Howard Dean should RESIGN! He's the WORST!

CAROLINA7:02PMApr 30th 2008

PELOSI, DEAN, REID, KENNEDY AND KERRY HAVE DESTROYED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. WE KNOW PELOSI WANTS TO BE THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT BUT THIS WAS NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT!

Maybe Barack Hussein Obama is a 47 year old Schizophrenic (by definition) who never got over being born of a black Muslim man and a white Atheist woman and was mostly raised by a typical white grandmother in Hawaii.

Schizophrenia is a biological illness that impairs a person’s ability to think clearly, manage his or her emotions, make decisions, and relate to others. It is not caused, as was once thought, by poor parenting or weakness in a person’s character.

MICHELLE NEEDS MORE “WHITE” PEOPLE --- OBAMA NEEDS MORE “DUMB” PEOPLE!

THIS JUST IN: “WE NEED MORE DUMB PEOPLE”

Obama is forming the backdrop for his November aspirations: 5 yellow people, 4 brown people, 20 white people, 1 black person, 4 green people, 20 purple people and 55 “million” dumb people required.

The Obama committee will move people around from where they were sitting to have more “dumb” people in the front row, sitting directly behind Obama, to cheer him on.

Obama, Michelle, Pelosi, Dean, Reid, Kennedy, Kerry, bomber Ayers and GD America Jeremiah Wright are stuck on stupid! THEY THINK WE HAVE 48 STATES --- NOT 50!

DON’T YOU JUST LOVE IT!

Again, we will see how nice the Republicans play come this September and October with their ads. This you can bet on - they won't. McCain can grandstand all he wants about running a different kind of campaign - the RNC will tell him to sit down and shut up. They pretty much already have.

CONCERNED7:58PMApr 30th 2008

WHY IS O’REILLY PROTECTING OBAMA — THE CANDIDATE WE DON’T KNOW?

THE QUESTION IS: WHO IS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA?

THE ANSWER IS: NOBODY KNOWS.

BILL SHOULD NOT INTERVIEW HILLARY TONIGHT AND ASK HARD QUESTIONS UNLESS HE DOES THE SAME TO OBAMA.

INDIANA AND NORTH CAROLINA HAVE NOT VOTED YET.

OBAMA WON'T GO ON O'REILLY UNTIL AFTER MORE STATES VOTE. HE IS A LYING "CHICKEN". ARE ALL THE CHICKENS COMING HOME TO ROOST?

THIS IS NOT FAIR AND BALANCED.

tzada8:03PMApr 30th 2008

Maybe some one will run an ad about this.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported August 3, 2001:

Superior Bank, half-owned by the wealthy Pritzker family, was shut down by the FDIC Friday after a bailout plan by the Pritzkers, who own the Hyatt Hotel chain, and their partner, New York real estate developer Alvin Dworman, fell through. The bank failed because it had lost nearly all of its more than $2 billion of assets on bad loans to high-risk borrowers, federal regulators said.

... when is someone going to talk about Obama's financial campaign chairman - Penny Pritzker, that cost the Federal Government - taxpayers one billion dollars when Superior Bank failed, and 450 million dollars still owed to the FDIC - and they gave her 15 years to pay back - no interest.

The bank engaged in deceptive and faulty lending, questionable accounting practices, and charged hidden fees. It made thousands of dubious loans to mostly poor, strapped homeowners. A disproportionate number of them were minority.

These questions need to be asked and answered.

Mr. Obama, why does she still have a principal financial role in your campaign?
Mr Obama, if Obama elected will you waive this money owed?

Barack Obama talks how hundreds have lost in the sub prime mess. It seems like the only person to come out well was his finance manager. And he knows it.
Guess that is just the “Chicago Way”.

Note:
*She was also on the finance committee for Obama’s 2004 campaign for the U.S. Senate.
http://loanworkout.org/2008/03/25/obama-penny-pritzker/ Another article

And guess who bought the servicing portfolio rights of the failed bank? From the FDIC:
The assets were sold to EMC Mortgage Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bear Stearns & Co., Inc.. The FDIC recovered $517 million (net) from the residual interest portfolio since Superior’s failure on July 27, 2001, including $471 million in sales proceeds. The transfer of the servicing rights to EMC Mortgage Corporation is expected to be completed by the end of June.
So the glorious Federal Reserve bails out Bear Stearns, TO THE TUNE OF $30 BILLION and Bear Stearns was involved in buying all the toxic crap from Superior Bank in 2001? Holy smokes Batman! What the hell is going on here? I am sure the guys at Bear packaged and sold that stuff fast. Rinse and repeat. They now have found the new business model that they will duplicate over and over to where we sit today folks

Memo to the DNC --- End the Drama - Pull the Plug on Obama!!!!

Obama is unelectable. The whole point is that Obama cant just give a 'speech' again, that will just contradict every speeches he gave before. Obama calls him my "UNCLE" and soul "MENTOR" when things go right. OBAMA now saying he is not my PASTOR anymore? His "UNCLE" and soul "MENTOR" for over 20 years. Like Wright said, OBAMA will say things as a politician and these are one of them.

Wright has been consistent. He is the same guy he was on those tapes 7 years ago. 10 years ago. 20 years ago. He was the same guy all along. Obama suggesting he is OUTRAGED only now, but not over the last 20 years is literally impossible.

There are liberal media who still thinks he will be the next president, and I can tell you nowhere near as many people today think he will be as they did last week or 6 weeks ago. They will STILL try to spin it for Obama.

Now we know why all the Obama supporters tried to FORCE Clinton out after Ohio and Texas, when they were SURE Obama would win those states and knock her out. Well, he lost there and then he lost big in PA after calling the HARD WORKING BLUE COLLAR AMERICANS "BITTER" so they cling to GUNS, RELIGION and ANTIPATHY? How stupid OBAMA can get assuming we will easily forget about his "BITTER" comments? He does not share my views and millions of hard working BLUE COLLARS in AMERICA and we will never forget and never vote for him.

The Wright situation will NOT go away.

The bomber Ayers situation will not disappear.

The "Bitter" comment had damaged his relationship with BLUE COLLAR WORKERS forever.

The Unpatriotic and Plagiarism issues will always be an issue.

The rank 1st Liberal Senator will always be his picture that every Conservatives wouldn't want to see
His involvement with indicted businessman REZKO will hunt him down a month or few from now.

THERE ARE SO MANY MORE GUNS THE REPUBLICANS CAN USE AGAINST OBAMA!

MOST OF ALL, He sat in the pew for 20 years. You can’t wish 20 years of your personal life away with a “pretty” speech.

HILLARY OR McCAIN IN 2008!

MAY 9TH CONFIRM, CORONATE, BUT STOP MAULING!

Every news crawl on every new channel of every talking head is reporting that in fact all the "Super-Delegates" have in fact not only decided how they are going to vote and just who their candidate is, but have informed those candidates of who they intend to support as the Democratic Candidate for the "General Election".

So, "Super-Delegates" Isn't it time to take the heat? Either you Coronate (D-NY) US/Senator Hillary Diane Rodham-Clinton as your choice over the "Will of The People", or you Confirm the "Will of the People" as based upon number of states, "Pledged Delegates", Territories, American Oversea's Caucus won. But, end what has been up to now a Clinton Vetting of Obama? Because after May 9th it is no longer a vetting it is then nothing more than a mauling.

May 9th the vetting turns into mauling, you know your decision, let's have it!

BITTERRURALAMERICAN8:26PMApr 30th 2008

Sorry Obama supporters...I firmly believe you are making a MAJOR mistake.

I would never consider voting for a man who did not stand up for America in his church, or to a hate-spewing, America-damning, so-called "spiritual” mentor-"pastor".

If Obama could not stand up for America there, in his church, with that man (OVER A 20-YEAR PERIOD), I do not expect him to stand up for America when it counts!!!

NOW THAT HIS POLL NUMBERS ARE DROPPING --- HE DENOUNCES WRIGHT --- TOO LITTLE --- TOO LATE!

HILLARY 2008!

Pete9:39PMApr 30th 2008

Caleb,

I would be especially careful with your quotes here. You seem to be parsing the quotes; you report only the juicy bits while leaving out the context. Here, you are dangerously close to making the DNC seem like a bunch of bold liars, when the actual report reveals that they were merely being creative with statistics. Essentially, none of their numbers were wrong at all; they were just derived in different ways.

That being said, please take this caution to heart. You don't want people to have reason to accuse you of misrepresenting the story.

Pete

Ben10:25PMApr 30th 2008

Caleb,

Please ignore the poster above me name of Pete. He apparently can't read. At factcheck.com it quite clearly says "Nevertheless, two of the DNC's factual claims are UNTRUE (as in the opposite of true, as in false, as in an otherwise incorrect statement and just to be quite clear here, NOT differently derived)."

I'm sure Caleb's grateful for your concern Pete, however, if you plan on being a blog lifeguard you'd better know how to swim.

Thank you BEN for presenting factual arguments to the "Lefty Pete".
Lefty Pete and Democrats have twisted McCain's statement, that included "...as long as Americans are not being injuried or harmed or wounded or killed.", into 100 years of war talking points for consumtion to a gullible public.

Somehow there are two Pete's here, I'm the "right" one.

Joe1:15AMMay 1st 2008

Let’s be clear. Obama used VERY POOR JUDGMENT to wait until Rev Wright engaged in a full-fledged public racial fire-storm this week.

Obama used POOR JUDGMENT not to denounce Wright weeks ago when the issues of his church came to light.

Obama used POOR JUDGMENT in ignoring the values of his church and Reverend for 20 years.

Was this week's new found good judgment part of his theme for “change” or was it really just slick politics that made Obama finally denounce them.

Do we REALLY TRUST this guy? Sounds like POOR JUDGMENT is leading “change.”

JOHN MANN4:55AMMay 1st 2008

Barack Obama is closing in on Democratic presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton's advantage among superdelegates, building on his lead in the primary race. Obama has dozens of secret superdelegates.

Capitol Hill insiders say the battle for those congressional superdelegates is over, and one Senate supporter of Barack Obama is hinting strongly that he has prevailed over Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) says, " the majority of superdelegates I have talked to are committed."
The majority of superdelegates I've talked to are committed". When McCaskill was asked which way the committed-but-unannounced superdelegates are leaning, she said: "James Brown would say, " I Feel Good".

May report: "Obama currently holds an 18-13 lead among committed superdelegates in the Senate, while Clinton holds a 77-74 lead in the House".

Recently: aquired added to the openly-committed superdelegates; three.

JOHN PAUL5:29AMMay 1st 2008

Don't believe the media crap about taking this to the convention. The superdelegates did the Clintons the favor of waiting until after Pennsylvania and now they are just waiting for Obama to win another state to start declaring ... This race is over, my friends.

Pennsylvania Voter5:47AMMay 1st 2008

Wish we could impeach Dean, but then we didn't get
to elect him. What an awful mess he has made of the DNC and what the heck did he think would happen with Florida and Michigan? He could have saved face with supporting a revote, but no not him. Instead he obviously and openly supported Obama over Hillary and to heck with 2 of the 50 states. Dean needs to get out of there so the DNC can get moving as he is a disgrace. I don't care who he is for, but Florida and Michigan show he is missing something upstairs.

Obama did advertise in Florida. I was there visiting at the time of the primary, all I saw was ad after ad on TV and only Obama ads, no others. How can he say he didn't campaign, he sure did on TV and Hillary didn't.

SMALL-TOWNGIRL11:57AMMay 1st 2008

PELOSI, DEAN, REID, KENNEDY AND KERRY HAVE DESTROYED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. WE KNOW PELOSI WANTS TO BE THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT AND THEY HAVE PUSHED OBAMA DOWN OUR THROATS TO KEEP HILLARY OUT. THEY SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS — TOO LITTLE — TOO LATE. VOTE THEM ALL OUT IN NOVEMBER! WE NEED REPRESENTATIVES WHO WILL STAND UP FOR AMERICANS --- NOT JUST FOR THEMSELVES!

HAD THE DNC AND THE BIASED MEDIA TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT GOLDEN BOY OBAMA — BEFORE HALF OF AMERICA HAD VOTED — HE WOULDN’T BE IN THIS RACE.

NOW THAT MOST OF AMERICA HAS VOTED, AND FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN HAVEN’T BEEN COUNTED, OBAMA “DENOUNCES” JEREMIAH WRIGHT.

HE IS A TYPICAL CON-MAN POLITICIAN WHO WILL SAY AND DO ANYTHING TO GET WHAT HE WANTS! LAST MONTH HIS “UNCLE” WAS SOMEONE HE COULD NEVER DENOUNCE — NOW THAT THE POLLS ARE GOING DOWN — SO IS PASTOR WRIGHT!

OBAMA HAS RUN HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN ON LIES.

DON'T FORGET HIS TIES TO ANTI-AMERICANS AND TERRORISTS --- BOMBER AYERS, REZKO, FARRAKHAN, AMONG OTHERS --- AS WELL AS HIS WIFE'S ANTI-AMERICAN COMMENTS --- IT’S SAD THAT AN ANTI-AMERICAN IS HEADING UP THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

McCAIN WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER!
