Politico: Clinton Aims To Take Advantage Of Spotlight, Cast Doubt About Obama

Obama can try to Explain away his elitism

Posted by cbscrash07 at 05:36 PM

Uh-huh. Ooooo someone''s worried. LOL! OBAMA ''08!!

[Syndicate]

Obama can try to Explain away his elitism by saying he was raised poor. Although I''m still not sure if his mother or grand mother raised him. But elitism doesn''t care where or how you were raised. Elitism is an attitude that was picked up along the way. Perhaps he found it when he was organizing workers. Perhaps he found it at harvard. It doesn''t really matter were he picked it up, hes got it bad. Anybody who beleives the can run my life better than I can doesn''t deserve my vote or yours.

The Trouble With Obama%u2019s Arrogance
The freshman senator told reporters in July that he would overcome Senator Clinton%u2019s lead in the polls because %u201Cto know me is to love me.%u201D %u2026
A few months later, he said, %u201CEvery place is Barack Obama country once Barack Obama%u2019s been there.%u201D %u2026 My goodness, he is even talking in the third person!

April, 2008
Last night at a fundraiser in San Francisco, Barack Obama took a question on what he%u2019s looking for in a running mate. %u201CI would like somebody who knows about a bunch of stuff that I%u2019m not as expert on,%u201D he said, and then he was off and running. %u201CI think a lot of people assume that might be some sort of military thing to make me look more Commander-in-Chief-like. Ironically, this is an area%u2013foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Senator Clinton or Senator McCain.%u201D

And, of course, there are the arrogant, elitist remarks reported last week, and hashed over ever since. I won%u2019t repeat them here.

April, 2007
When Morgan Freeman comes over to greet Obama, the senator begins bowing down both hands in worship. %u201CThis guy was president before I was,%u201D says Obama, referring to Freeman%u2019s turn in Deep Impact and, clearly, getting a little ahead of his own bio. Next, a nod to Bruce Almighty: %u201CThis guy was God before I was.%u201D
Time%u2019s Swampland blog


February 2008
%u201CI am confident I will get her votes if I%u2019m the nominee,%u201D Obama stressed. %u201CIt%u2019s not clear she would get the votes I got if she were the nominee.%u201D

part 1 No Quarter
Barack Obama outdid himself this week, didn%u2019t he? He revealed something about his true feelings about the working-class masses whose votes he desperately needs, and perhaps his take on that higher plane he believes he occupies. But this isn%u2019t an isolated incident, and it isn%u2019t the first time we%u2019ve been reminded that Barack Obama considers himself to be superior to the rest of us.

Let me remind you of a few other times.

November, 2007
%u201CThe nice thing about my candidacy is I don%u2019t have to apologize for a lot of mistakes,%u201D said Obama.

%u201CBut they also, surprisingly enough, even in rural Iowa, recognize the opportunity to send a signal to the world that, you know, we are not as ingrown, as parochial as you may perceive.%u201D

November 2007
%u201COne of the great pleasures of running for president is to go to some tiny town in Iowa and you%u2019ve got some guy in overalls and a seahat to say what do you think about the situation in Burma, and you%u2019re thinking that he%u2019s going to ask you about corn, and he asks you about Burma%u201D

If Hillary carries Pennsylvania by a big margin the superdelegates will wait until after the North Carolina primary, if she wins by a small margin they will line up late next week.

Either way - Hillary is toast

NC is meaningless

[pepperp1]

In Lind''s article, he talks about a kind of elite arrogance that confuses its location with its substance:

Should anyone doubt that dissing rather than flattering the "rubes" is an aberration, examples of liberal snobbery are not hard to find in progressive publications. Sometimes it''s genteel, sometimes it''s raw. In an essay titled "The Urban Archipelago" a few years ago, the editors of Seattle''s alt-weekly the Stranger wrote: "It''s time to state something that we''ve felt for a long time but have been too polite to say out loud: Liberals, progressives, and Democrats do not live in a country that stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to Mexico. We live on a chain of islands. We are citizens of the Urban Archipelago, the United Cities of America. We live on islands of sanity, liberalism, and compassion -- New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle, St. Louis, Minneapolis, San Francisco, and on and on ... And we are the real Americans. They -- rural, red-state voters, the denizens of the exurbs -- are not real Americans. They are rubes, fools, and hate-mongers ...

We''ll take Manhattan."

I don''''t know what to think about Obama. Negative things just keep coming out about him. Now CBS is reporting more bad associates and it makes me wonder if he is going to be crushed in the general election. Here is the article by a CBS reporter.

Tick, tick....

Yes, its almost time for America to move past the Bushes and Clinton dynasty.

Hillary''s attacks are really immature. She''s the one who will be remembered as "bitter" when its all said and done.

She really overlooked her opponents and especially Bill Richardson; whom I might add, has gone on

the record stating he endorsed Obama because of the bitterness of her campaign.

Mark Penn dealing jobs away to Columbia during her "flawless" campaign. I mean what is she thinking?

Americans are retarded? Is that how she feels?

Obama is in the White House Unless...

1. Obama is Caught on NBCs... To Catch A Predator !!

My Bad.. D!ck Cheney, Obamas (8th Cousin) has already done that, while in the Oval Office and gotten away with it !!

So Obama could very well get away with that as well !!

3. Obama is wanted by FOXs ....Americas Most Wanted, for 45 Washington D.C Unpaid Parking Tickets !!

McCain confused about Gen. Petraeus%u2019 job, military chain of command !

Confused: Another word for Senility, Forgetfulness & AlzHeimers !!

1st Joe Liberman had to Correct McCain on Muslim Extremist, Now This !!

Obama would Beat McCain, his mind is Slipping Already, before November !!


At first blush, this may seem like a harmless error of no consequence. But it%u2019s significant, in part because it undermines the central focus of John McCain%u2019s campaign, and in part because it fits into a disconcerting pattern.

Speaking before the Associated Press%u2019s annual meeting yesterday, McCain was asked whether he would consider %u201Cdiverting troops from Iraq to Afghanistan%u201D in order to catch Osama bin Laden.

McCain replied, %u201CI would not do that unless General Petraeus said that he felt that the situation called for that.%u201D



(Jonathan Martin has the response in slightly more detail, but the larger context doesn%u2019t change the substance of the answer.)

The problem, of course, is that McCain%u2019s response doesn%u2019t make sense. In fact, as the Army Times reported, Petraeus himself explained just last week, to McCain and his Senate colleagues, that decisions like these aren%u2019t his to make.

"If Hillary carries Pennsylvania by a big margin the superdelegates will wait until after the North Carolina primary, if she wins by a small margin they will line up late next week.

Posted by craigh9 at 03:14 PM : Apr 16, 2008"


If the results mimic the polls of today, Obama will end up with 175 more delegates after N. Carolina and Hillary will end up with 170. A net loss of 5 for Hillary...not good.

[craigh9]

This race is over and the reason is very simple
1 - Obama raises money faster than he can spend it - Hillary can''t cover her bills.
2 - Politicians flock to money like mosquitos to a bug light
3 - Superdelegates are Politicians and are just waiting for the right monment to line up behind Obama to gain access to his fundraisiing ability

If Hillary carries Pennsylvania by a big margin the superdelegates will wait until after the North Carolina primary, if she wins by a small margin they will line up late next week.

Either way - Hillary is toast

That would be no. I am simply stating the fact that advocating assassination is a federal crime. I didn''t put any words into anyones mouth, your insinuation is false.

The only impression you leave is that of a narrow minded fool. Who''s childish idea of national security involves insulting the memories of those killed in the holocaust.

Girl?!? whatever, if that''s the best you can do, that''s pretty sad.
