I'm really sorry that Obama hasn't lied enough for your satisfaction.  Why don't you e.mail the campaign and ask if they can work on putting that right.

Did you read the diary?

"Her dishonesty is actually honest because I know she's pandering and lieing on many things."

That's the only good word about Hillary Clinton he bothers to include.  Hillary is good because she panders and everybody knows it.  As for Obama, he can't think of any reason to support him.

Obama is just as dishonest as Clinton, I resent that he acts as though he's not.

No, the truth is beautiful. Ugly politics is just to some people's taste

Re: It's Barack, not Barrack (2.00 / 2)

Yes it is.  Those are a lot of words to say you don't think Obama has enough experience?  Them's sour grapes, I think Joe Biden, Chris Dodd or Bill Richardson would tell you.  But I don't suppose we're done with calling the voters stupid.

I like Obama's chances of getting things done a little better than I like Hillary's.  I like that more people are involved in the system.  I like that he didn't support a war he didn't believe in.  I like that he's a fighter.  

I also already have a messiah (at least I did at the beginning of this race).  I'm voting for a leader who can restore my faith in government and the political system's ability to involve people and get a bit closer to accomplishing the promises made in this campaign.

I've seen 12 y.o.'s with better logic skills. And this embarrassment made the wreck list. Why do I even feign surprise anymore?

The only reason this diary made the rec list is because he/she is a black person that is against Obama.

OMG (1.50 / 2)

zerosum,

Thank you for serving as MyDD's proxy schoolmarm. I know it's a thankless job, but we need someone with ostentatious self-worth and an assumed moral center to keep us in line. I really appreciate all the troll rates I get from you.

Keep up the good work, and know that there are those of us pulling for you in your endeavor.

All best.

Seriously... if you come up with a comparison of Obama to George W Bush I don't know where to begin with you....


Like the nominee, don't like the nominee... Our nominee is still better than John McCain...

Re: It's Barack, not Barrack (2.00 / 4)

the funniest thing is.

all of you people who say Obama has done nothing have no understanding whatsoever what it really takes to run a national campaign. look at Howard Dean. He was the media anointed candidate in 2004, he raised $40 million dollars before Iowa (a record at that point), and he came in third, and never recovered.

almost entirely because John Kerry had a better ground game in Iowa. he had the Democratic "machine" behind him, even if he didn't have the media, and even though Dean had "the perfect storm" of 5,000 volunteers, they didn't know how to get the most out of them.

I've seen inside the Obama campaign, and their organization is brilliant. Hillary had that Democratic machine on her side and she was the media-anointed candidate before the Iowa vote, and Obama's organization beat her. Still, if she had put together a smarter strategy, that machine could have pulled things out for her in the following weeks, but she bet on Super Tuesday and ignored a dozen states, while Obama put people on the ground everywhere.

Seriously, if you can look at how this campaign has unfolded, and still think that Obama has not demonstrated any amount of skill, you need a quiet weekend in the country. You can say that Hillary is the greatest candidate ever, but then turn around and say Obama has done nothing to beat her. You blame it all on "the media", but in case you hadn't noticed, the media loves John McCain more than anyone, so if Hillary couldn't come up with a strategy to beat Obama "in the media", she'd be in an even worse position against McCain.

This election was Hillary's to lose, and she hired the wrong people to run her campaign. You should all be mad at Mark Penn, not Barack Obama.
