Why won't he just shut up about it?  I mean, seriously-who in his campaign is telling him that he needs to keep digging this hole?  They can't possibly believe that through the power of oratory, he can change people's minds.  Can it really be that simple?

I've been saying - mainly all through the Bush presidency - that I ought to have the phrase "I just don't get it" tattooed on one of my palms, because I say it so often that it would just be easier to hold it up 50 times a day.

I find myself feeling the same way about Obama.  I don't get how the media can be so blind or uncaring or indifferent or lazy that they don't feel the slightest obligation to call him on the more-than-daily changes in his positions.

Are we immune to the charm?  Unable to be hypnotized?  Missing the hoodwink gene?

I mean, if anything screams "unite" it's a Jefferson-Jackson dinner.

The Brownshirts--the Nuremberg Rallies--How far off is a neoKristallnacht?

Sure there was still some ultra-loyal followers, but nothing compared to what exists now. Because overall, most were open to discussion, especially about issues. And they knew when they were sacrificing some on an issue for the candidate. Now there is no sacrifice because faults can never be acknowledged. Issues don't matter, only loyalty.

But -- so the questions you're most likely to get about me, 'Well, what is this guy going to do for me? What's the concrete thing?' What they wanna hear is -- so, we'll give you talking points about what we're proposing -- close tax loopholes, roll back, you know, the tax cuts for the top 1 percent. Obama's gonna give tax breaks to middle-class folks and we're gonna provide health care for every American. So we'll go down a series of talking points.

What it seems to show is that Obama was going to change tactics and take on Hillary policy bullet point for policy bullet point. And good for him if he did, because if he did that for UHC he'd look good taking the high road, fix a plan that's really broken, and re-open the dialog with the voters he just pissed off -- the ones who are gong to lose jobs or houses if they get sick.

But n-o-o-o-o-o! He had to go on the rampage insulting and belitting Hillary again, with the whole six shooter thing. And now he's kept the issue alive, his fan base is dug in deeper, and the rest of us are more pissed off than ever (and I have to say, I didn't think I could even be this pissed off. I've completely lost my teddy bear personality).

are those whose views on a matter are to be taken the most seriously or carry the most weight; whose views and/or actions are most likely to be constructive to society as a whole; or whose extraordinary skills, abilities or wisdom render them especially fit to govern

But trying to parlay the reaction at one dinner into an informal poll of voter attitudes is just silly. Or have you forgotten all of the breathless coverage of the record breaking crowds Obama was drawing in California before Super Tuesday?

This is from the Philadelhpia Enquirer, talking about an event last night: "Last night, Clinton and Gov. Rendell delighted a raucous crowd of several hundred in blue-collar Bristol Borough, Bucks County, by slamming Obama's misstep once again."

TRUTH: The Internet is an outgrowth of a Pentagon program established in 1969. In the 1980s, Gore supported legislation considered favorable to the Internet's development.

I only post that to show what YOU look like.

When you say Clinton lied about Bosnia THIS is what you sound like.

And YOU are the reason why, when Obama is attacked the same way, just the same way Gore is attacked HERE I will consider it a sad sort of schadenfreud.

Lets look at that link again:

That's YOU baby.

That's all you.

That's your tactic.

That's your candidate's tactic.

And I will laugh when it gets turned on your candidate.
