More blogs, more interpolation. Nobody is telling you not to support Obama, so stfu. I resent people coming on here, telling others how to vote. And the more they do it, the more I resist their urging. |

The Democratic contest is degenerating into the petty politics of race, creating the bitterness and in-fighting that is fanning the flames that will drive the party to crash and burn. The Republicans are not doing this to each other which is why they're going to end up winning the white house again while the Democrats stand around whining about stolen elections.

Dems always shoot themselves in the foot.
The GOP will use all this bitter rhetoric being spewed now against whomever is the DEM nominee.
Say hello to President Romney or President McCain |

I think people think if they have to think, or make a decision on their own, they can't. So, they rely on others.
Initially, I read and heard all this talk about Bill calling Obama's run for president, a fairy tale. Hearing him explain exactly what he said and meant, something seemed amiss. After reading and hearing the original comment, I have no idea they got that notion from the comments he made.
I then realized they never heard the entire comment, just heard a line or two, which gives a different context and meaning, or they were going on what someone else said, of which included Obama's campaign. It also seemed anything that might remotely be heard or implied racially, people jumped on it and other just totally took his words and applied their own meaning, as if give themselves another reason to not support Hillary. If you didn't support her two weeks ago, then you really need another reason to not support now?
I searched and found the video clip of his comment:
http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4102345
And, here are the words:
"But since you raised the judgment issue, let’s go over this again. That is the central argument for his campaign. ‘It doesn’t matter that I started running for president less a year after I got to the Senate from the Illinois State Senate. I am a great speaker and a charismatic figure and I’m the only one who had the judgment to oppose this war from the beginning. Always, always, always.’” …
“First it is factually not true that everybody that supported that resolution supported Bush attacking Iraq before the UN inspectors were through. Chuck Hagel was one of the co-authors of that resolution. The only Republican Senator that always opposed the war. Every day from the get-go. He authored the resolution to say that Bush could go to war only if they didn’t co-operate with the inspectors and he was assured personally by Condi Rice as many of the other Senators were. So, first the case is wrong that way.” …
“Second, it is wrong that Senator Obama got to go through 15 debates trumpeting his superior judgment and how he had been against the war in every year, numerating the years, and never got asked one time, not once, ‘Well, how could you say, that when you said in 2004 you didn’t know how you would have voted on the resolution? You said in 2004 there was no difference between you and George Bush on the war and you took that speech you’re now running on off your website in 2004 and there’s no difference in your voting record and Hillary’s ever since?’ Give me a break."
If you search the net, you'll find that Obama has been playing both sides of the fence, but then why address that, when you put out the your opponent is "playing the race". Obama said in the NY Times that he didn't know how he would vote if he had too, and he also said his position (on paper) was no different from Bush's. He also took the speech off this site, because he said the info was dated. And, yes their voting records are very similiar. But, I doubt seriously, that people are going to research and make judgements for themselves, they're just rely on media sound bites, pundits and blogs. Go figure.

Obama is bringing up race only because he can't answer the questions take the criticism or handle the truth.
*Sigh*
What a disgrace.
He should just deal with it and move on, and stop using racism as an excuse…especially since his charges are clearly not true.
Or maybe he should go back to where he was just LAST WEEK. ......What ever happened to transcending (his) race…???
