This is an interesting video compilation of the sexist attacks against Hillary by the media, the public, and yes St. Obama himself, set to Hillary’s brave and groundbreaking 1995 UN speech on women’s rights.
A slap in the face of bravery…

Obama just loves women…
May 17, 2008An interesting comment posted after an article concerning Obama’s sexism….
Barbara D Says:
May 15th, 2008 at 4:44 PM
One has to wonder about how he chooses to interact with women in a PC world. From Maureen Dowd:
Hillary has clearly raised Obama’s consciousness about the importance of courting the ladies. Touring a manufacturing plant in Allentown, Pa., Tuesday, he was flirtatious, winking and grinning at the women working there, calling one “Sweetie,” telling another she was “beautiful,” and imitating his daughters’ dance moves by twirling around. Later, at a Scranton town hall, he went up to Denise Mercuri, a pharmacist from Dunmore wearing a Hillary button. “What do I need to do? Do you want me on my knees?” he charmed, before promising: “I’ll give you a kiss.”
I suppose he was trying to be charming, but it sounds immature, condescending and politically naive coming from the mouth of a presidential candidate. His behavior in Pennsylvania went beyond the “habit” of calling women “sweetie.” As a presidential candidate, he needs to come across as,well, presidential. (I know the standards have been lowered in the last 7 years by the current occupant of the White House, but we should demand more from those aspiring to be president.

Goodbye to all that.
May 16, 2008From Marie Cocco’s essay in the Washington Post;
As the Democratic nomination contest slouches toward a close, it’s time to take stock of what I will not miss.
I will not miss seeing advertisements for T-shirts that bear the slogan “Bros before Hos.” The shirts depict Barack Obama (the Bro) and Hillary Clinton (the Ho) and are widely sold on the Internet.
I will not miss walking past airport concessions selling the Hillary Nutcracker, a device in which a pantsuit-clad Clinton doll opens her legs to reveal stainless-steel thighs that, well, bust nuts. I won’t miss television and newspaper stories that make light of the novelty item.
I won’t miss episodes like the one in which liberal radio personality Randi Rhodes called Clinton a “big [expletive] whore” and said the same about former vice presidential nominee Read the rest of this entry »

May 8, 2008As I’ve been saying for over a year now, Obama is the GOP’s preferred nominee, why else would Rove be schooling him on how to beat Hillary?
Limbaugh says, “I now believe he would be the weakest of the Democrat nominees,” Limbaugh, among the most powerful voices in conservative radio, said on his program. “I now urge the Democrat supereldegates to make your mind up and publicly go for Obama.”

Vastleft Speaks for Me…
May 8, 2008In his recent post on Corrente...
Barring a stunning reversal of fortune, my party is heading into November with a candidate who thinks the GOP is “the party of ideas,” who badmouths socialized medicine, progressive partisans, liberals (and their Chablis-soaked limos), and who says he was “called to serve” by Christ himself.
As Obama’s former friend and mentor recently noted, “he says what he has to say as a politician.”
Sure, I understand that to overtake a more-popular and more-experienced party rival, it’s necessary and appropriate to destroy her and her husband’s reputation via completely fraudulent charges of racism. Sausage ain’t beanbag, as they say.
But was it necessary to piss away this “change year,” this once-in-several-decades opportunity to repudiate the Reagan Revolution, selling a mere façade of change and propagating — as shystee so succinctly put it — “the absolute fabrication that the problem with Washington is excessive partisanship”? More here.

Obama flip flops again…
May 2, 2008From a recent AP article;
THE SPIN:
Obama argues that Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republican Sen. John McCain — he calls them “the two Washington candidates” — are pandering to voters by proposing to suspend the federal gas tax of 18.4 cents a gallon for three months. He says a tax holiday would provide consumers little real relief, ignore the country’s energy problems and take money from road and bridge repairs.
“This is the problem with Washington. We are facing a situation where oil prices could hit $200 a barrel. Oil companies like Shell and BP just reported record profits for the quarter. And we’re arguing over a gimmick that would save you half a tank of gas over the course of the entire summer so that everyone in Washington can pat themselves on the back and say that they did something,” Obama says.
THE FACTS:
In 2000, gasoline prices were climbing quickly, reaching $2 a gallon in the Chicago area — a remarkable price back then. Illinois legislators scrambled to offer some election-year relief to angry motorists.
Obama voted three times for a tax holiday.
The version that ended up becoming law required a six-month suspension of the state’s share of the sales tax on gasoline, a 5 percent tax paid directly by consumers rather than gas stations. It also required gas stations to post signs on their pumps saying that the Illinois General Assembly had lowered taxes and the price should reflect that cut.

Women’s reproductive rights are civil rights
April 17, 2008When looking through Obama’s website in order to gauge where he stands on reproductive rights, I became very upset when I literally couldn’t find any mention of abortion or scientifically based sex-ed. Not in his section on healthcare, not in his section on poverty, not in his section on education, nowhere.

March 7, 2008Now that the seating of Florida’s delegates has come to the forefront in this election, it’s important to understand why the Florida election was legitimate as it stands. In that vein, I’m re-posting one of the first postings I wrote for this blog below. The reasons that Florida should have been considered a great victory for Hillary are the same reasons why the delegates must be seated.
Obama loses bigtime in Florida..
Of course, he doesn’t want the public to believe that, and as usual, the mainstream media is more than willing to sing his tune.In his typical George W Bush style, Barack Obama has smugly Read the rest of this entry »

Obama, Wellstone a “gadfly.”
March 6, 2008I watched with nausea as Obama spoke a while back in Minneapolis and praised and praised the popular former senator from Minnesota, Paul Wellstone, who unfortunately was killed several years ago in a plane crash.
I couldn’t help but think of David Sirota’s article about Obama in The Nation, Mr. Obama goes to Washington, in which Obama refers to Wellstone as a gadfly. Gadfly is defined as; a persistent irritating critic; a nuisance.
In a similar vein and a must read is Harper’s Magazine’s, Barack Obama Inc.

Obama’s Weaker Support With Democrats
March 4, 2008According to the latest Pew Center Poll;
Obama would lose one quarter of Hillary supporters in the general election. A quarter of Democrats (25%) who back Clinton for the nomination say they would favor McCain in a general election test against Obama. The “defection” rate among Obama’s supporters if Clinton wins the nomination is far lower; just 10% say they would vote for McCain in November, while 86% say they would back Clinton.
“Obamacans” – those Republicans who are supporting Obama — are outnumbered two-to-one by what we would have to call “McCainocrats.” There goes Obama’s theory of winning the election by converting republicans.

Despite Rhetoric, Obama Pushed Lobbyists’ Interests
Justin Rood Reports:
Away from the bright lights and high-minded rhetoric of the campaign trail, Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has quietly worked with corporate lobbyists to help pass breaks worth $12 million.
In his speeches, Obama has lambasted lobbyists and moneyed interests who “have turned our government into a game only they can afford to play.”
“It’s an entire culture in Washington — some of it legal, some of it not,” the Democratic hopeful told a New York crowd in June, rallying support for his ethics reform agenda.
But last year, at the request of a hired representative for an Australian-owned chemical corporation Nufarm, Obama introduced nine separate bills Read the rest of this entry »

February 27, 2008They’ve Got You Covered?
February 14, 2008
Updated: February 15, 2008
Obama and Clinton ads both claim all Americans would be covered by their health plans. Clinton’s would come close.
Summary
In television ads, Clinton’s campaign says her health care plan is the only one that will provide universal coverage, while Obama says his plan will cover all Americans, too. We find:

Obama’s Healthcare Plan, it’s the pits.
February 26, 2008Not nearly enough attention has been paid to the differences between Obama and Hillary’s healthcare plan. While there is mainly just one difference, the lack of a mandate in Obama’s plan, that difference can be make or break for Read the rest of this entry »

Gullible? Lazy? Just plain dumb? Any way you cut it…
February 26, 2008
…the result is still the same. For the second time (that I’m aware of) during this campaign, the Obama camp has expressed outrage at the Clinton camp’s purported spreading of supposedly damaging information and/or pictures, their source being Robert Novak in the first instance, and Matt drudge in the most recent flap. Now, any democrat that automatically assumes to be true, any claim made by either of these men, is, well, gullible, lazy, or just plain dumb.
Novak and Drudge are notorious right-wing Read the rest of this entry »

You go girl!
February 25, 2008This is a hilarious clip of Clinton mocking Obama’s la la land routine. Clinton’s friends always talk about her great sense of humor, and now we’re getting a glimpse of it. Of course the media will either ignore it or call her a bitch, you choose.

Whoopi on the snub…
February 25, 2008Though the snub seems to be old news by now, Whoopi’s take on it is quite fresh…
And here’s a very intelligent response from an Obama supporter…

HRC calls Obama out on his disgusting rovian smear tactics.
February 24, 2008The media refuses to point out that for all his talk of wanting to get away from “politics as usual” Obama has been its biggest supporter. Throughout this campaign Obama has levied false charges against Clinton, using tactics that can only be compared Read the rest of this entry »

Not Everything is About Hillary Clinton…
February 23, 2008This article by Taylor Marsh speaks for so many of us…
Delusion is catching. But obviously part of this is my fault. I evidently haven’t made it clear enough for the Obamabots and others who think every post I write is meant to aid Hillary Clinton in her quest for the nomination. You’re seeing all I write through that prism; through the partisan prism of all things Clinton. Sorry to have not Read the rest of this entry »
