In a speech this afternoon in central Iowa, Barack Obama seems to have widened his criticism of the politics of the past to encompass not only Hillary Clinton but John Kerry and Nobel Laureate Al Gore.
Making an argument for his electability, Obama said, "I don't want to go into the next election starting off with half the country already not wanting to vote for Democrats -- we've done that in 2004, 2000."

Seems like Hussein got something right...although he continues to follow their ludicrous policy.

Someone tell Barrack that it’s about the issues. The divide is real and not about to go away.

He is correct, at the same time he runs left of the other three.

Can't argue with the fact that more than half the country has not voted Democrat for a president since Carter.

Obamasama just had to have talked all this stuff over with Doug Wilder. He's the black man who was elected Governor of Virginia. He then governed rather much like a white Republican in the Midwest.
Doug went out with his reputation intact, and with even Republicans respecting him.
That's how you have to do it if you want to be President of the United States too.

He is a smart man. I would never vote for him but he is getting it. The Clintons, Gore, and Kerry were disasters for the Democrat party. It wasn’t because of Republicans it was because of the sheer ugly nature of their politics. They saw the American people as pawns and themselves as heir apparent.
Who in their right mind would’ve chosen Clinton, Gore, or Kerry as their standard bearers? Compare them to great Democrat presidents of the past and they are not fit to be the gum on the bottom of JFK’s shoe let alone be President.
Obama is going to win this unless something happens to him.
I hate to talk like that but it is a history whether it be by some evil fate or some hidden malfeasance, those who stand in the Clinton’s way find themselves run down in the street. I pray for Obama and his family for Protection because they are going up against something that is not just political. Republicans are facing the same thing. Look at our front runners. We should remember even good men can be the pawns of the dark ruler of this world.

"half the country already not wanting to vote for Democrats" Poor analysis. That hasn't been the problem. The problem has been that (at least) half the country is anti American.

Edwards is flamming left. Osama is left. Just what the party has correographed. Hillary is the unifying moderate centrist.

It’s not just about party. This Osama clown, Hildabeast and Breck-girl aren’t qualified to be president. I'm not even talking about policy.
Heck, I wouldn’t even trust them to watch my neighbor’s dog.

This guy is smart...he is distancing himself from the hippies and the commies and he is turning to the younger generation.
He will be much more difficult to beat than marxist Hillary.

LOL! Ooooo, that’s gonna leave teeth marks. He’s making too many people in his own party mad at him. He will regret it IF by some chance he beats Hillary.

People agree about this and then seem to want Romney or Huckabee, which will alienate much of the Republican Party.

But, but, I just read a post that reports that Obama will not stand for another election being “stolen” by the G.O.P. like the last two! This sumbitch wants to take his cornbread home and eat it too.
