Obama could have had 10,000 supporters making noise and adding drama today! He chose not to!

[FrenchieCat]

That's why what the "theater" that we witnessed today doesn't mean diddly squat.

It was all show, but the real activists decided to do as Obama requested.

They were registering voters....and keeping their eye on the prize; with powder staying dry!

Kudos to Sen. Barack Obama for having great wisdom. That is what will be needed to govern this country effectively.

THANK YOU BARACK OBAMA! :patriot:

[babylonsister]

1. Amen! His graciousness and smarts come through yet again!

:patriot:

[FrenchieCat]

6. Clearly......

Which is why this little guy knows who to entrust his future to.

[RazBerryBeret]

2. that was definitely a good call,

from a class act.

[FrenchieCat]

14. Aye!

If any Hillary supporter and the Superdelegates don't think that Obama could have called thousands of supporters in DC to come and rally for him, they are mistaken!

[RazBerryBeret]

18. I seriously think that was what they were expecting

that would've been ugly for us all.

I heard a report that there were repubs on the scene questioning supporters and video taping comments like "if she doesn't win, I'm voting McCain"....

that's disgusting from the repubs, but we should know better, I hope there were minimal incidents of this.

[TwilightGardener]

23. More disgusting is the fact that supposed DEMS were saying it.

[FrenchieCat]

34. But are they really? Maybe more like members of a Hillary worshiping Cult!

of personality, if you ask me.

[TwilightGardener]

38. Yeah, the cult shoe really goes on that other foot--all the evidence is on tape.

[anonymous171]

3. Good thing too. Hillary's support made her look really bad.

[FrenchieCat]

15. They weren't thinking as to what Obama "could" have done.....

Made them look pitifully outnumbered.

[TwilightGardener]

4. Most of the RBC members doubtless respected that sort of responsible leadership--

he kept it from being even more of a circus, and he was rewarded.

[FrenchieCat]

20. And it would have been easy.........

How much did he win D.C. by?

Bus wouldn't have even been needed!

[TwilightGardener]

22. LOL! Didn't even think of that.

[malletgirl02]

28. I agree

He also won both Virginia and Maryland, so it would have been extremely easy for him.

[FrenchieCat]

30. Would have been an easy feat.......but instead chose "no drama".....

You think the Hillary supporters will figure this out?

I don't have any faith that the media will. But since photo-ops showed such a meager gathering, it would only make Hillary look the more pitiful for the media to show any footage of them. CNN did earlier and it looked pathetic.

[NanceGreggs]

5. Amen! k/r

[AtomicKitten]

7. He is the leader we have been waiting for.

[babylonsister]

19. Ha! :) nt

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

8. I am proud of "No Drama" Obama

and proud to support him. He has given us good advice.

[Blondiegrrl]

12. Same here. He is classy and refined. n/t

[Lisa0825]

40. I am also prouod that his supporters respected his request not to counter-protest.

We respect his leadership and that was demostrated today. I know many people were chomping at the bit to be there, but held back because we trusted his decision.

[Spazito]

45. That was my thought as well! Obama supporters should be given kudos as well...

they could have gone against his wishes and showed up, they did not. Obama showed his strong leadership qualities in his call for supporters to put their energies into something positive, registering voters and that is what they did. It was very impressive all the way around.

[FrenchieCat]

50. And let us not forget that Hillary fared decently in the rules and bylaws committee

She was just too far behind for it to help her.

I realized not long ago that Hillary was never, ever ahead of Obama in the pledged delegate count after Iowa.

[harun]

58. Me too. His presenters and supporters on the committee all continued

to act like professional adults even in the face of some pretty immature opposition.

[AllentownJake]

9. Democrats fighting in the streets

would have looked bad. Obama is very classy and very smart.

[FrenchieCat]

25. That's what we didn't need.......

"theater"!

[Zachstar]

10. He knew that the hostile crowd there would likely start a riot if his supporters were there.

[monmouth]

11. It's time our country grew up and started to act like adults instead of

the frat house brats we've seen of late. So proud of the Obama people, classy to the hilt. As a white woman, those stupid looking white bimbos with their rudeness and low class antics just make me feel embarassed.

[Adelante]

47. A bunch of fruit loops

I can't believe some of the things they actually said out loud :wow:

[The Doctor.]

53. Is there footage?

[Adelante]

56. In the video forum nt

[FrenchieCat]

59. Fruit Loops!

:rofl:

[Shakespeare]

13. AND his supporters in the RBC meeting were respectful.

Kind of distills the way this entire campaign has gone.

[silverweb]

16. Absolutely right.

And I think our wise, classy, brilliant, cool-and-calm President-in-waiting deserves a new tidal wave of donations RIGHT NOW. :D

GObama! GObama!

[wanpete]

17. He is a CLASS ACT all the way, and is helping to others to rise up and get beyond

the childish behavior that was displayed today by his opponent and her supporters. He is truly a new brand and I'm glad he will be leading our party.

[democracy1st]

21. they looked like fools

[FrenchieCat]

24. Clinton had like 20 supporters in the lobby yelling "Denver, Denver, Denver!"

and we are supposed to be worried.

[Drunken Irishman]

32. It's all show.

These people make up a small number and they're not going to make an impact either way.

[FrenchieCat]

33. They are a cult in love with a candidate, not the policies.

They are not real activists. They drink Koolaid or Presidende (Dominican not Puerto Rican) Beer! LOL

[futureliveshere]

26. Absolutely.. Wisdom and good judgement in choosing his battles carefully..n/t

[FrenchieCat]

49. and that is the art of warfare, isn't it?

[polichick]

27. Our Obama voter reg. event got rained out...

But I'm glad ~ wouldn't have wanted to miss that show today!

[FrenchieCat]

46. Well, this time, I'm glad you got a chance to see

us regain our party! Yes! :)

[Coexist]

29. you are right.

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

31. The winner today was obvious

Forget the results of the meeting-- anyone who saw that group of shrill creatures should have no doubt that the Clinton campaign is entering Ron Paul territory.

[FrenchieCat]

36. They will be the last ones to know.

that it is now over.

[FrenchieCat]

37. They will be the last ones to know.

that it is now over.

[Honeycombe8]

35. He's a class act, preferring the decorum of the process over theatrics and screaming. Someone...

I would like to see in the White House.

Imagine if we had a President who had this group of people who would go hither and yonder screaming and protesting over everyone who disagreed with their chosen one? I can't imagine supporting anyone who would encourage such childish theatrics.

[FrenchieCat]

39. Did you hear that he could have gotten Michigan on a 50/50 but

in order to get a larger majority did a 69/59?

That sounds very gracious to Hillary.

[Honeycombe8]

51. No, I didn't. But it sounds....well, savvy. Sweet. nt

[FrenchieCat]

41. No Drama; Vote for Obama!

[Unbowed]

42. The Party knows this and will remember this.

The behavior of Clinton camp just killed any chance Hillary had for a future in the Democratic Party.

Today showed the DNC there is a clear choice for the future of the Party. By the disgust on their faces while those idiots were screaming and interrupting the proceedings, it was pretty clear the Clintons are toast. I don't think there's any chance of Hillary being on the ticket after this.

And her "supporters" are the ones who delivered the coupe de grace.

edit to add: With supporters like that who needs enemies?

[FrenchieCat]

43. "And their "supporters" are the ones who delivered the coupe de grace. "

poetic justice perhaps?

[Unbowed]

44. Maybe a case of what goes around coming around.

Of to use another old truism, you do reap what you sow.

Her "harvest" seems to have a distinct reek to it, does it not?

[windoe]

48. Calm during a storm, great photo n/t

[Vinca]

52. I bet Obama had a million supporters making noise.

I, for one, was yelling very loudly at Harold Ickes.

[Onlooker]

54. All Hail Obama!

It is great that even though he is thoroughly moderate in his stands, he has won such loyalty from his most offensive followers. It will be important that he continue to reign them in if he hopes to win over Democrats who backed Hillary or are still undecided. Fortunately, his most zelous followers are his flock, and they follow his command.

[ampad]

55. I notice some Hilly supporters

Who were so embarrassed with their own that they tried to put this on Obama supporters yesterday. I notice a couple of "what if Obama supporters went" post yesterday. I honestly hope it made them feel better to "what if" and to "imagine." What is so crazy is that Obama did have a few supporters there yesterday but none of them behaved bat shit crazy like the Hilly supporters did and that is a fact. Sorry for those who are so embarrassed with Hilly supporters yesterday but it is what it is. Obama supporters had enough respect for themselves to respect the panel and not go off screaming "Denver, Denver" what a bunch of clowns. Yesterday we got a first hand look at who is willing to divide the party to get what they want and who is not. They talk about us being nice to them to bring them to the fold but they did themselves no favors yesterday.

[Zambero]

57. Don't these dimwits moonlight for Ron Paul at GOP state conventions?

Maybe I'm just confusing the raucous noise, outright rudeness, and batshit looniness for the type of bedlam that's occurred at some recent Republican state conventions at the hands of Ron Paul supporters. Idaho's convention is coming up -- that one should be lots of fun since Paul got his best showing in a primary vote there. Perhaps the long-winded Clinton demonstrators, provided their oxygen supply is still holding up, could show up and "help out" a bit?
