Obama Calls Minister’s Comments Outrageous

I was happy to see Clemens being called out too!

You didn’t hear as much about it as you did about bonds though.

-The Bottle Rocket is stuck between a rock and a hard place:

Either he didn’t “git ‘er done” with the girl because he was using drugs he didn’t get from his doctor (’roids)…or he and the girl had a ball, in which case his wife would kick his ass.

Comment of the day.

This is interesting…

I’m loving it myself. And the thing is Clemens doesn’t know when to shut up. The more he runs his mouth and denies things the deeper the hole he digs for himself. Andy Pettite, McCready, McCready’s dad, the little boy who snapped the picture of Clemens at Jose Canseco’s party…you can’t tell me all these folks are lying.

The reporter had me on the phone for 30 mins but of course time and the press conference dictated an edit. Would have been nice to clarify the allegorical nature of “game over,” the disconnect between Wright’s speech and the Q & A, and my unwavering comparison/contrast vis. Sen. Obama and JFK. Re: the last point, both men promised a different way, hope, boundless energy. Both men were also “light-weight” and that does NOT mean weak, naive, stupid. The difference is that JFK had hardcore people around him, especially his father, Joe Kennedy, who would have had Jeremiah Wright locked in a box in a submarine for the past six months, with all copies of all but the most joyful sermons locked in that box with him.
David Axelrod is supposedly the expert. He should have anticipated this, planned for it. Yes, planned. Perhaps he didn’t think the campaigned would get this far? Perhaps he underestimated the “old-school”/tribal politics of the this nation which even a kid could of picked up by watching “John Adams” or “Gangs of New York,” on HBO. I don’t know. The fact remains that given (1) the cable news and blogsphere’s penchant for “soap opera-ization” of news (and that’s a nasty, apt metaphor in and of itself), (2) the average viewer’s passive, almost ignorant processing of such news and it’s delivery through pundits/entertainers, and (3) that many white citizens will, consciously or subconsciously, glom onto any “excuse” not to vote for an African American (who isn’t a cipher or humunculus like Clarence Thomas, or Blackwell or Swan, etc.), Axelrod should have been on top of this and had it nailed down from the start.

You can preach the politics of hope, a new path, unity…but sometimes you have to leave some dead bodies on the street to get there.

Oh, the Clintons trying to suppress the black vote. I never thought I’d reach a point where it appears the ‘right’ was right about a lot things about the Clintons.

Her campaign mgr, for crying out loud. How can she roller skate through this?

ok… I used up enough of your ink… looks like good news up in this thread.

peace out

The calls target African American Voters, telling them a packet will come in the mail.. and when they return all the forms… they’ll be able to vote…” disinforming people… felony voter suppression…

That source is Women’s Voices Women Vote, a D.C.-based nonprofit. On the Board of Directors is Bill Clinton’s old campaign manager.

On the leadership team, is Hillary Clinton’s CURRENT CAMPAIGN MANAGER. This group donated big to the Senator’s campaign.

Per Kos there is evidence that this method of suppression, and the precise same call, has been used in 24 Primaries so far, disenfranchising, potentially, hundreds of thousands of voters.

I just couldn’t think of a better place to post this.

Obama campaign posts delegate countdown on website. Now we can keep track

I think the world feels safer at the thought of Obama in the White House. This is the potential reality the world wants to actualize. It feels right in my bones, like when I’ve made the correct decision. I can see Michelle setting menus and having meetings, it’s the way it should be. I think children in the White House will affect the way decisions are made.

I have a sense that the gods are having a good laugh at us. A man named Obama similar to the name of America’s nemesis Osama where the “b” and the “s”(bullshit) are transposed.

I get the sense the gods roll at the humour of the black family who will occupy the white house, and at the dismay of those who oppose it.

That is some intense stuff regarding the robo calls. The info is now on an ABC (blog) and the many bloggers over at DailyKos are trying to blast it everywhere.

Women’s Voices Women Vote…wow!
