(July 9, 2008): "Oh Yes She Can" (by Kristen Breitweiser, Huffington Post)

[GaGirl]

"...The Superdelegates have not yet voted. They cast their vote at the Convention in August which means Hillary Clinton's "suspended" campaign could be reinstated. (Because, Oh, Yes She Can!)

Of course, this reality is probably why the Republicans have remained mostly silent against Obama since they'd rather run against Obama than Hillary. The Republicans know that a small window remains open for Hillary to get the nomination. And a coup at the Convention is not entirely out of the question-- particularly in light of Obama's recent behavior in thumbing his nose at the Progressive base. Yes folks, it's not too late.

It's July 9, 2008. There are 6 weeks left until the convention in Denver. And I think all Americans should be paying close attention to see what Barack Obama does. Does he continue to flounder and move to the center compromising important Progressive principles? Or does he correct his wayward ways?

Democrats must have a candidate with clear conviction to beat John McCain in November. The question that must be answered between now and August is whether Barack Obama is that candidate....."

Here's what is scary. It's not August. There aren't any Republican attack ads.

And yet, Obama is getting swiftboated... by himself.

Admittedly, as someone who will remain a Clinton supporter to the very end, I have been enjoying the rude awakening that many Obama supporters have recently received from !quelle horreur! Barack Obama, himself.

FISA, gun control, public finance, the death penalty, religious-based initiatives, late-term abortions, Iraq, turning his back on groups such as MoveOn, and throwing people like Wes Clark under the bus. They all add up to Obama's progressive base wondering with justifiable uncertainty: Who is this guy and what the hell is he doing?

Well, it seems that Barack Obama can and will do whatever he pleases -- particularly if it paves the way to victory. In order to win the nomination, Obama posed as the candidate of Change. Remember he was the outsider who wanted to restore Hope in all of us. He was the candidate we could Believe in. Not surprisingly, after 8 years of Bush fear-mongering and Republican-led emoting hate towards terrorists, Obama's offering of emoting hope and unity towards feel-good horizons was extremely appealing. The marketing worked. Back then, Obama appeared pure, honest, and trustworthy; Obama was definitely not the entrenched, untrustworthy Washington-insider, Hillary Clinton.

But who is Barack Obama now?

Can we tone down the red? We are all Clinton supporters here.

The truth will prevail.

I am thrilled that this appears in the Huff. However, we have to let them know that this is the type of commentaries we need to see. Lots of blind OBAMABOTS left comments, how about supporting the author?????

As a republican and a Hillary supporter I dont really believe the republicans feel she is a threat to the country. But Obambi is and they KNOW it!! And as far as the democratic party is concerned it was only a matter of time before it betrayed the country and thus eventually implode upon itself. It's always been a fractured group at best. It has not lived up to it's ideals and it's had a few great leaders. I liken the Clintons to the Roosevelts, Eleanor never received the accolades she earned and DESERVED. A great lady and the peoples advocate lost in yellow journalism Hillary positions transcends party. She is true American leader and woman before her time. I liken these events to Platos parable of the cave. Many people still prefer to live in darkness and be led. With light we are able to read and till the earth but with darkness we a prisoners of artificial monsters created by our own making.

Usually when someone behaves in such an unrecognizable manner, you turn to the person in question's past history for reassurance. Not so with Obama since his public record is so short. Indeed, Obama's public life started a mere 10 years ago and his uncanny ability to spend no longer than two years in any one post or place translates to Obama never being held accountable. That lack of accountability translates to Obama being an unknown entity merely offering up his lofty, poetic, and very pretty promises to trust. But lately those pretty little promises aren't holding up much -- let alone anyone's trust.

Obama will not be able to run or hide from his past lack of experience forever. Eventually he will have to show some outstanding leadership and deliver on his promises. If this does not happen (which for the record I don't think it will) there are a lot more hearts to be broken, dreams to die, relationships torn asunder - greatness can not be achieved by slick marketing in the Presidential world.

THANK you, Afa. nice nice nice.

heres another republican for HILLARY
bet there is a loooooot of us

[Karen Keefe]

One of the best lessons I've learned from this election of Hillary, selection of BO is the FDR financial/economic plan saved our country in the 30's just as Hillary's same plan would save us now. Stopping home foreclosures, creating infrastructure and clean energy jobs--insourcing vs. outsourcing Hillary calls it--having a master plan to free our dependency on foreign oil and depend on our own innovations to fuel our country, all of which save us from further economic ruin and rebuild our nation.

Economic rebuilding of America is my main reason for voting Hillary. I hope more and more citizens realize that Hillary HAS A PLAN along with experience, judgement, commitment and characater. BO with no real plans in this sham race has shown us what a disaster he, DNC, Dean, Pelosi, Brazile, Soros, NOI et al could create if we PUMA/JSND folks don't keep speaking up for democracy.

I tried to post twice earlier today, but they didn't show up :mad:

Could use some more comments from sane people like us.

[Alex01]

Posted. Not sure it'll make it, but I posted!;)

"But who is Barack Obama now?"

BO is the same empty suit conman he was before he started this trip that he himself said he shouldn't have taken. Obama didn't win anything, he's a fake, a poseur, and you people need to wake up and smell the patriotism. We won't vote for this no judgment, no character conman. America deserves better - America deserves the best, and that would be Senator Hillary Clinton.
