just another reichwingneocon liar butth@le.

This is the same guy who accused Jon Stewart of having "delusions of grandeur."

Wiped off that Brown Lipstick from servicing Rove yet, Bob?

Yeah, when I want the inside scoop on Obama's next move, where else would I go than Bob "Benedict Arnold" Novak?

What with him being so dependable.
Unless you're actually FIGHTING terrorism, that is.

He was on Fox today giving his opinions on all sorts of things. Of course the conversation got around to the quote by Michelle about being happy and yeah, the flag pin too.

They were saying that McCain wouldn't bring up these things but that the 527s "probably" would.

If I were Michelle I would be telling Obama to nix the Hillary on the ticket idea because the last thing Obama, as president, would need to deal with is Bill telling him how to do his job. A president should only have to deal with one vice president at a time. I cannot see how Bill would sit back and let Hillary and Obama run the country without putting in his two cents as often as possible. Sure Bill could have some good advice for Obama, but he can give it to him without having Hillary in the middle.

If there were any justice in America, Novak would be in the Hague with his masters.

why would hillary want to vp, when she is either gonna be handed the gov of ny or senate leader

Michele Obama, the new "Jackie O", is going to wear thin after about the first 60 days of his inauguration if elected. They need to keep her well under wraps until this is over since her anger and arrogance is not very becoming. Insisting that she understands the plight of the average worker since they have had to shell out $10,000 yrly for dance lessons, costumes, riding lessons, gymnastics, etc., certainly made me feel for them. Yep, grassroots people all the way.

She doesn't understand common people the way Cindy "Private Jet" McCain does.

Who is Bob Novak talking to??? Who the fuck cares??? I sure as hell don't..... He's another worn out has-been trying to recycle himself yet, one more time... and make himself relevant in some way again... Ain't workin on me... Yer a punk Novakula..worthless sperm... Talk to the hand beyotch!!! JD

If Obama were to choose Hillary as VP, he'd better also hire a food taster.

How is he still not in prison? Is he not technically a traitor? Or did we pass some crazy law that makes traitors patriots?

I guess Michelle told him to wear this....

Mrs. Obama will never compare to Jackie O.

Who is comparing who to who? Are you on drugs?

Obama/Clinton white house = non-stop situation comedy tabloid entertainment!

Maybe Novak could try to find out when we will see John McCain's health records and Cindy McCain's tax returns. I think that would be a more journalistic endeavor than spreading rumors about the Obamas.

You guys need to check out this "Presidential Voting Scenario Simulations" that I found on HuffPo. The guy behind this simulator predicted that Obama would win NC by 17 (he won by 14) and lose by 2 (he lost be 2) in Indiana last week while the rest of the polls have far different results.

Now he has all of these simulations and models about three ways that Obama can improve his chances to winnning by over 60% - 70% by just raising the turnout by no more than 20% - 40% by certain groups, including youth and Blacks which is VERY possible.

If this is true, then it supports the original argument I made that this year won't be based on demographics, but on turn out of your strongest support. So whatever Obama lost in terms of the older white woman vote, he could make up for with Blacks and youth. He was either going to win by 10 or lose by 10. According to these simulations, that might be true.

Novak, Rove, Cheney, Mary Matalin and the whole bunch who outed an agent and lied us into this war should be in prison. If there is any justice in this world Novak and Rove will be tried and convicted and Bush/Cheney and friends will be handed over to the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity. That's a really big IF. I really don't believe that Obama or Clinton would do the right thing here.

You sound frustrated as hell and if you are a Hillary supporter, I can understand why you would be. The trouble with this campaign time is that the dems had two good candidates and I believe either should and could beat McCain. I don't blame you for being angry and frustrated. Were I in your shoes I would probably be feeling the same way.

I don't worry about Bill's sexual escapades, I worry about his verbal escapades. He is so defensive of Hillary on the campaign trail, imagine how he would be in the white house if she were vice president. Not a pretty scene.

I really don't care how the Obama's spend their personal income. Nor would I expect them to care how I spend mine. I grew up poor as hell but I don't live today the way I did back then. If they want to spend their money on their little girls, that's no ones business but theirs.

I can't think of a single instance where Bill's defense of his wife was unjustified. That being said the only instance I found of a candidates spouse being over the top and unjustified was this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN1qZMBE9Gc I found this disturbing on several levels. It is the only instance in this campaign of a general attack on a candidates family. Whatever Bill's past actions neither Hillary nor Chelsea deserved that attack. Furthermore the idea that someone runs or controls a family is a rather disturbing concept in its' own right. It may be necessary for both the Obamas to do this sort of thing in order to win in November but spare me the holier-than-thou nonsense.

You probably forgot about Bill trying to explain the Bosnia story after Hillary had already said it wasn't true. But that's okay.

I don't know what you took away from what Michelle said on that video, but I didn't think it reflected on the Clinton family. I took it as a general comment about anyone.

I just watched that video and I don't think anyone could take anything from that other than a slam on the Clinton family. She is an arrogant, rude and tactless woman. I suppose she could have been talking about their big supporters, the Kennedy's, but I doubt it. Talk about a state of denial - the Obama supporters are redefining it daily.

And please don't scream back at me that I must be a racist, neo-con troll because I'm not bamboozled by the Obama's.

With all due respect I think you might be a little out of touch. I don't know what experience you have with putting kids through public school lately, but $10,000 doesn't seem like that much, with the exception of the riding lessons. First of all, things are different from when I went to public school Today, everything is EXTRA, and that means all extra-curicular activities....football, band, chorus, soccer, cheerleading, whatever. Most kids need to participate in out-of-school activities, dance lessons or out-of-school sports coaching. It's healthy. Welcome to middle-class America and the struggles.

Thanks for understanding. This is one of the few times I have not been called a racist or worse. I am just so sick of the sexism and insults.

In the end, the goal is to take back our country and not have four more years of bush. That's where we have to focus. I know it's pissy as hell now, but once we all pull together and get aimed in the same direction, I think we will all be enjoying some smooth sailing for a change.

I must be a racist, neo-con troll because I'm not bamboozled by the Obama's.

I guess you said yourself. no need for anyone to repeat it.

If you are going to quote something I said, then quote the whole sentence. Chopping it up to suit your purposes destroys your credibility and makes you look foolish. What I said was that there was no need to call me names because I don't support Obama.

Pat and Rico -

I wouldn't mind making $4 million a year myself, frankly, sure would help out quite a lot. But in the world of presidential candidates, 4 million isn't exactly the biggest fortune around.

Seems there's a bit of unseemly envy here - don't know about Michele, but her husband sure as hell has experienced what it's like to be poor and struggling. So he went to law school and became a success - isn't that what the American Dream used to be about? Would you rather have a candidate who went to law school and failed miserably and if it weren't for enormous family connections and wealth would otherwise be totally incapable of supporting himself never mind his two daughters by the sweat of his brain? Hey, we got one in the White House right now...

If I had two daughters, like most people, I'd want to supply them with whatever I could to give them every possible advantage, particularly in a country where advantages are thin on the ground. Two daughters, divided by dance lessons, costumes, riding lessons (and don't give me any shit about riding horses being elitist, go watch rodeo and tell me those people are snobby toffs!), gymnastics, music. Then divide that into $10,000. Roughly $1,000 per year, per kid, per extra-curricular activity. That's not a lot. Which, by the way, is being paid to someone who's making their living off it.

So give us all a break - uber-millionaires like Kerry and Clinton are so much further removed from grassroots reality than either Michelle and Barack. I don't resent their money - I just wish I, too, had enough to pay for music lessons and dance and riding... and maybe if he becomes President, we all might have a better chance at it ourselves.

Well good for you and good for them. Just don't turn it into a whine about how tough you are having making ends meet for the extras when the average guy is sitting at the pump wondering if he can afford to gas up to get to work and if he will be able to afford the mortgage payment when it comes due. No one is denying them anything but a little sensitivity might go a long way when complaining about extras.

Then Who IS Talking to Bob Novak?

Well, we know he's been dating Ann Coulter, so Ann probably heard Michelle talking when Ann was hiding behind a potted palm at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse when he took his family there for the occasional steak and glass of wine he likes.

Well, judging by the comments on this post as well as others that are so far into the Obama camp, should he get the nomination he has already declared, we should have no problem joining hands and bowing our heads as we all march into the voting booth together. All of us racist, lowbrows, uneducated hillbillies, old ladies, passe democrats, unnecessary females, and worse, will coalesce in time for a happy hayride over to the polls and smile away any differences we have had during the primary. Just like nothing has happened or been said to herd us back into the fold. Forget Donna Brazile and the divisiveness she has created. And for those who by that time may not be able to afford the gas to get there and may be facing deeper financial problems like with food, housing, medical and the like, don't worry because those others who can are also feeling the pinch for those darn soccer games and away trips and the skating and gymnastic lessons, they just keep getting more expensive so they can really feel your pain!

So yes, there is a lot of feeling for you out there because you can see they relate, because if you are making $100,00 or more its a pinch but when you are making $50,000 or less it is a tragedy.

Obama is so awesome when it comes to brushing off the right wing. He dose not take the bait for a second...perfect, people are getting this tactic.

NOBODY gets this upset if their RICH candidate is losing unless they are a troll or a little touched. Or working for someone else's campaign. They are politicians. Get it together or go see a doctor.

Always with the "troll" or a "little" touched to end an argument. So what you are saying is that anyone not onboard the Obama express needs to "see a doctor". Pretty extreme rebuttal when someone disagrees.

Pat J @ 75 - man oh man, you could incinerate marshmallows with the vitriol you're giving off there. What, I decide that of the three surviving candidates my best bet is on Obama, and because I don't choose Hillary this makes me a bad person?? I'd really like just to vote FOR someone once in awhile rather than AGAINST.

Used to be the 'average' person in America was middle-classed. As in, with a bit of budgeting and financial planning, able to pay a mortgage, save up for his kids' college educations, and afford those extras having kids seems to require, like baseball uniforms and soccer practice and dance lessons and piano/violin/tuba lessons, and swimming lessons, and riding lessons, or anything else kids seem to need - let's not even go into buying Gameboys and whatever incarnation the Cabbage Patch dolls are popping up for this year.

The 'average' person is gone - along with the middle class. When you struggle to find the $1,000 a year per kid, per lesson on a 4 million a year income, the middle class is well and truly dead.

Last time I looked, Hillary made $20 million on her own last year, not counting Bill's income. And she signed onto a bill making it near impossible for average people suffering financial disaster due to things like, oh, catastrophic illness or job loss, to file bankruptcy, after taking money from credit card lobbyists. So how in touch with the 'grassroots' would this make Obama's only real challenger?

Yeah, maybe Michelle Obama can afford that $10,000 a year for extra-mural stuff for her kids while a huge section of Americans can't... anymore. Including me. Probably including most of us here. But if I'm going to vote for someone, it's going to be a choice between someone who is perhaps a lot better off than I am but not that far outside the realm of hope, and someone who is astronomically better off than I am and making it harder for me to have any hope of 'middle-classdom'.

This doesn't make me racist, lowbrow, an uneducated hillbillies, a passe Democrats or an unnecessary female, although I'm probably rapidly approaching old-lady phase. I'm not a slavering tool of the Obama camp, or a self-loathing Hillary-hater - I'm a voter. I'm making as informed a decision as I can.

And to paint me or anyone who would dream of NOT voting for Clinton as if I were a slavering tool of the Obama camp, or a self-loathing Hillary-hater only serves to alienate me further from the Hillary campaign. It shows profound disrespect for my cognitive abilities and capacity for informed choice; so on behalf of intelligent voters everywhere, go toast your marshmallows somewhere else.

SUCK ON IT, PATJ. She get props from everyone who wasn't born with a silver spoon up his or her ass, becasue she knows what a work ethic is.

There simply is no one who can come close to that chicken-hawk, frat-boy in OUR whitehouse when it comes to UNJUSTIFIED ANGER AND ARROGANCE. Peddle your bullshit somewhere else, rovian troll.

Nonny Mouse: Please scroll up and view the things that have been aimed at me simply for one comment I made. The last referred me to a doctor, a psychiatrist I presume, because the person did not agree with me. And that is perfectly okay, no one is required to agree with me. I read your response and it was fine until I got to the end when you signed off by telling me to go toast my marshmallows somewhere else. And nowhere in any of my postings did I refer to Hillary Clinton but yet you characterized my post as if I were attacking you personally. Not at all.

My point, and it is only my point of view, is that somewhere in all this campaign rhetoric the plight of many people who earn under a certain income, who struggle daily to make ends meet, who may have to work two jobs to achieve that end, who face the cost of rising gasoline, who worry over the loss of health insurance or maybe forgo it to pay the mortgage, who cannot afford those extras, are part of this equation. Sexism has been championed by bloggers and supporters and I doubt that you would deny this. Again, the point was to illustrate the difference in status. Those who can do, those he cannot do without.

To be able to express this has led to some pretty harsh comments toward me and that is okay, I can take it. But nowhere were my remarks meant to be taken so personally when they were only intended to be illustrative of the divisiveness of this primary.

Not true, many dems feel that way about Michelle. She is so far from being a Jackie O it is ridiculous. There is no comparison between the two. And she is one angry woman and it won't be pretty having to look at her for four years.

Actually, while I intend to vote for Obama, his quote (“My wife does not talk to Bob Novak on a regular basis.”) is a non-denial denial. He didn't dispute the facts of the quote. He didn't even say that his wife did not talk to Novak in this instance, just not on a "regular basis." While I doubt that Michelle, was, in fact, the one who actually passed on the info, someone close to her could have and I've little doubt that Mrs. Obama has ill feelings for the Clintons.

Plus, think of it this way, since Novak's credibility is so questionable, it would allow Barak to dismiss the story in an off-handed manner, mitigating the fallout while still getting the message out that Hill ain't gonna make the cut. I'm not saying with any certainty, that's what happened, but it is not outside the realm of possibility. If that's how it happened, however, it's actually a clever way of handling the situation.

Psst - That Michelle Obama is 'one angry woman' isn't really that much of a deficit. I'm glad she's angry. Someone damned well should be.

Give me passion and honesty over composure and etiquette any day.

Instead of Cindy "I stole pills and ate them," or Bill "I got goodies"? Yeah, angry stands up pretty well.

Time to abandon the kitchen sink approach, you think? I'm staying hot over this until the super-delegates get my message.

With a new Democratic administration looming on the horizon, Novak, and all the other corporate media shills should be denied access. Without access they are nothing. Let them sell apples on street corners. It would be a more honest living than what they are engaged in now.

Novak is nothing more than an embalmed corpse that the Corporate Media remove from it's crypt as needed and then shock it with electrical prods to make it say what THEY want it to say ............... it's that simple.
