'God Damn America', 'Typical white person', 'Jobless people are bitter'

[Seeker30]

A very electable uniter.

Maybe he should have spent more time sharpening up his bowling skills and less time hanging out with Rezko and Wright if he really wanted people to believe he can relate the average American.

Oh but he might play basketball with ya if you get 10 of your friends to vote for him!

:rofl:

[DearAbby]

1. Jesus, did all of you have mass lobotomies?

you people need to find a clue.

[Catherina]

48. I think so. I've never met a group so out of touch with America than HRC supporters

As far as they're concerned, everyone's happy picking at watermelon rind on the plantation.

[rodeodance]

54. Its elitist BHO who is out of touch with the PA people--now he will pay the price for his comments.

[CreekDog]

2. he didn't say G-D America

try again.

[whistler162]

16. Nope that was....

Pat Robertson!

[shayes51]

44. No he didn't, but those will be the words that will be

playing in many voter's heads on election day in the GE if he is the nomimee.

[CreekDog]

55. like the sniper thingy?

or 100 years in Iraq, or...

:shrug:

newsflash: candidates aren't perfect.

[kwenu]

52. It's not worth defending. Hillarybots know that they are desperate frauds who don't care for Truth.

[Life Long Dem]

:boring:

[davidpdx]

3. Way to put three totally different things that are completely out of context

together and spin them into something they aren't. My only question for you is: Do you work for Mark Penn or Karl Rove?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

15. The answer to that is Rove. It has been displayed too often here.

5. What's that word I'm searching for? Oh yeah:

[Fearless]

6. Yes, I think we have a concensus.

Bat shit crazy.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

7. Jobless people ARE bitter.

We were raised to believe that if we went to college and studied hard, and worked hard on the job, we'd realize the American Dream: We'd have two nice cars, a loving family, a decent house to live in, some sort of job security, a pension when we retired, health insurance paid for by our employer or our spouse's employer, and an occasional vacation or other luxury.

We were FUCKING LIED TO BY THE POWERS THAT BE. ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE OUR LABOR UNJUSTLY AND NOT PAY US WHAT WE WERE WORTH, AFTER WE SPENT YEARS IMPROVING OURSELVES. NOR DID THEY PROMOTE US, ACKNOWLEDGE OUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THEIR BUSINESSES, OR TREAT US LIKE HUMAN BEINGS. THEY TRIED TO KEEP US IN STRESS AND FEAR ALL THE TIME.

However, in America we are all supposed to jump around and sing HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY at all waking moments, thereby not dealing with reality.

Obama could have said it more precisely in order to not be blindsided by that PERPETUAL AMERICAN HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY ritual.

[truedelphi]

24. The big big lie of globalization being unavoidable

Brought a lot of this about.

In my parents' tender years tariffs were in place. The tariff system kept American textile mills here at home. Ditto the automobile industry. And the steel mills.

We don't make4 it here any more.
And since we don't make it here, we can't make it here.

[FrenchieCat]

8. Try this on for size.......NAFTA, CHINA TRADE DEAL, BANKRUPTCY BILL.....

How do you think the voters like those electable feats?

Maybe Hillary ought to spend more time talking her husband out of supporting trade deals with Death squad killing governments, than talking to voters about if they "roll up their sleeves" everything will be fine! whadda ya think?

[anonymous171]

9. lol. And Hillary can't even beat this loser?

[Seeker30]

13. He's outspent her 5 -1 and still behind in PA

Another Mitt Romney

[anonymous171]

14. rofl. Mitt Romney was behind. Obama is ahead after a 11 state sweep.

Weren't you advocating Hillary run as a third party a couple of weeks ago?

[Window]

21. Well, I guess that makes Hillary Huckabee.

[CatnHat]

29. I am anxious to see

the polls in about 48 hours. It should prove real interesting. People have had enough of Obama rhetoric. When he is not scripted, the guy stumbles all over his words. It's becoming more and more obvious to voters.

[kevinbgoode]

42. They have?

That's interesting...he still seems to be drawing a lot of crowds and donations. Now why would that be the case?

[TragedyandHope]

10. The discussion in this country has moved beyond three word soundbites.

You're welcome to join us.

[bhikkhu]

11. Welcome to the real world. Yes, he is an electible uniter.

[Seeker30]

19. In the real world 'electible' is spelled electable

Regardless he is unelectable, but hey, maybe you'll get to shoot a few hoops with him.

[anonymous171]

20. In 2004, John Kerry was electable.

He's president now right? Oh, wait...

[Blue_State_Elitist]

26. John Kerry was never electable.

A Northeastern liberal with his activist anti-vietnam war past stood little chance against a wartime president. I worked my ass off for him, but I never thought in a million years he was the most electable Democrat out there.

[anonymous171]

27. He won the primaries because everyone thought he would do the best against Bush

Dean was my choice, but the media wouldn't have it.

[Blue_State_Elitist]

31. Dean would've done even worse.

The only possibly electable candidate in 2004 was Clark. Unfortunately in America moderates win elections while idealists become footnotes in history texts.

[CatnHat]

33. John Kerry

was a wimp.

[bhikkhu]

28. LOL - of course. Following the thread replied to.

and I am a bit too old for basketball, and was never much good anyway.

[CatnHat]

30. you got to kidding

right :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

12. Plop!

[anamandujano]

23. Looks like you're running out of ideas.

Same old post in every thread.

[LTR]

17. Those statements are pretty damn close...

...to what people on DU have been saying for the past seven years.

Where the hell have YOU been? Or is the HillCo™ crowd just too cool for the room?

[blogslut]

18. I got soul but I'm not a soldier

[Yes We Did]

22. you can't handle the truth...! Jillary McClinton - two half baked politicians got you in their hip

pocket. You are the type of person who thinks authorizing wars in which people have been killed is very unimportant. Your candidate signed on to NAFTA. Your candidate is lying about everything from sniper fire to Columbia and you are upset because Obama spoke the truth? People in PA and Ohio are bitter about their conditions. That you keep buying into Clinton's pack of lies is even more pathetic.

32. Where everybody is happy!

and your point is well made about the FR. Every troll-bait post seems to get an abundance of support here.

[Seeker30]

34. You mean like all the Clinton/Monica/penis talk

you guys spew on here constantly?

[Kaotac]

35. What's with this 'playing hoops' stuff?

Maybe when Obama is Pres, Hillary and McCain will invite you to play some lawn bowls?

[Seeker30]

36. Pick up a paper much?

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/28/obama-to-play-3-on-3-basketball-to-register-indiana-voters/

HAMMOND, Indiana (CNN) — Barack Obama will put his well-reputed basketball skills on the line in an effort to register young voters in this hoops-obsessed primary state, his campaign announced Friday.

Obama's staff is hoping the chance to play a game of 3-on-3 pick-up with the presidential candidate will entice Indiana high school students to register their friends to vote in the state's May 6 contest. Every student that signs up at least 20 new voters before Indiana's April 7 registration deadline will be eligible to be picked to play against Obama in a game the campaign is calling "The 3-on-3 Challenge for Change."

[Kaotac]

37. That sort of thing

That sort of thing doesn't get printed in Australia.
I still don't see the point of your comments though. Just seems like you're using something admirable, like getting younger people to vote, and bashing him with it.

[Seeker30]

38. Very admirable, bunch of starry eyed college kids selling 'Obama Amway'

[Kaotac]

39. Oh well.

Oh well, you're just an arse, so I wipe my hands of you.

[ima_sinnic]

41. awww, whatsamatter, those "starry-eyed college kids" aren't going to vote for HRC??

jealous much? the HRC shills sound more and more desperate. Dissing the voters, even when they're only college kids does not do your candidate much good.

now, please, grumble out some more to be thrown back at yourself.

[ima_sinnic]

40. if HRC is so "electable," why is she losing? and why won't the deadbeat pay her bills?

Maybe she should spend more time sharpening up her money-raising and money-management skills and less time hanging out with Mark Penn and "Icky."

but she might do some Pilates workouts in an uptown gym with you if you send her a few dollars to flush down her mismanaged toilet.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[laylah]

43. "Jobless people are bitter"

Well, I may not be jobless but I sure as hell am not in the field I went to school for, and graduated with Honors from, at age 50! I struggle with my mortgage, had to declare bankruptcy when I became a card-carrying member of the "Divorced Wive's Club", cannot afford badly needed health care and am buying fewer groceries to pay for gas to go to my pt $11.52 an hour job! As for the "GD America" crap, he didn't say that and any intelligent person knows better! Bitter? Hell yes, I'm bitter. The quality of life for many of us, has spiralled downward these past 8 horrific years. Sadly, it will take more than 8 to recover. If you want to slam either candidate, fine, but do so with the truth, not with RW bs talking points!

[scheming daemons]

45. Nice misdirection... he never said your first quote.....

....and you know it.

[Seeker30]

46. Who said he did?

[book_worm]

47. but he will be the nominee and Hillary won't be.

:rofl:

[otohara]

49. Unemployed Give More Money to Obama

there is this breakdown in today's paper showing that bit of info. So laugh all you want, but for some reason, the unemployed are going for hope vs going back to the 90's.

[GoldieAZ49]

50. Liberal elitist expressing their arrogance are always a winner for the party

aren't they?


Words matter

[countingbluecars]

51. You prefer lies?

[GoldieAZ49]

56. No, that is why I stopped supporting Obama

To bad we didn't find out who this guy was when all the candidates were still available
