Have the people of this country went completely insane? Jesus H Chirst
Obama makes a comment about why he thinks some working class people might not be voting for him, and the next thing you know, Clinton is bashing him, McCain is bashing him, and there are hundres, if not thousands, of news articles about it as if it were some type of fricken federal case.

Obama has an opinion. One way or another, his opinion about that don't mean a hell of a lot to me, and I support him. All I can say is that the people in this country better wake the hell up and stop with this petty ass bull shit. We got some big fish to fry in this country, let me tell you.

they singlehandedly propped him up to where he is now and now they will tear him down. this obama vs. hillary nonsense has been their doing as well. and the public has fallen for it hook, line and sinker. its been a circus sideshow.

3. The answer is 'yes'.
We're talking about a country full of people who do nothing when Bush/Cheney lie about war and implement a policy of torture, but are simply outraged at anything trite Clinton or Obama might say. Yes, Americans, as a collective are batshit insane.

10. Collectively they really are.
Edited on Sat Apr-12-08 06:33 PM by truedelphi
I have had to work with Bush supporters whose consistency on any issue is nil.

Health care - universal single payer health care??

No way, they say. People should be grown ups and take care of themselves. But when their twenty something offspring don't bother to buy insurance even when working at a good paying job, and then they need an operation, Bush-supporter Mom or Dad is driving them over to Social Services to sign up for bennies.
(And if they have been working under the table, they will get them.)

It's a "do as I say, not do as I do" kind of reality.

12. Good way to put it. She jumped on the McCain bandwagon - and is helping to play the tune.

28. Let's get the Bushism right:
It's "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"

And then there was this:

"Childrens DO learn."

9. America has become as childish as Bush's leadership has been.
"In America, if you cheat and get caught, you're a CHEATER, but if you cheat and win, you are saavy."

13. she is the sword in our pinions - the "coups de grace" for the GOP
my humble opinion

only because Obama wouldn't take the PAC money... they don't trust him

even though he's a mild progressive, at best

I've always said the Target is Iran, regional, and global dominion...

this is not about her ego, avarice or ambition

she's under orders

14. The whole world is mad, save thee and me.
Sometimes I wonder about thee. Kidding, I agree, but that doesn’t make the world go round; does it? People get worked up because their lifestyles are in jeopardy and some people actually have a political ideology.

News medias want to make money; gossip it now seems is America’s pastime.

15. The problem seems to be this blind faith bs that my canidate is the best
and I'll protect them to the end mentality. I saw it with Reagan and *, your right its bs, the democratic party doesn't need to become more like the puke party, we are democratics we don't lock step behind anyone. I find it very amusing that the pukes are now behind someone they detest as much as they detest democratics. I have yet to hear a puke defend Mcnumbnuts like they did * or Reagan. Or chance to get back everything and blind faith is getting in the way.

18. I just can't wait for this horseshit primary season to be over.
I like Obama. He's leading; he'll probably win. I just wish it were down to him and McAsshole already so Obama could start beating the living crap out of the poor, deluded old man's dreams of being Preznit.

19. It's not the "people". It's the Clintons. It was a setup and they had things in place to pounce.
Including having stickers all printed up and ready to distribute saying "I'm not bitter" all ready to hand out in NC. Isn't that amazing?

20. Its because Obama told a truth they wanted secret.
They worked hard over the last 28 years to make us bitter. But we aren't supposed to realize that. We are supposed to think they had our back and was working to make life better, all-the-while they use the bitterness to manipulate us.

21. "The People"
aren't the problem. The media are the ones making a mountain out of this molehill. It won't matter though. People aren't that stupid.

22. Who bashed Obama? Clinton or McCain? Their talking points are so similar.
Just call them McClinton so not to be confused.

24. Obama says he regrets impact of his remarks about "bitter" small-town Americans
http://www.journalnow.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=WSJ/MGArticle/WSJ_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1173355267416&path=&s=

In the interview, Obama was asked whether he would apologize to small-town Americans who were offended by his quote in San Francisco.

Obama said: "Well look, if there - obviously, if I worded things in a way that made people offended, I deeply regret that.

26. The media are telling the public what they should be indignant about
"Look here (remarks made by candidates), not there (the Iraq invasion, the economy)."
