Report: Obama Consolidating Dem Party Structure

By: Vaughn Ververs
Topics: Barack Obama

The Politico reports on a "major shakeup" in the Democratic Party in which presumptive nominee is seizing control of the DNC and moving some of its operations to his home base of Chicago.

DNC spokeswoman Karen Finney tells Politico that the committee's political department will be "dramatically rebuilt" and staffers offered the choice of moving to Chicago or joining state organizations. "The DNC's key role in coordinating political operations with state parties is expected to largely be taken over and overseen by Obama's senior staff in Chicago," Ben Smith reports.

by alicerea1 June 13, 2008 11:28 AM EDT: Why doesn%u2019t Obama talk about his father? Would someone in the media ask Senator Obama what religion his father was. I think he was a "non practicing'' Muslim.. If his "father" was a Muslim do the Muslims look at Obama in a certain light that we should know about? Why don''t we know where his father''s brothers and sisters are? Maybe if Obama would stop throwing all of his friends and family under the bus and start confronting these issues, Americans could put his Muslim heritage under the bus too, What''s the big deal.; Reply to this comment


by alicerea1 June 13, 2008 10:50 AM EDT: Senator Obama is embarrassing to the American people. Now he has to run to Chicago to be near his associates: William Ayers (domestic terrorist), Rezko (Syrian Criminal) Rev. Wright(racist anti American preacher) Father Flaeger (racist father), Louis Farrakhan (Nation of Islam leader) and his disowned Church parishoners. This is scary.

He gives speeches, that''s it.

He has no experience so what does he really have to talk about.
We can''t talk about his wife
We can''t talk about his muslim father
We can''t talk about his pastor
We can''t talk about his friend Rezko
We can''t talk about his friend William Ayers
We can''t talk about his church supporting Farrakhan

He just keeps throwing everyone under the bus. It''s getting crowded under there wouldn''t ya think?

All candidates should be transparent.
If Senator Clinton or McCain had these friends or attended a church that supported the Ku Klux Klan, shouldn''t we question their values?

This man is running for President of our beautiful country. We really should know everything about him.; Reply to this comment

by omaar-101 June 13, 2008 2:28 AM EDT: Note: George H. Bush Sr. was the only President in Modern Times to have Both (International Experience), as (CIA Dir.) an (National Experience) 2 Terms as (R. VP) under Ronald Wilson Reagan and His A!! lasted 1 Term as President...

So Much for being `Experienced`

Sorry

Governor George Bush Jr. Of Texas was In-Expeienced when he came into Office, During Office and Now Coming to the End of his Office, he leaves with the Lowest Approval rating of any US President.

A Governorship is (State-Regional Experience) Only

Ask Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton they too were of Governors of (Ga) & (Tex) with No National or International Experience, but the Most important thing, their saving Grace, they were White.

None of them had National Or International Experience....

Just say You want a White Person, ANY White Person, whether the White Person is a 72 Yr Old Semi Senile War Monger, with a Irrational Temper, with his Menaical Trembling Hands of the Button, just as long as he`s White.

PS: JIMMY CARTER BROKERED THE ISRAEL & EYGPTIAN MIDDLE EAST PEACE AGREEMENT & THE AMERICAN & RUSSIAN STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ARMS AGREEMENT AN BOTH AGREEMENTS STILL STAND, TO THIS VERY DAY.; Reply to this comment


by omaar-101 June 13, 2008 2:27 AM EDT: Sorry, The Whites Only in the White House, is coming to a END.

I bet you`ll have a Problem (R) Vice President Bobby Jindal, whose Real Name is Not Bobby, but an Adopted Name.

Bobby Jindal was also a Hindu until Graduating High School and he continues his Hindu traditions of being a Vegetarian.

IF McCain`s A $$ is Elected and Jindal is his Vice President and John McCain falls Ill or Dies in office, then Piyush Jindal will become President of the USA at (36)

B!tch About that ....

You Snaggle Tooth Jack A$$`s

Bobby Jindal LOOKS MORE like an ARAB, than Barack Obama ....

I can Hear it NOW, when McCain can`t Finish his TERM as YOUR USA President...

I Piyush Jindal, do Solemly Swear, to uphold the constitution of the USA as its...President

Hahahahaha !!!!; Reply to this comment


by jack3213 June 13, 2008 1:21 AM EDT: People ought to either wake up from their fog, start reading non biased news, or open your eyes to the truth because McCain is not Bush- and Obama is not experianced. The Democrat will raise your taxes, has not been to Iraq, and has never talked to Petraeous. The USA needs a leader, not a boy who wants to learn on the job. Obama is nothing more than an unqualified hypocrit.; Reply to this comment
