Nuff said

Gotalife, I'm starting to get the impression that you don't like Obama.

Jimmy Carter also said he thinks Obama did the right thing in how he responded to Wright this week. On Monday, Carter indicated on Larry King that we'll have a clear nominee June 3: the candidate who has the most pledged delegates, pop votes, and states won. That would be Obama. Carter's chief point, in that discussion, was that a protracted contest, beyond June 3, would hurt the Dems chances. He suggested we look at his experience in 1980 running against Ted Kennedy. You may want to bring that interview to the attention of your candidate, gotalife.

Obama's struggle to find the right tone -- six weeks ago he said he couldn't disown the pastor he's known for 20 years -- also reflects a striking difference in how Democratic voters view the controversy and its proper handling.

What are you trying to say? Obama responded in Philadelphia to the media firestorm over the Wright sermon clips. This week Obama responded to Wright's PR tour. Two different situations. Two different responses.

Gotalife, listen. You are no Republican troll--you don't want McCain elected and you're very concerned about the direction of this country. There is a very good chance Obama is going to be the nominee--one might even say a great chance, despite what you might wish. So isn't it time to cut out all this anti-Obama rhetoric and focus on strengthening him so he can beat McCain and we can save this country from the hell-in-a-Republican handbasket? For the sake of the country and the Democrats?

If Obama is a sure loser, I wonder how history will view Hillary Clinton. She had literally all the name recognition in the world. She had 8 years as first lady and a supposedly brilliant campaigner and certainly beloved Democratic former President. She had the party machine at her disposal. She had at least six "home" states to campaign in. She had oodles and oodles of experience and she had already been thoroughly vetted. The American people already knew her and knew that she was ready to lead on Day One. And she still wasn't able to wrestle the nomination away from a relatively unknown Governor from a Southwestern state, a relatively unknown Senator from a tiny state in New England, a gaffe-prone Senator from a tiny mid-Atlantic state, a former Senator and Vice Presidential candidate who may be best known for a $400 haircut and having a father who was a mill worker, and a first-term upstart Senator for Illinois.

Who's the sure loser again?

I was excited there for a minute that Gotalife had posted more than his usual one sentence of inane commentary. Alas, imagine my disappointment to realize he just did a copy and paste of someone else's commentary. At least he included quotation marks.

You can ignore these thousands of articles and keep drinking the kool aid but in the real world, Obama is toast.

He is hurting the party on down ticket races and should drop out.

Geeeez, gotalife! I keep thinking of you as a better person than you sometimes reveal yourself to be.

I hope you're not taking lessons from that loser, Weaver.

Provide links to the quote you use, please. Who said it, where and when?

Gotalife:
straight off of AM radio from Slush Limpjaw - drink the koolaid, drink the koolaid. How inane. Constantly insinuating that anyone not supporting your choice is a mindless follower. How sad.

What's the matter goaty, don't like it when the vultures start circling the corpse of your troll-post?

Oh. And you also better tell it to New Jersey because a new poll done there shows that Obama is more popular there than Clinton. Oh, is this what they call buyer's remorse? Hmmm.

Current ratio: 33 comments, 5 recs.

Hey goatlife, the only important news of the day is that the congressional superdelegates have already sewn up the race for Obama, and it's all over but the crying.

However, they are considerate enough to the electorate not to add their voices to the nominating campaign until the primary races are done. So by all means trot out all of the faux-punditry but it doesn't mean a hill of beans. Because the nominee is nominated on delegates, not news articles.

Dear Gotalife:
See my comments in CAPS in your text.

"Now, after Obama's uncategorical repudiation yesterday of the man who presided at his wedding and the baptism of his daughters, voters and other political observers will inevitably wonder what took so long - and how Obama could have misjudged someone to whom he was
very close. THEY WEREN'T EVER CLOSE EXCEPT DURING THE WEDDING AND BAPTISMS AND OCCASIONALLY IN THE BEGINNING DURING PRAYER SESSIONS. OBAMA DID NOT ATTEND SERVICES REGULARLY, AND WRIGHT DIDN'T REGULARLY RANT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT. SOMETIMES HIS RANTS WERE FAIRLY TAME AND FORGIVABLE. REMEMBER, OBAMA WASN'T THROUGHOUT THOSE 20 YEARS THINKING OF HIS PASTOR AS A POTENTIAL POLITICAL LIABILITY; HE WAS THINKING OF HIM AS HIS PASTOR AND THE PASTOR OF SOME 6,000 OTHER PEOPLE, SOME OF WHICH WERE NOTABLE THEOLOGIANS FROM THE U. OF CHICAGO. IN BRIEF, HIS RELATIONSHIP JUST WASN'T AS CLOSE AS YOU AND THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MAKE POLITICAL CAPITAL OVER THIS ARE SAYING, AND WRIGHT JUST WASN'T AS OBJECTIONABLE IN OBAMA'S PRESENCE AS THE RELATIVELY SMALL COLLECTION OF SOUNDBITES AND HIS RECENT PERFORMANCE SUGGEST.

Jimmy Carter: Obama has
been 'really damaged'

Even former President Jimmy Carter, who normally avoids commenting on the presidential race, told CNN that Wright had "really been damaging" to Obama's presidential campaign. AS CHENEY FAMOUSLY SAID, "SO?" HE WAS DAMAGED INITIALLY WHEN THE FIRST SOUNDBITES WERE POUNDED INTO AMERICANS, AND HE RECOVERED BEAUTIFULLY IN HIS SPEECH ON RACE. IF YOU LISTEN TO OBAMA'S ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ABOUT WRIGHT YESTERDAY, I THINK YOU'LL SEE A BRILLIANT, THOUGHTFUL AND GENUINE PERSON GIVING HIS HONEST REFLECTIONS.

Politics as usual: Obama was forced to throw Wright under the bus HE SAID HE WAS ANGRY AT WRIGHT FOR VIOLATING THE STANDARDS OF HIS CAMPAIGN DESPITE HAVING PLEDGED BEFORE THE CAMPAIGN STARTED TO SUPPORT OBAMA. HE'S UNDERMINING THE CAMPAIGN BY SUGGESTING THAT THE ONLY REASON OBAMA CRITICIZED WRIGHT'S INFLAMMATORY STATEMENTS IS THAT OBAMA IS A POLITICIAN, MEANING THAT OBAMS IS LYING TO THE WORLD ABOUT WHAT HE REALLY FEELS. OBAMA IS ANGRY AT THIS MAN WHO NOW SEEMS NOT ONLY CRAZY IN SOME OF HIS OPINIONS BUT ALSO DETERMINED TO THROW OBAMA UNDER THE BUS, TO OPPOSE HIM AND DEGRADE HIM AS A LIAR.

Obama's struggle to find the right tone -- six weeks ago he said he couldn't disown the pastor he's known for 20 years -- also reflects a striking difference in how Democratic voters view the controversy and its proper handling. AGAIN, THIS PAST WEEKEND, WRIGHT ACCUSED OBAMA OF LYING ABOUT HIS VIEW OF WRIGHT'S INFLAMMATORY STATEMENTS.

Obama's remarks
open a 'can of worms'

When Obama says he is "offended" by Wright's latest comments -- given in defense against an orchestrated assault on his character and on his ministry -- he's opening up a can of worms. I DON'T GET YOUR POINT HERE.

Why'd Obama join Trinity
in the first place?

The question is worth revisiting now that his ex-pastor is threatening his entire campaign.

Wright has a right to
defend his reputation

" How dare someone who has been so deftly caricatured by the media try to defend himself and show that there is more to him, his life and his ministry than fits into a video clip on YouTube." AGAIN, OBAMA'S REACTION IS NOT AGAINST WRIGHT'S DEFENSE OF HIS REPUTATION. IT'S AGAINST WRIGHT'S ASSAULT ON OBAMA'S CHARACTER AND, THEREFORE, THE ENTIRE CAMPAIGN, WHICH INCLUDES MILLIONS OF VOTERS WHO THINK HE IS IMPORTANT.

Wright's comments alarm black ministers

African American ministers in Los Angeles expressed angst and concern Tuesday that a fresh round of comments by Sen. Barack Obama's former pastor was hurting the Democratic presidential candidate's campaign and skewing public understanding of the black church."

Now the gop are dusting off their liberal arguments. SO?

Obama is a sure loser. Period.

Well, well, well, the trolls are ignoring his melt downs, terrible judgement, no credibility, playing the race card, corrupt and he is just another lying, rookie, politician.

Go figure.

Amazing.

Obama is a sure loser. Period.

After all of this English... what exactly is Obama losing? To the best of my knowledge, he is winning most of everything against Hillary... did I miss something?

Gotalife is a loser...yeah, huh.
