Yeah, that would make their heads explode.

What's up TPMer old timers?

I have been arguing with cons over at Hot Air.

Good times.

 

 

 

No.

Wow, what a change in the mindset of America. Deeply hated by the "progressives" and corporate media in the primary,  to a well respected, honored by the Senate 94-2 (DeMint and Vitter, like they matter) change in the treatment the Clintons are now receiving.

As I watched Senator after Senator honor her and the blogs hatred diminished, I could not help to think, it is about time. We finally see what I argued with the old timers on this blog in the primary. What a battle that was.Good times.

And so we have the change you wanted and got. I have to say on this first day, color me impressed. From the get down to business and grow up inauguration speech, to the MTV answering his call to service and the O generation volunteering, to closing Gitmo, ethics, salary cap, Gaza, wars, whew, it is hard to keep up with the new President.

Perhaps I am seeing what they were arguing in the primary and President Obama is getting the respect he deserves.Well done old timers, well done.

 

"Better in the Senate

It seems that Clinton at the State Department is close to a done deal. But I think we should consider that during her time on the national stage Sen. Clinton has been at the helm in two big undertakings -- had two big executive leadership tasks. One was health care in 1994 and the other was her presidential bid in 2007-08. Each was something of a trianwreck from an executive-level management perspective. And the State Department is a notoriously intractable bureaucracy. I still need some help understanding this decision.

--Josh Marshall"

Allow me to enlighten you Josh. Unlike with "progressives" united with corporate media to attack the Clintons, they are well liked and respected in the world. Probably because President Clinton was a great President and the Clintons are great Americans.

Trainwreck? How about spine to try to get health care reform and 60 million votes in the primary. I do not call that a trainwreck Josh.

I wonder if Josh is going to stab the Obamas in the back like the Clintons.?  

"Hillary Clinton to accept Obama's offer of secretary of state job".

Too bad haters but she is the best choice and the world is looking forward to working with her.

 

God bless the Clintons in getting our reputation back.

I wonder if "progressives" will end up treating the Obamas like the Clintons?

As a Clinton supporter, I thought Hillary would win the general easily and doubted Obama could. America proved me dead wrong.

President Obama ran a brilliant campaign and stayed on message with it's the economy again stupid. The best man won and it is a new day in America, Change is here.

I fully support President Obama and am confident he will use the Clinton economic team to clean up another bush recession. I think we will cut a deal with the taliban and both wars will be over.

President Obama has the opportunity to be one of the greatest Presidents in our history. I pray he will govern like he said and do as well as President Clinton.

I think he will.

Guess who will campaign with Obama this last week of this cycle?

President  Bill Clinton.

Yep, yep, you betcha/wink.

Time to get the American people to get out and vote to seal the deal to crush the gop.

"Spending, the conduct of the war in Iraq for years, growth in the size of government, larger than any time since the Great Society, laying a $10 trillion debt on future generations of America, owing $500 billion to China, obviously, failure to both enforce and modernize the [financial] regulatory agencies that were designed for the 1930s and certainly not for the 21st century, failure to address the issue of climate change seriously," Mr. McCain said in an interview with The Washington Times aboard his campaign plane en route from New Hampshire to Ohio."

Hillary Clinton sent me to vote for Barack Obama and I did.

"Hillary Rodham Clinton stepped up her efforts Friday to swing her supporters behind Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, her former rival for the nomination.

In an outreach dubbed "Hillary Sent Me," the New York senator invited her primary-season partisans to get involved directly in Obama's campaign and to donate to it. As part of that, she urged them to travel to a specific battleground state each weekend, beginning with New Hampshire on Sept. 27, when she will be campaigning for Obama in Michigan.

"Today I am asking all of you to stand up with me, to hit the road and spread the word that we must elect Barack Obama president and send a Democratic, filibuster-proof majority to Congress," Clinton told supporters in a conference call Friday. "This is a call to action, a must-do. We all have a role. And there is not a moment to lose."

Life is about choices. Make a bad choice and bad things happen in your life.

Now Americans have a choice. A party in power that gave us a new depression, bailed out with socialism, dividing with hatred, reputation destroyed, needless war based on lies and governs only for the wealthy.

That is a bad choice and bad things will continue to happen with that bad choice.

Lets makes make a new choice and hope better things will happen.

The new choice is change which is constant and the bad choice is not change just a bad choice.

BTW, another message for Matthew Weaver:

"Undermining McCain Campaign Attack, Republicans Back Obama‘s Version of Meeting With Iraqi Leaders"
 
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09/undermining-mcc.html

I tried to tell you but invite you to join me in Hillary's leadership.

"Hillary Sent Us."

"That was the famous mantra coined by Bill Clinton strategist James Carville in 1992, when he constantly reminded his presidential candidate to focus on issues that mattered to Americans - their jobs, their financial security and their standard of living.

Clinton trounced a stunned George H. W. Bush by fixating on the faltering economy throughout the campaign.

Barack Obama appears to be taking a page from the Carville handbook this week amid the troubles of two of the most storied U.S. investment companies - Merrill Lynch & Co. and Lehman Brothers." Add AIG and you have the perfect storm destroying the gop.

Now, Obama is in the exact same position.  A young, relative unknown, when the country is in desperate need of change. I think we can all agree, we long for the good ole days of the Clinton economy.

Carville stated that McLiar's "the economy is fundamentally strong" was a fatal error and I agree. It would be very wise to hire Carville for advice and use both Clintons in the last month to seal the deal.

I would argue to really seal the deal, Biden should step down for "personal reasons", Make Hillary VP but I know the Clintons are hated on this blog.

Back in March, it was Hillary comparing McCain to Herbert Hoover. The Clintons know how to run  a robust economy and should be heard and praised on this fact. 

Ah, the good ole days.

I would post this at your new home blog but was banned.

About Amir Taheri. Dude, he is credible as Larry Johnson and his "whitey" tape, Baghdad Bob or "curveball. A real kook. Hate to see you get punked like that.

"The author of the piece you cite is a strong advocate of a US invasion of Iran  with a long history of false claims, most recently that Jews in Iran were being forced to wear stars on their clothing.

Earlier, he had claimed that Iran’s ambassador to the UN had been part of the group that had seized our embassy in Tehran. Could have been true, except for the fact that in 1979, during the embassy seizure, the ambassador was attending college in California."

Anyhoo, congrats on the new gig. That gop blog is not credible so I guess it is okay there. The only problem I see is still using a pro Clinton fallacy when it is defintely gop.

   

You witnessed last night why I support this great leader, fighter and big time politician. She is the best the Dems have to offer because she is a fighter. She is the one.

If you watched it on C-Span without the corporate media spin, you will use your own mind to decide. Yet you bought into the corporate media hatred and division. The nonsense spewing from the talking heads paid by the corporate media to do your thinking. The thug mentality of the "progressive  blogs. Some are still attacking her and the President. You called them racist, disrespected and never honored your great leaders.

Shame on you.

Her supporters were right. She is the best candidate and would surly win the general easily. The worst president in our history has endorsed the other candidate and he is using the same failed policies.

If Obama can't win this cycle, you can't blame the Clintons like the wingnuts but hope you will vote for her the next cycle if he does.

Like I said all along, its a no brainer and she is the one.

"Remember how Obama and Donna Brazille all made a big deal about how the Superdelegates should vote with their constituencies? Well, I finally decided to check the math. Notice there are some supers unaccounted for because I couldn’t see their numbers but, it doesn’t matter it’s not enough to make a difference. So, what’s the number if they voted with their constituents?

Obama 348
Hillary 454

I agree with Obama and Donna, they need to vote with their constituents."

Do the right thing delegates. We, the people want Hillary Clinton to win.

The one has chosen and so it shall be. 

"If this isn’t a sign of just what a crooked, morally bankrupt Chicago Thug he is, I don’t know what is. He and Donna and Howard blocked these delegates and these voters from being counted because he knew he would lose. Then he blocked their re-votes because he knew he would lose. No sense of denying that he blocked these re-votes, it’s a matter of record now."

http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/08/04/if-you-have-any-remaining-doubt-that-obama-is-morally-bankrupt%e2%80%a6/#more-3981

I say the delegates should flip flop and vote for Clinton to make this right.
