The Rules Are Changing for Obama

Barack Obama seemed puzzled. Angrily puzzled. The apostle of hope seemed flummoxed by the audacity of the question. At the April 16 Philadelphia debate, George Stephanopoulos, longtime aide to Democratic politicians, was asking about his longtime association with Weather Underground bomber William Ayers.
The Weather Underground attacked the Pentagon, the Capitol and other public buildings; Ayers was quoted in The New York Times on Sept. 11, 2001, as saying, I dont regret setting bombs; I feel we didnt do enough.
It was at Ayers house that Obamas state Senate candidacy was launched in 1995; Obama continued to serve on a nonprofit board with Ayers after the Times article appeared.

Last night on Pee-BS “News Hour”, one of the commentators stated that he couldn’t conceive of a way that McCain could win against Nobama. He essentially pronounced the election as over. I laughed out loud.

And if McCain does win due to growing doubt over Obama's shady associates and murky background, the left will cry "stolen election" louder than ever.
Because that would be impossible, right? No Repuke could possibly beat the messiah. I'm moving to Canada!

The Obama mob drove most of the
Hillary folks off of Daily Kos and they have pretty much done the same to anyone who criticizes Obama on other social news sites.
Obama's most fervent supporters stopped absorbing new information on their icon weeks ago. They shoved their fingers in their ears and started singing la la la la, so Barack Dukakis's defeat (be it at the Dem convention or in November) is going to come as quite a shock to them.

What happened to all those idiots who promised to leave the U.S. if Bush won a second term? Oh wait, they didn’t leave.

LOL, they didn't leave, they just stayed and grew more bitter. They talked a grand game of leaving en masse, to Canada, South America and Europe but they stayed right here. I can't wait to see the DU meltdown if McCain wins. I predict a server crash, followed by several days of "members only" hard drinking. Then we'll see the usual "I'm so discouraged, I don't care about this stinking fascist rathole anymore" comments, followed by the promises to leave. But again, they won't leave. Like a dormant virus, they will plot and multiply and scheme to "take America back" in 2012...but we all know the world ends then anyway.
I really can't wait to see the chaos in Denver for their convention. It will be a stunning display, the Tet offensive of the left, the desperate dying spasms of what should have been the Year of the Democrats, crushed by the unfair examination of their weapon. Hillary will be hated ForEver. Many a vegan coffeehouse will see the sullen, bitter vitriol of the vanquished. But they won't leave.

Obama again shows that his inexperience and radical views only create disdain. He is a divider, he has his own side and his actions, associations and statements clearly demonstrate this fact!

George Stephanopoulos, longtime aide to Democratic politicians, was asking about his longtime association with Weather Underground bomber William Ayers..............And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values, doesnt make much sense, George.Boy, this empty suit Marxist really is clueless. It's not about how old you are when he did his crimes, but your relationship with him now.
Obama, If I had an association with a thug bomber, I would CONDEMN and DENOUNCE HIM, not embrace him.
That's what man of character and honor do, you puking Marxist

There was a Democrat shill on CNN yesterday talking about the questioning of Obama's character due to associations with Ayers, Wright, etc.
She said all that is irrelevant; a man's character is composed of his plan for healthcare and the economy, it has nothing to do with his friends.
How can we keep distracting the American voters by bringing up irrelevant trivia when all that is important is the hope for change?

Yes, and threats of armed revolution if they don't win this year. When are they going to make good on leaving/revolutioning? A lot of these losers are on the shady side of 55. Time for them to put up or shuddup.
