My Response to Hillary

[e_dog]

(and Obama's)


I'm too sexy for your bullshit.

[Totenkopf]

Ah yeahh.

S8 poll topic suggestion: HILLARY: shaven, trimmed or the full bushie? Ah say trimmed tight.

[jimboloco]

i'll take her twat over your twittle

[hester_prynne]

Geez, it's a mess!

Hillary is really embarrassing to women of any real independent substance.
The strength of the status quo is hilariously transparent to any moron.
Despite it's failures, stupidity and greed.

Me fears we are reduced too much.

If hillary got it by hook or crook, I would vote for her. I got a feeling she won't get a second term if she wins. I am voting for Obama
but if he looses, he will be good to go in 2012.

You know McCain put his mama in all the photo ops
And bill clinton did to.

Obama wrote a book abaout his daddy
What has he wrote about his mother.
I think he was a fortunate son
I read a NYTIMES piece

about his mother

A Free-Spirited Wanderer Who Set Obama’s Path
Correction Appended


In the capsule version of the Barack Obama story, his mother is simply the white woman from Kansas. The phrase comes coupled alliteratively to its counterpart, the black father from Kenya. On the campaign trail, he has called her his “single mom.” But neither description begins to capture the unconventional life of Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro, the parent who most shaped Mr. Obama.

Kansas was merely a way station in her childhood, wheeling westward in the slipstream of her furniture-salesman father. In Hawaii, she married an African student at age 18. Then she married an Indonesian, moved to Jakarta, became an anthropologist, wrote an 800-page dissertation on peasant blacksmithing in Java, worked for the Ford Foundation, championed women’s work and helped bring microcredit to the world’s poor.

She had high expectations for her children. In Indonesia, she would wake her son at 4 a.m. for correspondence courses in English before school; she brought home recordings of Mahalia Jackson, speeches by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And when Mr. Obama asked to stay in Hawaii for high school rather than return to Asia, she accepted living apart — a decision her daughter says was one of the hardest in Ms. Soetoro’s life.

“She felt that somehow, wandering through uncharted territory, we might stumble upon something that will, in an instant, seem to represent who we are at the core,” said Maya Soetoro-Ng, Mr. Obama’s half-sister. “That was very much her philosophy of life — to not be limited by fear or narrow definitions, to not build walls around ourselves and to do our best to find kinship and beauty in unexpected places.”

Ms. Soetoro, who died of ovarian cancer in 1995, was the parent who raised Mr. Obama, the Illinois senator running for the Democratic presidential nomination. He barely saw his father after the age of 2. Though it is impossible to pinpoint the imprint of a parent on the life of a grown child, people who knew Ms. Soetoro well say they see her influence unmistakably in Mr. Obama.

They were close, her friends and his half-sister say, though they spent much of their lives with oceans or continents between them. He would not be where he is today, he has said, had it not been for her. Yet he has also made some different choices — marrying into a tightly knit African-American family rooted in the South Side of Chicago, becoming a churchgoing Christian, publicly recounting his search for his identity as a black man.

Some of what he has said about his mother seems tinged with a mix of love and regret. He has said his biggest mistake was not being at her bedside when she died. And when The Associated Press asked the candidates about “prized keepsakes” — others mentioned signed baseballs, a pocket watch, a “trophy wife” — Mr. Obama said his was a photograph of the cliffs of the South Shore of Oahu in Hawaii where his mother’s ashes were scattered.

“I think sometimes that had I known she would not survive her illness, I might have written a different book — less a meditation on the absent parent, more a celebration of the one who was the single constant in my life,” he wrote in the preface to his memoir, “Dreams From My Father.” He added, “I know that she was the kindest, most generous spirit I have ever known, and that what is best in me I owe to her.”

In a campaign in which Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, has made liberal use of his globe-trotting 96-year-old mother to answer suspicions that he might be an antique at 71, Mr. Obama, who declined to be interviewed for this article, invokes his mother’s memory sparingly. In one television advertisement, she appears fleetingly — porcelain-skinned, raven-haired and holding her toddler son. “My mother died of cancer at 53,” he says in the ad, which focuses on health care. “In those last painful months, she was more worried about paying her medical bills than getting well.”

‘A Very, Very Big Thinker’

He has described her as a teenage mother, a single mother, a mother who worked, went to school and raised children at the same time. He has credited her with giving him a great education and confidence in his ability to do the right thing. But, in interviews, friends and colleagues of Ms. Soetoro shed light on a side of her that is less well known.

“She was a very, very big thinker,” said Nancy Barry, a former president of Women’s World Banking, an international network of microfinance providers, where Ms. Soetoro worked in New York City in the early 1990s. “I think she was not at all personally ambitious, I think she cared about the core issues, and I think she was not afraid to speak truth to power.”



here is the rest of the story

that is a pretty long quote but you have to login is a subscriber to read the article. It is free but still...

I am not following day to day, my mind is made up finally. I read the washington post and nytimes every day, I watch the Lehrer News Hour on PBS, Listen to ATC in the atfternoons, and moring edition in the morning
I try to catch the diame rheims show and Watch Washington Week with gwen Iffel (don imus's cleaning lady.) I should read more on Common Dreams and Democracy Now I tend to depend on main stream media too much maybe. Judith Miller burned us good, a lot of reporters did, talk about status quo, the elites reporting on the elites.

But that is about all the news I can stand,

I have no idea what your post was about. was there something specific in mind or just a generic rant against hillary to vent your anger.

I am just a man theda I suppose I can't get as angry about women as you can.


I remember someone calling hillary supporters "shoulder pad feminists"


Christz I asked Izzy about Barack's mother and she like to bit my head off.

sounds like I am a news junkie but I go days sometimes with out listening or watching news. Usually when there is a hot breaking story that gets repeated on the hour. My attention span not what it used to be. I get bored pretty quick. I turn off the news and just read the papers, scan the head lines. See if anything is new. And of course I depend on studio eight to bring me the news I can use when I get the eyewitness blues.

Hillary is really embarrassing to women of any real independent substance

i agree that when a woman dislikes another woman
there is a coldness that penetrates
i work with it

them

richardson endorses obama's mama
coffee joe
countdown
democracy duh now

woulda been nice for obama if richardson had swung down to
elpaso right before th texas primary
however,
seein the current morass of nonsence,
it is a character endorsement
and maybe telling hillary
he won't be available for veep

seriously
i think mccain is a bit dottery
uh
way too sexy for him
but then i ain't got th self-image of a soap star
or a sardonic schlepper

still, i have to agree, Hillary is frustrating in her way, which is why I am supporting Obama and am glad that my vote for H Clinton in Florida last january will not count.

I did just read thru a 6 page scroll on Fox News site, mercy, the hatred that is spewed there is unbelieveable.

The fact that Obama said his granma was a "typical white person" is fuel for a lot of hatred. One person wrote that if a white person said somebody was "a typical black person" that would raise rafters of disdain.
so he ain't perfect.

So? to quote the unscrutable Cheney, his distant cousin.

Lawd, lawd, Hillary, you and Geraldine can be running mates.

[hester_prynne]

Look, Hillary is a wussy bitch whose fingers are also fond of the elite button.

Maybe a corrupt government is what the American people want.

One thing for damn sure is i'd rather sit and listen to Rev. Wright and giggle at his melodrama, than sit around listening to some creepy priest who molests children in his spare time..
Indeed!!!!!!!!!

During a campaign stop in Maysville, Kentucky, Senator Hillary Clinton said the race for the nomination is not over.

Sen. Hillary Clinton: “We have a very close contest—the votes, the delegates—and this is nowhere near over. None of us is going to have the number of delegates we’re going to need to get to the nomination, although I understand my opponent and his supporters are going to claim that. The fact is we have to include Michigan and Florida.”

Yah she showed her desperation
I think she also blew her chance at the veep slot

not so Hillarious afterall

I was in summer school,
stayed in Ann Arbor for the summer first half semester
lived at the Nakamura co-op
when Bobby was shot by Sirhan Sirhan

we had a pretty anti-war community there at the co-op
the Tigers won the world series later that fall
and Humphrey got slammed by Nixon

I went to ROTC summer camp in July and August
did my senior year and left town
hoping to leave conflict and controversy behind me
but thanks to Nakamura co-op and the dissidence of Ann Arbor
i took it with me

i see thru Hillarious' desperation
she fucked up and showed her true face

[e_dog]

yer damn right! she blew the veep slot@! nobody can allow her to be the v.p. if she's poltting for assassinayshuns.
