Political Punch

All Zero has to do is say that he made a mistake, he apaologizes, but to move on, nothing there..... and 53% of the national useful idiots say "amen". In six months it will be another tune... buyers' regret will be much stronger. If Europe's demonstrations move into the USA, it will be pandemonium in the streets of NY, LA, etc. and the detention centers planned by the Zero handlers will be full... they were not really intended for the GITMO detainees. But, there will still be 53% useful idiots adoring the "idiot savant".... and, most countries worldwide will be agin' us..... so much for "CHANGE".

And he's done it again:

"Obama Says Supporters' Anti-Israel Comments Don't Speak for Him"

Bloomberg News, May 23

In my adult life, I have never seen a snake oil salesman get so close to being leader of the free world as we are now.

Obama is a dangerous, naive fool and wave after wave of sheep are following him to the cliff with great big smiles on their faces and empty eyes that can't see the truth in front of them.

Say goodbye to your friends in Canada, Mexico, and Europe. Our agreements with them no longer matter. Say hello to your new friends in Iran, Cuba, Syria, and our buddy Hugo Chavez. Welcome Hamas with open arms.

And kiss Israel goodbye, because Obama is going to go talk to the man who says Isreal will be exterminated at least twice each week.

OTBW "Tina from Florida", Clinton did leave a surplus...by practically shutting down the military. How "astute" was that? He was another clueless monkey completely unfit to serve as CIC of anything.

The more I hear of Obama, the more I dislike him and the less I trust him. I used to think he was an empty suit, but I've come to believe that he's calculated and vain. He seems to care more about him image than the work of office.

He will never get my vote. Actually, he's starting to remind me of Bush.

You folks can attack Obama all you want but he is ahead of McCain by 7 points (doing better than Hillary by the way who is leading McCain by only 4 points) and the general has not even started yet. A complete review of all the relevant data available shows a solid advantage for Obama:(read it and weap)

The simple fact of the matter is that while the media simply assumes that black voters will return to support Hillary, the vast majority will not and she will lose a large number of states she believes she has won as a result.

If Hillary would have just beaten Obama without all the cheating and race baiting (which her sore loser supporters are so willing to excuse) black voters would have returned. As it stands now, Hillary is more hated in the black community than David Duke. The media just will not cover it.

Does anyone wonder how Hillary could go from earning 54% of the black vote at the begining of this race to only holding 6% of that vote now? Did black voters not realize Obama was black at the begining of the race? Um no. They realized that Hillary was a race hustler and began jumping ship in mass numbers.

The party is split right now along racial lines and as Hillary's folks won't vote for Obama and Obama's folks won't vote for Hillary, McCain should win. If he loses, the republican party is truly dead at sea.

I quite honestly wouldn't mind a McCain presidency if he would just change his position on Iraq (I just think its costing too much and those folks have no incentive to stand up as long as we keep footing the bill). McCain just might change his position given the fact that much of what he says now is just to woo guliable conservatives.

Obama's clearly the better of the three but whether he wins or loses is of little matter in the grand scheme of things. People like to imagine that every presidential election "is the most important of our lifetime." Gimmie a break. I'm far more interested in the fight between the ideologies of liberalism and conservatism and, on that front, I'm happy with what I see.

The very fact that the republican party was too chicken to nominate a real conservative (remember when Rudy pro-choice Guilliani was the frontrunner?) is essentially a concession that they did not believe a conservative could be elected. Question is: why not? They've had a conservative president in for two terms and he had a republican majority to work with for most of that time. So, um, where's the beef? All of these Obama haters on here have alot to say about Wright but no defense of Bush's unspeakable failure. Americans are done with conservatism as it relates to economics, the environment, and foreign policy. There may be some hold outs on social issues like abortion, religion, etc. but the importance of that nonsense is diminishing every day. So stop worrying so much about Obama's staffers putting the wrong page numbers on their TPS reports people. The race for the white house is not the race to watch. The real race is the one that conservatives are losing in the long haul and so scared to talk about.

P.S. I'm watching McCain on fox right now discussing global warming...lol...he's practically a democrat

U.S. president Harry S. Truman had a sign with the inscription "BUCK STOPS HERE" on his desk. This was meant to indicate that he didn't pass the buck to anyone else but accepted personal responsibility for the way the country was governed.

Should we ask less of Obama as POTUS?

Gosh, some fairness from the media! Thx!

Please don't forget the BHO hypocrisy regarding the same old nasty politics of "guilt by association" that the Obama campaign claims to detest.

1. The very first response from the Obama campaign to his Jeremiah Wright scandal: Shoot out a picture as fast as possible to the media of Bill Clinton with Jeremiah Wright.

2. The very first response from the Obama campaign to his Bill Ayers scandal: Immediately question Bill Clinton's pardons for Bill Ayer's friends.

Thanks for this informative article. Maybe we'll get some fair and balanced coverage yet.

Great article Jake! Thank you for doing the electorate a huge favor by helping us know who Obama is and why we should or should not vote for him in November. This is what the MSM should be doing.
Now I wonder if Obama will blame his staffers for his crushing defeat in West Virginia yesterday!

While usually I'd say that this was just silly, Obama's 'management style' as he described in one of the debates does make it highly relevant. According to Obama, he has some kind of clean desk fetish -- he will read one position paper, and then a staffer has to come and take that one away and give him the next one. He can't have a pile of things he needs to read on his desk and go through them one by one...
the linearity of this process suggests tha Obama will be even more heavily reliant upon his 'overzealous' staff than an ordinary President -- and that whoever controls the paper flow into the oval office will be running the country.

Sorry, can't vote for Obama. Not enough known. Can't or won't maintain eye contact with those he is talking to (sign of deception?) Wife very angry about "mean" America. If Obama is candidate, I will not vote for President, but will vote for others on the ballot. This way a Democratic Congress will be able to control President McCain, and put this country back on track.

You obamabots are simply delusional! I fear greatly for the future of our nation.

Jonathan, I am with you. McCain should pick Hillary as VP. My husband has been saying this for months. He says both parties would then have a 50 state strategy. The Republicans would win 50 states and the Democrats would lose 50 states.

It sure would serve the Democrats right. They are no longer my party. We plan on voting a straight Republican ticket for life - which is at least 8 Presidential election cycles plus mid-term elections.

I think a boycott of the entire party would be a great idea!

We're signed on!

I do think we need leaders that say the buck stops with me and actually lead, but if we are honest, which major candidate has truly exhibited that ?

This is some unobjective clap trap. All those saying his comments are too late, take a look at his recent posts. They all seem to be fairly crtitical of Obama and very few of Clinton or McCain. Let's try and get real about this.

Obama put together a very effecient and effective campaign team while Hillary, until lately, had a chaotic campaign and strategy. CNN claimed tonight that the Clinton campaign still falls into some bad habits at times. Where is Tapper's commentary on this ?

How can Obama be blamed for Samamatha Power's comments ? That was her own mouth.

ABC has been very favorable to Hillary and put things in her or republican frames. When the elite/main stream media decided to destroy Howard Dean with the "Dean Scream", after he said we needed to look at media concentration, they played that scream over 700 times in a few days. The same group tried to count how much they did loops of Rev. Wright and they stopped counting at 3000. Some favorable media there! They took no effort to put things in context or note that 20 seconds of sound bytes compared to how many thousands of hours of sermons reflected the "more onerous" views.

They also cut off the quotes at strategic points to make them seem worse.

I want a president that is accountable. So, I appreciate the report for that if it is out of the ordinary but why is this examination limited to Obama. I can make similar examples for all the remaining candidates.

I know this, the current McCain will be a disaster for the country. His plans will continue to explode the deficit. That makes everything cost more and allows the middle east and China to buy us. He believes in wide open free trade ! So, he will be more than happy to send more jobs over seas and healthcare and other company benefits will just be too expensive.

Hmmm. . . attribute A FEW harmless human errors to your staff or blame every failing, mistake, and blunder of your political career on a "vast right wing conspiracy?" This article is silly.I bet if someone with absolutely no time on their hands tried, he could find 20 such statements from HRC, Barack Obama, John McCain, W, and every politician or CEO in America. Whats sad is that there are people out there who are looking for an excuse not to vote for this qualified BLACK man and this idiot columnist just gave them one.

I, along with many Clinton supporters (Democrats & Independents), will NEVER support Obama. We also plan to vote against any Obama superdelegate who is up for relection.
One example why: Obama stated on the stump that he has MORE foreign policy experience than Clinton or McCain because he spent his childhood in Indonesia and because he visited Pakistan during his college years. What an idiot!

He also told his supporters the night he won NC that they should not listen to statements against him. That sounded like when Jim Jones told his “flock” in Guyana before our government intervened.
Obama is a scary, leftist, clueless, messiah wannabe. I tired of hearing people being accused of being racist in the media since he started his campaign. I will not tolerate it for 4 years.

I have NEVER voted for a Republican president, I will this fall even if Hillary is Obama’s VP.
I think tonight’s WV exit polls saying that they would vote for Obama are inflated. They will go for McCain.
McCain should choose Hillary as his VP. He would win for sure! That is called “unifying the country”! Jon Stewart suggested it last week to McCain. I've been thinking about the same thing for 2 months.

Did it ever occur to this reporter that perhaps staffmember DO make mistakes and what Obama is saying is true?

How does Obama's behavior - if true - compare with one who is intentionally stoking racial fires to win at any costs when the rules she agreed to didn't work out for her ? I remember when Bill Clinton ran for President saying he wanted to represent the people who played by the rules and deserved to enjoy the American Dream. I voted to Bill twice and have no regrets compared with the choices we had. Does Hillary play by the rules? Or just in speeches ? What all of us partisans need to see in ourselves is our own hypocrisy in blindly supporting our candidates without seeing their faults. Sure Obama has faults and is hypocritical, but he is not in the same league with his opponents, particularly his Democratic rival who should know better and whose liberal philosophy demands that she not be unjust. In our country, there is no difference between any humans when it comes to their right to be treated justly - black, white, brown, yellow, male, or female. This is where Obama stands head and shoulders above Hillary Clinton and John McCain who forget their own past behaviors, beliefs, and alliances as they accuse Mr. Obama of little more than a few real and many tenuous 'associations'.

Obama has copied Bill Clinton's campaign strategy and has merged it with Karl Roves' strategy for Bush. So much for "change"... Wonder when he'll boot Kennedy out of Congress? Isn't Kennedy the "old way" Obama is gonna root out and do away with? What a hypocrit. And once again, like with Bushie, the public bandwagon is going full speed ahead - right over the cliff.

I am so done with you networks and Cable news channels that have the nerve to call yourselves journalists. You have done the american public a real disservice with what you call reporting. I have never been so disappointed, felt so shortchanged, as I do now. I hope you're enjoying your cushy life, while the rest of America is SUFFERING! Suffering and in real need of a real president and instead you are talking about Obama blaming his staff!! For crying out loud-- do you think that you're untouchable? That if McCain wins in the fall only the "little people" will be affected you're head is buried even further in the sand than it appears!!!!!
You SUCK! This article sucks! I can't believe you think this is a critical analysis of ANYTHING. I am sure this won't make it past your staff censors--talk about blaming your staff!
God, I am done reading your drivel.
Good LUCK!
