Obama:the hypocrit with double standards.Why Obama supporters should feel buyer's remorse

If you have been watching the news lately you may have seen all of Obama's surrogates making personal attacks on Hillary's character while Obama continues to speak against the divisive politics that have come out against him. Come on Obama, don't be hypocritical, if you detest the negative rhetoric then your advisers shouldn't be spewing it on almost a daily basis. For someone who tries to campaign on unifying our great nation he certainly seems to be accomplishing the exact opposite, a polarization of his own party. (Not even to mention the polarization that will occur in the general election when the Republicans use Reverend Wright's statements in a rigorous, and most likely effective, advertising blitz against Obama.)

SO MUCH FOR HIS MESSAGE OF HOPE and CHANGE. Where is the change from traditional politics Obama? It seems you are playing the same game as most every politician before you; making promises in public that won't translate into action when you get into office. The public first became aware of this when his advisers spoke with foreign diplomats in Canada and Britain that portrayed his view on Iraq and NAFTA in a different light then he was espousing on the campaign trail.But the most disturbing showing of his hidden lies came with the emergence of Reverend Wright's statements. At first he claimed he had never heard any of the statements but during his "epic race speech" he admitted to hearing "some" of the statements and denounced them. So he is trapped in yet another lie while the waves of controversy following Rev. Wright continue to slowly crush his chances of winning many demographics throughout the country.

Hopefully the superdelegates can come to their senses and realize that Hillary is the best option because of her improved showing in exit polls in almost every race/age group. Obama used to have strong showing amongst young voters, white men and his black following but has recently lost a lot of ground with young voters and white men. I don't see this as a coincidence. As a prior Obama supporter my support stayed steady until the Rev Wright statements surfaced and racial/religious tensions arose. I was personally displeased that Obama wouldn't denounce his pastor and I think I can speak for many people when I say he lost support because of this. From a logical perspective I think that most white churchgoers across the nation question why Obama would go to that church for 20 years hearing Wright's statements on a regular basis and never leave or confront the man on this issue.

In addition to the divisions Obama has created through his own lies I think perhaps the worst indiscretion in his campaign has been the problem of seating Florida and Michigan. In my mind, unity means the entirety of something. So, if Obama really wants to unify our country why would he want to alienate voters from Michigan and Florida so they are poised to vote against the democrats if he is the nominee. If he was really concerned about unity he would allow the majority of citizens in these two states to be heard through a revote regardless of the small amount of people who might be left out through small legal complications the Obama camp can find. If he was more concerned about unifying this country instead of just winning the nomination he wouldn't be worried about having revotes in these two states. If anybody should drop out of this race it should be Obama. If we are talking about who will lose the general election it will surely be Obama. I can tell you now that democrats have nothing to worry about in getting young people to vote come November even if Obama is off the ticket. I think there is more than enough hatred for the failed policy of the Bush administration that either democrat would easily fire up the passionate hatred for Bush and a third "Bush" term. Under the same logic I would also venture to say that democrats won't loose many black votes to McCain if/when Clinton rightfully gets the nomination.

Hey I for one can't even remember whether bought gas a couple of days ago or three days ago. all I know it is going fast. I can't remember if my daughter called me or I called her.
what we had for Thanks Giving last year? You mean aside from the turkey and the lumpy mash popatoes? Not a clue. In 96?
Was there a year 96?
Even if I tried so hard to remember what happened who came and what we ate. I am sure someone will correct a thing or two or three or four. It happens to all of us.
But we had to hold others to perfection 24/7
It is not like She was in Bosnia for 20 years.
yes should have checked reference before she spoke. But she didn't does that warren putting her character in question?
Just the fact that she took herself Bosnia and put herself in danger speaks volume. What was left of the details from 1996 are the personal trauma that would affect each one of us differently. How can wequestion her feelings we were not there.
Nobody is making an issue about this and about how our minds actually work. Aside from that she should have checked her notes I find her character solid. They critisize herof being like a robot. Now she prove to them she is not. Now they want her to be one again?

the guy is a sly and people should know this by now. He just can help himself. He lies. He lies He lies
Yeah, and why not throwing a little white lie too. I don't know. Was his grand-mother blind? Or did she hate him. But he said she love him more than anything in the word. was she closet racist perhaps?. It sounds to me that this is another white lie to bolster his argument (you can say anything you want about a dead person) if not someoneshould ask her. anything to make sure he is addressing every issue that is sick with America and he would be the savior we were all waiting for.
Sounds more like an informercial to me. He made sure he kept the simple minded voters especially the bible over doers nailed to the floor (TV)by bringing past historical events. A student's History 101 like speech at a graduation commencement. Now I never heard him that thorough about today's issues.
Yeah there are blacks that are poor and so am I. and there are many who are well to too. Some are ones of richest in the world. there are famous ones we all love. judges, Senators CEO etc.
Why is he insisting on taking us back 100 years. Did he give the signal of the OJ riot in his speech by any chance? He had the opportunity to say it was the race card that got that murderer free. Was it intentional ?
