Tense Moment at the Obama-Black Caucus Meeting

CBC members shouldn't be upset with Obama because they backed the wrong horse. Nor should they be upset if they suffer primary challenges because their districts want to know from now until the end why they were too punkish to bet on hope especially when the same people were willing to back them when they were young and inexperienced in mixed districts.

I'd say get over is right. Why are they so willing to roll over for everyone but Obama is the real question?

The democratic party has taken women for granted for a long time. Just like they've taken AA voters for granted a long time. Taking voters for granted is never a good thing. Obama needs to talk to Hillary's voter, especially the women, who feel the media was sexist toward Hillary. He needs to condemn it, publically. And he needs to make nice with Hillary Now, no matter how much it pains him. The risks are great if he does not do this.

DNC good ole boys, consider yourselves warned.

Forget it! There is no healing, no going back. no chance we will ever vote for the BO nothing in a suit phony.
I will vote for the devil I know not the devil I don't know. Say no to BO!

I thought Americans are fashionable and different species but for any American to consider electing the old man (Mccain) that looks scruffy president over Obama will be madness. Well, we are waiting to have a good laugh at the Great Uncle Sam come November.

thanks len!
first, i believe what so many bho supporters forget is that there are 18 million people who wanted hillary, AND 18 million that wanted bho! not like a voter landslide.
second, bho supporters cannot seem to understand that not voting for bho is not sour grapes or pay back. it is, for many, based on the idea, as in the primary, that WE DID NOT LIKE, TRUST, OR SUPPORT BHO. PERIOD. regardless of political ideology, i do not care for the man, and cannot begin to cast a vote for him.
his supporters are just the icing on the cake.

This shows how Obama "does not get it". Even some AA women have a problem with him. How can he win older white women?

Oh we are already soooo over it.

We're voting for McCain. Done.

That was easy.

Obama's downfall is his supporters. Their eagerness to taunt, inability to keep their cool when their candidate gaffes, and the anger they explode with when confronted by his character issues is all any good debater needs to have them demonstrate their inability to lead by example.

They live to be the victims.

Just keep punching their buttons.

mich mike,

Where is that poll being conducted? The GOP website? LOL!

Obama will forever come out and tell us what the 'rules' are going to be in the election.

All in his favor of course.

Meet the 'new' politics. Its the old politics on STEROIDS.

Obama did not win by the vote of the people, he was selected by a slightly larger portion of SD's. Injustice isn't something people just "get over". He needs to stop being dismissive of the other half of Dems and now, thanks to him; former DEMS.

WOW who would of figured Obama threw the RACE CARD out to divert attention from the fact he again lied big time about leveling the playing field for all candidates to accept public financing and Obama created his own type of public financing

latest aol straw poll says it is
McCain 61% Obama 39% with over 92,000 votes cast. McCain is winning in all 50 states. Last week the straw poll ended with McCain 56% Obama 44% with over 410,000 votes cast. Very interesting

Dean said:
Obama campaign make homemade signs and pass them out at rallys!

*******

So? it's called stagecraft. You are a good little Republican, aren't you?

You all seem to miss the point. WE don't care about this BS. ISSUES, ISSUES, ISSUES!!!

They have committed suicide anyway, regardless of when they chose to proclaim Obama the nominee.

some people can't see the forest for the trees. I know you are disappointed but Obama will be better for this coutnry than any other President we have had in decades.

country,

Go vote for McCain then. Do you actually think he is honest?

They have committed suicide anyway, regardless of when they chose to proclaim Obama the nominee.

I just saw Joe Bidden on Meet the Press this Sunday and boy, he defends Obama like Obama is the Messiah or something. It's getting ridiculous. Obama is a serial liar. You cannot defend him even with a magic wand.

Lee,

Waiting until the end of August to have a Democratic Nominee would have been suicide for the Party. Letting John McCain have all Spring and Summer to run a GE, while sidelining Obama and Clinton is the very best way to lose an election.

jmc 663:

Either way, Obama still did not WIN the nomination via the DELEGATE system.

It was the SUPERDELEGATES who put him over the top, regardless of when they made up their minds, and who theoretically, are not required to actually VOTE for their candidate of choice, until the end of August.

They were just urged to voice their choice at this time by the DNC.

Obama was GIVEN the nomination after pressure was applied by the leaders of the DNC, who set arbitrary deadlines for the SUPERDELEGATES to declare for their candidate, instead of allowing them time to make up their minds on their own schedules.

FYI Lee - The super delegates had alaready made up their minds weeks or months before they declared. They only reason they waited was to let Hillary run out the clock. They could have shut it down in early May, but HRC would have screamed and cried. But she still lost.

Followers tend to be hypnotized
by leaders they cling to as
their saviors.

Candidate Clinton herself
was an unreconciled hostile
person. Though she knew she
had lost, it took her many
days to concede.

Some of her supporters are
still seething with anger
and remain perturbed.
