On April 6, 2008, Barack Obama visited the San Francisco region, zipping from event to event all day long, from one end of the Bay Area to the other.

What? you might ask. How did I miss that? If only I had known, I would have gone to see him.

Well, there's a reason you didn't know about it. Obama didn't want you to know about it. Because the events he was attending weren't for people like you.

They were for people with lots and lots of money, who use that money to gain access and influence with politicians -- especially politicians who might become president.

This is the event where he made the notorious "bitter" & "clinging" gaffe

Speak of an EMPTY SUIT!!!!

OR, maybe he had SECERT meetings with PLO types:-()

Pretty funny stuff...I loved the running commentary!

So who leaked the audio of Obama’s “gaffe?” That’s what I’m dying to know.

This is THE most important story of the later campaign. Obama’s in trouble and Hillary’s on a comeback. This should help her win PA big. It MAY even help her stem the tide of losing superdelegates which has been happening.

I’m sure the RINOs are salivating, thinking this will help McLame. Perhaps it will. But it will help Hillary more.

zombie rocks! The threads about the leftist demonstrations are priceless!

I don’t think that we needed “Operation Chaos”. These idiots are taking care of the monkey business on their own. She (who must not be named) wouldn’t have given up and all this stuff would have come out under her direction anyway. However, Rush Rules. Go Team!

Fascinating photos and commentary. But....What do people like the Getty’s expect to get from an Obama presidency?

ACEESS, ACCESS, ACCESS!!!

No, the media is letting him get away with focusing on the "bitter" part of his statement, when everyone knows the disgust is focused on the "cling to guns and religion" part. Look at this post from the admit at Democratic Underground.com "Senator Obama needs to avoid reminding voters about the latter part of the quote, where he made it look as if religion, guns, etc. were bad things. Instead, he needs to focus on the part of the quote where he said people were bitter, and paint his opponents as the ones who are out of touch. Make them appear that they are the ones who have gutted America's small towns, while Obama is the guy who is going to fight for the middle class." Incredible, isn't it? Leftists are so dishonest it makes me sick.

YES, and that's a GOOD thing.

The longer she stays in the more damage she will do to Obamama and NO ONE on the Republican side (except for McLame FINALLY opening his mouth and condemning B. Hussein for his comments) dares to say boo, less they be called racist, bigots, etc.

More Snacks and adult beverages please!!!!

Au contraire, friend.

What difference would all this mean if Her Highness had been defeated soundly and dropped out already???

Nooooo, we all need to pour it on as Obamama still has a substantial lead and you don't see ANYONE calling for him dropping out do you?

PLUS, the corrupt fawning, in-the-tank media, will do everything in their power to minimize this and I doubt it will even be mentioned on any of the major news networks

"Make them appear that they are the ones who have gutted America's small towns, while Obama is the guy who is going to fight for the middle class."

See, even the DUer in the land of the unwashed knows it isn't true.

Most of this monkey business, as you put it, wouldn't have occured without OC, as Hillary would be long gone.

Even the 'climing trees like little monekys' would have gone unreported.

There are other equally rich and probably richer small neighborhoods, or sections of neighborhoods. For instance, Park Avenue between about 70th and 73rd, Fifth Avenue in the low sixties, Kensington Palace Gardens, London, a few other places in London.

Here's an interesting bit of trivia I uncovered yesterday on hearing of the Getty's hosting an Obama fundraiser.

William Paul Getty is the third of Gordon and Ann Getty's sons, and often goes by the nickname "Billy". He is also based in San Francisco, and recently married Vanessa Jarman. Getty runs a wine and restaurant business called Plumpjack with San Francisco Supervisor Gavin Newsom. The venture has been successful.

You are correct. That is why it is so amazing to me that when a smoking gun comment is made by Obama that should doom his candidacy and force him to resign from the Senate, the statement is virtually ignored. Here is what I posted in another thread at FreeRepublic on March 20th:

In 1995 Obama stated: "These are mean, cruel times, exemplified by a 'lock 'em up, take no prisoners' mentality that dominates the Republican-led Congress" and "that white Americans couldn't care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing."

"This doesn't suggest that the need to look inward emphasized by the march isn't important, and that these African-American tribal affinities aren't legitimate. These are mean, cruel times, exemplified by a 'lock 'em up, take no prisoners' mentality that dominates the Republican-led Congress. Historically, African-Americans have turned inward and towards black nationalism whenever they have a sense, as we do now, that the mainstream has rebuffed us, and that white Americans couldn't care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing."

"But cursing out white folks is not going to get the job done. Anti-Semitic and anti-Asian statements are not going to lift us up. We've got some hard nuts-and-bolts organizing and planning to do. We've got communities to build."

-snip-

Obama not only made a racial generalization, but the generalization imputes evil to the targets of the generalization. It would be evil for any American, white or otherwise to not care about problems facing African-Americans. Obama's statement is 100% racist. He needs to be confronted with this statement. Nobody has done so. I cannot read Obama's mind. I don't know if he is a racist. But I cannot explain how such a statement can come from the mouth of a non-racist. I am shocked that Obama is allowed to get away with this. I cannot recall another instance of a candidate for a major office getting away with a statement as blatently wrong as this. I am truly shocked by this.

Newsom is practically an honorary Getty.
