Delusional Hillary In Denial and Obama is the Nominee

Posted on May 6, 2008 - Filed Under Politics | Comments Off

          

It is really sad to see otherwise intelligent people looking at tonight’s results and still thinking they have a chance. Lanny Davis is on CNN right now sounding bitter and Hillary is now talking like she has won the nomination. They are taking a comment by Barack Obama about Indiana perhaps being a tie breaker and spinning it like he has given up if he loses it. Obama’s comment was more about if he won it and less about whether she won it. Her winning Indiana is a pickup of maybe one or two delegates and overall for the night a huge net loss of delegates. Absurdity reigns, it seems, in Clinton country. Tonight is a night where the nomination
First off, as of 10:41 PM EST, Indiana is not a Hillary victory. One county has reported no votes and it is expected to be a nice Obama win. Second, he has been closing the gap since 7 PM and it sits at a little under 4% and around a 35,000 vote gap. This county holds 8% of Indiana’s population and other counties are still counting.

Second, Clinton winning the nomination cannot be done without utterly wrecking the Democratic base. This is a base that is not as much working class whites as they are more firmly the blacks she brushes off at every turn. These working class whites will swing to McCain in larger proportions in the end. The question that needs to be asked instead is how Hillary will bring back the black base once she steals the hard fought nomination from Obama.

Third, Hillary is NOT a populist. Rinse and repeat.

Fourth, Obama won tonight. The Hillary supporters are sounding very depressed, the media is very much spinning this as a major Obama victory, and Obama seems to have moved on. Donna Brazille, a non-committed super delegate, could be a sign of what is ahead. Her mantra tonight was one of needing to move on and unite the party. She never said she was lining up behind Obama but her arguments with Davis and others suggest they need to stop say “my party” and “my candidate” and start saying “our”.

Finally, Hillary needs to stop pimping her website. While Obama is talking of lofty aspirations, she is sounding like a 14 year old l33t blogger that desperately needs to get a life.

UPDATE: Hillary is not sounding as chipper as she was a few weeks ago. Also,  she has almost morphed entirely into John Edwards, going so far as to use a John Mellencamp song and adopting n almost entirely populist stance. Quite humorous for a multimillionaire to do, let alone a Clinton that we all know is a friend to big businesses.

DEAN DNC NIGHTMARE: THREATS FROM DONOR$ AS DELEGATE DISPUTE GROWS

Posted on March 14, 2008 - Filed Under Politics | Comments Off

          

Reported from Drudge:

DEAN DNC NIGHTMARE: THREATS FROM DONOR$ AS DELEGATE DISPUTE GROWS

I have a feeling this is more to do with Hillary connected donors then those who support Obama. If Hillary doesn’t get her way she will be harpooning the party.

UPDATE: I was right…

Reflecting how tense the situation has become, influential fund-raisers for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton have stepped up their behind-the-scenes pressure on national party leaders to resolve the matter, with some even threatening to withhold their donations to the Democratic National Committee unless it seats the delegates from the two states or holds new primaries there.

Does Experience Matter?

Posted on March 4, 2008 - Filed Under Politics | 18 Comments

          

Throughout his campaign, Barack Obama has received much criticism about his lack of experience. These attacks have been most frequently directed at him from Hillary Clinton, his opponent in the race. While an argument can be made that his and her records both lack true experience, a better argument is to look back at the historical record on presidents that lacked experience. Two presidents short on experience were tested during times of crises and both came through proving that the best experience is on the job.

The first is Abraham Lincoln. His political experience consisted of a failed run for the Illinois General Assembly in 1832 before finally being elected to it in 1834. He also served four terms in the Illinois House of Representatives and one term in the US House of Representatives. He also lost to Stephen Douglass in a bid for a US Senate seat. The second is John F. Kennedy. He ran for a vacated US House of Representatives seat and won. He held this seat for six years. Later, he was elected to a US Senate seat which he held for one term.

Neither of these presidents held executive duties. Compared to most of their rivals they were very inexperienced, yet both left marks on their generation. Lincoln guided the nation through the US Civil War and is now considered by many to have been our greatest president. Kennedy guided our nation through one of the darkest hours during the Cold War: the Cuban Missile Crises. Neither did this in a vacuum. Both made missteps early in their administrations. Lincoln, early in the Civil War, had trouble finding a commanding general before settling on Ulysses S. Grant. Kennedy made a terrible misstep by going ahead with the Bay of Pigs invasion. Despite this they both persevered, bolstered by the intelligent choices they made in forming their cabinets and learning from mistakes.

While an administration under Barack Obama could go the way of Lincoln and Kennedy or down a darker path, an argument that his inexperience makes him a bad choice is ridiculous. Instead, one must judge him on other considerations such as his intelligence, issues and ability to inspire not only his base but even his rivals.

Clinton Reaches New Low; “CLINTON STAFFERS CIRCULATE ‘DRESSED’ OBAMA”

Posted on February 25, 2008 - Filed Under Politics | 8 Comments

          

This is via Drudge:

With a week to go until the Texas and Ohio primaries, stressed Clinton staffers circulated a photo over the weekend of a “dressed” Barack Obama.

The photo, taken in 2006, shows the Democrat frontrunner fitted as a Somali Elder, during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya.

The senator was on a five-country tour of Africa.

“Wouldn’t we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC?” questioned one campaign staffer, in an email obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT.

In December, the campaign asked one of its volunteer county coordinators in Iowa to step down after the person forwarded an e-mail falsely stating that Barack Obama is a Muslim.

Drudge then shows two others pics of leaders in traditional garb:

Of course this is a new low, but to be expected from a Clinton campaign that is unable to find a voice or common direction in her last, floundering days. I am expecting her to hang on until the convention and to try even more insidious tactics even after Obama has won the nomination.

UPDATE: Perhaps some context:

While growing up in Hawaii, Sen. Barack Obama, the Illinois freshman on the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Africa, was referred to as the kid with the funny name. He often jokes that people always get his name wrong, calling him “Alabama” or “Yo Mama.” Supporters believe that one day no one will make that mistake. He is the only black in the U.S. Senate and the fifth African American senator in the country’s history.

Obama has been compared to Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Bill Clinton. He was in national political wilderness until he received the spotlight on July 27, 2004, in Boston where he delivered one of the best speeches in convention history. There, Obama sold his vision of an America that was not “pockmarked by racism and fear and led by politicians born into privilege and coached into automaton.”

“In no other country on earth is my story even possible. I think that what people are most hungry for in politics is authenticity,” he said.

The budding potential Democratic presidential hopeful recently ended a two-week cross-continental trip to Africa. He started in the south, continued through the eastern Horn of Africa, visiting South Africa, Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Chad, but canceled his trip to Congo and Rwanda on advice he received from the U.S. embassy in Kenya, which warned him of renewed violence in these unstable regions.

Obama’s unusual background is telling and germinates inspiration for minorities, especially African Americans.

“He’s all of us! He’s not black! He’s not white. He really drives breathless optimism among black and white, red, and blue. No one raises $14,500,000 because of his ‘unusual background,’” a fan said.

Why has he been so successful? His deceased Kenyan father, Barack Hussein Obama, had benefited from the famous airlift of Kenyans in the 1960’s, and won a scholarship to further his education in Hawaii — spearheaded by a former Kenyan cabinet minister, the late Tom Mboya.

He is not embarrassed by his father’s goat-herding heritage. Once in America, his father paved his way to enter Harvard, graduating with an advanced degree in Economics. His father also met and married a Caucasian woman, Shirley Ann Dunham, from Kansas, Missouri. Barack Obama, Jr., was born of that union. But the couple divorced two years after his birth. His father later decided to return home and make a worthy contribution to his beloved homeland, serving as an economist in Kenya’s Treasury department.

Obama’s parents are now deceased, but the young Obama never abandoned his roots, even though be barely knew his father. Men play a vital role in the welfare of a son in African culture. A true son would cue up for clan succession or inheritance. Obama traced his father’s dreams by attending Harvard. The Founding Fathers’ vision of a meritocratic America worked for everyone then. Does the system work for everyone today?

“How do you leap-frog from neighborhood activist to U.S. senator to perhaps even higher office?” an ardent supporter wondered.

The senator’s success is more complicated than is readily apparent.

Obama’s African itinerary began in Cape Town, South Africa. There he toured the infamous Robben Island prison, where Nobel Peace Laureate Nelson Mandela endured most of his 27-year prison sentence, under a notorious apartheid regime. He spent time viewing Mandela’s cell, and toured the Hector Pieterson Museum in Soweto where the cancerous seeds of apartheid had sprouted. Spending several days in Johannesburg, he met local AIDS/HIV activists but criticized local leaders for their tardy response to AIDS. He sat down with Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the architect of the Truth and Reconciliation doctrine who was a victim of a nefarious, divisive, and racist system.

Euphoria and a rousing homecoming celebration awaited Obama in Kenya. The tumultuous welcome consisted of wild drumbeats heralding a musical showdown that depicted only locally made instruments. It was an emotional visit, returning as he was to his African roots. Obama has shown real enthusiasm in tracing his roots and has visited his ancestral homeland twice, first as a youth and later to introduce his fiancée, Michelle, to his relatives. This was his first visit since being elected to the U.S. Senate. Roads were paved and elephant grass bushes were trimmed down in anticipation of a beloved son’s return. A watertight security went into top gear, but the presence of armed security was not necessary. No one would plot to harm a beloved, legitimate son.

Obama arrived on a chartered jet at Jomo Kenyetta International Airport with his wife, Michelle, daughters Malia, 8, and Sasha, 4. He was received by the U.S. ambassador, Michael E. Rannesberger, and his relatives in Kenya. The streets were lined with massive crowds from the airport into the city and villages: Boys climbed trees to get a clear glimpse of one of their own. A spirit of Obama mania was born. The swelling crowd seeking to get a glimpse of Obama created a traffic jam around the Haile Selassie-Moi Avenue roundabout. Local politicians asked, “How come we never get this type of crowd.” Vendors were selling T-shirts bearing the slogan “Senator Obama, welcome home.”

Kenyans have renamed the local Senator Beer, “Obama.”

Obama’s visit to his father’s homeland captures symbolism and substance. He epitomizes a popular president from the West on a state visit to Africa. In his Memoir, “Dreams from my Father,” he reflects on his first trip to Africa, in his late 20’s. He cried beside the graves of his father and grandfather, despite the fact that he hardly knew them. His next visit occurred 14 years ago, when he was a fresh Harvard Law School graduate ready to begin his civil rights practice in Chicago. Kenyans took a keen interest in Obama and closely followed his 2004 senatorial election campaign.

“He is truly a son of Africa, his election means something to them personally,” Kenyan TV said. “Barack Obama was born to a Kenyan father who hailed from a sleepy little village in Kogelo, Siaya district. And this village will perhaps be more eager to welcome their son home.”

In Nyangoma-Kogelo, a tiny village in the rural west, chickens roam free and tiny boys in rags who tend their flocks have been preparing for weeks for his return. The dirt road leading to his 85-year-old grandmother’s house was leveled.

“Pave the way, Obama is coming. God has returned our son,” the boys said.

His grandmother, Sarah Hussein, who only communicates through an interpreter, treats him like any other grandson. His father, who rose to become senior economist in the Treasury department died in 1982 in a car crash. He left three wives, six sons and a daughter. Obama’s grandfather, Onyango Hussein, was one of the first Muslim converts in the village.

It was a happy homecoming and reunion when the senator arrived in his tiny village, where people know one another. Obama enjoyed warm embraces and long hugs among families, siblings, and elders.

Grandmother Sarah said, “I am happy to receive him because I do not have to prepare what to cook for him….he is a down-to earth person. I will give him a meal befitting a grandson.”

She prepared a meal of eggs, traditional vegetables, and ugali in line with Luo customs. But she did not buy a new dress for the occasion.

“Obama has always hugged me irrespective of what clothes I have on,” she said.

Students at the Senator Obama Secondary School rendered moving folk songs during his visit to their school. Principal Yuanita Obiero said the 78 students have perfected skits, narratives, verses, and a song to welcome a deserving son. After addressing the school, which is his brainchild, he admonished them to take education serious and to shoot for the skies. The students sang, “This land is my land, this land is your land,” in their dialect amid drums and locally crafted musical instruments.

“You have achieved fame and fortune. You are our inspiration,” the children chanted thunderously.

Obama and his wife, Michelle, took an AIDS test in his village where 700 people die of HIV/AIDS daily. This act of symbolism was made to attack the stigma and phobia associated with the disease. Witnessing him take a test, the villagers would be encouraged to come forward to be tested as well. Despite recent declines in the infection rate, 2,000,000 out of Kenya’s 33,000,000 people are infected with the disease; 1,500,000 have died from it. This is the worst hit area.

During his speech at the University of Nairobi, students who could not secure seats squatted on the bare concrete floor to listen to Obama’s warm speech. Some took notes on the palm of their hands to avoid missing any salient point in his speech. He advised Kenyans to strive for more government transparency and eradicate corruption and ethnic politics, which could be a destructive malaise. Neither Kenya nor the entire continent have fulfilled their potential — the hopefulness of the postcolonial era has been replaced by cynicism and often despair, freedom is yet to be won. Many live on a few shillings a day or have fallen prey to HIV/AIDS, malaria, or those trapped in the crossfire of ethnic conflict, Obama said.

He met a group of women over 50 who have adopted children infected with HIV/AIDS through a successful micro credit program, supported by his personal funds from a children’s book deal. With an initial $14,000 investment, he enabled the women to get small loans to buy items like sewing machines, bicycles, and crops to help them start a business. He had an audience with President Kibaki, Foreign Affairs Minister Raphael Tuju, and leader of the opposition, Mr. Uhuru Kenyetta.

Obama said, “For government to attract foreign investors, issues of democracy and transparency in government should be addressed.”

To M.P.’s who urged him to lobby the U.S. government to lift its travel advisories to Kenya, he said, “The advisories were a policy of the U.S. government that is applied worldwide without discrimination.”

Another issue discussed was the country’s foreign debt, which the M.P.’s said was responsible for poverty in Africa. Visiting the slums, he saw firsthand poverty and destitution. He solicited the world’s attention to the poverty in Africa touring Kibera, the biggest slum in the continent. This did not impede an electrified audience from giving him a befitting welcome with shouts of “Obama has come! Open the way!” The senator and his wife toured Mchanganyiko Women’s Self-help Group at the heart of the slum. He said, next time I come to Kenya, I will come here. Youths sang songs in praise of Obama and ran ahead of his motorcade as it headed to Carolina for Kibera.

“I will work with the government to bring more opportunities to this area. All of you are my brothers and my sisters,” said Obama, charming the ecstatic crowd.

Any country that develops does so because women are given opportunities and any that does not is because women are oppressed, he added. Health minister, Mrs. Charity Ngilu urged the senator to help the country access grants for HIV/AIDS drugs.

“Giving us loans for drugs and equipment is not realistic … Intervene so that we can get grants,” she stressed.

Obama met Nobel Peace laureate Wangari Maathai. At Uhuru Park, they united in planting a tree.

“It does not matter if you are Kikuyu or Luo, but people should work together to build the nation,” the senator said. “I love you guys and Uriti uru [goodbye]” was his farewell remark.

Riaga Ogalo an elder of the Luo council presented him with a walking stick and a traditional stool.

His next stop was Ethiopia, where he visited displaced people who have suffered a devastating flood that left them homeless. The rains killed 600 people and displaced tens of thousands. The displaced people occupied sprawling tents and camped in Eastern Ethiopia. U.S. Navy personnel carried out relief operations into dire Eastern Dawa, and Southern and Northeastern Ethiopia. This shows the role the US military can play, he said. The U.S. Navy is part of the antiterrorism combined joint task force in the Horn of Africa, based in neighboring Djibouti. They set up 60 enormous canvass tents to house 2,700 displaced people.

“This is a wonderful thing that the U.S. military has done,” said Mohamed Noor, who lives in one of the city tents.

People lost everything as the waters washed away their homes.

Sen. Obama’s African tour gave him a practical perspective of the plight of Africans, as he listened to their personal stories and grasped firsthand evidence of the struggles they endure daily. Reducing poverty and hopelessness could be an antidote toward curbing the problem of international terrorism.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is versed on the problems Africa faces, puts it aptly, “The state of Africa is a scar on the conscience of the world.”

Sen. Obama’s passion for minorities and the underprivileged is deep-rooted and genuine. He turned down a lucrative law firm job to become a neighborhood activist. One of his admirers describes him as “A gift that keeps on giving.”

Hillary, the Plagiarist in Chief, Lost the Election Tonight

Posted on February 22, 2008 - Filed Under Politics | 1 Comment

          

In one fell swoop, Hillary tried to capitalize on an issue that she is more guilty of and instead lost the election by showing just how shallow and desperate her campaign has become. Take a look:

What doesn’t ring true is that Hillary has been the plagiarist in chief this election:

She stole Obama’s “Fired up, ready to go”

His, “Yes we can!”

Also changing it to “Yes we will!”

And took “This is personal to me,” from Edwards:

This election has come down to a debate on trust. It is clear that America has come to its senses and realizes the Clinton’s cannot be trusted. Over the next few weeks before Hillary’s defeat in Texas (and possibly Ohio), she will bring out one last ploy to try to destroy Obama. It won’t stick because Obama is the new Teflon candidate.
