"THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!"
I'd like to say thank you and Good Job to all the Obama supporters who complained to the media about the horrible job ABC did with the debate!!!!



It appears that attacking the media over how IT handles a debate isn't working in Obama's favor!

I guess they don't like it when they get sideswiped by supporters of the guy they've been going so easy on.

You got greedy!!!!



CNN just did a segment talking about how THE TOUGH GET GOING, with comments like

"There's no crying in baseball!" "This is Tiddlywinks"! and Blitzer noting that if a candidate thinks this is hard, just wait until the GE!



Hillary is out there saying she can handle anything the Rethugs lob at (true!) and if Obama can't, well.....

She looks like the Rock of Gibraltar that she is, grace under fire,

While he looks like a petulant teenager aided by him also supposedly giving her the finger!!!



Here's the best link of that I found:

SO, please, Stop...you're all killin' me!!!!

The Meltdown Continues!!!!

Edited on Fri Apr-18-08 04:52 PM by SemiCharmedQuark
What was that?

That was at least pouting in baseball.

9. That's a weaselly dodge... debate moderators must be impartial
Presidential debate are not and should not be the same as going on Fox News.
They've been run for over 230 years with some modicum of integrity.

There is no excuse for this. None.

39. Boo hoo. They did Obama a favor
I agree that Bill Moyers, Ray Suarez and Gwen Ifill would have done a much better job but network TV? What do you expect? Russert and Williams were also terrible.

14. LOL - you hillary supporters are such a hoot
You all have been crying that she is picked on because she is a woman and the media has been unfair and whhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa

Oh and Keith Olbermann is dead to you as is Stephanie as is Rachel

Bill Richardsaon, Ted Kennedy, Chris Dodd, the list goes on and on because they pick on hillary because she is a girl.

Why don't you guys put the stones down, sit in your little glass houses with the cracks in the panes and do something positive for her campaign.

Hell post something positive, go raise some money, phone bank, email your friends with her good qualities.

Just stop being the friggin hypocrites you all are being.

15. Rocky doesn't play baseball. So which Rocky is she, the fighter or the squirrel?
Make up your mind, what "new" character is Hillary acting like today?

GI Jane?
Rocky?
Pollyana?
Or Little Miss Pissy Pants, her all-time fav?

Ya know, if she doesn't get her way she's going to start throwing her bookbag around again.

18. I remember Obama in near tears before NH because he was overcome that he was losing
No wait - that was HRC, who was incidentally never under sniper fire.

Also who was that scary angry guy - all red faced and angry - wagging his finger telling us off - I think that was Bill Clinton.

Neither are grace under pressure.

19. That's funny
Because Newsweek has Obama 19 points ahead of Hillary in the polls as of today.

http://www.newsweek.com/id/132721

Here is a clue: no one gives a crap what the MSM is peddling any more. The people are on to their bullshit. I am not afraid of them. If these moribund talking heads want to pretend that they have no duty to the public trust, fine, but it will do them no good.

Nor will wallowing in the mud with them and the Republicans as allies of convenience. You should bear that in mind, Lula.

20. Unless you're a "girl".
Hillary has repeatedly claimed unfair treatment. Bill referred to her as a "girl" that shouldn't be "picked-on". And, she deserves "points" because it take her "longer to get ready".

24. Well, I'm going to email ABC and ask them to please have one
more debate and be sure to spend the first hour asking Hillary how she'll respond to the attacks about Bill's bimbos, intern sex in the Oval Office, stained blue dresses and the case the GOP (Republicans, not Goddess of Peace) will make about Bill Clinton not deserving to be in the White House again. What do you say, LulaMay? Good idea, huh?

27. I'd pay good money to see that kind of "debate."
But only if there were no moderators or anyone in the audience allowed who had ever cheated on anyone, or been married to someone who cheated on them.

25. bunker mentality candidacy
Hillary and Bill are to the stage where people are tired of
the division, scandal, destructive politics, and the two faced
aspects of their actions versus their rhetoric.

Hillary to me has become a Clinton dynasty warrior, always
battling for the Clinton banner, against anyone, at any time,
for any reason. It is her prime objective. I believe people
are honestly seeing that when they need a leader who is all
about the entire nation, she is auditioning as a ruthless
fighter who is all about herself.

I do feel sorry for the millions of women who are so wanting
a woman president, I wish there was a choice of one right now
who didn't have the training of defending Bill Clinton until
it made them only able to fight at the forfeiture of being able
to lead.

30. Obama does appear whining and weak ---
And it certainly does look like he's giving the finger -- his audience obviously thought something of it.

33. Well it's in keeping with the OP you see
Obama is in fact whining -- Not at all Presidential.

It's also amazingly hypocritical of Obama to talk about the foul state of politics -- when those who've watched closely know just how dirty he and his campaign operates. Of course, much of it is done surreptitiously, which is why I suspect Obama of giving the finger -- it fits his MO -- very slick.

38. Grown men do cry
at baseball and football.

And many men cry for other reasons too - at compelling times of great emotion. men who don't cry are probably emotionally blunted and damaged.

(I realize this has nothing to do with your post but I was thinking about that photo in Swamp Rat's sig line. Where the tears are streaming down the man's face and one can only imagine the back story. And I was thinking about when men alow themselves to cry and when they struggle so hard not to.)

just a few months ago

You all forget how loudly she complained, how much you all have whined about how unfair the media has been to her.

... about always getting asked the first question at debates (though untrue; shocking)? And who constantly whines about rough treatment by the media?

Crock of Gibraltar, more like it.
