The rulers behind the scenes truly fear Obama.

[tabasco]

Just like they feared JFK and Bobby.

[H2O Man]

1. Nominated. n/t

[Emit]

35. Ditto

Hello H2O Man. Nice to see you. :hi:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

2. oy vey

[grantcart]

3. They fear what they cannot control

[Lucky 13]

4. And Martin and Malcolm.

[malik flavors]

12. And John Lennon

[Middle finga]

5. That's what I was thinking. And he really needs to watch his back

[Muttocracy]

18. :-(

:scared:

I hope his secret service support is good and works for HIM.

[jconner27]

6. Comparing Obama to JKF and RFK

Are you going to compare the Catwoman to the Godfather?

[stevietheman]

33. Well, after Obama's speech on race, I am comparing him to MLK.

I actually think he IS comparable to all these figures. He is in their class, the MASTER CLASS.

[LSparkle]

7. Yes, they do ... he has 1M people behind him -- that's a movement

They are scared shitless and will do ANYTHING to keep him from the nomination
and the WH. But they haven't counted on the tenacity and passion of the people
and ...

THE PEOPLE UNITED WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!

[samdogmom]

8. Please be safe Barack and Michelle!!!!

I'm humming Dion's "Abraham, Martin, & John" right now. PLEASE....BE SAFE!

We have way too many wackos loose in our country!

[BattyDem]

9. Your post is simply ...

terrifying! :scared:

I'm sure I don't need to explain why. :-(

[Stephanie]

10. Please don't say that.

Don't put that message out there. Please. Please delete.

[writes3000]

11. Yep, it became crystal clear to me last week. They are terrified of him.

Because they don't control him and they realize just how smart and strong he is.

[psychopomp]

20. Too smart, too strong

and I would add, too likeable. He certainly is a threat to the Clinton dominance of the Democratic Party. Whether he would really shake things up for the top .1 percent is another question, though.

[K Gardner]

13. Barack empowers the People, like JFK and Bobby and King did.. that's why.

[gayron]

26. lol

That is funny, that is why he gave his speech on Tues right. Running scared and is worried about loosing! He will not control loosing PA in the GE, and we will see Obama no more! Obama will always hold this title SEN. Obama not Pres Obama.

[Moochy]

29. Well Have you counted the delegates remaining in PA?

Superdelegates: The last Hope of Desperate Loosers

[rug]

14. GDP really does not need an assassinated visionary thread.

[ulysses]

15. GDP doesn't really need many things in which it has great wealth these days.

[bklyncowgirl]

24. These days they assassinate them via the media--it's much neater that way

Let's see, Howard Dean, Al Gore, Gary Hart, John Kerry maybe John Edwards and probably a few more that I can't think of right now.

[DiverDave]

16. they feared Edwards, thats why he's gone.

they ain't afraid of any of them now.

[stevietheman]

34. Alternatively, Edwards was just drowned out by a sea of good candidates.

I supported Edwards at first too. But Obama and Hillary both have caught so much fervor that Edwards simply couldn't break through. I don't simply blame the MSM on this. Edwards is great, but people can only vote for one person, and Obama and Hillary happened to be running at the same time.

[LisaM]

39. GMTA, I was going to say the same thing.

They feared Edwards' message much more than Obama's or Hillary's. We ended with two centrist candidates because of it.

[Laelth]

17. Agreed.

That was the point of my argument here:

Why Obama Must Be Destroyed: http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Laelth/22

A candidate with a million individual donors no longer needs corporate campaign contributions. He is now free to do what he feels is right. The oligarchy should be very afraid, because what they are doing is patently wrong, and Obama may just have the courage to fix it.

-Laelth

[RBInMaine]

The horrid corporate right wing "mainstream" media is obviously trying to undermine him BIGTIME.

[AX10]

19. Oy!

[BumRushDaShow]

21. K&R

:kick:

[Whisp]

22. yes.

he has many enemies, I worry for him and his family very much.

It was amazingly brave of him to take this task on.

[Voice for Peace]

23. I hope he has independent security arrangements, not relying upon government s.s.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

25. I saw something odd the other day on the freep site

Someone was genuinely praying for Obamas safety. No one challenged her on it, either.
Strange times, indeed.

[Exilednight]

27. Only certain people fear him, others love him. It's the old stallworths who.........

are afraid of him.

[RoadRage]

28. Sadly, I totally agree..

I think in the past month we've seen the corporate run media, the lobbiests, and political power brokers in Washington all come to the same realization.

Obama, could very well win this election if they don't do something immidiately. Frankly, the media was "light" on him in Jan & Feb, because they all really thought that even though people liked him - when they went to vote, they wouldn't actually pull the lever for the black guy. They thought they still knew the pulse of racial tensions in this country well enough to know that they could just "go easy" on the guy and all the chips would fall into place.

Then the speed of February hit them faster then they knew what happened. And now they're in a situation that they don't know how to get out of. Clinton is a known.. she's connected, and frankly - she's controlable. She can be "bought" with favors, and will sell favors in return.

Not only is Obama black, but he owes very little to anyone. And that DOES terrify people in power... because none of them want to give an ounce of it up.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

37. Excellent post. The Media is not happy.

[Texas Hill Country]

30. omfg.... lame

[Daphne08]

31. It's obvious to me that this is case. n/t

[chyjo]

32. Very true

Just like they feared Dean and John Edwards. They allowed Barack Obama to be a token candidate until it was clear that he could not be pushed into a corner quite so easily.

[Scurrilous]

36. K & R

:thumbsup:

[NoBushSpokenHere]

38. I agree, they truly fear Obama

As a wise man once told me when I asked if there was any possibility of cleaning up DC - "As long as there is organized crime, no, it wouldn't happen"

I have been praying for his safety.
