’s not fair…Just you wait until I get a bigger bus to throw you under!
Simonov….chuckle….Maybe Obama can pose in a stylish Sarong…lol
LOL!!!!!!
When they nominate him how do they call it?
It will be candidate Barack Obama and his little VP, Barry Soetoro. That way he won’t have to feel upstaged by anybody. And if he wants to hold two opposing opinions at the same time, he can just blame it on his alter-ego.
Talk about not knowing if he is coming or going. Yikes!!!
I was thinking about this Obarunum’s alter-ego as well. When he says that “I’m” not an Indonesian citizen, that “I” could be “Barack Obama” but “Barry Soetoro” is an Indonesian citizen.
Let’s send this clown back to Hawaii/Mercer Island/Indonesia/Kenya, etc.
Hillary 08
Wow, that is a fabulous picture! I love it. A picture tells a thousand words, but I think this one might have scored 18 million.
Like most problems, if you try to ignore them, they grow bigger and bigger, LOL.
Sorry to go off the topic, but there are reports of DNC operatives instructing “activists” seeking to register new voters to ask those who say they are not interested if “ten dollars would help.” Here’s the news report
http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/0808/543546_video.html?ref=newsstory
One Eli Rosenfeld is interviewed. He sees no problem in offering people money to register because “in Australia you get fined if you don’t vote, and that puts everything in perspective.”
This might be Mr. Rosenfeld’s “DC Grassrooters for Barak Obama” page
http://barackobama.meetup.com/164/members/7693144/
That reminds me, when we came out of church Sunday, there was a Barack Obama campaign worker on the church grounds trying to sign people up for Obama. I believe that is illegal, not that Obama cares about the law.
It probably depends on whether the person was on church property. Did you get a picture?
Someone should send that over to the DKOS…lol
You are gifted! Great piece of art and your last paragraph is straight from the heart.
