Young Turks producer extraordinaire Jayar Jackson has put together a musical tribute to the Democratic primary race. It starts all the way at the beginning and finishes with the climactic events of this week. Take a look:
It was wild ride. Just when you thought it was over, there would always be one more turn. But now that it has finally come to an end, it is a fond memory. Now, on to the general election!

16. Gee Jim, you'll have to do better than that.
I guess you're completely satisfied with the way things are currently in this country and abroad.
Keep on voting against your best interests and go share a beer with Bush.

17. In Detroit, Obama called a woman journlist, while refusing to answer her question, "sweetie", the linguistic equivalent of calling an African American "boy".
Check youtube to see the video.
In the NH primary debate, Obama used standard sexist male sneering to disrespect Clinton. Two days later, pollsters were flabergasted when instead of Obama wining by a landslide as prediced, Clinton won an overwhelming victory. Any woman who saw that debate knows why. Women kicked Obama's sexist a**.
Do you want to have your boss at the next company meeting treat your male colleages with respect, but refer to you as "sweetie"? Get ready for it if Obama is President...

18. 2008 Final Primary Results: Hillary Clinton = 17,802,300 votes. Barack Obama = 17,501,751 votes. Winner selected by the DNC and its superdelegates? Barack Obama! In the interest of Unity, congratulations to our "winner" and thanks for the new math, Chairman Dean. It's change we can believe in!

19. Obama won't be around for long.
Obama has refused to deny that his wife engaged in a racist rant. = it is true.
One more time it will be shown that the Obamas philopophy is toxic racism.
..........
"Michelle Obama spoke at the "Women's Event", but referenced Bill Clinton in her rant --- his presence at the conference was the impetus for her raving, it seems.
For about 30 minutes, Michelle Obama launched into a rant about the evils of America, and how America is to blame for the problems of Africa. Michelle personally blamed President Clinton for the deaths of millions of Africans and said America is responsible for the genocide of the Tutsis and other ethnic groups. She then launched into an attack on "whitey", and talked about solutions to black on black crime in the realm of diverting those actions onto white America. Her rant was fueled by the crowd: they reacted strongly to what she said, so she got more passionate and enraged, and that's when she completely loses it and says things that have made the mouths drop of everyone who's seen this."

He, he, he,.... you only listed bills he "sponsored" not ones that he wrote!
LOL.. Typical Obama snake oil salesman con.
Some legislator does months or years of work to create a bill, and then get backers. All being a "sponsor" means is that you agree with a bill someone else wrote. All it takes is a telephone call..
Boy, Obama in 12 years made may 100 phone calls! Wow ! He did not vote, or declined to state his opinion on about half of all legislation ....those 100, 1 minute phone calls over 12 years must have tuckered him out.

21. Yup, all you redneck racist cowboy clowns can piss and moan all you want. But then again, you're all the ones who bought the Hummers and thought you were being defiant against those hippy-dippy environmentalists. You were the ones going on racist tirades when Bush and Co ignored Katrina. You're the ones that screamed Anti-American at anyone who said the run up to the war waas full of holes and inconsistancies.
George Monkeyboy's approval rating is now at 25%; the lowest since data was started to be kept. McCain's public approval has been steadily declining since he's been named the GOP candidate.
Yup - you all better get used to saying it: President Barrack Obama.

23. some of the comments on this blog are ridiculous - listing off the names of the bills obama has sponsored, who cares!! he's a senator - he'll probably sponsor SOMETHING...but what legislation has he actually written, what policies has he generated, what committees has he spearheaded that give him anywhere NEAR the level (and DECADES) of experience that qualifies mccain to be the most powerful man on earth?!?! people are so easily taken in by his charisma and rhetoric, and i'll agree that he's one of the best orators we've seen in a long time...but that doesn't take the place of actual substance! "hope" and "change" look like what? not being george w. bush? fine, but exactly what IS that? i've talked to a lot of democrats who can't give me an answer...scary!!!!

26. British thoughts on Democrat primary
The Democrat Primary 2008 is a time of gloating, unshackled sexism of the ugliest kind. A moment in which things like the formation of a Hillary-bashing political action group "Citizens United Not Timid," a "South Park" eposide featuring a nuclear weapon hidden in Hillary's vagina, and Internet Sales of a Hillary nutcracker with shark-like teeth between her legs, passed largely with out mainstream media notice.
I would say however that it's less about sexism and more about the "Permission to Hate" that liberals reserve for themselves.. The reality is that Black Men who run afoul of the political liberal elites are treated with open racism, Jews with open antisemitism, and womaen with open sexism.
Having declared themselves the defenders of political correctness, like all moral leaders, liberals give themselves permission to hypocritically violate their own moral strictures. The flip side of self-rightcousness is license. It's why the greatest sexual purists turn out to be the greatest sexual perverts, religious leaders turn out to be atheists in all but name and those so staunchly in favor of everyone's rights, care about noe's rights at all and have nothing but contempt for the people they protect.
Many woman with shock are now realizing just how disposable theye are to the very same people they thought were in the business of protecting theoir rights, who turn out to have the deepest hatred and contempt for them.
But that shouldn't come as any surprise. In fact it's really nothing new. Race has always trumped gender for liberals and on the liberal totem pole, women rank somewhere above the rank of gays, but well below most of the racial minorities, excxept Jews and Asians who are somewhere near the bottom.
This is what the British Press think of the 2008 Democrat Hate Primary. Article was printed in numerous English newspapers and the New Statesman.

27. mr Botts,
those list of accomplishments must have been when he was in the Illinios legistlature mostly. I would like to know what he has done in the US Senate as far as initiating legislation, not just co-sponsoring it. To be fair, he has only been in the US Senate for 4 years, so one must look at what he has done in Illinios.
in fairness to bttybb, However, I do believe his ties to those vitrolic preachers is very troublesome indeed. As far as his wife goes, I pray that she did not go on that rant. Very unfortunate. And yes it does matter what she says, if she wants to be first lady (she is not running for office yes, but by her marriage and support of him, she has thrust herself in the public eye). does anyone remember what happened to a woman named Hillary Clinton??

28. Iran launches a Nuclear Attack on Israel, what would President Obama's response be????????????????
Hillary was asked that question and she said she would obliterate Iran. Hillary was blasted for taking such a drastic action. Was Hillary's response wrong? No one has yet to say what Obama's response would be to an Iranian Nuclear attack on Israel. Best Obama has said is he would keep all options on the table, including military options. So is that where a the military option would stay, on the table, in the event of a Iranian Nuclear attack on Israel?
This is not an unreasonable question since Iran keeps saying it will "obliterate" Israel. Yet, still no answers to that question. Can't shut the Obamassiah fans up, but cannot get a reply on this one.

29. Shining Moment?
What are you smoking?! :))
Operation Chaos, which kept Hillary in as long as possible when it became obvious that the Mainstream Media was in love with Obama and pushed him through, exposed the Demcorats for who they are>
It was a dirty bloodbath!
ONLY MCCAIN in November.

30. This boy Obama is clueless beyond infinity.
I listened to what he said about our energy crisis, how we needed to fix it.
His words "We need to develop renewable energy sources, we need to drive more fuel efficient cars, we need to become less dependent on foreign oil"! The audience went wild!
Well Jr., you can match wits with "who's smarter than a 5th grader" with your dynamic assessment of America's largest immediate economic problem.
Oil importation is our number one issue & if any of you "deep thinkers" are convinced that Obama's liberal partisan association is going to allow him to tackle our number one problem you're just a damned fool. The liberals are too "stupid proud" to admit they've made the largest mistake in our history not allowing full scale energy production for our beast of an economy. We don't even have clean air today to show for it!
We say in the south you can't get blood out of a turnip, Obama WON'T be allowed to extract necessary energy because of his shackled misled ideology & is the unwilling variable to a relatively easy point of resolution... Someone has got to be practical here.
