Jon Stewart Takes on Hillary (and the Wingnuts) Over Obama's "Bitter" Truth

Politicians for the status-quo--and their mouthpieces in the media--are apoplectic over Senator Barack Obama's recent comments about the bitterness many Americans feel over a federal government that has systematically left them behind. They're hammering Obama as an "elitist" that's out-of-touch with average Americans.

Of course, Hillary is leading the faul band. She has lashed onto the comments in a pathetic attempt to convince Democratic primary voters that she's their girl because she's now a beer and whiskey drinking, gun-loving, church girl.

You can't make this stuff up!

Jon Stewart of the Daily Show pokes fun at the response of Hillary and the wingnuts to the "bittergate" controversy. Enjoy.

98% of Historians give GWB's presidency an F

In a survey of American historians, the History News Network found that 98 percent believe that Bush's presidency has been a failure, while only about 2 percent see it as a success. Additionally, more than 61 percent of the historians view the current presidency as the worst in American history.

Among the reasons given for his low ratings:

• invading Iraq
• "tax breaks for the rich"
• alienating many nations around the world

This should spell doom for the continued Conservative Republican rule. However, they won't go down without a fight.

The rightwingers will go nuclear in an effort to keep power.

Look for the rightwing screechers/propagandists (Limbaugh, Hannity, et al) to put their "distract the electorate" campaign into overdrive. Their choice devise? The not so thinly veiled racial attacks on Senator Barack Obama.

Latino Immigrants Build NYC's Towers; Many Pay Ultimate Price

According to New York Construction Workers United, about 64 per cent of the city's 250,000 construction workers are immigrants who do the vast majority of non-union work.

Of the 43 incidents that took place in New York in 2006, almost half of them involved Latinos, according to the Department of Labor Statistics.

Reason #6 Why the Clinton Campaign Needs To Be Shutdown: Self-Indulgent, Undisciplined, Orwellian

The media is all a twitter and Clintonistas are spitting fire over revelations that Hillary and Bill's final argument to Super Delegates: Obama Can't Win.

Orwellian!

Just think about this argument for a minute: While Hillary is losing to Obama in the Democratic Party's own primary contests, "supers" should ignore this and crown Hillary because only she can win. Say What?

Priceless. And pure Clintonista silliness. Here's their twisted logic:

- Obama has won 30 primary contests to Hillary's 14, but Hillary should be the nominee.
- Obama has raised lots more many from twice as many donors, but Hillary is the stronger fall candidate.
- Obama has received more votes, but Hillary is more electable.
- Obama has won more delegates, but Hillary should be the party's standard bearer.
- Polls show that only Obama can beat McCain in the fall, but Hillary thinks otherwise.
- Polls show that 2x as many Americans like Obama than Hillary, but Hillary thinks more voters will vote for her in the fall than for Obama.
- Polls show that the public wants a change and that Obama best represents that change, but Hillary thinks that in a contest between her and McCain that the public wants yet more of the Clinton melodramas that fatigued even hard boiled Democrats long ago.

Finally, no doubt that Obama has run an innovative, disciplined and effective campaign--of the sorts never seen before. By comparison, Hillary's has been messy, undisciplined and has grossly underperformed. Add to that record the fact that Hillary failed in her central senatorial promise to bring even modest economic help to Upstate New York; drove health care reform into a ditch; and has been involved (or Bill) in so many questionable and even shady transactions. But still, Hillary should be the nominee because she'll make a better chief executive than Obama.

This whole pathetic Hillary run (along w/Bill and W's 16 years) is yet more evidence for why the voters should NOT entrust the leadership of the U.S. and the world to bankrupt baby boomers. Any wonder why voters are preferring McCain and Obama?

Reason #5 Why the Clinton Campaign Needs To Be Shutdown: An Out of Control Bill

Bill Clinton has been a liability to Hillary Clinton's run for the Democratic nomination. His junkyard dog outbursts and intimidation of students, reporters and even super delegates is beyond the pale, unprofessional and, of course, unpresidential.

Everyone knows that the Clintons are a dysfunctional mess--especially Bill, but many Democrats have tried to gloss over all of that in an effort to support Hillary's historic bid.

However, Bill's erratic behavior, combined with Hillary's own character challenges, are causing the party faithful to question whether they can stomach a 3rd Clinton presidential stint.

It really is past time to tell the Clintons and their acolytes to go away.

Governor Richardson Condems Clintonista-Style Politics

Jimmy Carville's vicious attack on Bill Richardson for endorsing Senator Barack Obama is exactly what the governor has been cautioning Democrats against--and why decent Democrats everywhere must condemn Clinton-style politics.

Richardson's rebuttal was published in the April 1st edition of the Washington Post. Here's the conclusion:

I do not believe that the truth will keep Carville and others from attacking me. I can only say that we need to move on from the politics of personal insult and attacks. That era, personified by Carville and his ilk, has passed and I believe we must end the rancor and partisanship that has mired Washington in gridlock. In my view, Sen. Obama represents our best hope of replacing division with unity. That is why, out of loyalty to my country, I endorse him for president.

It's pathetic that the Democratic Party, which considers itself morally superior to the Republicans, is still in the grips of the morally bankrupt Clintonistas and their polluted politics.
