As he said it on Thursday’s post regarding three Wednesday Events Bigger Than John Edwards

On the other hand, Obama supporters should hope that the campaign’s skillful effort to wipe the West Virginia results out of the news did not cause them to put their heads in the sand regarding the very real implications of the blowout and the cautionary exit poll data. The Obama campaign is aggressively downplaying the importance of West Virginia as a general election battleground and marshalling other polling statistics to suggest there are no lessons to be learned from Tuesday’s outcome. But it is clear that race and class are going to play a role – maybe a decisive one – against McCain, and Obama’s apparent lack of strategy in West Virginia suggests he has not solved his ongoing challenges in winning over white working-class voters. And it is not clear that John Edwards can help Obama fix these problems.

What he is saying is that Obama has a problem with some white voter because he is black, and since Obama is black he has to have a strategy to make these white voters vote for him.

How can one solve the race issue in one election cycle? The Harvard education didn’t teach him that some things are and continue to be part of the American life.

On CNN:

Although I don’t have a video of it, they were discussion the WV vote and he said that, I am paraphrasing, that Obama has a problem with white working class voters. And someone countered, saying this is the primary and some of those democrats will come home. He countered by asking a hypothetical, if all three candidates were on the ticket who would most WV choose? The answer was McCain. Read the rest of this entry »

According to a friend who has access to the exit polling data! That is ok though, most of WVers are idiots.

Mark Halpern has more:

Two in 10 voters say Obama shares the views of his former pastor, Rev. Wright, “a lot.” Another three in 10 say Obama shares Wright’s views “somewhat.” Nearly a quarter said Obama shares Wright’s views “not much” and another quarter said they don’t think the candidate shares his former pastor’s views at all.

Jake Tapper, on the same day that Newsweek reports that Obama doesn’t micromanage his campaign staff and encourages them away from the blame first strategy that has assuaged many political campaigns; he is reporting that Obama blames his staff for the campaign mistakes.

Obama “doesn’t micromanage,” Axelrod tells NEWSWEEK. But, he adds, “there’s never a doubt who the alpha dog is.” The day after his big defeat in Ohio and his popular-vote loss in Texas, Obama traveled to the large corporate offices in Chicago that serve as his campaign headquarters. The mood was grim; they had, after all, blown their third chance to end the primary season early—after the shock of New Hampshire and the muddled results of Super Tuesday. Obama toured the office, visiting every desk to thank his mostly young staffers for their efforts and urging them to keep their chins up. Then he walked into a conference room for a far tougher two-hour conversation with his senior staff. “We rise or fall together,” he started out. “I’m not pointing fingers at any single person because we all share responsibility.” He talked through his own mistakes as a candidate and went around the table asking people for their input in the postmortem. Speaking calmly but intensely, he then took control to explain how he saw it. He worked his way through a detailed, handwritten list of what went right and wrong—including how they misspent time and money, how they relied too much on impersonal rallies and how the schedule was flawed.

The same guy who same “I’m not pointing fingers at any single person after the Texas and Ohio losses, is apparently according to Jake Tapper blames staffers all the time.

Jake Tapper quotes ten articles written by him in which Obama blames staffers for mistakes of the campaign.

So, for those keeping track at home, that’s ten instances of Obama publicly blaming his staff for various screw-ups.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!

Last July he wrote about Sen. Barack Obama’s inability to hire good staffers.

And yesterday he wrote about it again “Obama’s Inability to Hire Good Help Rears Its Head … Again!”

If this is not apparently trying to make it seem like Obama’s image of “lets work together” is fake I don’t know what it is.  Can both Jake and Newsweek both be accurate?

This is not the first big trasngression either; Jake Tapper claimed that he smelled smoke while talking to Obama and Media matters reported about it.

Last week, relying solely on his sense of smell, Tapper basically accused Sen. Barack Obama of being a liar because, seven months ago, Tapper, who claims to be a bloodhound of sorts, got a whiff of smoke on Obama when he ran into the senator for “a second” outside the Senate chamber in the Capitol.

Are they high or are they stupid! Some of the things they are saying is so not in touch with reality that I am questioning the level of their sanity.

This is just from one entry, the whole blog is full of ridiculous comments.

Roger has written a scenario in which Hillary will win the race overnight. So much so that Hillary will declare victory!

WEST VIRGINIA–645,000 Democrats Kentucky 1,685,000 Democrats Puerto Rico 1,500,000 Democrats IF 50% of these people vote as in the other states-THAT’S 2,000,000 VOTES—–IF HILLARY GETS 65% of the votes-SHE WILL PICK UP OVER 600,000 in the popular vote total. IF 70%-OVER 800,000. These are do-able numbers. Keep the faith. The important thing to do is DONATE, DONATE, DONATE and CALL,CALL,CALL. If Hillary does this,which she will and enough people call Oregon and BO gets upset there after he,s already said he,ll win there and his campaign will declare victory on May 20th. It,ll change this race overnight and the rightful person will declare victory. OUR HILLARY!

Suef has become an independent because Obama disenfranchised 2 states, apparently:

Hillary is supportive of all 50 states votes being counted.

That is what a DEMOCRACY is!!

BO is trying to suppress the last states and the 2 disenfranchised states.

It is outrageous that Americans stand for this, no less the leaders of the democratic party.

That’s why I have switched to Independent.

Lee explains the reason supers delegates are supporting Obama

The Super Delegates are afraid to speak their heart and they are afraid of a racial uprising.

Update: Apparently I was right, he didn’t back anyone! Although he voted for Obama!

No wonder he lost the nomination!

A man with no testicular Fortitude! Scared shitless of supporting a candidate that he has been hiding with kids in Disney World, while the democratic candidates where duking it out in his state.

He has no balls to back Obama or Clinton so he is staying out of it. If it was the healthcare plan he should pick Clinton. If it is hope and change or honesty he should back Obama. Either way back someone.

For months he campaigned with his populist message, claiming to be a fighter, claiming that he could stand up against the lobbyist and the Oil companies. In the end, he can’t even stand up to Clinton.

He is full of hot air, and the American People know it, he lost the Democratic nomination with a woman that lies and an African American.

He lost to Kerry in 2004 primary and he lost to Cheney in the 2004 election. He is no fighter, he is a man with no balls, no conviction, no strength and no fight.

No its being reported that he is set to appear on Friday’s “Today” show on NBC tomorrow and he is not going to say anything that is going to outcome of his status in the sideline. Read the rest of this entry »

Update: She is staying in so no big deal! It looks like June 15th.

For a few months now we, regular folks knew that you where damaging the democratic nominee while you had no real shot at winning the nomination.

And you did, you threw the Kitchen sink and sent your barking dogs out in order to dig a wedge between the races and the genders. Now after everything you put the Democratic nominee through you want to drop out?

No! You don’t get to drop out on your own terms.

No because you made a non issue into an issue. Michigan and Florida will have to get seated somehow.

No, Obama is not the de facto nominee; he beat you fair and square by all the matrix you created. It’s too late for a gracious withdrawal. You have to wait till Obama clinches the nomination on May 20^th.

You have to wait till you win West Virginia! Because after what you have done to the party, if you drop out now before WV and Obama loses big, it will sit well with the Obama’s supporters and the party officials. Read the rest of this entry »

Move on GOP, no Obama is not Muslim, Wright doesn’t speak for him either. If you insist on using Wight, Hussein, Flag pins, bittergate or anything else to swift boat Obama and the democrats to get elected then please do so.

You will learn real quick that it’s not going to work;

• Don Cazayoux win on May 3^rd on special election for Louisiana’s Sixth Congressional District came in a district that Bush carried by 21 percentage points in 2000 and 19 points in 2004.
• Speaker Hastert’s seat in Illinois had been held by Republicans for 75 of the last 76 years.

Your leader, Newt Gingrich is now “pleading Republicans for Real Change to Avoid Real Disaster.”

When the speaker is urging not to go negative, it’s catastrophic.

It’s time; it’s about time you stand on your own and campaign on the issues. Or you can attempt to manufacture issues to create a wedge issue.

The so called “working people” are indeed bitter. You can’t have it your way, an expensive war, a tax cut for the rich and a trade policy that bankrupts the towns your base consistency lives in, is too much after eight years. Read the rest of this entry »

Black people didn’t think white people would vote for a black president and thus didn’t support him.

To our surprise he won Iowa and got many votes in New Hampshire and Nevada. And Bill Clinton made some comments and we got angry and threw our support to Obama. And he won the nomination; by the real count, the delegation math.

And now we find out that they we find a way to get him out of his earned nomination. Our worst fear came true; America is not ready for a black president.

How could anyone possibly think Obama is the same person as Wright? If Americans actually believe that Obama is like Wright in anyway then they must fear black people. They must think that Obama actually is a Manchurian candidate of Black Liberation Theology what ever that is.

How is one to believe that some American actually think that Obama is secret Muslim while attending a racist church? How could they actually think that 8,000 members of a church are racist?

We are not ready for a black president, we need a few more Bushs before we vote for Baracks.
