Michelle expressed it ("constant sense of guilt," we're a country that's “just downright mean"), and Obama is cashing in on it.Quote:

Obama supporters may consider it a joyful noise. Clinton's, an unholy racket.
On N. Broad Street at Girard, a half-dozen Obama fans standing on a concrete median, holding signs entreating passing motorists to "Honk for Obama."
The majority of drivers are complying. There's a whole lot of beeping goin' on
Maybe this is why no called anyone I know about who we are voting for so this must be how they get their polling information.
Bill Clinton has a new strategy, blaming the Democrats' process, "We don't have a nominee here because the Democrats chose a system that prevents that result." Seems I mentioned that after the Texas primary where Clinton won the popular vote but Obama got more delegates. It's hard to figure out where the Dems stand on this popular vote thing, they want it for the general election, Obama had no problem taking more delegates even though he had fewer votes in Texas, but wants the superdelegates to base their decision on him winning the popular vote. I think Bill is right.
Oh, so you made it up, got it.Quote:

It's because the public is enamoured with the black candidate rather than the woman candidate because he is a smooth-talker but rather short on substance to get the country "battery-charged" to run great again as when Hillary's husband was President! And the public gets bored way too easily with details as Clinton Provides (check out her website!) and would rather listen to and follow a follower than a LEADER like Hillary. Obama follows the Rev. and others. Hillary follows her conscience that guides her to a great plan she has outlined on her website that will surely help to start solving the nation's problems. Obama would rather waffle with reporters, say cutsie-tootsie quips about his opponent, brush his shoulder with over-stated arrogance and avoid answering the Real Questions that Hillary is not afraid to answer. She's not afraid to go into the lion's den and even if she's not popular with the lions! She goes to confront Goliath and in the process grabs the bull by the horns. That is why one just has to admire her among many other things! She has impressed me greatly by meeting with those who are not with her politically! In this regard, Obama shows great weakness while Hillary's Strength continues to Surge Skyward! But some, most unfortunately, seem to appreciate more a good male actor rather than a True Leader.Quote:

And yes, Obama did sink his candidacy (and BIG $$$ MONEY $$$) in PA. and it still did him literally no good in the end. Hillary was outspent by more than 2 to 1 and still she took the Big state! Guess Obama was just too bitter for those Pennsylvanians' liking! But they sure sweetened up to Hillary! You're right, George, if dem Dems are smart, they will deep-six Obama before the convention as Obama hasn't won the big states yet either with all his money or his hoopla! GREAT GOING HEE-REE!! This gives her great Momentum to continue and attract even more Superdelegates! She's on the roll now!
Try to keep up. She was supposed to take Pennsylvania due to demographics. She had a sixteen point lead just six weeks ago, currently hoovering around a ten point margin in the primary, but might not get double digits in the final count. BTW Hillary's begging for campaign charity like those televangelists that mostly far right-wingers entertain. How much money have you donated?
That was about the polls. And now --- Major Networks are reporting that Hillary has raised about 10 MILLION DOLLARS in the 24 hours after her double-digit Victory in Pennsylvania! Everyone thought it would be a single digit win but even at 10 it becomes DOUBLE-DIGIT for those who don't understand it. Also, it appears that Obama outspent her in the PA. primary by over 5 to 1 not 2 to 1 as previously thought! How 'bout that! Hillary is positioning herself well for the remaining states and Superdelegates who are not locked in to either candidate right now! Great Going Hillary -- CONGRATULATIONS on your Pennsylvania win and may there be Many more!!Quote:

Social Security taxes go into the 'general fund', as far as I know. There is no trust fund. But I recall in 1964: a teacher told me that budget surpluses were like manure: they just sat around and smelled. This teacher knew what LBJ was proposing, but no one anticipated how expensive it would be.Quote:

No, the tax law isn't renewed every few years.
