1. Nope, that honor goes to Hillary, who supports Dubya's foreign policy tragedies. n/t

n/t

[YOY]

2. Epic Fail!

[berni_mccoy]

72. Coffee... all... over... keyboard! DAMN YOU!

:rofl:

[Bonobo]

3. That article reads like it was written by a high-school student.

Here is a sampling:

"In the middle of what is the potential biggest job in his career, Obama takes time off to go to the Virgin Islands. Bush is know for his excessive vacationing especially in times of crisis, is that what we have to look forward to with Obama?"

Great analysis, not.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

49. I *heart* run on sentences!

[datopbanana]

4. im glad to see clinton supporters immersing themselves in such intelligent reading material

i now know what sources it takes to get twisted enough to vote for her.

[Bonobo]

5. Only a fool would post that to support their arguments.

[Hepburn]

6. Simple article....

...only a simpleton would buy.

[datopbanana]

12. thankfully for the writer, there are 59Million of them

[Hepburn]

16. LOL....

...I forgot about that cover. But...they have to be as dumb as the Dubya voters to not see through all the bullshit, IMO.

[K Gardner]

7. This one REALLY deserves to SINK.

[cali]

23. I completely disagree

this one deserves to be kicked, and mercilessly mocked.

[mtnsnake]

26. cali, do you think Obama smirks just like Bush does?

Personally, I think his smirk is eerily similar to Bush's, especially when he's doing it to Hillary.

[PBS Poll-435]

34. I honestly don't see him smirk that much....

Usually Obama is glaring at Clinton.

[mtnsnake]

38. He does it a lot. He also did it often in the debates, just like Bush used to do

He smirks more often when he thinks he has the advantage. I guess he feels his cockiest then.

[PBS Poll-435]

44. Exactly...

Either it is driven by insecurity or over confidence. Either way...it is ugly.

[Auntie Bush]

79. No, he feels more cocky when

he holds his head up and looks down his nose. Even bush* with his bow legs...elbows out didn't look down his nose at people.

[roguevalley]

83. i guess its official now. some people here would rather find more

worth in a war criminal dipshit than the probable next president. delusional.

[roguevalley]

81. ha. this is so childish. smirks like bush. not likely. maybe we can

talk about his shoes next and maybe how come he won't sit at our table in the cafeteria.

[cali]

43. I think you're deranged by hate. honestly. And I don't think

either Hillary or Barack have anything in common with W, aside from the fact that all three went
to either Harvard or Yale or both and that they're all politicians. I think it's disgusting to compare Hillary or Barack to that waR criminal.

[mtnsnake]

47. Not an ounce of hate in my body, cali, but I understand, since your a devout Obama groupie

so I won't hold it against you. :)

[cali]

48. Unl;ike you, I'm neither deranged by hate or a slobbering

groupie. You've demonstrated conclusively that you're addled by both uncritical albeit bizarre devotion to your "goddess" and rabid hate of Obama. I'll forgive you because you're sick and need professional help.

:hi:

[Hepburn]

50. Looks like IGNORED is having another bad day.

Nice of you to be so kind to IGNORED!

:hi:

[mtnsnake]

57. I know you peeked. All you "ignore" braggarts peek. lol

BTW, ignoring the cold hard truth is not healthy.

[donheld]

77. Yes ignored must be having a hateful day

That's why they wind up ignored by me.

[mtnsnake]

56. "Unl;ike you, I'm neither deranged by hate or a slobbering groupie"

I didn't say you're "slobbering", just that you like everyone to think that you are Obama's number 1 groupie, which I'm sure that you are. Why are you so embarrassed about that? I mean, it is kind of sad that you're such a devout groupie of a politician, but at least you don't try to hide it, so I will give you credit for that.

You should try to be more open minded, though, about this race, like I am. It's not healthy for you to swoon over one candidate so much while totally blocking out the other one, considering they're both Democrats.

:hi:

[cali]

58. *snicker*

now you claim you know what I think without my having said I think any such thing? Sorry, snaky, I actually criticize Obamam, and unlike you, I don't write love poems to the candidate I support, or confuse him with a deity.

[mtnsnake]

59. ahh, so that's why you're in such a foul mood? Because you didn't approve of my "love poem"? lol

If I knew that, I would've written a poem for Obama, too, just for you :)

[cali]

63. actually, I'm in a good mood today

and I thought your love poem was kind of cute in a goofy way.

[mtnsnake]

66. good to hear.

and I thought your love poem was kind of cute in a goofy way

Thanks. Thats all it was meant to be. ;)

[Hepburn]

35. ..

....:evilgrin:

[BeyondGeography]

8. 42 the next 41?

[cali]

9. god, I'm sick of stupid provocateurs

who rifle through websites looking for the most idiotic flamebait they can find.

Do you have a problem with the Canadian Obama delegation here at DU?

13. anamnua the next entry in my ignore list?

Yep.

[emilyg]

71. Who cares what you do?

[cali]

14. this is how mind bogglingly stupid this article is:

"The similarities don’t end with misleading the public and supporting oil companies. As Obama lost several important states at the end of February and beginning of March, instead of forging on like Hillary did, he took a vacation with his family. Could he not take the pressure? Maybe he had a boil like the one Bush grew during the Florida debacle of 2000 when he was faced with the possible loss of the election.

In the middle of what is the potential biggest job in his career, Obama takes time off to go to the Virgin Islands. Bush is know for his excessive vacationing especially in times of crisis, is that what we have to look forward to with Obama?"

[roguevalley]

84. what was it? two or three days during spring break with his kids?

I would rather him be on his a game after a rest, taking care of his wife and little children than not. this article is demented.

[mtnsnake]

15. "Obama may not be lying but he’s misleading the public"

Ouch!

[midnight]

17. Ok, Obama people is this true?

You may ask, how is Obama doing this? In his most recent commercials Obama says that he has never taken money from an oil company, insinuating that the other candidates may have. However, no one can legally take money from an oil company for their campaign, which means none of them have.

What Obama doesn’t tell the public is he has received $213,000 in donations from oil company employees according to Senator Hillary Clinton’s staff. People that work for the oil companies also happen to be involved with Obama’s campaign.

[Hepburn]

19. You are really stretching this....

....why shouldn't someone who works for an oil company be allowed to donate to a candidate of his/her choice without some asshole assuming that the oil company itself support the candidate?

Sheesh....:eyes:

[PVnRT]

45. So fucking what?

Christ, this pisses me off. Are citizens only allowed to get involved if they work in the "approved" places? Please provide us a list of the kind of industries that are not allowed to participate in Democratic politics.

[Adelante]

18. The writer is a Hillary fan

Like many women before her, is Hillary’s obstacle her sex?

By Judi Panasik
The Weekly Recorder
April 11, 2008

Last weekend I took a trip to the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and ironically was subjected to a weekend filled with feminism. It was on this trip that I gained more respect for the obstacles faced by Senator Hillary Clinton as a woman. And although Hillary never brings up the gender that plagues her, the reality of it is in America, women still remain the overlooked majority.

In other countries around the world women have been elected to equal positions for decades. Margaret Thatcher in England, Imelda Marcos in the Philippines, and in India where women have less standing then men Indira Gandhi became Prime Minister in 1964. Over the last 200 years, England has been mainly ruled by Queens. Why then is America, the land of opportunity and equality, not ready for a woman?

Hillary would not have been my first choice for the first female presidential or democratic candidate. The truth be told, I swore to my friends I would never vote for her. Like most people that I talk to, as a feminist I’ve held a grudge over her commitment to her husband after endless sexual scandals. I was bothered by the fact that she would be the first woman to represent women. Over the last week, while researching an artist whose exhibit I was going to view, I saw striking similarities between the two women. That, along with my recent encounters with Hillary, has changed my view of the woman that she is.

"Hillary never brings up the gender that plagues her..."

[rodeodance]

25. Actually very good article--thanks

[La Lioness Priyanka]

27. Interesting.

I've also come to find Obama to be annoyingly similar to Boosh in many ways, several of which the article mentions. It is thoroughly amazing that the press has never said a word to my knowledge about the uniter-not-a-divider similarity in the rhetoric and campaign strategery of Boosh and Obama.

He also talks like Boosh in interviews - kinda slow, halting with gaps of silence, and sometimes just as non sequitur. Not in speeches - those he is very good at, but the interviews drive me up the wall.

[Autumn]

64. I like Senator Obama,

when I read his speeches,but I find his ministerial cadence irritating too.

[roguevalley]

86. okay. if we are going to plaster together how our guys are like the

war-criminal hyena in the White House, I offer the following similarity between Boosh and Clinton: they both lied about their military service.

Happy?

[OzarkDem]

28. That's very likely

Owned by corporate America

Big ego, thin skinned, defensive

Arrogant

Resents women - has the same mother/father issues

Inexperienced and insecure - vulnerable to manipulation by others

Delegator

Focus is on style not substance - will gladly trade good PR for good public policy

Combative personality

Did I say inexperienced and willing to be manipulated?

[mtnsnake]

29. Good analogy, especially points 1-9

:thumbsup:

[cali]

33. you really have become deranged

by your hate of Obama, if you believe this malicious crap.

[mtnsnake]

41. I dont hate Obama & you know it. Your just saying that because you want to think your his #1 groupie

and you like being overprotective of him. Nice try, though, cali

[cali]

30. Ozark Dem

takes another messy dump in GDP leaving behind a stinking pile of stupid and dishonest.

[Vinca]

31. Wow - many of the things you cite could also be attributed to both Clintons. nt

[OzarkDem]

39. Not at all

and they've both been in the WH and Senate and have been tested under the worst kinds of pressure and attacks. And they still get a quality job done.

More importantly, whatever anyone may say about them, they govern with the idea of watching out for the best interests of all Americans. That's what puts them above the others.

[PVnRT]

46. Can they heal injured swans with a simple touch, too?

[roguevalley]

88. they've been tested all right. under fire. under cover(s).

[roguevalley]

87. you shouldn't talk about Bill Clinton that way.

[MyNameGoesHere]

37. Not really. He only admires

Shrub 1, raygun ronnie, and mcstain. And he wants to get back to those types of Foreign relationship doctrines. You know, unprovoked wars and such.

[Prophet 451]

40. No, Obama has a brain

Also, there is (thankfully) only one man as evil as Cheney.

[PVnRT]

42. Oh no! People who work for oil companies donated to him!

Private citizens who happen to work for the oil industry sent him money! HE'S A TOOL OF BIG OIL!!!! I'm a Defense contractor, so I guess I shouldn't donate, since that will mean he's a TOOL OF THE MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX!!!!

And I guess the opinions of all the people against the Iraq War from the beginning don't count, since they weren't in Congress. Damn. I'm screwed again. I'm glad Judi is letting us know what the "truth" is.

[tammywammy]

76. It's okay, I donate and I'm a tool of the foreign auto industry

:)

[Raffi Ella]

52. Too close to the truth for most people in DG P, aka Pro Obama Land...

interesting read, thanks and WELCOME to D.U.

53. Obama the next Carter more like. But this is blue-skying as we will have McCain.

65. Wow. You stay classy, Hillary fans!

Keep flinging every nugget of shit you can find, and then when Obama supporters stand up for him you back off and start sobbing just like your wreck of a candidate.

Christ, you people are just sad.

[bridgit]

67. When BHO supporters stand up it ain't all fresh & fly...it's a knife fight don't shit yerself...

It is at times just such as this I'm thankful for the work we do. Cause I'm leaving for the day. You can sit here juke & smack talk all day long...have fun.

70. Of course not. Dubya was a false god.

We'd never shave our heads and sell flowers in the airport concourse for him.

75. Kudos on acknowledging Obama will be the next president.

That's the first step in your recovery.

[Bensthename]

78. Yes, Obama will be the next Prezzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[book_worm]

82. too bad of the two candidates left standing on Dem side it was Hill who fell for Bush's lies.

[JBoy]

85. That article is crap. Catchy title, but completely unsubstantiated in the body.

"Obama is just like Bush", followed by a bunch of drivel that fails miserably to make the argument.

I'd give it an "F" if it were a college paper.

[JoFerret]

89. Obama has much in common with Bush

There are also key differences. (Of course.) But the similarities are disturbing.
