Hillary is still talking about how Obama is all talk, no action.

She's a worthless piece of shtein.

Better.

[Diomedes]

Especially one that's got the military pedigree of McCain.

there are afterall very important tactical matters that depend upon understanding this distinction, even at the top

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The good news is that he probably understands the situation better than W.

[Diomedes]

the bad news is that the same could be said for every candidate who has already dropped out

Black Guy Asks Nation For Change
March 19, 2008 | Issue 44•12
     
CHICAGO—According to witnesses, a loud black man approached a crowd of some 4,000 strangers in downtown Chicago Tuesday and made repeated demands for change.

"The time for change is now," said the black guy, yelling at everyone within earshot for 20 straight minutes, practically begging America for change. "The need for change is stronger and more urgent than ever before. And only you—the people standing here today, and indeed all the people of this great nation—only you can deliver this change."

It is estimated that, to date, the black man has asked every single person in the United States for change.

"I've already seen this guy four times today," Chicago-area ad salesman Blake Gordon said. "Every time, it's the same exact spiel. 'I need change.' 'I want change.' Why's he so eager for all this change? What's he going to do with it, anyway?"

After his initial requests for change, the black man rambled nonstop on a variety of unrelated topics, calling for affordable health care, demanding that the government immediately begin withdrawing troops from Iraq, and proposing a $75 billion economic stimulus plan to create new jobs.

"What a wacko," Schaumburg, IL resident Patrick Morledge said. "And, of course, after telling us all about how he had the ability to magically fix everything, he went right back to asking for change. Typical."

"If he's really looking for change, he's got the wrong guy," Morledge added.

Reports indicate that the black man has been riding from city to city across the country, asking for change wherever he goes. Citizens in Austin, TX said they spotted the same guy standing on the street Friday, shouting far-fetched ideas about global warming. Cleveland residents also reported seeing him in a local park, wildly gesticulating and quoting from the Bible. And last week, patrons at the Starlight Diner in Cheyenne, WY claimed that the black man accosted them while they were eating, repeatedly requesting change.

"I saw him walk in and I knew he was headed straight for our table," said mother of three Gladys Davies. "He just stood there smiling at us for a while, and asked how our food tasted. Then he went and did the same thing at the next table over. The nerve of some people."

Those who encountered the black man Tuesday said he engaged in erratic behavior, including pointing at random people in the crowd and desperately saying he needs their help, going up to complete strangers and hugging them, and angrily claiming that he is not looking for just a little bit of change, but rather a great deal of change, and that he wants it "right now."

"I'll be honest, when that black guy said he would 'stop at nothing' to get change, it kind of scared me," local mechanic Phil Nighbert said. "Just leave me alone."

Though many were taken aback by the black man's brazen demands, some, such as Jackson, MS's Holly Moser, sympathized with him. She gave the black man credit for boldly standing up and asking every last person around him for change.

"I told him I'd give him some if I saw him later, even though I probably won't," Moser said. "Very nice man, though."

Most, however, ignored his requests.

"I'm a hardworking American who pays his taxes, and the last thing I need is some guy on the street demanding change from me," said William Overkamp, a Springfield, IL gun-shop owner.

He added, "What he really needs is a job."

It's still completely unfathomable to me that the Democratic party wasted money on primaries in Michigan and Florida when they knew they weren't going to count.  Now they don't have the money to fund a primary that counts.

Just idiotic.

Just idiotic.

The sad part is whining that they want to have a voice when they are the ones who decided to move up the date of their primaries.  They knew this would happen but did it anyway.

Fleshpop Morris:  It's over.  Obama wins.


Wow:  Mike Huckabee on Jeremiah Wright:

An assist from an unexpected quarter:

"[Y]ou can't hold the candidate responsible for everything that people around him may say or do," Huckabee says. "It's interesting to me that there are some people on the left who are having to be very uncomfortable with what ... Wright said, when they all were all over a Jerry Falwell, or anyone on the right who said things that they found very awkward and uncomfortable, years ago. Many times those were statements lifted out of the context of a larger sermon. Sermons, after all, are rarely written word for word by pastors like Rev. Wright, who are delivering them extemporaneously, and caught up in the emotion of the moment. There are things that sometimes get said, that if you put them on paper and looked at them in print, you'd say 'Well, I didn't mean to say it quite like that.'"

Later, he defended Wright's anger, too:

"As easy as it is for those of us who are white to look back and say 'That's a terrible statement!' ... I grew up in a very segregated South. And I think that you have to cut some slack — and I'm gonna be probably the only conservative in America who's gonna say something like this, but I'm just tellin' you — we've gotta cut some slack to people who grew up being called names..."

The speech was really bad. Not even first grade racial understanding. Then Obama took a really long time explaining how we had a choice between--- bad stuff (or his conception of bad stuff)---- OR VOTING FOR HIM!!! (this is the definition of messiah complex, by the way)

His main point was that the only way forward was by voting for him, all other paths were backwards or stuck in the mud FOREVER.

HUH! Since when? Why does anyone support this man? Because he says you should? WOW!!!

Of course, those are not the words he said, they were the theme. Which is great, because you will think that it is something you thought of yourself, not that he told you to do it. This is apparent from all the people saying it was a great speech.

Was it? Why?

Courage? He had no choice.

His entire tone was black-centric. I thought his church was Afro-centric? What did we do to Africa? It was Africans that sold slaves. Lately, America has tried to help Africa.

Obama does not have the required number of delegates to win. I am praying that he does not get even one more. PA zero delegates, NC zero delegates. Then we will have the story of the century and it is only 2008.

wh-wh-what??
