Obama-Time
Posted by Bossip Staff
Here is what that shady Clinton recently said about working class white folks not feelin’ Obama:
Clinton cited an Associated Press article ‘that found how Sen. Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.’”
Barack Obama is on the cover of Esquire Magazine, due to hit stands on May 13th.
The future is looking bright for Obama. A recent CNN poll said that it’s time for Hillary to hang it the hell up already. She’s so desperate, she just loaned herself another 6.4 million – bringing the total amount to 11.4 million duckets she’s lent to herself for this hopeless campaign. LMAO – All that low-down treachery has resulted in nothing but burning a hole in those pockets. A word of advice to HillBilly: Quit while you’re behind.
It’s all about Obama – YES WE CAN!!

YAY OBAMA!!
Bossip i don’t know what is up with your new feature but the links don’t even work..take it off!
When I see him I think of HOPE, I think of CHANGE. I wish him all the luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He posted a profile on a celeb dating site ” mar rymi lli onai re.com ” . many of his fans were seeking for him and wanna date with him. now that club is very hot because of him.
Big Ups to Sen. nope President OBAMA!!!!!
Bossip please block those dating site people.
Obama has given me hope for a change, a real change in the way this goverment is ran. How was it ever tolerated that we have a president whole stole the election, brought us into war, and this whole time he is making a major profit from our soliders blood. Shame on him, I’m ready for OBAMA!!
No offence but the way Obama and Clinton are battling it out and attacking each other, proves they are out for their ownsleves…not America or world politics THEIR EGOS!
Not to mention some of the backwards comments both candidates have said over the past months to make a desperate point!
WHERE HAS TRUE DEMOCRACY GONE!
True democracy wouldnt have policies already, true democracy would listen to its people and bring forth a referendum for its people to vote on major decisions…like war!
Let no man or woman take your taxes and tell you have to live your life…politics is destroying this world, because politics breeds of fear!
LMAO @ HillBilly!!! Too funny
Hell YES WE CAN!!!!!
LOVES HIM. I Never lost faith that my boy was gonna pull it off! Just one more step to the whitehouse!
Those who is looking for a man to bring them HOPE is only fooling themselves. Look at the bible for heavensakes…many things have been predicted already, and it will only get worst..and the presidents of America are making it worst!
You want HOPE stay in school, get a job and pray to Christ!
The Math does not add up Hillary, give up.
Damn, Bossip! How can you post this story and not mention Hillary’s statement about how she’s getting all the “real, hard-working, white American votes?”
She’s not *#$&ing getting *mine*!
DAMN RIGHT WE CAN!
Tracey
take your own advice.. the word is WORSE
I JUST LOVE IT WHEN HE SLAMS DUNKS HILARY’S FACE!!
Hillary know the only reason she won Indiana (by 2pts) was because of operation chaos. Pill popping Rush told Republicans to go out & vote for Hillary cause she is the weaker candidate. Polls aready show that Obama would smoke McCain in Nov. If she win, it would also keep this drama going on among the Dems. Either way it would keep old ass McCain & his out of touch policies out of the news.
There are laws in certain states that you cannot cross party lines from the primary to the general election. That law need to be in all 50 states.
…
All the energy they placed on taking out each other is just makin it easier for McCizain. He sittin back laughin. Obama may win the battle but sadly he will lose the war. He will prolly have to wait 4 more years. All we can do is our part by voting.
@ Random White Dude…I LIKE U.
Time to can the dating site spammers. That crap is old.
Can anybody tell me – what the heck is “Check me out!” for?
@ Random White Dude
I just read about that on CNN. The media and Hillary are doing nothing to help democrats for the fall election. If McCain wins, they can thank Hillary and the media!
YES WE CAN!! Go Obama!
@Somer: Although I agree with you on some level, if you interfere with people being able to vote across party lines, then it is a violation of my right to choose whomever I want. I think it would only work during primary season, but then again, if there is a candidate that you want to focus on in another party, it all becomes a shell game.
Bree, relying on man to make your life right is stupid, all the men and women that will head any country has to serve big business first…dont be fooled!
Get yourself in school, get a job and get your ass in church…obama isnt going to fix anybodies like, nor clinton nor mccain!
@Bree
Don’t be a smart-ass!! How about that?
@Tracey
I feel what you’re saying. I’m into the Bible, Kuran, Revelation, and things of that nature. But ofcourse, everybody won’t understand or know where you are coming from because “eyes have not seen, nor have ears heard”. Personally, I like Obama and am rooting for him. I think he’s one of the most positive influences in politics right now. For whatever it’s worth, I hope that he becomes the next president, too. Go Obama!!!!
LOL@ Hillbilly! Things are looking great for Obama. I pray Obama president, I believe that he has it! There is no way in hell McCain can win.
Senator Clinton was supposed to rout Senator Obama in Indiana but she won by only so many thousands of votes-meanwhile Obama tookN. C.. The point is; there is no way in hell Clinton can catch Obama-or defeat him-the Wright episode did not phase him, and the gas tax gimmickery was realized by voters. Hillary needs to sit the hell down, already!!
Yes.We.Can!!!
Obama 2008!!!
Obama 2012!!!
I suporrt Barack Obama 100%
@ Somer
Being in Indiana, I can agree to that to some extent. There are some Republicans here, that did vote for Obama in the primary and are willing to vote for him again in the fall. The rural, less populated areas here hurt Obama because they are scared of change, as did the Operation Chaos Republicans. In the NC primary, they could not switch and we saw the results. I only wish we could’ve seen the results if that were to happen in Indy.
Hey as long as Obama is honest, he is not anyones saviour or hope…he has to be honest people can only help themselves. if he is prepared to get the hell out of Iraq (which is unlikely) and raise aspirations he has my votes.
Useless people with nothing to offer and hoping everything falls into their laps have to wise up…Obama cannot give you anything!
@ Tracey
STAY IN SCHOOL, that is what i am referring to..you have way too many spelling/grammatical errors to be checking someone else on their education
@ Missy
i’m not interested
YES HE/WE CAN 2008!
@Lola AM
Hi, Lola *waving*
I read in The Huffington Post yesterday that thre are rumblings that Clinton will drop out of the race by June 15. We’ll see. . .Most of the political pundits I’ve seen and the commentaries I’ve read are all saying the same thing — we will have a Democratic nominee soon, and it will not be Hillary.
Also, Obama is continuing to pick up more support.
From the NY Times:
“John Edwards’s endorsement still eludes the Democratic candidates, but today one of his top advisers threw his support behind Barack Obama.
David Bonior, a former congressman and the national campaign manager for Mr. Edwards’s failed bid, said Mr. Obama’s “commanding lead” and “positive campaign” led him to his decision.”
*there*
@$moK.E.Y.
Hey, sis!
Yes We Can — Obama ‘08
**yawn**
Obama is the M.A.N. I can’t wait till he wins!!
THIS DUDE IS THE TEFLON DON!YOU CANT TOUCH THIS MAN!HE ACTED REAL COOL THOUGH THE FIRE!HE DUCK THE KITCHEN SINK,TOLD JUDAS aka REV.WRONG TO FUK OFF!!! AINT NO STOPPING US NOW!
Its amazing how everyone calls the clintons shady but that wasnt the case 2 years ago. Black peoples appeal to obama is that his black, atleast 75% it. He wont see the white house with out hiliary as a running mate. And if u think he will then ur a idiot
I think people (myself included)feel like Obama gives them hope because he is a “minority”, and most of us thought we would never see this in our lifetime. He is a viable candidate and seems genuine. So, yes,while Christ is our savior it is still possible for “man” to give you a feeling of hope. Don’t be so literal people.
Hi Sydney *waves back*
Aren’t the primaries over June 3?
I just volunteered to help out in Kentucky! This is exciting and the 1st time I’ve ever been this involved in campaigns!
go obama!
obama will lose so get ready for it!
@Lola
Yes, the primaries are over June 3 — I think Clinton is lobbying very hard for superdelegate support because, frankly, that’s the only way she could possibly get the nomination at this point. I’m hoping she will drop out long before then since her campaign is in financial tatters. She cannot make up the difference in pledged delegates even if she won every single one of the remaining primaries (From the NYT: After Tuesday’s voting in West Virginia, which Clinton is expected to win, the remaining contests are Kentucky and Oregon on May 20, Puerto Rico on June 1 and Montana and South Dakota on June 3. Superdelegates, those party leaders who can vote for whichever candidate they want, will likely move quickly to endorse the winning candidate.)
Good for you for volunteering! It’s the first time for me as well. Doesn’t it feel great?
Girl, we’re about to have a brother make a serious run for the White House!!
FYI, Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe said this to the Associated Press:
“It’ll be over early June,” McAuliffe said. “We’ve all said we’ll be together at the end. If Hillary doesn’t win, Hillary, (former) President (Bill) Clinton, myself, we’ll be over there helping Senator Obama. And, likewise, Senator Obama will come together to help Hillary if she’s the nominee.”
politics as usual
what does he gotta say about mr. sean bell? and the outta contol pd’s across the nation?
who target yes blacks young black kids. america eats its young
@ Sydney
It does feel great! What state are you in? Hillary is being very delusional at this point. Her superdelegate supporters are switching over! Let it go! It would be great if she could concede and they could come together, with her being VP. That would be a winning ticket for sure and make it that much easier to get a Democrat back in the White House!
@TRACEY
You act like Martin Luther King, JFK, Nelson Mandela, etc didn’t effect change and Hope. Yes GOD is my Lord and Jesus Christ is my Savior but you are forgetting that the president of US is our leader(like it or not). See how fast the president changed OUR circumstances in just 8 years. Wake up sweetie and get in the real world. If you are not unemployed and living in a homeless shelter..than you are part of this economy and it does make a difference..
Oh YES WE CAN ‘08!!
Obama is going to lose against McCain!
Hillary should become an independent candidate and split the vote three ways then she will win!!!
Down with the Democrats and Republicans let’s have some real change!!!
You Obama cult members must realize that Obama is part of the establishment!
He is the MAN the only difference is that he is half white!!!
Obama is not God he is not your savior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All you FAMU Rattlers Holla at yo boy!!!!
I know Obama is not thicker that Orange and Green!!!
If you say he is you are not a true Rattler! You must be a Wild Cat (BCU)!!! Holla!!!
And yes I am BLACK!!! Florida Stand UP!!!!
The Math does not add up Hillary, give up.
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – -
yall need to watch it, cuz there is a reason she’s staying in it. she prolly knows something the rest of us dont.
dont be surprised if in a few months, just when we think Obama is the nominee……..
something sneaky this way comes!
@ da darkness
Senator Obama has already spoken to Al Sharpton about the outcomes and the Sean Bell case. Both agreed that all protests should be nonviolent as that is counterproductive.
@Lola
I’m in the D.C. area, but I volunteered recently in N.C. Are you going with a group to Kentucky?
I’ve seen and heard much talk about Hillary being considered for vp, but I really don’t see Obama going for that unless she makes that one of her requests in return for her departure from the race. Have you heard about Clinton possibly asking Obama to cover her campaign debt? It’s in the millions.
i wonder if he drives chevy. he probably ride hot boy
@ squomp
I’ve been wondering the same thing…she’s staying in for some reason unbeknownst to us
What da hell is a Rattler? LMAO @ that fool
@ Sydney
Good for you. Yes, my mother and I are rounding up our girls! lol
No, I haven’t heard that, but she has enough money to run her campaign. She’s lent it over 11 million and that’s just a drop in the bucket for her!
@Yo Mamma Call Me Big Daddy!
Orange and Green are ugly colors!! Rep that Blue and White….THE REAL Hhhhhhh.Uuuuuuuuu.
Bisons in da Buildin’
I find it ironic that Hilary is still in this campaign as well..there is a conspiracy brewing..how can her campaign chairman release that statement to the press(if she doesn’t win) when it was revealed damn near 5 weeks ago she NEEDED to win these upcoming primaries to stay in the race?..something is definitely going on here..she can’t possibly be willing to run as Obama’s vice president when she made him out to be such a terrible person based on the statements his Rev. made, the same Rev. who her husband consulted after he was outed as an adulterous fool.
@Lola
I just came across this — I think Clinton is still staying in because she refuses to concede defeat, but the numbers are working against her. It’s virtually impossible for her to take the lead at this point in pledged delegates — I think she’s hoping the superdelegates decide in her favor, but I think that’s very unlikely.
“Not long after the polls close in the May 20 Kentucky and Oregon primaries, Barack Obama plans to declare victory in his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.
And, until at least May 31 and perhaps longer, Hillary Clinton’s campaign plans to dispute it.”
If you don’t know what a RATTLER is then you must be an idiot!!!
You must be an Obama supporter they are all IDIOTS!!!!
GO OBAMA!!!!! Bush stole the presidency in 2000 and Clinton thought she could buy it in 2008! She should charge that 11 million as an L!
@Lola
Yes, the Clintons are rolling in money, but I think, and other people have expressed this as well, including journalists, that she wants to damage Obama to the point that he’s unelectable. I’m sure she cannot believe that even after the Rev. Wright furor that he won in N.C. in the double digits, and she had to eke out a victory in Indiana (I think she was expecting a blowout).
I think Hillary’s refusal to bow out gracefully is a combination of factors — her deep-seated belief that some way, somehow she can still win the nomination (through the superdelegates); she doesn’t want Obama to win, so she can run against McCain in 2012, and she feels entitled to the presidency. Just my opinion.
@ Tracey
STAY IN SCHOOL, that is what i am referring to..you have way too many spelling/grammatical errors to be checking someone else on their education
@ Missy
i’m not interested
Bree if you want to criticise people for their grammar mistakes how about going over yours first? Like a full stop is always followed by a capital letter and ending a sentence usually ends with a full stop or some sort of punctuation mark, HYPOCRITE!
Do not get mad because people are speaking the truth, politics is why we are in this mess, most politicians are reliant of fools like you, peoples fears and foolish hopes. Obama, Clinton and McCain are no ones heroes they all need to be honest, we all need to stay in school, get a job and keep honest in church. Vote for Obama if you have to, just be aware he is no ones hope. Christ is my only hope!
DaOne(Check me out!)

WTF, Blue and White the Bison convicts!!! You have got to be a joke!!!! Get a good band clown!!!!
OMBAMA!!! WELL HILL WORKING CLASS WHITE MAYBE FEELING YOU BUT MY WORKING CLASS BLACK SELF ISN’T. SIT YOUR @$$ DOWN SOMEWHERE…YOUR DAYS ARE DONE. YOU CAME IN HERE IN NY TRYING TO RIDE OUR BACKS TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND IT DIDN’T HAPPEN. WHOMP WHOMP!
@ Sydney
I just want it to be over, so we can move forward!!! What did you do while in NC???
@Yo Mamma Call Me Big Daddy!
You went to FAMU? Great journalism program there.
I support Obama, and I don’t think I’m an idiot. I can be crabby at times, but I don’t think I’m dumb. At least I try not to be. . .
@Lola
I went canvassing in N.C. Obama had a big presence in the state — campaign offices in the major cities and he spent a ton on advertising. The Tarheels really came through for him! So did you all in Indy — I was personally expecting him to lose by a much wider margin, particularly in the wake of the Rev. Wright debacle.
Bratllary is staying in the race because she is clearly mentally ill. In her delusional mind this mean B–ch really believes in her losing campaign. And her husband is too stupid and guilt ridden for effing up her time eight and four years ago to sit her ass down and tell her the damn truth.
Why is she proud and bragging about uneducated white support???!!! Political correctness aside, is was racist resentful rednecks without education who were so determined to derail reconstruction and black progress that they founded the KKK as well as the original Klan-run democratic party.
Obama is more than changing the face of politics, he’s righting, reenvisioning, and changing the very history of the democratic party.
It’s a new day and Bratllary refuses to embrace it. That is why she is not a viable candidate for Presidemt of the United States. That is why she is leading a modern day version of rounding up the least and worst of white people to back up her aasault on civil rights and one of the greatest demonstration of minority advancement this country has ever birthed and witnessed.
I just wish this delusion mean B–ch would move the eff on so Obama and the intelligent majority of this country can get down to the business of winning the white house and healing our devastated nation.
OBAMA 2008!
YES WE CAN!
@I’m just me, why is this a race issue? You sad person, you are not fit to vote for anyone?
Judging Obama like he is the only hope is wrong. Voting for Clinton or Obama based on race is even more pathetic, imo!
@Yes.We.Can!!!
It’s “faze”, sugah.
@ Tracey
i’m not mad, nor am i a hypocrite..i am not looking to Obama for hope..re-read my comments..
‘Bree if you want to criticise people for their grammar mistakes how about going over yours first?’
This is exactly what i was pointing out to you..also the word is critize**..lastly, my grammar is on point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
criticize**
LOOK i can correct myself!
@Lovely and Amazing
Hey, I take it that Hillary gets on your bad side as well, lol.
Hillary!!! Hillary!!!! Hillary!!!!!
Go independent Hillary and crush the dream of all these mindless Obama supporters!!!!
Yes I am Black with a Masters Degree next stop Dr. Big Daddy!
@ Sydney
Polls and Hillary were expecting him to lose by a much wider margin in Indiana. Final results came in and she only won by like 15,000. Anyway, I signed up to volunteer through his website and am waiting for a response.
@ Lovely and Amazing
Calm down! I agree though!
This is what she says in a USA Today Interview “Sen. Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again…”
Wow , at last she is being clear about her strategy. Hard working white americans!!! Damn those lazy shiftless sleepy-eyed watermellon-eating negros. hope the asian and latinos take not that she’s not included them in the hard working column
@ Bossip
LOL!!! Ya’ll wild for that “HillBilly” ;o)
@ Sydney (the real one)
I feel you on the combination of factors…..but I also think the unspoken truth is that she doesn’t want to play second fiddle to another man especially a black one. I ain’t racist so back up radicals I’m just speaking truth. I was so for her before all this campaign jumped off but damn if this whole process has not showed her true colors. ;p For the record by the time the primary came to the state I now live in we helped Obama win our state! Yes We CAN and DID!
Go B-Roc!! ;o)
Well bree what is with the …. where is that in any standard of English?
FYI go suck out, you ugly TROLL, you are enough to put anyone off voting for Obama, you obnoxious little twerp.
@ Tracey…Hoe sit down! Nobody was talking to you. I see that you are in here starting mess. If you read the quote you would see that Hillary made it a race issue. The whole thing is a race issue. She is saying that white working Class America is voting for her. I am saying my black working class self is not. I didn’t not say anything about voting for Obama b/c he was black. Stop reading in between invisible lines and stop attacking me just because I just posted. I see you are in here starting mess with everyone. And obviously the USA feels I am fit to vote for someone because not only am I registered but i have been voting. Obviously they don’t have a problem with it so who are you to tell me I am unfit. You are unfit to respond to me since you don’t know what you are talking about.
On top of that I have never specified who I was voting for. What makes you think that I am not voting for McCain in November, regardless? I just said she needs to sit her tired @$$ down, just like you do with tired rhetoric you are trying to spit!
Ok all-
I’m off! *Waves goodbye*
Who the fuck are you calling a hoe, I bet you are not even black, just a white dude coming in here pretending to be black. How can a black man, diss his own, purely based on his colour.
I think you are called a house negro if you are black that is?
You call women hoes, slag off your own purely based on the mans colours, get out in the fields a bit.
I will be voting Obama, not because of his race, not because I think he is our only hope. Simply because I do not think Clinton can do the job properly, i am sure Bill Clinton will be telling her what to do and McCain in the end, well he is just WAR HUNGARY!
@Lola
I also signed up to volunteer months ago, and I received several phone calls from volunteers — hopefully, you’ll hear from them soon.
@Detroiter4Life
You said a thought that has run through my mind many times — Hillary hates losing to Obama, and, yes, I think his race (but she’s keeps harping on his “inexperience”) is a factor. I don’t think she ever expected him to get this far, and it infuriates her. I think it’s ironic that people are saying that Obama’s supporters are only supporting him because he’s black when Hillary has a throng of white women voters behind her. I think women see Clinton’s run as a way to get their comeuppance. They’re tired of playing second fiddle to men, and they like seeing a woman have a shot at the top position in the country.
Now if Obama snags the nominaton, as is expected, it will be interested to see which way those women voters turn. Will they support Obama, McCain, or stay home?
Tracey
how old are you? what is with the name calling?
what do any of my comments have to do with voting for Obama?
i see that i upset you & i’m done responding to you…
… is actually a part of English WRITING, there even is a term for it, unfortunately i can not remember the name!
It is beautiful to see that Obama will not only change the mindset of America, but little boys of the less favored race will aspire to be president.
BLESSED
*will be ineresting*
@Lola
Bye!
Hey bree piss end the convo right there, no more communication, Whether you are voting McCain, Clinton or Obama I cannot tolerate ignorant ass fucks!
I’m just me,
Vote McCain, because when we are in war with Iran, I hope youu are happy propping up Haliburton, new world order, forking out you black working class taxes and spending good money washing the blood off your hands!
“”"Trail
Its amazing how everyone calls the clintons shady but that wasnt the case 2 years ago. Black peoples appeal to obama is that his black, atleast 75% it. He wont see the white house with out hiliary as a running mate. And if u think he will then ur a idiot”"”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
They werent calling her shady two years ago because 2 years ago wasnt the 2008 campaign. Seriously, what is wrong with people these days? Are they really that bias or do they simply lack common sense?
Also, you insult black people’s intelligence when you say black folks only vote for Obama because hes black.
Are you saying that Obama lacks good policies? If so, they make a case about those policies. But that would require you actually learning about them.
May 8, 2008 – 2:07 pm Tracey(Check me out!)
Hey bree piss end the convo right there, no more communication, Whether you are voting McCain, Clinton or Obama I cannot tolerate ignorant ass fucks!
does this mean you won’t be looking in the mirror anymore?
you make this too easy…stop!
OBAMA O8 YES WE CAN…ACTUALLY ESQUIRE IS FOR GQ MEN, SO I GUESS HE IS GQD THEN!!!!!
wtf is check me out ?
What I meant to say Bree was PISS OFF, get it?
I love it
@Detroiter4Life
Sorry to veer off the topic of the thread, but what’s the latest on Mayor Kilpatrick?
No you can’t! No you can’t No you can’t!
Obama Sucks!!!!! Obama Sucks!!!!! Obama Sucks!!!!
Hillary!!! Hillary!!! Hillary!!! Hillary!!! Hillary!!! Hillary!!!
@ Sydney the real one
Yeah I feel you! Why is it okay for the white women to support her and it’s because of the issues but those of us that are up on current affairs, read the paper, watch CNN, work honest jobs with a degree and we are only support Barack because he’s black!? Now if that ain’t some racist BS and a double standard.
I don’t know why she didn’t think he would make it this far?! Why do “we” always have to be underestimated and work harder for our just dues. It’s okay because in the end the victory shall be sweeter I can see it already! I hate that I even contemplated voting for her……;p
What was said about KK?!
@ AWW Shut up…I didn’t say who I was voting for. I just said how do you know.
AND JUST FYI I HAD MY PIC POSTED UP HERE FOR MONTHS. NOT ONLY AM I BLACK BUT I AM FEMALE TOO. YOU ARE PROBABLY THE WHITE IGNORANT PERSON SITTING THERE CAUSING HAVOC AND DISSENSION IN HERE. I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR YOU. YOU WORRY ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND LET ME WORRY ABOUT ME.
@ Tracey…I apologize for calling you a hoe. I meant chicken because that is what you are running around here squawking like.
@Detroiter4Life
Well, I’ve also been a long-time admirer of Hillary, and I’m VERY disappointed in the way she has conducted her campaign with the racial politics, character attacks, etc. Many pundits were really taken aback when she compared Obama to McCain and said McCain, a Republican, was better suited to be president (I know that’s not the exact quote, but that was the gist of her statement). I really think she wants Obama to lose if she can’t be the nominee.
I thought I heard that the Detroit council was trying to figure out a way to oust Kilpatrick. Let me see if I can find anything.
@Detroiter4Life
Just came across this from the Detroit News:
“The City Council this morning tabled a decision on whether to file a brief seeking to intervene in the criminal case against Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
Attorney William Goodman, who is retained by the council to investigate the text-message scandal, recommended this week the panel do so to expedite the perjury, obstruction of justice and official misconduct case against Kilpatrick.
But Goodman said the issue is now less pressing because he expects Wayne County Chief Judge William J. Giovan to issue a ruling May 19 that could accelerate proceedings.”
@Detroiter4Life
“Why do “we” always have to be underestimated and work harder for our just dues.”
Unfortunately, that’s the plight of African-Americans. I was taught that I have to be twice as good to be considered equal. I think Obama has learned some hard lessons during this campaign.
And to make matters worse, people are jumping ship from Hillary’s bandwagon. Even people like George McGovern, who Hillary worked to elect in 1972, defected from her camp and announced his support for Obama!
OBAMA ‘08 & ‘12!
YES WE CAN!! &
YES WE WILL!
@NotoriousOne
What’s good? I haven’t seen you in a while.
@ Lola and The Real Sydney
Thanks for the shout. I’m calm now LOL but seeing her online this morning with that smug grin talking about I’m staying in it is at this point just very annoying. She just looks ridiculous. Besides she has disappointed a lot of people, myself included, with her lack of grace and dignity. I’m an Obama supporter and I’ll admit she had this race on lock at the start and now she went as far as to destroy her and her husband’s legacy. I really hope Obama will be strong enough to ignore her crocodile tears and NOT choose her for a running mate.
@Detroiter4Life
I have to get back to work, unfortunately, but it was nice talking with you. Hopefully, Obama will be able to make his victory remarks May 20, and that will be the end of this primary race.
Yes We Can!
By the way, in case you missed Obama’s speech in Raleigh, here’s a link to the transcript, nytimes.com/2008/05/06/us/politics/06text-obama.html?scp=2&sq=north+carolina+and+transcript&st=nyt
@ Sydney the real one
Right…..I know we do it just don’t make it right that’s all that question was more rehtorical if anything. ;p I work with all WF they don’t trip and they can’t believe I’m from Detroit I guess I should be wearing a two small mini skirt with fish nets and ready to bust a cap in somebody’s ass when they come at me sideways but like my husband says show them what being “black” truly is because we are an intelligent innovative and inspiring race of people………but boy I tell you sometimes I just want to bust a cap in somebosy’s ass!! LOL!!LMAO!! I truly just hope Hillary changes things around quick and starts to support Obama I mean damn she stood behind a man who said I do to her, Monica L, Paula (whatever her name is) and whoever else would let him hit! ;p (That was a low blow sorry Hillary supporters) ;o)
I haven’t had my Free Press fix yet been on this damn addictive Bossip!! ;o) I don’t know what to think about KK……..I want to support the brootha but the wife in me making it hard! ;p Hell I even feel sorry for Christine Beatty’s husband. ;p
Uh…that’s D-U-C-A-T-S.
@ Sydney (the real one)
I absolutely agree with you. I think that she would want Obama to lose if she doesn’t win that nomination and that is very destructive thinking for the party. I am also very disappointed in how her campaign has been run. It has been extremely negative and quite frankly she cannot seem to control her mouth or her emotions. She is making racially divisive and party divisive comments. I think that she lacks a certain maturity and eloquence. I really don’t think when she started running she anticipated another strong candidate and thought she was going to walk away with the nomination almost immediately. I was actually a Hill supporter myself over the last few years even though she hasn’t done anything for NYS. But the mud-slinging tactics and antiquated way she has chosen to run her campaign has caused my support to go elsewhere.
@Lovely and Amazing
LOL, it’s OK, sista, believe me, I understand.
Hillary is delusional, but her time is nearly up. I admire Obama for remaining cool and collected, which makes him an even more dignified candidate. She’s making herself look foolish. Boo on her!
@ Sydney The real one
It was cool to finally have an intelligent conversation with someone who actually has knowledge of current affairs! Have a Great work day!
Yes I heard Obama’s speech…..thanks!
Go B-Roc!!!
@I’m Just Me
Yes, I definitely think Hillary expected this to be over months ago, and I think that’s a major reason why her campaign has largely fell apart (money problems, key staff turnover, etc.)
@Detroiter4Life
You have a great day, too!
The end is in sight, and history is being made!
Bossip has gone all moderation on us now, sheesh, roll on next black gossip site there will be many more!

You’re right about that, he’s defninitely going to need more funds. I believe that it was a conspiracy how McCain was able to wrap up the republican campaign; all he has to do his sit on his money which clearly gives him the leading edge over who he’s up against.

I’m sick of the race division the Clinton campaign is trying to create. The majority of Democrats who express their vote in the primaries are more likely divided by familiarity rather than racial fears. How dare the Clinton campaign paint their constituency as foolish as they pretend in order to bolster this argument!!! A year ago I was fully behind Hillary. After watching her stoop to new political lows, I will probably never trust here again. And I am not prouod to say that.
@Tracey
What are you talking about? You’re not interested in what?
@ The Real Lauren, the only Lauren, I know u wanna be me, its cute.
In most cases, your imposter is also using another alias in the same blog conversing with you or others attempting to switch roles or switch point of views on a particular subject. Just compare the last four numbers of the URL to the suspect.
@ The Real Lauren, the only Lauren, I know u wanna be me, its cute.
Here’s an example Lauren. Right click on Femme Fatale’s property and right click on this property and they will match.

@femmefatale (the real femme fatale)
Thanks for the tip! I’m tired of being fearful of namejackers!
*putting my detective cap on — this madness has to end*
Wow, look at all this anger up in here. And just when you thought. Well, I’m supporting God and Obama!!! Hee-hee. NO PASSING JUDGEMENT HERE!!!!
Also, in serious cases, if someone is harassing you or making threats that make you feel uneasy-the URL is used by authorities to trace people to a particular location-its basically the fingerprint of a PC.
@ Sydney
Lol. So am I. This may not be the most effective way of finding out…but its one way to pinpoint the fake.
@femmefatale (the real femme fatale)
Yes, something must be done — it’s an invasion. I’ll try out your tip.
Hope all is well with you.
Its going well, I’m going to get my azz back to work b/c I’m surrounded by snitches that want nothing more but to see my black azz out of the door so that they can move up in the corporate ladder. You know how it goes. I will check back in later. It was nice talking to you again. Take it easy mami.
@femmefatale (the real femme fatale)
I hear ya! Back to the grind. . .
im sick of all you haters….yall aint bout to nothinnnnn
BUN OBAMA!
“HillBilly”
That’s hilarious! Ha!
I guess they are done trying to make black folk ride for her because they used to be entertained by Bubba back in the day. He was not the first black president, he just had ghetto mentality when it came to his personal life.
Obama, Obama and Obama….good-night!
I love that cover!!!!!I don’t know the last time there was a President I thought was the whole package. I freakin LOVE Obama!!!
People who has not completed college supports Clinton, That’s because they are dumb. Duh.
People wake up! I live in TX and yes Barack won the CAUCUS here he cannot and will not even come close to winning this state in the general election. Hillary is right with all the black vote in the world Barack STILL cannot beat John McCain. Check out the Gallup poll and Barack is running even, slightly below in some instances of what Kerry had in the g.e. Bossip needs to stop downing Hillary supporters and including the person above because guess what assholes he needs them to vote for him to win! True Barack gets more of the college vote but I am sorry the average working American that is struggling on a day to day basis that doesnt have a degree outnumbers those with one. Plus, if Barack was to make the same statements that you all are making it would prove he is just a elite and doesnt care about hard working americans. Us Black people are not making the case for him and are not helping anything. I promise you more things are going to come out about Barack and the Republicans are ready to swift boat his ass. They are only waiting for him to grab the nomination. Hillary would be a lot difficult to beat and they all know it. You are so busy talking about “change” yet some of these rappers dont even want to stop saying the word bitch yet they support “hope”? and “change” Barack is a flawed candidate and although I would love to see him be president face the fact it wont happen. I’ve talked to a lot of people on my college campus (aprox 40,000 students) and we did a poll to see who would win in a matchup. Even though some voted for Barack ALL said he will lose against McCain! We dont need a Black president and sorry that is why 90% of black people are voting for him. NOT all of the 90% but out of those I will say at least almost all. Do the smart thing. Barack needs more experience!Even people in his hometown black and white have said he hasnt done a damn thing for the town of Chicago! Yall will wake up and Bossip will be the first one to throw him under the bus when he is caught in all his schemes in lies. By the way, I am sure Bossip is aware of some of these lies to….they just want to ignore it.
U know I think everyone is too caught up in this election. Yes great Obama for President. The truth of the matter is if you are not trying to change your social and economic situation then no president can help. Everyone through the governments eye is a statistic and as long as the majority is fine the rest don’t matter and thats just the truth. I gurantee we wont reach full employment or create income for those who cant get jobs because this is bigger than the president. Captalisim, classism and a host of other deterrents are our problems. Do you see how the your vote doesnt even matter anymore its up to the superdelagates. The smartest thing to do is to look up these delagates and see who they stand for and what kind of policies they have been backing and who they have been funding then you will know the democratic nominee.
@ Ashley
Sounds like you are another BUSH voter, and your from Texas, okay that explains a lot. And P.S. I am raising a family in NY, which the last time I checked was more expense than Texas and I would never vote for McCain
Melanie, your speculations are wrong. I hate Bush and quite frankly he screwed up things in TX too. People are idiots if you think just because a person is from TEXAS they all support BUSH. Also, it doesnt take a rocket science to know that the cost of living in NY compared to TX is more expensive. TX has more space/land. Second, I voted for KERRY despite knowing he would not win.
YES WE CAN!!! OBAMA ‘08′
Ashley is right. I do support Barack too but those Repub are ruthless. Friends of mine said they were voting for Barack just so McCain can beat them.
Obama is too cute. I know women throw themselves at him on the daily.
Coral, Unfortunately I have heard the same thing out here in Texas.
By the way I love Barak Obama and I wish him well and hope he wins but, I recognize that the people have the real power to change negative circumstances. King was never the president and he accomplished more so Barak could have this opportunity. If people would stop being so greedy and controlled by media and classism juist the very fact that you refer to people by economic terms lower-class, middle-class shows that you are controlled. My message is to wake up work together to form small and big business regard of race and creat jobs so children dont starve. Invest in the education system and have a country you can be proud of!
Yeah its messed up. I have family in TX and Melanie I think what Ashley meant above is that TX is a red state. Always have been & never will it go democrat so b.o. doesnt have a chance to win it. None of my family voted for Bush and its unfair to label someone being from tx as a bush lover. lol. by the way ash what school do you go to?
Coral I go to UT. Yes, that is what I meant but people are going to make false assumptions just because of where you are from without knowing who you are and what all the facts are. Lol. All I do is laugh at stuff like that because what it “seems” like to her shows she doesnt know what she is talking about. We got a poll of mostly all polisci. classes and some from random classes on campus. It was quite informative. Also, I have visted NY a few times (my dad does a lot of business up there and he goes out there around December of every year) so I am quite aware of the cost. I still dont see the relevance of that comment but whatever. That is good Melani is not willing to vote McCain but other people are where it matters (swing states).
My interest in a Democrat winning is lower tuition. Republicans are not going to do us any favors. I’m applying to grad school for the PhD program and the cost of tuition is unbelievably expensive. Because the program I am applying to is so expensive you have to apply to at least to 15-20 programs so where does that leave me? Applying to out of state colleges and having to pay out of state fees. So, I am the last person on earth to want a Republican to win.
sorry, not “expensice” but I meant “competitive” since I have to apply to so many.
@ Ashley
I agree. I am from Texas as well and sadly whether we vote for Obama or not, its a given fact that our votes will not make a difference…point blank. Republicans run this state. I also remember when Kerry and Bush were running, I was turned away twice before I finally got the opportunity to vote. They try to do whatever they can to discourage democrats from casting their votes. A lot of people were getting turned away that year and many of them didn’t make second attempts to give it another shot. I have a feeling that in this so called “Great State of Texas” history will repeat itself. For the record, I’m not a fan of the Bush’s. If you ask me, he needs to get back to his ranch Crawford and sit his tired azz down somewhere.
BLACK FOLKS NEED TO WAKE UP!!!! Sites like Bossip are going to push the presidency into the hands of the Republicans because the Democrats are sooooo divided. They are more divided than the media is reporting. BARACK CANNOT WIN without Hillary supporters, and many of them are bitter and refuse to vote for him if he gets the nomination. Some in my own family will not vote for Obama, and I have no enthusiasm whatsoever about voting for him. This feeling is common.
The Obama team has it’s work cut out for them when it comes to getting support from Hillary supporters. Women, working class whites, and older people make up a lot of people who vote, and if they stay home or vote for McCain, Obama can hang it up.
Obama supporters, and sites like Bossip, and powerful media outlets like the Tom Joyner Morning show had better consider the whole picture before creating divisive headlines and being so harsh on Hillary. Though I support her and believe she could have done certain things differently, she has been villified by the black media and Obama supporters. You’ve got a lot of black people now who believe the Clintons are racist against black people! You’ve got black politicians and commentators who’ve HAD THEIR LIVES threatened because they supported Hillary or criticized Obama. I personally, who love, and have debated whites, and defended my people countless times over the years, have been banned from websites and called a “sellout” by MY OWN PEOPLE because I supported Hillary. I can now say I can empathize with Black Republicans (I never thought I would say that in my life), because for the first time in a long time, I found myself outside of Mainstream Black America, on the outside looking in, and what I saw was not pretty. The whole thing changed me.
This thing has been ugly, and there is a lot of healing that needs to take place. I hope it won’t be too late.
vjhe you’re 100% correct. Bossip and other B.O. supporters have got to stop this division within the party. Okay, Baracks a black man that has a shot at the nomination but when you got people like Bossip and those making snide remarks about Clinton wth do these people think will hand Barack the nomination? Not us, black people are not enough to give it to him. Yes Barack is getting white support to but NOT ENOUGH to PUSH HIM OVER THE AGE. Keep degrading those without a college degree and you can kiss this opportunity that Barack may have goodbye. This is why I said McCain will easily win this nomination.
FYI, NBC Nightly News is airing an interview tonight in which Obama declares that he will be the nominee. He also does not rule out the possibility of having Hillary as a running mate:
“In any case, Mr. Obama also said he had not discussed Mrs. Clinton’s taking the vice presidency with her but would discuss it with her and others once he won the nomination.
“As soon as I know I’m the nominee, then I’m going to start making overtures to her, as well as everybody else, to figure out how we can bring this party together,” he said.”
****A L E R T**** I THINK IT WOULD BE FOOL-ISH IF OBAMA CHOSE OVER THE HILL-ARY AS A VP RUNNING MATE. FOR ONE, SHE HAS TRIED TO DEMEAN, DISGRACE AND TIRED TO DEMOLISH HIS REPUTATION ON ALL LEVELS. SHE WOULD ALSO TRY TO DOMINATE HIM IF SHE WERE 2ND IN CHARGE YOU’D NEVER SEE HIS FACE ONLY HERS, AND THIRD I DONT THINK MICHELLE OBAMA IS FEELING THAT.. NOT AT ALL. HILLARY HAS LOST ALOT OF BLACK RESPECT AND SUPPORT. IT’S OVER FOR HER MOVE ON HILLLY..
ASHLEY””’ FIRST STOP REPEATING YOU ARE FROM TEXAS, NO ONE CARES. SOME THINGS YOU SAY MAKE SENSE AND OTHERS DO NOT. SECOND BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE’S VOTING FOR OBAMA. YOU KEEP SAYING THE BLACK PEOPLE GOT HIM WHERE HE IS NOW BECAUSE OF US TURNING OUT IN GREAT NUMBERS? WELL THEN WE MUST BE THE MAJORITY CUASE THAT WOULD BE A HELL OF ALOT OF BLACK PEOPLE OUTNUMBERING WHITE VOTERS CAUSE HE’s LEADING IN EVERY AREA. THERE IS ALOT OF TIME BETWEEN NOW AND NOIVEMBER, PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT SWITCHING PARTIES, PLAYING VOTING GAMES TO PUT OBAMA UP AGAINST MCCAIN, WHO CARES WHAT DIRTY PLOYS PEOPLE USE CAUSE GOD DETERMINES EVVERY OUTCOME IN L I F E … HE DOES’NT NEED OVER THE HILL-ARY TO WIN THE ELECTION SHE WILL BE HIS LAST RESORT DUE TO THE FACT THE UNDERHABDEDNESS AND DISGRACE SHE HAS TRIED TO DETHROWN HIM WITH, WE DONT CARE ABOUT HILLARY OBAMA WILL CHOSE WHO HE FEELS ELECTABLE WITH AND COMFORTABLE WITH, WIN OR LOSE HE WILL ALWAYS BE A WINNER IN MANY PEOPLE’S EYES FOR THIS HISTORICAL MOMENT. NOW GO FEED YOUR COWS AND HORSES….
OBAMA all the way, but I am not feeling that picture. He looks as old as McCain.
BooBoo I cannot possibly read your entire post because obviously you didnt read mine. I said he was getting white votes too but not in the amount he needed! Pay attention!! Also, I only said I was from TX in two posts and it was relevant to what I was talking about and who I was talking to. So, where the hell are you going with this? I’ve been in a caucus and black people outnumbered any other race there! So, when it comes to my state i know what I am talking about. let me repeat myself again…I DID SAY HE WAS GETTING WHITE VOTES BUT NOT THE ONES THAT WILL PUT HIM OVER THE EDGE…BLUE COLLAR VOTES. Read the newspaper, watch tv, and open your eyes…this is not NEW news. lol and go feed my cows and horses, and what rock did you manage to slither under? I see you were trying to be insulting but i guess you are one of the uneducated voters that are voting for Hillary that people are actually talking about! You’re only pretending to support Barack. ::yawn:: Too bad I’ve heard that lame ass line before. Just shows your lack of maturity and inability to stick to the issue at hand.
boboo you make no damn sense. I hope you aint black because youre an embarrassment. someone send this chick back to kindergarten with a book.
femmefatale , lol! Girl I know alot of people are not looking for him to come back. But yeah I went and voted simply because it was just my right to do so even though i understand why people get discouraged in doing so. Too many conservatives out here.
For the now trillionith time…
BOSSIP IS NOT DIVIDING
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
BILLARY IS
FOR THEIR OWN
RACIST
GREEDY
EGO-DRIVEN
SELF-SERVING
AMBITIONS
AND
ALL OF THE PARTY LEADERS
AND
ALL OF BILLARYS’S FRIENDS
ARE SAYING IT TOO!
Funny, how months ago when people were all up Billary’s butt and doubting Obama they were on these boards saying Bossip is just a silly gossip site without any influence…
AND NOW THAT OBAMA HAS BEEN WINNING
AND CLEARLY WILL WIN
ALL OF A SUDDEN…
Bossip has POWER to divide the party?
Is there no end to the Billary manipulation?
There are many more qualified and unifying VP choices for Obama. Again I hope he leaves her crying butt in the dust.
I’m an Obama volunteer and I made 56 phone bank calls today for the Montana primary coming up June 3rd and 32 people said they were voting for Obama BECAUSE HILLARY STAYED WITH BILL WHEN HE GLOBALLY HUMILATED HER AND THE WHITE HOUSDE AND A DOORMAT CAN”T RUN THE WHITE HOUSE! Hillary did this to herself.
And now people want Obama to waste all his hard work by bringing that impeached and delusional mess of a bullsugar couple back in the white house? Never!
Obama 2008!
Yes We Can!
I totally agree with the person above. I too work with the Obama campaign but I dont understand why people think that the Clintons are racist. Honestly, I think she too would do alot of the U.S.
However, even those doors I have knocked on people have told me they are going to vote Barack in the primary but they will not be voting for him in the general election probably. We’re just hoping that they change their mind!
I’m so happy for Obama. You don’t see Clinton getting covers like this. It’s a matter of time before she’s out of the race — Then it’s on to November!!!
I pray that Obama is ready for the challenges that lay ahead… and you know nothing ages a handsome man like the Presidency lol.
Go Obama, look at the people that’s behind Obama at his rallies, diverse, and then look at those that are behind Clinton, all white, who’s dividing the country and who’s uniting it.
At least they can’t say it was given to him, loooooong, hard fight Obama, you deserve it, and will win in November
I find it ironic that Hilary is still in this campaign as well..there is a conspiracy brewing..how can her campaign chairman release that statement to the press(if she doesn’t win) when it was revealed damn near 5 weeks ago she NEEDED to win these upcoming primaries to stay in the race?..something is definitely going on here…
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
im not sayin….. im just sayin
Obama has not had a choice about getting into this back and forth of attacking each other but he has not even gone anywhere where he could have. Think of ALLLLLLL the DIRT the clintons have on them and Obama has not mentioned anything.
If Hillary won, the Republicans would pull out all the stops on all their old Clinton dirt. Hopefully, Hillary got any and all supposed “dirt” on Obama out in the primary so the Republicans can’t have their feeding frenzy on him. If he wins though, hold on to your hats b/c you’re going to see and hear dirt and insanity like you’ve never heard before.
OBAMA!!!!
This message is to Debra, the Obama volunteer who is wondering why Hillary is being called racist. The reason is that Hillary has been arguing that white racism makes Obama unelectable and because of white racism you should choose her. She’s also been “blackening” Obama by using negative black imagery to play up to white racism and bring him down.
Hillary has tried to turn Obama into a mere black candidate who only appeals to black people. As a volunteer you know that’s not true: he has broad appeal to so many. Blacks support him overwhelmingly b/c they have no barrier of racism against blacks to prevent them from seeing how outstanding a candidate he is.
If you use white racism to advance your cause, what does that make you?
10:40 holla…i feel you!!! Obama hasn’t dished out any s#1t because he is better than that, he has only RESPONDED to what is being brought to him…dont forget people…he may be running for prez but obama still got some hood in him, he looks like he could cut that b1tc# down if he wanted to, and thats kinda sexy in a man and a future prez…but i digress…
on a side note..all those supporting hillary…dont think her and her husband aren’t using the fact that blacks “love them some Clintons” to their advantage? psh. they’re not down for the cause, they’re down for the votes. she has played nothing but shady. Obama is change, and he’s ready to bring this country back to where we were.
Barack and roll!
Still Got It – I am an strong Barack supporter but I honestly do not believe that she or her husband are racist. When I made that comment it was more of like a rhetorical question. However, I think what they have said is taken out of context. It is unfair to call them racist when our candidate has said things that people will think is racist. So, I am only being fair and openminded which is what this whole campaign needs. Calling each other racist and name calling is utter ridiculous.
test
I love it! YES WE CAN!
http://www.jhazzaisworld.wordpress.com
The truth is we don’t need a woman running this country because a woman in such a powerful position shows weakness. Other countries that are so called terrorist nations will not take the U.S. seriously because they don’t take women seriously now and that’s the damn truth and all of you know it!
Maybe Hillary should loan $6.4M to the voters.
Then maybe she’d have a chance..
obama’s hot.
Go Obama! Just keeping it clean and dignified knocks her out of the competition. She has simply resorted to what she knows. She lacks class.
You can BET that Hilary will run as an independent in the general. I’m not at all worried about Barack winning the votes of many who support her. He just needs time to work on them, and 4 months is well enough time. This man is solid.
Her move to independent will show America just how PATHETIC and power hungry she really is. I think the Obama camp will do a good job of framing her as that. McCain really doesn’t have a chance, and the Republicans absolutely know how weak he is which is why they feel the need to muddy up the waters to help that old incompetent bastard. Let’s face it…only thing he as ever really accomplished was be a P.O.W.- and not even THAT was initiated by him. THEY CAUGHT HIS ASS (LOL)!
And if you think that Hilary will split the vote from just Obama, she will also split them from McCain. Obama’s going to win this thing. Don’t forget that the Republicans with revive all of the Clinton era scandals (even pre-presidency) to remind the american public just how slimy this bitch and her dog ass husband really is. Plus, where will she get the money to run in the general??
I’m sending Barack another $25, and another, and another when necessary. I urge all of you to do the same if you really believe this man can do it.
MUST READ ARTICLE:
Hillary’s Two-Way Street
“I think you have to speak out against that,” said Hillary Clinton. “You certainly have to do that, if not explicitly, then implicitly by getting up and moving.”
Clinton was talking about what she would have done had she been in Jeremiah Wright’s church.
But would she have?
The former first lady has her own Jeremiah Wright. His name is Bill Clinton.
“You don’t choose your family but you choose what church you want to attend,” she said.
But you do choose your husband.
She chose Bill Clinton. And she has not gotten up and moved.
Instead, she has enabled him over the last 32 years of their marriage, not only standing by him, denying what she knew about his womanizing and trying to delegitimize those who told the truth about it. In fact, it became such a constant in the campaign that his chief of staff Betsey Wright only half jokingly referred to these episodes as “bimbo eruptions.”
About one girlfriend, Connie Hamzy, she said,,”We have to destroy her story.” About Gennifer Flowers she denied the story even after having a tape played on television about it. It was “attack the motives and the details,”said former Clinton press secretary Dee Dee Myers told Sally Bedell Smith, author of “For Love of Politics” (ever wonder why so many former Clintonites are not supporting her or are actively supporting Obama? And what about Senate colleagues?). He was accused of sexually harassing Kathleen Willey. He was accused of rape by Juanita Broderick, exposed himself to Paula Jones and finally had a sexual relationship with a 21 year old White House intern, a few years older than his own daughter. When Clinton gave his famous finger wagging speech, lying to the country that “I did not have sexual relations with that woman,” Hillary was by his side. “That was Clinton at his cold-blooded worst,” former Clinton administration official George Stephanopoulos later wrote. Now, full of self righteous fury, he was lying with true conviction. All that mattered was his survival.” And he survived, for one reason only. Hillary Clinton supported him, denied the stories, and allowed White House operatives like Sidney Blumenthal to try to shred the characters of the women he had dallied with, particularly Monica Lewinsky who was portrayed as a stalker and a temptress.
Hillary did not get up and move.
She stood with him while he put their daughter through the most painful, humiliating and embarrassing time of her life. She watched while he squandered the last two years of his administration concentrating on saving himself. She spent days helping prepare for his grand jury testimony in which he repeatedly lied. She was there for his contempt of court citation for lying about Lewinsky and for his impeachment, for his plea bargain which cost him his law license for five years and for his pardon of criminal fugitive and political donor Marc Rich.
She did not get up and move.
Now she is running for President.
When he likened Obama’s win in South Carolina to that of Jesse Jackson’s years ago, when he described Obama’s record of opposing the war in Iraq as “the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen “ and when he accused the Obama campaign playing “the race card “ against him, he succeeded in polarizing the democratic electorate. Caught off mike, he then said, “I don’t think I should take any (expletive) from anybody like that.”
Later he denied having said it, “no, no no, that’s not what I said. You always follow me around and play these little games,” he said to a reporter, “and I’m not going to play your games today…You have mischaracterized it to get another cheap story to divert the American people from the real urgent issues before us”
He got red faced and angry when New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson endorsed Obama, declaring that Five times to my face he said he would never do that.” Richardson denied that. Hillary was criticized for making up a story and repeating it several times about being under sniper fire in Bosnia, when in fact she took her daughter Chelsea and was greeted on the tarmac by a young child carrying flowers. Bill Clinton remarked, “And I think she was the first lady since Eleanor Roosevelt to go into a combat zone”… (untrue), And some of them, when they’re 60, they’ll forget something when they’re tired at 11 at night, too.”
Still, she did not get up and move.
We can only guess what Bill Clinton has up his sleeve next to embarrass and humiliate his wife. More bimbo eruptions? More suspicious deals with foreign governments and questionable business associates? The release of the names of big donors to the Clinton Library and the Clinton Foundation? More painfully conflicted not so subtle put downs of her?
The Clintons have been lucky. Obama has not brought up any of these issues in this campaign. But if the Democrats are afraid of what the Republicans would do in the fall to Obama with Jeremiah Wright, just imagine the glee with which they and Karl Rove are anticipating the Clintons as opponents. Why do you think they are so hard on Obama? Obama is not nearly as vulnerable as Hillary Clinton would be. Besides, Barack Obama completely broke off his relationship with Wright. He got up and moved. Hillary has not.
Should she, will she, can she?
Yes she can. Yes she can. Yes she can.
Some of yall need to go back in your history books and look at the Carter Administration…
If you think that the senate and the congress is going to lay back and lift their skirts like all of the Black folks that are saying “go Obama”…you got another thing coming…
I would have loved to have been able to support a Black candidate that was consistently straightforward and looked out for his constitutents and didn’t fall into “line” each and every time…
That candidate…however, AIN’T OBAMA…so, there you go…
And yes, I’m from Illinois and know what I’m talking about…
Obama closes in on Clinton superdelegate total
Posted: 09:03 AM ET
Obama closed in on Clinton’s superdelegate lead Friday.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Sen. Barack Obama closed in Friday on Sen. Hillary Clinton’s lead among supedelegates, the Democratic party officials who hold the balance of power in determining which one will be the party’s nominee for president in November.
The Obama campaign announced the support of two new superdelegates early Friday morning — including one who had been backing Clinton. Clinton also announced a new supporter, maintaining her lead over the Illinois senator, but only by a handful of delegates. (Related: Another Clinton superdelegate jumps ship to Obama)
Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon announced his support for Obama to his local newspaper, the Oregonian. Oregon voters are currently in the middle of primary voting, which takes place through the mail.
Rep. Donald Payne, a New Jersey Democrat and an early Clinton supporter, told the Newark Star-Ledger he was switching to Obama. He is the third person to leave Clinton for Obama in the past 72 hours. Former Sen. George McGovern, D-South Dakota, announced Wednesday he had decided to switch, as did a Virginia superdelegate.
Rep. Christopher Carney of Pennsylvania said he was backing Clinton, the Clinton campaign told CNN.
Obama’s huge victory over Clinton in North Carolina’s Democratic primary Tuesday, coupled with a narrow loss in Indiana, put him within striking distance of the number of delegates he needs to cement the nomination.
A flood of endorsements from superdelegates could virtually end the race.
As much as I cringe at the thought of voting for a liberal president, I’m loving this and I can’t wait to vote for this guy.
Lala @ 9:52am, is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! I’ve been saying the same thing for a while now. All you have to do is look at the Carter Presidency. I think we can all agree that Carter is a Good honest man, but more is required in the Presidency.
And like lala mentioned, if all of you Obama supporters think the Republicans in Washington are just going to Roll over and obey Obama because he walks in singing ‘Kuba Ya’, you are in for a rude awakening.
And speaking of rude awakenings, I think a lot of peoople are going to be disappointed when they realize that Obama is more like every other politician than they think he is. Instead of doing underhanded things himself, he delegates it to others so he can continue to appear clean….which has worked so far.

Hi, Lola! *waving*
More news:
The online grassroots organization, ColorOfChange, today urged its members to begin a phone onslaught of the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee, in a protest against what it views as Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s “race-baiting” remarks.
“Senator Clinton’s race-baiting must end today,” said James Rucker, the executive director of ColorOfChange.org, a black-led advocacy group that boasts a membership of 400,000. “She is sowing division and making the outrageous claim that white voters won’t vote for a black candidate. The politics of division now seem to be her core strategy. It’s a strategy where everyone loses; we can do better and we should be able to expect better from Senator Clinton.”
If Obama can only win one big state which is 1/3 black in the primary, god help us all when we have PRESIDENT McCain, the Obama supporters are delusional. I will not vote for thsi man for pres. just like all the blue collar whites who will follow McCain…
Hi Sydney *waves back*
WASHINGTON (AP) — The American Federation of Government Employees endorsed Barack Obama Friday, giving the Illinois senator fresh momentum toward capturing the Democratic nomination for president.
“Our people, I think, recognize the enthusiasm and vitality behind Senator Obama’s campaign,” AFGE President John Gage said.
Gage, a previously uncommitted superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention, said he is also personally endorsing Obama…
While calling Clinton a friend and saying she has worked hard for federal employees, Gage said some members of AFGE’s board also think having Obama as the Democratic nominee would help the Democratic slate as a whole. Obama will do better in “bringing along some of the downticket races,” Gage said.
AFGE is the largest federal employee union, representing 600,000 workers in the federal government and the government of the District of Columbia.
Gage also said it’s time for Democrats to move beyond the primary and start concentrating on the November contest against certain Republican presidential nominee John McCain. “I think it’s time we start really focusing in on McCain, who just has a terrible record when it comes to federal employees,” Gage said.
Obama and Hilary are killing eachother. Hilary is going to end up dropping out of the race while she’s on top, and then McCain is going to win. Obama is associated with too many bad figures and the people are really starting to see that.
@Lola
Are you still here? Have you heard about this new letter today from 16 House members (including CBC members like Stephanie Tubbs-Jones) to House superdelegates that insists that Hillary is the stronger presidential candidate? And it looks like Obama’s campaign may be negotiating to pay off her substanital campaign debt? She’s losing, but he has to pay her debts. There’s something very wrong with this picture.
@Lola
By the way, Peggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal has a great op-ed today on Clinton. Below is an excerpt:
To play the race card as Mrs. Clinton has, to highlight and encourage a sense that we are crudely divided as a nation, to make your argument a brute and cynical “the black guy can’t win but the white girl can” is — well, so vulgar, so cynical, so cold, that once again a Clinton is making us turn off the television in case the children walk by.
“She has unleashed the gates of hell,” a longtime party leader told me. “She’s saying, ‘He’s not one of us.’”
She is trying to take Obama down in a new way, but also within a new context. In the past he was just the competitor. She could say, “All’s fair.” But now he’s the competitor who is going to be the nominee of his party. And she is still trying to do him in. And the party is watching.
@ The Real Sydney
Thanks for posting this brilliant Op-ed. It is the TRUTH.
Now eeveryone knows white feminists like Hoellary are racist and care only for their own “advancement” and they hate and resent the advancement and acheivement of black men and black women.
Call it, Hoellary is a bigot and hypocrit who hates the very existence of the Obama.
Hoellary is the poster woman and icon of white femnist liberal racism.
God, I hope Obama is smart and strong enough to give this mean white b–ch his butt to kiss when he picks his VP.
Obama 2008!
Yes We Can!
I get chills when I hear this man speak. I was so upset when he came to my town and I missed it. He is exactly what this country needs.
Obama, Obama, Obama
Obama is the man!!! He is smarter than Hilary, wiser than Hilary and he can take the United States of America to new heights. I think Obama is doing a phenomenal job. We need someone like him to guide this country to a better place.
Go Obama!
You a joke & a jerk,Hilary got it.
She a liar & a crook, Obama 2008! Yes We Can!
