Originally, the following was in response to a close, and mostly liberal, friend’s series of anti-Obama postings, posted in March of 2008 or thereabouts (mostly all posts were copies of articles my friend found elsewhere, and were not my friend’s own).
For a look at Barack’s actual policies on anything (instead of propaganda) please simply visit http://www.barackobama.com/.
I may have revised some small bits, but the spirit remains.

In light of recent statements from Clinton that she’ll be in the race ‘til the end, and in the face of odds that make her endorsement as a candidate numerically unlikely, a recent swath of endorsements seem to be sending back to her a reactionary message: First, Obama gets the endorsements from Gov. Bill Richardson, then Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey Jr., then most notably Vermont's Patrick Leahy...
And now on Saturday, Obama wins a majority in a second round, in Texas of all places, of delegates, putting him at 51 to her 49 percent there, and giving him an additional overall delegate lead of 1,858 to her 1,270.
This is more than a little ironic since she actually won the Texas primary; the popular vote...
It’s ironic because the basis of one her arguments for a win is that she still has the potential to win because both Delegates and super-D’s both have a right to vote any way they want— even if this goes against the popular vote; the will of the people...
Well, it seems with Texas she’s being proven correct somewhat... but the result is not in her favor...
Then regarding Florida and Michigan, she argues let the people speak (even though she signed an agreement regarding those states not counting); and regarding the convention she more than implies that the super-D’s can vote their consciences, regardless of what the will of the people says— Going against the will of the people, in fact, is the very basis of her argument that she can still win...
So, her message here is simple, the people should count, when their votes are for ‘me’; or the delegates’ votes (regardless of what the people say) should count, when the votes are for ‘me’...
Then add to this her repeated ‘lapse of memory’ over the barrage of gunfire she supposedly dodged on that trip she took as a first lady... later proved not as she described...
As for ‘your’ litany of states falling in succession... well, specifically Oregon, which is where I’m from... Obama and Richardson were here together and 12, 000 tickets went away in less than 5 hours or something ridiculous like that (and later they were selling them on craigslist)... Obama will take Oregon, just like Washington...
And as for the PA double digit lead in PA polls... Twenty-somethings and many Thirty-somethings only carry cell phones... They are not being polled... This has been the essence of the surprising numbers in the democratic turnouts... numbers which have literally made precincts order more voting cards...
And who is responsible for generating these numbers... The same candidate whose average donation from contributors is around $109 dollars and (though he’s gotten PAC contributions for senate earlier) has taken ‘no’ federal PAC money for his presidential bid...
Gov. Bill Richardson (a likely and eloquent wise old Obi Wan VP or Secretary of State potential), Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (as if to actually punctuate with his endorsement Obama’s recent Wright Speech; or is that the Right Speech), then most notably Vermont's Patrick Leahy... and now the Texas delegates...
So, what is the blowback we see here as a result of her obvious manipulative-ness..? The answer here is simple... If Billary doesn’t take the so-called projected double-digit lead she claims probable in PA and especially if she doesn’t stop the negative campaigning which threatens to take down the entire party with her...
And if Billary can’t quell her feelings of entitlement... her avarice... the Supers are simply gonna do it for her...
The recent spate of endorsements is a warning... and they will become a barrage well before June if Billary can’t take a hint...
Bring on the rain...
