The Irony of Obama's message tonight

[MG1968]

I used to think Hillary was bitter and angry at the world, but after listening to Michelle Obama ramble on about fear and anger and uncertainty, I cringe right along with OE.

 

[OrangeEmpire]

I thought you were talking about her speaking style not her politics.

She speaks eloquently, it is what she says that will turn people, especially women against her.

Women will not be able to identify with her.

Funny how you never here Hillary complain about an education from two Ivy League Schools.

Fair enough.

or a 300K/year job that has graciously allowed her to be absent while her husband tries to win an election.

Inflation is low, interest rates are low, unemployment is low, the stock market is working back toward 14K. The housing market is beginning to stabilize once again as people who are actually qualified to own a home are doing so.

Unemployment is currently lower than at the time during the 1996 election (5 vs 5.5%) and I would imagine interest rates are lower. In short, the economy is in relatively good shape historically speaking but it is trending down from very good.

Obviously gas prices are way higher than then and that's a very observable issue.

If she continues to complain about student loans...

Do not complain about student loans while making 300K a year. the people will not identify with that.

probably because she wasn't educated at two Ivy league schools.

true

 

[allvol123]

ummm...like she needs the story to be true?

 

[Fine Vol]

Yea she most likely went somewhere easy like WEST POINT:whistling:lol:

BA from Princeton and a JD from Harvard don't qualify as two Ivy League schools?

 

[BigPapaVol]

actually, she went to an ultra liberal all female school in Boston.

The Boston area is known for great schools I think. YES?

Did I miss something?

but you were talking about Hillary not complaining. I assumed you meant complaining about her own education, not someone else's. Otherwise, the analogy really didn't work.

Wait, what?

 

[OrangeEmpire]

Wait, what?

She has consistently complained about paying back student loans to try and identify herself as a common person.

 

[TennNC]

This polling data is a bit dated (from March) but it shows McCain with a pretty solid lead among pure independents.

Obama, Clinton Leverage Different Groups vs. McCain

This contradicts the Pew survey conducted a couple weeks earlier that showed Obama leading McCain amongst Independents.

I think it'll be interesting if it's Obama vs. McCain.

You may be right, you may be wrong. What's certain is that she sure doesn't follow the Mother-of-the-Groom Rule #1: shut up and wear beige.

If the voting public is dumb enough to believe Ayers is not a changed man, they should be neutered.

The fact that Obama is a viable candidate, and chances are that he is going to be the next POTUS, I have my own ideas on who needs to be neutered in this country. And your statement speaks volumes, and quite frankly I find it offensive.
