Pittsburgh Steelers owner: Obama

Just like when Rooney backed the NFL finding that the Patriots didn't cheat even though we later found out that they illegally taped the Steelers during the 2004 season.
It's sad to see what our Steelers are becoming. Luckily Rooney only runs a football team and I doubt his influence on politics will be felt much.

SOON HILLARY WILL TELL US ABOUT THE TIME SHE WAS WEARING A STEELERS JERSEY, AN EAGLES HAT, A PHILLIES CAP, A PIRATES MEDALLION, A FLYERS JACKET, SIXERS SHORTS AND PENGUINS UNDERWEAR WHILE SHE WAS DODGING SNIPER FIRE IN BOSNIA

Hey Jeffy,

Why don't you go back to PA and offer the rich people more tax cuts, that should fix'em up?

"GOPer carpetbagger returns to PA in shame"

Mike--were the Gobamas proud of this?
They need to learn about American culture. I suggest they watch the 203 documentary "Rebels of Oakland: The A's, the Raiders, the 70's. (Here's the url, kids:
http://www.imdb.comtitle/tt0391416)
This is another example of the great stuff the pro clean energy anti war 70s people DID that Obama MISSED in Indonesia (where the women are docile and don't drink) and at that private school in Hawaii.
Yet another example that this nationally unvetted candidate cannot be the top of our ticket. HRC is NOT the enemy.
What’s wrong with waiting 8 years, Obama and Gobamas? Wait for LBJ’s 3rd generation of Dixiecrats to kick the bucket.
I used to say that. And I may say that again.
But, give a listen to the audio posted by Mayhill Fowler (the not so pretty girl recently on the bus who savvily recorded the disturbing speech in California).
It’s a disturbing speech and shaking a ‘you are naughty’ finger at Hilary Clinton will not work.
In fact, the whole strategy for ‘dealing’ with his comment disturbs me even more.
Because, there seems to be a pattern emerging from not just the Obama campaign, but from the lips of Obama himself:
Exclude from the ‘movement’ or otherwise silence the non-enthusiastic or
‘offending’ middle aged white or elderly women.
Listen to the audio Mayhill recorded—and be sure to thank her and show your support for her. She will need it, if Tavis Smiley is any example of how people non-conforming to the Obama message of ‘hope’ get treated.

His comments to the crowd that we need ‘new people’ in the Democratic party kind of chilled me to the bone. I find him very intolerant. I find his campaign intolerant. He responded to a question about his ability to really unite the party after such a divisive campaign by saying that “people get their feelings hurt” and they’ll be back (basically).
I don’t think that’s the case. People left his campaign because we felt it was using the wrong strategy and felt (but couldn’t quite put our finger on WHY it was fundamentally wrong-minded.
In his speech last night, in which he mentioned that ‘abstinence” and teaching appropriate behavior would be a good idea—heck—the people he BASHED last night have been speaking about this stuff for years! In fact, the Planned Parenthood crowd in Kalamazoo, Michigan (who later came to Chicago) managed to get a K-12 systematic sex education curriculum passed in the late 1970s. The JOHN BIRCH society worked to get it removed from the schools—and the Planned Parenthood clinic was actually bombed.
Would 70s style peaceful activists be part of the mature crowd Obama now wants replaced with his Gobama crowd? No. Not if he can help it.
That’s what it’s looking like to me.
Particularly when I heard Obama last night say talk about the pro-choice people he said were reluctant to infuse a “moral dimension’ into the abortion issue.
Patently false. Shame on Barack Obama.
Shame on him also for the recent clarification that in fact he DID attend a Muslim school (the public schools in Indonesia were like the community—women didn’t have to wear the veil, but…) seems like he was earlier being less than forthcoming. Even in liberal Islamic settings, women have a back of the bus status. I do NOT think Obama has been honest enough about this.
I think he’s sexist. Not just for the relentless bashing of Geraldine Ferraro, but for something really revealing in his speech last night, he ‘could not remember’ whether he’d had a conversation with his daughters about God. Well, if you’re in a 50’s throwback marriage where mommy is the main person interacting with the kids when they’re not in the expensive, enriching U of C daycare---then you perhaps are leaving a lot of that stuff to the wifey.
And perhaps that’s why Michelle (back when she let reporters cover her fund-raising) cut loose with the “ladies against women” style rant against Hilary (“How can she handle the White House when she ‘can’t manage’ her own house (sic).”)
The problem with sexism or any ‘ism’ is the elitism at its heart.
But there’s another reason why the Obamas must mature more before they’re at the top of the ticket.
They’ve let the newfound celebrity go to their heads.
Call it the ‘diva factor’.
Bonnie Raitt (you might remember she and Jackson Browne played a New Hampshire benefit for John Edwards’ superior approach—since adopted by Hilary Clinton—regarding nuclear power, greenhouse gases, and whatnot) chafed at being called a diva on a blues show last night. She said it reminded her of the old saw “Don’t look Miss Ross in the eye as she heads on stage.”
Barack Obama as diva.
Annie Oakley at least was a class act.

Ya know, you've re-posted that tripe about 100 times already today, you need to go back to Hillary Talking Points INC and get something new because no one on here is buying that line of BS.

The REAL latest Poll results:
Tuesday, April 08, 2008

Following a month of declining poll numbers for Senator Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania, the race has stabilized for the moment.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows Clinton leading Barack Obama by five percentage points in the Keystone State, 48% to 43%. That’s little changed from a week ago...

This post here (see above) shows how low the IQ level for the average Hillary cheerleader really is..

If Hillary doesn't win PA by 20% it's a win for Obama, end of story!!!

We are Bitter, Thank you Sen.Obama for telling the truth. I guess some people just can't handle the truth, the truth hurts.

Obama 08'

What a surprise!! Jeff has something to say on this topic. Too bad nobody but Jeff cares what he thinks.

Well, you did reply, didn't you?

Wasn't ARG the same poll that Frank James was touting a week ago because it showed the race tightening?

Hey moron, you do realize that carpetbaggers are people that move to another locale and run for public office, don't you?

What gives you the idea that I am a "Hillary cheerleader"? Before you assail someone's IQ; you should be aware of your own lack of intelligence.

Try going back and reading the post I was responding to...

Hey moron, carpetbaggers are also people who move from one locale to another and then work in that area to get people they like elected.

It's pretty clear that Jeff doesn't like John McCain. He LOVES John McCain. I think he has a woody 24/7 for McCain.

correction to the FUZZY MATH gurus above (aka hillary supporters);

even if hillary wins pennsylvania 70 % to 30 %, she will STILL be WAY behind obama in pledged delegates and in the popular vote (at the very least, in all states where the democrats ran a democrat-sanctioned election)

another way to put it is;
EVEN IF hillary wins Pennsylvania by FORTY points, she will still have to play superdelegate "behind closed doors" games AND the "lets count the votes we said we were not going to count" games in order to win the nomination

in other words, hillary cannot get the nomination without taking it from the leader - NO MATTER how well she does in Pennsylvania

and I repeat my earlier question;

BILL CLINTON PARDONED MILLIONAIRE CRIMINALS -- HOW CAN ANYONE SAY THIS IS NOT ELITISM ??? a(answer - you CAN'T honestly say it isn't)

THE CLINTONS HAVE PROVEN THEIR ELITIST TENDENCIES BY ACTIONS NOT WORDS

THESE ARE FACTS NOT OPINIONS

DEAL WITH IT - HRC FANATICS (AKA voters who only look at gender when choosing which nominee to vote for - being an honest an logical person, I admit that this last line is an opinion - everything else above however, is FACT)

John, please stop the personal attacks posted as "julia." You're not doing anything other than embarassing yourself. Why do you choose so many female alias names? Are you telling us something about yourself?
Either way, John, you're misinformed. I'm not here to do anything about the political culture in Illinois. I could care less how many Strogers or Daleys or Blagos you all elect. There will always be pockets of resistance like Elmhurst to move to whenever the latest excessive tax hike is passed with flying colors. By posting on this blog I'm simply exercising my rights and I'm more than happy to be a thorn in your side.

Jeff has every right to post.

The Secret Service also has every right to surveil him!!!

Just a little fun Jeff, don't take it to hard. You like the McCain of 2000. I liked him to. The problem is he's along way from being the maverick he once was. R.I.P. the straight talk express.
