Unelectable, that's what you are

A song for Senator Obama to be sung to to the tune of Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable"

Unelectable, that's what you are
Unelectable, your past is just too bizarre
That whiff of smug that clings to you
Your mentor has become the big issue
Never before have you been more,
Unelectable, in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, Barry, it's incredible
That you've become so unelectable.
Super delegates want a winner,
Not you.

Unelectable, that's what you are...

Chickens

"Senator Obama?"

"Yes"

"I've got a delivery of chickens for you."

Wow. Reverend Wright. How many groups of people can you insult? All of New England, Texans, Italians, Jews.

The same people who were defending Wright two weeks ago - WRIGHT IS RIGHT! - are now calling him a nut-job. Senator Obama says Wright is not the man he met twenty years ago. Reverend Wright is apparently a Power Ranger and has morphed before Obama's eyes! These are the same people who said Reverend Wright was taken out of context. Since he's repeated everything he said in those You Tube moments the argument has been proven incorrect.

Senator Obama said a month ago: "I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community." We are supposed to accept that he's had a change of heart. Is he now disowning the black community or is he a typical politician reacting to polls?

Senator Obama has said repeatedly that it's not just being ready on day one. It's having the judgement to do the right thing on day one. Senator Clinton voted for the war so she has bad judgement. we are not supposed to remember the climate of the country at the time or that her decision was based on bad intelligence or that she is a Senator from NEW YORK. We are supposed to take the giant leap that Senator Obama sat in church for twenty years, never heard Reverend Wright make any of these "controversial" statements and now, only now, realizes what a mad man Wright is. The same man he disinvited to his coming party because of his "controversial" statement he prayed with in the basement before announcing his candidacy.

What I LOVE is that Huffington Post, Cheetos and all the proud defenders of the Great One are now saying that we need to talk about ISSUES!! Which one? Hope, Change or Bosnia? They also know that Senator Obama is a good and honest man who has been hoodwinked by a man who is milking his fifteen minutes of fame. You see, they know Senator Obama better than Reverend Wright who has known him for twenty years. So when Wright says that Obama is just saying what he needs to say as a politician to get elected we're to believe that Wright is lying because his followers know him better!

The problem is that now his followers are too entrenched in their fantasy to see who he really is. Like Julia Roberts, they want the fairy tale. They cannot accept that maybe their hero is more than a little flawed.

So they excuse everything. He does poorly in debates. No More Debates! Looking down his nose at working class people - well, we're smarter and he's just telling the truth! Screwing Florida and Michigan - they broke the rules! What if it were their states? Running ads in Florida which broke the rules? Hillary was there on election day! (For a victory speech - not to campaign) Keith Olbermann saying that someone should take Hillary into a room and only he emerge? Keith is a God! Ayers. He's just a neighbor. Ayers is more than a neighbor? I'm waiting to see how they spin that. Rezko? He never did anything for him! Plagiarizing speeches? They're friends and share the same views. Randi Rhodes? Free Speech!

They're so invested they can't see that his stock has fallen like Bear Sterns. Keith Olbmerann, Huffington, Rich, Dowd and Matthews are not the Fed and there won't be enough credit available in the general election to bail him out.

Senator Obama needs to get a big coop (how fortunate that Rezko sold him back land for an extra big back yard), because the chickens have come home to roost.

Real leaders inspire FAITH, not hope.

At the core of Obama's current problems is a fundamental lack of true faith. We are witnessing the downside of leadership based on "hope." Odd as it may sound "hope" can never lead to real change. If one hopes for change, and does nothing to affect change one has, by definition, a false hope.

Change takes faith and action. By having faith and taking action the result will be a sense of hope. But hope can never be in the lead and is never at the core of true leadership.

False Hope is Not Change. I repeat what I have said here before: Real leaders inspire FAITH, not hope. FDR inspired faith in people which gave them hope. He did not hope the Depression would go away. He poetically told the country to be fearless. JFK put it squarely in our laps, Ask not what your country can do for you - hope - Ask what you can do for your country - faith. In one transcendent line in one speech he put forth the difference between faith and hope. Even Reagan, who I did not support, lead with an unwavering faith. Reagan did not present himself to the nation as a man who hoped the West would prevail over the Soviets. He presented himself as a man who knew we would. Carter is the counter point. A man who ran on change and hope, was elected, and as President was never able to inspire faith.

I know I am a skipping record but, especially this year, it bears repeating: Hope is a result of faith, not the other way around. Leaders who ditch their past when it is convenient or claim an ignorance so broad it defies rational sensibilities can never inspire faith. In fact, they are not leaders. The center of our culture is not a tribe, or a specific geography, but is our collective idea about of how people should govern themselves. This country, more than most, needs leaders that inspire faith.

Hope is an idol worshipped by the foolish. It is the refuge of the thoughtless and the lost.

Obama will do anything to win.

Obama is a liar. He stayed in that church for 20 years. He listened to Wright for 20 years. Wright said nothing new yesterday. Obama is lying to save his fraudulent ass.

Obama went after Wright and "repudiated" him today because he poll numbers are falling in N.C. End of story. Any tall tale from Obama now about how surprised he is by Wright is BULLSHIT. Barack Obama has no integrity. Zero. Obama cannot be trusted to walk the dog, much less run the country.

CNN said Obama looked "hurt". Good God. What's next- Keith Olberman brings him a blanket while Huffington rubs his shoulders, and Ducky at the Cheetos blog plays patty cakes with him to cheer him up? THIS MAN CANNOT BE PRESIDENT. Obama is poison. By taking deception and deceit to new levels Obama now represents the opposite of hope. He represents a contempt for the process that rivals Nixon.

The Company He Keeps.

I am loath to link to my hometown paper at this point - the LA times being, in essence, an embeded Chicago owned/Pro Obama paper - but they uncovered yet another apparent ethical lapse by Baby Jesus Obama. It seems Obama was working for a company named Killerspin (You really can't make this stuff up.) while a part time state senator in 2000. In fact, Killerspin provided Obama with 90% of his income the same year Killerspin was lucky enough to get a $50,000 grant from the state for a "table tennis event." The grant came at the prompting of Obama, who wrote a lovely letter on state senate stationary on Killerspin's behalf. There is nothing illegal about any of this. But, like the magic money from Rezko to expand his property, it begs all sorts of questions about who BHO really is. Mr. Barry has spent huge amounts of time and money promoting the idea that he is above all the nitty gritty of common politics. He is the Transformer. Or so he says. Yet, at every turn there is another pile of bones in another barely closed closet.

As for BHO running away from more debates - the reason is now clear. Obama not only lied about his relationship with William Ayres - he did it on a massive, almost Soviet, scale. From MyDD: Obama has been breathtakingly misleading about his relationship with William Ayers. In the past Obama described Ayers as an "acquaintance." This is bullshit. It turns out Obama worked for Ayres for 8 years. Not with. For. Any follow up on Ayres during a debate would surely corner Barry with the lies he's told about his relationship to the Weather Underground bomber.
Uppity, who writes regularly at No Quarter once commented on this blog that "time was Obama's enemy."
Indeed with every passing news cycle Obama is revealed as a man of bad judgement propelled by his talent as a speaker, a media hungry to attack a strong female candidate, and a large battalion of overgrown infants and neo-sexists at places like the Huffington Post and that blog the color of Cheetos. The GOP and Fox, after spending months kicking back enjoying the attacks on Clinton, have finally awakened to the inherent danger of allowing Obama to go unvetted. Afterall, one McCain health scare, and the devil you don't know can win.

And we've only just begun to hear about Nadhmi Auchi. Mr. Auchi wired $3.5 million to Tony Rezko about one month before Mrs. Rezko purchased land adjacent to the Obama home from the same seller. That land was later sold to Obama for a song. How do we know this? The Rezko trial. By the by: Nadhmi Auchi was charged along with Saddam Hussein for conspiring to assassinate Iraqi President Abdul-Karim Qasim in 1959.

Ouch.

Imagine what the GOP will do with that nugget in the fall? We are down to 2 degrees of separation between Barack Hussein Obama and Saddam Hussein. It may not be fair to make the leap. But they will. And contrary to the League of Infant Voter's whining (oops I mean the DailyKos's whining) - national elections are not the 3rd grade spelling bee. Fair matters less than perception.

We already know what they will do with Obama's 20 year relationship with Rev. Wright.

How is it that this man has accumulated so many connections to so many unpleasant types in such a short career?
Makes your head spin. Like a fast paced game of table tennis.

You got a problem with that?

I've heard a lot about "What's The Matter with Kansas" this campaign. I'm as guilty as anyone else of wondering about someone driving a Yugo with a Bush bumper sticker. Why vote against your economic best interests?

But what I've learned in the epic battle for the Democratic nomination is that Kansas doesn't have the problem. The Democratic Party does. Having been on the receiving end of smug, self righteous, condescending comments I now know how Kansas feels. Cheese Stakes anyone? The assumption that anyone voting for Senator Clinton shops at the dollar store (which we'll all be doing soon enough), drives a pick up truck, swills beer and shoots guns while reading the bible is bigoted.

When Senator Obama made his comments about "bitter" voters it wasn't elitist. It was obnoxious. You don't reach people by talking down to them. Which is why both Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan (who I still abhor) were so good at what they did. Bill Clinton was always the smartest person in the room but he never made anyone feel stupid. That's a tough thing to pull off.

The whole "Kansas" thing is paternalistic. We know better. Really? Howard Dean? You know better? I knew as soon as you pulled the plug on Florida it was going to be disastrous. Any fifth grader doing a report on the Electoral college could have told you the same thing. Daddy made a big mistake! But we're supposed to trust you with your fifty state strategy.

Interestingly enough, I think voters are voting for their economic best interest when they vote for Senator Clinton. The Recession hand writing is on the wall. Obama offers platitudes of hope with no substance. Senator Clinton is wonkish to the extreme and people pulled the lever for her in states hard hit by the economic bust. I don't know if she can pull us out of the mess we're in, but I do not believe that anyone else could do better.

Sunday Movie Day - Oil. Kunstler. Jiminy Cricket

Some clips here of a Kunstler talk on oil. It is low quality, I admit. But he hits on important points. It now seems clear the world peaked in oil production in May 2005. "Peakists" have long made predictions about what would follow this moment: 1. Real estate would crater. 2. A large run up in oil prices - NOT connected to any one event. 3. Rapid food price rise and then a food crisis starting at the bottom of the world economic scale and moving up...
The clips below are not about these events in particular but he lays a ground work of sorts for what's next.
Enjoy.
Really. Kunstler is a dandy public speaker.
Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:
There is no discussion here about current politics - BUT in this clip Kunslter hits on what he calls the "Jiminy Cricket" syndrome to explain our denial about the oil predicament. I also think it explains much of the Obama campaign - all we have to do is "wish upon a star"...

Part 4:

Is Obama a closet Maoist?

Before the above question is dismissed out of hand read the linked article. It lays the groundwork for some deep journalism that clearly needs to be done. Obama's rise is largely unexplained - or explained away. If any other candidate of either party had ongoing connections with someone like Ayres the media would have vetted that relationship. In this case it has not.

It is highly unlikely that a 30-something second year lawyer would have been plucked from relative obscurity out of a left wing law firm to head up something as visible and important in Chicago as the Annenberg Challenge by Bill Ayers if Ayers had not already known Obama.
Read the whole piece.
Ayers, of course, had long held what the left once knew as "maoist" politics - a view of the world that was opposed to Russian style bureaucratic communism from above, instead supporting sending revolutionary cadre to "swim among the masses like fish in the sea" or attempting to establish guerilla foco as romantically theorized by Regis Debray and carried out with disastrous results by Che Guevara.

During the debate, Obama seems to have told outright lies about his relationship to Ayres.
And:
As it turns out, there are other ex-SDS types around the Obama campaign as well, including Marilyn Katz, a public relations professional, who was head of security for the SDS during the disaster in the streets of Chicago in 1968. She is close (politically) to Carl Davidson, a former president of SDS, who heads up a group called Progressives for Obama. Davidson and Katz, it appears, were key organizers of the anti-war demonstration where Obama made public his opposition to the Iraq war that has been so critical to his successful presidential campaign.

Shut Up!

I have problems with Senator Obama. Rezko, Present votes, lack of experience, unwillingness to answer questions, Reverend Wright, equating his grandmother to Reverend Wright, Ayers, how he won his State Senate seat, his wife. His race is one of the few things I like about him.

But I have more issues with his supporters. If you go over to ObamaPost the commenters call anyone who doesn't support Senator Obama racists. It doesn't matter what you're argument is - you are a racist.

I don't like Obama's health care plan. You're a racist.

I have questions about how Obama bought his condo and his home. You're a racist.

I do not understand how he could sit in that pew for twenty years. You're a racist.

Run an ad featuring Reverend Wright. You're playing the race card.

Obama lost in Pennsylvania because all of Senator Clinton's voters are racist. (And stupid, drunk and gun toting as a bonus!) That's really going to get Clinton supporters to vote for Obama in the General if he wins the nomination.

It's an effective way to end the conversation. Not so fab at uniting which is what he claims to have the ability to do. Just because you shout louder doesn't make you right. A mob is still a mob. To tell your opposition that they're racist and that's the only reason they're not supporting your candidate is to alienate them forever. It's not going to pull them into the fold when you need them back.

What should have been a race showing how far we've come has pushed us WAY back.

Women and blacks are both considered minorities. Blacks because they are and women because of the way we've been treated. Both groups have had to fight to get where we are.

Senator Obama has benefited from the advances; Senator Clinton helped create the advances. I would love to know if he checked the box stating he was black on his application to college. Same with Michelle. Is that racist? No, it's not, thank you very much. But I would be curious if they benefited from their race to get accepted.

Young women don't remember a time when abortion wasn't legal. They don't know about coat hangers. Older women who went out and protested for the right to choose no longer have the need. Who's going to continue the battle? The right to control our bodies has been chipped away. Parental notification, having to have a sonogram, lack of clinics have eroded the options for women.

The Civil Rights Act passed. The Equal Rights Amendment didn't.

I do not believe that Obama supporters are all sexist. It's too bad they don't offer us the same courtesy.

Snobama is melting.

Snobama is melting. When Clinton lost Iowa gleeful posters at the Obamington Post announced that "inevitability" was all she had and now that was gone. Well, after winning every major contest since - including, always including, Florida and Michigan - she has a lot more than inevitability. I commend BHO for his smashing victories in Utah and Kansas and the like. When those states matter to the Democratic nominee he will matter again. Until then he's the guy who won Democratic contests in Republican states. Axelrod glibly stated that working class whites haven't voted for the Democratic nominee in a long time anyway. True enough. Then again, Democrats usually lose national elections, too - so David's point was??? Since 1968 Democrats are 3-8. That doesn't even get you invited to the half time show at the Papajohns.com bowl.

All Obama had was his "transformational aura". That is now gone. Now he's now a guy who makes you queasy because he hangs out with a lose confederation of terrorists, slumlords and loco preachers. As I've said six zillion times before on this blog - Obama has had ample chance to fill in his blank spots for voters. He is unwilling to do so. I happen to believe that he believes he should not have to. Grand speeches that lead to nowhere and back again are all he thinks he should have to do. To hear him is to love him. That should be enough for us ruffians. Let him eat his waffle. He answered "like 6 questions" about Rezko! Golly! He doesn't have to debate in North Carolina because debates are so common. Sometime after Wright exploded Obama's aura transformed into soot.

He wasn't defeated in Pennsylvania. He was destroyed. Philly was the only reason he stayed within 10% of her. Rural Democrats and Democrats in Pittsburgh walked off the Obama bus in droves. Those numbers are worse then they appear. In many counties Clinton won 70-30%. Pennsylvania is not only needed by a Democrat in a general election - it is almost an assumption going in, just this side of D.C.

A Democrat who can't convince Ohio and Pennsylvania in a primary is a Democrat who is going to lose in November. Period.

The DNC and the media are hell bent to shove Obama down our throats. Other than a certain rabies like quality emanating from Howard Dean and Donna Brazile there is no reason Michigan and Florida can't be enfranchised right now. Obama took his own name off the Michigan ballot. No one forced him. Florida had a free and open election. (Odd as that may seem...) Dean just has to quote Dr. Rice and say "mistakes were made", seat the delegations and move on.

The super delegates are being blackmailed with the race card. It really is as simple as that. If our guy is not your choice we will... fill in the blank with real or vague threats. Caving to this blackmail will be the end of the Democratic Party. Obama's campaign is poisonous.

Protect and Deflect

Question: What do Barack Hussein Obama and Osama bin Laden have in common?

Answer: They both have friends who bombed the Pentagon.

That's a little joke from over at No Quarter. It is funny, and has the added bonus of being true and edifying.

It pretty much sums up the fall campaign if Little Lord Obama is the nominee.

Months ago I had a few friends tell me I was being too hard on Obama on this blog. Looking back, I think I was not nearly hard enough. Back then I was only reaming him because he had no business being President. My rants were based purely on his breathtaking lack of experience - all still true - one Obamite telling me point blank that his time as a neighborhood watch captain, or what ever it was - is the same as being governor of Arkansas for 12 years. That was my first inkling that his most ardent fans had taken leave of anything the rest of us might call "reality." Back then I simply said Clinton was the better candidate and Obama's "machine" in the media and blogs was irrational and unfair. It was not until later that I realized they were nuts. The support was not based in reality. It was only after a few conversations immediately descended into me being called a racist that I gave up on rational conversation with Obamites.

The Obamites are sliming us all with a collective infantile belief that this man they love, by the simple virtue of his being present, will transform us. What he had done or planned to do is of no consequence to them. The end of the road for me with man himself was the moment in the New Hampshire debate when he told Clinton she was "likable enough." At that moment I realized that not only were his hard core supporters commit ed to the delusion - but that he was also an active participant and believer in the Obama Messiah narrative. He was not just a talented, somewhat misguided, candidate anymore. With his snotty dismissal of Clinton he became dangerous in my mind. Sadly, all my fears have been proven true.

Obama believes his glowing press. It's worse than that - he seems to think a glowing, compliant media is his birthright. An inquisitive media confronts his heretofore insulated ego. It is why being asked direct questions about Ayres is so upsetting to him. It was not anger we saw from him at first, but surprise. His utter lack of maturity is what is so dangerous.

Protect and Deflect. Other than in the debate, he took no questions in the 2 weeks leading up to the Pennsylvania vote. When he botched the debate he signaled to his supporters, via his middle finger, how they should react. Blame ABC. Blame her. Protect and deflect. Confronted with his association with Wright he gave the illusion of confronting it head on. The result of the speech on race had the effect of negating any intelligent conversation - not inviting it. He still has not explained his relationship to that church with any authority or commitment. Or even in a way that makes sense. He was there, he wasn't there. Wright is a crazy uncle, and he's my mentor. Race is the biggest issue in American life, race doesn't matter.

This is all a game to protect his ego. During his Nuremberg rallies in which thousands scream their adoration he is in his element. When he's asked a simple question while forcing a waffle down in a diner he is a snotty brat. It is all fodder for fun blog posts until one thinks about what it means to have a President with no capacity to deal with unpleasant confrontations. What are we getting with a man who says and seem to believe "to know me is to love me"? Russian Oligarchs and Iranian mullahs must be cackling with glee at the prospect of President Obama. It is doubtful he could hold massive "Got Hope?"rallies in Red Square to get through his term.

At the end of the Obama nightmare - and there will be one - I believe the first order of the day will be the evisceration of the lethal and irresponsible media. Olbermann and Huffington should be put on a rickety skiff beyond the horizon for starters. We need to wash our hands of the mindless and misleading elements in the "entertainment as news" media complex. We must demand fair and objective information or democracy is dead, dead, dead.

Secondly, if there is a Democratic Party worth having any longer, Howard Dean and Donna Brazille should be put in the stocks on the Washington Mall for a week. Dean is an anti-leader and Brazile is his henchwoman. They have destroyed the party of Jefferson, Jackson, FDR and JFK with a level of stupidity usually seen only in battery chickens. Or, worse, they are not stupid at all. They know what they are doing. Either way a week of tomato chucking at those two will, at least, restore some emotional balance.

With or without Obama I am not hopeful about the next four years. Countries get the leaders they deserve. Wayward Supreme Court justices chose Bush over Gore and we went along with it. Now superdelegates are being blackmailed with the race card to shove a megalomaniac front man down our throats. We are so unconscious about how far we have fallen in the Bush years that the next President will have a job that will be quickly seen as incompatible with democracy. Of the 3 candidates remaining only Clinton has the brass balls to stare down the oncoming tsunami and not wreck what is left of the Republic in the process.

Obama the loser. Part 2

In case you forgot why the GOP is aching for Obama in the fall:

Oh and weenie Barry can't handle any more debates.... he cancelled the one in N.C.

hmm wonder why cuz- the Little Prince got his ass kicked in by Hillary during the last one. He even got his cult members to chant "No more debates" - for no other reason than it seemed to make their LORD and GOD pleased. Next they'll be sacrificing a virgin from the village for him. A mob is a mob is a mob....

I know I am correct on this assumption: the Obamites are just this side of violence. I bet we'll see a violent eruption from their side before this is over. They are not committed to a candidate, they are worshipping a false God. They just don't know he's false yet.

Coconut Lady's Hump Day Political Grab Bag. This week: FOOD!

It's time to talk about Rice. Doesn't Condi look divine? I feel I can almost smell her. And her knees are much smoother than I expected. But, alas, this is not the Rice I pulled out of the grab bag today.
While we are all keenly interested in Hillary rising (congrats on the Keystone State blowout of Ugly Barry) and other notable things like Jessica Simpson's "Boobs across America" tour.

We need to get serious:

Food is an issue across the globe now. So is overpopulation and Peak Oil. All of these things are connected. But food, food, food, is concerning me most today. We are in for a shock as prices keep on rising - and I looked into my Crystal Coconut and read the tea leaves. This is the advice I got that I can now pass on:

Beware of shortages in the USA! Stock up on non-perishables!
Gorging on all you can eat buffalo wings at Shakey's is not stocking up!
Eat Less Beef!
Don't mix metaphors!
Take Public transportation once a week!
If Eric Roberts comes to your door dressed as a milk maid and asks you to help him "churn his butter" - don't let him in!
Orange chicken is not a fruit!
Buy a bike now!
Tivo South Park!
Go to the library today and check out a book on gardening.
Vote for Hillary!
Study Peak Oil Theory and get a handle on how oil, food, and housing are interconnected. Create a goddamn back up plan for your entire life.
Think about collapse.

Obama the loser

If this was a race between Hillary and Obama in a general election the race would have been called by now. See pic. Clinton's states are blue, BHO's red. She already has the needed "270 votes". Obama has proven again tonight that he cannot carry a big state outside his home state. This is a disaster for Democrats in the general election. And many of BHO's wins are in caucus states and are inherently undemocratic and misleading. Super Delegates need to think long and hard about choosing a almost certain loser in Obama. At least 13 of the states Obama has won are sure to go GOP in the fall. Only 4 Clinton states will probably go GOP.

The important thing to remember: if Clinton wins she should stay in. There is no "margin" that means she won but really "lost". That is "in the tank for Obama" media bullshit. With the Obamamedia it's always over "if- she doesn't win by this much or that much. I am sure if she wins PA the media say "she won, BUT if Clinton can't win Guam's Primary....
and so on and so forth.
Besides Obama out spent her by millions. It should be close given how much money he's spent in PA.
So Hillary:
A victory is a victory is a victory.

And the unconscious Sexist of the Year award goes to...

And the nominees for unconscious SEXIST OF THE YEAR are...
1. Chris Mathews - The goofball on Hardball who is utterly unaware of his mommy issues, which ooze nightly from every pore in his face.
2. Frank Rich - for his high flying ability to find yet another intellectually bankrupt reason to attack Senator Clinton. The ex - theater critic thinks the Obama show should not have to be bothered with the female competition.
3. Ducky, the king pin of the DailyKos - for transforming his liberal blog into a neo-Rockefeller, neo-Stalinist attack Hillary machine - no small feat.
4. Keith, the frontrunner - One barely needs to repeat his qualifications for Unconscious Sexist of the Year. The snotty, nightly attacks on Clinton, the use of "slut" and "ho" to describe female celebs, the bug eyed "special comment" about Ferarro...
5. The sublimely unconscious Ms. Huffington - for using her divorce cash to re-create herself for the 43rd time - now as the Left's very own Phyllis Schafly. The Huffpost attracts nasty Obama cult members like hungry dogs at a junk yard. They routinely call Senator Clinton a "controlling bitch" and gleefully re-write her history. Her assault on powerful, self confident women is all the more enticing because she is so good at pretending to be one herself - when not lolly gagging on David Geffen's yacht.

Weapons of Mass Resentment

John's post on Ted Kennedy got me thinking about the SUPER delegates who support Obama.

I wonder how much of their support is because they believe in his policies and how much is resentment towards the Clinton's.

Donna Brazile - possible the worst campaign manager ever. Is she angry at the Clinton's because she believes it's President Clinton's fault Al Gore didn't become President? (I won't say he lost the election because he didn't.) Is she jealous of the fact that President Clinton had two terms?

Howard Dean-a loser. Unfair to be booted out of the race because of the scream? True enough, but losing Iowa was really the reason he gave up his bid. Does he resent that Senator Clinton lost Iowa and came back? Or is he like Ms. Brazile and is jealous of the only Democrat who won two terms since FDR?

Ted Kennedy - one thing I'll give him is he is not hypocritical enough to suggest that Senator Clinton should abandon her campaign. And as much respect as I have for President Carter he was beatable. Obviously. But Ted Kennedy couldn't do it.

John "Windsurfing Madness" Kerry - TWENTY KNOTS - HOLD MY CALLS! Let the Swiftboaters go unanswered for way to long and then once it had started to fade brought it right back into the spot light. Could not have run a worse campaign from a phone booth in Yankton, South Dakota with no change. Of course he comes out for Obama, they're cut from the same cloth. He must wonder, how did I lose to that schmuck and how did Clinton get to win?

Gary Hart. Nursing old resentments because the super delegates "gave" the nomination to Mondale. In actuality, he had less pledged delegates than Mondale but he had won the last contests so he argued that he had momentum on his side and should be the nominee. Odd, that he would support Obama.

Tom Dashle - blames President Clinton for making him Minority Leader.

Nancy Pelosi. Please vote this woman out. Right now she is the highest ranking woman in Washington. She doesn't want to give that up.

Huffington and Dowd - also don't want another woman to do better than them

Olbermann - who knows? He's lost his mind and his viewers and neither are coming back.

You can blame President Clinton for a lot. I was angry about the blow job because it was wrong and it diminished the good that he did. But the way all of the people above talk about him now you would think he lost, like them.

I'm supporting Senator Clinton, whether she is on the ballot or not. I am not afraid of a strong woman.

Here's my quote of the day:

Ms. Michaux and Ms. Prigg may be among the "bitter" people Mr. Obama was talking about -- a teacher, Ms. Prigg has no health insurance and says she may lose her house because her salary won't cover the monthly mortgage payments.

But both women said they're sticking with Mrs. Clinton.

"I felt back in the 1990s when the Clintons were in, I lived pretty good, and now my life is going down the tubes, like everyone else's," said Ms. Prigg. "When I met her in Pittsburgh eight years ago, I told her, Hillary, no mat
