Obama should really stop thinking.
lorien1973 on April 14, 2008 at 10:47 PM
Awww….pander to your base with lies.
Spirit of 1776 on April 14, 2008 at 10:49 PM
I assume “Al Gore won” is an expression of his “faith?”
Hannibal Smith on April 14, 2008 at 10:50 PM
What did Al Gore win?
Entelechy on April 14, 2008 at 10:51 PM
Conspribama!

His fight against ManBearPig?
malan89 on April 14, 2008 at 10:52 PM
Obama has been peddlign some very addictive liberal magic pixy dust. But this dealer has apparently started using his own product. He’s going full tilt left, saying what he actually thinks, and believing his own hype, believing he can get away with it. I just wish the guy he was going to lose to in a crushing defeat was an actual conservative.
D0WNT0WN on April 14, 2008 at 10:52 PM
Funny — just a few months ago, I thought this guy’s purty mouth was going to take him all the way to the white house. Now that same mouth is his own worst enemy. Dude will not shut up.
Splashman on April 14, 2008 at 10:52 PM
So whenever he can’t think of something good to say he just blurts out, “Al gore won!”?
He smoked one too many joints and snorted one too many lines in high school.
Metro on April 14, 2008 at 10:53 PM
I wonder if BO clings to what life would be like if Bush hadn’t stolen the election from Gore.
swami on April 14, 2008 at 10:53 PM
Note to self, never retain Obama as a personal atty, he does not appear to understand the law.
F15Mech on April 14, 2008 at 10:54 PM
Quoting liberal scripture when asked about faith….. the Goreacle was robbed by Bush-hitler.
Keep ad-libbing with out a tele-prompter. It truly suits you.
Cold Steel on April 14, 2008 at 10:55 PM
Goinging for the “Goredorsement”
Vote for me and get CARBON CREDITS!
Even Gore says I’m Green – Not “Black”
/sick of pablum (sp?)
FloridaBill on April 14, 2008 at 10:55 PM
I mean come on people that was 7+ years ago. Can they not get over it? Really what the hell is their probelm? This is the difference between Liberals and Conservatives. Liberals “Cling” to perceived past injustices, while Conservatives say “Screw it, I’ll get him next time.”
knat on April 14, 2008 at 10:55 PM
F15Mech, and he was a constitutional law professor…
Entelechy on April 14, 2008 at 10:56 PM
So, he’s showing his conspiracist side? Only, if only, the courts decided in their favor, then the election would have been fairly won, right?
Ah, the left.
Richard Romano on April 14, 2008 at 10:56 PM
I’d love to see the Obama campaign’s carbon footprint.
malan89 on April 14, 2008 at 10:57 PM
Not even Gore believes that he won.
Entelechy on April 14, 2008 at 10:58 PM
No because by now things would really be in a mess and we would be ushering in the next Regan type revolution in this country. And BO would still be in the Il statehouse because he would not have gotten elected to the senate.
conservnut on April 14, 2008 at 10:59 PM
Why won’t anybody take him serial?
loganthompson on April 14, 2008 at 11:00 PM
Barry you sure seem bitter
It’s been 8 years; let it go dude.
MrSteve on April 14, 2008 at 11:00 PM
Stop the presses!
Man who attends church led by conspiracy-theorizing lunatic believes in conspiracies.
misterpeasea on April 14, 2008 at 11:01 PM
A beard and 50 extra lbs says manbear lost his mind over the results. That’s one of my fondest memories of that election. Life was truly wonderful when he was MIA. The liberal mind can train itself to believe in most anything. Gore and his minions still can’t grasp how Bush sliced through and won, despite the last minute efforts (DUI, media bagmen, etc.).
Cold Steel on April 14, 2008 at 11:02 PM
I love the precious little affectations he now displays. The Gore line is so pathetic I really don’t know what to say about it.
When he loses, I plan to stalk him wherever he makes appearances, carrying a huge poster that screams
“Pathetic racist loser!”
Jaibones on April 14, 2008 at 11:03 PM
Um, what happened to Obama bringing people together? If I can remember correctly, the 2000 election wasn’t really highlight of “togetherness.”
terryannonline on April 14, 2008 at 11:04 PM
Gawd…why don’t you mention the Secret American Gulag System and how Rove/Mossad/Bush Family orchestrated 911 too, Snobama?
The entire DFL is turning into one big circle jerk.
Bishop on April 14, 2008 at 11:04 PM
Wait, does that mean Obama is the Prophet and Al Gore is the Messiah? Can’t be. I’m sure it’s the other way around.
Nosferightu on April 14, 2008 at 11:07 PM
Goodness sake. I recall that even the Gray Lady counted the Florida ballots (although they had a tough time of it – it seems that chads kept coming loose during handling…just like Bush v Gore said they would) and concluded that Bush won.
Maybe Barry didn’t get his Times that day…
pavruch on April 14, 2008 at 11:07 PM
Bishop on April 14, 2008 at 11:04 PM
Ah, yes, but it is wonderful to see the Clintons go off the reservation. Political cannibalism is high theater.
Cold Steel on April 14, 2008 at 11:08 PM
I wonder if he thinks 9/11 was an inside job too.
TheBigOldDog on April 14, 2008 at 11:08 PM
Ok now I’ll get conspiratorial:
Do you guys think he brought up Gore because he’s hinting that if the super delegates don’t go with the popular vote…. Hillary will be an illegitimate candidate like they considered Bush’s presidency illegitimate?
terryannonline on April 14, 2008 at 11:08 PM
Good lord….
The Ugly American on April 14, 2008 at 11:08 PM
That is the sad part.
F15Mech on April 14, 2008 at 11:09 PM
He doesn’t even realize he’s diggin’.
ronsfi on April 14, 2008 at 11:10 PM
Still waiting for this clown to say something a) intelligent, b) substantial, or c) non-ass-kissing. He also might want to coat his shoe with something edible since it spends so much time in his big yapping mouth.
whitetop on April 14, 2008 at 11:10 PM
Ah, yes, but it is wonderful to see the Clintons go off the reservation. Political cannibalism is high theater.
Here here, unfortunately it seems to be happening a bit in the GOP also.
A DFL brokered convention would be worth its weight in gold, in fact, if they made it a governmental PPV event the national debt would be gone in a blink.
Bishop on April 14, 2008 at 11:11 PM
It’s simpler than that. Anytime the “Great Uniter” goes unscripted, he slurs out the DU talking points. This is when his brain slips and the real Obama comes out. I say give him more time in the Q&A. Let’s really crack him.
Cold Steel on April 14, 2008 at 11:11 PM
Translation: “The Supreme Court is corrupt”.
Hog Wild on April 14, 2008 at 11:11 PM
I feel sorry for the audience.
How stupid, how naive, how shallow are people!!
It is true: “Liberalism is a mental disorder.”
Thank you Savage.

Speaking of bitterness and cleaving unto religious icons…
The Ugly American on April 14, 2008 at 11:12 PM
Actually, I looked at some of the people in crowd and there was quite a few that didn’t clap.
terryannonline on April 14, 2008 at 11:13 PM
LMFAO!!!!!!
Now *that* oughta go onna mug…
The Ugly American on April 14, 2008 at 11:14 PM
Technically, he did win the popular vote. But that is not what counts.
I guess he has hope to change that!!
JohnnyD on April 14, 2008 at 11:15 PM
Well, Nixon won too. If your party, which includes the Republicans, is too weak to challenge the, purported, injustice, just shut up, you deserve the results.
2Tru2Tru on April 14, 2008 at 11:15 PM
Oh, and by the way, I think BO is an idiot…applause, applause..d1 pauses and pulls left ear.
d1carter on April 14, 2008 at 11:16 PM
Actually, I looked at some of the people in crowd and there was quite a few that didn’t clap.
Perhaps they are sensing the first tendrils of disaster from the guy who promised to ignore ‘politics as usual’. Digging up the corpse of 2000 and trying to breathe life into it seems very…well…whiny politics as usual.
Bishop on April 14, 2008 at 11:17 PM
The Oscar for best performance of a fraud.
drjohn on April 14, 2008 at 11:19 PM
Wow. Behold the (in)competent fruit of afirmative action.
The big O is woefully in WAY over his head.
I was amazed to actually hear on the radio and see on the TV today newcasters and talk show hosts actually discussing about his openly expressed marxism.
Finally. People are waking up.
They’re gonna need to run hil through that same gauntlet, if the big O continues to flame out, as I hope he does.
I’m still really torn about McC, but I’m glad to see him speaking out. One of the biggest problems of the past 7 years has been the unwillingness of the GOP to speak out against the dems.
The irony of McC speaking out against demeaning the voters is not lost on me either.
But we got what we got.
techno_barbarian on April 14, 2008 at 11:19 PM
Bush never really had a chance to bring the country together did he? The Left hated from the moment he was declared the winner, huh? We were united for like two weeks after 9/11.
terryannonline on April 14, 2008 at 11:19 PM
not that again…
well Obama you lost Florida, are you gonna let the Florida votes count?
Chakra Hammer on April 14, 2008 at 11:19 PM
Totally stole that from Carson ; )
The Ugly American on April 14, 2008 at 11:20 PM
…applause, applause..d1 pauses and pulls left ear.
Jeez…my first thought was Carol Burnett.
Bishop on April 14, 2008 at 11:24 PM
What a ‘tard.
D2Boston on April 14, 2008 at 11:26 PM
Anybody got a transcript? What did he say?
ninjapirate on April 14, 2008 at 11:26 PM
Host voice: “Bitter, Imma Bitter…party of democrats…your table is ready”.
SouthernGent on April 14, 2008 at 11:27 PM
I want to add. I need to make a promise that whoever wins in November that I will not be bitter about it and I will respect the office and the person who holds it.
terryannonline on April 14, 2008 at 11:27 PM
Wins dog catcher in November or President in November?
Cold Steel on April 14, 2008 at 11:30 PM
He said he thought Gore won.
terryannonline on April 14, 2008 at 11:30 PM
Along with being a constitutional law professor, he was on (editor?) Harvard Law Review. Which means he is perfectly worthless when it comes to actually practicing law.
misterpeasea on April 14, 2008 at 11:30 PM
Ha! The presidency:)
terryannonline on April 14, 2008 at 11:31 PM
I need to make a promise that whoever wins in November that I will not be bitter about it and I will respect the office and the person who holds it.
Not me, the person is liable for their conduct. For example, there is no way I could respect the way Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the dems attacked, insulted and denigrated General Petreaus. I respect their title and the benefits of the office but it ends there.
As a famous paratrooper once said, “You’re saluting the uniform, not the man.”
Bishop on April 14, 2008 at 11:33 PM
Admirable. A better person than me. Because if hil or the big O win the Office, I’m not sure I’m going to be able to not be bitter nor respect the Office and person who holds it.
I’m hoping America is smart enough not to elect either one of them.
techno_barbarian on April 14, 2008 at 11:35 PM
And the self-destruction of Obama continues…
Patriot811 on April 14, 2008 at 11:36 PM
Of course you hold people accountable. But there’s a difference between holding people accountable and saying vile things about someone because you don’t agree with them.
terryannonline on April 14, 2008 at 11:36 PM
Just holding you to it. I noticed you left yourself an out. Everyone’s hedging this election. Good on you for making the rest of us look petty. Dang McCain anyway.
Cold Steel on April 14, 2008 at 11:36 PM
But………. will Obama allow the Military fighting in the war to vote?
Seven Percent Solution on April 14, 2008 at 11:36 PM
in the re-written history books an asterisk will be by George W. Bush’s name..
DaveC on April 14, 2008 at 11:37 PM
Let’s simply this.
Obama is simply too weird to be president.
Connie on April 14, 2008 at 11:38 PM
oops…simplify
Connie on April 14, 2008 at 11:38 PM
But there’s a difference between holding people accountable and saying vile things about someone because you don’t agree with them.
I guess it depends on your definition of “vile” and what they did to cause you to disagree. The possibilities are endless, though I’ve accepted Pelosi and Reid as my majority leaders because that’s what they are; doesn’t mean I respect them as human beings.
Bishop on April 14, 2008 at 11:40 PM
Yes, Gore won handily. Chads in the morning, chads in the evening, chads in the summer time. I’ll take all the elitists money and scam ‘em with a hot globe fine.
wepeople on April 14, 2008 at 11:45 PM
Not conspiratorial at all, that’s a big deal for lefties, after years of screeching about the popular vote and 2000 elections, he knows that the superdelegates are gonna be reeeeeal nervous about going against the popular vote. The threat of a backlash from activists who have been frothing over the 2000 election for nearly eight years is a very powerful card for him to play.
doubleplusundead on April 14, 2008 at 11:48 PM
What is he saying? Take your pick:
1. The electoral college is illegitimate. Since Gore won the nationwide popular vote, he won the election.
2. Had the Supremes not stepped in, the recount would have gone to Gore.
Both these statements are nonsense. The candidates knew the rules in advance. The electoral college decides, not the popular vote. And we have no idea who would win if they kept counting. It could have gone either way. He’s supposed to be intelligent, but where is his mind?
Paul-Cincy on April 14, 2008 at 11:48 PM

Seven Percent Solution on April 14, 2008 at 11:50 PM
you will know he is in trouble when he starts smoking a pipe and wearing brown (Plus a goatee)
davod on April 14, 2008 at 11:50 PM
I think Obama’s saying, “Yeah, I effed up, and I know you superdelegates like Hillary. Don’t even think of screwing me. I probably have the popular vote locked, and you and I know if you screw me, and I have the popular vote, things are gonna get reeeeal ugly come Convention.”
doubleplusundead on April 15, 2008 at 12:00 AM
Dude! You decoded Obama speak! It’s like it’s own language. There’s what Obama says and then what he REALLY means to say:)
terryannonline on April 15, 2008 at 12:03 AM
Yo, OJ is a free man!
dmann on April 15, 2008 at 12:07 AM
We need a scientific breakthrough as of two months ago!
There has to be someone out there that already has their guns clean,already is way ahead in their bible studies,that have some spare time as to make some sort of gizmo that will
predict what Obama will say next,and in the context he says
it in,and how the Liberal media will predict if any new
gaffe will have traction!
So,that way,It’ll save us all the time and grief spending
time on all the moronic flubs that Obama creates!
Wait a tick,simplify it,a Politacal Time Machine.
Ya thats the ticket!Haha.

Dammit…why didn’t I think of this! I think you’re correct. Rush would be proud. I wonder if he’ll say this on the show today!
SouthernGent on April 15, 2008 at 12:11 AM
Heh, I’m probably reading into it too much.
doubleplusundead on April 15, 2008 at 12:16 AM
By the way, so everyone will be up to date, Al Gore did win.
He’s the next official Man In The Moon!
Beats that “Inconvenient Truth” lie.
“Look up there! Al’s full of it again tonight.”
Travis1 on April 15, 2008 at 12:27 AM
Well if the fella won, Barak, then why the hell didn’t you tear down DC? Why weren’t you screaming from the pulpit, or podium, or soapbox these last 7 years?
I guess stealing the Presidency, for Mr Obama, ain’t a big deal.
Limerick on April 15, 2008 at 12:33 AM
Can’t wait till this fool gets off my TV screen + favourite blog. He’s just begging to be schooled. I hope he or his wife stumble on Ann Coulter like Silky’s wife did.
AlexB on April 15, 2008 at 12:35 AM
I think that terry’s original speculation is closer to the mark, and I’ve tended to think that Obama, if he’s somehow forced to give in, would go quietly and smilingly enough to preserve his long-term viability and to forestall an ugly revolt, but I admit I’m beginning to wonder.
Once things get ugly, anything’s possible – including Obama himself being made the villain of the piece. Why would a young guy for a politician with so much potentially ahead of him take that risk? On the other hand, we don’t really know him very well, do we? Maybe it really is something more than opportunism, or a very peculiar kind of opportunism, that explains his long-abiding connections to Ayers, Wright, and Khaledi, his mentoring by a Communist, and some of his other connections. Or maybe he has exactly the kind of cool temperament that, when brought to crisis, explodes in destructive rage. I still don’t think that he’s as radical as all that, but at this point all we can really say with any certainty about any such proposition is that it’s untested.
So, no, I don’t think he’s threatening riots or other ugliness, even if more than a few observers have mentioned the possibility. If the Dems and the media decide they don’t want him, there’ve got to be fifty ways to leave your candidate, and 47 or so don’t have to look like outright theft of the nomination.
CK MacLeod on April 15, 2008 at 12:38 AM
So, the New Politics is about bringing hate and division to as yet unknown heights? This guy once seemed classy. But he has a couple of reverses and he gets down into the mud and tries to pull everyone else in with him.
snaggletoothie on April 15, 2008 at 12:39 AM
WELL DONE! Absolutely right terryann. It has nothing to do with Al Gore, it has nothing to do with pandering to the base. The base loves him anyway, and it doesn’t matter if he thinks Gore won or not because he didn’t.
What IS important for him now is to say, “If I win the popular vote, you had better not think of giving the nomination to anyone but me. Because I won the election just like Al Gore won in 2000″.
I was gonna get upset with the people taking the bait here with him dangling the shiney Gore won, but meaning if I get the popular vote, I get the nomination.
ThackerAgency on April 15, 2008 at 12:39 AM
Words matter. Right, Barak?
Limerick on April 15, 2008 at 12:40 AM
Silly question: Did anyone correct Barry by citing the various studies done by the MSM that almost unanimously found that George Bush DID win the election on the up & up? And, if not, why not?
thegreatbeast on April 15, 2008 at 12:42 AM
So anyone else notice that Obama is lying? Look at his face closely as he says Al Gore won…he obviously does not believe it to be true…
18-1 on April 15, 2008 at 12:44 AM
What’s the big deal?
Lots of Dems are bitter over loooooooooooooosing to Bush TWICE. The repeated repudiation of their Socialist Utopia Agenda has caused them to cling to their… what is it they hold dear again? Lets see, working backwards… not religion, not community, not guns… hmmmm oh, I know… they cling to Government!!
Nothin’ to see here folks, just move along now…
TheCulturalist on April 15, 2008 at 12:48 AM
Well, according to Joe Biden, at least he’s clean and smells good.
With those important attributes, he really needs to be elected President of the United States.
TexasJew on April 15, 2008 at 12:55 AM
…a Nobel Prize & an Oscar.
jgapinoy on April 15, 2008 at 12:59 AM
Indeed. The majority of them didn’t do a damn thing, and many looked distinctly bored and even a bit hostile. When he said the line, it was delivered so inartfully that there was absolutely no crowd reaction for a full second or so, and then somewhere off camera applause “broke out”. But he sure looked pleased as hell with himself, didn’t he?
This guy is not only a phoney, but a dud without a teleprompter.
drunyan8315 on April 15, 2008 at 1:00 AM
So he thinks Al Gore won, and now he has promised to have his Attorney General look into possible Bush administration crimes.
Who could he possibly be pandering to?????
The only people left who will vote for him, that’s who.
MagicalPat on April 15, 2008 at 1:15 AM
Nothing is going to be left of Oboobus but a carbon footprint.
Or is that racist?
profitsbeard on April 15, 2008 at 1:50 AM
An Academy award and a Nobel prize
That’s about it.
