President Obama will be sworn into office in January, 2009.

[rateyes]

Some of you may not like that. However, learn to love it.

It.is.going.to.happen.

He will end the primary race on June 3 with more pledged delegates, and the Democratic Party is not stupid enough to alienate all the new voters, the great percentage of which are Obama supporters. More importantly, neither is the party dumb enough to piss off the Black community. African-Americans have stood with the Democratic Party through thick and thin---they won't do that if they feel like the Party won't stand with them when an African-American wins the most pledged delegates, the popular vote, yet loses because of party bosses.

Rev. Wright had a great sermon in front of the NAACP. His remarks in response to questions at the NCP, however, were over the top, and quite frankly, disgustingly wrong---and, Obama made a hard, but good judgment to speak the truth about it.

So, all of you who are pro-Hillary who want to keep trying to damage Obama with this controversy are doing nothing but damaging the Democratic nominee, and the next President of the United States.

President Obama. Learn to love hearing it, because it.is.going.to.happen.

[MNDemNY]

1. Yawn.

[rateyes]

2. Better take a bigger one, and wake up, because if you think

Hillary is going to get the nomination, you are dreaming.

[MNDemNY]

6. I do not, I'm not dreaming.

[Lucky 13]

9. Delusional? Drunk? High?

:shrug:

[MNDemNY]

13. Why do you assume I am a Clinton supporter?

[Lucky 13]

44. I'm familiar with your work.

[MNDemNY]

50. Obviously, not.

[JuniperLea]

29. Well, that will win votes for Obama!

:sarcasm: I only add that because I'm not so sure you'd get it otherwise.

28. Insults! That's nearly as effective as brow beating...

Keep this up and you and the few here of your ilk will be all alone with your Obama... you aren't doing your candidate any favors with this childish behavior.

[crimsonblue]

30. Hmm.. childishly threatening to not vote for Obama in the fall? Check

[JuniperLea]

32. Proving your crystal ball is flawed...

I have never said any such thing. Bullshit.

[crimsonblue]

38. Hmm... I guess you don't read what you post.

"Keep this up and you and the few here of your ilk will be all alone with your Obama... you aren't doing your candidate any favors with this childish behavior."

Now, you are saying that me and my "ilk" will be all alone with Obama, meaning you won't be standing beside him. How else should I read that? Should I put on my Hillary-approved Oppositeland glasses? Right is wrong and wrong is right?

[JuniperLea]

54. Don't put words in my mouth

No, that is not what I'm saying. Cleary I am saying you are doing your candidate no favors and are scaring votes away from him... you will be standing alone with Obama while Hillary moves into the White House... this is what I'm saying... obviously, since I said you aren't doint your candidate any favors.

I've said time and time again that I will vote for whomever is nominated.

[rateyes]

41. Lighten up,

it was a joke. MNDemNY, as far as I know, is still supporting Dennis Kucinich.

[JuniperLea]

55. don't tell me to lighten up

insults are never clever jokes in times such as these.

[beachmom]

3. Well said. K & R

[DJ13]

4. I like the sound of that!

President Obama, has a nice sound to it!

[flvegan]

5. Lots of us said that about Kerry for Jan '05.

Don't count a rigged election out.

[rateyes]

8. You do have a point there. nt

[flvegan]

27. BUT

I do like the sound of President Obama quite a little bit. I just never count the rethuglicans out, no matter how shitty their candidate is.

[Lucky 13]

7. He is winning. She is losing. Get over it.

It WILL happen, no matter the temper tantrums, complaining, whining, sense of grandiose entitlement, or egotism.

Hillary's end is drawing near.

Say it with me now: PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA. Love it!

[chimpymustgo]

14. Sure, if it makes you feel better. Get ready for President McCain if BHO is the nominee.

We will get creamed.

[JuniperLea]

20. I don't believe that any more about Obama than I do about Clinton

I've seen the same tired line used by both camps, and I think it is merely the furthering of a GOP meme.

[chimpymustgo]

24. It is not a GOP meme. It is my belief.

[Lucky 13]

33. Ok, coincidentally, your belief IS a GOP meme

[thoughtcrime1984]

23. If you say so.

[JuniperLea]

10. Yawn... this is soooo tired...

Instead of brow beating people, how about trying to unite them?

You are full of bullshit on Wright. He's a good man. He and Obama are not required by law or morality to agree on anything at all. Throwing a good man under the bus doesn't help Obama at all. And quite frankly, I find it disgusting to read your OP and your hand on the body heading under the bus.

None of this helps or hurts either Clinton or Obama. Making an issue where there should be none isn't going to help anyone.

[AndyA]

11. Got that crystal ball fired up, eh, Dorothy?

Barack not only needs to deal with Hillary, but he also will have to EFFECTIVELY deal with McSame, the GOP smear machine, the right leaning media, the prejudice, and more before he moves into the White House.

Judging by how ineffectively he's dealt with some other issues during his campaign, I'd say the odds are not with him.

The fight is far from over. Take a dose of reality and realize there's a long way to go still.

(Like many Democrats, I do not currently support either Democratic candidate.)

[JuniperLea]

16. "I do not currently support either Democratic candidate."

No wonder I agreed with every word you said!

[rateyes]

18. Yep. Got it fired up.

If course, I could be reading it wrong. Perhaps the Democratic Party will be stupid enough to overrule the people.

[chimpymustgo]

36. Remember how many threads there were in 04: Dean WILL be the nominee. Dean WILL be the next

President.

Just saying.

[fight4my3sons]

[jpalmer]

17. Wish you were right, but you're not

Those of us who like Obama are dreaming if we think this Wright "issue" created by the corporate media hasn't hurt Obama's chances in the rest of the primary and the GE. Some white folks have been searching for a reason not to vote for him and this will give a perfect excuse. A week ago the news reported that 8-15% of voters would not vote for a black candidate no matter who it was. Add in Obama's political leanings, the skeletons in his closet, and the beating he and Hillary are giving each other and it's easy to see why the party big wigs are so worried about the presidential ticket dragging down their chances in other races. It will be interesting to see if the rumors are correct and if an undamaged candidate like Al Gore is brought in to reunify the part and serve as a consensus candidate. After all, he still has not endorsed anyone and with the RNC blaming him and the Global Warming movement for food shortages he could do a lot for our cause in a position of power.

[FrenchieCat]

25. You'll find via your survey, a great percentage will not vote for a woman

for president, and an equal number will not vote for a McCain due to his age.

[rateyes]

42. Hey, I would love to see Al Gore,

but it won't happen, and that would still drive away African-Americans, IMO.

[rock]

19. Why does the Big O attact so many psychics? n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. No kidding. I was just wondering that myself.

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. "Get over it" "Learn to love it" "Learn to love hearing it.."

:boring:

[JuniperLea]

26. They are winning you over with hate, too, I see...

I always change my mind when I'm brow beaten!

Ugh...

[TragedyandHope]

31. This is true

Some minds will really be blown, but it is going to happen. I have hope, but it's reasoned hope based on actual votes. Clinton supporters who cling to the one in a million chance of Hillary stealing the nomination based on fantasy have a whole new kind of hope beyond hope. Someday soon, I hope we will be able to tap into that amazing resource to help get our party into the White House.

[azmouse]

34. Gobama

[rndmprsn]

35. K&R

[dailykoff]

37. Absolutely, but he needs a mandate, like a tidal wave,

and he'd easily get one if he could only get his freaking campaign started.

:mad:

[invictus]

39. K & R. GOBAMA!

[zulchzulu]

40. Absolutely!

I hope to be in DC for that event!

GOBAMA!

[NJmaverick]

43. I think all DUers were be happy with what they see from President Obama

Has a nice ring to it. :)

[Hoof Hearted]

49. You. are. going. to. be. very. dissapointed.

:rofl:

[rateyes]

51. Bookmark this thread, so you can recall how wrong you are about that.

:rofl:

[tomreedtoon]

52. And fifteen minutes later, he will be assassinated.

That's assuming that the right wing doesn't take him out before he is elected. There's an awful lot of guns out there, and Bush has told his Secret Service not to worry about protecting the black guy too much.

[tabasco]

53. Hillary will continue her career as Senator from Punjab.

[Mimosa]

59. OMG! Did SHE really say that?

Tabasco, please tell me: did Hillary actually SAY THAT?

It's a photo montage to Rod Stewart's "Never Give Up On A Dream".

57. I really hope so. It would be the first time in my life I felt proud to be American

Currently I am disgusted and cynical.

[depakid]

58. I don't think there's a single sincere person on this baord that wouldn't like that

but I'd also say that there are a lot of realistic people on this board who see the chances of that are becoming increasingly remote.

And that has a whole lot less to do with Hillary than with the candidate and campaign itself....
