“I am looking forward to a debate with John McCain. John McCain is a good man. He’s an American hero. We honor his service to this nation. But he has made some bad choices about the company he keeps.”

McCain has been much wiser about using this line of attack. Judgement, baby.

A less cynical, less calculating man would stop dead after saying such a thing, smack himself on the forehead, let out a mighty “D’oh!” and take the rest of the day off.
Not Obama. He keeps right on smilin’.

“Hello, pot? This is kettle; you’re black.”
Travis Bickle on March 26, 2008 at 10:45 PM
Unbelievable. We’re going to shove that quote so far up Obama’s rear end he’ll think it’s Michelle’s boot.

Karl Rove just ticked off a dozen Obama lies right off the top of his head on Greta.
TheBigOldDog on March 26, 2008 at 10:47 PM
Rove: She needs to win 60.5% of the remain delegates to go into the convention leading… Tough but not impossible especially in she wins better than 60/40 in Pennsylvania…
TheBigOldDog on March 26, 2008 at 10:50 PM
How much is Karl Rove paying him to carry on the act? Seriously, I mean he can’t be serious, can he?

Oh crud I turned the channel after I couldn’t take her any longer. She really layed it on thick tonight! I’ve gotten to where I know her “tells” like when she shrugs her shoulders and says, “Ya know..”

Please tell me he didn’t really say that?
Crickets?
Bob's Kid on March 26, 2008 at 10:53 PM
He sure seemed it. But hey, it’s in our interest to keep Operation Chaos going… I’m shocked Hillary was so upfront about how she’s going to get the Florida and Michigan delegates seated, “one way or another.” She’s going to make him oppose it at the convention through a credentials fight. She said, “let’s see him do that 3 months before the general election.” She was as serious as a heart attack.
TheBigOldDog on March 26, 2008 at 10:54 PM
This is what happens when you’re surrounded by slobbering groupies who think you walk on water. You get careless.

McCain will tear this cretin a new one…
Snooper on March 26, 2008 at 10:54 PM
WSJ/NBC poll has Obama and Clinton tied, and Obama with a projected lead over McCain, all under the heading: Obama undamaged by Wright.
Rasmussen has this: McCain leads Barack Obama 51% to 41% and Hillary Clinton 50% to 43%.
Wish I could engage the entire WSJ in a very large bet.
Jaibones on March 26, 2008 at 10:55 PM
Rove trying to convince Obama he needs to seat Florida and Michigan to build good will…LOL!
TheBigOldDog on March 26, 2008 at 10:55 PM
…and look like he is courageous and a leader…
TheBigOldDog on March 26, 2008 at 10:55 PM
Don’t forget that pistol of a wife Obama surrounded himself with too. She’s hurting him more than Hillary. And I haven’t seen her on TV since her “I am proud” moment. If Obama somehow got elected, Michelle would be the only First Lady to be under a Presidential Gag Order.
It’s obvious Obama has some issues with his decision making process.
Hog Wild on March 26, 2008 at 10:57 PM
Nevermind the racist pastor who clearly is akin to Obama on views of race. Obama’s military advisor is Tony McPeak who is a complete idiot- so much so that he makes Joe Biden look intelligent. This is important because McPeak would undoubtedly be crafting military and national security policy should Obama win.
Likewise, Republicans and Conservatives need to be very concerned about McCain’s advisors who all seem willing to trash this nation.
highhopes on March 26, 2008 at 10:57 PM
Thanks for that link! Judging by the – snort, giggle, tee hee – the company you keep?

TheBigOldDog on March 26, 2008 at 10:59 PM
Obama hasn’t explained anything,heres what I find odd!
You would think if one really wants to be President,and
a President to all Americans Obama would of scuttled Rev.
Wrights racial schooner,period!
But how could he,that is the company Obama keeps,his speech
to any normal thinking person sent a red flag loud a clear,
he then clarifys it a bit more,and it gets worse!
The liberal media gets on the bandwagon and hails it the best speech ever since America was formed.
So after the media gives kudo’s to Obama’s speech,Obama gets
a green light that hey,those that don’t agree are racists!
So instead of the poisonous relationship any body would
terminate,its embraced by the percived notion of all!
And again,how did a Liberal nominee from the Liberal Party
side-track and distract from the election process,and turn
it into a race referendum!

He’s got to go home when he gets his head handed to him in Nov… He can’t afford to turn his back on Wright.

Yikes! And someone else has made some bad choices of words. So bad you can’t make this stuff up.

Claypigeon on March 26, 2008 at 11:09 PM
Come now peepels, there IS a bright side to Obama overcoming the tendencies of typical whites to be racist: if he wins the presidency then Mrs. Obama can be POTUS after his eight year stint.
If being First Lady is good enough for wonderbread Hillary then certainly a properly melanin’ed Michelle would be a shoe-in for the job.
Sixteen years of one Obama or another. HOOO WEEEE, welcome to Rainbow Land!

Interesting comment from a poster on the Politico article about Phil Breseden’s superdelegate primary proposal.
Hardball is just beginning and correlates nicely with the opening day of MLB play.

why’s everyone talking about rove? im not watching fox. anyone got video of him on there?
lorien1973 on March 26, 2008 at 11:17 PM
I sure hope that he is not talking about me or Juan Hernandez.
VinyFoxy on March 26, 2008 at 11:22 PM
If, and you know what they say about “if”. If a frog had wings he wouldn’t bump his butt when he jumped. But IF “Obamatron the all knowing” somehow got elected, I say cut her loose so there won’t be a second term.
Hog Wild on March 26, 2008 at 11:26 PM
He’s got to go home….
TheBigOldDog on March 26,2008 at 11:04PM.
TheBigOldDog: Hehe,ya think,according to Obama he
can’t seperate himself from the African
American community,or Wright!
And yup,your right!
canopfor on March 26, 2008 at 11:26 PM
Michelle O, glorious, much better than Mrs. Heinz ever could keep on giving. I remember 2004 gleefully. The ‘esteemed’ reverand…These two are, aside from his kids, the most important and closest company he’s kept.
I spent the day in Hollywood for work. The lefties, who were cocky a month ago, were subdued and depressed about Nov., today. I didn’t comment, as work is not a good place to discuss politics and religion.
Entelechy on March 26, 2008 at 11:26 PM
Again, I say. You just can’t make this stuff up! The democrats are a laugh riot.
SouthernGent on March 26, 2008 at 11:27 PM
Very interesting comment. Why wouldn’t I be surprised if I hear Hillary practically say the same thing tomorrow?

You mean that 40+ percent of the voters are moonbats? That’s really frightening.

If you do this in the mirror and dry hump the air it’s even more funny. (So I hear)

What a great post. Glad you posted it. The person nails it.
TheBigOldDog on March 26, 2008 at 11:39 PM
I question the company any politician keeps. Some more so than others.
But actions speak louder than words most times.
And words is all Barack Hussein Obama has.
I’m not interested in electing words, but deeds.
Kini on March 26, 2008 at 11:40 PM
It does make sense. Either the superdelegates are totally independent of primary results or they aren’t. If they aren’t, Obama shouldn’t be able to claim Kennedy, Kerry, and Richardson. Nancy may need that explained to her, and our girl is just the one to do it.
a capella on March 26, 2008 at 11:42 PM
man, this sniveling idiot and his minions are pissing me off more and more every day.
johnny mac, rub this pantywaist’s nose in this quote over,and over, and over again, PLEASE!
homesickamerican on March 26, 2008 at 11:43 PM
Nancy has a birdbrain. Otherwise she’d have kept quiet, or said something benign, like “I’ll support our nominee, whoever that will be”, if asked.
Entelechy on March 26, 2008 at 11:49 PM
And to think that the donks think Bush misspeaks.

Egyptian Hate Singer to Release Pro-Obama Song
“Barack Obama has picked up another celebrity endorsement—Shaban AbdelRaheem, the Egyptian pop singer whose best-known hit song is titled, “I Hate Israel:” Anti-Israel egyptian singer makes Obama song.”

Is it possible to make Barack Hussein Obama take a drug test?
Kini on March 26, 2008 at 11:58 PM
There will be, as there should, way more threads on this topic. These chickens are just beginning to stir…
Entelechy on March 27, 2008 at 12:04 AM
Impossible.
It will be politically incorrect and… racism in his case.
In this country we don’t give drug tests to politicians.
Are you crazy, are you on drugs?
If politicians took drugs tests, there will be nobody left to run the country.
God Bless America.

I don’t like his songs. They’re boring.
But I do like the other guy, umm… what’s his name?
Yeah…I remember now… his name is:
Musthave Arodup Yourpooper.
Now that’s a good singer.
They have this female one, she’s good too, her name is:
Awana Suka Dika
Egyptian men love her, and she’s very popular in Saudi Arabia, for some reason.

29Victor on March 27, 2008 at 1:54 AM
Obama is a hypocrite, but it’s more than that. This quote was made back in Feb. when Obama was trying to tie McCain to Bush. Their plan was to turn a moderate John McCain into a GW Bush clone. It’s going to be hard for democrats to paint McCain with the Bush brush now, not only because of the Wright story, but because the truth is, McCain is not the “extreme right wing conservative” (that even Rush Limbaugh hates?) they are trying to make him out to be. The Wright story has made it impossible for Obama to try the “guilt by association” strategy HE was planning all along.
Dollayo on March 27, 2008 at 1:59 AM
No, victor, I don’t believe he does. Obama has been told so often that he is “The One” that I truly believes he thinks himself invincible.
The shine is starting to come off as Obama spends more and more time attacking Hillary than presenting himself as a viable candidate. He is going to get his ass handed to him this summer by Hillary and in the GE (if he makes it) by McCain; he just doesn’t yet realize it yet.
Bishop on March 27, 2008 at 2:36 AM

Obama’s own words show that he not only keeps company with his pastor, but believes the same thing his pastor believes and has the same vision for “inspiring” a revolution in this country:
What kind of revolution does he want to “inspire”? A Communist Revolution, USA.
Red Pill on March 27, 2008 at 2:28 PM
Agreed. The current race appears to be a choice between three Democratic Socialists/Communists. Chose your poison.
I challenge anyone who is intellectually honest to compare McCain’s long senate record with the Program of the Communist Party USA.
I think everyone here understands the negative implications of another Clinton presidency (Hillary’s third term), so I won’t go into that now.
Bottom line: In my opinion it appears that the three remaining candidates for President are all trying to advance “The Road to Socialism USA“, and should be considered domestic enemies of the Constitution of the United States of America.
Red Pill on March 27, 2008 at 2:37 PM
I’d like to see some simple enforcement of section 3 of the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States:
John Kerry, for one, should not be allowed to be a Senator without a vote of two-thirds of each House. (He had previously taken an oath as an officer of the United States Navy, before that picture was taken of him meeting with the Secretary General of the Vietnamese Communist Party.)
How many other US Senators, having previously taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof?
Examine their Senate record and ask if their actions support the Constitution of the United States or instead support the CONSTITUTION OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and The Road to Socialism USA.
Red Pill on March 27, 2008 at 3:06 PM
Obama must have meant that McCain chose poorly by keeping company with those North Vietnamese torturers in the Hanoi Hilton. Maybe he should have been hanging around with Jane Fonda–she was prettier back then.
