barry: “it’s like the Special Olympics or something”

Kennedy legacy carrier barry trashes the Special Olympics‘ athletes (thus the First Lady of California’s mother, Eunice Shriver, who founded them) on the final leg of his adoration tour. He compared his crappy ass bowling skills to a Special Olympic athlete’s lack of skill. Clearly, he doesn’t know what Special Olympic athletes are capable of - including voting.

What segment of the electorate hasn’t he trashed?

He should pay for his remark by making the next “party night at the White House” a fundraiser bowling party featuring Special Olympians so he is made to apologize right to them in person - not through a spokesperson’s “he thinks the Special Olympics do great work” or “it wasn’t meant like that” or some other template response.

It was meant exactly as said - they’re r*t*r*s with no physical skills.

What would President Franklin Delano Roosevelt have felt about hearing that remark?

Here’s the video clip from Herr Olbermann via asdf11x.

JAY: I imagine the bowling alley has just been burned and closed down.

BARRY: No. No. I’ve been practice-I’ve been practicing.

JAY: Really? Really?

BARRY: I, uh, I bowed a 129.

Applause.

LENO sarcastically: Oh no. That’s very good. Yeah. Oh, that’s very good, Mr President.

BARRY laughing: [unintelligible my score?] - it was like the Special Olympics or something.

Audience laughs - barry keeps laughing - Jay doesn’t. I don’t think barry even realized what he said.

And then Olbermann says: “What do WE do about it?”

As in how do we spin it. Just one more example of proobama media bias straight from the horse’s ass mouth.

Sen Kennedy to be given honorary knighthood

Sen Ted Kennedy to be Knighted by the Queen

March 4, 2009

UK Prime Minister, Gordon Brown announced Sen Ted Kennedy's honorary knighthood today during his speech to the joint session of Congress. He had notified Kennedy last evening.

BROWN: I hope that you will allow me to single out for special mention today one of your most distinguished senators, known in every continent and a great frien.

Northern Ireland is today at peace, more Americans have health care, more children around the world are going to school, and for all those things we owe a great debt to the life and courage of Senator Edward Kennedy.

SEN KENNEDY: I'm deeply grateful to Her Majesty the Queen and to Prime Minister Brown for this extraordinary honor. I have always prized the opportunity to work with the British government and strengthen and deepen the role of our two countries as leading beacons of democracy in the world. I am proud that I was able to play a part in the decades-long effort to bring peace to Northern Ireland.

I also think of my ties to Britain that stretch back across the years-from my childhood to the Kennedy Scholars today who come from Britain to study in America. It was from Britain that my oldest brother left for his last mission during World War II. It is in Britain that a portion of land at Runnymede, where the Magna Carta was signed, is now designated as American soil and dedicated to President Kennedy as a gift of the British people.

So for me, this honor is moving and personal- a reflection not only of my public life, but of things that profoundly matter to me as an individual. I accept this honor in the spirit in which it is given, with a continuing commitment to be a voice for the voiceless and for the shared ideals of freedom and fairness which are so fundamental to the character of our two countries.

Kennedy's father, Joseph Kennedy, was U.S. ambassador to Britain between 1938-1940. His son, Rep Patrick Kennedy (RI), thanked PM Brown.

He will not be "Sir", which is reserved for British citizens. He will have the letters "KBE" Knight of the British Empire. Others awarded honorary knighthood: New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Bob Hope, Steven Spielberg, Colin Powell, Ronald Reagan and George H W Bush.

Barack Obama will be allowed to keep his Blackberry.
But his use of it will be limited...
Guess it's going to be on Verizon.

Actually, it's a special Blackberry they built it just for him.
They're calling it a Barackberry.

It doesn't even have a battery...
It runs entirely on hope.

They say Caroline Kennedy dropped out because of marital problems...
How bad is your marriage when you're replacing Hillary?

Sen Kennedy home from hospital

January 22, 2009

Sen Ted Kennedy was discharged from the hospital without incident. He had had a seizure at the Inaugural luncheon and was taken to the hospital for evaluation and admitted for observation.

Sen Ted Kennedy hospitalized

January 20, 2009

According to CNN, Sen Kennedy was hospitalized for recurrent seizures, but is expected to just stay the night.

Before the inauguration, Sen Kennedy walked in, unaided except for a cane, and was smiling and waving. He had on a great black hat and looked completely present. Evidently, at the post-inauguration luncheon, he began to convulse. He was alert just previous and was talking by the time he reached the ambulance. The Secret Service whisked him away while he was still seizing - his wife, Sen Dodd (D-CT) and Sen Hatch (R-UT) by his side. He was evaluated at the hospital by the Chairman of Neurosurgery, Dr Edward Aulisi - who was probably standing by anyway - and his seizure felt to be due to exhaustion. He will stay overnight for hospitalization.

barry had earlier made remarks:

Kennedy "was there when the Voting Rights Act passed. Along with John Lewis, [Kennedy] was a warrior for justice. And so I would be lying to you if I did not say that right now, a part of me is with him. And I think that's true for all of us. This is a joyous time. But it's also a sobering time, and my prayers are with him and his family and [his wife] Vicki.

After the seizure, barry reportedly asked for a moment of silence.

Prior to getting into the ambulance, Dodd said Kennedy told him, "I'll be okay. I'll see you later."

And after seeing Kennedy at the hospital, Sen Kerry (D-MA) said:

He has his Irish up.

Ted Kennedy is going to be back in the Senate fighting for the things he cares about.

New York Times got punked!

December 23, 2008

New York Times got punked!

Dear Pro-Obama Media Members:

barry tries to make himself look noble by picking Sen Clinton for Secretary of State and you applaud him for his Lincolnesque "team of rivals" crap and go on to compare him to our truly great presidents (as in actions) and other world leaders. A gentle reminder: barry has not even clocked in yet and we all know how his first executive decision of Joe Biden turned out. What was picked for? Foreign policy? Is the loquacious gaffer ever going to get a word in edgewise? He's going to be a Dan Quayle - not a Chaney. And was he referring to Mumbai? Or will it be Georgia and Russia again?

Nothing - as in not one thing - has barry done of consequence. He has never made a unilateral decision resulting in consequences solely to him and the first time he does will be as President of the United States.

Besides the fact that Sen Clinton is perfectly suited and capable of the job and the fact that he needs the very finest minds around him to teach him things (and to throw under the bus as needed) - he had a politically expedient motive.

Everything he has done in his political career has been politically expedient and a hollow chant of CHANGE! is not going to change that.

It's who he is. The only thing he has revealed himself to be.

He picked Sen Clinton to vacate her senate seat. Period. It was part of the Kennedy deal. Along with the in your face dis of Sen Clinton by appointing Caroline Kennedy the head of the VP search and snatching up Patti Solis Doyle. He appoints Clinton to a cabinet position and a Kennedy takes back Bobby Kennedy's senate seat to keep the Kennedy line going. Caroline Kennedy would be the obvious choice and after that RFK Jr. Whoever it will be - it will be a Kennedy.

barry is not in any way noble. He is doing what he always does. He is doing what he was told and what he agreed to do so he could take the next step up and that is never going to change.

ps. Give Mr Bill a rest. Why in the hell would a globe-trotting president beloved by the world become a senator? Especially under a man who refused to call him and allowed him to be painted a racist - even still? The same man who detests his wife, won the nomination by fraud and tried to destroy his presidential legacy.

Hello.

And the Kennedy women?

November 22, 2008

Politicians are very small transparent people. I have witnessed it over the last nine months - how frightened and threatened men are of Senator Clinton and to what degree they will go to deny it. The proobamedia is one thing, her colleagues another and the Kennedys another altogether. The loyalists to her husband running the other way when it was time to back a woman. Cowards in broad daylight giggling in the back rooms and heartily clapping barry - someone they don't know - on the back simply because he's an alternative to a pantsuit.

Ted Kennedy - your legacy may be set in American Politics but you have left me with a bitter taste. A bitter taste from a family I had always looked on as tolerant. A family my large Irish Catholic family had revered. I see now it was all a mirage. And it's very, very sad.

Sadder still were the few Kennedy's backing Senator Clinton who never stood forward and said so. Why? What impact does it have on the Kennedy legacy that some stood silent and did not let their dissent be seen because it was a conflict of interest within their own family? And what of the ones who did not encourage them to do so even though they were on barry's side?

Women in the Kennedy family have stood silent and let the most powerful politician, who just happens to be a woman, be trashed. One cannot hold them responsible for the decades of abuse - justified or not - heaped on Senator Clinton, but they have stood silent while the Kennedy name was used to promote barry. Plenty of them sticking up and saying how proud their father, uncle or whatever relation would be. Plenty doing their part to get barry elected. Plenty so happy about the resurrected pride and popularity that they have come forward to get their 15 minutes of name-related fame.

Do they all believe in their hearts and souls that barry is more qualified? That if he weren't a black man he would be president? That if it didn't make a nice tidy package for the Kennedy legacy, he'd still be The One?

And in regards to themselves - are they delusional enough to believe they have gotten to where they are because of their own intrinsic worth? That their family name had nothing to do with it? That they weren't given the benefit of the doubt because of it and have not been attacked in the media because of it?

And Senator Clinton's name? How has that impacted her political career? How scandalous would a female Kennedy have to be before the media went after her? Would a Clinton have survived Chappaquiddick? Any politician save a Kennedy?

How enlightening would it have been for one Kennedy woman to step forward, especially one obviously pro-barry - Caroline Kennedy even - to say that the misogyny and sexism is way out of control and should be no more tolerated than barry's own race baiting.

It is what I now associate with the Kennedy Legacy: silence.

Even if the Kennedy women hate Senator Clinton, even if they think barry is the second coming of Jesus or JFK or RFK - they have stood silent while a female politician of considerable political worth was attacked on everything from cleavage to thick ankles. They of the nasal Boston accent stood silent while Sen Clinton was attacked because of her Chicago cackle. They of the Democratic party stood silent while their fellow Democrat was attacked--through no fault of her own--because of men's irrelevance, impotence and castration anxiety.

Most disappointing (and most heinous) they have stood silent while Chelsea's mother was attacked on a fundamentally feminine level.

They have made their stops on Morning Joe talking about Catholicism in America and never once said, you know, Love They Neighbor includes Senator Clinton. Maria Shriver, First Lady of California and most visible female supporter of barry has said nothing about the misogyny and obvious sexism. Caroline Kennedy became head of the VP search and said nothing when her uncle said Senator Clinton was not noble or leader enough to become vice president. And yet, Senator Clinton took the initiative to shake Senator Kennedy's hand after he had endorsed barry.

What is Ms Shriver conveying to all the young girls of California? Of America? Of the world? How is she inspiring the young girls of any anything who aspire to be president one day? How is her silence reassuring young black girls that they have as much of a chance of becoming president as their little brothers? And that if they were to try their hair, makeup, body size, voice and clothing wouldn't matter?

Will any of the Kennedy women develop a conscience once Senator Clinton is working for barry? Will that be enough for them to become women first and Kennedys--who have never been discriminated against nor will they ever--second?

They have all seen what has been happening and none have said a word or raised an objection.

Nothing anymore exists to make me feel proud of the Kennedy legacy.

Same with Oprah - the supposed champion of women everywhere. It was the premise behind her academy: that women leaders will effect change in the world, that they are the ones who will bring peace and that they just need education and an opportunity to do so. Empty words it seems. Who could effect more change in the world RIGHT NOW while those young girls are still aspiring? Who could bring that dream to reality? To prove to them that it really and truly is attainable? Can they really believe what Oprah says? Can anyone?

It seems the tolerance JFK spoke of referred only to black male Americans. That it had nothing to do with their wives, mothers, sisters, nieces, grandmothers, neighbors, coworkers and rare bosses. Would Senator Clinton had been treated differently had she been a Kennedy? A black women?

Although the odds are against it, I hope I live long enough to hear someone admit that Sen Clinton she should have won. (Did win.) That barry cheated with the full knowledge and cooperation of the DNC, the Kennedys and proobamedia. That the daily attack on Senator Clinton and her supporters was a sanctioned, malicious, planned assault carried out with the knowledge and assistance of barry's camp, which included the Kennedys, DNC and proobamedia.

Something that has still not been made right even as barry mimes "Team of Rivals". If you knew barry at all, you would know he is assembling a team of political expedience. He is selecting people he can easily cut away and throw under the bus. Go through each one yourselves and check them off. Find one who doesn't fit affirmative action, Chicago payback and/or political expedience.

When you find one let me know.

What would our forefathers and forebears think? Would they believe barry's engineered election was one step closer to a More Perfect Union? Would they be proud of how barry race baited?

I think Abraham Lincoln would be sickened by the repeated references to him, his words and his accomplishments by someone who has accomplished absolutely nothing. Someone who stood silent even as he professed unity while his opponent - a woman no less - was destroyed in the media so that he could win. Thomas Jefferson would be chuckling at the hypocrisy of it all. And Martha Washington would sit quietly and cry having known in her heart that it was going to take more than 232 years to make things right.

It's not for the good of the country - it's barry revenge

November 19, 2008

Yesterday Senator Clinton was appointed by Sen Ted Kennedy to lead a subcomittee task force to expand health insurance coverage. An enticement really. A small bone to tempt her to stay in the senate. She is never going to get to manage the healthcare issue. She had lobbied Kennedy and Reid to create a health-reform subcommittee for her to chair and was turned down. They will make sure that she has nothing to do with it. And today barry named Daschel to be head of the Health and Human Services - effectively blocking her last avenue to healthcare.

So it's secretary of state or going back to the senate where she will have make it look good appointments on the periphery of healthcare. There is no way Sen Kennedy would hand off the issue to Sen Clinton. It would mean decades of struggle culminating with a Clinton name. Never happen. He would rather it take more time than hand it to someone who could get it done faster. Country first?

I don't know why people continue to think barry is this noble guy looking to "gather a team of rivals". He is acting now like he always has and always will. He is doing the same thing he did with the bailout - sitting back and letting it go down. He is looking to destroy the rival who made it possible for him to become president and wants to tarnish the last Democratic president. There is no thought of America first or the real fact that Sen Clinton is perfect for the job. The president-elect had 33 days of overseas travel - one night in Europe and no trips to South or Central America - and his opponent physically visited over 80 countries mostly in official capacity and yet she has no foreign policy experience and he's fit to be president.

Explain that to me obamerized masses. Convince me that he isn't there because of his race, because he is a man and because the press hate "The Clintons". Not possible.

The most important part of foreign policy is diplomacy and the most important part of diplomacy is actually being in the country, eating the food, talking to the people and knowing the customs. She has done that in 80 countries. And she has done it interacting with women as well as dignitaries. They love her outside the US, especially in countries where women are oppressed.

1-Health care is gone in the senate.
2-Healthcare gone in the cabinet.
3-Secretary of state depends on Mr Bill's dealings, which he has every right to not disclose.
4-Once disclosed, barry has the chance to permanently tarnish President Clinton - jeopardizing the future of his Global Initiative and all the people in need - which of course doesn't matter to barry.
5-He can rescind the offer (if he had ever meant it in the first place).
6-By the way it was an intentional leak so the press could demean her even further - just as they did with the VP ruse.
7-She takes the job - she loses her senate seat.
8-After a reasonable amount of time barry fires her, leaving her with nothing to fall back on.
9-He gets away with it because the pro-obama media rejoice instead of challenging him.
10-The pink-faced presidential failures who could have prevented bush and Iraq are off the hook.
11-barry and axelrod laugh and give each other a high-five as Iran, Syria and Hamas bomb Israel.
12-barry doesn't care (he never did) because he accomplished his mission: defeating the Clintons while fraudulently winning the presidency.
13-And those American People so obamerized with what he represents give him a pass because it was THAT woman's fault anyway.

barry's plans are proceeding nicely aren't they?

Gov Schwartzenegger on Secretary of State

November 16, 2008

Not sure why his endorsement is necessary but Arnold Schwarzenegger thinks Sen Clinton should get Secretary of State job. What self-respecting Democrat or American for that matter thinks otherwise...except of course Michelle Bernard. George Stephanopoulos (video)

Schwartzenegger "I think she [Senator Clinton] is a very very bright woman and very experienced. I think this could be a great move....To me it is: 'Is this person qualified'...It really doesn't matter - it's personal preference.

"When it comes to those kinds of positions, what is equally as important, and I know with my cabinet, what is equally as important as who is qualified, is who can you work with. Who can you sit down with and really get in there and start becoming a partner [with], that sees things the way you see it.

"And also that you maybe want to learn from that person and admire that person so much that you want to pick up some pointers and learn from that person, so that they together can go out and do this. The Secretary of State can do nothing without the president. I comes down to if they can connect."

Wonder what his wife thinks and the rest of her family - Senator Kennedy included. I'm sure barry has asked him and Al Gore. We'll see if he continues to put his ego first or the good of The American People. Let's hope that's the change he was chanting about.

Obama's signature reveals his arrogance and egomania and the vertical line is a clear phallic symbol. Wonder what Bob Herbert thinks about those phallic pillars. Especially the right one. barry was certain he had the job and that they were gonna help him - he was doodling his presidential seal, his commemorative presidential coin and the backdrop to his $5M styrofoam pillar speech.

The house of fraud comes a'tumblin' down

October 24, 2008

Well it's about time someone started proving the online fraud that is the Obama money-making machine. This man has not done a single thing legitimately but it doesn't matter because the country and world is in love with him as the messiah. The MSM talks about the spectacular campaign he has run and the cleanness of it. They should have listened to the non-Obamerized, non-Kool-Aid drinking, non-cult followers. He spoke about CHANGE! and he meant it. He didn't lie about No Old Washington. He has used the tried and tested Daley Machine method - the same one that got Kennedy elected. Axelrod was born into Chicago politics. Not a single pundit has a clue what goes on in the political arena that is Chicago - the birthplace of Hillary Clinton. Just think if she had run for the US Senator from Illinois...

Funny thing about it is Senator Clinton investigated the 1960 election and proved in her one example that the address was an empty lot. Then she worked on the Nixon impeachment proceeding. Then her husband was impeached. Then she's became the victim of voter/donor related fraud by the same Daley Machine that cost her the nomination and gave Kennedy the win. Cosmicity that once again happens to her through no fault of her own and no one listens because it's THAT woman. Oh well. Debate that if you like - it's a reality that will be proven and not long after this election is over. Mr Bill said he'd be ready to talk after the inauguration. And the GOP is finally doing a full court press. Biggest problem with that is Palin. Had he picked Romney this would be a whole different race.

Anyway, NEWSWEEK (10-4-08) pointed out campaign donation irregularities. Names are almost as creative as Mickey Mouse and the Dallas Cowboys - the Chicago Bears or White Sox would have been too obvious:

"Doodad Pro" of Nunda, N.Y., who gave $17,130, and "Good Will" who gave more than $11,000—both in excess of the $2,300-per-person federal limit. Neither name had ever been publicly reported because both individuals made online donations in $10 and $25 increments. "Good Will" listed his employer as "Loving" and his occupation as "You," while supplying as his address 1015 Norwood Park Boulevard, which is shared by the Austin nonprofit Goodwill Industries. "Doodad Pro" listed no occupation or employer; the contributor's listed address is shared by Lloyd and Lynn's Liquor Store in Nunda.

Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt said the campaign has no idea who the individuals are and has returned all the donations, using the credit-card numbers they gave to the campaign. In a similar case earlier this year, the campaign returned $33,000 to two Palestinian brothers in the Gaza Strip who had bought T shirts in bulk from the campaign's online store. They had listed their address as "Ga.," which the campaign took to mean Georgia rather than Gaza.) "While no organization is completely protected from Internet fraud, we will continue to review our fund-raising procedures," LaBolt said.

Ben Labolt is the one who handled Rezko donations. He knows exactly was it is going on but has been so arrogant he never thought anyone would ask questions - and they haven't. How much has the obama campaign had to give back? That is the number I'm most interested in because it will prove they have known about it and for how long. "Not completely protected by internet fraud"? They have the Facebook guys and Google has been working with him and the CEO of Google, Richard Schmidt, just endorsed him. And Obama has already washed the hand that endorsed him - or simply bought it. This is only from May. I wonder how much it is now.

According to ClickZ's KATE KAYE (May 29, 2008)

More than $2.08 million was paid to Google, by Obama for America.
Politico ($36,000)
CNN.com ($24,000)
Gothamist ($2,800).
$18,000 was paid to "Google Image Domain"
$2.06 million was paid to "Google Inc."

The NY Times has run stories about his PAC money, lobbyists and bundlers--aka Rezko in hos 2004 US Senate race. Three months and hundreds of millions dollars ago, The NY Times' MICHEAL LUO (7-10-08) reported:

Senator Barack Obama's campaign published the names of a whopping 181 new bundlers of campaign contributions this evening, adding to its existing list of 328 elite fund-raisers, after The New York Times made an inquiry earlier in the day about how complete the list was.

Reviewing records, The New York Times concluded dozens of members of Mr. Obama's National Finance Committee, who commit to raising at least $250,000, were not on the list, which is supposed to identify anyone who has raised $50,000 or more. In interviews, several of the missing members said they began raising money for Mr. Obama in early to mid-2007 and already exceeded their $250,000 goal.

It's all out there should anyone someday care. It seems the GOP has built some momentum but unless some major law-breaking tied directly to Obama. They won't be that stupid. Rule #1 in Chicago politics - protect the principle player. The mayor anyway. Rod Blagojevich seems headed to Oxford to bunk with With Governor Ryan, courtesy of one Tony Rezko. Judgment? The main obstacle is the MASSIVE number of voters they will have to wade through and there isn't enough time for that. And early balloting has already started. Forget doing anything about Ohio. It's the revenge of Kerry.

I look forward to watching Herr olberman, chill up my leg matthews, jonjon DISABLED INFANT Alter and he knows but is a coward howie fineman look in the camera and say they have/had no idea. How much worse can jonjon get? His reputation and whatever journalistic integrity he once possessed is gone. He sold it to the devil just to make his 2006 prediction come true. Chris rabid salivator Matthews will cry of course since "Barama"conned him. The biggest travesty will be the empty hope barry preached while defrauding his way to the nomination and perhaps the presidency.

Obama's Convention speech "thanks"

With 38 million people watching the Messiah and his flock, here (1:40) are all 17 words of Obama's "lavish praise" for SHC.

Let me express my thanks to the historic slate of candidates who accompanied me on this journey, and especially the one who traveled the farthest — a champion for working Americans and an inspiration to my daughters and to yours — Hillary Rodham Clinton.

After SHC delivered her excellent speech--it truly was--David Gregory asked Judas what he thought about some delegates feeling buyer's remorse? Richardson did not at all seem surprised. I wonder if he thinks was worth the betrayal.

And for all the doubt and disrespect President Clinton received (2:19), his own lavish praise was 17 word phrase.

To President Clinton, who last night made the case for change as only he can make it;

The only Dem president in 28 years and the only two-termer in half a century gets 17 words. The last president of either party to give the American people eight years of prosperity gets 17 words. One lame phrase to thank someone who the Transcender of Race allowed to be crucified for racism. Someone who was not reached out to until Obama needed an endorsement to "unify the party". And when Pres Clinton did - Obama used his own slogan to claim Clinton's words.

What Pres Clinton said was perfectly clear. He understood and believed in what he was saying -- Obama did not. Clinton had the crowd in his hand and left them chanting at the end, as did SHC. He clearly enjoyed the adoration: "I love this." (1:06) But it was well-earned and honest. Obama hasn't won anything - not even his coronation -- and he is a fraud who believes the whole world should adore him.

Will he thank the Clintons? No, he got what he wanted. Will he blame them if he loses? Absolutely, as will the MSM.

Obama's most heinous act was the 9 word phrase he offered (2:28) Sen Ted Kennedy:

...to Ted Kennedy, who embodies the spirit of service;

Spirit of service? Sen Kennedy embodies more than that. He has spent 46 years accomplishing real change - not just loftily speaking of it. Sen Kennedy made the arduous trip to Denver against medical advice - flying at altitudes that posed a serious, potentially fatal, risk. He didn't let brain cancer, brain surgery, chemotherapy or radiation stop him. He did it for Obama. He did it for the Democratic party. He did it for the Kennedy legacy. He did it because he understood the significance of his mission and because it may well be his last convention. But most of all, he did it to inspire the American people as only he can.

With his back bent from chronic pain and unspeakable tragedy, his eyes clear and cogent, the Sen from Massachusetts in his distinctive - though weakened - voice gave a rousing never-to-be-forgotten speech:

...this November, the torch will be passed again to a new generation of Americans. So, with Barack Obama and for you and for me, our country will be committed to his cause. The work begins anew. The hope rises again. And the dream lives on.

And for that Herculean (or leonine) effort, how did Obama honor Sen Kennedy? Nine words - not even a full sentence - and he was semicoloned with the Clintons, which could not have pleased him. Nine words that did not mention Sen Kennedy's many accomplishments or his devotion to the Democratic Party and the people of Massachusetts. Nine impersonal words - devoid of personal heartfelt words of gratitude to a man who passed the mantle.

Why aren't Obama supporters outraged by this? His delegates? The MSM? The Kennedy family? The senator himself? Clinton supporters are, as should all Americans, including and especially, Obama. In his stump in Dublin, Ohio today Obama praised Michelle and never once mentioned Sen Kennedy. I couldn't even find a link to Sen Kennedy's speech on Sen Obama's website. Anyone who doesn't think Obama in mired in his own Messianic Complex should be ashamed of his behavior.

My prayers and best wishes go out to Sen Kennedy and his family.

1980 Sen Kennedy Concession speech and video:

For those whose cares have been our concern - the work goes on. The cause endures. The hope still lives. And the dream shall never die.

Oprah & Caroline Kennedy stump for Obama

February 4, 2008
UCLA

Oprah disses her white audience because someone asked her in Iowa, "How could you?"
Oprah: "She was surprised by that comment and insulted....I am not a traitor."

"We are free to be led by our hearts. We are free from the prescriptions of gender and race."

Affected voice: "Trouble with your mens."

(Mind you, this was before her audience had begun to boycott her show and her ratings. And when that happened she suddenly disappeared from the scene. Integrity.)

She quotes Tony Bill is the first black president Morrison saying that Barry has "creative imagination". True. But does he know how to use it in reality? Here's her full letter of endorsement.

Obama refuses to shake Sen Clinton's hand at State of the Union Address and literally turns his back on her. A real man. Sen Kennedy showed what a man and politician he is - even if he didn't reach out to Sen Clinton first. Here's good old Charlie Gibson's voice when he was a staunch supporter of Obama. Really quite funny to go back and listen to people who weren't Obama fans and what they're saying now.



Sen Kennedy had just endorsed Obama on January 28, 2008 and Sen Clinton was the one who went over and shook Sen Kennedy's hand. Say what you will about Sen Clinton - that took some guts and showed what a professional politician she is. It's clear what type of politician/man Obama is from this. And Obama said he would sit down with rogue leaders and doesn't even have the courage or grace to shake his fellow senator's hand.

When questioned on his plane with no American flag,

Obama: I was he was turning away because Claire asked him a question.

Senator McCaskill, delirious and lost in rapture, said:

It was not a snub. I had a ringside seat. It was just one of those "accidents" that happens that was caught on film.

Then why did she call it an "accident". First she said nothing was wrong and then uses accident. She's not a very good liar...it was early in the campaign...I found Whoopi's take interesting. Wonder if she'd have the fortitude to say the same now.

Here's Whoopi's take.

I think he was wrong to turn away. If you are triumphant you don't have to stand on the person's throat. You can be a bigger person.

And Obama still hasn't shown any respect to Sen Clinton or her voters to which is why they aren't too pleased or excited to vote for him. What he doesn't realize is that none of them are actively campaigning for him either. I find it hard to believe he actually wants to get a democrat in the White House because he isn't doing everything he can go recruit voters - especially all 18 M Clinton voters who showed up to vote.

We'll see how much of the youth/black vote show up in November. No matter what - it's the women's vote that will decide this election and it will be Obama's fault - not Sen Clinton's - if they don't vote for him.

When is he going to get this?
