Won't we ever learn?  Obama wants to talk serious talk; he dosen't want to sully his mind with the trivia of uh, like hmmmm Wright, Ayres, Rezko, Auchi, et al.  Obama is a serious fellow with a plan:

To be president of the United States, though he doesn't know that much about stateside politics, having spent his formative years offshore.  But he is learning fast how to play hard ball. And his teachers are from the old school of partisan gamesmanship...they know how to spin split hairs into gold bullion.  A private conversation many years ago?  And suddenly we are hanging Hillary from the old oak tree:  down South that is called a lynching.

How awfully rude of her to voice the obvious; Ms. Beddle, biographer extraordinaire of all of Hillary's gaffs exposes the dirty laundry and just happens to be selling a new book and has an impeccable sense of timing.  Oh, now there is a shocker.  Do you suppose she is drumming up interest which translates into sales? She has been on TV recently chatting up her literary achievement with the media journalists/entertainers who are known for their fair and balanced reportage.  Am I not recording it correctly?

Headlines coming from the leftist wing of the dysfunctional Democratic Party, which is giving them more credit than they deserve as they self-destructed long time ago, read:  "Hillary sinks her own campaign with cruel, elitist remarks made in an unguarded moment."  (That's a paraphrase but close.)

The American "media" will pounce on any morsel to get our attention; the 'Party" should know better; when did they throw the country under the bus in a transparent attempt to sucker voters into buying Obama?  Some say it was long before Howard and company got together to hammer out rules and strategy for 2008.  Some say it was already decided to toss Senator Clinton and embrace Obama because Americans are still a regressive and paternalistic society harking back to its primal roots. 

I say it is a combination of gender jealousy and dislike for Bill Clinton, who was president, unlike Kennedy and Kerry, who never quite made it.

A blogger from another board had taken note of the DNC meeting in 2006 where Dean was overseeing rules for the coming primaries.  There was a general sense that they were anticipating Obama's entry into the field and allowed more delegates to be named from heavily-black precincts in Ohio; the rationale forwarded by the committee was that it rewarded their loyalty to Kerry in the 2004 election.  This was aired on CSPAN not too long ago. This blogger also observed that Hillary's name had been left off of the Party's mass mailing list repeatedly.  This is not happenstance; this is flagrant partisanship within the ranks of Party leadership.

So much for nonsense about purity of spirit and slogans of hope.

With that thought in mind, it is easy to see how the Obama phenomenon unfolded so smoothly.  What you see playing out is not grass roots revolution but the same good old boys network manipulating the gullible electorate into believing, yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and his name be Barack.  Behold, unto you this day a giver is born.

Enough to take your breath away or turn your stomach, whichever comes first.  Bitter?  No, just cynical.

Your points are

#1 - Politics is a bloodsport

#2 - Obama shouldnt be complaining about that and should be prepared to deal with that.

The problem is, here we are over 80% of the primaries behind us and Hillary is losing to Obama. Doesnt that mean that Obama is doing just fine?

I think you need another line of reasoning.

A few days ago Obama gave the 'finger' to Hillary on national television and smugly laughed about it with his audience.  Is this type of malicious immaturity what you want your children to learn: lack of tolerance, vengeance and the bully mentality?  After that one event, besides the mindless and uneducated, how could anyone seriously consider this Obama for any office? 

Also, Obama's state-senate candidacy was launched at Weather Underground bombers Ayers house in 1995.   Ayers who advocate the violent destruction of America may have much more to do with promoting Obama than we know.  The organization MoveOn has aggressively intimidated delegates to vote for Obama and to shun Hillary and is likely closely connected with Ayers.  Ayers finally got his bomb – Obama. 

Obama also rigged his election to become senator by unfairly disqualifying his opponents.  He did this by meticulously finding fault with each of the other candidates signed petitions until each of the contenders had to drop out, Obama was the last on standing, there was no election.  This was another finger gesture towards the American public by Obama.  

If this isn't enough, look at Obama's affiliations:
Wright
Meeks
Ayers
Abongo "Roy" Obama
Rashid Khalidi
Robert Malley
Hamas
McPeaks
Rezko
Auchi

And the list goes on...

This may be the time of the Anti-Christ, but do you want to be on the list of people who voted for him?
