i am amazed at how much obama can whine and complain about what he calls the clinton's unfairness
towards him, his race as in the martin luther king jr./johnson comments, the jesse jackson 1984/1988 south carolina comments and how the media echoes what the whiner whines about...this whining really is a twist and spin of the old truth such as it has been used by the bushes and the bush bought media.

the clintons, on the other hand, can never say anything factually true about the media's knighted champion because the kniged champion will immediately open his whining shot and the media won't cease their whining of the clintons in an effort to distort and trash the clintons.

i am simply amazed and gasping for air.

6. however ... yes i have ...and i am not lying.
sorry to insult your sensibilities ... the man never said he knew that neither was an insult to his race. and faithful to his tenet, he had found the voice of the media to do the fighting for him, in other words, he was being pragmatic and he was being dishonest. he let the media go on with what he knew was not true but with a charge that would, he hoped, cut hillary at the legs.

20. after keeping silent and letting the media inflame the passions and letting his silence keep
inflaming the passions, he meekly gives this answer to stephanopoulos:

"Stephanopoulos asked explicitly: "You think President Clinton was engaging in racial politics there?"

Obama answered: "I think that, that's his frame of reference was the Jesse Jackson races. That's when he was active and involved and watching what was gonna take place in South Carolina. I think that a lot of South Carolinians looked at it through a different lens."


He knew what the press was doing. He knew how people were receiving it. He knew how Bill Clinton meant it. He said nothing to stop the onslaught of spin and lies. He was benefitting from the lies being raised on his behalf. He is someone who believes in pragmatism, principles of truth be damned!

3. Oh, stop it. Nobody's whining
except the candidates' sillier DU supporters. Neither Clinton nor Obama are whining; they're carrying on with their campaigns and doing a damn good job of it. Now it's time for you guys to stop whining, too.

Anyhow, after your "Obama's Nostrils" essay you really should be laying low for awhile... :rofl:

4. I know. It is the same tact that Bush used. He had the media behind him too
so he was allowed to attack Gore, and when Gore shot back, the media jumped on him and accused him of attacking.

What gets me is the dishonesty of the whole thing. They used race to accuse Clintons of racism And the media ate it up spewing such lies and hate that I have never seen. A few phone calls to "non-partisan" (my ass) and Racism was shouted from the rooftops.

Remember when Clinton suggested that the guys were piling on her (and they were) in the first debate, and any mention of her being female was attacked. They Obama's media shut her down and made her gender a non-issue. Conversely, Obama is allowed to use his race and any mention of it--is shut down.

8. can you provide a single quote of him saying he knew none of what the media was saying was true?
he knew it and he never said it. he was being very pragmatic in advancing his position by letting the media do the talking for him...it was a lie and he knew it.

12. Agreed. Obama is like the kid in the school yard who runs home to mommy and daddy about the mean
kids who don't like him.

His behavior is junvenile and disgusting.

24. Knock it off with the misrepresentation - Obama has never whined.
If your perception of the campaigns has effected you so much you can't breath, I suggest you take a break and try to relax. :eyes:
