Obama Supporter cannot name one thing he's done

I saw this last night and I must say, I was quite surprised that Matthews would go this route.

However, it is the truth. Obama hasn’t done much, at all, really.

Here’s the Video:

Matthews made his point, the problem was, it wasn’t on his show.

However, it did make a good point.

However, at this point, I don’t think it will matter. Obama’s so far head, there’s nothing that will stop him.

So, where were you Chris, back, say at the start of the Primaries?!?!? Rolling Eyes

Update: and Now, She’s gloating….Watch it: (H/T HotAir)

I think she should rethink using Chris Matthews as a Bragging tool.

I mean after all, this is the same network that accused her of pimping out her Daughter to get elected. 

(H/T Memeorandum)

Oh Boy, here we go!

The fall out has started, over what Michelle Obama has said.

It ranges from dismissal, to outright racism.

Some people just need to get real.

Memo to Michelle Obama: Watch what you say lady!

Egad.

Quote:
“What we have learned over this year is that hope is making a comeback. It is making a comeback and let me tell you something, For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment. I have seen people who are hungry to be unified around some basic common issues. It has made me proud.”
You’d think she knows better than that. I know she didn’t anything bad by it. But you know how them right wing tools are.
 
Egad.

This will be the big one for the talking heads tomorrow.

Obama is a Plagiarist

Now this does not surprise me a bit at all…

The Story: Obama Caught Plagiarizing 2006 Speech? (H/T to NYT)

Quote:

Big Head DC has discovered alarming similarities between a speech made by Sen. Barack Obama on February 16 while campaigning for president in Wisconsin and an October 2006 speech made by Deval Patrick, the current Democratic governor of Massachusetts. The coincidences would seem to indicate that Obama copied several lines and linguistic speech patterns from Patrick’s “Just Words” speech for Obama’s own “Words Matter” speech. Indeed, words do matter. And they matter even more when they are one’s own words.

Interesting. Wasn’t another famous black leader accused of this as well?

Seems the "Magic Negro" doesn’t have a creative bone in his body.

When are people going to wake up and see this guy for what he really is, and that’s a inexperienced, snotty nosed, Negro punk, who’s trying to ride on the shoulders of Martin Luther King Jr. into the White House.

If Conservatives vote for him, it will be the death of this country. Period. I’m not for Hillary at all, and McCain is a fake too. But this is just too much.

Breaking News: Obama is being accused of gay sex and drug use…..

This could get big, if it’s true…..

Sleaze charge: ‘I took drugs, had homo sex with Obama’ (via WorldNetDaily.com)

The electrifying presidential campaign of Barack Obama faces a new challenge – a Minnesota man who claims he took cocaine in 1999 with the then-Illinois legislator and participated in homosexual acts with him.

The Video in Question:

At first I thought, “Nah…”, But, Why would someone get on Youtube, and admit that they’re gay? and say something like this, if it’s not true. I mean, after all, we do not know much about Obama, except for his very sanitized website.

This does warrant more investigation.

Update: From the feedback I am getting, this could very well possibly be a hoax. But I am leaving up the post, just an case. Some are saying that the Hillary camp might be behind this. Although, I doubt it.

Update: May 10, 2008 – This man ended up taking a lie detector test and failing. See here for more info….. and hello to the ladies in the forum debating this!

Republicans have lost their minds….

There should be a law against this sort of blatant stupidity.

Right slams Obama as ‘shady Chicago socialist’ (Via Times Online)

LEADING Republicans believe they can trounce Barack Obama in the presidential election by tarring him as a shady Chicago socialist. They are increasingly confident that his campaign could collapse by the time their attack machine has finished with him.

Grover Norquist, an influential conservative tax reform lobbyist, said: “Barack Obama has been able to create his own image and introduce himself to voters, but the swing voters in a general election are not paying attention yet. He is open to being defined as a leftwing, corrupt Chicago politician.”

Not only will this not work. But if it’s taken too much to an extreme, could really come back to bite the Republicans in the rear. One only need to go to Wikipedia to get a list of the MANY scandals that have happened during the George W. Bush Presidential Administration. Some say his stint as President was the worst ever.  I cannot say that I disagree with that.

So, I mean, they can go this route, But I would not suggest it. It would be totally disastrous for the party. 

Of course, there are some that are saying, that this is all a doing of Hillary or at least she is loving it. This would not surprise me in the least. However, I don’t think that she is directly involved, I think it is the work of an over zealous, right wing fringe. 

It should be a very interesting election year. I will be here covering it all.

Could this be Hillary's preemptive Thank You and Farewell speech?

Go Listen to it.

It sure sounds like to me. Considering this story here, about Obama votes not being counted.

It could very well be that Hillary’s camp knows that they’re not going to win and they’re trying like the devil to either save face or soften the blow to their legions of fans.

I don’t claim to have any inside information, But that sure did have the "I’m not going to win, so thank you", kind of a ring to it.

I could be wrong, I kind of hope that I am. But it sure does sound like the reality is setting in over at Hillary HQ.

The Crap is about to hit the fan between Obama and Hillary

This is about get real messy, I bet. Others do as well.

The Story: Black Leader, a Clinton Ally, Tilts to Obama (via New York Times)

Representative John Lewis, an elder statesman from the civil rights era and one of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s most prominent black supporters, said Thursday night that he planned to cast his vote as a superdelegate for Senator Barack Obama in hopes of preventing a fight at the Democratic convention.

That is what people are saying, Blacks are worried that we might end up with another 1968 Democrat convention. This is all about to really messy, I predict that Obama will be able to ride out the storm and Hillary will come out looking like an idiot and end up losing, not just the election, but her own shirt as well.

Should be interesting.

Chris Matthews Speaks the truth

The Story: Matthews Calls Clinton Press Shop "Lousy," "Kneecappers" (Via Huffington Post)

The Video:

Quote:

"What she has to do is get rid of the kneecapers that work for her, these press people whose main job seems to be punishing Obama or going after the press, to building a positive case for her," said Matthews. "Her campaign slogan right now is don’t get your hopes up. That won’t work in America. You can’t diminish Obama and hope that you will rise from the ashes."

Asked why he believed Clinton had gone negative, Matthews again struck an antagonistic chord about the campaign’s media operation.

"The kneecapping hasn’t worked. Her press relations are lousy," he said. "If all you do is intimidate and punish and claim you’ll get even relentlessly, people of all kinds of politicians — and in all fairness, the press — human reaction to intimidation is screw you. That’s the human reaction. Don’t tell me what to say, and that has been their whole policy. We’re going to win this thing. Get out of the way."

Chris Matthews is spot on with this. Hillary is now turning negative, because Obama is beating her sorry butt in the election race. Yes, she is "Pimping Out" her daughter AND her husband to get her elected. From most reports, her campaign is spiraling out of control and her support is dwindling rapidly. She just needs to accept the fact that she could not beat fate. She and John Edwards both should have known better than to try and run against a African-American, it was a dumb move and she will pay for it in the end. Kudo’s to Christ Matthews for speaking the truth and not backing down to these idiots.
