i am barack obama's kitchen sink. wont you join me?
when i went to ohio to knock on doors, the pep talk we got was this- don't worry about policy details, just bring your passion for the campaign. tell the people why you got on a bus and traveled all the way here. YOU ARE BARACK OBAMA. because that is what this campaign is about. a movement. a movement of people passionate about change. it is not just about getting elected, it is about changing the course of american history. take that to the people who open their doors to you.

so, i am pissed off that we still have to get out there and work it, even though we have won. but i guess hillary is not going home until we hit her with OUR kitchen sink. so, i get on the bus again, and go to indianapolis, and again take it to the people who will open their doors.

i am the kitchen sink.

how about you?

means he put you on ignore, so it was rather silly to answer him.
Just sayin'

27. He is both correct and a detriment.
Sad when it works that way.

He's a liability because he speaks inconvenient truths that displease the ruling white corporate media. Sad, but true.

32. say it with me- not this time.
i think this is a big kerrfufil on the internets, but i don't think that many people in the real world give a shit. i know the people who watch fux noise are repeating the little mantra, but in the actual real world, i honestly don't think many people give a shit. it is a dog whistle to remind people that he is black, but i'm pretty sure most people know that.
just- not this time.

41. I hope so. He needs to win NC and Indianna - that's the loudest STFU mesage to the media
I'm not saying he "needs to" to win the nomination - but I think it would be a tremendous help for him in the general to win both of these contests.

people are really disappointed that Obama is NOT the man they thought he was, after donating money to his campaign that could have been put to better use in their own households..

16. You keep saying that.
But your candidate is begging for debates because she is broke. And Hillary hasn't outdistanced anyone, because she is still behind in every count that matters. You are delusional.

We need a tough candidate like Hillary. Not a crybaby like Obama who is too weak to defend himself..Wright isn't finished with him. He'll be back out they to deal the final blow. He said so himself!

23. Because the debate was run by a former Clinton staffer?
And Obama defended himself just fine. Focus groups declared him the winner of the debate. The only people who thought he lost were the media and desperate Hillary supporters like yourself.

I worry for your sanity. You should get some help. I'd hate for you to lapse into self-destructive behavior when Obama gets the nomination.

50. How does it feel to give money to Clinton and her turn around and give it to Mark Penn?.?.?
$4 Million just in April alone. I've read some post on your site you love soooo much. There was one poster there who claimed to give her grocery money to Hillary and ALL she was eating were eggs, and how her husband was going to be upset with her for donating ALL their grocery money to Hill. Perhaps she'll be wearing eggs on her face before too long.

MAYBE THAT MONEY WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER SPENT ON HER HOUSEHOLD.

28. Can't please everyone.
I personally liked Obama's proposals for open government, i.e. contractor databases and transparency, cabinet member town hall meetings, etc. It's something that's desperately needed after the Bush years. I'd say those are the top proposals that won me over.

12. this one little part was about passion. nobody expects every volunteer to know
the details of policy. you are stupid if you think they can or will. so, the campaign didn't.

but that was not the point of the statement. the point was that the campaign is about building a movement that will be there after election day. and the point of talking to voters was to invite them to be a part of the movement.

under president obama we the people will still be a part of the government. that will be a nice change, don't you think?

country again which america hasn't seen for a long time. America deserves to be happy again and Obama wants that most of all.
