Jack and Jill Politics: HHH Donald Payne Switches to Obama

  • DWS · 1 year ago
    He represents my district. With all the Obama signs around it is hard to imagine it took him this long to "see the light."

    I'll see that bet and raise ya.


    I'm betting on Chief Mammy Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, and only cause there's starting to be rumblings about fielding a challenger to her seat because she didn't go for Obama in the first place, and especially after showing her arse at the Negro Super Bowl back in February for Missy Hillary.



    If not her, then Gentleman Jim Clyburn, because he's done everything to get the Clintons to dial it back notches and they blew him off.

    So now the black superdelegates are doing what you wanted them to do, and you're critizing their motives?


    Who wins with the Obamaists?

    Look for Maxine Waters soon. A bunch of unnamed Cali Supers have already said they'll probably be switching soon.

    You can also add Rangel, Sheila Jackson Lee to that list. Dont hold your breath on Lee and Tubbs as they have prominent positions in her camp.

    I agree about Tubbs-Jones not coming around because she has a prominent role in the Clinton camp. But, even if she did, it shouldn't matter with her. She needs to have a primary challenger next time she's up for election, no matter what she does...even if she switches to Obama. It's too late for her to come around. It was too late a while ago, because unlike some other black elected officials who support Clinton, she was and is a willing participant in Clinton's racist strategy. She's actually worked hard to advance it. At this point, there shouldn't be ANYTHING she can do to avoid a primary challenger. She need to go. Period.

    Tubbs-Jones is on MSNBC Defending the "hard working Americans, white Americans" statement.


    Andrea mitchell said alot of people are saying its playing the race-card.



    Stephanie says Clinton didn't say it the way Andrea said it and the way the media is reporting it. (Unf***ing believable- does she know that we are hearing the audio?) she Ssid those aren't Hillary words.



    She said that the facts are true about the number of whites supporting Clinton.



    She said that there are blacks who still support Hillard



    Andrea again, isn't this making the appeal to people based on race. Listen super he cant win the white vote still sayinig that is not what she said it is not race playing



    She is saying Obama did the same thing when he said "let's make history and that he was talking to AAs.



    This ignorant bitch is unbelievable.



    Told her the Roma Manuel (sp) said Obama is the presumptive nominee and HRC can't win.



    Andrea asked is it an inescapable conclusion that HRC can't win.



    She said and emphasized that Hillary is "entitled" to finish this race.



    When asked about the number of superdelegates switching from Clinton to Obama she said there is a possibility that supers who voted for Obama might change their minds and switch to Hillary.



    I wish I felt better so I could really do this comment justice.



    I saw a scared and worried Tubbs-Jones still trying to defend massah.
