And rightly so. Obviously this man has grown a bit loony in his old age. I was VERY glad to see Obama come right out and say that the things Wright said were completely opposite of what his campaign stands for and what he stands for. That’s the best point to make out of all this. Frankly, I think its quite possible that this will actually help Obama truly put it all behind him now. People have no reason to associate Wright’s beliefs with Obama’s beliefs any longer.
Seriously, can we get to the REAL election already? Obama, here’s an idea, WIN INDIANA AND NORTH CAROLINA. That will make Hillary go away. Its got too. At some point, she is going to realize that she will not and can not win the nomination. The sooner, the better if you ask me. Honestly, I’m just getting sick of all the bullcrap being spewed out about things that have absolutely nothing to do with important issues that affect ME or the person’s goals for the next four years as President. I don’t care about a stupid flag pin for goodness sakes. I don’t care what someone’s Pastor said in a sermon when I know the candidate does not in any way share those voices. I do not agree with guilt by association for anyone!
Please. Make it stop. On May 6, Obama, Indiana, North Carolina. Make it stop.
I am a huge political junkie. I can’t get through a day without watching a few political shows and reading news and politics sites. But I am almost tired of it and hearing all the stupid chatter about nonsensical crap. Hillary has no chance. The majority of DEMOCRATS don’t think she’s honest. Obama will be the nominee. He will (I certainly hope) defeat old white boy, 100 more years in Iraq McCain. So can we please GET ON WITH IT!
I have documented each response, where necessary, with credible sources, so I hope that upon reading this, people can legitimately take a second thought about this war and whether or not it was truly needed. And if anyone has credible evidence that disproves anything I am writing, I am more than happy to look at it.
Reasons why the Iraq War was necessary & My Response
1. Iraq’s firing on US planes in the no-fly zones.
This is a true fact, and did occur with some frequency. However, I personally don’t believe that this is justification for launching an all-out, full scale invasion of a country. A limited military response could accomplish the goal of stopping these pot-shots from occurring without causing over
This is a common misconception, allowed to fester by the Bush Administration and some of the media. This is no shred of evidence Iraq ever harbored or allowed Al-Qaeda to operate within its borders. There was never any cooperation between Saddam and Al-Qaeda. In fact, the evidence clearly shows the two did not like each other whatsoever.
My apologies for not posting much recently, as I have been working two jobs lately. Also, I will be trying to expand the topics of discussion that I post about beyond simply the primary election. It was not my intent to focus solely on the primary, its just that it has been getting most of my attention lately, for obvious reasons. Other topics take a little more time and I haven’t had it lately.
Please bear with us because its been interesting and I hope that readers will continue to comment, and I encourage MORE comments, otherwise its not really much fun. I like the variety of opinions that are made and the chance to read different sides of issues. And I would ask that everyone try to keep comments directed at the issue, not the person, and I think for the most part that has been the case, so I thank you. Happy posting! We are always looking for new readers and more comments.
From the exit polls, Obama has done better among what is considered to be Hillary’s base–older, working class people–in PA than he did in Ohio. Even though he lost PA, he gained in attracting this type of support:
Obama’s percent of the vote:
OH PA
60 and older 28 38 White 34 38 White men 39 44 White women 31 34 Less than $50K 42 46 No college 40 38 College 51 49 Catholic 36 31 Protestant 36 53
It has finally arrived! The day of the Pennsylvania Primary is here after six long weeks of campaigning, several awkward statements, sniper stories, buses and trains all over PA and a really bad debate. Now the voters will decide. I’m trying to use my home-state powers (I was born in PA if you didn’t know) to get those Pennsylvanians to end this race and give Obama a shocking victory.
From my expert analysis of the recent polling data, here’s my prediction, on record:
1. Clinton 53.5% Obama 46.5%. 7 point win for her, but not overwhelming. She won’t be getting the double digit 12+ or actually 20+ victory margin she needs to make up a whole lot of delegates. The story will be “Clinton Wins, So What?” and that she gains maybe 10-20 delegate on him. So he still leads by 120. Hmmm.
2 . Rosy hopeful scenario. The polls could be wrong on this one. If PPP nails it like they did nail Wisconsin when everyone else thought it would be closer, then Obama may win. If younger voters turn out in higher numbers then normal and African-Americans do as well, this may be a shocker. Chances of this are 35%. If it happens, Obama wins 51%-49%.
What a brilliant idea, Obama is traveling around Pennsylvania the next few days by TRAIN. I think that was a great move, just for the pure symbolism of the old days of campaigning, speaking from the back of the caboose. He’s got crowds gathering a various stops and he gets off and gives a speech. Brilliant!
