Yeah, no mention of Rev Wright at all.

Are they actually paying these writers for this stuff?

Rev Who?

Hagee.

Yeah Dave, Why isn't Chris Matthews or Wolfie Blitzer bringing up Hagee. Could it be they are rich whites guys who stand to pay more taxes if a Democrat wins? And they say Obama is an elitist.

I like having a light hearted post here after a long week and on a Friday afternoon.

The number one fact is probably not far from true for both he and Hillary. If McCain had to campaign this hard and long, he would probably be all tuckered out.

Tonight on Chris Matthews show he is showing a tape of a speech McCain made today. McCain made a statement that sounds like he is admitting the Iraq invasion was all about oil. He says that if we become energy independent our sons and daughters won't have to be fighting in the middle east again.

Oops, where is Joe and Lindsey to clean up the mess in aisle three?

He bowled a 39? I'm very bitter about this. As an elitist he should do better.

To paraphrase what John McCain said today:

"I will have an energy policy... that will prevent us from ever having to send our young men and women into conflict in the middle east again."

Pissed off Patricia, I'm watching right now. Listen to that idiot SPIN! WTF! I swear these Repugs are on drugs are are seriously mentally ill.

Did the DNC run an ad right after McCain was on Tweety?

Here's No. 11: Hillary Criticizes Even Obama’s Basketball ‘Game’

I need real news. Not this partisan crap. It is kind of sad when I have to look foward to watching C-span because MSM is such crap.

Regarding fact #9, if only his vote had enabled Kucinich, the only Democrat to advocate for the total and immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq and a single payer health care system in America and the impeachment of Bush and Cheney and a Department of Peace and for the reduction of the military budget and who favored diplomacy over keeping the nuclear option available against Iran and Pakistan, to win the primary in Illinois.

Just put them both on the friggin ticket and let it be done. My head can't deal with this anymore. Thank god for my garden or I would be ready for the Asylum.

The traitorou$ mainstream media is becoming successfull at "blackening" Obama.

This nation does not deserve Gore, Kerry or Obama.

It deserves exactly what it got, Bush. Next McCain!

“Surprising Facts About Barack Obama”

10. He's actually NOT a Muslim! And never has been!
9. He's not as liberal as Edwards, Dodd, Kucinich or most of his supporters!
8. Not only did he never rape a white woman, but he's been married to the same black woman for years and has two black children!
7. He attended a black church for years without standing up and scolding the preacher during a sermon!
6. Obama's skin is not actually black, but a pleasant shade of mocha!
5. He doesn't watch a lot of television because...he's got a life!
4. Letterman's writers get paid to write vaguely funny things that don't piss off millions of people!
3. ...Like Obama seeking the endorsement of Kentucky Derby favorite Colonel John!
2. ...and talking about Paula Abdul!
1. ...and joking about insomnia! --Isn't that a hoot?

I feel your pain but putting them both on the ticket will only give the Republicans two huge targets in the fall instead of one. Hillary's national negatives remain high, and thanks to her primary campaign and the help of the media, Obama's negatives continue to rise. Despite the delegate numbers the media is continuing to make this a race. If the positions were switched, Obama would have been run out of the primary many weeks ago. Yes, thank god for gardens.

You're right about the "blackening" of Obama. Within one minute Matthews tonight used phrases like "on the hood" and "ghetto" in reference to this candidate. Nice job.

Very true Patricia, They are very RICH guys spouting the drivel the corporate masters want them to say. And we all know they LOVE Bush's tax cuts. Now we the little people pay for these wars. They really screwed us good didn't they?

They aren't news people they are people paid to tell us what they think and what they think we should think.

Their job really is to catapult the propaganda. Most of them have become unbearable to watch and listen to because by now we know what they are going to say before they even begin to speak.

Matthews in particular needs to be watched carefully. The Dem establishment blew just enough smoke up his a** recently to make him think he's likely to get their support in a run to be a Senator from Pennsylvania. This continual blurring of media-politics is really dangerous.

Obama can read so that alone is a great improvement over W

Resilent and bouyant? That is what Chris Matthews just said about McCain. Is he going to kiss his butt like he pratically did with Tom Delay?

pissed off patricia @ 39:

Happily, when I'm at the computer I can't hear or see my tv. So I didn't hear what Chris said about "the hood" and "ghetto". In what context did he use the words? Was he pathetically trying to be clever?

No, I don't think he was trying to be clever. He was asking whether Obama's opponents had successfully "ghettoized" Obama and made him "one of those guys from the hood." Although pathetic, it happens to be a true observation of what Obama's opponents have successfully done.

Thanks for the explanation. You are right, that is what is trying to happen, at least by the talking heads on tv. I don't know if the voters are buying it. I sure do hope not.

*Sigh*...more pablum from the MSM, the comedy equivalent of flag pins.

How ghettoized can Obama be when he continues to win super delegates [who are former Clinton supporters], plus he won the popular vote, the pledged delegates and the states!?

hey! barack bowled a 39...that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt he can be taught! he's already got a leg up on chimpy!

I bet we could make Chimpy climb a tree in sheer, fear-faced terror just by holding a lit match in front of his face.

well, well, well...guess what's going around???? Obama MIGHT appear on Bill O's show and omfg what will you say THEN???? excuses aplenty I'm sure, I can see them now, you'll praise Obama for going on the Factor but that damn Hillary for going on there!!

Obama supporters remind me of Jim Jones followers....

obama is doomed..

As long as he doesn't say "God bless the rich" then try to spin it into something that sounds equally ridiculous, then I don't care if he goes on there.

Comrade Kevin @ 37:

Am I the only one who finds it rather unusual that Obama's recent bad week was not due to his own actions, but that of a former friend and supposed surrogate?

If Obama himself had uttered the same words that Wright mentioned, I would have some serious doubts about the candidate himself. Having read up extensively about the role Wright played in Obama's life and the help he gave Obama as he was rising up through the political ranks, the remarks seem like either the posturing of a narcissist or motivated purely by monetary gain. Perhaps we should be questioning the mental health of the minister rather than lambasting him.

But you won't see me leading the Leave Rev. Wright Alone charge.

What they are using to keep the pot boiling is how could Obama go to that church for 20 years and yada yada yada?

After 9-11 I had a falling out with a friend, I had had for 15 years, over something she said and that friendship has never been restored. I knew she could sometimes be a little heartless but something she said and did made me realize that deep inside she wasn't the person I thought she was. Maybe deep inside I had an inkling but didn't want to admit it to myself until things became so ugly I had to end the friendship. Things like that can happen in life.

So you had a falling out with a friend over ONE stupid comment/view. Well what if your "friend" had been making equally stupid comments for 20 years. Would you describe this "friend" as your "mentor"? Your "spiritual adviser" would you go to this "friend" for advice about any and all political moves you might make? Well you might, but that would pretty much show you to be a fool. And after 20 years of hearing your "friend" say these incredibly stupid things when somebody just NOW said, look at your "friend" over there, he's really saying some incredibly stupid things ain't he? would you suddenly become "outraged" at the things you'd listened to for 20 years? Because it's politically expedient? They call that being a coward and a panderer. I don't want a pandering, coward of a fool in the White House thank you very much.
