I want to see that picture of her out there in the duck blinds.

I want to see another picture of Obama bowling.

So this is the politics of hope, change and unity?

All because he was either too proud or too politically stupid to simply admit he misspoke and apologize when his comments first became public.  His inability to put this to bed is more worrisome than the original comments.  

What I wouldn't give to see what their internal polls are showing (if they have them yet) or the Super Delegates are saying to them because Clinton keeps hitting him and he keeps scrambling to get himself out of this mess.  

Annie was a remarkable woman, really up from poverty, and she didn't whine about it.  She just continued to work hard, breaking records well into her 60s, and who does that remind us of, hmmm?

And Annie was a philanthropist for women's rights and many other causes, including the support of many young women whose needs she put before her own.  Still, the tabloid types attempted to smear her -- but found nothing.

;-)

God help us, he is such an awful candidate.  Yes, he's good with words, and yes he looks fantastic in a suit, but is there anything else at all?

"She's running around talking about how this is an insult to sportsmen, how she values the Second Amendment, she's talking like she's Annie Oakley...."

Hillary Clinton's out there like she's on the duck blind every Sunday, she's packin' a six shooter! C'mon! She knows better. That's some politics being played by Hillary Clinton. I want to see that picture of her out there in the duck blinds."

Aside from the Obama's obvious bittercakes disguised as humor - Clinton specifically said that she was taught how to shoot when she was a kid, but that she was not a hunter and never had been.  Other than that, she said she gets the 2nd Amendment and people have the right to own guns.

And from this, Obama extrapolated that Clinton talks as though she were "on the duck blind every Sunday"?

Clinton: "I'm not a hunter."
Obama: "I want to see that picture of her out there in the duck blinds."

Annie Oakley isn't the only think he doesn't know very much about.

I have to say, given all the support he's gotten from the Blogger Boyz, I'm not surprised Obama finally turned into a concern troll.  

Karl Rove must be laughing his ass off watching these 2 campaigns and these 2 sides of supporters go to civil war. Both sides complain 'oh, our candidate has been treated unfairly, its all the other sides fault they are just blind or naive or kool-aid drinkers and can't see it or won't admit it.

He didn't come across as someone having fun. But then considering the self-inflicted wounds he is suffering from lately, he probably isn't having much fun.

In a previous post, I discussed the link between Obama and Raila Odinga and the almost eerie demands by Odinga for a 50-50 split of cabinet posts in Kenya. It now appears that a compromise has been worked out...

According to the BBC, a power-sharing agreement was reached on Saturday. Odinga, apparently, is more willing to compromise than his cousin (?) Obama.

It's all a state of mind.  There are humble billionaires and snobby welfare recipients.

Having lived in L.A. for several years, this dichotomy became glaringly obvious when I'd see waiters driving around in late model Mercedes Benz and BMV cars while earning lower middle class salaries.  On the other end of the spectrum you might see a millionaire riding around in a bike or making small talk with valets, maids, etc unlike others who would consider it beneath them.

She was simply claiming that, because of her family history, she understands and has basic respect for the gun culture.

Are there any Christians here?

Why, yes, I went to Sunday School today.  And I believe in evolution and separation of church and state and that some of the Book is campfire myth and that we are given intelligence and the ability to learn God's (there's that word!) will for ourselves--but maybe not for someone else.  There are also the damnable facts that I am a southerner AND a Baptist of the old sort (not Southern Baptist).

How many diaries have we seen on the Talk Left front page re: the Obama/Clinton tit for tat speeches versus Bush/Cheney's admission on torture. I'll tell you how many I saw on the TL front page: one.

Since when did outrage over Obama's/Clinton's comments become more important than a story like this? It's more than just Talk Left. That doesn't mean Talk Left should follow the herd.
