Obama and his wife are opportunists...

WHen asked if Michelle Obama would support Hillary if she wins the nomination, she says:

If Bill or Hillary said that, there''d be hell to pay!

So Michelle, you''d have to think about supporting Hillary over McCain?

Personal much?

That''s NOT PRESIDENTIAL.

Then again, a guy who tears his own party down to build himself up isn''t that great of a progressive anyways.

Why IS the media puffing Obama up? Sorry but after the media''s pass on Bush''s mistakes and incompetence, I''m going the opposite direction of the media.

NEW NEWS FROM ABC:
So it turns out the Clinton campaign may not be so cash-strapped after all %u2014 at least not at this very moment. After offering on Wednesday to go without paychecks to help save precious campaign resources, senior staff members on Hillary Clinton''s campaign are in fact not going without pay during the month of February, ABC News has learned.
"It''s not happening," said a source familiar with the situation. Clinton''s campaign has been shouting from the rooftops all day about its online fundraising efforts since Super Tuesday. The campaign announced today that it raised more than four million dollars online in the 24 hours after polls closed on Tuesday %u2014 the biggest single haul in one day ever for the campaign. One longtime Democratic consultant not affiliated with any campaign wondered if perhaps the whole thing wasn''t a big stunt to garner media attention and look like an "underdog."
"I''d take this revelation as a sign that they planned this whole thing," the consultant said. The source familiar with the situation also believes Senator Clinton will not need to loan herself any more cash. On Wednesday it was revealed that Hillary Clinton had given her campaign an infusion of $5 million back in January.

akona2 is an uninformed person trying to knock Obama down.
Contrary, Obama is the only hope to reunite this Nationand to make many changes for the good of all Americans.
Obama is not a Muslim, in fact, he is a Christian, and he is as patriotic as I am. One has only to hear Obama and his wife speak, they exude optimism, patriotism, and change for the good.
If you want four more years of the corrupt Clinton twins,(check back on their Arkansa years and their felony friend Hsu and his contributions, you will be making a great mistake. "If you live in a glass house, you should not throw stones". Both are part of Washington''s "good ole boys/girls" club. Just more of the same and that is not what we wanted when we gave the democrats a mandate for change.
Be careful, the Clintons may not be what you really want or need.

D-emocrats and independents should ask themselves
I-s barack HUSSEIN OBAMA a MUSLIM or NOT?
S-eek for the truth, is that you say
A-ll of you who thought you knew
S-eek for a DNA test and you will know
T-he father is a MUSLIM, the brother and sister are MUSLIMs.
E-ducated in MUSLIM school
R-ight under our nose that we might not know...

DISASTER is spelled out if we get the FIRST MUSLIM PRESIDENT.

Shame that these milllons cant be spent on needy things..
Here in Australia the campaigning usually goes on for only 6 weeks thus the money can be spent where the real needs are..
I wonder if these would beeeees would raise this sort of money for others after they get into government eh... of course not..
I am disgusted at the trillions spent on your elections.. and the length of time it takes to elect the top person especially as there are many Americans who don''t vote and don''t care who is in government as they see no use in voting..the poor still continue to be poor, the sick still are sick.
All these hopeful candidates seem to care about is themselves and how many lies they can tell the public so as some will be fooled by their lies and vote them in to government.
Here in OZ, we have the left doing so much vote rigging that we would never know who really won, and what amazes me is that unless you are in the know, just how much they can fool the people into turning their lies and deciept into something that the other party has done..

Some in the party have on blinders and better to discuss it now and get it out there is risk for Nov I believe, most of us do not need or want a messianic leader for many different reasons but it would be foolish to believe that Hillary''s demographic groups grounded in traditional organized faiths wont bolt before they vote for a cultish personality it is repulsive not just creepy. And frankly as an Independent many Progressives seem to be foaming, sputtering and spitting nonsense about O being the second coming of JFK not sure if that J is for John or the other guy, which was and is a silly comparison of course. And understand many of us are not enamored with O and are becoming alarmed I would prefer a Dem but not any Dem. This O raising 32 million in one month that is just obscene and excessive.


You NEED O, You NEED change, You Need hope, You NEED O, You NEED O, You NEED change, You Need hope, You NEED O, You NEED change, You Need hope, You NEED O, You NEED change, You Need hope,

Repeat after me and tith at O.com we NEED money..
