Obama ahead in N.C., statistically tied in Pennsylvania and Indiana
New polls for the next three Democratic contests show little evidence so far of any damage to Barack Obama from his comments about bitter small town voters.
The Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg surveys also suggest that Hillary Clinton has work to do in Indiana, which could end up being the tie-breaker if she wins Pennsylvania as expected and Obama wins North Carolina, where he is favored.
In Indiana, which votes May 6, Obama has a 5-percentage-point lead over Clinton, 40 percent to 35 percent, even though the state's demographics appear to favor her, according to the poll.
In Pennsylvania, which holds its primary this coming Tuesday, Clinton has a 5-percentage-point lead over Obama, 46 percent to 41 percent.
And in North Carolina, which also votes May 6, Obama leads by 13 percentage points, 47 percent to 34 percent.
The gaps in Indiana and Pennsylvania are within the polls' margin of error, and there are enough undecided voters in all three states to swing the races.
The surveys also found that Obama's handling of his controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., might have helped him, with most voters saying they thought more highly of Obama.

News from the Washington Bureau








Much to the dismay of the pundits and rabid bloggers, the American people can recognize false issues such as misplaced comments and pastor problems.
It seems to be a uniquely modern thing to be able to take one person's short comments and be able to instantly analyze his soul! Notwithstanding two books and thousands of hours of recorded speeches and debates, people still think that by hearing one grainy, barely audible secret recording, that somehow that is the truth!
College educated professionals support Obama because he is smart. He is not perfect, but he is smart. Whenever you want good advice about health or legal or financial advice, you don't go to a high-school dropout in the local bar or bowling alley. You find the smartest, most accomplished person you can in the field and trust that advice.
Why the romance about the "Reagan Democrats"? Why do they get to decide the leader of our country? Because of their numbers, or their ability to be lulled by 30-second sound bite ads of McCain promising all kinds of goodies, and then retreating back with his lobbyist pals until re-emerging next election cycle.
You are cherry-picking polls, likely because you favor Obama.
To be fair (you are not), the latest Survey USA poll shows Clinton ahead by 14 points in Pennsylvania; another just-released poll shows her ahead by 9 points there.
Do you really expect people to believe this propaganda? Most other polls show much different results. Finally, I don't know why I'm bothering to write this at all. So far, you have censored every one of my posts in defense of Hillary Clinton; I don't know why I should think this post would be any different.
Obama himself said words matter.. you can't have it both ways. He meant those horrible things he said about the working class. The sad thing is he is not the only one to look down on people who believe in god and the second ammendment. A large portion of the democratic base is predjudiced against god and guns. They say it every day in defense of Obama. It's discusting.
"College educated professionals support Obama because he is smart". God what a condescending statement. You imply that the rest of the world isn't smart because they didn't go to college and by extension those people who believe in god and the second ammendment are somehow deficient also.
You just don't get it doctor. Many college educated people like myself believe in god and the second ammendment. We are also smart enough to see that Obama is a fraud. And like it or not you don't have to have a college education to know that too.
So, none of these numbers add up to 100%. Who are those missing 20% or so voters? They call this a poll?
I'm unemployed, bitter as hell, and voting for Obama. Why speculate about what we will do, when you can hear it right here.
I just need to point out that the SurveyUSA poll that Fred Jones mentioned, that is not being widely reported on and which shows a great advantage for Clinton is completely biased. This last one was 56% women , 81% white, 51% over fifty years old, 56% not graduating from college, and 46% were from the same region, the Southeast. They cherry picked the people they surveyed, and SurveyUSA has done this every time in Pennsylvania. The 638 people they asked questions are not representative. There's a good reason why their poll doesn't come close to any others done recently, as well as why most of the media is ignoring it: it's not a representative sample. If you ask a group of Hillary supporters who they are supporting, she's going to appear have a pretty big lead. But that won't win the primary for her. If anyone thinks she's going to win by double digits as things currently stand, think again. She's getting booed by her own supporters when she brings up Obama's use of the word bitter (which you can see in his latest ad).
WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH I CLING TO RELIGION SO IM PRAYING THAT THESE POLLS ARE TRUE... OBAMA 08!!!
people are smart enough to see through Hillary and her lies are catching up to her.
I find it no surprise that Obama calls himself a christian, that he is pro late term abortion, and has a pastor that can repeatedly use the term "God Damn..." from the pulpit and he gets a pass! The press is unbelievable! Has anyone heard of the Ten Commandments? Has anyone question that aside from judging Obama like a contestant on Americal Idol he has absolutely no credentials and reads from a tele-prompter!
I too find it interesting that more educated people tend to support Obama.
To be successful in life, I feel that a person needs to be either capable himself, or at least be able to recognize that he's not and learn from those who are. This is not about letting others think for you; instead it's about being humble and modest, and acknowledge others might have better judgment then learn from it.
So, if Obama was a phony, fake, unpatriotic etc., how is that he fooled the more educated, informed and successful America?
I agree with David Kolva (above) entirely. I've read both Barack's books and I feel that the life that he reveals in his books is a window into his soul and into his character. There can be no doubt about his commitment to the poor and those who have been victimized by injustice and oppression if one reads the millions of words in his biographies.
This is a man of uncommon intelligence, perspective and an extraordinary world-view resulting from being of mixed heritage and having lived abroad in a 'developing' country. He understands the need to energize and motivate citizens to get involved in order to re-prioritize the agenda in Washington D..C. He is definitely all about community building, block by block. I hope Americans seize the moment.
Can anyone really believe that the Rev. Wright controversy actually helped Sen. Obama? Maybe he should have the Reverend preach some more inflamatory sermons to close the gap with Hillary even more.
Thankfully, the Globe will be out of business in a couple of years.
Number #5: You asked about the missing numbers...they are undecided voters. The closer in time the poll is to the election, the fewer of these kinds of voters there are--people who usually vote but at the time of the survey have not made a firm decision about who they plan to vote for.
Obama being Foxworthy in San Francisco
You might be a redneck if you are from a small town.
You might be a redneck if you are white and don’t wanna work.
You might be a redneck if you buy my talking points hook line and sinker.
You might be a redneck if you are bitter and anti American government.
You might be a redneck if you cling to your gun only because you are full of frustration.
You might be a redneck if you cling to your religion only because you are full of frustration
You might be a redneck if you have antipathy to everyone but other rednecks.
You might be a redneck if you hate all immigrants coming to your country.
You might be a redneck if you don’t know anything about international trade.
You might be a redneck if you won’t vote for me or join my movement, sort of a race thing.
Obama got caught gossiping in private, plain and simple!
Please no more spin! Can’t Obama just say sorry with out it being small town peoples fault?
Sorry people but Obama is wrong and I do not like all these talking heads and media hounds spinning Obama's words as not being offensive but instead we are to take as right and true. I also am really tired of them telling me how I feel! Who I am is one of the "THEY" Obama was sharing to his "WE" buddies about. What they all have wrong is that I am not bitter towards my country or my government for that matter any other race of people or any other country or any other neighbors! Not city folk, Not Hispanic folk, Not black folk! They are all welcome to my small town and my church where you will get and invite for dinner! We do have people in hard times around here and other who are not and we help each other through such times. We do want more jobs but not anymore or less then any other part of this country. We count ourselves so very lucky to be able to live in a small town with a solid sense of community and core values of hard work, where sharing, caring and God loving abound! Where we have the freedom to work and play. Where we can hunt and fish and live as we please. We are not bitter we are BLESSED!
MY FELLOW BITTER, STUPID, WORKING CLASS PEOPLE.
YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT, TOO :-(
If you think like Barack Obama, that WORKING CLASS PEOPLE are just a bunch of BITTER!, STUPID, PEASANTS, Cash COWS!, and CANNON FODDER. :-(
You Might Be An Idiot, Too!
If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.
You Might Be An Idiot, Too!
If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot, Too!
If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.
You Might Be An Idiot, Too!
If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!
You Might Be An Idiot, Too!
If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot, Too!
If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary’s than they had ever been before or since.
You Might Be An Idiot, Too!
If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot, Too!
If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..
You Might Be An Idiot, Too!
If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. :-)
Best regards
jacksmith...
p.s.
If you don't know that the huge amounts of money funding the Obama campaign to try and defeat Hillary Clinton is coming in from the insurance, and medical industry, that has been ripping you off, and killing you and your children. And denying you, and your loved ones the life saving medical care you needed. All just so they can make more huge immoral profits for them-selves off of your suffering...
You Might Be An Idiot, Too!
You see, back in 1993 Hillary Clinton had the audacity, and nerve to try and get quality, affordable universal health care for everyone to prevent the suffering and needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of you each year. :-)
Approx. 100,000 of you die each year from medical accidents from a rush to profit by the insurance, and medical industry. Another 120,000 of you die each year from treatable illness that people in other developed countries don’t die from. And I could go on, and on...
Also, the reason this is not widenly reported about Hillary's gain is because the media is mostly pro-Obama
In a current political ad, 3 year-old Hillary Rodham, arms extended, toddles toward the home-movie camera. Hillary's present-day voice-over explains, the Rodham family cottage, down by the lake, lacked indoor plumbing. Yet, more telling details seem to fall by the wayside. Take twenty-seven year old Hillary's first real job. The upshot: Jerry Zeifman fired Hillary for unethical practices during the Watergate Investigation. Why was Hillary fired? “Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in a recent interview. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
“I have gone [duck] hunting. I am not a hunter. But I have gone hunting," says Hillary. Perhaps as amusing, is how an elitist politician worth over $100 million-dollars, espouses small town family values. Not only does Mr. Zeifman’s account go to character, it goes to a lifelong pattern of lying and obfuscation. It took Zeifman twelve years to get his story aired. After Watergate, Zeifman could not recommend Hillary for any subsequent position of public or private trust, nor furnish her with a letter of recommendation. After that, Hillary's employment record is one of strict nepotism, cronyism, and amnesia.
Although few suspected the lengths to which Hillary would go, a leopard never changes her spots. According to Mr. Zeifman, it’s not just Hillary’s dishonesty; that’s not in dispute. More to the point, Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther, and goes much deeper than anyone realizes. "The Clintons corrupted the soul of the Democratic Party." -Henry Ruth, lead Watergate courtroom prosecutor. Hillary Clinton is a bold-faced liar, who will stop at nothing. Should anyone doubt either Mr. Zeifman, or Mr. Ruth’s veracity regarding the Clintons, dispute this: http://theseedsof9-11.com
Ps. Parental reminder: due to possible long-term side effects, please use caution when teaching a child to quack like a duck.
I am a 61 year old woman and I am bitter as hell. No health insurance, still working everyday and things keep going up all the time. Am I bitter you bet. Someone should get smart and make some bumper stickers that say Yes, I am bitter and make a ton of money off it. Obama in O8 for me.
Jeff,
You are cherry-picking polls, likely because you favor Clinton.
The most recent batch of polls (see http://tinyurl.com/2hykg3) put Clinton in the +5 to +9 range, with one, the SurveyUSA, at +14. Not exactly a statistical tie, but mentioning only the +9 and +14 one is hardly unbiased.
An apology is not necessary for disregarding a possible group of Americans, just a clarification of what was meant..... but go further and place the evil thoughts on the one that took it as a negative to these same groups.
She is the evil one ...... she has just inherited
those very words.. they now belong to her.
If what people say and what people hear do not match there lies a potential for problems.
If what Obama said, lacks sensitivity, even if what he said could be soften to seem
innocent...... it can be possible that the ones he is referring to could feel abused as a form of belittling them.
Country bumpkins......hicks...etc.
Obama's strength is among blacks and people with higher education.
As a non-college educated white male, I think I'll go with the educated people this time. We tried the dumbo for the last eight years and look where it got us. Go Obama!
Also note the trend in the Gallup and Rasmussen tracking polls of Democrats nationally, two respected polling organizations which interview 1000 people daily. Obama has trended stronger in both polls in the last week and reached 11% over Clinton yesterday (51-40) the highest ever. Sorry Clinton supporters. You need to let reality in. Bittergate was never a real story and I think Hillary will suffer gravely for going negative on it..
"...Indiana, which could end up being the tie-breaker..."
Huh? What does this mean? If Clinton wins PA and Obama wins NC, then IN will decide who gets the nomination? The process doesn't work that way --- it's the delegate count that matters. Obama's way ahead in the delegate count and Clinton needs to start racking up big delegate wins in every state to stand a chance. Winning some mythical best two out of three contest is meaningless unless it means big pluralities in delegates --- but it looks like Obama will do well enough in PA, NC, and IN that Clinton will walk away from the three states with only a handful more delegates and nowhere near enough to change the dynamic of the race.
just to set the facts straight.... obama's now famous comment was part of a long response while answering a question. he was basically asked what some of those in the room who were going to campaign for him in pennsylvania might expect. his answer was basically that rural voters no longer believe in government to help there economic situation, explain what my campaign can do for them and recognize that they have been driven by wedge issues: religion (antiabortion, gay marraige), guns (2nd amendment issues), and immigration.
read for yourself and see if the media (and clinton and mccain) have turned this into something it wasnt.
OBAMA: So, it depends on where you are, but I think it's fair to say that the places where we are going to have to do the most work are the places where people feel most cynical about government. The people are mis-appre...I think they're misunderstanding why the demographics in our, in this contest have broken out as they are. Because everybody just ascribes it to 'white working-class don't wanna work -- don't wanna vote for the black guy.' That's...there were intimations of that in an article in the Sunday New York Times today - kind of implies that it's sort of a race thing.
Here's how it is: in a lot of these communities in big industrial states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, people have been beaten down so long, and they feel so betrayed by government, and when they hear a pitch that is premised on not being cynical about government, then a part of them just doesn't buy it. And when it's delivered by -- it's true that when it's delivered by a 46-year-old black man named Barack Obama (laugher), then that adds another layer of skepticism (laughter).
But -- so the questions you're most likely to get about me, 'Well, what is this guy going to do for me? What's the concrete thing?' What they wanna hear is -- so, we'll give you talking points about what we're proposing -- close tax loopholes, roll back, you know, the tax cuts for the top 1 percent. Obama's gonna give tax breaks to middle-class folks and we're gonna provide health care for every American. So we'll go down a series of talking points.
But the truth is, is that, our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there's not evidence of that in their daily lives. You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
Um, now these are in some communities, you know. I think what you'll find is, is that people of every background -- there are gonna be a mix of people, you can go in the toughest neighborhoods, you know working-class lunch-pail folks, you'll find Obama enthusiasts. And you can go into places where you think I'd be very strong and people will just be skeptical. The important thing is that you show up and you're doing what you're doing.
Hillary Clinton has shot herself in the foot wielding her "six-pack whiskey shooter"!
Her credibility and TRUTHFULNESS in this Primary campaign has made her totally UNELECTABLE!
End this MADNESS!
My big gift in life is a built in BS detector. I may not always follow it, but I can tell a fake and a bull thrower at 500 paces. Obama and michelle must laugh themselves to sleep at night. I mean they knew they would get certain people to buy their crap, but Im sure they are cackeling like hens over some that they are fooling. Too bad if we all have to suffer because a couple of racist, wannabe's with a great sense of "you owe me" get in office. It has to be true.."people drink the sand because they don't know any better". God help us all if he gets in...he can't read pretty speeches (written by someone else) when he faces the world leaders..um um um...and saying I agree with HER will not be possible then. Nor will excuses and lies. Send this guy packin people...heck, even George is better than he would be. Now thats saying alot.
Dear TessandJack
If you 'big gift' in life is a BS detector, Im even sorrier for you than that. I think your 'big gift' is not working.
So guess that makes you simply petty, possibly racist and probably uneducated. Clinton supporter? Republican? Dont let the future, progress and a better world hit you on your way out.
HILLARY'S POOR JUDGMENT leaves AMERICANS FOOTING THE BILL...
THE WAR IN IRAQ IS HAVING SERIOUS NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON OUR ECONOMY and those who voted for the war (i.e. hillary) should be to blame, in part, for the state of the US economy.
Look how the WAR IN IRAQ is affecting the US economy...
$3,000,000,000… 3 Billion dollars PER WEEK!
That is the amount America is paying for the Iraq War PER WEEK, money that should have been used here, at home.
Add to this:
Interest. We are financing the war with borrowed money (e.g. treasuries) that carries interest; so in actuality, the war is costing the United States MORE THAN 3 billion dollars PER WEEK.
Higher oil and energy prices. Instability from the war in Iraq is adding roughly 30 dollars per barrel as a premium.
High oil prices mean high utility bills. Higher oil prices shifts demand to other sources of energy - gas, coal, etc. - and greater demand will raise the equilibrium price of all sources of energy -- Can you say high energy bills?
High oil prices (a raw material used in the production of many goods, fertilizers, gasoline, diesel, plastics, etc.) mean high prices of goods and services -- Can you say INFLATION?
Higher trade deficit. High oil prices mean a higher trade deficit because most of our oil comes from foreign sources. A higher trade deficit means more money is leaving the country than is coming into the country -- Can you say Goodbye to your hard-earned money!
The US dollar is weak and getting weaker. Since we have a trade deficit and is growing in large part to the rising cost of imported oil, the value of goods and services we import exceeds the value of goods we export. You know that foreign car you're thinking of buying or the computer you're using, or that trip abroad you've been thinking of taking....well, guess what? It is going to cost more, Ceteris Peribus, because the dollar is weak and getting weaker.
Lastly, how do you think the world views our country since the argument was made for war? The evidence was weak and circumstantial, yet we rushed into war with Iraq thanks to hillary’s authorization.
Remember, Hillary Voted FOR THE IRAQ WAR
I"M FROM PENNSYLVANIA, EDUCATED AND NOT A BLUE COLLAR WORKER. I THINK HILLARY CLINTON HAS MORE TO OFFER THAN OBAMA. SPEECHES ARE ONE THING AND EXPERIENCE IS ANOTHER. I DO NOT BELEIVE ALL OF OBAMA'S FUNDS COME FROM SMALL DONATIONS FROM THE WORKING CLASS HE SEEMS TO DISDAIN.
MOREOVER HE SEEMS TO BE GETTING QUITE A PASS FROM THE MEDIA WHICH HAS DOGGED THE CLINTONS FOR YEARS. BUT, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM A MEDIA WHICH FAILED TO INVESTIGATE THE PRESENCE OR LACK THEREOF OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN IRAQ, TOUTED THE WAR AND LED THE ANTI-AMERICAN CRY AGAINST ANYONE WHO HAD SERIOUS DOUBTS ABOUT SAID WAR. ESSENTIALLY THE MEDIA HELPED BUSH AND HIS CRONIES SELL THE WAR AND NOW CRITICIZE ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR THE WAR AFTER BEING LITERALLY AGAINST THE MEDIA WALL.
I THINK THE MEDIA IS CREATING MR. OBAMA AS SOMETHING MORE THAN HE REALLY IS. IF HE DOES GET ELECTED, I DON'T BELIEVE HIS TENURE WILL BE THAT SUCCESSFUL AND THEN THE MEDIA WILL CRITICIZE ANYONE WHO LIKES OBAMA.
I BELIEVE GOOD OLD HILLARY CLINTON, WITH BAGGAGE, BAGS AND WRINKLES HAS THE TENANCITY, INTELLIGENCE AND JUST PLAIN OLD FIGHT IN HER TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY BACK ON THE RIGHT PATH. OBAMA'S RECORD CAN'T STAND UP TO MR. MCCAIN'S IN THE FALL. THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WILL BECOME 50 RED STATES
Obama’s efforts to connect to the Republican Party, specifically Bush, and Dick Cheney, of the Halliburton Company, dates back to the Presidents Grandfather, Prescott Bush, and indeed Cheney was once an executive officer of Halliburton.
The American military pounds Iraq with Artillary, bombs, and the like, destroying large sections of cities, and infra-structures, then Halliburton comes in to rebuild. Halliburton and Halliburton associated companies have raked in ten’s of billions.
Obama is just like the BIG HALIBURTAN. Haliburton has contracted to build detention centers in the U.S. similiar to the one in Quantanammo Bay, Cuba. Halliburton does nothing to earn the Two Dollars for each meal an American Serviceman in Iraq eats.
http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/
Halliburton was scheduled to take control of the Dubai Ports in The United Arab Emiirate. The deal was canceled when Bush was unable to affect the transfer of the American Ports.
Now we see what some might suspect as similiar financial escapading from the Democrats.
Two years ago, Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity gave a $50 million contract to a start-up security company - Companion- owned by now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO) Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley, to train Iraqi power-plant guards in the United States. An Iraqi leadership change left the deal in limbo. Now the company, Companion Security, is working to revive its contract.
Involved along with Antoin “Tony” Rezco, long time friend and neighbor of Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, and former cop Daniel T. Frawley, is Aiham Alsammarae. Alsammarae was accused of financial corruption by Iraqi authorities and jailed in Iraq last year before escaping and returning here.
LIKE FATHER LIKE SON --
Recently, Obama's campaign staff have been vetted by the IRS to disclose his connection to the criminal money generating underworld. Besides, his connections to the REZCO MAFIA types, his up-coming Tax Fraud charges — Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM "PATWANG-FWEEE" and disclose Obama's MUSLIM Farrakhan mob connection to Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. Its minister, and Obama's spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. In 1982, the church launched Trumpet Newsmagazine; Wright's daughters serve as publisher and executive editor. Every year, the magazine makes awards in various categories. Last year, it gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it said "truly epitomized greatness." That man is Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan and Chicago's Trinity United Church are trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Obama should stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke "GLORK" Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo "GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA" Police Department Buffalo Creek. He is MAD!!! --
OBAM YOU'RE NO JFK --
"GLORK" Obama looks like Alfred E. Newman: "Tales Calculated To Drive You." He is a MUSLIM "Glork" He's MAD!!! Alfred E. Neuman is the fictional mascot of Mad. The face had drifted through American pictography for decades before being claimed by Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman after he spotted it on the bulletin board in the office of Ballantine Books editor Bernard Shir-Cliff, later a contributor to various magazines created by Kurtzman.
Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM "PATWANG-FWEEE" and stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake "GLORK" Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo "GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA" Police Department Buffalo Creek.
Michelle Obama should be ashamed.
"GLORK" Michelle Obama should be ashamed of her separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago's Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Beneath that Darth-Vader-Mace-Windu-Jedi-Me ssiah Helmet Hairdo of Michelle Obama lurks a Wildabeast. If Michelle Obama new what her husband -- the Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster -- Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama did in Harlem, she would wash her wide-open, Hus-suey loving MUSILM mouth out, with twenty-four (24) mule-team double-cross X-boX-BorraX. The Lexis-Nexis-Albatross-Abacus-Complex of Barack and Michelle's relationship with MUSLIM "PATWANG-FWEEE" Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and black demagoguery of Obama's Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; is about as much of a Hoax as Oxfam volunteers believe in HIV-- AIDS Witch Doctors in Africa they feed.
"God damn America" - Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama.
"God bless America" - Pope Benedict XVI and Hillary Clinton --
If Barack Obama had married Shaniqua instead of the leftist-separatist-racist-beast-'ist Michelle, his jackanapes' excitedly-fixed-elitism, Nemet-Oure-Saxas-Our-Father-Our-King-- black rage, and "GLORK" black demagoguery of Obama's Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; would be taken a lot more expeditiously. Expectations are that Obama will manage his explosive MUSLIM JIHADI -- FATIMA EXTREMISM obsession bitter. He is a MUSLIM "Glork" It’s time to introduce this false, fake "GLORK" Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo "GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA" Police Department Buffalo Creek. He's MAD!!!

THE SPEECH --
The Apologia has arrived and once again the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, promises to heal the wounds of the world. The speech is the rude awakening of mass messianism of his campaign. Apologetically, Obama the MUSLIM double-cross X-boX-BorraX has an astonishingly empty two-prawn echelon explanation of his misjudgment.
In the first prawn: with regard to his connection to separatist-racist Rev. Wright; Obama summons voodoo and juju to express slavery as beginning and ending with the Rev. Wright.
In the second prawn: Obama's speech takes credit for Ashley's dream. A dream of unity Martin Luther King, Jr. borrowed from Ashley for his historic "I Have A Dream" speech. In Obama's speech, the connective bond Ashley, the elderly black man and Obama's grandmother share; represents Obama's self-indicting rise to the Harvard Yard. For Obama, the grand flag of language is the semi-fore of words, bestowed upon our nation by the messiah-alumni from Harvard. Obama's Swoon-Song Apologia to the nation represents a failed hymn -- a hymn that fails to heal the nation, repair the world, or make this time different than all the rest. Obama's speech is a brilliant failure.

MUSLIM LIES --
The ILLIGITIAMTE MUSLIM MESSIA has blundered yet again!!! The self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, lied about the politics of his campaign. The danger involved with this self-aggrandizing, -a-hoop, Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster -- Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama is that -- "Like Father Like Son" Obama is constantly wanting to impress America with "...his incapacity for sound judgment." In 2005, Sen. Obama voted for the Dick Cheney energy bill, which Cheney wrote in secret with the oil industry. Hillary Clinton opposed Cheney's energy bill, has a plan to eliminate oil industry tax breaks, and would require oil companies to contribute to a $50 billion strategic energy fund to jump-start research and investment in clean energy technologies. On top of the horrible crime Obama executed in Harlem, the fact is, we have to hear it from Karl Rove about Obama's latest Campaign Crisis.
"GLORK" Top Ten Obama Lies:
1. Obam said his parents met at the Selma march -- Reality: He was born 4 years before that.
2. Obam said he was a constitutional law professor -- Reality: . . . Obama Made This False Claim In His 2004 Senate Race. “Several direct-mail pieces issued for Obama's primary [Senate] campaign said he was a law professor at the University of Chicago. He is not. He is a senior lecturer (now on leave) at the school..
3. Obam said he spoke fluent Indonesian as a child -- Reality: . . . Obama has claimed on numerous occasions to have become fluent in Indonesian in six months. Yet another Phi Beta Krakatau lie from Obama. Those who knew him disputed that during recent interviews. Israel la Pareira Darmawan, Obama's 1st-grade teacher, said she attempted to help him learn the Indonesian language by going over pronunciation and vowel sounds. Truth-be-told: Obama's Indonesian teachers say Kaku-Pooh.
4. Obam said he was involved in community asbestos and housing project for the poor -- Reality: . . . Didn't happen. This was the basis for Barack and Michelle's claim, that he was a community activist on the South and East Side of Chicago. Usher United Arab Emirates (UAE) A+ lie both he and his twenty-four (24) mule-team, Hus-suey loving wife Michelle Obama have been claiming in the campaign -- Reality: The Chicago Newspaper's Obelus -- Kiss-A-Cuss:...NO-MAMA.
5. Obam said in his book that he received his racial awakening at age nine reading a Life/Ebony Magazine story about a black man who was scarred trying to dye his skin white -- Reality: . . . Didn't happen. Both Magazines (Life and Ebony), and the Rev. Wright and Farrakhan MUSLIM Trumpet Newsmagazine say, just didn't happen.
6. Obam’s Campaign Didn’t Have The “Technical Capacity” To Produce The “1984” Ad:
Obama: “But it's not something that we had anything to do with or were aware of and that frankly, given what it looks like, we don't have the technical capacity to create something like that.” (CNN’s “Larry King Live,” 3/24/07) -- Reality:...The Creator Admitted All It Took Was A “Sunday Afternoon” On His Mac. Phillip de Vellis: “I made the ad on a Sunday afternoon in my apartment using my personal equipment (a Mac and some software), uploaded it to YouTube, and sent links around to blogs.”
7. Obam’s Campaign Claimed His High School Friend Tried To Extort Money From Them:
“According To The Obama Campaign, [Obama’s Punahou Classmate Keith] Kakugawa Explicitly Raised The Possibility That He Could Make Up False Stories About Obama, Implying He Would Do So If The Campaign Did Not Give Him Money.” (Maurice Possley, Kirsten Scharnberg and Ray Gibson, -- Reality: “...An Old Friend's Troublesome Return,” Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07).
8. Obam voted to bring low-cost foreign labor into New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina -- Reality: . . . This was a slap in the face against the African-Americans who were displaced in that city. Obama also voted to place Michael Chertoff, the man responsible for the Katrina catastrophe, in charge of Homeland Security. Obama voted for Senate-Bills that gave Blackwater the funding they needed to shoot the folks of New Orleans who were only trying to save their own lives. Inextricably, the towel head voted to allow Michael Chertoff to waive all applicable laws, including murder, torture, kidnaping, and he suppoted water-boarding.
9. Obam voted more than five times for USA-PATRIOT ACT renewal -- Reality: . . . This is a Senate-Bill patently offensive to most Americans. City after city has passed resolutions condemning USA-PATRIOT ACT. Passively or reflexively, Obama chose to side with tyranny over freedom and Bush over the folks on this issue. The Real ID Act, which would allow Michael Chertoff to declare martial law and imprison Americans, was supported by ex-patriot Obama, as noted above.
10. Obam is not a MAD MAN. Sen. Obama has not exaggerated the disconnection with . . ."The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth" --Ex. xxxiv. 6; or extolled his venomous-vexatious-Vesuvius MUSLIM madrassahs'-faux-pas on us. Sen. Obama Is not involved along with Antoin “Tony” Rezco, long time friend and neighbor, now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO); or Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley. Sen. Obama is not involved with, nor has Sen. Obama exhibited any nuclear security, bribery, money payoffs, or cronyism in the state of Illinois; or criminal activities related to the BIG HALIBURTAN and V.P. Cheney's Halliburton bribery case; or any political misjudgment in his escalating Campaign Crisis. Sen. Obama does not take money from people who hire lobbyists, partners of lobbyists, spouses of lobbyists, former lobbyists or state lobbyists. "GLORK" Sen. Obama Is not involved with any Hoax or Oxfam volunteers and HIV-- AIDS Witch Doctors in Africa they feed. Sen. Obama is not associated with Exiled "God damn America" SOULJAH JIHAD -- Rev. Jeremiah Wright, MUSLIM EXTREMIST (MalcolmX KillA) -- Louis Farrakhan, and black demagoguery; or Obama's Apologia-Mea Culpa; or Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; Sen. Obama has not exulted the virtue of being an aggrieved black man. Sen. Obama does not accept political contributions from terrorists. Sen. Obama has not expressed the troublesome sub-text of the October Surprise: "X-Files" -- The 1980 election scandal exposed....the extraneous-demon-us-venomous anger-driven association between Obama and aging [VX] Vietnam-era Weather Underground Radical Terrorist William Ayers. Sen. Obama is not a separatist-racist. Michelle Obama AKA Wildabeast is not a liberal-leftist-sexist-racist. Sen. Obama is not a self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box. "GLORK" Obama executed no crime in Harlem. Obama is Not America's Poison -- Reality:...He's Radio-Active.

SOULJAH JIHAD -- OBAMA CAMPAIGN CRISIS
The Republicans' disengagement (media bias), if not disillusionment, with the economic campaign issues is borne out by the fact that many more Republicans are able to explain, extinguish, and excoriate the name Barrack Obama with the term (JIHAD), than can name Bush/Dick Cheney and McCain -- as the Big Oil -- BIG HALLIBURTAN politicians expanding GOP IRAQ WAR ideology, and Republican White House Party Elders' GI Bill of Rights for the 21st century IRAQ WAR ECONOMY. Even among Republicans, Clinton is much more visible than GOP presumptive candidate John McCain towards affecting positively the important economic issues facing America's middle class economy.
When asked who they would vote for in the general election for president of the United States, the natural pendulum swing in America is 79% of Republicans named Hillary Clinton as their choice. Reasons for Obama's Campaign Crisis "GLORK" Campaign Crisis include:
"Obama has more holes in him than Swiss-Cheese." (CNN’s “Politics.com,” 4/01/08)
Obama's presidential campaign has received $2,812,336 from firms that employ registered federal lobbyists. [fec.gov]
Obama has taken $405,747 from the Pharmaceutical industry. [opensecrets.org]
Obama has received $1,185,937 from the Commercial Banking industry. [opensecrets.org]
Obama has received over six million dollars from the Securities & Investment industry. [opensecrets.org]
Obama has taken $608,822 from the Insurance industry. [opensecrets.org]

"GLORK" SOULJAH JIHAD -- CAMPAIGN CRISIS

WASHINGTON — Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened.
"GLORK" Sen. Barack Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened over the last month, particularly among men and upper-income voters, as voters have taken a slightly less positive view of him than they did after his burst of victories in February, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
The survey suggests that Mr. Obama, Democrat of Illinois, may have been at something of a peak in February, propelled by a string of primary and caucus victories over Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, and that perceptions of him are dramatically trending downward.
Mr. Obama’s favorability rating among Democratic primary voters has dropped seventeen percentage points, to 42 percent, since the last Times/CBS News survey, in late February. While that figure is steadily declining, this dramatic decline came in a month during which he endured withering attacks from Mrs. Clinton, and responded to reports that his exiled former pastor had made politically inflammatory statements from his church’s pulpit in Chicago, and swirling questions about what Barack Obama did in Harlem -- from which he cannot extricate himself.
The events of the last month appear to have fundamentally altered the race for the party’s nomination and provided Mrs. Clinton’s campaign extensive evidence of a collapse in Mr. Obama’s standing or an overwhelming preference voiced for Mrs. Clinton by Democratic and Republican voters in polls: -- perplexing developments in Obama's ongoing Campaign Crisis, that could be used to persuade uncommitted super-delegates to sign on with Hillary Clinton.
Twenty-six percent of the general electorate voters who heard of the Apologia speech that Mr. Obama the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama gave to try to deal with the controversy over Obama's separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago's Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah, said it made them dislike him. And 74 percent of Democrats and Republicans said Mr. Obama's Campaign Crisis "GLORK" Campaign Crisis "God damn America" - Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama. "God bless America" - Pope Benedict XVI and Hillary Clinton....stems from the fact that he shows continued misjudgment for even the most challenging problems. Next, the overall opinion of people in the news this year; Mr. Obama lacks the decisive capability to lead, willingness to listen, conviction and courage. Mr. Obama is no Alexander Manly when it comes to sexist-racist issues, and he uses false charges and exaggerated hate-the Saxon-race claims to play politics with national security.
For a United States Senator, Barack Obama has been doing a lot of explaining about the company he has kept for the last 17 years or so. A politician can not chose the family he has. However; he can chose the pastor he keeps. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright has influenced Mr. Obama's liberal-elitist-separatist-racist views on a variety of subjects. This may be what happened to Obama over the years, as his MUSLIM radicalism and demonize the White-Saxon-race, may expel the same Rev. Wright belief; that America and its US allies brought on 9/11. In a sincere re-examination of his world-view, Obama's Mea Culpa-Apologia says this guy is like an uncle to him. But shouldn’t his long term relationship with this despicable character call into question at the very least Obama’s judgment? From Waxahache, TX.-- to Axis-of-Evil, Mr. Obama lied about the politics of his campaign, and knew about Rev. Wright's MUSLIM Militant Farrakhan Malcolm X Mosque No. 7 - JIHADI -- FATIMA EXTREMIST mob connection to Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.

Colfax: Sen. Obama on Lobbyists --
"When it comes to lobbyists, Senator Obama’s words might sound nice but voters need to make sure they read the fine print. Despite trying to give the impression that he has no relationship with lobbyists or special interests, the reality is that Senator Obama takes money from people who hire lobbyists, partners of lobbyists, spouses of lobbyists, former lobbyists and state lobbyists.” –Statement from Clinton Deputy Communications Director, Phil Singer
Sen. Obama Has Ties to Lobbyists in His Presidential Bid
Public Citizen: 10 of Sen. Obama's bundlers have been federal lobbyists. The Public Citizen report listed the following ten bundlers for Sen. Obama who have registered as federal lobbyists: Frank Clark, Commonwealth Edison; Scott Harris, Harris Wiltshire and Grannis; Allan J. Katz, Akerman Senterfitt; Robert S. Litt, Arnold & Porter; Thomas J. Perrelli, Jenner and Block; Thomas A. Reed, Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis LLP; Paul N. Roth, Schulte Roth & Zabel; Miriam Sapiro, Summit Strategies; Alan Solomont, Solomont Bailis Ventures; and Tom E. Wheeler, Core Capital Partners. [Public Citizen, 1/29/08]
Sen. Obama takes money from employees of firms that lobby and has lobbyists as advisers. "But those who lobby for a living say it's not that simple, and even Obama's stance shows some flexibility. He won't take money from federal lobbyists but accepts money from employees of firms and corporations that lobby, and he uses lobbyists and other government relations professionals as advisers... Obama has also used major fundraisers who are registered lobbyists on the state level. And he uses registered federal lobbyists such as Broderick Johnson, who lobbies for AT&T and Shell Oil, among others, as a campaign adviser. Because Johnson isn't giving money to Obama, his name won't show up in Federal Election Commission records." [Chicago Tribune, 2/10/08]
Bloomberg: Five of [Obama’s] ten biggest sources of funds are groups of employees at law firms that lobby in Washington. "While Obama doesn't accept money from registered federal lobbyists, five of his 10 biggest sources of funds are groups of employees at law firms that lobby in Washington…Among Obama's top donors were employees of the Chicago-based law firm of Sidley Austin LLP, who gave $105,750 in the first quarter. The firm was paid $4.5 million last year" for lobbying the federal government. [Bloomberg, 6/7/07]

Prior to His Presidential Campaign, Sen. Obama took Money from Lobbyists and PACs
1996-2004: $296,000 of the $461,000 Sen. Obama raised as a state senator came from PACs, corporate contributions or unions. "But behind Obama's campaign rhetoric about taking on special interests lies a more complicated truth. A Globe review of Obama's campaign finance records shows that he collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from lobbyists and PACs as a state legislator in Illinois, a US senator, and a presidential aspirant. In Obama's eight years in the Illinois Senate, from 1996 to 2004, almost two-thirds of the money he raised for his campaigns -- $296,000 of $461,000 -- came from PACs, corporate contributions, or unions, according to Illinois Board of Elections records. He tapped financial services firms, real estate developers, healthcare providers, oil companies, and many other corporate interests, the records show." [Boston Globe, 8/9/07]
In his 2004 U.S. Senate race, Sen. Obama raised $128,000 from lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs. "Obama's US Senate campaign committee, starting with his successful run in 2004, has collected $128,000 from lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit organization that tracks money in politics. His $1.3 million from PACs represents 8 percent of what he has raised overall." [Boston Globe, 8/9/07]
