Rabid Hillarite Response to Obama's PA Upswing, 'Operation Send in the Clown'
Edited on Wed Apr-02-08 09:46 PM by JackORoses
http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4575420

I like how the cameraphone follows this clown everywhere as he stalks Barack.

Is this all you got Hillary?
Your torpedos just don't go boom like they used to.

I nominate this stalking fucker for the Golden Douchebag Award.


Go back to your bridge you trollish fuck!

*

However, I must note that Barack Obama is a calm and cool individual.

I think "You are wearing me out, brother" might be the next "Let is Sink"

7. why does abc news put this crap on the web?
The Disney corp IS in the pro-corporate camp in the political realm.

BIG neocon (Bush) supporters, who now seem to be cheerleading for Clinton.

From an earlier report, I read that man was some dude that sells photos on Ebay. Where does it say he was a Clinton supporter?

16. I heard him say the name Clinton
But I think he was exclaiming that he had gotten McCain and Clinton to take photos with him and was "wondering" why Obama wouldn't.

I started my thread because I wanted to point out how smooth Barack was when dealing with such a opportunist jerk. I still think the guys is more interested in selling pics with candidates for money than he is in the politics of the situation. My hope is that man now has a protection order against him.

Trying to embarrass Obama into giving in.

He had a camera team following him.

35. Maybe he sells the vids too
Dude sounds like a typical paparazzo. Say anything to get the image. Could be the man is a professional photo/stalker.

I don't like that they let him remain in the crowd after the first confrontation. I honestly don't know how the SS maps out the security for our candidates. I don't want to know. I just want them protected.

If this story continues to play out, we'll know everything about that man soon enough.

The bigger question is why the fuck didn't the secret service distance him from Obama.

49. Exactly. What worries me
is that a) Hillary is trying to gin up a race war and b) this kind of thing getting publicity will give other people ideas, or, if you're cynical, give the CIA cover for one of their little jobs. Pretty frightening.

17. Here's another shot and dialogue..
"Obama's Run-In With A Persistent Photo-Seeker"

Barack Obama was confronted by a pretty persistent photo-seeker in Philadelphia Wednesday. Turns out the guy was an eBay reseller, but watch an irked Obama handle the pesky Pennsylvanian:

<snip>

Obama: "Yea well whatever. Just take it. I won't be smiling. Because you're wearing me out. ....No no, you've been really rude about it. Just take a shot."

Obama and the man did not take a shot, the man was still arguing and the secret service stepped in (non confrontationally), just putting a hand between him and Obama.

Secret service: That's it.

Man: No I'm good. All I want is a picture that's it."

"Why is Obama talking to this guy?" The SS should have detoured him away once it was clear "no" wasn't going to stop him. I don't like AT ALL that he was so close he was even touching him after it became clear he was at the very least a nuisance.

it's interesting to see how they operate... you can let people get pretty close if you know how to check for signs, and are quick

55. you're laughable, assuming this guy is faster than any SS agent
at moving his hands from his upper body to his pockets, than the SS agents are, moving their hands from around their waists, to grabbing this guys wrist.

There is a reason they are standing that close. They are trained, and they are not leaving him open to being killed. You honestly think his life is in that person's hands, at that moment, from a gun, or knife, or some other object in his pockets?

Wouldn't even let a man have a photograph. Or an autograph. Or a hug.
What a fucking monster.
I hope they impeach her from the Senate.
She must have not paid her bill at Walgreens for the photo developing.
Can She sink any lower?
She should spend the rest of her life without the luxuries of photography. Or PantSuits.


That is probably how a Obamasturbation thread about a potential similar situation would occur, if it had happened to Clinton.
