The Article: Obama Warns GOP ‘Lay Off My Wife’ (Via ABCNEWS)
The Republicans seem to have come to the same conclusion and a GOP Internet campaign in Tennessee has an ad featuring Michelle Obama’s comments during the long Democratic campaign that "for the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country."
Michelle Obama was asked about the ad on "GMA," but her husband said, "Let me just interject on this."
"The GOP, should I be the nominee, I think can say whatever they want to say about me, my track record," Obama said. "I’ve been in public life for 20 years. I expect them to pore through everything that I’ve said, every utterance, every statement. And to paint it in the most undesirable light possible. That’s what they do."
"But I do want to say this to the GOP. If they think that they’re going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful. Because that I find unacceptable," he said.
Obama praised his wife’s patriotism and said that for Republicans "to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her I think is just low class … and especially for people who purport to be promoters of family values, who claim that they are protectors of the values and ideals and the decency of the American people to start attacking my wife in a political campaign I think is detestable."
Here’s a wake up call for you, Barry.

That is, I must say, absolutely amazing.
Via MSNBC:
Per the Obama campaign, 75,000 people (60,000 in the gates and 15,000 outside of them) turned out in Portland to hear Obama speak there this afternoon — making it the largest Obama crowd to date.
Duane Bray, the battalion chief with Portland Fire and Rescue, validated that crowd estimate, the campaign says.
*** UPDATE *** Here’s the dispatch from NBC/NJ’s Athena Jones… Some 75,000 people flocked to Portland’s waterfront Sunday to watch Barack Obama speak, making it the biggest rally the campaign has held to date. Thousands stood on the lawn, dozens watched from boats and from the bridge stretching across the Willamette River. A few kayakers held their paddles and tried to keep their kayaks straight as they watched the candidate, who stood on a makeshift platform.
That’s amazing, and this is just the primary. Unbelievable. Here’s some pics:


There’s more pictures over at Flickr. Amazing stuff.
There’s just no way that John McCain can bring that sort of a crowd… It just cannot happen. I must admit, as much as I disagree with some, but not all, of his politics, I am quite impressed with his ability to draw a crowd.
I don’t think that I’ve seen anything like that, on the Conservative side since Ronald Reagan. I believe that people just want change, and they see Barack Obama as the last great hope for America. I just hope he can deliver.
If this is any indication of what the General election is going to be like, I suspect there’s going to be a handy defeat, and it is not going to be the Democrats.
Update: Crunchy Con says it’s the GOP’s fault.

and……
This above is what every political pundit worried about, when it was clear that the race was down to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. However, at the time, they, being he pundits, thought that the race would be over, before anything like this could manifest itself.
Of course, this is the type of identity politics that Democrat Party is infamous for. Now that Hillary has basically lost, the feminist crowd is going to attempt paint Obama as some sort of sexist.
Ah, the joys of liberalism….

The Article: Moore: `Fahrenheit 9/11′ follow-up is not a sequel (Via Yahoo! News) (Via The New Editor – Seen at HotAir.com)
"It would be easier and safer to make a sequel, if that’s all it was, but this isn’t about Bush. We all know this. Regardless of who the president is come November, we have a big mess, a big, big mess to be cleaned up, and I don’t know whether it can be cleaned up," Moore said. "The toxicity of the spill may be so great that there’s nothing we can do about it. If that’s the case, where are we now as America and as Americans?"
I blogged about this fat, idiotic, liberal, blowhard before. I will be the first to admit, even back when I first came on the Blogging scene. I did not like Michael Moore, he is, as far as I am concerned, the male version of Ariana Huffington. He is nothing more than an opportunist, he see’s the liberal message as a simple way to make money. The only movie that he made, that he really honestly cared about, was "Roger and Me". That is because his father had gotten laid off from G.M. Truthfully, Michael’s dad got quite the handsome severance package from G.M. (Thanks to the U.A.W.) and moved out of Michigan. So, I really do not know what his problem was. For what it is worth, Roger Simon was the best thing that ever happened to G.M, if he had not come in and made the cuts that he did, General Motors would have went bankrupt. The problem was he did not go far enough and now G.M. is back in the same spot again, although, not quite as bad.
Now as to what Michael Moore said up there in the quote, the reason why Michael Moore has basically decided that "Hope Change" isn’t possible, because he was not able to realize his final goal. That is to turn America’s Healthcare system into a totally socialized healthcare plan. Even Hillary Clinton told the guy that he simply did not know what he was talking about. So, it is pretty obvious that Michael Moore is basically taking his Socialist, Liberal, ball and going home.
Let’s just hope he stays there.
This story here has been on the Meme reader for about a day now. I mean, what the hell?
Some idiot Democrat senator has decided that because John McCain comes from a linage of Military men, that he is "scary".
Now, I’m not a big fan of the Politics that got us into this quagmire in Iraq, and the money it is costing this Nation, but you know, I get a little ticked, when I hear some sissy liberal, spouting off at the pie hole like this.
John McCain might not be the best idea for the White House, because he’s so stinking close to Bush, with his Neo-Conservatism and all, and because of his idiotic Liberal stance on Illegal Immigration. But gosh darn it, he’s a heck of a lot more qualified, I feel, to be President, than that Marxist Negroid or that closet Lesbian that are running for President. (Yes, I did say that, and I’m damn proud of it!
)
I mean, really, if this is the best that the Democrat Party can throw at John McCain, they’re going to lose and lose hard.
As expected, the right is highly pissed and rightly so, and the Left is playing the echo chamber role. It’s quite the read, go check it out.
Idiot Liberals, what will they think of next? ![]()
Well, besides running for President.
Joking about shooting at a President, a President getting shot at, and anything else of that sort, is not funny, at all, end of story, if one does it, in a public setting, such as this, they should be shunned. I mean, writing it on a blog is one thing, but saying it, at a public speech, is very stupid, joking or not, it was bad taste.
Not to mention, especially seeing how Obama is under extremely high secret service protection, because of threats made by idiots, who ought to be put under the jail and never see the light of day, ever again.
According to Rachel Maddow, who is subbing for Keith Olbermann tonight, Huckabee has issued a statement apologizing. Smart move, bubba, But don’t do stupid stuff like that. It only makes you look like a total idiot.

Transcript via MMFA:
From the May 13 edition of MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: Andrea, this whole question — Hillary Clinton goes down there and rolls up the score, as she ought to, because it’s a state she can do well in. The Barack Obama dissing of that state, not even going in there to fight the primary, is that going to hurt him in the general if he’s the nominee?
MITCHELL: Well, that’s what Joe Manchin, the governor, was concerned about — that people here need to size him up. He said, you know, these are hard working people, but they have a Ph.D. in life and in human nature, and they want to see you. They want to have, you know, dinner with you. They want to break bread with you.
MATTHEWS: Yeah.
MITCHELL: They want to get to know what motivates you.
MATTHEWS: Yeah.
MITCHELL: And that’s what he wants to see.
MATTHEWS: I agree. Well, I think he’s right. I think, being an African-American, it’s all the more important to get in there and show who you are, introduce yourself as a person, not as an identity group —
FINEMAN: Right. Right.
MATTHEWS: — but as a human being, and connect with people. I think that’s still going to be his challenge. Playing pool, not a bad start, but it’s not what most people play. People with money play pool these days.
FINEMAN: Oh.
MATTHEWS: Anyway, thank you. The guys who have pool rooms in their house in the basement. You know what those tables cost? Anyway, Howard Fineman, thank you, Andrea Mitchell. Up next, it’s the Hardball sideshow.
Smart, Real smart Matthews, show ’em how big of an idiot you really are.
Actually the truth about pool is:
According to a Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association 2007 study posted on the Billiards Congress of America website, "There are 46,990,000 Billiards participants in the U.S." — defined as people who play billiards at least once a year — and "60% of all Billiards participants have a household income of under $75,000 per year." Additionally, 54 percent of billiards participants also participated in bowling, and "30% of all Billiards participants have a college degree or higher."
So, Matthews, not only are you offensive, But you’re an idiot who can’t get his facts straight.
I’ll just say it, why the hell is this idiot even on the air? I mean, what the hell has he even done? He worked for peace core, He was a speech writer for Carter, and that was it, what else has this jack ass done? Nothing! Pat Buchanan has more political credits than this moronic tool has ever had.
I wish MSNBC would do the American people a favor and retire this feckless former drunk off the air, once and for all. The American people would be better off, MSNBC would be better off and world in general would be such a sweeter, nice place to exist.
It’s about stinking time! ![]()
This was, according to the experts, a very shrewd political move on Obama’s part. I tend to agree.
This should cause a surge of super delegates as well.
Responding to this bunch of silly nonsense.
Peggy Agar is, for all indents and purposes an ratings seeking, attention whore.
Peggy Agar was reporter that was involved in the reporting of former Detroit reporter Suzanne Pagella, as was her station, WXYZ-TV here in Detroit. Suzanne Pegella ended up committing suicide after being publicly humiliated by WXYZ-TV.
In short, this is nothing more than a media setup and she should be fired for it.
Yes, the term is offensive, but this was done purposely.
Update: Obama Apologizes:
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama has apologized to WXYZ reporter Peggy Agar for calling her "sweetie" during a campaign stop Wednesday in Sterling Heights.
Obama apologized in a voicemail he left on Agar’s cell phone at 3:16 p.m:
"Hi Peggy. This is Barack Obama. I’m calling to apologize on two fronts. One was you didn’t get your question answered and I apologize. I thought that we had set up interviews with all the local stations. I guess we got it with your station but you weren’t the reporter that got the interview. And so, I broke my word. I apologize for that and I will make up for it.
"Second apology is for using the word ‘sweetie.’ That’s a bad habit of mine. I do it sometimes with all kinds of people. I mean no disrespect and so I am duly chastened on that front. Feel free to call me back. I expect that my press team will be happy to try to make it up to you whenever we are in Detroit next."
Good on him for that, it should defuse this. Hopefully.
Here’s an example:
IT’S NOT CLOSE. YOU FREAKING LOST THE NOMINATION, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?
Good God. What is wrong with her? The Clintons and their campaign staff don’t give a damn that they are now hurting our electoral chances in the fall against McCain and against the Republicans in Congress. Their campaign isn’t happening in some vacuum, and they know it. Our candidates can’t fundraise because of her. Obama can’t focus on McCain because of her. Obama is wasting money on HER, rather than spending it on McCain, because of her. EMILY’s List, and AFSCME, and the American Federation of Teachers and others are wasting their members’ money on her now-failed race – money that they could be spending, should be spending, on other real races, races that haven’t already lost. She can’t win, the math says she lost the nomination, but she doesn’t give a damn. She’s going to stay in the race like some spoiled hateful egotistical brat.
Why is the media even covering her? The only stories that should be written about Hillary Clinton is how much damage she’s causing our party. How she’s hurting fundraising at the DNC – they even admitted it, they’re not raising the money they need to fight John McCain because of this woman. Why don’t you write some stories about how she is hurting our candidates who can’t fundraise because of her? How she has forced EMILY’s List and AFSCME and the AFT to waste their money because of her. How she has caused a civil war in the Netroots. Five months ago we all felt that we had 3 great candidates. Now, far too many of us loathe Hillary Clinton, and she has done her racist best to ensure that her supporters can’t stand Barack Obama either.
The Clintons don’t give a damn about our party. Their party, their church, is themselves. To hell with everyone else. I actually liked Hillary up until a few months ago. Other bloggers used to tell me that Joe and I were too nice to Hillary. People just assumed that we were endorsing her. Now I actually loathe her. She makes me yell at the TV like she’s George Bush, and no one other than George Bush makes me yell at the TV – until now. I actually can’t stand her or her husband any more. I defended her. I defended her husband. And now I’m actually wondering if the Republicans weren’t right about them. That’s how bad she has damaged her reputation. People who actually liked you, who actually helped you, who actually defended you, LOATHE you now. Call me a Clinton-hater all you like, but people like me were the ones who had your back. And we never will again.
Let me close with what Mike Huckabee just said on MSNBC:
"The happiest person in America tonight is John McCain."
Wow!
I do believe the knives are out and the poop stinky is about to hit the fan. This ought to be interesting to watch. I mean, don’t get me wrong, he does have a point. But man, I never thought I’d see that out of a Liberal Blogger.
I guess he is just expressing what many Bloggers are feeling. We’re just tired of it. I know I am. Let’s move on to the general, why drag it out? It’s silly.
Others: The Moderate Voice, Shakesville, The Campaign Spot, The Strata-Sphere and NO QUARTER
What the Liberal media won’t tell you is, she was expected to do this anyhow… So, why even report it?
Just gives the old attention whore more publicity.
She still is not going to clinch the nomination, she doesn’t have the delegates.
Stupid is as stupid does, I guess.
In case any of you don’t remember, Liberal filmmaker and general mouth piece of the Communist, Socialist, Liberal movement in America, produced a film called "Fahrenheit 9/11" in which he attempted to lay the blame for the 9/11 terrorist attacks at the feet of President George W. Bush.
He also made a film called "Sicko", No, it wasn’t his autobiography. However, it was basically a Liberal Propaganda film advocating the idea of socialized medicine in this country. Another Communist doctrine and practice. It is to be noted, this is one of B. Hessian Obama’s friends.
Birds of a feather, flock together, I always say…
It’s about Vietnam. A sore spot with some, over 40. Like my uncle.
All silliness Aside. This most likely will be the extent of my reporting of the “Primary”, It should be over and the dumb woman won’t quit. It’s gone way past the “WTF?!?!” stage. So, there you go. You’re daily link of Clinton stupidity.

From the May 12 edition of ABC Radio Networks’ Imus in the Morning:
DIETL: Well, I got real a problem with the president, the former president. You know, this weekend, I go to gas up my car, my M6, the BMW. Uses a lot of gas, we all agree with that. It’s 510 horsepower.
IMUS: Sure.
DIETL: Four dollars and fifty cents for the high test now. Now, I did a little investigation through the whole — you know, through the whole weekend there to find out really where it lies. And I got a problem with President Bush the father, my friend. I got a problem with this guy sitting across from me, Bill Clinton, and Fredo over here. We all — Fredo, the president, the current, sitting president, with those stupid faces that he makes. There was tornadoes in the Midwest, and he’s making a press conference with his wife sitting there. He’s making these stupid —
IMUS: This is your guy.
DIETL: He’s — nobody’s my guy.
IMUS: No, he was your guy —
DIETL: Nobody’s my guy.
IMUS: No, no. He was your guy when he ran.
DIETL: Here’s what I call out to the Senate majority —
IMUS: I did not vote for him. You did.
DIETL: Senate majority —
IMUS: Did you vote for him? Did you vote for him?
DIETL: Yes. Yes, I did.
IMUS: OK.
DIETL: People make mistakes.
IMUS: Well, yeah. You made a big mistake. You voted for him twice.
DIETL: Well, I made a few big mistakes when I didn’t invest my money into oil and gold.
IMUS: True.
DIETL: OK. But my point is, there should be a congressional investigation. One, into all these former presidents. What kind of money is being influxitated [sic] into their libaries [sic]? I’m talking about this guy sitting across from me, Bill Clinton. They have hundreds of millions of dollars that were pumped in there from these Aba Daba Doos over there in the Middle East, controlling the oil. Right now in the Middle East, you’ve got Saudi Arabia, who’s got their finger. Why doesn’t Fredo get on his Air Force One, fly over to Riyadh, get those little hamel [sic] humpers over there, sit ’em down, and say, "Look, we got our F-16s –"
IMUS: It’s, uh, "camel humpers."
DIETL: "We got our F-16s guarding you against Iran. We saved you from Saddam Hussein. We’re going to move all our troops out of here and leave you to defend your own country." ‘Cause you know what? They couldn’t do it. ‘Cause all they do is pick their nose and eat their boogies, and that’s the end of it. That’s all they do.
BERNARD McGUIRK (executive producer): Hey, oh.
DIETL: I’ve been there.
IMUS: Hey, calm down here a minute. We’re trying to have breakfast.
DIETL: All right. ‘Cause this aggravates me. We protect Saudi Arabia.
IMUS: [unintelligible] to be eating your boogers. [unintelligible]
DIETL: Saudi Arabia controls the oil flow.
IMUS: That is disgusting.
DIETL: And right now, people are starving.
IMUS: Why are you hollering?
DIETL: Families can’t put their kids into their SUVs and take them to school because the gas is so expensive.
IMUS: Here’s what’s happening now. People’s houses are being foreclosed on.
DIETL: Right.
IMUS: So they put their furniture in storage. Then they can’t pay the storage bill, so they’re losing that.
DIETL: Right. Now, America that listens to you, Don, and everyone’s ears are out there today. I want people to realize and understand, these former presidents and the current president now have a relationship with Saudi Arabia that they should go over there to — President Bush, my friend there, the cowboy, should hop on his plane and go over there, sit down with the ministers and say, "Here’s the way it’s going to be. We’re pulling out all our men over there protecting you."
You go now — you go to the next stop, Dubai. Do you know what’s going on in Dubai now? Twenty-five percent of the cranes in the world are in Dubai. You got Philippine workers dying two a day, construction workers are dying two a day. They can’t put up a building fast enough. They got three buildings programmed that’ll be double the size of the former World Trade Center. They’re building islands. They’re building man-made islands.
You know what is there? I’ll tell you what’s there. A bunch of hookers from Russia and all over there.
IMUS: Yeah, well —
DIETL: It’s a playground for —
IMUS: I wouldn’t bring that up if I were you.
DIETL: It’s a playground for all these people who are pumping all the oil out of the ground, making all this money. Our Americans dying defending them over in Iraq, and they stand around there [imitates ululation]. They go running around, hopping on their private planes, hopping on their camels.
The Congress should be getting involved with this. Where is the senators and where is the congressmen to step up and step on Saudi Arabia and stop with my fuel pump? ‘Cause I got people that can’t drive their cars.
And I ran for Congress back in ’86. I wish I would’ve won. ‘Cause I would be there in Congress slapping people around, saying, "How much money? You want to take a trip over to Saudi Arabia?"
IMUS: You would’ve made — you’d have made Vito — what’s that guy’s name, Bernie?
DIETL: I like Vito Fossella.
McGUIRK: Fossella.
IMUS: You would’ve made Vito Fossella look like a Boy Scout.
DIETL: Guy made a little mistake. Guy made a little mistake. We all make little mistakes in our lives.
The "Boogies" joke aside, I hate to break it to David Brock and the rest of the crew over at Media Matters for America, but, this is what the majority of America is thinking right about now. I, for one, cannot afford to drive my car, much anywhere at all, either.
I am fully aware that the Arab slam was offensive, but Christ Almighty man, the guy is right. I think he should be applauded for telling the damn truth, if anything at all.
….and they say them southern hillbillies are dumb… Ha!
The Article: W Virginia keeps distance from Obama (Via FT.com)
Like most people in Mingo County, West Virginia, Leonard Simpson is a lifelong Democrat. But given a choice between Barack Obama and John McCain in November, the 67-year-old retired coalminer would vote Republican.
“I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife’s an atheist,” said Mr Simpson, drawing on a cigarette outside the fire station in Williamson, a coal mining town of 3,400 people surrounded by lush wooded hillsides.
Okay before anyone hammers me in the comments section. I know he’s not a Muslim. We’ve established that fact. But he is a Marxist. At least his Pastor is. I would suspect that if B. Hussein Obama spent as many years as he did in that Church in Chicago, he most likely subscribes to the thought process possessed by his Pastor.
You know, I’ll just say it. I tend to think that, at this point, Obama could come out and say that he is a closet Homosexual, and people would still elect the guy.
All kidding aside, I believe people just want change, and want rid of George W. Bush so bad, that they don’t care WHAT or WHO goes in there. Except maybe for McCain, because he’s of the same party.
Seriously, at this point, people just want this whole damn election over with. (like me!)
I shall resist the temptation of calling him a whiny Liberal. He does make a valid point, that CNN is one of the most Liberal biased cable television networks out there. I ought to know, I used to watch CNN with Religious devotion, from day we moved to Lincoln Park from Detroit. I never was much of a Fox News watcher, I do know the difference between Political and Religious/Zionist Propaganda and legit news and political coverage.
As to the bias against Hillary Clinton, I have no idea, I do not watch that network any longer. I stopped watching after CNN ran a special called “What is a Christian?” Which I felt was nothing more than a veiled slap in the face towards Christianity. I mean, they’ve never, ever ran a special called, “What is a Muslim?” or “What is a Jew?” or anything of that sort. Christians in this piece were painted is Religion zealots and psychotic crazy people.
I personally believe that Anderson Hays Cooper Vanderbilt should stick to making blue jeans with his mommy and quit trying to be a legit journalist. Because quite frankly, I find his work vomit provoking and along the lines of the National Enquirer.
I have written this before, to no response or real drama, I often wonder, if Anderson would have jumped, instead of Carter, would the world be a better place? I really wonder.

As Much as I hate posting this here:
You know, I’m quite known for telling it like it is. I am not going to change my style now.
Chelsea Clinton sounds like a stuck up, snobby, bitch in this video, there’s no emotion in her voice, whatsoever. She’s has that, “*Sigh*, do I have to record this sappy mommy video??” attitude in her voice, there’s no love, there’s no real concern, she’s being used big time, and she knows it.
Chelsea Clinton is a stuck up, snobbish, New York Elitist, who’s honestly quite disinterested in the whole political scene and it shows, Hillary needs to stop using her, or she is going to heavily damage the relationship between her and her daughter.
Of course, we are talking about the Clinton family, who knows no limits, when it comes to getting what they want. Just ask Vince Foster, whom they murdered and quite successfully covered the murder up. Can you see why I’m not voting Democrat, ever again? I just wonder, how long it will be, before Hillary orders Obama’s Assassination? It is to very much wonder.
