The Bumbling Mr. Obama
B
.O. just doesn’t have this whole unity thing down yet. Yes, he promised to help Hillary raise funds. And yes, he flew her to New York for a big fundraiser. And yes, he promised that he would make the big plug for her.
And no, he didn’t pull it off well at all … because, apparently, the teleprompters were off.
Here’s Andrew Malcolm’s take, from LAT’s Top of the Ticket:
So The Times’ Louise Roug was at the Hyatt in the crowd of 1,000 who’d each paid $1,000 (what a coincidence!) so they could also pay cash at the bar. She dutifully listened to his familiar, 30-minute talk about promise. The crowd applauded. “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” blasted out of the sound system and Obama bounced off the stage to work the rope line and shake hands, not looking nearly as weary as The Times story says he is.
But about two minutes later Obama bounces back onto the stage. Waves his hands. Had he forgotten to mention about the jobs program?
The music stopped. Or maybe he neglected to praise his distant cousin Dick Cheney?
“Hold on a second,” he shouted. “I got one more thing.” Oops! It seems Obama had forgotten to mention the part about giving money to Hillary Clinton in the spirit of unity, the whole reason they were gathered there in the first place.
“Sen. Clinton still has some debt. And I could have had some debt — if I hadn’t won — so I know the drill. There are many supporters of mine here who have not yet given something to help her retire that debt. I would be very grateful if you looked under your chair. I think there should be an envelope or a pledge sheet or something.”
That’ll mend those bridges!

There will be world catastrophes awaiting us with a flip-flop puppet that has arisen in Messiah appearance to many flocks -if he does govern our country. Period! America surrounded by so many difficulties which to us seem insurmountable, we go and pick the two most unwanted men to govern us. Obama a man who as of today, native born phoney birth certificate is in question, and has more iniquities hidden under his bed with his wife’s sins. You then have a broken shoulder good chrisitian man who’s age is looked at in seriousness, and his temper is not needed in these times of peril. What choices we have placed in front of our voters. The only safe choice was the iron pants golden girl, who’s heart with in dismay to fix our country. Now, the choice of the two evils. Yes, hopefully, we, as Judeo-Christian would prefer Mccain, and will never wished the unknown flip-flopper Obama. We would like to see a good African American govern, but, not this one. So in these moments when we feel lost in the teeming mass of humanity, we can always remember that, it was the DNC bigots that made this blunder, and hope that they pay very well at the polls. Period!
