A disturbing pattern for Obama?
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/01/28/post-sotu-al-kaidee-on-the-run-open-thread/

"That immature rudeness (what else can one call it?) reminds me of Mr. Obama’s behavior after he lost in Nevada. He not congratulate Sen. Clinton on her victory, nor did he call her with congratulations. In contrast, on Saturday night after the South Carolina primary, Sen. Clinton called Sen. Obama to congratulate him, and did so too in her speech in Tennessee, carried live on C-Span.

There’s something arrogant — and ill-mannered — about the man when he’s “scoring” victories and endorsements. That is, if it can be said that he really “scored” today when he got the endorsement of Teddy Kennedy, despised by Republicans (who Obama is courting). The same Teddy Kennedy that an arrogant Obama attacked nastily in 2003:

hen he was an Illinois State Senator in 2003 … Sen. Ted Kennedy, the liberal lion, for not showing enough political backbone on “a prescription drug bill being considered by Congress".

1. Obama needs to grow up
I know he is in his forties but he is acting like a teenager in maturity.

23. HRC disappeared from SC to campaign in CA
that was a very big snub for the people of SC (sending your husband doesn't count).

2. ...
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/08/03/clinton-obama-tensions-spill-into-the-senate/
The relationship began to change, according to several Democrats who are friendly to both senators, when Mr. Obama began musing aloud about a presidential bid. The day he opened his exploratory committee, several Senate observers said, he extended his hand and said hello on the Senate floor. She breezed by him, offering a cool stare.

Handshakegate. It's pointless. Pot meet Kettle.

43. Perhaps people should stop posting on this subject then
Hillary supporters are spamming GDP with this kind of crap and so people Obama supporters feel a need to give both sides with facts but when they do they get attacked and all they did was present both sides. :hurts:

You all just want your side out there over, and over and over and over and over with no opposing side. Give me a break.

I'm a Hillary supporter but I haven't posted but one time on the hand shaking incident and what I said last night was I couldn't tell whether he turned his back on her or not. That said, you shouldn't paint every Hillary supporter with the same brush.

Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 11:44 AM by ljm2002
...while campaigning for her husband.

Oh, I shouldn't be calling Michelle Obama a "witch"? Well right you are. But then why is it okay to call Hillary a (b)itch?

Screw you.

32. Coming from an individual who makes an issue about "Michelle dances funny" how can I be surprised
that SOME HRC supporters have sunk into the blood, muck and filth of *interpreting non-verbals?*

You're all "Miss Cleo" and can read peoples minds. :crazy:

Wow! Now that's what I would consider "delusion." :thumbsdown:

38. The best way for the Obama supporters to put this to rest
is to say "that wasn't nice and I wish he hadn't done that" and move on. I don't see that happening. I see a lot of excuses.

When John Edwards took a potshot at Hillary for her emotional moment I didn't like it. I support Edwards but I didn't like that particular comment. I didn't excuse it, I didn't blame Hillary for something she may have said about Edwards at another time I accepted that John Edwards said something I didn't like and agree with.

Grow up people. Obama's action isn't defensible and it was childish. Just admit it and move on.

DU. Of course Obama should say it as well.

Hillary received more state delegates (there was no announced popular vote totals). You figure out which is more important.
