if we send the cards packing back to chicago, let’s send obama way with nothing but a loss….

go cards

go mccain

The more I learn about Obama, the more he reminds me of Bush.. this country is in trouble.

Yeah, Obama is speaking at this conference, but couldn’t find the time to speak to the Democratic Leadership Councel, a centrist organization, when he was home in Chicago last week and of course the PD couldn’t be bothered to report the snub.

DLC Could Use Some TLC (from the WSJ)

The Democratic Leadership Council, home of the moderate Democrats who helped incubate Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign, held its annual meeting in Chicago last weekend. Even though it was only a block from Barack Obama’s national campaign headquarters, the presumptive Democratic nominee couldn’t be bothered to drop by. Mr. Obama was in town on Sunday when the DLC was meeting, but his schedule consisted of a morning workout at a gym, followed by a haircut. He then shot some hoops at a basketball court with his family and attended a barbecue at a friend’s house.

It’s an old adage that one should watch what politicians do, not what they say. Mr. Obama may be making all kinds of centrist noises on the campaign trail these days but political analyst Taegan Goddard says it’s pretty clear that “he’s not willing to incur the wrath of liberal Democrats by speaking at the convention of the group described by many as ‘Republican-lite.’”

Go Obama…woohoo!!!

Adam Jahdav,

< Obama’s presence is particularly interesting given the controversy

< Wright, though not an AME minister, is a leader in black theology
< circles.

I don’t get it, what is it that is particularily interesting about Obama addressing the African Methodist Episcopal conference? You forgot tto tell us.

Guess what Centrist? Obama is a liberal, and everyone in the country already knows it, and yet he is still leading in all of the polls. The reality is that after seeing the country trashed under conservative ideology, the political landscape has shifted and liberal is no longer a bad word. Exhibit A: the only argument Craig’s got is that Obama is too much like Bush! ha!

PS This also means that you should officially change your name to A RIGHT WING FRINGER, but we all knew that two years ago.

How does this post make Obama like Bush? Bush would never even dream of attending this event.

“Obama is a liberal, and everyone in the country already knows it, and yet he is still leading in all of the polls.”

Big Freakin deal! Dukakis, Mondale, Gore and Kerry all had leads in the summer leading up to their defeat in November.

“The reality is that after seeing the country trashed under conservative ideology, the political landscape has shifted and liberal is no longer a bad word.”

Ok, then why is Obamessiah running to the center, moving his positions away from the far left positions he has held for so long?

Emaples: Gun Control. Early in his career, Obamessiah supported the complete ban on all semi automatic weapons, now he says he agrees with the Supreme Court.
Abortion. NARAL has their collective panties in a wad because Obamessiah says there should not be a mental health exemption for late term abortion.
FISA. After promising the nutroots he would filibuster it if it contained telecom immunity, he rolled over and now embraces the bill.
Iraq. He’s been all over the place this week, but it would seem now that he is backing off his declaration that he will immediately pull troops out, now he will listen to the Generals.

If he was proud of his liberal positions, no scratch that, if he thought for one damn second he could win with his liberal positions, he would still have them. He knows as well as anyone liberal ideas will lose the election.

Does that make you happy Adam? I know you lefties like to categorize everyone into a box. Interesting post DW. Adam, perhaps then you would be the authority then as to why Obama is making such a right turn and not appeasing his base if the country has shifted so far to the left because of the evil Bush administration. Why doesn’t he just stay to the left? What is he afraid of if that is where the majority of the electorate is? I am sure you have an insiteful answer for me. This should be good.

RIGHT WING FRINGE KOOK,

I think many on both the left and right love labeling people and placing them within the small boxes.

Now to these ones and types, African American minister, Rev. Wright is a illegitimate pastor and the church he lead is a false illegitimate church and Christian religion, so now these ones in their hearts now consider all Black churches questionable and illegitimate, even thought they have no clue as to what a church is or what God’s word says, nor anything about mankind really or the fact that even ministers are imperfect. Go figure.
