Obama VS. Hillary/Bill/McCain/ CNN/MSNBC/FOX/ GOP/Chaos Gone Wild PILE-ON & is still AHEAD!

[FrenchieCat]

And has done it in a positive way......choosing not to smear Hillary where he could have.

That Man's got Game!

1. First rec !

2. I just think the man is doing really well......

Damn, he must be likeable....cause "they" sure are trying!

69. 89th rec!

I've been busy.

[shraby]

3. He's living proof that positive campaigning

WORKS!

[FrenchieCat]

4. Because we all know in our hearts and heads, all of the attack he could have been

waging to totally tear Hillary apart.....the ones that we know the GOP would use against Hillary, which is why she won't be our nominee.

[SwampG8r]

33. when i talk to people about

voting for him this always comes up
"why doesn't he fight back he has a lot more to work with?"
i have to take the time to explain why that kind of politics is over
once they get it the smiles come out
i have turned 3 edwards supporters and 2 hillary people and I'm working on 3 or 4 unhappy republicans
and all i have to do is tell them that its ok to be a decent person and be in politics
that its ok to reach across the aisle to your rival(not your enemy your rival) as much as we disagree
the republicans are our RIVALS and they are also our fellow americans and we must for the good of all admit that many of their concerns are as legitimate as ours and to refuse to address them leaves us constantly in a state of political hostility that benefits none but those entrenched in partisan power
(the edwards people rarely need this concept explained)
its all about decency

as tom wolfe says
Decency! And decency isn't a deal, it's not a contract or a hustle or an angle! Decency... decency is what your grandmother taught you. It's in your bones!

[Just-plain-Kathy]

34. It's mot just postitive campaigning, it's how he addresses every attack...

...and never lets one get by him.

5. President Obama

Sounds great, doesn't it?

6. He's run his campaign with class and dignity in the face of one of

the most ridiculous primary contests in quite a long time.

The man has heart and the man has empathy.

[BeyondGeography]

7. Quite a ride

Knew it would be tough, but I expected Hillary to be the main problem, not the media. The fact that she never really threatened him meant the media had to overcompensate. And it has.

Fuck 'em.

[Jackpine Radical]

58. The media are ALWAYS the problem.

Or at least the visible part of it. The bottom of the problem, of course, is the ownership class, whose interests the media serve.

[Shae]

8. Amazing, isn't it?

[Cali_Democrat]

9. Hillary supporters need to understand....

That if the corporate-media and GOP are cheer leading for your candidate, then your probably backing the wrong horse.

[jenmito]

12. I can really see Will Smith playing him in the movie about how Obama became president!

But Obama is much better looking. :)

[Duder]

13. Because they both have big ears

An older couple approached Smith and said, "We love what you're doing. You're so great for the country!" In true Hollywood fashion, Smith said, "Thank you!" As the star walked away, the old man said, "And we'll be sure to vote for you." :)

[ecstatic]

15. That's funny. I could see that really happening nt

[madrchsod]

16. all the better to hear what people are saying.................

[jenmito]

20. Is that a true story?

I know Obama said he'd like Will Smith to play him since his ears are like his.

[Duder]

23. Yes, I believe Will

Will Smith told the story in February at the Motion Picture Association of America in Washington D.C.

[jenmito]

24. Oh. That's funny!

They look nothing alike! But in the OP's picture, Obama DOES look a tiny bit like Will Smith from far away with shades on.

[Forrest Greene]

64. Wow, That Really Works

Use makeup to narrow Smith's chin & accent his cheeks & there's Obama's triangular lower face, then darken Smith's eyebrow's for that almost-a-unibrow look, grow his hair out a little bit, & you've got it. He already has the ears & teeth.

Cool.

[goclark]

55. Will Smith supports him too

:bounce:

[ecstatic]

14. That pic is hot! nt

[anigbrowl]

18. He looks badass with shades.

[WillyToad]

25. Obama has his supporters to do his smearing for him...

Which has metastasized into open hatred. Obama has never acknowledged it, pretending to be above it all, even though he knows it is done in his name and for his benefit.

Bush did the http://dir.salon.com/story/news/feature/2004/08/28/moore_rove_swift_boat/">exact same thing in 2000 and 2004

"As he was rebuilding the Republican Party in Texas, Rove developed a template for smearing opponents. The goal was to have his candidates hover above the fray while urging their opponents to concentrate on issues, thereby constantly putting them in a position of having to play defense and deny unfounded accusations. Eventually, the Rove client, according to the script, would step out to demand an end to the ugliness. Of course, Rove wrote the narrative of these plans in such a way that calling for a truce would not occur until the damage had already been done to his opposition."

[DemGa]

32. Exactly right

Team Obama has done a slick campaign of character assault while Obama pretends he's "new politics." How some can stand this hypocrisy is just beyond me.

[wileedog]

37. While Hillary has been blatant, demonstrable slime

Is your vague innuendo supposed to change anyone's mind that Hillary somehow has more integrity?

[DemGa]

38. It's only "vague innuendo" if you are uninformed

When you constantly assault someone as dishonest - that's character assassination. Some call it "new politics."

35. Millions of Unpaid Surrogates

vs the icky overpaid one that was in Sen. Clinton's campaign until he got busted being greedy.

[Politicalboi]

36. This rings a bell

It sounds a lot like what Hillary is doing to Obama. Hillary has learned a lot from Rove and Fixed Noise.

Let 'em bring it on now!

We've got someone to believe in and who will not only fight for us - but will win for us!!

Coattails, here we come!

I was thinking the same thing as you all this last month, Frenchie.
He is dah man!

[Skwmom]

42. I've thought the same. But don't forget the LOCAL news channels controlled by the GOP.

For instance, after the 2000 the Carlye Group got busy purchasing local channels in OH and other closely contested states. Can you imagine how bias those local news channels were? They probably outdid CNN and MSNBC if that is possible.

[bhikkhu]

43. Darn - "error - you've already recommended this thread"

Thanks though, FrenchieCat. Brief but excellent.

47. My Letter to Dan Abrams

I expect FAUX news to push Wright into the ground, but I must say I was so broken by what Dan Abrams and the Verdict did on Friday and have aired it at least 3 times that I know of. Then for Hillary MSNBC has been running the fairytale life of Hillary Clinton over and over.

And for the record as Black Voter, I do not Support Obama b/c he is black, I chose to support Senator Obama, based on the way he ran his campaign. It upsets me to know end that Hillary says she wants to help the American People economically but leaves a firestorm of people she OWES money too from state to state. If you Owe someone $25,000 and you have over $109 million PAY THEM THEIR MONEY UP FRONT!
Ok on to the real reason I am posting for the first time.

So I sent my First letter to the networks ever:
Wanna here it, here it go!

Dear Mr. Abrams

I wish I was not writing you this letter right now, but after your show Friday May 2nd, well I just have one question that I would like answered. Why?

I have enjoyed watching your show, although I have not always agreed with you political opinion. I have always appreciated your fairness, with respect to, reporting about everyone good or bad. Most pundits on the news are extremely transparent with which candidate they favor. However, in your case, you always seem to remain on the fence merely reporting all sides equally. I respected you greatly for that ability to stay neutral.

Until your show tonight, I know you have to do as you are told, I understand there are people behind the scenes that ultimately pull your strings, but why did you do this show? Your show did not bring any new information to light. It only served to do exactly what FAUX news was doing simultaneously while your show was running, keep the wright issue at the forefront, to prevent Senator Obama from getting to the White House.

Does your show plan to devote an hour long special on how many jobs left this country because of Former President Bill Clinton's Policies? Or a story about how Senator Clinton is ONLY focusing on the "white uneducated vote" (MSM's words not mine). Counting on them to be too ignorant to know that her and McCain's Gas Tax Holiday Plan would put 300,000 people out of work. 12,000 of those jobs lost would be in NC, and IN. Directly costing the lively hood of the very people she has been trying to get to vote for her. Meanwhile, Senator Obama has never tried to target just one class of voters, the focus of his campaign has been to bring everyone together.

Will there be an hour long special about John McCain admitting today that the war in Iraq was about oil? ("My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East," McCain)I think the death of 4055 Soldiers who have died in a war that has lasted longer than all the wars of the 20th century, is far more important than another dead horse beating special about Obama and Wright.

My husband works with the one of the commands that is responsible for telling mothers and wives their loved one is dead. He told me he doesn't know if he will be able to keep it together the next time he has to tell a Mother her son died serving his country.
I am in no way a Wright supporter I never heard of him before this year, but why is Chris Mathews, and Keith Olbermann, and many other "reporters" allowed to acknowledge that this administration lied, but when Wright shouts it from the pulpit he is un-american.

I am sure they paid you well for this special, I certainly hope the money is worth it.

Be blessed Dan Abrams you are officially no better than FAUX News.

[goclark]

56. Bravo! I call them THE SPINNERS

and it is so easy to see through what they are doing.

They are talking to people that have brains but can't use them because they are afraid,very afraid.

They are not just afraid of OBAMA, they are afraid of US controlling America.

This election is the last stand for the POWER GRAPING SPINNERS.

Never before in the history of American politics has a candidate run their campaign by involving so many people! Never has the candidate.s money come from donations from so many people. His campaign is brilliant.

Obama has brilliantly used his "experience" as a Community Organize US to be "We the People of the United States Of America."

They are afraid and they will stop at nothing.

Fired Up ~ Let's March! :patriot:

[Perry Logan]

48. It's a case of "triumph over followers."

[quickesst]

49. Typical DU Obama supporter....

conveniently forgetting the "love" shown Obama at the start of the campaign by the same msm mentioned in the thread title. When he finally gets a taste of what HRC has been enduring for years, they cry foul, and scream, "it's not fair". :cry: Funny that Obama's supporters cannot keep themselves from measuring their support for Obama by the level of hatred held for his democratic opponent. Thanks.

70. On the contrary, he is not crying at all.

I'm not sure how you gathered your information.

[moondust]

51. Perhaps some good news.

Corporate media, the Clinton campaign, the McCain campaign, the RNC, and/or any Obama haters in Illinois have had weeks to dig up more dirt on Jeremiah Wright and project it onto Obama. If they had anything more than the 2-3 minutes of video clips they have run continuously for weeks now we would have seen it in the run-up to Tuesday's primaries in their effort to knock Obama out. It ain't there! They have already played and replayed a thousand times the worst bullshit they've got and he's still standing strong!
