Obama being called a wimp for not going for the throat of his Dem Party Opponent???
That's fucked up!

If he did, he'd be perceived as "damaging" the party.
If he did, he'd be perceived as "ganging" up on a woman.
If he did, he'd be portrayed as the angry Black man going after defenseless.

I think that Obama is doing the right thing by restraining himself in these primaries against Hillary.

Do not doubt that he will come out strong against McCain.

And if anyone is confusing Obama's efforts to keep a certain level of civility in this primary fight, and calls him a wimp, that is a wrong assessment.



Watch and listen.

12. He is a wimp with the media as well
Mr gee I answered like 8 questions

If he isn't reading a speech he isn't much at all, not in the debates, with the media or any extemporaneous speaking

7. Don't pay attention to the corporate media
It's just a ploy by the media to try and get Obama to attack Hillary like she's already doing to him. They want higher ratings and more money to fill their coffers.

They want this to go all the way to the convention and they would profit big time, especially if it's an extremely negative campaign.

8. A wimp who's knocking off the world's toughest fighter
You know he's got a competitive streak. Competitive enough to keep cool now, because he wants to win in November with all the Democratic party on his side.

9. The underestimate Barack at McCain's peril...
This "wimp" stuff is so stupid. If Barack hadn't been a bit cautious we's have more sympathy votes like after the NH tears.

13. BARRACK OBAMA IS THE WIMP 2008 DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
BARACK OBAMA HAS LOST MY VOTE AS OF APRIL 22, 2008

As a loyal life-time liberal Democratic party member who shares the same values on important politcal issues as the Kennedy family (President JFK, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, & Senator Edward M. Kennedy, I have actively supported 200% SENATOR BARACK OBAMA for PRESIDENT over the last year here in San Francisco, CA and because of the following reasons, I am switching my vote to REPUBLICAN JOHN MCCAIN:

1. BARACK OBAMA cannot figure out how to defeat Hilary Clinton by now APRIL 22, 2008 - HILARY CLINTON is America's #1 negative low-life slimy Democratic politician whose is destroying the DEMOCRATS chances for winning back the White House in 2008!!!

HILARY CLINTON is a selfish power-mad monster, a poor excuse as a national Democratic political leader, a fake Christian, and an evil human being.

BARACK OBAMA does not have the RIGHT STUFF to be America's president and defeat Hilary Clinton by now like Ronald Reagan did to defeat Jimmy Carter in the 1980 election year - and JFK did to defeat Richard Nixon in the 1960 election year.

Only a WIMP or a WUSS would LET HILARY CINTON beat them - JFK and RFK would never lose to a low-life candidate like HILARY CLINTON!!

BARACK OBAMA IS A a WIMP or a WUSS!!!

2. BARACK OBAMA conducted a weak negative campaign in the Pennsylvania primary which is totally unacceptable - Barack Obama has lowered himself to Hilary Clinton's evil low-life slimy politician level.

3. BARACK OBAMA does not know how to focus on and solely discuss the most important issues of this 2008 election year that major concerns educated Americans - ending the US war in Iraq and the fixing US economy to be fiscally healthy again!

BARACK OBAMA DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO WIN!
