She takes one step forward, but two steps back.  <br><br>Someone had a great analogy over the radio this morning.  You can't light a stick of dynamite, step back and say you're sorry for whatever happens as a consequence.  People are responsible for the consequences of their actions.<br><br>A lot of people tried to talk to the Clintons before this went too far.  Ted Kennedy tried to talk to the Clintons; Clyburne tried to get to talk to them.  <br><br>But they've got tunnel vision when it comes to obtaining power.  That's a blessing and a curse.  It's a blessing when that focus gets used to help others.  But it's a curse when that same power gets used for selfish reasons. <br><br>I remain of the opinion that she HURT the Democratic Party and its chances by extending the primary season well beyond what was necessary.  She could have finished the primaries without trying to sabotage Obama like she did.  In fact, many of those Hillary statements being used by McCain right now were spoken well after she lost a realistic, mathematical chance, to win the nomination.  She could have done a Mike Huckabee and stayed in the race without going negative and writing 6 or 7 campaign ads for McCain. . .  without endorsing McCain at Obama's expense.  <br><br>She did not do that.  The damage has been done, and her speech (as great as it was) will not make up for that.<br><br>She's got to follow her speech with action.  Concrete action.  She needs to campaign like crazy for Obama this Fall.  That means campaigning in places like OH and PA as much as possible.<br><br>And she needs to tell her surrogates to chill out as well.  She sends mixed signals far too often.  She'll say she supports Obama, but then one of her aides, or supporters (super delegates like Rep. Sanchez of CA) say something stupid and divisive that undercuts Obama's campaign.  She might not have control over the PUMAs (though I'm not completely sold that she doesn't), but she should have a lot more control over some of those super delegates and her husband, Bill Clinton . . . Bill Clinton, who just this past week praised John McCain's energy plan.  <br><br>Again.  One step forward and two steps back.<br><br>I appreciate her speech today.

The truth of the matter is that while both Hillary and McCain may be good public servants, both were helped significantly by their spouses.  For McCain it was Cindy's money and her father's connections--as well as the legacy of his father and grandfather that got him through the academy.  For Hillary it was her connections as first lady of Arkansas and the White House. <br><br>On the other hand, for Obama he had to do the leg work himself.  He had to make those connections, he had to get people to believe in him, he had to raise money when everybody was reluctant to give him a second look.  That speaks a lot to me.  At the end of the day, he is a self made man.  He is where he is because of his hard work and his abilities.  Yes, he received help from others along the way, but definitely not to the extent as Hillary or McCain.  So that woman, while emotional by her candidate's loss, is foolish to discount Obama.<br><br>She can claim that Obama doesn't deserve to be where he is because he lacks that experience, but facts are facts.  The fact is McCain went bankrupt last summer and his campaign was on the verge of collapse.  The fact is Hillary is still $25 million in debt.  But Obama, who did not have the connections of either of them when he started this race, has broken all records for fundraising.  The fact is McCain has run for the presidency two times before, and Hillary, has been building her organization for some years.  But it is also a fact Obama is building one of the most impressive political organizations that the Democratic party has ever seen.  These things speak to me.  Obama may not have the supposed qualifications that this lady is looking at, but he has done quite well for himself despite the odds.  He has been able to attract top talent, and do the impossible.  <br><br>Sorry, I am being too wordy here, but it really pisses me off that people keep pushing this theme that Obama needs Hillary; he doesn't.  They are not a good match and instead of Democrats moaning, groaning, and knashing their teeth, I wish these people would grow a pair and either organize to get more people registered and signed up for Obama events, or go and sit down somewhere and STFU!!!!!  <br><br>I'm going to bed.", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2008-08-27_00:31:29", "killed": false, "user_key": "ef781b639c890767ebd1ce99011c3afa", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": null, "votable": true, "date": "1 year ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 7, "is_first_child": true, "email": "", "parent_post_id": 1862110, "depth": 1, "points": 1, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "1861041": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": true, "message": "Schweitzer is on right now on C-span.

I can see the love on the convention floor, it\'s a great feeling after being so let down by politics. Then these FOOLS on CNN start talking trash. I was literally looking at the TV like "Did you all see the same speech I saw?!" I\'m officially done with MSM, I\'ll stick with C-SPAN from now on.</div>\

I thought the analogy was very powerful, but there is something about the examples that HRC uses some time that doesn\'t sit right with me.  <br><br>Like the time she went to a black church in the South and she had the audacity to say that being in the Senate under Republican majority rule was like being on a plantation, "and you know what I mean..."  I wanted to slap her.  Because a) neither she nor anyone in that audience has ever been on a plantation, and b) please do not compare the degradation of slavery with being the minority party in the Senate; that is offensive and small minded.  <br><br>Another apt example is when she was playing up that "disenfranchisement" foolishness toward the end of the primary and comparing it to when Blacks couldn\'t even vote in primaries.  Umm....no.  A State breaking the rules and getting stripped of their delegates is not equivalent to racists party leaders prohibiting Blacks from participating in primaries because they believed they were subhuman.  Absolutely inappropriate.  <br><br>Sorry, there is something not right here.  <br><br>And it would have been kick ass if she mentioned Shirley Chisolm, Fannie Lou Hamer, AND Carol Mosley Braun in her speech.  Even that hate mongering Gerri Feraldo was relevant to this occasion.</div>\

Some of it good, some of it bad.  The good, everyone I know is talking about Obama.  I went to a birthday party for my aunts and uncles, and the dj was talking up Obama.  I\'m sure it I can get them all registered and get them to the polling place they will be voting for Barack.<br><br>Now the bad: I had to have a somewhat lengthy disscussion with my aunt about Obama being "raised a Muslim".  What\'s interesting bout this is that I am AA so is my aunt, and I was sorta shocked that she truly believed it.  She said she read it in "Newsweek".  I tried to school her on the truth, but she older, and she just wouldn\'t let it go, but she still will be voting for him.<br><br>It made me sad, because if our own people believe that Obama was "raised Muslim", then there is no way we will be able to change other "people" mind.  Anyway, it shook me a little. <br><br>P.S. I\'m catching up on the convention coverage, and I\'ve decided to give up on CNN for the duration of the convention coverage, and I\'m barely keeping up with MSNBC.  Michelle Obama was fantastic.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-1862028" class="dsq-comment-message">TruthSeeker,<br><br>I agree.  She takes one step forward, but two steps back.  <br><br>Someone had a great analogy over the radio this morning.  You can\'t light a stick of dynamite, step back and say you\'re sorry for whatever happens as a consequence.  People are responsible for the consequences of their actions.<br><br>A lot of people tried to talk to the Clintons before this went too far.  Ted Kennedy tried to talk to the Clintons; Clyburne tried to get to talk to them.  <br><br>But they\'ve got tunnel vision when it comes to obtaining power.  That\'s a blessing and a curse.  It\'s a blessing when that focus gets used to help others.  But it\'s a curse when that same power gets used for selfish reasons. <br><br>I remain of the opinion that she HURT the Democratic Party and its chances by extending the primary season well beyond what was necessary.  She could have finished the primaries without trying to sabotage Obama like she did.  In fact, many of those Hillary statements being used by McCain right now were spoken well after she lost a realistic, mathematical chance, to win the nomination.  She could have done a Mike Huckabee and stayed in the race without going negative and writing 6 or 7 campaign ads for McCain. . .  without endorsing McCain at Obama\'s expense.  <br><br>She did not do that.  The damage has been done, and her speech (as great as it was) will not make up for that.<br><br>She\'s got to follow her speech with action.  Concrete action.  She needs to campaign like crazy for Obama this Fall.  That means campaigning in places like OH and PA as much as possible.<br><br>And she needs to tell her surrogates to chill out as well.  She sends mixed signals far too often.  She\'ll say she supports Obama, but then one of her aides, or supporters (super delegates like Rep. Sanchez of CA) say something stupid and divisive that undercuts Obama\'s campaign.  She might not have control over the PUMAs (though I\'m not completely sold that she doesn\'t), but she should have a lot more control over some of those super delegates and her husband, Bill Clinton . . . Bill Clinton, who just this past week praised John McCain\'s energy plan.  <br><br>Again.  One step forward and two steps back.<br><br>I appreciate her speech today.  But I\'m not jumping on the bandwagon to say that this makes up for her past transgressions.<br><br>Again. . . I really liked her speech.  She did a very good job tonight.  And I thank her for that.  Furthermore, I\'m pleased as punch if she\'s really on board to make this happen.<br><br>But those McCain ads are still out there.  She helped write them.</div>\

Hilliary actions towards the powerless women he used like toilet paper  told me what she was about. <br><br>Then because I wanted to hear what Hilliary had to say I have not listened to anything so I debated "D" all day. Then she spoke and I couldn\'t believe what she was saying. It was so positive.

Barack is not.<br><br>I just have to have faith that Barack is going to bring this ship back around. He is savvy as hell. Just like TRW wrote, Obama is self-made, and he\'s got their numbers. He did not get here on his daddy\'s or spouse\'s coattails. He got here on his own. He can do it. YES HE CAN!</div>\

When you\'re in "The Inner Circle" even if you make a crude joke about my daughter,  you\'re still one of us.<br><br>Is Barack trying to be accepted in the inner circle, or is he trying to create his own circle?   They will NEVER accept him!  No matter how polite, or clean he is, or respectful he is to them!!  They don\'t understand decency.  They understand POWER!<br><br>I\'m not panicked.<br><br>I\'m angry.<br><br>I am furious with Barack Obama.  I am fed up with the goody-two-shoes, scouts honour bullshit.   <br><br>Barack better put on his goddamned ninja suit and start slashing some ankles under the table!<br><br>How many times is he going to be made a fool of before he plays hardball?<br><br>He shows up at that church all earnest \'n all, ready to tell his story.   He walked right into a trap, where Rick Warren and McCain set him up with a phony coin toss that supposedly took place without witness.   Warren and McCain were winking and nodding to each other while Barack sat there looking like a chump!    Why couldn\'t he outsmart them?<br><br>He shows up at the ABC debate and walks right into a trap with Hillary, Stephanopoulus and Gibson where the mission was to take him down.  They all pile on him about a flag pin, and he doesn\'t turn it around on them that none of them were wearing pins!!   Why does he keep thinking these people will give him a fair shake?<br><br>He comes back from a successful trip abroad,  he walks right into a sucker punch where McCain accuses him of playing the race card.   No one in his campaign points out that McCain actually did put his face on currency, and put it in an ad to mock him....which is what Barack was referring to on the stump.<br><br>WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON???!!<br><br>Do they know something we don\'t?  Do they know they\'ve already won by a landslide and they\'re just letting it all hang out \'till November?<br><br>Yeah, I know some people will say it doesn\'t matter \'cause he\'ll win anyway.  But what benefit is it if everybody thinks you\'re a patsy? <br><br>Well, the last thing I\'m watching is the INVESCO  speech.  If he doesn\'t kick some ass.  If he repudiates and rejects another person for telling the truth.  If he comes with some mealy mouthed bullshit about how people are tired of the same old politics and forget that people are also VERY ANGRY.  If he doesn\'t tap into that righteous outrage.  If he doesn\'t walk out there with his shoulders square and his chest out like he owns that shit.   Then I don\'t want to hear another thing about "skinny, but tough".  I\'m tuned out for the rest of the season.<br><br>IT\'S TIME TO ACT LIKE YOU OWN IT, BARACK!!!!!!   IT DOES MATTER!!!!</div>\

The truth of the matter is that while both Hillary and McCain may be good public servants, both were helped significantly by their spouses.  For McCain it was Cindy\'s money and her father\'s connections--as well as the legacy of his father and grandfather that got him through the academy.  For Hillary it was her connections as first lady of Arkansas and the White House. <br><br>On the other hand, for Obama he had to do the leg work himself.  He had to make those connections, he had to get people to believe in him, he had to raise money when everybody was reluctant to give him a second look.  That speaks a lot to me.  At the end of the day, he is a self made man.  He is where he is because of his hard work and his abilities.  Yes, he received help from others along the way, but definitely not to the extent as Hillary or McCain.  So that woman, while emotional by her candidate\'s loss, is foolish to discount Obama.<br><br>She can claim that Obama doesn\'t deserve to be where he is because he lacks that experience, but facts are facts.  The fact is McCain went bankrupt last summer and his campaign was on the verge of collapse.  The fact is Hillary is still $25 million in debt.  But Obama, who did not have the connections of either of them when he started this race, has broken all records for fundraising.  The fact is McCain has run for the presidency two times before, and Hillary, has been building her organization for some years.  But it is also a fact Obama is building one of the most impressive political organizations that the Democratic party has ever seen.  These things speak to me.  Obama may not have the supposed qualifications that this lady is looking at, but he has done quite well for himself despite the odds.  He has been able to attract top talent, and do the impossible.  <br><br>Sorry, I am being too wordy here, but it really pisses me off that people keep pushing this theme that Obama needs Hillary; he doesn\'t.  They are not a good match and instead of Democrats moaning, groaning, and knashing their teeth, I wish these people would grow a pair and either organize to get more people registered and signed up for Obama events, or go and sit down somewhere and STFU!!!!!  <br><br>I\'m going to bed.</div>\

The Black Snob and Rikyrah had comment on how it was so sad and telling Michelle had to tell the world how normal Black Families are. You\'re right  its sad but for the worng reasons. <br><br>What is really sad is how pathetic the marriages of white politicians and political punidts are. Newt Gringrich dumps his wife while she is treated for cancer, John Edwards runs to be a Presidential candidate while screwing his mistress that his wife knows about as she suffers through cancer, Hilliary Clinton co-dependency lets her trash and sue poor working white women her husband is raping  and pimp her daughter as a marketing tool of normalacy, Eloit Spitzer getting his freak by on while he is an AG investigating money laundering and getting caught because he attempted to launder the money he is paying the escort service, Rush Limbaugh\'s four marriages and John McCain\'s biggest moral failing dumping his poor disfigured wife(have these women never heard of Lorene Bobbitt.). This is normalty. If you can\'t tell the difference than someone save us all black and white.</div>\

I am sick to death of these people. <br><br>I was SOOO happy when Barack announced that Biden was on his ticket, because it seemed as if he was in this fight all by himself. Alone. Against McCain. Against the media. Against the Clintons. Everyone jumped onto the narrative that he had to <i>SHOW</i> us who he was, <i>PROVE</i> that he was a good American, <i>PROVE</i> that he, with his black ass, deserved to be president, when everyone else was assumed to deserve it a priori. He needed someone to be in his corner to help him fight. <br><br>Now I see that with Biden or without, he really is alone. He\'s all by himself. Clinton gave more support, more warm words for Biden, than she did for Barack, as if to say, "Hey America, here is a nice paternal figure for that little boy Barack. Support him, because we <i>really</i> think Barack isn\'t ready. Maybe he\'ll save us from this calamitous path we\'ve chosen."<br><br>You are right, Truthseeker. It is absolutely all on Barack\'s shoulders. He has to turn it out on Thursday. I believe that he\'s got the strength, courage, and intelligence to pull this out. I will be praying for him.</div>\

What I appreciate most about him is that he is determined to get Barck elected. If the spotlight is on the Clintons, he will use that spotlight to point out flaws.<br><br>He is for Barack all the way. I hope if Obama decides to have Richardson in his Cabinet, that Richardson will join the team. Barack has so few people in his corner, he needs all the support he can get.</div>\

I don\'t think having this mea culpa on stage by taking back her crazyness during the primaries matter at this point because its not going to stop the Rethugs from using her words (or Joe Biden\'s for that matter). I think her speech was making the case for a democratic future which is far more important than any single person (even Obama), and the imporant part where she did really well was to present Sen Obama as the vessel for that future. I think that is far more effective than saying "well I was wrong as hell" "and I take it all back"; that may be satifying in the short term, but not in the long run. I think for some people here will never like her/forgive short of a sponteneous combustion that spells out Obama rocks, she did what she had to do tonight and them some, time for her now to campaign like crazy (the good kind) for him.</div>\
