!My Holiday With John McCain!

Fatirah from Philly — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:02:12 EDT

MY HOLIDAY WITH JOHN McCAIN It was just before John McCain's last run at the presidential nomination in 2000 that my husband and I vacationed in Turtle Island in Fiji with John McCain, Cindy, and their children, including Bridget (their adopted Bangladeshi child).
   It was not our intention, but it was our misfortune to be in close quarters with John McCain for almost a week, since Turtle Island has a small number of bungalows and their focus on communal meals force all vacationers who are there at the same time to get to know each other intimately.
He arrived at our first group meal and started reading quotes from a pile of William Faulkner books with a forest of Post-Its sticking out of them. As an English Literature major myself, my first thought was "if he likes this so much, why hasn't he memorized any of this yet?" I soon realized that McCain actually thought we had come on vacation to be a volunteer audience for his "readings" which then became a regular part of each meal. Out of politeness, none of the vacationers initially protested at this intrusion into their blissful holiday, but people's buttons definitely got pushed as the readings continued day after day.
   Unfortunately this was not his only contribution to our mealtime entertainment. He waxed on during one meal about how Indo-Chine women had the best figures and that our American corn-fed women just couldn't meet up to this standard. He also made it a point that all of us should stop Cindy from having dessert as her weight was too high and made a few comments to Amy, the 25 year old wife of the honeymooning couple from Nebraska that she should eat less as she needed to lose weight.
McCain's appreciation of the beauty of Asian women was so great that David the American economist had to move his Thai wife to the other side of the table from McCain as McCain kept aggressively flirting with and touching her.
   Needless to say I was irritated at his large ego and his rude behavior towards his wife and other women, but decided he must have some redeeming qualities as he had adopted a handicapped child from Bangladesh. I asked him about this one day, and his response was shocking: "Oh, that was Cindy's idea – I didn't have anything to do with it. She just went and adopted this thing without even asking me. You can't imagine how people stare when I wheel this ugly, black thing around in a shopping cart in Arizona . No, it wasn't my idea at all."
   I actively avoided McCain after that, but unfortunately one day he engaged me in a political discussion which soon got us on the topic of the active US bombing of Iraq at that time. I was shocked when he said, "If I was in charge, I would nuke Iraq to teach them a lesson". Given McCain's personal experience with the horrors of war, I had expected a more balanced point of view. I commented on the tragic consequences of the nuclear attacks on Japan during WWII –- but no, he was not to be dissuaded. He went on to say that if it was up to him he would have dropped many more nuclear bombs on Japan. I rapidly extricated myself from this conversation as I could tell that his experience being tortured as a POW didn't seem to have mellowed out his perspective, but rather had made him more aggressive and vengeful towards the world.
   My final encounter with McCain was on the morning that he was leaving Turtle Island. Amy and I were happily eating pancakes when McCain arrived and told Amy that she shouldn't be having pancakes because she needed to lose weight. Amy burst into tears at this abusive comment. I felt fiercely protective of Amy and immediately turned to McCain and told him to leave her alone. He became very angry and abusive towards me, and said, "Don't you know who I am." I looked him in the face and said, "Yes, you are the biggest asshole I have ever met" and headed back to my cabin. I am happy to say that later that day when I arrived at lunch I was given a standing ovation by all the guests for having stood up to McCain's bullying.
   Although I have shared my McCain story informally with friends, this is the first time I am making this public. I almost did so in 2000, when McCain first announced his bid for the Republican nomination, but it soon became apparent that George Bush was the shoo-in candidate and so I did not act then. However, now that there is a very real possibility that McCain could be elected as our next president, I feel it is my duty as an American citizen to share this story. I can't imagine a more scary outcome for America than that this abusive, aggressive man should lead our nation. I have observed him in intimate surroundings as he really is, not how the media portrays him to be. If his attitudes toward women and his treatment of his own family are even a small indicator of his real personality, then I shudder to think what will happen to America were he to be elected as our President.

Let Me Get This Straight!

Fatirah from Philly — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 06:56:28 EDT

Monday, September 15, 2008 3:13 PM Let me see if I have this straight.....

I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....

* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're
"exotic, different."

* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American
story.

* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

* Name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

*Graduate from Harvard Law School and you are unstable.

* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well
grounded.

* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the
first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter
registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as
a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator
representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of
the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years
in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people
while sponsoring 131
bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works
and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership
experi
ence.

* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city
council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people,
20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then
you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking
executive and next in line behind a man in his eighth decade.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising
2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a
real Christian.

* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and then left
your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a
true Christian.

* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including
the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no
other option in sex education in your state's school system, while your
unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate laywer who gave up a position in a
prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city
community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values
don't represent America 's.

* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI
conviction and no col
lege education, who didn't register to vote until
age 25, and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession
of Alaska from the USA , your family is extremely admirable.

OK, much clearer now.!!!!!

Alaskans Speak (In A Frightened Whisper): Palin Is “Racist, Sexist, Vindictive, And Mean”

Mayor Palin Proposed Banning Library Books

Fatirah from Philly — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 12:08:31 EDT

By Rindi White
McClatchy Newspapers

Posted: Saturday, Sep. 06, 2008

WASILLA, Alaska In 1996, when she became mayor, Sarah Palin asked the Wasilla librarian if she would be OK censoring library books should she be asked to do so.
According to news coverage at the time, the librarian said she definitely would not be all right with it. A few months later, the librarian, Mary Ellen Emmons, received a letter from Palin telling her she was going to be fired. The censorship issue was not mentioned as a reason. The letter just said the new mayor thought Emmons didn't fully support her and had to go.
Emmons had been city librarian for seven years and was well liked. After a wave of public support for her, Palin relented and let Emmons keep her job.
The 12-year-old issue has returned to dog Palin, who is under intense national scrutiny. It has been mentioned in news stories in Time magazine and The New York Times and is spreading across the blogosphere.
In December 1996, Emmons told her hometown newspaper, the Frontiersman, that Palin three times asked her about possibly removing objectionable books from the library if the need arose.
Emmons said she refused to consider any kind of censorship. Emmons, now Mary Ellen Baker, is on vacation from her current job in Fairbanks and did not return messages left for her Wednesday.
When the matter came up again in October 1996, during a City Council meeting, Anne Kilkenny, a Wasilla resident who often attends council meetings, was there.
"Sarah said to Mary Ellen, 'What would your response be if I asked you to remove some books from the collection?'" Kilkenny said.
"I was shocked. Mary Ellen sat up straight and said something along the line of, 'The books in the Wasilla Library collection were selected on the basis of national selection criteria for libraries of this size, and I would absolutely resist all efforts to ban books.'"
Palin didn't mention specific books at that meeting, Kilkenny said.
Palin herself, questioned at the time, called her inquiries rhetorical and simply part of a policy discussion with a department head "about understanding and following administration agendas," according to the Frontiersman article.
Were any books censored? June Pinell-Stephens, chairwoman of the Alaska Library Association's Intellectual Freedom Committee since 1984, checked her files Wednesday and came up empty-handed.
Emmons received a letter from Palin asking for her resignation. Similar letters went to police Chief Irl Stambaugh, public works director Jack Felton and finance director Duane Dvorak. John Cooper, a fifth director, resigned after Palin eliminated his job overseeing the city museum.
Palin told the Anchorage Daily News then that the letters were just a test of loyalty as she took on the mayor's job, which she'd won from three-term mayor John Stein in a hard-fought election. Stein had hired many of the department heads. Both Emmons and Stambaugh had publicly supported him against Palin.
Emmons resigned in August 1999, two months before Palin was voted in for a second term

!I WILL Say This About Trolls Though! (repost)

Fatirah from Philly — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 12:11:39 EDT

Their unimaginative posts really make me appreciate the work of posters like kids5rivers2, KIMI, Steve Peters, jfk fan (who I miss much), and many, many other true Obama supporters. Their work and words show creativity and depth of feeling, as opposed to the trolls, who are basically licking up and spewing out the vomit of others; much as any dog would do.

It's pathetic that they think their crudely altered cartoons and smear work makes any impression. I can imagine them hunched over their computers, slobbering, grunting and scratching themselves; thinking that what they've done is unique.

Pitiful.

I don't post much after being warned by administration for my comments to a troll, but I do come to the blog every day. It's sad to see it being taken over by McSame hacks posing as 'disillusioned, one-topic (FISA) former Obama supporters', and/or the absolute trolls. Or the ones who claim to be 'sitting on the fence'! Those need to just skewer themselves and do us all a favor, because there is no 'fence' to be sitting on.

The choice between Barack and McSame is really no choice; to vote for McSame is to sell ourselves into slavery and 8 more years of worse than Bush, if you can imagine that. I still believe in Barack Obama with all my heart, and just cannot understand those who even seriously consider voting for McBush or anyone else at this point in our history on the planet.

If we vote Republican, we may not have any more history on this planet.

...But oh how sweet it would've been on that Tuesday night...........

Dear Fatirah,

A few hours from now I will step on stage in Detroit, Michigan to announce my support for Senator Barack Obama. From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected President of the United States.

Over the next four years, we are going to face many difficult challenges -- including bringing our troops home from Iraq, fixing our economy, and solving the climate crisis. Barack Obama is clearly the candidate best able to solve these problems and bring change to America.

This moment and this election are too important to let pass without taking action.

That's why I am asking you to join me in showing your support by making a contribution to this campaign today:

https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/gore?source=20080616_D1_L1

Over the past 18 months, Barack Obama has united a movement. He knows change does not come from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or Capitol Hill. It begins when people stand up and take action.

With the help of millions of supporters like you, Barack Obama will bring the change we so desperately need in order to solve our country's most pressing problems.

If you've already contributed to this campaign, I ask that you consider making another contribution right now. If you haven't, please take the next step and own a piece of this campaign today:

https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/gore?source=20080616_D1_L2

On the issues that matter most, Barack Obama is clearly the right choice to lead our nation.

We have a lot of work to do in the next few months to elect Barack Obama president, and it begins by making a contribution to this campaign today.

Thank you for joining me,

Al Gore

Mofaz: Israel will attack Iran
Fri, 06 Jun 2008 11:53:00

An Israeli deputy prime minister has claimed that the Israeli regime will attack Iran if the country continues its nuclear program.

"If Iran continues its nuclear weapons program, we will attack it," claimed Shaoul Mofaz.

"Other options are disappearing. The sanctions are not effective. There will be no alternative but to attack Iran in order to stop the Iranian nuclear program," Mofaz, also a transportation minister, told the Yediot Aharonot daily.

Mofaz, a former Israeli war minister, stressed that a military operation against Iran would be carried out with the support of the United States.

The remarks were made while there are speculations that the US might wage another war in the region in the twilight months of George W. Bush in office.

Israel, widely believed to be the sole possessor of 200 to 400 nuclear warheads in the Middle East, and its ally the US, accuse Iran of pursuing nuclear weaponry and encourages its allies to wage a war against the country.

Tehran insists that its nuclear program is peaceful and as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty is entitled to enrich uranium for civilian purposes.

How the CIA flooded Black Communities with drugs.

By Douchie from Beverly Hills, CA - Jun 9th, 2008 at 7:16 pm EDTIn the book, "Smoke em' if you got em" by Anthony Nicolini, he discusses secret meetings with the 5 heads of the CIA regarding the drug trade, these meetings were held as far back as 1950.The clandestine meetings were headed by Emilio Barzini and Phillip Tattaglia and disclosed that the CIA will ship drugs into New York via the waterfront controled by CIA opertive Virgil Sollozo. It was disclosed that the drugs will only be sold in the "colored" communities, and that it will not be sold to children or near schools. Victor Stracci indicated in the publication that, "Sell it in the colored neighbohood, they have no souls"George Bush allowed this to go on long after the 5 heads of the CIA were disbanded.

Sure is. Them parents better be teaching them kids about the dangers of drugs.....

Excuse Me, But... | Report to Admin

By Fatirah from Philly 23 minutes ago

.... those lines came from the 'Godfather' movie. The Barzina and Tartaglia families were among those that Michael Corleone wiped out. Sollozo was also killed by Michael Corleone in the restaurant along with the crooked cop who had set up Don Corleone. That's why he had to leave the country for awhile, remember?

The line, 'sell it to the colored's, they have no souls anyway', was spoken by the patriarch of the family, Don Corleone when the other families were trying to get him to join in the drug trade and consolidate the five families.

I think you are mixing fantasy with reality.

Did John McCain divorce his first wife Carol?In: Political Office Holders

Short answer...Yes, John McCain divorced his first wife. He evidently cheated on her numerous times after he came home from Vietnam. She had been in a horrible car accident while he was in Vietnam and was disfigured. He filed for a divorce after he met his current wife who was a much younger (17 years) woman and heiress to the 3rd largest Anheiser-Busch distributor in the US.

Great Speech Barack Obama!

He just spoke on CNN in NC. The lady who introduced him said that she was a former Republican who couldn't take what they were doing anymore. (paraphrasing)

I loved what he said about SS being fixed. Also he proposes another stimulus incentive.

Obama: 'Whitey' Video Rumor is CrapBy David Knowles
Jun 6th 2008 7:27AM

Filed Under:eDemocrats, Barack Obama, Featured Stories, Media

You may have seen the link floating around in our comment section. It leads you to one of many a breathless story, or perhaps a Fox News video clip, where the urgent topic is when we'll be seeing the YouTube file showing Michelle Obama on-stage with Louis Farrakhan lambasting Caucasian America with the term "whitey."

The story goes that tape has been kept under wraps, out of view, for use as the ultimate October surprise, sure to kill Barack's chances faster than Hillary Clinton can say "I told you so." The problem? As with so many slurs against Obama, there's no there there. There is no tape. From Politico:

Sen. Barack Obama on Thursday batted down rumors circulating on the Internet and mentioned on some cable news shows of the existence of a video of his wife using a derogatory term for white people, and criticized a reporter for asking him about the rumor, which has not a shred of evidence to support it.

"We have seen this before. There is dirt and lies that are circulated in e-mails and they pump them out long enough until finally you, a mainstream reporter, asks me about it," Obama said to the McClatchy reporter during a press conference aboard his campaign plane. "That gives legs to the story. If somebody has evidence that myself or Michelle or anybody has said something inappropriate, let them do it."

For the full history of this latest smear, started by a blogger named Larry Johnson, you can go to David Weigel's piece here. Unfortunately, this is part of Obama's task in this election. Calmly shoot down each scurrilous rumor one at a time. Here's a handy comeback that you might e-mail to help address a few of the other misconceptions and slander still floating around:

She is still insinuating herself into every aspect of his campaign and celebration.

I wrote this post before and it was taken off. Victoria de Paul had commented on it so I know I'm not crazy. Someone had also commented on Sebelius for VP in that post and I agreed with them, as well as suggesting Pelosi and Edwards. I will copy this in word before I try to post it this time, and advise anyone else whose posts disappear to do the same.

My point was that the folks in places where Billary won big, like Kentucky, have mindsets that will not be swayed one iota by adding her to the ticket. They would vote for McSame before they would vote for a Black man. That's just how it is.

The women who feel their identity is somehow tied up with HER's, will, once they've cooled off, realized how they've been manipulated and how she's used and abused the privelege and they will vote for Barack Obama.

There are some people who would not vote for Barack Obama if Christ Himself came down here and told them to do so., and offering her the spot to try and win votes that you will never ever get is not a good idea.

!*BAH!!! HUMBUG!!

Fatirah from Philly — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:12:02 EDT

Expecting Billary Clinton to do the right thing is akin to jumping into an ocean of sharks and expecting not to be bitten!

Don't trust her for a minute; look at her record of past behavior.

She has behaved execrably; and yet at every turn, she's tried to switch the blame to Obama.

She's ruminated about his assassination; She's aligned with McSame in saying they (her and McSame), would make a better president than Barack Obama, a fellow Democrat!

I hope and pray that he wins the nomination, but if he takes her for VP, I would be worried about his safety and life every minute of his administration.

You CAN Tell Barack How You Feel!!!

BUT!!

I will not know which way to turn if it's true that he takes her on as his vp choice. I know for a true fact that I cannot pull a lever with her name anywhere near it.

What to do? Independent? Just not vote? I have ALWAYS voted, albeit a lot of times without much enthusiasm.

I can't just NOT vote!

But I also can't, won't, will not, vote for HER!

Clinton Aims for Obama's Superdelegates

osted: Monday 06/02/08 10:56 AM EDT Filed Under:

AFP / Getty Images

A day after claiming victory in Puerto Rico's primary, Hillary Rodham Clinton tries to peel away superdelegates who have already committed to backing Barack Obama. With Obama close to clinching the nomination, Clinton argues she will lead her rival in the overall popular vote.

Why In The Name of All That's Good Should He?

Fatirah from Philly — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 12:43:32 EDT

Why SHOULD Barack put that woman on the ticket? All the pushing that 'she will get those he can't', ie, 'white working class, I guess', is just so much talk. Because those who are for the Democrats will vote for him when he is the nominee if they are serious. If they are so racist that they will forfeit a democratic win, I just don't know what to say about them!?!

Plus, any good that she could do would be out-weighed by her constant daggers in the back, trying to usurp the Presidency, planning his demise, worrying about what Bill is doing in the back room and with who, and general undermining of Barack Obama.

She would not have changed from the terrible things she's said and done and I wouldn't trust her any farther than I could stretch those pantsuits.

Vilsack says it's overPosted: 09:54 AM ET
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
Vilsack is a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton.

(CNN) – Former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, one of Hillary Clinton's most ardent supporters, said Sunday it's time for Hillary Clinton to acknowledge she has lost her bid for the Democratic nomination.

Vilsack, who was briefly a presidential candidate himself last year, told the Associated Press it's "pretty clear that Senator Obama is going to be the nominee."

"After Tuesday's contests, she needs to acknowledge that he's going to be the nominee and quickly get behind him," Vilsack also said.

Vilsack first announced he was running for president in November, 2006, but dropped his bid three months later after the Democrat failed to drum up a significant level of support or raise the necessary campaign funds needed to compete. He endorsed Clinton shortly after and played a key role in the New York senator's unsuccessful Iowa campaign effort.

His comments came the same day the Clinton showed signs she plans to press on after Tuesday's contests — continuing argue she has won the popular vote and that the party's superdelegates are able to switch their allegiances before the convention in August.

Nevertheless, I have expressed my disgust to others and feel that it is only fair to send it to the perpetrator(s) as well. We well know that Fox News is supporting Hillary Clinton. It is evident to all. However for Liz Trotta to mime the statements of Hillary Clinton regarding RFK, and take it further with comments about possible assassination attempts on Barack Obama is past revolting. I, of course, do not equate Fox News or Ms Trotta with anything resembling responsible journalism, but this is a bit much, even for them. I and others will certainly seek other ways, including contact with FOX sponsors regarding this tasteless and potentially dangerous exchange, unless there is an apology that is just as well publicized as those incredible remarks were.

I've never donated any of my hard earned cash to a political campaign before. I have been so jaded by the b.s. of politics that I just really didn't care. My attitude was 'They will do what they will do with or without me'.

Never even cared enough to write a letter, make a call, or get involved in any way.

This is so different! My donations are hardly large, but for me, it's a lot. My time is even more valuable, but I'm willing to use it however I can for Barack Obama!

I know he has inspired many of you the same way.

Hillary Baggage Too Much for Obama

Hillary Baggage Too Much for ObamaTuesday, May 27, 2008 8:02 AM

By: Dick Morris & Eileen McGann

There is a growing effort by the Clintons — led by Bill — to convey a sense of entitlement for Hillary's newly minted vice presidential ambitions. The theory seems to say that she has earned the designation by her strong showing in primaries throughout the nation, particularly by her recent victories in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Indiana.

Her supporters are demanding a place on the ticket as their right after a bruising primary season.

But ever since Aaron Burr rose from a vice presidential candidacy to contest Thomas Jefferson for the presidency in the House of Representatives, the person who came in second in the balloting for president lost his entitlement to anything.

There are no more rewards for second place. No silver medals in the presidential race.

A less arrogant argument from the Clintonistas is that Hillary's presence on the ticket is vital to its chances for success in November. Noting that a Democrat must carry the very states she has won, the theory is that a VP slot for Hillary would make Obama so much more attractive to these voters that his election would be inevitable. (Disregard that Obama carried some states that would look nice in the Democratic column as well like Illinois, North Carolina, Washington State, Missouri, Connecticut, and Wisconsin.)

But Hillary won these later primaries largely because the poison spewed by Rev. Jeremiah Wright led racially fearful voters to turn on Obama and find peril in his associations. Will Hillary running for vice president make Obama any whiter? Or Wright less offensive?

Let's not mistake racial fear of Obama for personal popularity for Hillary. Most of the blue-collar working class whites who backed Hillary Clinton, particularly the men, can't stand her.

Faced with a choice between race and gender, they decided to hold to their fear of the former and overlook their unease at the latter. One wonders if all these police officers and firefighters and construction workers would actually vote for Hillary against McCain were she the nominee. Wouldn't these Reagan Democrats continue their lifelong exodus from the Democratic Party and back the Republican instead?

In any case, it is a far fetched hope that Hillary's presence on the ticket would so ease their fears that they would back Obama in November.

Hillary Clinton will not help Obama win a single vote.

The feminists who supported her will all vote Democratic with the fear of McCain's likely judicial appointments uppermost in their minds. They are party regulars whose support for Obama would be automatic and axiomatic. Those more recent converts to Hillary, driven by fear of a black candidate with a nutty preacher, are not going to be assuaged by Hillary's presence on the ticket.

Bringing them into the Democratic Party fold is Obama's problems and must be his highest priority. He cannot subcontract the job to Hillary.

And Hillary comes with unique baggage all her own. Her very presence on the ticket makes all of the unanswered questions about Bill Clinton to the fore. They suddenly become relevant and answers become imperative.

1. What did Bill Clinton do for the $15 million he was paid by the emir of Dubai?

2. What did he do for the Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra, who he brought with him to Kazakhstan and introduced to its president after Giustra gave his foundation, which he controls, $100 million?

3. What did he do for InfoUSA, the direct mail list company that sold lists of vulnerable elderly people to criminally convicted telemarketers so they could scam them?

4. Did Bill Clinton know that Hillary's brothers were being paid to secure some of the pardons he granted on their recommendations?

Obama doesn't need this kind of trouble. Bringing Hillary on the ticket brings Bill with her, these days a loose cannon at best, a self-destructive narcissist at worst.

The Implausible Suicide Of Vincent Foster, or 'Yes Virginia, These Things DO Happen!'

Fatirah from Philly — Tue, 27 May 2008 09:16:47 EDT

The Foster autopsy report and descriptions of the placement of the gun and wound path from the official record allow a reconstruction of the trajectory of the bullet which is supposed to have passed through Foster's head. The resulting trajectory is impossible, as it would have required Foster to open his mouth significantly more than is physically possible to accommodate the gun.

This impossible trajectory shows that the Foster autopsy cannot be trusted.

Threats from the Clinton camp that Obama will lose without Billary on the ticket are just clutching at straws.

He has come this far; and against all odds. In spite of her horribly run campaign, her constant injection of race into the campaign, and despite the fact that he handles her with kid gloves.

YOU DON'T NEED HER BARACK!

Obama Excuses Clinton's RFK RemarkBy JEFF MASON,ReutersPosted: 2008-05-24 22:36:15Filed Under: Elections News, Hillary ClintonBAYAMON, Puerto Rico (May 24) - Democratic White House candidates made rare campaign stops in Puerto Rico on Saturday as Hillary Clinton's uphill challenge to secure the nomination was made even harder by controversy over her references to the 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy.

During a one-day stop on the largely Spanish-speaking island, front-runner Barack Obama talked about veterans issues and his Republican rival Sen. John McCain before going on a parade-style walk through San Juan.

In his campaign events Obama made no mention of Clinton's remarks from Friday when she cited the June 1968 assassination of presidential candidate Robert Kennedy to help explain why she was still in the race for the party's nomination to contest McCain in the November election.

"My husband (Bill Clinton) did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California," she told a South Dakota newspaper's editorial board.

Clinton's comments drew a quick rebuke on Friday from Obama's campaign and she apologized.

Kennedy, brother of slain U.S. President John F. Kennedy and Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, was assassinated in Los Angeles just after winning the California Democratic primary.

Obama, who has a nearly insurmountable lead in delegates, told a Puerto Rican radio station on Saturday he did not think Clinton intended any offense by her comments.

"I have learned that when you are campaigning for as many months as Senator Clinton and I have been campaigning, sometimes you get careless in terms of the statements that you make and I think that is what happened here," he said in an interview with Radio Isla Puerto Rico.

Denver Post ColumnistArticle Last Updated: 05/20/2008 11:33:03 PM MDT

In a presidential campaign where we have gauged candidates based on the color of their pantsuits, the health of their skin and the ability to throw a bowling ball, one critical test has been overlooked.

I am, of course, talking about how their astrological charts stack up.

Lucky for us, the United Astrology Conference was in Denver this week, with 1,500 devotees from 44 countries. On Tuesday, seven top forecasters took the stage in the downtown Sheraton and made like television political pundits, minus the screaming.

I'll cut to the chase: Six panelists predicted the election will go to Barack Obama, thanks to a Saturn-Jupiter conjunction spelling change. The seventh, Shelley Ackerman, saw an Obama win, but worried about Neptune doing something funky in January, endangering his chances of actually taking office. Her colleagues agreed the stars did look dicey in this respect.

Panelist Sandra-Leigh Serio ran it down for me.

"Obama's chart and the United States' chart are very much alike," she said. "From an astrological standpoint, he's a man of destiny. (John) McCain also has a strong connection to the U.S. chart."

Hillary Clinton? Eh, not so much, apparently. "There's a little more confusion with her and the U.S. chart," Serio said.

Me, I'm not into astrology. I'll occasionally scan my horoscope, but only if it shows up on the same newspaper page as the crossword puzzle I'm working. The advice is always beyond generic. "Today's a bad day to antagonize your boss/spouse/Doberman."

One breathless woman came up and asked how I felt about Mercury in August. I told her I was generally a Ford man, but given that I was in the market for a new car this fall, would keep an open mind.

So the general star-chart enthusiasm was lost on me.

Still, the panelists were impressive. They sounded like astronomy majors who had paid attention in poli-sci class.

Before announcing their predictions, panelists discussed how they did their charts. There was some distress about the methodology in this election year.

"We don't have a single solid birth chart," panelist Robert Hand told the crowd. "If those dates are wrong, everything I say is garbage."

And Serio said the panel was "doing this in the shadows of Mercury and Neptune — this might not have any validity at all in a few months."

I didn't quite know what that meant, but gave her points for hedging her bets as deftly as any CNN analyst.

Hand ominously noted there would be an eclipse of the sun in August, with Mercury ascending for George W. Bush. The crowd gasped. This seemed to portend election-day shenanigans.

Gloria Star noted that Clinton has looming problems with Neptune. While signs indicate she will be gone from the scene on Election Day, other signs "indicate she's fighting somewhere."

"Probably in her kitchen," a woman behind me said.

Don't tell me astrologers lack a sense of humor.

For the record, McCain is a Virgo, Obama is a Leo and Clinton is a Scorpio.

"Leos and Scorpios are historically at odds," Serio told me. She nodded knowingly. "Bill Clinton's a Leo."

So there it is, courtesy of our top astrologers: Obama wins, probably.

Hey, have we heard anything better from the pundits?

Hi, below is a post , and it explains what happened to Ja King and why JFK fan is leaving. I don't know how you all feel about that, but as the saying goes, 'what diminishes me, diminishes you'. Being a 'newbie' I know I don't have much say. I enjoy coming here as a place to share with others who want Barack Obama as our next president. I read almost all the posts and have made a few. I know they haven't been politically significant, just appreciation for the site and posters and my feelings about Obama and Billary. I am always happy to be someones' friend.The nastiness that has been on here the past couple days is kind of startling.I think that we can write enmasse to the powers that be of this blog and demand that Ja-King be reinstated with an apology. We can do it!I know everyone is excited about the turnout in Oregon yesterday and the upcoming primaries tomorrow, and rightly so. But, if we can just take a couple minutes and do this, it will make us stronger and show the trolls that they 'ain't got no win' over here.What say you?

The thing is with me is that in real life I am a free spirit,when everyone goes left I go right, when everyone comes right I go left..I see and feel a spirit of meanness in here and jealously and resentment..there are point scammers, there are friends joiners, there are quite frankly some people in here that think they know what a campaign is about, and just mouth off, let me tell you that I thank all of you for reading my stupid side show act, you are great people, however, I really think there is a problem here when someone that worked day and nigh on a project gets arbitrarily booted out of here.. I am done in here..and what I cannot stand is the in humane treatment this guy got for working all those hours ..Thanks for this post JFK FAN...I suggest all of you call hq an get him back on here restored...I do not stand for crap like this, the guy on the bottom is a name and number but JA king was a human being to me and others

I thought that this blog was for Barack Obama supporters, and that to blog here, you must donate. The reason I thought that was because when I first started, it was after I had made a donation and was then directed to the site.

I don't think people like Lorenzo and those who are Billary supporters would donate money to Obamas' campaign just in order to post so negatively.

Maybe they would though. Hatred is a terribly motivating emotion.

Edwards Say 'No' to Running w/Obama

Fatirah from Philly — Fri, 16 May 2008 11:43:55 EDT

Edwards flatly rules out running with ObamaPosted: 11:12 AM ET
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
An Obama-Edwards ticket 'wont' happen.'

(CNN) — Seeing John Edwards and Barack Obama on the same stage earlier this week left political pundits buzzing: Could these two be an unbeatable presidential ticket?

They appeared to have natural chemistry — something Edwards and then-Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry seemed to lack in 2004 — and the former North Carolina senator remains popular among a key demographic that has been reluctant to support Obama — working class white voters.

But Edwards flatly said Friday, as he had before he endorsed a candidate, that he's not interested in making a second run for vice president.

"No," Edwards said in no uncertain terms on NBC's the Today show when asked about the possibility. "Won't happen.…It's just not something I am interested in."

As for another position in an Obama administration, specifically Attorney General, Edwards was decidedly more coy.

"I don't really want to get involved in that speculation," he said. "Right now we have to focus on getting Barack Obama elected to President of the United States, then we’ll worry about those things."

Edwards formally endorsed Obama Wednesday evening, the day after Clinton scored a 41 point victory over the Illinois senator in West Virginia. Edwards also said Friday the timing of his announcement was not specifically designed by the Obama campaign to direct the media coverage away from the New York senator's win.

"That's not true," he said. "I know it's not true because I am the one who made the decision about when to do this. I believe this was the right time to do it. I made a decision that the public should know at this point my view."

Never Mind, It's the Trolls Again.

So she tries to damage Obama as much as possible in order to boost McCain.

Then she is all set to run against Obama in 2013?

'Hillary Digs for Dirt on Obama' Please Don't Be So Sure!

Fatirah from Philly — Mon, 12 May 2008 12:41:31 EDT

Please let us not be so sure of the nomination and we must keep doing whatever it is that we are doing to help Barack! This woman is too sure of herself and that's my bad feeling; I can't help it! I don't mean to be negative; just realistic!***************** Newsmax.com
Bernstein: Hillary Digs for Dirt on ObamaMonday, May 12, 2008 9:53 AM

By: Newsmax Staff

With Barack Obama having the Democratic presidential nomination all but wrapped up, Hillary Clinton backers are hoping that a devastating revelation about Obama could derail his candidacy — and they’re desperately seeking to find it.

That’s the inside story from veteran newsman Carl Bernstein, who writes in his CNN column:

“The Clinton campaign’s search for damaging information and its hope that such information exists continues, according to knowledgeable sources.”

Top Clinton adviser Harold Ickes warned on the eve of the North Carolina and Indian primaries that Obama could be vulnerable to an “October surprise” by the John McCain campaign, notes Bernstein, whose latest book is “A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton.”

He adds: “Several Clinton associates say there is still a ray of hope among some in her campaign that a ‘catastrophic’ revelation about Obama might make it possible for her to win the presidential nomination.”

But there is also a strong chance that Clinton will try to maneuver her way into the vice presidential slot on the Obama ticket, according to Bernstein, even though Obama “won’t want to take her on the ticket.”

NOW, THAT TAKES CHUTZPAH!!

I think I spelled that wrong, but what I mean is this;

I read somewhere that Bill Clinton will get $12 million for his memoirs.

Hillary got $8 million for hers.

What's so remarkable is that these multi million memoirs are from two folks who testified time after time that they couldn't remember anything!?!?

Sheesh!!

Nostalgia, A Blast From the Past

Fatirah from Philly — Sun, 11 May 2008 15:28:32 EDT

Just listening to some old time radio (one of my hobbies :), and they're playing political ads from the past. Humphrey Bogart, Talullah Bankhead, Claudette Colbert, Linda Darnell, Paulette Goddard, Susan Hayward, Groucho Marx, Edward G. Robinson and others speaking out for Roosevelt, and against Dewey. One person campaigning for Roosevelt is Jane Wyman, first wife of President Reagan.

A soldier who had been disabled in New Caldonia (Yes McHale, it's a real place:). That soldier was urging folks to vote for Roosevelt because Dewey had denied ballots to the soldiers away on the battlefront.

Saying FDR had protected the workers against unfair hours, and that he was for the working man.

Bogart comes in to say that 'If we want a better world', vote for Roosevelt. That sure sounds familiar, right?

I'm actually painting the upstairs woodwork, listening to the radio, have the television on (Manchurian Candidate, Denzel version) and had to write this 'cause the more things change the more they stay the same.

SPAM

Fatirah from Philly — Sun, 11 May 2008 07:58:26 EDT

If we all report SPAM to the admins, maybe they (spammers), will stop wasting our valuable space. I'm sure it's a turn-off to folks who come here; maybe for the first time and see two or three pages of the exact same post. They probably don't want to bother to keep going back to read a real message.

Can You Help Me?

Fatirah from Philly — Fri, 09 May 2008 12:11:01 EDT

Not sure if this is the correct way? I am really new to blogging and yesterday I finally set up for donations for Barack! (I am so excited!) Previously, I had donated but I didn't have that page so it just doesn't show. **curses***

I have even accepted to be friends from posters but it doesn't show as a friend for me? I have no friends.

Anyhow now I am on the right track, and if you are so inclined, please help me reach my own fundraising goal! It's $300 which I know is modest, but if I can do that it wil be good. :)

Thank you!

What Does Billary Know That We Don't?

Fatirah from Philly — Fri, 09 May 2008 07:46:28 EDT

Good morning Obama folks. It is really bothering me that Billary won't get out. I am thinking she is preparing to try and wallop Obama with something. I know there is nothing she will not do to win.

Also, If Barack Obama had said anything about having a better chance with blacks, it would be all over the msm, he would need to come out and give another placating speech! But Billary says this crap and just gets away with it!

I also think that the Politico.com report that Barack Obama plans to declare victory in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination on May 20. is a setup!

I am one worried person!!! Maybe a trifle paranoid?

Don't do it, Barack Obama! She will be disastrous. You have many better to choose from!

Let her go on her (un) merry way!

Barack Obama was so great on C-Span, I am sooooo happy I stayed up to watch! The crowd was with him, we are with him, the people of America are with him, and most importantly, the Good Lord is with him!

YES WE WILL!!

LIE CLOCK

Fatirah from Philly — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:41:24 EDT

A man died and went to Heaven. As he stood in front of the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks?"

St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie, the hands on your clock move."

"Oh," said the man. Whose clock is that?" "That's Mother Teresa's," replied St. Peter. "The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie."

"Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?" St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abraham told only two lies in his entire life."

"Where's Hillary's clock?" asked the man.

"Hillary's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."

Rev. Wright, Please Just Shut Up!!

Please. You are killing Obama's chances. Next time you see a camera or a microphone pointed your way; just go the other way.

Fatirah from Philly — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 11:25:21 EDT

Senator Hillary Clinton (D, NY) has some explaining to do.

BlackCommentator.com has learned that Bill Clinton, while president, repeatedly praised the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC). This is an organization that many, including some whites and a former U.S. senator from Illinois, have called racist.

In the letter to the UDC President Clinton wrote:

The White HouseWashingtonJune 21, 1994I am delighted to honor the United Daughters of the Confederacy as you celebrate your 100th anniversary.One of the most rewarding of human experiences is the coming together of people to share common experiences and interests. For 100 years, the United Daughters of the Confederacy has maintained and built upon the wonderful legacy of your founders. The strengh of your organization today is a testament of the vision of your founders and to your commitment to your shared goals.

I congratulate you on your achievement and I extend best wishes for many years of continuing success.

Bill Clinton
