I don't believe anyone was predicting we'd be here this early in the politics of 2008. Is an insurgent candidacy from Obama getting ready to take Hillary out by holding her off in Texas on March 4th, if not Ohio, too? Virtually everything seems to be going against Hillary. And most pundits suggest that a Hillary loss would be a refutation of Bill.
Pretty amazing. Perhaps the Clintons weren't that powerful all along. He never did win fifty percent of the nation's vote. Between his embarrassment of his party and Hillary's being a weak candidate, it looks like it was too much to overcome.
If she doesn't pull it out, what's left for Hillary? Divorce Bill and turn into the Ted Kennedy in the Senate for her generation? Or will her NY Senate seat prove to be vulnerable now, too?
And as for Bill's so-called legacy, it looks like it's about destined to be a blue stained dress and 20-something year old girl.
Interesting times, to be sure.
it's not over yet. today obama told a crowd of 2,000 in duncanville texas how he was born to a teenage mother and his dad left him after two years. he was relating how he understood how it was to be poor, i think i heard violin music in the background. he left out that his parents met a the university of hawaii, weren't poor, were well traveled and educated, were married, got phd's,etc.. hell, that audience would have loved to have gone to the university of hawaii, most haven't gone to a universitiy or hawaii for that matter. this guy is such a tool and people are finding out.

I've been pondering these rumors for the past couple days ... + Jay knows his stuff ... but my conclusion is: Tonight or Tomorrow night, tomorrow or Friday morning, there will be a big / last killer story to come out somewhere, sometime about Obama. There's obviously some "there" there and my thinking these rumors are the setup ... plus even and/or if she holds on and wins Ohio or elsewhwere she can put out, "we were ready to ... but now things are different". I've also been thinking such a story might be timed to coincide with the Rezko trial revelations starting on Monday. Remember, these people claimed comeback victory in 1992 after coming in 3rd place in NH. But in order to make the splash she needs, it needs to come out Thursday (night at latest). If it's in the papers on or before Friday morning there's time for it to take hold. Otherwise it gets lost in weekend news cycle rather than drive it. Or at least that's the traditional Clinton M/O from past experience.

He left out that his Arab Islamic father was married to another woman (allowed in Islam evidently) when he married B Hussein's white mother. In the U.S. the marriage was illegal so that makes him a what? Which he is proving daily. Now the born rich bastard wants us to pity him.

Hussein's a bastard?
I never woulda guessed it.
Oops, I'm not allowed to say those words about the Obamessiah.
Prepare for the repudiation.

Yeah, I recall the UK article from some time back - his Father was a bigamist under American law and Obama's Ma had a thing for Black men exclusively including others besides his Father as I recall. I wouldnt be surprised if she had commie sympathies to go along with all that, as someone at NRO recently wrote. He's a red diaper baby.
