Obama admin's OPM, headed by a gay man, reportedly blocks lesbian from getting health benefits
this 'elitist' BS is straight off rush limbaugh...he loves to whip up the uber-wingers by telling them that the "elite dems" think they're all stupid, ignorant, backwoods, doofuses. so i see why McWannabe jumps on it... why is Hillary saying that same thing?
First it was 'Roosh Limbugstein' with his EVIL IN BRODCASTING NETWORK and his continued attack on the AMERICAN GENTILES WITH HIS 'LET THEM EAT CAKE' PROPAGANDA AND HIS 'OPERATION JUDAS CHAOS' where he is telling 'Repubs' to vote for Hillary (BECAUSE RUSH CANNOT STOMACH OBAMA AS PRES -- SO MUCH THAT HE'D RATHER HAVE H'RE, WHO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT ROOSH SHOULD BE CAREFUL WHAT HE ASKS FOR).
Then there is the Shorn LepriCONNITY with his INSANE AND PENGUIN-LIKE VOICE (AS IN BATMAN'S 'PENGUIN' ) CONSTANTLY ATTACKING OBAMA AND 'LIBERALS.'
Take away the word 'Liberal' and put in 'Communitst' or 'Jew' or 'Jehova Witness,' or 'Slav' and YOU HAVE AN EXACT COPY OF THE TYPE OF PROPAGANDA SPEWED BY THE AXIS BEFORE AND DURING WORLD WAR II.
Shorn IS WILLING TO WATCH AMERICA SINK INTO A DEPRESSION THAT IS CAUSED IN PART BY THE LOWERING OF THE AMERICAN
DOLLAR -- the effect of SO-CALLED 'ALLIES' ABANDONING THE AMERICAN DOLLAR -- OR WORSE YET, REFUSING TO LIVE AT PEACE WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS AND HAVING OUR PEOPLE SACRIFICE TO PROTECT THEIR BACKSIDES.
Shorn Connity, Roosh Limbugstein, unKoolterberg, O'really, Savarage Nazion, Scarfaceborough, Squeal 'like a swine' Borktzstein and all these people ARE PAID BY THEIR MASTERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA AND THE FAR EAST. They are told what to say (just as certain ethnic groups in the US WERE TOLD TO VOTE FOR H'RE AND THE MESSAGE WAS PASSED ON THROUGH 'TEXT MESSAGING.'
Regardless of how many 'conservatives' that Roosh and Connity pretend to have rapport with -- THEY ARE ABOUT RATINGS AND THEIR GOD THE DOLLAR$$$$. They don't care one bit about the AMERICAN PEOPLE -- OTHERWISE THE RUSH JUDAS LIMBUSTEIN AND SHORN THE CON-CONNITY WOULD NOT DO ALL THEY CAN DAY IN AND DAY OUT TO SPLIT THE US AND SPREAD HATRED USING THE SAME PUTRID PROPAGANDA THAT THE NAZIS USED DURING AND BEFORE WORLD WAR II.
THE 'JUDAS MEDIA' INTERVIEWS THE 'FEMINIST CANDIDATE'
WARNING: Don't eat or drink while reading this 'skit' because it is a total LAUGH-O-LYMPICS.
http://blackmalepowermovement.forumsland.com/bl...
ROOSH 'QUISLING' LIMBUSTEIN AND SHORN CONNITY HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT DIVIDING THE AMERICAN GENTILES.
NOW THEY ARE ATTEMPTING A POLITICAL 'CRUCIFIXION' OF OBAMA...GEE...IT SEEMS TRUE THAT HISTORY DOES REPEAT -- SADLY, THE SAME PLAYERS ARE AT THEIR EVIL GAME AGAIN.
MORE ON THE TRICKS OF THE JUDAS MEDIA:
http://www.blackplanet.com/news/my_news.html?p=...
ROOSH LIMBLOW, SHORN CONNITY, BORKZSTEIN, SAVARAGE, HORRORS-WITS, unKOLTERBERG, AND ALL THESE 'GENTILE HATERS' ARE GIVING JEWISH PEOPLE A BAD NAME.
THEY OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR USING THE SAME TYPE OF PROPAGANDA TO DEMONIZE 'PROGRESSIVES' THAT THE NAZIS USED TO DEMONIZE THEIR PARENTS (AND THOSE WHO FLED GERMANY IN THE 1940'S, AND ARE TODAY BEHIND THE RACIST MEDIA THAT COMES OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST, HOLLYWOOD, NEW YORK, AUSTRALIA, EUROPE AND ELSEWHERE.
WHY WHITE MALES FROM THE WEST AND NORTH SUPPORT OBAMA -- THEY ARE FED UP WITH THEIR SONS BEING SENT TO PROTRECT THE BACKSIDES OF ROOSH LIMBLOW'S AND SHORN CONNITY'S MASTERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, KOREA, EAST ASIA, EUROPE AND ELSEWHERE, COSTING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

this link should work
Of does it matter who is the poor candidate?
"Don't worry, be happy."
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha,oh and he likes orange juice,how commie!
Obama's experience as a community organizer was working with displaced workers from shuttered steel mills.
He knows what these people are feeling and how they tick.
Hillary and McCain may have talked to one or two on the campaign trail, but most of their professional experience has been with the wine and brie sect.
I have an idea at the next CNN presidential debate, let Cafferty ask the questions. Do you want to see the candidates squirm. Would they even show up?
He reminded me of the 1992 "It's the Economy, Stupid" Bubba.
It was a powerful message, no matter what I think of Bubba now.
YOU GO OBAMA, AND DON'T APOLOGIZE TO THESE IDIOTS.
THE TRUTH IS YOUR POWER AND THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE!
I LOVE YOU AMERICA!

How would any of you like it if your pay was cut not just in half, but was a third of what you used to make? Working for 1980s wages is just not cutting it for millions of Americans. And for those who can't afford higher education, the outlook is even more bleak. Imagine being 50 years old, doing essentially the same work for 30 years and being expected to afford college and retraining for jobs that even younger, more educated people are vying for.
http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.d...
Yes, there's a LOT of bitterness out there in the US. When you can stop at a McDonald's in Charlotte, NC and not have a single person speaking enough English you can understand, what are you to think? When you've worked in construction all your life and are still driving that 1990 Ford 150 because your pay has been downgraded by illegal labor for years (and who are now driving SUVs and brand new trucks AND sending money back home), what are you to think? And with the rising price of commodities, with your pay stuck at 1980 levels, you'll never be able to get ahead again, you're either just treading water, or falling back. If boomers think they're going to be able to get a part time grocery clerk's job or anything else similar to supplement their income, they're wrong. And their grandchildren won't even be able to get those afterschool and summertime jobs, either (which incidentally taught many teens something about the work ethic and being independent and helped supplement the family income). And if you believe these concerns are just coming from "white racists" then you haven't been paying enough attention to black voters, either.
There is still one hell of a big elephant in the room. And although I support Obama, NONE of the candidates (and NO politician) has the balls to confront it. It's no longer just an individual's problem or a localized problem, it's a national problem that's being swept under the rug. The cheap labor policies of the ruling class have been shoved down our throats for far too long, at the expense of those with the least voice.
Roger Waters Thinks Hillary Clinton Will Invade Iran
4/11/2008 By Scott A. Gray
Unlike rapper DMX, Roger Waters knows what the fuck a Barack is, and he knows he’d rather see him in the Oval Office than “the ghastly Hillary.” The Pink Floyd dictator, though ineligible to vote, said he’d “buy a whole page in The New York Times and fly Obama’s flag.” The New York dwelling Brit added, “But I would be terribly afraid they’d go, ‘This is that pinko shitbag who’s attacking our President in [a] time of war,’”
Waters expressed fears that Clinton will strive to measure up to her male predecessors with a touch of imperialist ultra-violence.
“Please, God, let’s not have this woman! Hillary will want to make her mark and show that she can be just as good as a male president, and she will fucking invade Iran.”
http://www.exclaim.ca/articles/generalarticlesy...
Camille Paglia said it best: "I agree that the male staff who Hillary attracts are slick, geeky weasels or rancid, asexual cream puffs ... All those seething beta males (as you so aptly describe them) are versions of her sad-sack brothers, who got the short end of the Rodham DNA stick."
http://www.salon.com/opinion/paglia/2008/04/09/...
All points I would like answered. LIKE NOW!
They team-up because Hillary, like Joe Lieberman and John McCain are batshit crazy.
Hillary WILL lead us to more WAR and DEATH, which she, for whatever reason just can't seem to get enough of.
Frankly, an out of control Hillary with the imperial powers Congress has bestowed upon Bush, would see the globe in flames.
She is that detached from humanity.
2 guys were laughing at her response and didn't stand up to clap etc.
2 woman were laughing to each other and only stood up after others around them did.
The staged photo op people thought her comments were BS, that's too dam funny !!
McCain. Lieberman. And every other right-wing loon she can fellate behind the scenes.

News: For 15 years, Hillary Clinton has been part of a secretive religious group that seeks to bring Jesus back to Capitol Hill. Is she triangulating—or living her faith?
It was an elegant example of the Clinton style, a rhetorical maneuver subtle, bold, and banal all at once. During a Democratic candidate forum in June, hosted by the liberal evangelical group Sojourners, Hillary Clinton fielded a softball query about Bill's infidelity: How had her faith gotten her through the Lewinsky scandal?
After a glancing shot at Republican "pharisees," Clinton explained that, of course, her "very serious" grounding in faith had helped her weather the affair. But she had also relied on the "extended faith family" that came to her aid, "people whom I knew who were literally praying for me in prayer chains, who were prayer warriors for me."
Such references to spiritual warfare—prayer as battle against Satan, evil, and sin—might seem like heavy evangelical rhetoric for the senator from New York, but they went over well with the Sojourners audience, as did her call to "inject faith into policy." It was language that recalled Clinton's Jesus moment a year earlier, when she'd summoned the Bible to decry a Republican anti-immigrant initiative that she said would "criminalize the good Samaritan...and even Jesus himself." Liberal Christians crowed ("Hillary Clinton Shows the Way Democrats Can Use the Bible," declared a blogger at TPMCafe) while conservative pundits cried foul, accusing Clinton of scoring points with a faith not really her own.
In fact, Clinton's God talk is more complicated—and more deeply rooted—than either fans or foes would have it, a revelation not just of her determination to out-Jesus the gop, but of the powerful religious strand in her own politics. Over the past year, we've interviewed dozens of Clinton's friends, mentors, and pastors about her faith, her politics, and how each shapes the other. And while media reports tend to characterize Clinton's subtle recalibration of tone and style as part of the Democrats' broader move to recapture the terrain of "moral values," those who know her say there's far more to it than that.
Through all of her years in Washington, Clinton has been an active participant in conservative Bible study and prayer circles that are part of a secretive Capitol Hill group known as the Fellowship. Her collaborations with right-wingers such as Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) and former Senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) grow in part from that connection. "A lot of evangelicals would see that as just cynical exploitation," says the Reverend Rob Schenck, a former leader of the militant anti-abortion group Operation Rescue who now ministers to decision makers in Washington. "I don't....there is a real good that is infected in people when they are around Jesus talk, and open Bibles, and prayer."

In late May and early June 1984, Hart was locked in a tight New Jersey primary contest he had to win to deny Mondale a first-ballot nomination at the Democratic convention the following month. At a California fundraiser eerily reminiscent of Obama's this week, Hart and his wife Lee spoke with reporters at a Los Angeles event. In one moment of carelessness, Hart, too, struck a nerve with voters in a critical state. As Time recalled:
Hart went from closing fast on Mondale in the Garden State to a decisive 15 point blowout a week later. Mondale went on to sew up the Democratic nomination thanks to the delegates he swept in New Jersey. The rest, as they say, is history.
For more on the history and worrisome parallels, see:
"Will Obama Relive Hart's '84 New Jersey Nightmare in Pennsylvania?"
this is partly why

Calling Obama "elitist" is code for "uppity."---
i second that.
40 NASA Workers On Same Floor Diagnosed With Cancer
The union that represents hundreds of scientists and other workers said nearly half of the 100 employees on the third floor of the building have been diagnosed with various forms of cancer in the past three to four years.
"What we've seen in the way of cancer here has just been astronomical on this third floor alone and we're just a little scared," said Dennis Pehotsky, of the Lewis Engineers and Scientists Association.
In a written statement, the head of safety at NASA Glenn said an employee survey shows cancer rates among workers are within the normal range, saying "Glenn management has no evidence of the number of cases that the union is reporting."

gloria, how much are the clintons worth ?? where did hillary go ?? isn't it obvious ?? it's that "wellesley / yale thing"
or mccain, how much is his wife worth ?? itsn't it obvious ?? it's that private boarding school thing
Man, that statement from McCain also....these people are flat-out NUTS...I mean insane, batshit insane.
They show OH SO CLEARLY what the problem with Washington has been for the last years. This bullshit act, of outrage (that there is NO WAY in the world they are feeling at ALL...they just think they can prime the pump and get others to feel it, but they do it so phonily, no way it will catch.)

Obama Slams Critics on Middle-Class Comments
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/04/11/o...
He can tell the American people direct "YOU are not as obtuse and ridiculous as Mc Caine and Clinton would lilke to pretend. Look at them, I said something clearly, that is true, and they want to pretend it meant something NO ONE else got out of it. If they have this much trouble really, understanding a american born and bred, speaking english, HOW in the world will they fare talking to leaders who English is a second language to?"
Let 'em have it Obama. America has had enough of the feigned indignance, the purposerly misunderstood line...
It's the same crap as pretending being against this awful mistake of a war is being "against the troops".
It's time to get back to reality. Time to stop letting any dickhead that wants to, be able to distract us with this kind of bullshit. Hillary is starting to make me feel like I have any time I've seen Bush in the last few years, unclean and like I just threw up a little in my throat. That shit eatin grin she tries to hide, as she waits to give her OH SO CLEVER pretend arguments...she thinks she's scoring points, but she's a flyweight, and she focused on the wrong target....meanwhile the adults around here have better things to do than pretend Obama was saying they were "bitter" as something other than it was.
It is all so nice these days and we are all so happy. Pie in the sky by and pie.
Regarding Hillary's comments: Just absurd. She has nothing of substance to attack Obama on, so she's trying to create issues where none exist. All three newscasters saw through it, so will the public. Especially since Obama's point was that there's a lot of anger out there at the Bushies for their economic decisions, which have shifted wealth to the wealthiest, given no-bid multi-million contracts to crooks, helped his campaign supporters with huge tax-payer funded bailouts, etc. While everyone else is left with wages that don't keep up with inflation, rising gas and food prices, homes that are losing value, etc.
Sounds like Hillary's trying to run on it too.
Can't you picture the Hillary team pouring over every Obama word, looking for the tiniest slip from him to use for an attack. That is what they have been reduced to, what they reduced themselves to. Goddamn them all.
I wish I had your confidence that the public will see through them and their nasty tactics. Look at how quickly they folded over the words of Obama's pastor. The public does not want truth.
My confidence comes from the numbers: Bush's latest poll numbers show he's even losing among his base, which can't be good for McSame. Obama is already in all but name our presumptive Dem nominee.
Yeah, I can see Hillary pouring over Obama's speeches just as you say. But you know what...she's already lost. Pennsylvania is going to be close and she needed a big win there. I could go on...she doesn't have the numbers in any of the categories: popular vote, states, pledged delegates and she's losing supers.
Most people will have forgotten this by the time we select our nominee and start going after McSame.
RobinBlueBreast,
You admit that you have removed yourself from the process, so I have no reservations in telling you to stfu with your Hate Hillary crap.
You aren't part of the solution and that makes you a part of the problem.
Well said Mirth, and ditto!
"...in a just world he would blow McCain out of the water come November."
Obama will blow McSame out of the water! Right now, McCain's running unopposed because the Dem nominees are focused on going after each other. The DNC can't help either until we have a nominee. That will change in a few short weeks. You just wait. Because McSame is running on Bush's platform and he can't raise enough money [legally or illegally].
Plus, Obama has millions, literally millions, of grass-roots activists to help him go up against the Bushies in government, in the MSM, everywhere. There's no way we're going to let McCain win.
So recoup, cheer up and get your fighting spirit on!
Okay, so Obama said Iraq instead of Iran last week when he was speaking, but where was his screw up that Gloria defended?
And are you even paying attention in this election? You're saying that Obama is going to be the new Bush? Geeze, why not go out and learn some things before you make dumb comments like that.
If you're a progressive, then Obama is the only candidate who's going to look out for your views. You're obviously not one though if you're saying that, out of all three canidates, Obama is going to be the one who's the next Bush.
It might not be what some people want to hear because some, like Hillary, believe that we all live in peace & harmony and everyone is constantly happy and optimistic. When I heard her comment, I've never heard someone sound more out of touch with people in my life.
People who have been f**ked over because Washington has done nothing for them are not full of optimism. They're pissed off and they don't trust Washington blow-hards who come through to campaign, tell them what they want to hear so they'll vote for them and never see anything done to help them out. It's been happening for decades.
Some of these people cling to (and are encouraged by the Republican Party) issues like guns, abortion, gay marriage and vote for these when they are earning low wages, have no health care, can't file for bankrupsy, can't make their mortgage payments, etc. This is the absolute truth.
Anyone with intelligence and who really knows the people who are in question knows he's spot on.
Note to John: it was Obama, Mr. Orator himself, who stuck his foot in his mouth, not Hillary, and Obama himself has acknowledged that he misspoke.
Another note to John: one of Obama's core supporters are those who make more than $50,000 a year.
Can you imagine if *Hillary* had made those statements? John would have ripped right into her! But since it was St. Barack the Good who made the gaffe, John, as usual, gives him a pass.
Sometimes I wonder who is *more* rabidly anti-Hillary: the leftwing bloggers or the rightwing bloggers.
So what if the Clintons are wealthy? Last time I heard, it wasn't against the law to become wealthy by selling books or by charging for speeches.
Don't *we* wish we were wealth?
More to the point, just because someone is wealthy does not mean that she or he is not able to connect to the working class. In fact, one of the greatest presidents the working class ever had was FDR, who came from a world of wealth and privilege.
Obama *does* have a problem connecting to the white working class, who *do* see him as an Ivy League elitist, and that's not Hillary's fault, that's Obama's fault, and all of the lofty platitude-filled speeches in the world that don't address the concerns of the working class aren't going to help him make that connection.
If Obama is the Democratic nominee, he is going to need the support of the white working class to beat McCain, so he had better start working on his inability to connect to the working class right now.

As usual, the Hillary bots have failed to understand the content of the post and utterly misconstrued its meaning. Or, are they just lying some more?
Obviously, you're incapable of disagreeing without engaging in ad hominem attacks, such as calling people "Hillary bots" or accusing them of lying.
Mario
Obama goes to church; small town gun-toting folks go to church. The small town gun-toting "others" go because life has left them bitter. Obama goes to church because . . . Couple this with discussions about the church Obama chose to attend, and you've got a Republican smear machine boondoggle.
The issue here is that this mis-statement strikes at a fundamental concern about Obama, unspoken by the media (and many others) for fear of being labeled prejudiced. Obama has an elitist's sense of entitlement that colors how he deals with people and issues. It's the thing about him I find most troubling, because it's a blind spot no one will discuss.
He truly believes he deserves this nomination, despite the fact that having raised more money than Hilary he can't definitively beat her; so he and his supporters demand she withdraw because, can't she see, can't everybody see, he is entitled to this? And he will go into the general election with the same attitude about John McCain, even though the polling shows a dead heat there.
No, this is news because it's true. And no amount of trying to pin this on Hilary, McCain or the MSM is going to change that fundamental fact -- the event Barack Obama can have a flaw.
No, it is the fault of Clinton. You guys are unreal.
This country is so far from being ready to tackle our problems, to "roll up our sleeves," to realistically face and then deal with our decline with resolve and fortitude. This may not be the year we begin to act in our best interests. We may need to sink completely into 3rd world status before we can begin to rise.
I'm seriously depressed that speaking truth is seen as something to apologize for.
your words are like a mind meld.
My dislike of Hillary Clinton is morphing into pure hatred.
You admit that you have removed yourself from the process, so I have no reservations in telling you to stfu with your Hate Hillary crap.
You aren't part of the solution and that makes you a part of the problem.
I wish I had your confidence. Yes, the numbers suggest that Obama will be the nom and in a just world he would blow McCain out of the water come November. I am usually more sure that this country is ready to grow up. Today I'm just not.
I'll try to cheer myself up and them come back in a more positive frame o' mind.
A hug for you.
:)
{{LeslieB}}
A hug for you.
Thanks. But I may have been premature in my confidence that this nonsense would blow over. Because I just went over to Crooks and Liars. They have a post up about how a guest host for CNN's Lou Dobbs just spent an hour, an entire hour, discussing this. Because, you know, it's so much more important than reporting on how Bush ordered torture out of the White House.
I'm going to go scream at a brick wall for a while...
I read that as a "mind melt' and that's where my thought processes are today, breakdown mode.
:(
Can't you picture the Hillary team pouring over every Obama word, looking for the tiniest slip from him to use for an attack. That is what they have been reduced to, what they reduced themselves to. Goddamn them all.

indiedemocrat:
Tell me, what would you have the AB team report? What is positive about Hillary and her shiteous campaign? Why should anyone put earrings on the pig that is her and her lying, traitorous minions? Tell me one positive thing about Hillary Clinton.
