Obama Seems Sure That Clinton Will Win W.V.
From CBS News' Michelle Levi:
CHARLESTON, W.V. -- Barack Obama told a crowd today that he's sure he won't win tomorrow's primary here saying regardless of the outcome, it'll be the Democrats' "commitment" to veterans that will "unify" the party.
"There is an election here tomorrow. I’m extraordinarily honored that some of you will support me, and I understand that many more here in West Virginia will probably support Senator Clinton," Obama said to a chorus of jeers.
"But when it’s over, what will unify as Democrats – what must unify us as Americans – is an unyielding commitment to the men and women who’ve served this nation and an unshakable fidelity to the ideals for which they’ve risked their lives."
In his continued focus on the general election, Obama questioned John McCain's commitment to veterans, criticizing McCain's opposition to the "21st Century GI Bill," which would give veterans additional financial support to attend college.
"I have great respect for John McCain's service to this country. I know he loves it dearly and honors those who serve," Obama said. "But John McCain is one of the few Senators of either party who oppose this bill because he thinks it's too generous. He thinks its too generous. I could not disagree with him more."
McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds responded to Obama's comments saying, “It is absurd for Barack Obama to question John McCain’s commitment to America’s veterans, when Obama himself voted against funding our nation’s veterans, and troops in the field during a time of war. Voters need a leader with uncompromising judgment, and will reject Barack Obama’s decision to vote against funding our troops in the field, after he said it would be irresponsible to do so.”

Obama has consistently done poorly in Appalachia, even while winning statewide in Virginia & North Carolina. He lost Ohio & Pennsylvania by losing overwhelmingly in the Appalchian areas of the state.
West Virginia & Kentucky have the largest proportions of their poulation in Appalchia of any of the states. Of course he knows he isn''t going to do well there!
and she leads Obama by 7% points. One reason why this is possible to
happen, white Americans who were angered & frustrated by Obama''s ex-pastor the Rev J. Wright''s controversial racially charged anti-white % anti-American statements, will drive them to vote for Sen McCain. Dems you still
have time to change your nominee.
If Obama gets in, the number of "reverse" discrimination cases will increase ten times or more. It is bad enough whites have to "take it" from blacks in Federal Court, let alone have a racist against whites President. Obama went to Rev. Wrights church for 20 years, plenty of brainwashing time. His wife Michelle is also anti American.
OBAMA''''s, IF YOU DO NOT LOVE AMERICA, then LEAVE AND GO BACK TO AFRICA WHERE YOUR FATHER AND FATHER IN LAW ARE FROM.
HILLARY YOU HAVE TO GET THE NOMINATION, STAY IN THERE!! Or else, don''''t come back to NEW YORK!!!
Two things have become evident to me even though they don''t
make any sense at all.
The first one is that the Democratic Party Leadership
knows damm well that if Obama where to actually make
it past the Republicans and get in the White House, the results will be disastrous.
The second one is that the Democratic leadership
is throwing this election.
I know it''s hard to believe. I know it doesnt make any sense. But it''s happening everyday right in front of us, and I can''t go on telling myself that it isn''t.
I want to make this clear to you that OBAMA is blessed to be both American as well as African and that if HE never LOVED America or had no clear vision or otherwise was seen as incapable,then he wouldnt have scooped that big majority vote!
So just admit that the trend of politics has suddenly drifted and you are yet to see more of the "OBAMAs" coming up even in other areas of the economy. So its high time you adjusted!!!

- Its a little funny, Hillary is losing and Decency has broken out in the campaigns and media!!! Big mistake, I would never turn my back on her...she is not done. Honestly, the Clintons did not get to where they are by playing nicely with others...expect nothing less out of her now. With any luck, the long run of the Great Clinton Fraud will come to an end. Its shocking they get the treatment they do after heaping so much disgrace and controversy on the Presidency and White House.
