This is an earlier article written the day before the "bitter" controversy article by the Huffington Post blogger Mayhill Fowler also known as Junehill who said in previous post under the Junehill name that she might vote for Hillary. In this she again says Obama is cocky, which if you go to her bio you will see was a theme of hers when writing about Obama. This is odd to me when she is saying up to and including the "bitter" comment article that she was a "supporter" of Obama. You will also see that she says that the fund raisers in CA were not all ultra-rich in the last paragraph. So the lady that said she was there and wasn't rich was telling the truth. There obviously were some ultra-rich at the fund raisers but not everyone was!

Obama: No Need For Foreign Policy Help From V.P. Posted April 7, 2008 Mayhill Fowler
(snip) There are a number of interesting things about Senator Obama's remarks. If Senators Clinton and McCain have not passed "those tests," likely they will be surprised to hear it. Secondly, even though I've researched and written on Hillary Clinton's trips abroad and consequently been critical of her claims, my estimation of her foreign travels is that they were sometimes quite a bit more than a dance, a briefing and a tour. What Barack Obama's remarks last night in San Francisco reveal, however, is his self-confidence--to the point of cockiness--right now. This is exactly the same demeanor on display last week in Pennsylvania.
So Bill Richardson and Joe Biden--to name two with foreign policy experience--should put aside any transient veep thoughts.
Another area--and this one is policy--in which Obama is not an expert is energy. Case in point is his ode to ethanol, which he delivered last week on his Pennsylvania bus tour at Molly's Amerigreen gas station in Manheim. This does not mean that he's going to give Al Gore the veep call--and by the by, Obama never said at the Wallingford, PA town hall meeting that he might offer Gore a cabinet position. He was very careful not to reply in the affirmative when he took the question about whether he would consider Gore. Obama said, "I will make a commitment that Al Gore will be at the table in figuring out these problems." Well, at the table is one of Obama's favorite locutions. I've heard him say on several occasions that all Americans will be at the table one time or another. Obama's table is going to be a long one.
Last night Senator Obama had a few more words on the subject of choosing a vice president. "That last thing I'd say about a vice president is--obviously, you want someone who can be president and who shares a broad vision of where I want to take the country; don't have to agree with me on every particular, but shares with me a bias for opening up government, adding a rational discourse about how we're gonna solve problems, a bias towards empowering individual citizens." Those seats at the table again.
Note Obama's delicate sentence constructions. Never a gender pronoun--a he or a she--anywhere.
The San Francisco fundraiser was Senator Obama's fourth and final of the day. He had made appearances earlier in Atherton, Marin and around the corner at another Pacific Heights mansion. Even the Obama Campaign, I suppose, can never have too much money. The folks who came out on Sunday were not the very rich, even though these events were for people who have "maxed out" their donations. The very rich have long since given. The fact that so many middle class Californians are giving $2300 to Obama shows both the depth of prosperity in the state and the allure of the scent of victory.

Sure as heck doesn't sound like a supporter to me! I ask again "Who was paying for her trips and why did she say she was a supporter!"
