The Deaning of Obama.

[madfloridian]

Obama said something real and true and intelligent. His opponent makes a big deal, selling out her soul for votes.

Having to explain yourself for telling the truth....a concept truly American now.

The media is well-trained. They pick up on it quickly.

Dean once said we were no safer with Saddam captured. His opponents devoured him, the media swarmed.

We are still no safer.

Hillary's response only shows me more that the Clintons are not what I thought they were once.

1. The GOP_controlled media are doing PR for their boy Old Man McSame. n/t

5. The women on the view handed mccain his ass today..

[ColbertWatcher]

13. The View?

Well, they're easily dismissed by the NASCAR crowd (Baldy McSame's real target).

No matter what anyone says, McSame's die has been cast as a "maverick".

That's the story and they're sticking to it.

Kudos to Behar, but The View still has that dumb blonde.

[Cha]

16. Right..but the idea if you heard TYT is

these are comediennes and they could take him to task..easy as a whistle.

[ColbertWatcher]

22. Actually...

...for some reason videos aren't working on this computer.

[Cha]

23. Ah, well, when you get a chance..

it's classic.

[knixphan]

18. yeah.

[uponit7771]

2. Rasing more than 20 million a month without "big donors" lobbyist or the consultant class is scaring

...the shit out of them...

It's ok though, the more people hear him the more the like him

[ErinBerin84]

3. yesterday

David Shuster and Chris Matthews were calling him an elitist for asking for orange juice in a diner, instead of taking the coffee. They were literally like "Who does that?" Um...someone who doesn't want to get all caffinated up and have a Dean Scream moment?

[madfloridian]

6. Quite frankly, I would take Dean's scream over Hillary's pandering....

any old time.

I would love to hear that scream right about now.

I am ready to scream when I see her face now, she is not who I thought her to be.

[ErinBerin84]

12. also

At least, "Dean's Scream" was at a rally where he was egged on by the enthusiasm of his supporters. When Hillary was asked about Bill's Colombian trade lobbying money, she laughed for an uncomfortably long time and said that she didn't know what to say. Did she really think that someone was not going to ask her about it?

[AllentownJake]

8. Obviously somebody

Because they had Orange Juice....

Chris Matthews is an asshat sometimes...but I'm not going to take to the street with my pot about it.

[ErinBerin84]

14. me neither

Chris Matthews is my favorite one-man traveling circus. He says gems like "The Democrats have to choose between an African American and a woman...oh my god, it's like Sophie's choice!" and "My son took the Chinese bus down from the city today to vote."

[Cha]

4. Yeah, but Obama keeps on tickin' just

like Dean..these leaders are bigger than the m$$$m.

[xxqqqzme]

7. whorporate media has been laying

the groundwork for an Obama stumble for sometime. I was surprised to see the flashing 'breaking news' box when I turned on Countdown. I was disappointed to hear it was much ado about nothing. But lordy are those pundits baring their fangs or what?

Speaking of the good Doctor - I hope you all saw him on Tavis Smiley Wednesday night. Here's a link if you missed it: http://www.pbs.org/kcet/tavissmiley/archive/200804/20080409.html

I'm certain someone previously posted this but I've been playing Camille this week w/ a fever & body rattling cough. Today is my first day back in a week.

[OzarkDem]

9. He insulted people

He and his supporters may try to spin that into something else, but it remains the same - he insulted people and there's really no explanation for it.

He owes these people an apology. Period.

[Political Heretic]

11. Either you haven't read the full comment and thus are ignorant, or you have and are thus lying.

Which is it?

[cali]

19. lying

delusional
hateful
sick

[Tarheel_Dem]

34. I vote for ignorant, and willfully so...nt

[DURHAM D]

25. Yep - an effort to do preemptive spin,,,

Obama was in California to raise money. He was attempting to make an early excuse/spin for losing Pennsylvania. He violated two political rules - (1) Don't trash a particular state (2) Don't blame the voters.

I can't recall the last time I heard a Democrat at any level blame the voters for why he is losing.

I just remembered - Obama is not really a Democrat.

[madfloridian]

32. Oh, dear God...tell me you did not say that.

I think Obama is showing such class that Hillary is floundering.

[stillcool]

29. Why are you insulted?

oh nevermind. I know why.

[Political Heretic]

10. Let's wait and see. Obama has truth on his side, AND a way of turning lead into pure gold.

Let's see how he handles it.

[Robbins]

15. Let's see

Bill Clinton Insulted Blacks and South Carolina.Ferrore Insulted Blacks.Any state that Obama has won has been attacked as unImportent Including my Home state of Missouri and relable Blue states Hawaii,Washington State,Minnesotta,Wisconsion,Marlnad,Connectiut,Maine,Vermont,and Washinton DC.
SOldiers are Insulted by the phony Sniper story and her joking about It on Leno.Let's not even
start with Mccain with Iraq,National Security,and Woman.So who Is the bigger Insulter.Not Obama.

[Barack_America]

17. Meh. I'm not sweating it.

I'm done with letting the MSM whipping me up into a frenzy.

Beautiful things are happening in Philly. I prefer to focus on that.

[AllentownJake]

21. :-)

Beautiful things are happening up here too!

Glad to hear it!

[stillcool]

26. it's funny...I don't watch it...

I see what is said here, and that's quite enough. The thing I keep in mind is what the MSM never talks about...stuff like this...

[knixphan]

20. Obama has truth on his side...

AAAND,

He has US!

As long as we stick with the man, we will not be stopped.

That's where O had improved on Dean's blueprint.

GOBAMA, and power to US.

[Catherine Vincent]

24. Don't be sad.

You better head over to the other threads talking about Obama's speech. They're having Barackgasms over there.

[KAZ]

27. What's the Matter with Kansas (Clinton).

Can't believe the shit I'm reading on this "progressive" board.

[NashVegas]

28. MF, I Think This Is Better Compared to the Line About Pick-Ups With Confederate Flags

Only in that instance, Dean accepted those rednecks, didn't use negative language about them, and was crucified.

[madfloridian]

31. You may be right. He got crucified by his own for both statements.

His "fault" was being too honest and blunt.

The media demands "pandering". Hillary and McCain just sort of coast along. Obama is causing some needed controversy, and I say good for him.

[Tarheel_Dem]

30. "Hillary's response only shows me more that the Clintons are not what I thought they were once."

Well you really can't blame her for taking a shot. I mean how else will she distract the press from Bill's latest collection of lies?

I'm hoping Obama will do a major speech next week, and highlight just how far out of touch McClinton really is. This woman feels the rural voters pain? She's worth $109 million bucks...puhleeze. McCain's wife is a gazillionaire automaton with freakish eyes, who apparently has a leather fetish, so I have a feeling Obama will emerge from this just as he emerged from the Wright controversy.

[knixphan]

33. speechwriters are SALIVATING

You know it....

There will be a major speech.
