Now that he supposedly got the nomination. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HIS PLATFORM IS? WHAT IS THE CHANGE? WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO FOR AMERICA IN FOR THE NEXT FOUR (4) YEARS? I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR THE NEWS CASTERS TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT HE IS STANDS FOR, WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR ILLINOIS. WHY I HAVE EVEN WAITED TO HEAR THE PEOPLE OF ILLINOIS BRAG OF WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR THEM. I HAVE EVEN WAITED TO HEAR WHAT HE HAS DONE WHILE HE WAS IN CONGRESS. BUT ALL THE NEWS MEDIA HAS REPORTED ON THEIR RACISM IN THE NEWS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THEY ARE BETTER AT KEEPING RACISM ALIVE IN THIS COUNTRY THAN AMERICANS. PLAY BACK ALL YOUR REPORTING OF THIS PRE ELECTION PERIOD AND YOU CAN SEE THE RACISM ON EVERY NET WORK COMING OUT LOUD AND CLEAR. ONLY IN THE REVERSE ORVER. THEY PUSHSED BEING BLACK INSTEAD OF BEING AN AMERICAN. NOT VOTE FOR THE QUALIFIED PERSON BUT VOTE BECAUSE THE MAN IS BLACK IT DON''''T MATTER IF HE CAN DO THE JOB JUST VOTE BECAUSE HE IS BLACK AND WE DON''''T WANT TO OFFEND ANYONE. GREAT TO BE IN AMERICA. WE DON''''T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT OUR DIFFERENCES FADING OUR NEWS MEDIA WILL KEEP IT GOING LOUD AND CLEAR TO THE BETTER END IN EVERY PHASE OF OUR LIFE EVEN DOWN TO ELECTING OUR PRESIDENT. WE ELECT A PRESIDENT NDOW NOT IF HE/SHE IS QUALIFIED BUT BY THE COLOR OF THE SKIN.

The biggest reason that Obama "won" the nomination is because of super-delegates pledged to Hillary switched to Obama. Fact. They can keep changing their minds until they vote in August. This ain''''t over people.

Exactly...

5 Real Reasons that he "won":

Being Dishonest,
Big Simple (and blank) Words ("CHANGE" for example)
The votes aren''t being counted correctly,
all of the statistics is "estimated"
The news is saying what they want to say...

Five Reasons Obama Won

1. Because people are gullible and will suck up anything that you think will change your circumstances
2. Because he is the candidate the oligraphy of the DNC chose for you.
3. Because of bigotry and mysogyny
4. Because you chose to be intimidated by someone who suggested your were a racist.
5. Because gullible people would rather someone make up their mind for them rather than take a real stance and don''t have the guts to take down the oligraphy.

In a sense you are right. I didn''t word that correctly. He won because of the super-delegates and that some of Hillary''s pledged switched. I have to admire you for cr4p. Was it really important to use that word. Finally, Hillary is going nowhere and the super-delegates can change their minds again. Fact.

vdscoachman,
If you have not noticed Bush had a platform and guess what he didnt keep one of his promises. We have been electing Presidents by the color of their skin for over 100 years. Who has ever been qualified to be President-from the 1st the 43rd. The Qualifications are listed in the Constitution Article II, Section I. Most of the early President''s were revolutionaries and I dont believe our current President revolutionized anything.

CHANGE is the platform, we have had enough of that other platform which was lies, greed, pull the wool over the American people''s eyes, keep the power elite in control, my family''s legacy must be preserved, shall I go on?

You are example of keeping Racism alive as well, because if there were 2 white men running you would not have commented here.

America is a great country, with a lot of great people of all races, I want to see all the races CHANGE AMERICA!! So come on and join us!

Um actually your "fact" isn''t a fact, it''s cr4p. The merest handful of delegates have switched over to Obama from Hillary and one has even switched back. 40+ super delegates voted for Obama last night after the final election tallies had come in, they had not voted for Hillary prior to that.

Trying to claim that that''s some kind of "major reason" why Obama beat the Clinton Machine is nonsense.

Danger. Political fallout hazard zone.

Clinton VP and associated vulnerabilities to consider in the continuous assessment of this risk = a millstone around your Presidential neck.

Defined as a problem or responsibility that you have all the time thus preventing you from doing what you want.

Choose a successful fresh and clear path of less thorny obstruction and wretched underling syndrome in political meltdown ambition suppressing entanglement.

Demonstrate what change in our American political culture can truly be by choosing a compatible VP to compliment your inspiring campaign not complicate it.


Select your VP wisely and you will be vindicated.

Onevitable."

I was for Mrs. Clinton. But neither she nor I nor nearly anyone ever thought she was he Onevitable" nominee. Only present geration reporters who feed off each-others words ever wrote that word about her candidacy. Just oNCE I would like to see one of them QUOTE some candidate or expert who said "Clinton is the inevitable nominee."

Who said that? When? Where? Those are among the basic questions one is taught to answer in journalism. Come on CBS. Who? When? Where?

Dateline, March 1, 2009

President Barack Obama today conferred with Attorney General Robert Wexler on the upcoming War Crimes and Treason Trials for former President Bush and former Vice President Cheney. Also discussed, were the outstanding warrants for the two criminals, who had earlier fled the country to the safe haven nonextradition Nations of Paraguay and Dubai, respectively, and other warrants issued for former Bush Administration officials, Condaleeza Rice, Alberto Gonzales, Donald Rumsfeld, and numerous others known to have conspired against the people and Government of the United States.

Other items being discussed today were the complete reversal of the Patriot Act and other former Illegal and unconstitutional acts and decrees instituted by the now defunct and outlawed Bush Regime, and a return to Constitutional systems previously in place.

"I have today, begun returning our Nation to it''s former greatness, while not forgetting that justice and the rule of law must be upheld, even retroactively", the President said.
"Americans demanded, by their votes last November, that I uphold the laws of our Nation, and bring these treasonous criminals to justice", he said.
"By our actions here today, let it be known, that from this time forward, no person, no matter their station in society, and this includes the President or any other high Government Official, can ignore the constitution and rule of law".

"Certainly not going to support the party that just threw away the majority votes like a piece of GD wasted paper.

Posted by TiredofObama at 02:53 PM : Jun 04, 2008"


You were never going to vote Dem anyway so no loss there. Why don''t you go to www.realclearpolitics.com and tell me which set of "majority votes" you want to use. Do you want the straight up votes? then Obama wins. do you want the popular vote with MI and the estimated caucus states? Then Hillary wins. Do you want the MI votes with the undecided votes and the caucus states? then Obama won.

Which vote do you want? Is it only fair if Hillary gets the nod? Or is it only fair if everyone gets their vote counted? Which vote do you want?
