Obama’s overseas trip is an attempt to cram for his upcoming “Presidential Prep—Part A, Foreign Affairs” Exam. Fortunately for Obama, the media will prepare, administer, and grade this part of the “Presidential Exam” and will be reporting his grade to the American public. Obama, his campaign, and the media have decided that all Obama needs is a “C” on the “Foreign Affairs” part of the “Presidential Prep” exam to satisfy the public that he’s ready to be Commander-in-Chief..
Due to Obama’s lack of time spent in the classroom and studying for the Presidential Prep course, he hopes he will get lucky and the questions asked by the media on the “Foreign Affairs” part of the final exam will be multiple choice/short answers. Obama, like all students who are faced with a final exam and have not had the time for a number of reasons to attend the classes and study on a regular basis, is not fully prepared for the exam. He does not want the exam to include in-depth questions that will allow the media to distinguish between those who have a total grasp of the subject matter and those who have just enough knowledge to get them by on a short-answer/multiple choice exam!
Obama is pretty sure that his cramming for the exam will result in a good grade; but he is also concerned about the “F” he received on his “project” for the course, Chairman of a Subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.. He knows the project is supposed to be a major portion of his total grade but hopes the fact that the media likes him will prevent them from giving it the attention that it deserves. He received an “F” on his project because he was appointed Chairman of the Subcommittee in January, 2007, and held only ONE meeting (April 8, 2008). The one and only meeting he held for his committee was not substantive. It was held as a photo op to give him media time interviewing General Petraeus and Ryan Crocker at a time when other students in the course would be getting photo ops on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee interviewing Petraeus/Crocker.
Since the media likes Obama, they lack objectivity and are more likely to include multiple choice/short answer questions on the exam and to give him a higher grade than he deserves on any in-depth questions that find there way into the exam. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that Obama’s lack of experience in Foreign Affairs will be revealed on this exam. Tthe fact that he has not put in the time necessary to fully grasp the subject matter will wait for another day to be fully exposed. Let’s all hope that his lack of in-depth foreign affairs knowledge and experience is not revealed to the public on a day when he is President of the most powerful country in the world.

Obama “Campaign-Killer Gaffes” EXCUSED BY GUILT-RIDDEN MEDIA Results in FLAWED Candidate!
The media, guilt ridden over America’s racist past, has not attacked Obama on several campaign gaffes; instead, they have made excuses for him and openly rushed to his rescue!
When he plagiarized major portions of Patrick Duval's “Just Words” speech, the media said he had "borrowed" the words! Yeah, right! He would have received an “F” at Harvard for “borrowing” that much of anyone’s speech! Plagiarism killed Biden's 2004 campaign.
When the Rev. Wright issue came up and the problem that Obama had was really patriotism, the press swooned at his feet when he made his "race" speech that had NOTHING to do with the real problem--patriotism.
When Obama referred to blue-collar, hard working people as clinging to their religion and guns and then called them bigots, his campaign would have ended the day the comment was released IF the media had not come to his aid. The media, instead of focusing on how horrendous Obama's comments were, started calling Hillary an elitist and began retelling Obama's life story to make sure everyone knew that he was not an elitist!
When Obama said in a derogatory manner that Madeline Albright might have something to say about Hillary's so-called foreign affairs experience, the media failed to point out that Obama was being an uninformed idiot since Albright had already had a lot to say about Hillary's EXCELLENT foreign affairs qualifications!
When Obama was rude to a person who pestered him for a picture and finally gave in and said "but I'm not going to smile" the media barely mentioned his lack of self-control. They made excuses for his being exhausted! Had any other politician treated anyone in that manner their names would have been mud on ALL media outlets!
When Hillary had problems with her answer in a debate re driver's license for illegal immigrants (the only real problem she had in ALL of the debates), she experienced tremendous media attacks. But, one week later Obama failed to have an answer for the exact same question! The media barely mentioned that he could not BUT SHOULD HAVE been able to answer that question, especially since it had been such a hot topic during the prior week!
When Obama's answer to a female reporter's question was "Just a minute, Sweetie", the media made all kinds of excuses for him and once again let him off the hook.
One or more of Obama's gaffes listed above would have been a campaign killer in races past. There is no doubt whatsoever that the media gave Obama far too many passes during the Democratic primaries; and, as a result, the Democratic Party now has a PRESUMPTIVE nominee who is a flawed candidate due to his gaffes, mistakes, and lack of experience on the national stage.
The media gave the Republicans McCain and the Democrats Obama. How unfortunate it is that a candidate possessing only two years of experience on the national stage can be propped up by the media and leave Americans with such a poor choice to make for President of the most powerful country in the world!

McCain VP Needs Econ Exp; Obama VP Needs Foreign Affairs Exp. ONE Candidate Has ALL, Hillary Clinton, Forced Out Of Race By Media & DNC! How Smart I
Every day, the media that, along with the DNC, forced Hillary Clinton out of the Presidential race is overwhelmed by the state of our economy and foreign affairs relations. The search for an appropriate VP for both McCain and Obama is a constant topic. No one seems able to come up with a VP for McCain who can fill in for his shortcomings, economic policy comprehension and his age. No one seems able to come up with a VP for Obama who can fill in for his shortcomings, foreign affairs knowledge and experience and his age.
How ironic it is that the ONE person who has BOTH the economic policy comprehension and the foreign affairs knowledge and experience AND has NO PROBLEM with her age was forced out of the race by a media that is guilt ridden over America’s racial past and a Democratic National Committee with the same problem!
At a time when our country desperately needs a President who understands our economy and KNOWS what it takes to turn this country around, we are offered McCain who admits he is weak on the economy or Obama who is still wet behind the ears when it comes to our economy!
At a time when our country desperately needs a Commander in Chief who KNOWS what it takes to reposition our country as a world leader admired and respected by most, we are offered Obama who obviously does not possess the necessary background and experience in foreign affairs that is needed or McCain who is downright scary on the topic!
The ONE person (Hillary Clinton) who is a policy wonk on the economy AND has excellent foreign affairs knowledge and experience is not going to be on the ballot! Way to go Superdelegates; if you had voted based on your background and experience instead of being scared that there would be riots and chaos at the convention, America would have a qualified candidate for President ON THE BALLOT!

Can Obama BUY the Presidency? YES HE CAN!
Public campaign financing is supposed to guard against the Presidency being bought by any one group whether that group is 300,000 strong or 1,000,000 strong! The population of the United States is 300,000,000 and no one group should be able to run roughshod over the population just because they have enough money to do so. The Presidency should not be for sale! Democrats have fought for years for public campaign financing that would prevent any group from being able to buy the Presidency. If a campaign gets its funds from the public, it is the public that is served. If a campaign gets its funds from a group (no matter how large or small the group is), it is the group that is served NOT the public.
Obama’s campaign ran roughshod over the Clinton campaign outspending her sometimes by as much as 5 to 1; and the so-called “free” press did not do its job because many had stars in their eyes due to the money that was being thrown around. Obama was able to “buy” many more Superdelegates than the Clinton campaign. No campaign should be able to “buy” support but the media remained mute on the process mostly because the media was making money on both campaigns.
Now, we are supposedly in the general election mode and Obama and his one million strong are running roughshod over McCain and there appears to be no one who will stand up for the remaining 299 million citizens who should have a voice in this election. The media that should be the watchdog for the 300 million citizens in this country and should have dogged Obama about his opting out of public campaign financing instead are complimenting him for his political acumen!
There is NO EXCUSE for the citizens of this country and its supposed watchdog media allowing the Presidency to be bought whether it is being bought by a group of 300,000or a group of 1,000,000! There are 300 million people in this country and 1 million people should not be able to dictate the rules just because they have enough money to do so. Republicans have managed to dictate the rules in some elections because they had more money than the Democrats. It was wrong when the Republicans bought the elections and it is wrong for the Democrats to buy the elections.
Obama’s opting out of public campaign financing shows he is just another politician capable of buying the Presidency and choosing to do so! Guess the remaining 299 million citizens in this country had better just get used to Obama and his 1 million strong dictating the rules because there is no media outlet that is not subject to the all mighty dollar!

Lap-Dog Media Knowingly Misinterprets Hillary’s Comments Re June Primaries And Continues To Spout Off Chuck Todd’s Voodoo Math!
John Harris (Media Hype: How Small Stories Become Big News, Politico.com, 5/25/08) is correct when he says this kind of "reporting" can have serious effects referring to the media’s misrepresentation of Hillary’s comments about June primaries. In 2008 the lap-dog media has had a severe and dangerous effect on the outcome of the Democratic Primary with its reckless, false, undocumented, and supposed journalistic pieces!
The misrepresentation of Hillary's comments re June primaries by the media, especially MSNBC's Chris Matthews and Olbermann, is typical of the media's treatment of her campaign. The media has attacked her constantly while propping up Obama in every gaffe he has made. It is clear that the media wants an African-American President and they will do anything to slam Hillary until she gets out of the race!
The best example of irresponsible reporting this season has been Chuck Todd's (MSNBC) Voodoo Math that has misled the public for months and continues to mislead the public by saying that there is NO WAY for Hillary to win. Of course, Todd was referring to the actual pledged delegate tally that Hillary would not be able to catch Obama and pass him in the count. But, he and all the analysts and pundits and news print began to say that Hillary CAN NOT win the nomination--JUST DO THE MATH!
The problem with the false statement that Hillary can not win, just do the math, is that Hillary has had and does have as much a chance to win the nomination as Obama according to Democratic Party rules. The race is incredibly close and getting the majority of pledged delegates is a "good argument" but it is a meaningless number as far as the Party rules are concerned. Getting the majority of the popular vote, which Hillary will do, is also a "good argument" and of equal weight with the majority of pledged delegates. BOTH the popular vote majority and the pledged delegates majority are arguments to be made to the Superdelegates who will decide the nomination in this incredibly close race.
The only real "magic number" that a candidate could get that would give them the nomination outright according to Party rules is a majority of ALL delegates (pledged delegates and Superdelegates), a number that NEITHER Obama nor Hillary will have at the end of the primaries AND THAT IS THE TRUE MATH that the public needs to know. The "magic number" will be somewhere between 2026 and 2210. So, when Todd and all the analysts and pundits and print media continuously parrot each other by saying that Hillary can not win, just do the math, they are lying to the public and either intentionally or unintentionally dealing Hillary's campaign a severe blow! Such media stupidity or outright bias is an outrage; the public deserves fair, unbiased, and responsible reporting, especially when their reports directly affect the Presidency of the United States!

Media Gets an “F” in Math! Superdelegates Can Change Their Minds!
The Media should get an “F” in math since most of them have just parroted the ridiculous math of Chuck Todd (MSNBC) re the Democratic Party’s nomination process. The analysts, pundits, and print media are assuming that all Superdelegates who have cast their votes for Obama are permanent. As they SHOULD KNOW, a couple of Superdelegates have already changed their minds; they were originally for Clinton and switched to Obama. When that happened, everyone said ok, since they are allowed to change their votes. Considering Hillary stomped Obama in West Virginia and Kentucky and considering Obama's definite weakness as a candidate against McCain, the Superdelegates could very well cast their votes for Hillary before the nomination is complete.
The Superdelegates CAN CHANGE THEIR MINDS at any time until they actually cast their votes on the convention floor; and they are not supposed to be rubber stamps for the pledged delegates vote. NEITHER Obama nor Hillary will have the "magic number" needed to win the nomination outright which is a majority of ALL the delegates, pledged and Superdelegates, a number that will be somewhere between 2026 and 2210.
The Superdelegates will SELECT the nominee based on their arguments in this incredibly close race. Obama's "majority of the pledged delegates" is a good argument; but, it is a number that is not even mentioned in the rules so it is just an argument, nothing more and nothing less. Hillary's "majority of the popular vote" is a good argument and it is not in the rules either. The Superdelegates are supposed to consider all of the arguments and the electability of each candidate when they cast their final vote. Hopefully, they will take their responsibility seriously and nominate the most electable candidate for the fall election. After all, the goal of the process of SELECTING not ELECTING a nominee is to ELECT a Democratic Party President. The Superdelegates know that it will be of no value to SELECT a nominee IF that nominee can not get elected!

Obama Setting Up "Top Secret" VP Search--Using Bush Tactic Trying To Usurp the Nomination by Acting Like He Already Has It!
Hillary should cut Obama off at the knees on his attempt to usurp the nomination by setting up a Hillary VP search committee. Setting up the VP search committee would accomplish two objectives:
• Expose Obama’s moves as presumptive and absurd and
• Establish once and for all that she is in it to win it!
Today (5/22/08) on Morning Joe, MSNBC, Meeka read a “breaking news” report that she had just received that said that Obama has set up a “top secret” search for his VP! The American public should not be deceived by this Bush tactic to usurp the nomination. Bush usurped the Presidency in 2000 when he started ACTING like he was the President from the beginning, even though the decision was not final, by taking steps to set up HIS CABINET! Now, Obama is acting like he is already the nominee by campaigning in general election states and by setting up this absurd “top secret” search for a VP!
Of course, the media is doing the same thing for Obama as it did for Bush in 2000; they are covering Obama’s moves as though there is nothing ridiculous or absurd about his searching for a VP BEFORE he has the nomination. The media did the same thing in 2000; they covered Bush setting up his cabinet as though he had a perfect right to do so giving the impression to the rest of the country that it was ok for Bush to do this because he was going to be the President!
At least 17 million people think Obama’s VP search is premature and ludicrous and he NEEDS the support of a good percentage of those people IF he wants the Presidency and not just the nomination. Apparently Obama is falling prey to the belief of those around him that he is the messiah and all he has to do is say something to make it so. He DOES NOT HAVE the nomination and acting like he does will not make it so!

Mike Barnacle and Bob Shrum Are “Good ‘Ole Boy” IDIOTS!
Bob Shrum (supposed Democratic Strategist) and Mike Barnacle (supposed unbiased journalist) on Morning Joe, 5/19/08, looked like “good old boy” idiots laughing and making fun of Hillary’s campaign. They are just two Obama tankers trying to laugh off Obama’s weaknesses and clinging to the pie-in-the sky hope that Obama is going to CHANGE the electoral college math! Yeah, right!
IF the Superdelegates ignore the fact that Obama is a flawed candidate and vote for him because of threats that there will be riots and chaos at the convention, Democrats will lose the general election! When that happens, I want to see Shrum and Barnacle on Morning Joe the day after McCain is elected apologizing to the American public for their idiotic actions and statements!

Timmy Boy Russert Just a Chauvinistic “Good ‘Ole Boy”
Timmy Boy Russert on Morning Joe, 5/19/08, could not come up with ONE WOMAN’s name as a possible Vice President for his beloved Obama! Russert’s old, chauvinistic politics need to be put to rest!
Bob Shrum, Democratic Strategist LOSER, is Obama Tanker and Living in an Ivory Tower, Elitist World!
Bob Shrum, a democratic strategist who has done nothing but LOSE, is living in an ivory tower, elitist democrat world; and, he absolutely refuses to acknowledge Obama’s weak underbelly that is going to result in a landslide loss for Democrats in the fall!
In addition, Shrum refuses to face the FACT that a huge percentage of women have been offended in this race and WE WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA! We may actually campaign and vote for McCain! Shrum just poo poos this sentiment as being “in the heat of the battle” mentality. I can guarantee you that a huge percentage of women are serious about not voting for Obama and Shrum and his kind (Obama tankers) better take that fact into consideration when they coronate Obama!
Women may not riot or cause chaos at the convention as Obama supporters have threatened in order to get the votes of the Superdelegates; but, we will make sure that Obama, a two-year Senator, does not become President of the United States! So, take that, Shrummie Boy!

John Kerry Drew Over 50,000 at Oregon Rally! What Did It Say For Him? LOSER!
The media is so easily impressed with crowds; they are frothing at the mouth today (5/20/08) re Obama’s huge crowd in Oregon. The Rolling Stones can draw a huge crowd but I wouldn't want any of them to be President of the United States.
John Kerry drew over 50,000 at a similar rally in Oregon. If that huge number says the same thing for Obama as it said for Kerry, it says LOSER!
And, Obama tankers, do not underestimate the strength of Hillary's support just because we don't come out to be in huge crowds! We will not riot or cause chaos at the convention as has been threatened by Obama supporters; but, WE WILL make sure that this two-year senator loses the general election!

Chuck Todd’s VOODOO MATH Has Underlying FALSE Assumptions!
Chuck Todd’s Voodoo Delegate Math (MSNBC) has been used by the majority of the analysts and pundits to lie to the American public. And, I suspect that majority of the analysts and pundits who repeat Todd’s incorrect delegate math could not solve a mathematical equation if their lives depended upon it!
Chuck Todd’s Voodoo math has the following underlying FALSE assumptions that render is answer FALSE!
• Todd uses an incorrect TOTAL delegate count that a candidate must have in order to win the nomination outright! Todd has been using 2026 as the magic number!
FALSE ASSUMTPION: The MAGIC NUMBER WILL BE 2026!
Anyone with any knowledge of the Democratic Party’s system for SELECTING not ELECTING a nominee has known all along that the magic number would NOT be 2026 because there is NO WAY that the Michigan and Florida delegates would not be seated in some manner! So, the magic number will be somewhere in between 2026 and 2210 but IT WILL NOT BE 2026!
And, contrary to some pundits laughing at this so-called “changing the goal posts,” nothing has been changed. The math for calculating the magic number is clearly stated in the Democratic Party’s nomination process. The problem has been with people like Chuck Todd determining what the magic number was before it could actually be determined and then misleading the public!
• It has been clear for months that NEITHER candidate would win the nomination outright by getting the magic number, whatever it is! The Superdelegates will decide the nominee. Todd has assumed from the beginning that Superdelegates would cast their votes for Obama!
FALSE ASSUMPTION: Superdelegates will cast their votes for Obama!
Todd and the parroting analysts and pundits have repeated Obama talking points by saying that the Superdelegates will not TAKE the nomination away from Obama! The problem with that assumption is that OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE THE NOMINATION so no one can TAKE it away! By repeating this Obama talking point, the media has added to the fear that the Superdelegates have that if they vote for the most electable candidate and it is not Obama, there will be chaos and riots at the convention!
Todd has consistently stated that Clinton could NOT win, never mentioning the fact that NEITHER could Obama! Todd’s Voodoo Delegate Math includes a number of Superdelegates voting for Obama; he’s including a number based on FALSE ASSUMPTIONS not based on facts.
A math problem should be based on FACTS if you want the answer to mean anything! Todd has a habit of including a number in an equation based on HIS ASSUMPTIONS and then FAILS to insure that the analysts and pundits are not only aware of those assumptions but repeat them every time they use his Voodoo Delegate Math!

“Majority of Pledged Delegates” & “Mission Accomplished” Both LIES to the Public!
Obama is pulling the wool over the majority of the media’s eyes; and, through the media, he is attempting to lie to the public again when he says he has the “majority of the pledged delegates” and acts as though it means something!
The “majority of pledged delegates” is a faux number that signifies NOTHING! IT IS NOT THE MAGIC NUMBER of 2026 or 2210 that is required by the Democratic Party’s process in order for a candidate to win the nomination outright. The number 2026 or 2210 (or some number in between according to how MI and FL are seated at the convention) IS THE MAGIC NUMBER; and, it is written into the rules of the Party’s process for SELECTING not ELECTING a nominee. But, the “majority of pledged delegates” IS NOT written into the rules of the process and has NO SIGNIFICANCE WHATSOEVER!
MSNBC and other media can call Obama the “Magic” Man and yuck up this false victory for him; but, Obama and the media are misleading the public when they do! Obama’s “majority of pledged delegates” victory is equal to George Bush’s “Mission Accomplished”, neither of which have any basis in truth; but the media is covering it as though it is a major victory just as they did when George Bush declared his so-called victory! Yeah, that’s the kind of “change” in leadership that I want, one deceitful act after another!
And, for all of those who will write in and say that Hillary has pushed other numbers that are meaningless such as the popular vote I will tell you the difference now. Hillary openly delivers those numbers as her “argument” to the Superdelegates! She does NOT tell the public that those numbers give her a victory or make her the nominee by the rules which is what Obama is telling the public with his “majority of delegates” number! Obama can rightfully use that number as an “argument” to the Superdelegates; but, he is using a number that is NOT in the rules as a way to declare victory to the public and to get the media to cover it as such.
The Superdelegates must decide which candidate is the most electable; and, if they decide that it is in fact Hillary, Obama and his supporters will have the public believing that the nomination has been taken away from him when, in fact, OBAMA NEVER HAD the nomination in the first place! Obama hopes that the FEAR of riots and chaos at the convention will sway the Superdelegtaes to give him a nomination that he does not deserve! He wants to become the Affirmative Action President!

Democratic Party's Nomination Process NOT a Mess; Media Coverage is FRAUDULENT!
The Presidential nomination is not a mess. What is a mess is the media’s total misunderstanding of the Democratic Party’s nominating process. The media (pundits, analysts, anchors) have not taken the time to educate themselves about the process and have misinformed the public OR they do understand the process and are intentionally misleading the public due to their bias for Obama.
The Democratic Party’s process for nominating a candidate INCLUDES Super Delegates; the process has been there for all to see and learn about long before this nominating season began. Super Delegates ARE NOT fat cats in a smoke-filled room nor are they Party bosses or Party elites as they have been portrayed by most of the media. Super Delegates include Senators, Representatives, Governors but they are also Party officials and workers, people who stuff the envelopes and go door to door to get support for the Party. Super Delegates are people who have more experience than the average voter in elections and what it takes to get someone elected. For that reason, the people in the Democratic Party have decided to have the Super Delegates help choose the nominee when no one can overwhelmingly win the nomination through the primaries and caucuses.
If the media were to tell the public the truth about Super Delegates, all of those NEW, excited Democratic voters would know:
• their votes alone do NOT determine the nominee,
• the winner of the primaries and caucuses is not automatically the nominee,
• the SELECTION process (NOT ELECTION process) is NOT a one-person, one-vote process; people can vote in a primary AND a caucus,
• a candidate can only get the nomination through the primaries and caucuses by winning overwhelmingly by getting 2025 delegates; and,
• if no candidate gets the magic number of delegates, the Super Delegates will determine the nominee by taking into account a variety of factors that influence the ability of a candidate to get elected.
Super Delegates were established to help determine the candidate who is the MOST ELECTABLE and can best represent the Democratic Party in the general election. The Democratic Party’s nomination process, NOT election process, includes:
• Primaries held to get input from the people, not to determine the nominee.
• Caucuses held to get input from groups of people, not to determine the nominee.
• Super Delegates who cast their votes when there is no candidate who can overwhelmingly win the nomination thru primaries and caucuses.
Primaries and caucuses are held over a period of several months and the people’s will can change from one period in time to another based on what has happened in a candidate’s campaign. The Super Delegates are supposed to take into consideration the primary and caucus results; the Super Delegates were not designed to be, nor should they be, rubber stamps for those results! They are designed to make sure that the Democratic Party has the most electable candidate for the general election. How stupid would it be for the Super Delegates to vote for a nominee in June or August that they knew could not win the election just because the candidate won some primaries back in January or February! The media and Obama’s campaign need to let the Democratic Party’s nomination process take place so that we can have the strongest candidate, whoever that may be, to face the Republicans in the general election!
Some sates allow a person to vote in a primary and vote in a caucus; so, obviously, the primaries are not a one-person, one-vote election. The primaries and caucuses are used to help select a nominee not elect a nominee. The “overturn the will of the people” idea is a talking point being used by the Obama campaign and reinforced by the uninformed, uneducated media; it is an idea that the Obama campaign has been using successfully to try to force the Super Delegates to vote for him or face the wrath of the “will of the people”.
The Obama campaign started the destruction of the Super Delegates process because they knew the race was close and knew that Super Delegates would be a source of strength for Hillary. The pundits, analysts, and anchors initially admitted that they did not know who Super Delegates were or what their role was; so, the media used the Obama campaign’s definition of the Super Delegates as party bosses or elites who had the potential of overturning the will of the people! Unfortunately, most of the media continue to use this absolutely incorrect definition of Super Delegates and are continuing to inflame the public with this nonsense. Deliberately misrepresenting the role of the Super Delegates to the public and to all of those NEW voters is a dangerous tactic that the media needs to stop before it’s too late. The media needs to correctly define the Super Delegates’ role in the Democratic Party instead of spouting the Obama campaign’s talking points that they can “overturn the will of the people”.
Super Delegates DO NOT “overturn the will of the people” as the Obama campaign and the media are constantly telling the American people. The Obama campaign is trying to force the Super Delegates to vote for Obama. They are telling the public that if the Super Delegates do not vote for him they will be “overturning the will of the people” and the people will riot at the Democratic National Convention! It is one thing for the Obama campaign to misinform the public about Super Delegates; but the media is responsible for giving the public the facts without bias. If the media correctly informs the public about the Super Delegates, the process will work and their will be no mess, no chaos!
The media needs to correctly inform the public and all those NEW voters about the Democratic Party’s process. It’s one thing for Obama’s campaign to threaten the Super Delegates with chaos at the Democratic National Convention; it is another thing for the media to refuse to correctly inform the public about the process. If the media educated themselves about the process and then presented it to the public correctly, there would be no problem and no so-called mess!
The ignorance of the media about the Super Delegates OR the media’s deliberate misrepresentation of the role of the Super Delegates has the potential of causing chaos at the Democratic National Convention. Should that chaos occur, it will not be due to the Democratic Party’s nomination process; the chaos will be due to the media’s ignorance or to their deliberate misrepresentation of the process to the public.

Obama’s Weak Underbelly Exposed With Bush's Hitler Remarks
Bush comments re Hitler yesterday (5/15/08) could very well have been in reference to Jimmy Carter as Mike Barnacle (MSNBC, Morning Joe 5/16/08) first thought. The problem is that the Obama campaign seized upon the topic because they think it is a good one for them; they think talking about it ELEVATES Obama to the Presidential level! How absurd! They are being naïve in not recognizing that this hits right at Obama’s soft underbelly on defense! Obama made a stupid comment in one of the debates when he said he would talk DIRECTLY with the likes of Ahmadinejad WITHOUT PRECONDITIONS and now he’s stuck with that stand. His advisors tried to ameliorate his stand by saying that, of course, there would be in-depth planning prior to Obama’s meeting with anyone but that does not get him out of the hot water!
IF Obama had been smart he would have kept his mouth shut and led the press to believe that Bush was referring to Carter and hoped the press dropped the topic. Instead Obama started whining to the press; and, the media, as usual, came running to his defense declaring that OF COURSE Bush was referring to Obama! Who else could Bush have been talking about? And, NOW, the Republicans are all over the airwaves talking about Obama’s Doctrine of Appeasement! Great! Way to go Obama! How ridiculous for Obama and his campaign to think that one of his major weaknesses could be dealt with by whining about a reference that the President did NOT make directly about him!
Once before Obama’s campaign tried to take a weakness and make it about something else and the press went along, but the rest of the country did not. When Rev. Wright first appeared on the scene, Obama tried to make everyone believe the problem was race relations. He gave a big speech on race relations and the press fell at his feet and swooned. But, the rest of the country knew that the real problem that Obama had with Rev. Wright dealt with his patriotism; and Obama’s race speech did NOTHING to deal with that problem. Obama’s patriotism problem is one he cannot correct due to his sitting in Wright’s pews for 20 years. He should have left Wright’s church at least four or five years BEFORE running for President; there is no way to justify his actions in staying in the church and it makes him a flawed candidate! The press can talk about it being a race problem until they are blue in the face and it’s not going to change the minds of the majority of people who see it for what it really is--a patriotism problem!
Now, Obama’s campaign has seized upon Bush’s comments trying to benefit from an outraged media whining about how unfair the attack was on Obama! They think that the topic ELEVATES Obama to the Presidential level! But, due to Obama’s stupid answer in the debate that he would talk directly with the likes of Ahmadinejad WITHOUT PRECONDITIONS, Obama is in quick sand! Intentionally getting into this particular national security debate with John McCain is EXACTLY what the Republicans wanted. The topic is a perfect example of Obama’s inexperience and his weak underbelly and should be seen as a forewarning to Democrats that the Republican attack machine will be able to play Obama like a finely tuned violin. The Clintons are the only ones who have beaten the Republican attack machine in Presidential politics; and, if we want the Presidency back, we need to nominate Hillary Clinton!

Mike Barnacle Rushes to Obama's Aid Re Bush's Supposed "Absurd" Hitler Comparison!
Mike Barnacle said that Bush’s comments comparing Hitler to Ahmadinejad was an absurd comparison due to the magnitude of Hitler’s offenses. But, the point that was being made was that Hitler should have been stopped BEFORE he could commit such horrific offenses and that just talking to him would have never stopped him!
How horrendous would a nuclear bomb dropped on Israel be? Does Barnacle think that the magnitude of that offense would be comparable to the destruction that Hitler wrought on the world? Does Ahmadinejad have to commit the offense in order for anyone to compare him to Hitler? Don’t be ridiculous Barnacle; there may be a point in time that it is perfectly ok to use Hitler as a reference point when referring to some leaders of terrorist nations.
Of course, Barnacle was really just rushing to the aid of his Messiah, Obama, along with the majority of the doofus talking heads at MSNBC!

John Harwood and David Shuster NOT JOURNALISTS; Just Political Hatchet Men for Obama
MSNBC, PLEASE stop having John Harwood on EVERY hour of the day just because he’s got a book to sell. I’m sick of his puking up Obama talking points on every hour of MSNBC! Harwood has drunk so much Obama Kool-Aid that he actually is vomiting it up all over the set whenever he appears! I can guarantee you that if he’s on the set and anything positive is said re Hillary, Harwood will break into the discussion and vomit up an Obama defense or an attack on Hillary! I cannot believe that someone actually referred to Harwood as a reporter the other day; he’s given up any claim to being a professional reporter!
Harwood, along with David Shuster, may have been professional reporters at some time in the past; but, now they are both nothing more than political hatchet men for Obama. Harwood and Shuster are two peas in a pod and neither can claim to be professional journalists anymore!

Chris Matthews Pompous Ass Re Obama's Appeasement Doctrine!
Chris Matthews is a pompous ass! I stopped watching Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann due to their rabid support of Obama and nasty attacks on Hillary Clinton. I now watch Morning Joe due to Joe Scarborough’s balanced approach to the Presidential race; but, twice this week I have had to listen to Matthews absurd and ridiculous support for an Affirmative Action President! I’m sick of his crazy rants and think someone needs to make sure he gets a long rest from the air waves. Chris Matthews is obviously out of control!
I did watch the clip of Matthews attacking his guest erroneously (5/15/08). The guest he attacked was not the one who brought up Chamberlain; but, Matthews, seizing what he thought was a topic he could use to skewer a guest who disagreed with him, struck out ferociously and stupidly. His guest was supporting Bush’s point that the President of the United States should not sit down and talk directly with the likes of Ahmadinejad. The guest that Matthews attacked was not the one who mentioned Chamberlain; but Matthews, with his supposed expertise in history, started hammering his guest to say exactly what Chamberlain did in 1938 or 1939.
Matthews' point was absurd and did not pertain to the point his guest was making. And, of course, when the guest could not specifically say what Chamberlain had done, Matthews swelled up with disgusting satisfaction and cut his guest off and then made a disparaging statement at a time his guest could not reply! Matthews is basically a coward who will not bring on guests who truly disagree with him; and when he accidentally gets a guest who will go tit for tat with him, he makes a fool of himself by trying to nag the person on a minute point about history that has nothing to do with the actual topic!
Matthews also made the ludicrous point that “appeasement” is giving in to something “under the gun” and that talking with Ahmadinejad would not be appeasement! Matthews said “where’s the gun”? Apparently Matthews does not think of the nuclear bomb as being the biggest gun on earth today; what an idiot!

The guest he attacked was not the one who brought up Chamberlain; but, Matthews, seizing what he thought was a topic he could use to skewer a guest who disagreed with him, struck out ferociously and stupidly. His guest was supporting Bush’s point that the President of the United States should not sit down and talk directly with the likes of Ahmadinejad. The guest that Matthews attacked was not the one who mentioned Chamberlain; but Matthews, with his supposed expertise in history, started hammering his guest to say exactly what Chamberlain did in 1938 or 1939.
Matthews' point was absurd and did not pertain to the point his guest was making. And, of course, when the guest could not specifically say what Chamberlain had done, Matthews swelled up with disgusting satisfaction and cut his guest off and then made a disparaging statement at a time his guest could not reply! Matthews is basically a coward who will not bring on guests who truly disagree with him; and when he accidentally gets a guest who will go tit for tat with him, he makes a fool of himself by trying to nag the person on a minute point about history that has nothing to do with the actual topic!
Matthews also made the ludicrous point that “appeasement” is giving in to something “under the gun” and that talking with Ahmadinejad would not be appeasement! Matthews said “where’s the gun”? Apparently Matthews does not think of the nuclear bomb as being the biggest gun on earth today; what an idiot!

Obama's TRUE Iraq War Record
In 2004, Sen. Obama said he didn’t know how he would have voted on the Iraq War resolution.
‘When asked about Senators Kerry and Edwards' votes on the Iraq war, Obama said, "I'm not privy to Senate intelligence reports,’ Mr. Obama said. ‘What would I have done? I don't know. What I know is that from my vantage point the case was not made.’
In 2004, Sen. Obama also said there was little difference between his position and George Bush’s position on Iraq:
In a meeting with Chicago Tribune reporters at the Democratic National Convention, Obama said, “On Iraq, on paper, there's not as much difference, I think, between the Bush administration and a Kerry administration as there would have been a year ago. […] There's not much of a difference between my position and George Bush's position at this stage.” [Chicago Tribune, 07/27/04]
While running for Senate, Sen. Obama acknowledged that he took his anti-war speech off his campaign website, calling it "dated":
Specifically, State Senator Obama maintains that an October 2002 anti-war speech was removed from his campaign web site because “the speech was dated once the formal phase of the war was over, and my staff's desire to continually provide fresh news clips."
Finally, Sen. Obama and Hillary have almost identical voting records on Iraq:
In fact, Obama's Senate voting record on Iraq is nearly identical to Clinton's.

Over the two years Obama has been in the Senate, the only Iraq-related vote on which they differed was the confirmation earlier this year of General George Casey to be Chief of Staff of the Army, which Obama voted for and Clinton voted against. [ABC News, 5/17/07]
Claire McCaskill (D) Missouri Starting FALSE Rumor Re Super Delegates IN TANK for Obama!
Claire McCaskill, Senator from Missouri and Obama surrogate, is starting a rumor that Super Delegates are in the tank for Obama. She hopes the rumor will influence the Super Delegates! She's getting frantic thinking that Hillary may win! McCaskill's daughter called her a slut for not openly supporting Obama in the beginning and now she realizes she may have made a mistake by giving in to her daughter's tantrum.
If Obama is not the nominee and his supporters throw a tantrum at the Democratic National Convention, so be it! As painful as it can sometimes be for parents, it is never advisable to give in to their child because the child threatens to throw a tantrum. The same can be said for the Democratic Party; threats of chaos at the convention should not be the determining factor as to who should be the nominee!
Apparently a lot of parents are supporting Obama because their children threw tantrums. Claire McCaskill actually said that her daughter threw a tantrum and called her a slut for not openly supporting Obama in order to get her to support Obama. McCaskill gave in to her daughter’s demands! I find it amazing that a woman who won a tough fight to become the Senator from Missouri would support Obama because her daughter liked him and threw a tantrum. Other prominent democrats have supported Obama because their kids like him.
What in the world would cause people who have raised kids to suddenly think that their children could make a more wise decision as to who should be President of the United States! Giving in to kids when they throw tantrums is easy; standing strong and making the wise decisions based on one’s knowledge and experience can be difficult. Parents need to support the person they think will be the best President based upon their knowledge and experience, not based upon who their kids like the best!
The Democratic Party Super Delegates need to choose the nominee who can win in the fall election based upon their knowledge and experience not based upon Obama supporters' threats of chaos at the convention!

Obama Repudiates Wright Then Reverts to Glib Attitude and Gestures When Asked About Wright!
I was positively affected by Obama’s speech repudiating Rev. Wright yesterday, (4/29/08); but, last night on the campaign trail Obama was back to using cocky gestures and smart aleck, glib comments to refer to the Rev. Wright problem blaming the media and his so-called attackers for his problems. Obama was too late in recognizing that his problem with Wright was a patriotism problem not a racism problem and now he is trying once again to convince the public that Wright is a problem MADE UP by the media!
Obama has grown accustomed to those around him assuming that he’s God’s gift to mankind and assuming he possesses a very high intelligence and anything he says is beyond question. As a result, he is aghast when anyone dares to question anything he says or does. If anyone asks a question that he thinks is unworthy of him he goes on the attack instead of answering the question. All too frequently it appears that he is actually unable to answer the questions and attempts to cover up his lack of knowledge with glib, smart aleck words and gestures. Of course, when Obama’s audience roars with approval of his stupid gestures and comments (as they did when Wright made his stupid comments), Obama thinks all of America is in the palm of his hand. If Obama were to repeat those stupid gestures and glib comments in a crowd that is not hand picked to support his every word, he would quickly find out that people are truly disgusted and sickened by his attitude just as most were disgusted and sickened by Wright’s attitude!

Super Delegates Can’t TAKE Nomination from Obama Because Obama DOES NOT HAVE the Nomination to Take Be Taken Away!!!
Super Delegates can not overturn the will of the people and TAKE the nomination away from Obama because Obama DOES NOT HAVE the nomination so the Super Delegates can not take it away from him! The last time I checked it was impossible to take something away from a person that THEY DID NOT HAVE!
The media continues to lie to the Obama supporters by leading them to believe that Obama already has the nomination. The Democratic Party is in the process of SELECTING a nominee, NOT ELECTING a nominee. The process includes primaries, caucuses, and super delegates. Obama WILL NOT win the nomination by getting the 2025 delegates that a candidate needs in order to win the nomination without the votes of the Super Delegates; HE DOES NOT HAVE THE NOMINATION!
Unfortunately, the Obama supporters have been led to believe that the only thing a candidate needs to get the nomination is a lead in the number of delegates based on THEIR votes! The nominee SELECTION is NOT based on a one-person, one-vote process. If the Obama supporters were thinking, they would realize that the nominee SELECTION is not based on a one-person, one-vote process; they know that some states allow people to vote in the primary AND to vote in a caucus. If a candidate cannot get the 2025 delegates needed to win the nomination outright, then the Super Delegates are supposed to use their independent judgment to choose the MOST ELECTABLE candidate. There would be absolutely no need to have Super Delegates vote if all they had to do was to rubber stamp the delegate vote! The delegate vote total includes votes cast several months ago and a candidate’s ability to win the fall election can change drastically in a few months.
Obama and his surrogates and supporters should stop threatening the Super Delegates based on the false claim that Obama already has the nomination. The Super Delegates need to cast their votes based on who will be the best candidate to run against McCain in the fall. All the threats to destroy the Democratic Party by creating chaos and violence at the Democratic National Convention should stop! Obama does not have a right to the nomination based on any factual data any more than Hillary does. Neither candidate has won the nomination by getting the 2025 delegates needed to win the nomination outright.
The primary process should continue to its end; then the Super Delegates, according to the rules of the Democratic Party’s nominee SELECTION process, can take ALL of the info into consideration and choose the nominee that can win in the general election. Obama’s supporters should be educated about the process and should realize that he has NOT won the nomination so it can not be taken away from him!

Obama's "Bozo Moments" Re Annie Oakley and Bitter Comments
Throughout his campaign Obama has used arrogant, smart aleck comments to attack Hillary; the media usually just chuckles at his comments and thinks of them as clever. Hopefully, this time the media will not be able to bury his stupid comments re small town people being bitter and clinging to their guns, religion and anti-immigrant beliefs.
In response to Hillary's critique of his words, Obama couldn't keep his stupidity from boiling over and continued to put his foot in his mouth as most arrogant, smart aleck people do eventually by calling Hillary "Annie Oakley" with a derisive tone. Guess the oh-so-wonderful, God-like creature Obama temporarily forgot that Annie Oakley was a real person admired by many! In an attempt to cover up his insult to small-town America, he insulted Annie Oakley!
When Obama uses his "own words" that are not scripted for him, he frequently reveals a severe lack of depth in his knowledge of history and current affairs.
Earlier in the campaign, Obama was asked about his lack of foreign affairs experience comparied with Hillary's. Obama put down Hillary's foreign affairs experience and said Hillary had not been Secretary of State and that Madelene Albright might have something to say about Hillary's CLAIMS of foreign affairs expertise. The facts were that Madelene Albright not only had something to say but had already said it many times; she has been an outspoken supporter of Hillary Clinton and her foreign affairs expertise! The media gave Obama a pass on his "Bozo Moment". ("Bozo Moment" is a term once used by A.B. Stoddard, Editor of The Hill, to describe Obama's serious and illogical mistakes.) I could not believe that Obama was not aware that Madelene Albright was a fervent supporter of Hillary's; how could he not know! Since that time, I have watched Obama have several "Bozo Moments" and now have sincere doubts about his lack of depth in knowledge about most topics.
Obama gives great speeches as long as he sticks to the written speech. When Obama drifts away from the written speech or when he is in a debate or answering questions in an interview, his words frequently are not eloquent but inaccurate or arrogant. Obama, like most people who plagiarize, has difficulty expressing himself when he has to use his own words!

MSNBC Blows It Again Re PLAGIARISM!
Mark Murray (MSNBC First Read, Deputy Political Director) in his comments today re “Ronald Reagan’s sudden participation in Pennsylvania” compared the video of Hillary Clinton repeating a joke that is in the common lore to Obama’s plagiarizing Deval Patrick’s speech and dismissed both examples as “silly”! As a result of many of MSNBC’s broadcasts, millions of young people in this country are being misinformed as to what constitutes plagiarism!
The media should stop confusing students everywhere and causing teachers all kinds of problems; they need to correctly inform the public what constitutes plagiarism. If Deval Patrick had delivered his “just words” speech to a speech class at Harvard and if, later, Obama had delivered his “just words” speech to the speech class, the professor would have given Obama an “F” and told him that he had plagiarized Patrick’s speech. If Obama had told the teacher that Patrick had said he could “borrow” that portion of his speech, do you think the professor would have changed Obama’s grade! No way!
Murray’s comparison of Obama’s “just words” speech and Hillary Clinton’s repeating an old joke is ludicrous. Hillary Clinton’s telling a joke that is well known and has no author is not plagiarism!
Obama committed plagiarism and admitted that he committed plagiarism when he said that he should have credited Deval Patrick with his “just words” speech! Obama repeated a major rift from Deval Patrick's speech with the same intonations and inflections and did not tell the audience or the media that the “just words” portion of his speech came from Patrick!
The major point that the media continues to gloss over is not that Obama plagiarized Patrick’s speech but that Obama led the audience and the media to believe that the speech was his own! It matters none whatsoever that Obama and Patrick are friends or that they share ideas or that Patrick told Obama he could use his words. It does not matter that politicians sometimes use the same common phrases. I can say the words “I Have a Dream” in a speech without mentioning Martin Luther King’s name. I don’t have to mention King’s name because everyone knows or should know that those words are not mine! What matters is that the audience and the media believed Obama’s words were his own!
The media did not say that Obama was being “silly” when he said that he should have credited Patrick; instead, the media started using Obama’s talking points and began calling those who said Obama had committed plagiarism “silly”! The media used flowery words and phrases like “shared ideas and phrases” and “borrowed” to describe what Obama had done. Either the media does not know what constitutes plagiarism OR they are intentionally misinforming and confusing millions of young people just because they do not want to present negative information about Obama.
I’ll bet Joe Biden wishes he could have called the media silly and gotten away with it! Wonder why the media attacked Joe Biden so viciously for plagiarism but kind of snickers at Obama when he commits plagiarism and says, yeah, we're all being silly!
When Tim Goeglein, top aide to President Bush, resigned in February, 2008, because he had committed plagiarism, I noticed that MSNBC barely mentioned it. Apparently, MSNBC wants to avoid the topic entirely for fear that the public will find out what truly constitutes plagiarism, that it is not silly, and that there can be major, negative consequences for those who plagiarize!
Those who commit plagiarism and refer to anyone who calls them on it as silly generally have done it many times and do not see it as cheating! And, generally, those who resort to plagiarism are shallow and lack the ability to say things in their own words. Obama has speechwriters for his speeches but can't use them in debates. Have you noticed a huge difference in his ability to use words in speeches and his ability to use words in debates!
MSNBC should copy and distribute the following information regarding plagiarism from
Plagiarism.org, 4/2/08, to all news anchors, pundits, and analysts; and, they should use it to correctly inform the millions of young people who are now thoroughly confused as to what constitutes plagiarism!

Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work, or borrowing someone
else's original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the
seriousness of the offense:According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to "plagiarize" means
1. to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own
2. to use (another's production) without crediting the source
3. to commit literary theft
4. to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.

Blacks Will Suffer Blame for Loss of General Election
There is NO EXCUSE for 90% of blacks voting for Obama except that they are voting for him BECAUSE HE IS BLACK not because he is the most qualified candidate! There is no other block of voters casting their votes 90% for any one candidate. It’s clear and there is no doubt that blacks are voting for Obama because he’s black.
Blacks (90%) have bought the argument that the Clintons’ played the race card in South Carolina! The Clintons of all people! The Clintons have been staunch supporters of civil rights! How could the blacks (90%) actually believe all of the misrepresentations of the media and Obama surrogates about the Clintons playing the race card! How absurd!
Blacks need to stop and think about what they are doing. Any time a woman gets a promotion in a company just because she’s a woman and not because she’s the most qualified to get the promotion, we all know what happens. The woman falls flat on her face and women in general are blamed for her failure. People say, “See what happened; we put a woman in that position and she couldn’t handle it! It takes a man to do that job!” When a woman is promoted just because she’s a woman, ALL women are hurt! The same holds true for blacks and they know it; they’ve seen it happen.
I am amazed that blacks (90%) are willing to vote for a man who’s only had two years in the Senate for President of the United States! Surely, there’s a little nagging voice in their minds somewhere saying “I’m not sure he’s qualified”! They need to listen to that voice because there are a lot of Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents voting in the Democratic Primaries for Obama. They are crossover voters; they vote for the candidate that they think the Republicans can beat! They WILL NOT vote for Obama in the general election. If Obama manages to win the Democratic Party’s nomination due to all of those crossover voters and the 90% black vote, McCain will win the general election. And, when Obama loses the general election by a landslide, guess which voting block in the Democratic Party will get the blame for the loss!

McCain "Straight Talk Express" Actually Media's "McCain Free Ads Express"
The Time Press has called McCain on his many lies and reversals. The media should stop giving McCain free ads! Every time they refer to his campaign and use the phrase “straight talk express” they are giving him free advertising! The media knows this, of course, and that’s why they keep doing it.
McCain is and has always been the darling of the press! They need to get the stars out of their eyes and try to give unbiased coverage to the Presidential election. The American people deserve no less than unbiased coverage of those running for the highest office in the land.
The media has failed the American public miserably in its coverage of politics during the last couple of decades. We are all now paying the price of one of the media’s failures to give unbiased political coverage and that was their failure to tell the public the truth about Iraq BEFORE Bush launched his war!
Media needs to STOP giving McCain free advertising by referring to the “Straight Talk Express” every time they refer to McCain. By referring to the “Straight Talk Express” they are misleading the public into thinking that McCain always tells the truth and can be trusted.
McCain DOES NOT always tell the truth and he CANNOT be trusted. McCain will do whatever he needs to do to get elected! I lost faith in McCain when he stood on a stage with Bush after the South Carolina debacle, put his arm around Bush, and said Bush would make a great President! Yeah, RIGHT!

Republicans Want Obama to Win Nomination!
Republicans are biding their time behind the curtains just waiting, wishing, and hoping that they get to dance with Obama. If they do, it will be Obama’s last political dance; and, we Democrats will have lost a shining star who was just beginning to shine but who could not help rushing onto the political stage a little too early!
The Republicans will have no problem running against Obama and they all know it! The Clintons have beaten the Republicans over and over again. The Republicans KNOW in their hearts that they don’t won’t to run against Hillary. Be careful for what you wish, YOU MAY GET IT!
Republicans want the Democrats to THINK they want to run against Hillary; they are trying to influence Democrats to vote for Obama! I’ve watched Republicans run nasty, below-the-belt campaigns for over 35 years (McGovern, Dukakis, Gore, Kerry); and, I guarantee you that, if for some reason the Democrats lose their logical minds and choose Obama as their nominee, the Republicans will chew him up and spit him out! Obama is not ready for Prime Time; the Republicans know it.
The Republicans will have no problem running against Obama and they all know it! The Clintons have beaten the Republicans over and over again. The Republicans KNOW in their hearts that they don’t won’t to run against Hillary. Be careful for what you wish, YOU MAY GET IT!
Republicans want the Democrats to THINK they want to run against Hillary; they are trying to influence Democrats to vote for Obama! I’ve watched Republicans run nasty, below-the-belt campaigns for over 35 years (McGovern, Dukakis, Gore, Kerry); and, I guarantee you that, if for some reason the Democrats lose their logical minds and choose Obama as their nominee, the Republicans will chew him up and spit him out!

Qualified Woman (Hillary) vs. Unqualified Man (Obama)!!!
If A WOMAN tried to run for President with Obama’s background, she would have been ridiculed and ripped to shreds by the media! A white male would have been laughed off the stage in his bid for President if the only experience he had was two years in the Senate! Obama is getting a pass on his experience and qualifications to be President of the most powerful country in the world!
The media is doing the people of this country a major disservice by slobbering all over Obama just because he delivers an excellent speech! It’s not fair to the country and it’s certainly not fair to African Americans in the long run! The media compares Obama to JFK and Robert Kennedy but fails to compare the drastic differences in each of their qualifications to run for the highest office in the land!
Women have waited a long time to have a QUALIFIED woman to run for the Presidency; and, now that we have one, the media is supporting an unqualified male for the position! I don’t know why I should be surprised that the mostly white, male media would support an unqualified, African-American MALE over a supremely qualified female!

Hillary Supporters NOT Maxed Out!
The media (and Obama’s campaign) keep saying that Obama has all these small donations coming from millions of people and that Hillary’s supporters are all maxed out! Well, I know of one woman who supports Hillary who has not maxed out, and I bet there are millions of other women (and men) like me. So, today, I went online at http://hillaryclinton.com and made a small contribution to Hillary’s campaign. I’m hoping that millions of more women (and men) like me will do the same.
If you go to the web site you will see that a person can contribute as low as $10. I’m hoping that millions of women (and men) like me will decide to put their money where their hearts are and donate to Hillary’s campaign as soon as possible. Obama thinks Hillary’s supporters have all maxed out. Well, I’ve got news for him! I think there are millions of women (and men) like me who support Hillary and want a woman in the White House who have not yet contributed to her campaign.
Let’s show Obama and the media that they don’t know who they are dealing with when they say that Hillary’s supporters have all maxed out. Let’s show them that they have awakened a giant, that there are millions of women (and men) out here who have yet to donate to Hillary. Let’s show them that women (and men) who support Hillary may not have much; but we can match the millions of small donations being made to the Obama campaign!
You may not have $25 or $50 to contribute to Hillary’s campaign but maybe you have $10 to contribute to help guarantee that the glass ceiling of the Presidency of the United States for women is finally broken! I’m hoping you will do as I have done and go to http://hillaryclinton.com and make a donation to Hillary’s campaign that will make a statement to everyone that Hillary’s support is deep and that we will do whatever we can to help her get elected!
If you are unable to make a small donation, you can still help to get Hillary elected by sending a copy of this post to every woman (and man) you know who is supporting Hillary’s campaign for the Presidency. If we truly want that glass ceiling of the Presidency of the United States for women to be broken, we need to make our voices heard now before it’s too late. The male-dominated media is giving Obama tons of free press; let’s give Hillary the funds she needs to fight back!

Political Expertise of Vendehei and Allen a Myth!
This post is in response to “Story behind the story: The Clinton Myth” on Politico.com 3/21/08 by Jim Vendehei and Mike Allen.
The idea that Vendehei and Allen have any political expertise is the real myth!
Jim Vandehei needs to go back under the rock he crawled out from under in Cincinnati where he was a low-life, beat reporter to whom no one listened! Now, just a couple of years later with Politico.com he has come to believe that he has the all-powerful wand that decides who should run for President of our country!
I don’t know what Vandehei’s been drinking while at Politico.com that suddenly makes him think that he’s so knowledgeable that he has the audacity to tell Hillary Clinton to get out of the race! Guess he feels he has a lot in common with Obama because neither of them has enough experience to qualify them for their jobs!
Vendehei, you are embarrassing yourself and your family; where do you get off thinking that you, of all people, are in a position to tell Hillary Clinton what to do! You’ve never been elected to public office and I doubt that you could be. You’ve never run a political campaign; hell, you’re not even a political strategist!
Wake up, Vendehei, you are still that stupid, beat reporter who has a job with a big title at a .com that some people respect. Notice that I said “some people respect”! I WAS one of those people until Politico.com got too big for its britches and allowed idiots like you and Allen to spout off ridiculous statements that don’t belong on a .com that is supposed to be bipartisan that is now obviously in the tank for Obama!
Mike Allen is obviously infatuated with Obama; I remember the first time I heard him talk about Obama on MSNBC early in the race. Allen had attended one of Obama’s big rallies that week. He was actually shaking and panting; his eyes were wild with jubilation and he just couldn’t say enough about how impressed he was with Obama!
Allen toned his stupid self down somewhat after New Hampshire; but, now he’s out in full bloom, flaming with support for Obama once again. Allen is a coward who slivered away and licked his wounds when Obama was in trouble; he was quiet and timid when he appeared on MSNBC and appeared to be severely depressed.
Of course, now that Allen thinks that Obama’s “race” speech has trumpeted up Obama’s support in the media, he has come out flaming in love with Obama again and telling Obama’s opponent to get out of the race! I saw him on Chris Matthews the other day and his eyes were wild again and he was once again shaking and panting all over for Obama! (Allen, you really need to get hold of yourself; try to practice a little professionalism if you have any! You should consider having yourself evaluated for bipolar disorder!)

The Clinton Myth According to Vendehei and Allen!
This post is in response to “Story behind the story: The Clinton Myth” on Politico.com 3/21/08 by Jim Vendehei and Mike Allen.
I would like to know what it is at Politico.com that gives some of those who work there the idea that they, and only they, know what is best for our country! Two political junkies without enough actual political experience to fill a thimble, Jim Vendehei and Mike Allen, are stupid enough to tell a major candidate in the race for President to get out! What is worse is that Politico.com has become so puffed up on its own importance that they actually put these two idiots’ instructions to the candidate on their web site! And, then, to top it off, the lap-dog media just went wild for their chow and ate it all up before they could even smell the crap they were being fed!
Tell a major candidate to get out of the race! Really! What kind of an ego does it take to tell a candidate to get out of the race for President! Since when do reporters and journalists SELECT the nominees for the political parties? I don’t know for sure; but, I suspect that Allen is just like his compatriot, Vendehei, in that he’s never been elected to public office, run a campaign, or been a political strategist. So, PLEASE, SOMEBODY TELL ME what kind of experience do Allen or Vendehei have that would prepare either one of them to SELECT the President for the rest of us? I strongly suspect that Allen’s experience is just like Vendehei’s and Obama’s—sorely lacking!
Vendehei and Allen, I think you know what you can do with that worthless piece of crap you both wrote and used to puff up your egos! By all means, please, print a copy of your stupid little article and use it as toilet paper or frame it to hang on your walls to impress all of your little friends and relatives. No one cares what two insignificant, ego-driven writers in the tank for Obama have to say!

Media Playing Race Card NOT Clintons!
On the Tucker Carlson show (February 19, 2008) Tucker continuously repeated a lie saying the Clintons inserted race into the campaign! For Tucker to continue to repeat a statement he KNOWS IS A LIE is irresponsible journalism! The MEDIA injected race into this campaign when the returns came in from New Hampshire and the media knows it! Tucker Carlson was there for the discussions!
Many people, including Lanny Davis on the Tucker Carlson show, have very clearly stated that the comment Bill Clinton made in South Carolina re Jessie Jackson having won in South Carolina was taken out of context. If the media had been interested in accuracy, they would have shown the entire conversation which related to the historical election results in South Carolina! But, THE MEDIA just wants sound bites and ratings so they took what Bill Clinton said out of context and accused him of playing the race card!
The Obama supporters were not playing the race card until the Media started using it! But, after the Media played the race card in New Hampshire, played up and mischaracterized Hillary’s truthful statement re President Johnson and Martin Luther King, and then took Bill Clinton’s statement out of context, the Obama campaign jumped on the bandwagon. I’m sure they thought it would be good for Obama; but, what they were not thinking about and still are not thinking about is the price they will pay for using the race card to try to get the nomination.
Thanks to the media we now have 90% of blacks voting for a black candidate because he is black, not because he is the best person for the job! And, IF their candidate does not win the nomination, what happens then? I think we all know what happens if it’s a close race but Hillary actually wins the nomination according the Democratic Party’s process, which was in place before either candidate put their hats in the race! The Obama supporters will not accept Hillary’s win and pure hell will break loose and the Democratic Party will lose the general election! I, for one, will place the blame for that hell at the feet of the media who played the race card in this election campaign to support Obama and to pump up their ratings!

Super Delegates NOT Unfair!
The Super Delegates are a part of the process the Democratic Party uses to SELECT its candidate to represent it in the general election. The American public ELECTS a president; but Parties SELECT the person who best represents their values and principles to be a candidate in the ELECTION!
The media should stop referring to the Super Delegates as Undemocratic and misleading the public by indicating that they are a bunch of power brokers in a smoke-filled room who can OVERTURN THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE! The super delegates are a part of the process the Democratic Party uses to SELECT its candidate to represent it in the general election! You may not like the process but it has been out there for everyone and all candidates to see. There’s nothing immoral or misleading about the Super Delegates; there is a reason for them. The super delegates are there to help guarantee that the party is represented by the candidate who is most likely to win the general election.
I have not heard the media refer to the Republican Party’s process of winner-take-all states as undemocratic! Their process does not give the nomination to the candidate who gets the most in the popular vote! The Democratic Party’s process is much more democratic and inclusive than the Republican Party’s process; and, yet, the media attacks the Democratic Party’s process as undemocratic when it appears that Obama may be at a disadvantage in the process!
Obama’s campaign has acted like they were surprised that Super Delegates will be involved in the SELECTION of the Democratic Party’s nominee! When Obama decided to run for the nomination of the Democratic Party, he should have known there were Super Delegates and that in order to win the nomination he had to win their votes in addition to the pledged delegates! If Obama didn’t know he had to win the Super Delegates votes, he is too naïve to represent the Democratic Party and it is further proof that he is not ready for prime time!
Obama’s statement that it would not be fair if he wins more states and more delegates and then loses the nomination by way of the Super Delegates is ludicrous and whiney! Obama and his surrogates are inciting his supporters to revolt against the Democratic Party if he is not its nominee whether he is the actual winner or not! If he does not or cannot win the votes of the super delegates, he cannot win the general election and does not deserve to be the nominee of the Democratic Party!
Obama needs to remember that he is running for the nomination of the Democratic Party, not the nominee of the Independent Party. If he doesn’t like the process the Democratic Party uses to SELECT its nominee then he can either try to get them changed or get out of the party! Whining about the Super Delegates and trying to get the press and his supporters to characterize the process as unfair is in itself an unfair and dangerous tactic.

Democratic Party SELECTING not ELECTING a Nominee!
The Democratic Party’s process for SELECTING (not ELECTING) a nominee INCLUDES Super Delegates. It is absurd to say that the Super Delegates may OVERTURN the will of the people! There is no “will of the people” that applies in this process! The Democratic Party has primaries and caucuses to HELP decide who will be their nominee NOT TO DETERMINE the nominee! If Democrats don’t like this process they can change the process. All those so-called NEW, YOUNG, INSPIRED Obama supporters/voters need to be educated about the Democratic Party’s process before they go rioting if their candidate does not get SELECTED as the nominee!
The Democratic Party is in the process of SELECTING not ELECTING a presidential nominee! The American public ELECTS a President. Groups of citizens who share values and principles get together and decide who would best represent them in the general ELECTION. The groups of people are referred to as “parties” such as the Republican, Democratic, or Green Party. Each Party decides how they will go about SELECTING the person to represent them in the general ELECTION.
IF a party wished to, it could decide that the person WITH THE BIGGEST HEAD would represent them in each general ELECTION and no one could do anything to stop them as long as the people in the party agreed to that method for SELECTING their nominee! No one has a RIGHT to a vote in ANY party unless those who belong to that party decide to have members vote. Of course, a Party truly wishing to win a general election must take into consideration the public’s opinion when they establish their SELECTION processes.
The Republican and Democratic Parties are so large that millions of people are involved in their SELECTION processes; but, those processes are decided by the Parties NOT by the U.S. voters’ rights legislation! Voting in the Democratic Party’s primaries IS NOT A RIGHT! If you are a member of the Democratic Party and the Party has a primary in your state, you do have a right to vote in that primary. But, if at the end of all the primaries, someone is chosen as the nominee for whom you did not vote, your vote has NOT BEEN OVERTURNED! Your vote has been taken into consideration; it has not been overturned!
