Obama is a Liability

[CatnHat]

He has shown to the American people that he is a political opportunist and sold his friends, church, supporters, and independents down a crooked road.

His arrogance alone had many Americans turned off by his fake rhetoric. Now, he has offended one to many of the mainstream voters who can finally see what this guy is really about.

Hillary made a mistake in offering Obama the VP in the first place. Thank God, he is arrogant enough to turn it down. Obama's message is flawed, his campaigned is damaged, and he will finally come to realize that the majority of voters are not going to buy into his crap any longer.

The democratic party knows this all too well, and will nominate Clinton, purely on the basis of electability. The republican machine will go after Obama full steam. Obama is a complete liability to democratic party; if the Wright story came out even a month ago, Hillary would be far ahead, and the democratic party knows this. So don't kid yourselves that Obama is electable, he simply isn't; and Obama and his supporters have nobody to blame but themselves.

1. Whatcha smokin', and can I have some? nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

17. Not the good organic stuff from what I read

Something artificially manufactured by using drano

[GarbagemanLB]

2. Why, exactly, is Hillary offering him the VP slot when he is AHEAD in all categories? Isn't THAT its

elf arrogant?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

3. 'least 'Bama don't cry

[tabatha]

4. Sold his church?

but he said he would still attend.

Sold his pastor - he said he only objected to objectionable comments, but he still supported him.

Hillary was in the position to offer Obama the VP?

Your logic is illogical.

[BeatleBoot]

5. The Rev Wright Issue is Not Over

By any means.

It just broke through and into the MSM.

[Vinca]

16. Keeping in mind the general population couldn't name the members

of the Supreme Court if their lives depended on it.

[FogerRox]

20. McCain camp disputes Wright-Parsley comparison

http://embeds.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/03/15/mccain-camp-disputes-wright-parsley-comparison/

[cali]

22. You're right. It's not over but

something else will come up that will overshadow the Wright business This is the age of the 24 hr news cycle, and unless you're a young white dead girl, the cycle moves on. This has a limited life span until the general.

[NorthernSpy]

31. pick up an actual newspaper sometime...

The Rev Wright issue is barely an issue at all.


Most of the world doesn't live on DU, unfortunately for you.

[DerekJ]

71. it will be verrry soooon

[NanceGreggs]

6. Arrogance is LOSING, and offering the one who is WINNING ...

... the second place slot.

As for "knowing" that Obama isn't electable, perhaps we should dispense with an election completely, and simply defer to your prescient judgment.

[BeatleBoot]

10. Never Confuse Arrogance

with Confidence.

Life has taught me that.

[NanceGreggs]

18. The OP stated that Obama was "arrogant" in not ...

... accepting the notion of the VP spot behind Hillary. Why is THAT "arrogance", and not confidence in his own ability to win the nomination - especially in light of the fact that HE'S winning, and SHE'S losing?

[cali]

24. Because to the poster you're responiding to, everything Hillary

does in that vain, is simply confidence and everything Obama does is arrogance.

[NanceGreggs]

28. Ooops!

I forgot the Hillary Rules of Engagement - yet again!

Thanks, cali! :hi:

[BeatleBoot]

30. Never Confuse Arrogance with Confidence

Life has taught me that.

That's all.

Nothing more, nothing less.

[sueragingroz]

It must be pretty cramped under that bus with all those folks down there... /nt

[Kittycat]

7. How is REDFISHBLUEFISH doing?

[babylonsister]

26. LOL! nt

[DJ13]

8. You ever get dizzy from all that spinning?

[Bright Eyes]

9. You doth project too much.

Hillary Clinton is the liability. Sorry.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

11. "don't kid yourself"

Ironic.

[wileedog]

12. And yet he is beating the snot out of HIllary

How can anyone who is supporting a candidate so far behind call another candidate 'unelectable'? Well what the hell does that make her? She can't even beat this 'liabiltiy'.

[CatnHat]

Up until now

Obama had the ideologues swooning. Not any more. Either Obama supporters are living in a bubble or wishing against hope. Either way, this story will be big in the GE. Count on it.

[wileedog]

46. It won't

The public will be sick of the video by then. There are only so many times they can play the same thing before even folks who don't like Obama will be saying "don't you have anything else?"

There's no follow up to it. Assuming there are no more videos of the good reverend (and my guess is a thorough search has already been done at this point), its a one hit wonder, and it can only be played so much before it just becomes annoying.

I'm not really worried about the GE with either candidate - McCain is terrible. But I do think NOTHING will energize a dispirited, demoralized Republican voter base like a Clinton on the ticket.

[earthlover]

13. Hillary did not offer Obama the VP

But, speaking of arrogance....it is absurdly arrogant to say that someone behind in delegates, and votes, gets to offer anyone the VP and even more absurdly arrogant to object when the other candidate doesn't accept. Sounds cult like to me....

[Liberal Veteran]

14. Can I get some dramamine with that spin?

:shrug:

[cali]

15. More wishful hillbot "thinking"

Hillyhas lost. My opinion of hilly is just as bad as your opinion of Obama. Neither are fact, but merely opinion. I think she's sleaze and bullshit personified, and is where she is largely because she's married to bill. She's a lousy fucking manager, a shitty strategizer, and has run a terrible campaign. She's the worst kind of political opportunist. She voted for the IWR out of political convenience.

You are delusional if you believe the dem party will nominate hilly. Nancy Pelosi made it clear where she stands today and over the past week- and it ain't with hilly. And Pelosi doesn't just have one SD vote. She brings with her a couple of dozen- at least. The dem party evidently does not see your dear hilly as the most electable. Don't kid yourself that she's going to pull off the nomination. Back to Chappaqua with hilly and billy.

[CatnHat]

39. Politics make strange

'bedfellows' Now you are backing Pelosi because she is backing Obama. Give me a break. She is an embarrassment to the democratic party. Don't be too sure of any super delegate votes at this point.

[cali]

43. I took a ton of shit for defending Pelosi

last year. I don't think she's been a stellar Speaker, but I rhink she's taken far too much bashing at DU. I don't see her as an embarassment to the dem party, even though I don't think she's been a strong Speaker. And regardless what you think of her, she is the most powerful dem in D.C., like it or not. And yes, how she votes is the way dozens of dems in the House will vote. It's beyond naive not to know this.

[DearAbby]

19. Pardon me please....

Pointing and laughing




that is all, thank you...carry on.

[Nitrogenica]

21. You are both completely wrong, and added to my ignore list.

Sorry.

[FogerRox]

23. Liability for McCain.

[lligrd]

25. Arrogance = The Audacity To Run Against Hillary

The hubris of the Hillarites knows no bounds.

[CatnHat]

41. No the Audacity

of Obama not to be honest.

[lligrd]

45. Your Posts Are Not Honest

In fact, they are despicable. I don't know how you live with yourself. If you have any morals, you hide them well. About time for you to be leaving isn't it? The grownups will be home soon.

[CatnHat]

51. I am an American

and this is a free country. We are all allowed to have our opinions. Odd, that some of the Obama supporters can rip Hillary and her husband apart on this forum; but get totally pissed off that not everyone is absolutely in love with their candidate. Don't you just the double standard!!!:sarcasm: I know many people who feel exactly like I do. Get used to it.

[lligrd]

66. Yep, You Are An American And Free To Lie

Enjoy.

[Kahuna]

52. Care for some cheese to go with that whine?

:rofl:

[mtnsnake]

27. Hillary's VP offer was just campaign rhetoric. She wouldn't be that crazy to run with him

and risk blowing the election because of all his baggage.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

29. I do not like sour grapes and spam, Sam-I-am.

[akbacchus_BC]

32. Wow, you full of crap and if I were to take you seriously, I'd have to ask you to use spell check...

bunch of tripe as you always are. Get a clue. Senator Obama is gonna be the nominee. He just has more hurdles to cross, but he will be!

[Voice for Peace]

33. LOL

[mkultra]

34. hrc reminds me of the iraqi information minister

Obama is dying in the streets of Bahgdad.

[TomClash]

35. Did Obama kill your cat and steal your hat?

What up wit posts like dat?

[akbacchus_BC]

38. You very well know why they post idiotic crap. We are accustomed to the crap. n/t

[TomClash]

57. I couldn't agree with you more

I was trying to be humorous to avoid what I really wanted to write.

[milkyway]

36. Thanks for sharing. Yep, that's why Obama keeps winning. Take a look at Iowa yesterday

to see how horrified mainstream voters are by Wright's comments. Those Iowans saw 24/7 of Jeremiah Wright on Friday and showed up on Saturday and abandoned Obama in droves. They were so horrified and turned off by Wright and Obama, so scared that the Democratic party would be ruined--ruined, I tell you!--that Obama gained 9 delegates to his previous total while Clinton lost 1 delegate.

So much for that theory.

[mac2]

65. It's Iowa he won not the whole country.

[cooolandrew]

37. America loves him what you gonna do about that. Oh well. take care.

[akbacchus_BC]

42. Not only America loves Senator Obama, most of the progressive people in the world wants him to be

the next President of the US. Despite, the Reverend's video, 95% of the countries of the world is hoping Senator Obama is the President. Clinton is old news, what the hell, bush clinton bush clinton, and 330 million Americans want the same status quo. Do not think so! Go Obama, we people in the socalled third world countries are backing you!

[mac2]

48. Hate to tell the world that Obama has been in Congress

for eight years.He was given power but did little with it. He's not new nor is he a reformer.

He was created by the media now he hates them?

[akbacchus_BC]

50. Really, you got a link for that? You just pulling crap out of your ass!

Amen. Obama is gonna be the next President of the US. Go hide under an effing bridge if you dislike him that much!

[mac2]

61. Clean up your mouth.

I have a right to my opinion in a free society (or so they say).

[Garbo 2004]

56. Obama's been in Congress for 8 yrs? You said you voted for him in 2004 IL Senator race so you know

he hasn't been in Congress 8 years. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3949295&mesg_id=3949538

So you then must know, as an Illinois voter, that before 2005 he was in the Illinois legislature, not Congress. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/03/politics/campaign/03senate.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all&position=&oref=slogin

[mac2]

62. Nope.

I did vote for him the first time when I first moved to this area. He did little and promised a lot.

I live in Illinois so I know he was in the state government before that.

We got little from him period...fed or state.

http://www.votesmart.org/bio.php?can_id=9490

[Inuca]

59. This is a typo, right?

YOu meant Clinton, I bet.

[mac2]

63. No Clinton did not run for office in Illinois...ever until the

Presidential primary.

[cooolandrew]

40. HRC is wayy back 2nd wasnt really her place to offer VP. That is why he trned it down.

[akbacchus_BC]

47. I just hope he does not accept that VP position. My goodness, he

is winning in every which way one looks. Please Senator Obama, do not accept the VP position! But hey, he has won everything but he still not good enough!

[matcom]

44. ah, yet another shade-tree political mechanic

time to take your political "knowledge" out of your cereal box boy and come play in the real world

:eyes:

[akbacchus_BC]

49. Obama is a liability! Wow, you are certainly a liability to Senator Clinton. Hey bozo, she not gonna

be the nominee!

[Doctor_J]

53. Arrogant? You mean uppity?

:eyes:

[Rene]

54. I absolutely agree

[uponit7771]

55. Campared to Hillary, McCain, Bush or JFK? Thank you in advance

[populistdriven]

58. BLOW JOBS & CIGAR TRICKS IN THE OVAL OFFICE (Bill is the Biggest Liability Dems ever had)

[Maxdee55]

60. Wake Up Obama Maniacs

More and more it becomes clear that Obama while a steamroller in the Democratic primary's, cannot win the general election in November. Just last year it looked as if the Democrats could not lose the White House in 2008, but that was before young Democrats became hypnotized by a charismatic wordsmith, and black America deserted Hillary Clinton in droves. It's time to read the writing on the wall, while Obama has more delegates at this time, Clinton has won most of the big states that will be necessary for victory come November, certainly if the Democratic primary's were winner take all Clinton would be ahead in delegates and if Florida were added she would be comfortably ahead. Do you think the Republicans are going to let Obama off the hook when it comes to his relationship with the Reverend Wright, or the fact that until recently he had taken $ millions from special interests, and then there is his friendship and land deals with Antoin "Tony" Resko. Even beyond that, there are the rumors about his religion, or the fact that he hasn't done much in the Senate except prepare to run for President, even more so Obama is extremely liberal and he will be labled as such by the Republican attack machine. All in all while Hillary Clinton has many negatives, the main one being her last name, I believe she is more electable than Obama and will make a better President than a washed up Bush impersonator or a revival style preacher long on charisma but short on deeds, wake up Democrats its not too late.

[Swamp Rat]

64. PLOP!

[yardwork]

67. What?! Is this opposite day or something?

[kid a]

68. correction: Obama is a liability to your personal desire

[democrat2thecore]

69. Liability? Do you realize the hatred that the very name "Hillary" stirs up in a LOT of people?

Not saying it's right - but it's true.

[CreekDog]

70. OMG, a politician is an opportunist?

:eyes:

show me a politician who is not an opportunist and I'll show you someone who won't be winning very often.

give me a freaking break. :banghead:

[DerekJ]

72. Obama is going through the vetting process, and he survived.

Hillary now is the liability. She hasn’t been vetted
