The Obama Boat
Obama is welcoming you all aboard his cruise liner which offers an unforgettable cruise. Along the way there are many stops that include change, an uplifting message and a new direction that hasn’t been seen in nearly a decade.

Everyone is welcome on the Obama boat for an eight year cruise. Along the way you have the potential of a better economy, a promise to end an unjust and illegal war and a true diplomat as a representative of the United States to other countries both friend and foe.

The Obama boat sets sail on Jun 3rd and you do have other options. You can stay home and miss the cruise or you can board the McTanic, which boasts a trip through the past and claims to be the most stern ship ever built.

Two ships are parked at the same dock.

8. Apt comparison. The Lusitania was torpedoed by sneaky thugs below the surface.

12. I'm tired of your bashing of the Imperial navy and U-20. They gave plenty of warning and had a job..
to do.

5. The Obama boat jumped the shark a good while ago.
Edited on Tue May-27-08 05:41 PM by smalll
Also, a lot of us believe that the Obama Boat is the real Titanic in this race. We point out that you can't win the general election on a thin coalition of kids, blacks and latte liberals in the McGovernite mold -- we point out the impending iceberg, and the Obamatrons "thank" us for our "concern," re-arrange deck chairs named Webb or Sebelius, and plow forward, full steam ahead!

9. Wow.. what are you going to do when Hillary finally is forced out?
Sit around and blame Obama and his supporters, the media, everyone else? How is it that she is not held accountable for any of her actions? I know these are questions you can only offer bullshit responses to or lie about but still. Have fun crying for the rest of the year, I am sure it's nice and healthy for you.

10. any poster that uses "latte liberals & blacks" is not a Democrat
If making excuses for uneducated white's racism is what you think the Democratic party is about you need a time machine to go back to the pre 1964 Civil Rights legislation.

16. It's really not about racism. It's just a correct description of the Obama coalition.
Edited on Tue May-27-08 05:51 PM by smalll
Kids, blacks and latte liberals generally are the particular demographics who feel drawn to this random young inexperienced candidate. Grown-ups (a majority,) non-African-Americans (a majority,) and non-rich people (a majority) find themselves left cold by him.

21. Keep telling yourself that, as you spout right wing talking points, reality check whitey is not the
future majority demographic, competing for the shrinking white demographic is a losing strategy.

Same with your elderly whites for Hillary.


She is losing. Accept that which you cannot change.

You change no one's mind on this forum. I am certainly not trying to change yours. But I certainly do object to any Democrat referring to any other Democrat as a latte liberal.

22. If it's really not about racism, you do a great job making it sound racist as fuck
Maybe the racism is a you thing and not a campaign thing, but I'm not buying.

11. Candidacy as cruise ship. Nice.
Superficial, insulated from the unpleasant real life faced by those in the countries you see from your porthole, expensive, and fun... yet meaningless.

The cruises I'm familiar with dump you off at the same port you embarked from. Just with a lighter wallet. Personally, I want to go somewhere and improve things.

You'll see.

Wait, I'm thinking about the Love Boat, not the Hope Floats.
