Comments on: Clinton Desperate to Count Votes, Compares Fla. Primary to Zimbabwe

The "out of touch" Obama:

(6)This month in Cape Girardeau, Mo., Obama said about Arabic translators %u201CWe only have a certain number of them, and if they are all in Iraq, then it%u2019s harder for us to use them in Afghanistan.%u201D The Afghanis speak Pashto, Farsi, or other non-Arabic languages.

(7)Over the weekend in Oregon, Obama pleaded ignorance of the decades-old, multibillion-dollar massive Hanford nuclear-waste cleanup. He voted on at least one defense-authorization bill that addressed the %u201Ccosts, schedules, and technical issues%u201D dealing with the nation%u2019s most contaminated nuclear-waste site.

(8)Last March, the Chicago Tribune reported a fake autobiographical detail in Obama%u2019s Dreams from his Father: %u201CThen, there%u2019s the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin. In fact, the Life article and the photographs don%u2019t exist, say the magazine%u2019s own historians.%u201D

(9)Obama told a Portland crowd over the weekend that Iran doesn%u2019t %u201Cpose a serious threat to us%u201D %u2014 cluelessly arguing that %u201Ctiny countries%u201D with small defense budgets can%u2019t do us harm %u2014 and then promptly flip-flopped the next day, claiming, %u201CI%u2019ve made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.%u201D

BO is out of touch of this world.

Evidences:

(1)Last May, he claimed that tornadoes in Kansas killed a whopping 10,000 people: %u201CIn case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died %u2014 an entire town destroyed.%u201D The actual death toll: 12.

(2)%u201COver the last 15 months, we%u2019ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I%u2019ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.%u201D

(3)Last week, in front of a roaring Sioux Falls, S.D., audience, Obama exulted: %u201CThank you, Sioux City. ... I said it wrong. I%u2019ve been in Iowa for too long. I%u2019m sorry.%u201D

(4)Explaining last week why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: %u201CSen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it%u2019s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.%u201D On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois?

(5)Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Ala., he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement: %u201CThere was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala., because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.%u201D

Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965.

Todd Spivak of the Houston Press has documented how Obama accomplished next to nothing in his first six years in the Illinois legislature.

Then Emil Jones Jr. an African American with thirty years in the legislature made Obama a sponsor of 26 bills that became law. This is how BO portrays himself as a highly successful legislator.

Just like giving him the ball at 1 yard line and carry him in.

Has Obama repaid Jones? Yes. He has provided tens of millions in earmarks for Jones'' district.

Michelle Obama''s salary at University of Chicago Hospitals when her husband won the US Senate seat was $121,000. Within weeks of his swearing in, her salary went to over $320,000. The following year Obama did an earmark request for $1 million for her employer.

BO has used bombastic high-flown language to fool millions of people by poetic promises of change. In reality, he has taken considerable money and support from all sorts of corporate and other special interests. Remember his Bittergate talking to billionaires in San Francisco!

BO''s credential passed in the net is fabricated and not true; FACTCHECK says don''t believe it.

BO ducks and quits on debates, people and the truth. BO does not have the stamina and tenacity to be a true, and solid reformer and is a crooked politician.

Since you BO fanatics are so interested in personal attacks rather than the issue, I am going to tell you how out of touch that BO can be.

Just in: Robert Mugabe endorses Hillary!!

Since Clinton believes the Florida nd Michigan votes met the basic requirements of a legitimate election, why don''t we just save ourselves a lot of money and energy, and have our nominees chosen during a national primary like Super Tuesday, with no campaigning allowed, on January 2 of each presidential election year? It''s a dreadful waste of time and money, when a Florida or Michigan-type vote would do. So, why is Hillary so intent on having every last vote counted, since she doesn''t even really care how she gets her votes? Does she think the voters are idiots that we don''t see right through her silly machinations? Hillary has insisted since Florida voted that the votes stand as counted, and that is the main reason no revote occurred. She ran out the clock, so she could go with the option of counting a phony vote that favored her in its ground-rules, rather than face Obama in a free and fair election. It''s scary that we have a candidate for the presidency who does not even know the basics of a fair election, if she really believes these votes were adequately democratic.
I beleive Clinton would make a very dangerous president. What we have seen during this campaign is the self-destruction of a once- respected politician. She does not know how to function under pressure, and her worst instincts take over.

[nearl4511]

I just heard a rumor that Bill Clinton, tired of the low road politics in this campaign, will change his endorsement tomorrow from Hillary to Obama, since at least he has a few ethical standards.

[OK. I really didn''t hear it,but thought of it and it seemed dam ned funny.)

Pass it on!

However, is that the sort of democracy we pride ourselves on in America? We like to think our presidential candidates can come on the national stage and compete equally with people with the last names of Bush or Clinton or even Kennedy or Roosevelt. But, that wasn''t the situation in Michigan and Florida: the rules placed Obama at a disadvantage. If he had known she would try to claim those votes to give some cover of legitimacy to her bid to convince the superdelegates, he would have gone along with her in adamantly opposing the lousy "rules" under which those states "voted". But, of course, she didn''t oppose those flawed "elections" because she preferred to have Obama at a disadvantage. She clearly believes that she should enjoy an advantage based on her name. I think some party elder seriously needs to have a talk with her about the fundamentals of free and fair elections before she is allowed to soapbox anymore on a "stolen" election and disenfranchisement. You don''t count votes just because they happened, and you don''t claim them only after you have won there. The essence of a democracy is that at least everyone knows the framework in which the votes are cast. A vote which is as fatally flawed as Florida''s and Michigan''s in which the voters had every reason to believe their votes would not count does not count as "fair". .

She''d be talking to the
superdelegates about how deluded the voters are, and how only she has the insight to know who would make the best nominee and the best president. She has seen nothing wrong with implying that the voters who voted for Obama in so many states are clueless. Do you think this woman cares about the rights of any voter who didn''t vote for her? She is a gutter fighter, and I hope that her political career in the United States is finished. Carter is involved in supervising elections in countries where the record of democracy is weak. He has said the elections in Florida and Michigan do not count as "democratic". How could they? Elections such as Michigan''s and Florida''s which come before the candidates have had a chance for ample exposure favor the candidate with the established name. This is the sort of election that Mugabe would like to have, one in which his opponent has no time to make his case to the voters. Putting 2 big states like Florida and Michigan into a position where their more numerous votes purposely favor the name-brand candidate is completely anti-democratic. Yes, Mugabe would like the pretense of an election, to give him legitimacy on the world stage, but he wants it on his terms. Those are the same terms asked for by Hillary, one in which the unknown candidate is not allowed to compete effectively because he is barred from campaigning, while the other candidate is well-known, since she is the wife of a popular ex-president.
