Obama Opens Two-Front Fight

Washington Post:

With Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton still battling, some Democrats have wondered who will battle Republican John McCain as he turns toward the general election.

But an increasingly confident Obama is beginning to battle on two fronts, holding off Clinton with one arm as he takes increasingly frequent swings at McCain with the other. At Obama rallies, McCain has become a foil, the object of boos and hisses for the partisan faithful. But Obama appears to believe he has found the way to attack, even as he continues his outreach to Republicans.

No wonder Superdelegates are switching to him.

Obama Bought & Paid For His Super Delegates.

Obama gave 3-times as many donations to superdelegates than Hillary did.

My question -- where did he get all that money dating back to 2005? Rezko?

"Obama's political action committee has doled out more than $698,200 to superdelegates since 2005, the study found, and of the 82 who had announced their support for Obama, 35 had received donations for election cycles in 2006 and 2008 totaling $232,200. Since 2005 Obama has given 52 of the undecided superdelegates a total of at least $363,900

Clinton's political action committee has distributed about $205,500 to superdelegates, and only 13 of the 109 who had announced for her have received money, totaling about $95,000. Since 2005 Clinton has given a total of $88,000 to 15 of the undecided superdelegates.

The more I read about Obama the more I'm thinking he's some Manchurian Candidate launched on us by powerbrokers in the middle east.

I mean, not for nothing like my friends in NYC say, but how is it that Obama has so many close friends either born in the middle east or born here and spending a lot of time traveling home.

First, Obama's Bagman, Syrian born fraudster Rezko (who was arrested because of his "business" dealings with a corrupt Iraqi-British billionaire now arrested in France).

Now ... Meet Obama's Advisor on Middle East Policy: Robert Malley, the son of a Syrian who was a close friend to Arafat.

Now it's clear why Obama wants to meet with terrorist states and sit around the campfire singing Kum-By-ya.

The article below has links to Malley's Middle East philosophy - hint: he thinks Israel is the big problem.

And did I mention Malley's dad was a close friend of Arafat? ;)

Hillary should run as a third-party candidate and screw them all up - Three-way tie.

Muahahahaha!

I agree with Annin CA - The Democratic Party is screwed and the DNC sold The Clintons down the river for a You-Tube Candidate with a number of Syrian-born buddies.

[loisteagulp]

Heh. That would be amusing. I can say that because none of the candidates positions affect me in any way I really care about. At least if McCrazy wins, and I win the lotto, I will have to pay less taxes on it.

[FlowerGirl]

Hillary seems to have changed her strategy. She makes an overwhelmingly popular move.

At last she has got it together. That is a winner if there is one.

[FlowerGirl]

OOPS! copied the w3rong link! Here is the right one:

Sorry about that.

[AnninCA]

All of them will switch to him.

The Democratic party died.

It's over.

Now, the question is for those of who used to be Democrats.­...

Where do WE go?

Not to this party.

That much I'm sure about.

It's Democratic in name only.

But it has nothing to do with MY party.

Any party which uses the Republican slime machine to win obviously isn't MY party.

So the Democrat name means zip today.

So, fellow true Democrats.

Where do WE go?

To McDonold's where you will find a delicious menu full of variety. I reccomend the incredible Chicken Nuggets, they are all white meat now. You can choose between a tangy sweet and sour sauce, a spicy BBQ sauce, or a tart mustard sauce. I like to grab one of each and trile dip my nugget for an incredible dance off of flavor. You will be happy with your choice and it will keep you busy during the election, so grown ups can vote. They even have a playland to keep you busy.

[johnhummel]

Really? If you vote for Obama - you're not a real Democrat?

I didn't get the memo. I guess we'll miss you.

[LarBear]

johnhummel­....
Isn't the more important question, is one ONLY a Democrat if they agree with Obama??? Is there NO room for disagreement in the Democratic Party???

[BrickSykes]

Lady, you're NO DEMOCRAT!! You didn't plan on your words coming out the way they just did, but you gave yourself completely away! I'm sure you'd LIKE to see the "Democrat" Party go away but you're not going to get your wish this year. Sorry.

Brick

Oh yes...You'­re right about one thing, though. Ms. Clinton's Red Streak has been showing for some time now. And, since she's YOUR candidate you might want to tell her that every time she rips Barak Obama just confirms what every other American has just begun realizing: She is the Republican Party's "Hole Card", or haven't you noticed that she and McCain sound like Twins.

Nice try....

[KRANKY]

You got it Brick. This is a Repuke whore. The jargon gives them away.
Ignoring them as azzholes does not work. I confront these jerks seemingly constantly and they back down every time. They are cowards that strut until someone punches them in the nose.
I have had ann pegged for a phony at first get.
Thanks for knocking this low-life racist back to ground!

[LarBear]

AnninCA...
To me, seems I have a choice of voting for a Democrat, Black Racist, or a Republican, Warmonger.­.. sigh......­. Feels like I have a choice of which way I want to hurt my beloved USA...
I am Male... I believe in Equality Feminism..­. Basically I believe ALL Natural Life is Equally of Godly Nature... I don't like Labels, so maybe that simply describes, not defines an Equalist?
I feel disappointed and disgusted the Obama's have played to Race and skin color... As a First "Black President" will a child under the Obama Regime with black skin, be allowed to grow up Believing skin color does NOT make them a "Black Person"??? In Personhood is Equality, whereas in Belief comes "White/ Black", etc., Believed Personhood­... "Black" Voter, Person, America, Community, etc, is a Belief, not a Fact...
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Let it be written the Obama's so lusted for Control of America, and Ego Gratification, they played to, and introduced skin color and Race into their Campaign..­. Slickly, or perhaps sickly, spinning that onto the Clinton's with the MSM's help... Shamelessly appealing to Race and "Black" skin color for Loyalty, while also playing to the Guilt Card if other Races did NOT vote for them...
The "Audacity of Hope"??? When Pandora opened "Pandora's Box" and spilled out War, Pestilence and Plague, she slammed the BOX shut before spilling out "Hope"... So War, Pestilence, Plague and Hope are evils...
I suspect Hope is actually the worst Evil... Hope does NOT, win Lotto's, heal Cancer, clean up America, change two corrupted Political Parties, change a corrupted MSM, end Corporate Greed and Influence spun as Capitalism, etc... Hope more acts to allow those Events to actually continue ... Hope undermines Change...

Senator Barack Obama just keeps getting stronger with each strident negative attack that You-Know-Her and Mad Dog McCain dredge up from the sewer to throw at him. If it gets any easier for him to dispense with these two ancient ankle-biters, he may need to open a THIRD front just to have a worthy sparring partner to keep him in shape.

Claims by New York Senator You-Know-Her to "experience" in "fighting" the reactionary Republican slime machine seem objectively like a scarred, leather punching bag boasting of how it has "fought" with boxers in training at the local gym. Recently, the unimpressed have taken to calling her "the pantsuit piñata," for becoming a pathetic party favor that blindfolded little kids routinely knock about with a stick. Even a dyslexic dwarf chimpanzee like Deputy Dubya Bush made a monkey out of her, browbeating "Buffaloed Girl" (as I call her in a poem by the same name) into stupidly signing off on Vietnam II in the Bay of Goats. "Fighting" the Repugnant Ones by getting her ass regularly kicked by pompous pipsqueaks like Newt "serial mistress-marrier" Gingrich and company hardly recommends You-Know-Her as "leader" to the Democratic Party troops heading into electoral battle.

Mad Dog John McCain, of course, still dreams of returning to bomb Vietnam again -- only this time the "right" way -- in the next century or so during which he assumes the Chinese will keep endlessly funding his hero Deputy Dubya's deadbeat debacle in the desert. Won't happen. Americans will have to soon rediscover how to earn their own living again instead of robbing their children's future to finance failed fantastic follies. Senator Obama, in polite non-threatening language, has told them as much. Many Americans seem up for the challenge. Enough with lowered-ex­pectations already.

As Senator Obama has ably demonstrated during this current national campaign, simultaneously dispensing with these two geriatric gasbags -- and I say this as a sixty-year-old Vietnam Veteran myself -- has seemingly not proved much of a "fight" in the least.

Excellent post, rant? I love it reads like a political eschewing of a galager comedy. Once you think it can't get any more visceral you step it up a notch. I'm gonna copy this and send it to all my friends.

[XYZ]

P.S. I won't plagerize gate it either.

[jmaroon]

Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island — Let's wrap this up and secure the nomination for Obama. We have the momentum. We can end the back and forth, and begin the campaign for the Presidency with your help! Mobilize for Obama and deliver a strong win for us in your states. If you do, if each of your states rise to win for Obama, the pressure on the Clintons to suspend their campaign and support the Obama nomination will permit us all to begin the work of building a national movement for change that will culminate in a November win against McCain.

We can do this. We can make history together. We can send a message to the Clintons, to the DNC, to the Super Delegates, and to the American people, that we are ready to stand up for ourselves and each other, that we are ready to embrace the urgency of this moment, that we are ready to be empowered — in short, that we are ready to elect Barack Obama President of the United States of America.

Yes, We Can!

[bookerone]

Since I am expendable to Obama, should he be the Dem candidate come November, this over 55 white woman will be having one of those periodic bad days when my claws need tending and I simply won’t have time to vote.

[BatedBreath]

I'm sorry for you, bookerone. Chin up, put a smile on your face, and persevere. You'll make it yet.

[dutch2008]

I am not sure how you are "expendable". Obama stresses that he wants to include everyone in moving this country forward. Clinton is finding herself in this position because of the baseless attacks that she has thrown his way (clumsily at that). Find the time for your future, and vote Dem!

[CarbonDate]

Some people don't want to move forward; they want to turn the clock back, and they really resent being told to look to the future.

DON'T FALL THE THE REPUBLICAN "FEAR" TACTICS
