Thanks to Garden State Lady for the following info. Seems like MoveOn is taking a stand against FOX's blatantly offensive "reporting" on Obama (be sure to check out the link to that video; their bias so IN YOUR FACE).....
Dear MoveOn member,
Over 428,000 people have signed a petition telling FOX to stop their racist and hate-filled smears against Barack Obama. If we hit half-a-million signatures, we can draw media attention and put pressure on FOX's advertisers.
Plus, Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films released a video this morning documenting FOX's ongoing smears against Michelle Obama. Please check out the video, and then sign the petition calling on FOX to stop peddling racism—and then tell your friends. Just click here:

Here's the link: https://pol.moveon.org/donate/foxsmears.html?id=13180-5361101-TmLp3Hx&t=3
FOX is shameless: in the several weeks alone, they've "confused" Obama's name with Osama's, referred to Michelle as "Obama's Baby Mama," and called an affectionate fist bump by Barack and Michelle a "terrorist fist jab."
Our partners at ColorOfChange.org will hold a major event next week to deliver boxes and boxes of petition signatures to FOX's headquarters. If we can deliver half-a-million signatures, other media outlets will have a powerful story to report—and FOX's advertisers will get the hint that it's not a good idea to associate their products with FOX's hate-speech.
Thanks for helping to fight the right-wing smears.

P.S. Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) has a new book out, and we thought you might be interested. The Nation called Wexler the country's "Most Valuable Congressman," and he's stood with MoveOn on numerous causes, from ending the war to stopping warrantless wiretapping in FISA. Now he's written "Fire Breathing Liberal," a fascinating account of life as an outspoken progressive in the House of Representatives. Says Comedian Stephen Colbert, "I enjoyed Congressman Wexler's book even more than I enjoy cocaine and prostitutes." You can check it out here:

And The Hater Award Goes To.....JESSE JACKSON!!!!
As much as I detest looking at this ghoul O'Reilly, I just gots to show you the actual video of Rev. Jackson's comments.
This is because I can't believe how many of you had NO IDEA ABOUT THIS or just thought all that was said was that he didn't like Obama "talking down" to Black people. Uh uhhh. He said something WAY MORE OFF THE CHAIN than that.
(Hey, but I understand. You're so in love with G-n-B (and so fed up with mainstream media) that this might be the only news you pay attention to these days....Thanks, but still READ THE NEWSPAPER, CLICK ON SOME YAHOO, OR WATCH THE 6 O'CLOCK OR 11 O'CLOCK NEWS AT LEAST ONCE IN A WHILE.....)
And with that "nuts" comment, you can tell he meant it too, because look at how he moved his arm at the end of the comment, AS IF HE REALLY HAD A KNIFE TO DO IT WITH. Damn, Jesse! Why???????

Obama Family Interview: Debrief
Okay, interview was so brief that if you blinked you missed it, but here's an on the fly G-n-B debrief....
- Mailia (the older daughter, 10 years old) looks like her daddy and Sasha (7 years old) looks more like Michelle.
- I LOVED the fact that Malia had cornrows in her hair. America (Black, white and whomever) need to see that some of us are indeed happy with our natural hair - even a future First Daughter.
- Michelle's make-up was FANTASTIC!
- Revelation: Sasha lets slip that her pops don't like ice-cream (!!!!!)....Wonder what the Republicans will do with that SHOCKER....
UPDATE: My bad, interview wasn't over, they just took a commercial break (c'mon, forgive me, I'm giving you an up to the minute play-by-play after all). So more debrief....
- now that the primary is over, Michelle says Barack is home at least once a week.
- His most romantic gesture lately? He just bought her flowers and they always go out on dates.
- HER most romantic gesture lately? "I take care of your children" (LOL!!!!)
- Even though some children think it's "embarrassing," she actually likes it when mommy and daddy hold hands and hug (aww....Black love in full-effect...AMERICA, ARE YOU WATCHING!!!!!)
Obama Family Interview on NOW!!!!
Quick, turn on the TV right now! The WHOLE OBAMA FAMILY is gonna be on NBC's entertainment show "Access Hollywood." This is a big deal because they have NEVER been interviewed all together before - and for good reason. Barack apparently has told reporters that he does NOT want photos of his kids taken.
Shoot, I hear that! It's worse enough they trying to step to the man's WIFE, but the least they could do is lay off the man's chi'ren.
Talk to you later, I need to watch this

First Look! All Black Italian Vogue Cover
Well here it is! The long awaited cover of the July issue of Italian Vogue which reportedly ONLY features Black models [photo from BlackAmericaWeb.com]....
So what do you think? I totally understand all the oddity that goes along with fashion, but still, this cover strikes me is kinda weird. Why they always gotta make us look bizarre, crazed, savage, freaky or animalistic???
I still can't find the mag yet(WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU PEOPLE?? HELP!), so I'll reserve further comment until I get to see the editorial. In the meantime, check out this article on BlackAmericaWeb.com
UPDATE: I was just told that the above mentioned website showed the wrong cover. The original one posted on G-n-B weeks ago is correct and one of these is what you should look for.

Update: Venus Wins Wimbledon
Well, this just in, straight from my TV peeps....
Venus Williams wins the 2008 Wimbledon Tennis title!!!!
Not for nothing, but having watched this from the beginning to end of the match, I can tell ya that although Serena exhibited lots of strength and endurance, overall, VENUS SPANKED LITTLE SISTA'S BUTT on the court.
And thing is, I'm not used to seeing Serena break down emotionally, and for the most part she kept her composure. But towards the end of the last set, when Serena made what I guess she felt was a careless mistake, she turns around, grabs her head and it looks like she almost started boo-hoo crying! Which is understandable, but still, I'm not used to her letting people see her "sweat".....
[PAUSE]
I just stopped to listen to the interview/acceptance speech of both sisters on the court....And while Venus imbued lots of smiles and humor, Serena just did not look happy. I mean, of course, she lost, but still. While big sis was speaking and cracking jokes they wold cut to Serena and homegirl just did not seem amused. Kinda like "Yeah, whatever. This trophy they gave me is wack because it ain't the #1 and I just want this to be over and to be off this hot azz court."
Well, next up: THE WILLIAMS SISTERS ARE IN THE LADIES DOUBLES FINALS!!! Look out for that on the telly. Cheerio, chaps!

Where the Heck is Italian Vogue?????
By now most of you know that the July 2008 issue of Italian Vogue is to be an "all-Black" issues, prominantly featuring Black models on both the cover and the editorial pages, along with stories on Blacks in arts and entertainment. [See New York Times article here]
This is groundbreaking considering the virtual LOCK OUT of Black models on the runway the past few years. Used to be you'd see Tyra, Naomi, Mounia, Veronica or 3 or 4 of their protogees walking the runway in any given show. Now Black models are speaking out about being deliberately excluded from these shows.
Ain't it something that ITALIAN VOGUE is the one to take a stand on this issue? I mean, don't we live in what's supposedly the most DIVERSE NATION ON EARTH? What's up with American Vogue?....Oh yes, they're too busy putting up SAVAGE BEAST imagery on their covers for kicks (remember the LeBron James one???).
In any case, your friend G-n-B has been looking high and low and can't find this joint on the newsstands for bookstores anywhere. HOLLA AT ME PLEAS, IF YOU KNOW WHERE WE CAN GET IT?????
VENUS AND SERENA PLAY WIMBLEDON TODAY!
For the THIRD time, Venus and Serena Williams will face each other in the Wimbledon Tennis finals today. Tune in to NBC at 9am.
I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I think it's FANTASTIC that these to sisters (and yes, I mean SISTAHS too!) have excelled so much in their careers. It's a win-win situation for Black folk cause you know that now matter what A BLACK WOMAN'S GONNA WIN!
On the other hand, who do you root for? The two Wimbeldon titles that Serena has already were won against her sister. Hmmm......I ain't trying to start nothin', but there has been speculation as to whether Venus just kinda "let" her sister win in order to big her up. For Venus's part, she's responded by saying she was highly offended at even the implication because it implies she's not professional.
However, let's say she did throw it for her little sis? So what!? If anything, the fact that no matter what, despite all the haters, they have each other's back - that's good enough for me.
Tell me what ya'll think!

YOUNG BLACK JEW TRIES TO MAKE PEACE IN BROOKLYN
Check out this interesting news story about a young Hasidic man, who happens to also be of African-American descent. [click here]
What do you think?
Some of my thoughts were something like this…
- Dude looks like my cousin!
- Why he gotta be a “Black Jew”? They never label people “white Jews”.
- Why is it always incumbent on Black people to be the peacemakers?
- I believe it when they say he’s caught some flack. I can speak for my own best, but I think both culture’s can be unforgiving (as if there’s anything he should be ashamed or “forgiven” for!).
- Sometimes hate reading other people’s stupid comments on blogs, but one idiot wrote on the Daily News site about him having it bad enough being Black and now he’s “trying to be a Jew.” First of all, he doesn’t have to TRY to be Jewish, if one reads the article you see that he would be considered a Jew by birth since his mother is Jewish, as well as his maternal grandmother. Second, we shouldn’t forget that places in Africa and the so-called Middle East are mentioned WAY more times in the bible than places like Russia or Germany. Yet when we think of someone who is Jewish, we tend to have a picture of a European in mind. There are plenty of African and African-descended Jews – who are NOT converts, but born Jews.
Well, shalom G-N-B fans.....
OBAMA IS GULLY! PROOF VIA TRANSLATION
Okay, I know this is a "flashback" of sorts, Obama on "Good Morning America" responding to those negative ads featuring his wife a while back, but you know I been under cover for a while....
Still, I wanna offer you the "Grits-N-Butta Translation Services" - FREE OF CHARGE! That's right. Because as poised, gracious, and diplomatic as Obama is, his response seemed to me like a thinly veiled way of him letting folk know that he's GULLY when need be. Don't believe me? Watch the video and check out the translation that follows (Oh, and two notes: The translation is only of the parts in regards to his wife, but keep watching to hear the Obamas debate about the family dog - So for real!; Also, I apologize for the image of that devil [G.W.B.] at the end. Try to cut it off before you get to it by pressing stop when Good Morning America cuts back to the studio):
OBAMA SEZ: "If they think they're gonna try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, THEY SHOULD BE CAREFUL, because that I find unacceptable."
GNB TRANSLATOR: Don't let the suit and tie fool you. F^*king with my wife is bad fo' ya health. I will bust ya azz!
OBAMA SEZ: "The notion that you start attacking MY WIFE? Or MY FAMILY?...."
GNB TRANSLATOR: And you trying to make sh*t PERSONAL??? Muth&*f#@ker WHAT!?! Iz you SERIOUS?!
OBAMA SEZ: "Michelle is the most HONEST, the BEST person I know..She is one of the most CARING people I know..."
GNB TRANSLATOR: Check it - I know ya'll bi%ch azz punks out there are NOT MAN ENOUGH to get a true QUEEN like I got, but DON'T HATE HER BECAUSE SHE'S BEAUTIFUL and all your women are either fugly "Quaker-Oats-Man"-looking beasts like Barbara Bush or drunk azz hoes like the Bush Twins.
OBAMA SEZ: "Whoever's in charge of the Tennessee GOP needs to think long and hard about the kinda campaign that they wanna run, and I think that's true for everybody, Democrat or Republican."
GNB TRANSLATOR: Again, think about it. Do you REALLY wanna step to me? Giving ALL OF YA'LL fair warning....that's right, I said ALL OF YA'LL, don't care what team you on. What!?
MRS. OBAMA SEZ: "We're trusting that the American voters are ready to talk about the issues, and not talking about the things that have nothing to do with making people's lives better..."
GNB TRANSLATOR: Calm down, boo! Don't let them see the heat! Let me try to cool this situation down by changing the subject and bringing it back to the campaign issues...
OBAMA SEZ: "...but I also think these folks should lay off my wife. Alright. (smiles) Just in case their watching."
GNB TRANSLATOR: Uhmm...that's cool.....but, nah baby. It's okay, I got this. I'ma make it plain - BOTTOM LINE: DON'T LET MY WIFE'S NAME COME OUT CHO' MOUTH. See, my wife is too much of a LADY to bring it to you like that, but that's alright, because it's actually MY ROLE as a strong Black man to be the one to defend her, she's not out here on here alone. I know you not use to seeing a REAL Black man due to all the punks and pretenders on the music videos who treat women like garbage, but unlike them I'm READY, WILLING, AND ABLE to step up to the plate. Believe that.
G-N-B'S THOUGHTS:
I LOVE THIS MAN!!! I LOVE THIS COUPLE!!!!! BLACK LOVE PEOPLE, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING IF YOU CAN GET IT!!
AND isn't Robin Roberts looking good these days, especially after battling cancer. The short hair kinda suits her. I feel like she has a connection with the Obama's that helped elicit their comfortable and candid response and a little fun banter. Let's keep an eye out for this journalist, because you know the powers that be don't like it too tough when a reporter shows too much love to constructive Black folk.

ANDERSON COOPER TRYING TO GET HIS SWIRL ON???
Check him out the other night trying to mac to CNN all-star Donna Brazile - ON AIR (and I don't think he was joking, ya'll. But who could blame him, Donna got it going on)...….
What ya’ll think? Would she give ole’ albino boy a chance? Remember, he was the first mainstream reporter to do justice to the Hurricane Katrina tragedy and publicly call the rest of the media and Bush on their bulls^&t…..And he did seem to have her kinda stuttering at the end. Hmmmm…….

Obama Primary Victory Speech
It's been nearly 3 months since my last post ya'll, but this week's victory brought me out of my slumber. Here's the man himself, more gracious and beautiful than his competitors can ever dare to dream. If ya missed it, hear it go......
Notice how, even after Bitchery Clinton spent FOREVER in her speech that night, still trying to convince people she was the better candidate even though she LOST, and didn't do jack didly to really acknowledge Obama at all.....and when Old Fart McCain was talking grimey about Obama that same night....OBAMA STILL GAVE THEM BOTH POSITIVE SHOUT OUTS DURING HIS OWN VICTORY SPEECH. And remember ya'll, Billary is the same she-devil that made those RFK assasination comments about him and McFart was the one talkin' bout Obama as the candidate of Al-Q.
It takes a REAL MAN to be able to brush his shoulders off like he did, basically say "Bump ya'll. I'm not gonna stoop to your gutter level. I won. I'ma keep it moving. Peace!"

Obama Keeps it Real on Race.....
This week's speech in Philly on race will be one that colleges and universities, parents and grandparents, will be talking to youngins about for years. Obama kept it real....real intelligent! It's been a while since I've witnessed anyone articulate America's racial divide from the perspective of African-Americans AND whites they way he did. If you didn't catch it, here it go...
Now if you heard or read this whole speech in it's entirety (not just the media soundbites), yet see no value in it, or you're still caught up thinking about Rev. Wright, then I have to say that you're pretty much stuck on stupid. Obama's spoke about something so much more beyond the Rev's words, to go deep into the conditions in our society that would breed those type of sentiments. This is something many of us don't want to discuss or think about, but as Obama said, ignoring the race problem in America won't make it go away. While other politicians are pussy-footing around the race issue, or using race as a way to feed off of people's prejudices to get votes or support, Obama is putting this issue out in the open in an honest objective way so that we can be first AWARE that it's still a problem, to inspire a DIALOGUE about it, in order to begin to address MISCONCEPTIONS and INJUSTICE in a way that leads to HEALING.
By the way, now more than ever I see Barack as a shining, brilliant star. When this Rev Wright stuff came out, he could have run away from this issue like a punk-azz marc, but instead he not only addressed it, distinguishing himself from his reverend's comments without dogging him or selling him out, and then TURNED THIS INTO AN OPPORTUNITY TO SCHOOL the American public on their dirty laundry. I mean, he put RACE IN YO' FACE, which I know the enemy did not expect him to do.
By the way, I hope that for all of you negroes who got on Barack for not talkin' about "Black issues" or "The Black Agenda" or "Black problems" can calm the phuk down now.

This Says It All.....
LOL!!!!! Word! That chic is delusional....and she trying to play Obama and the public for the okey-doke too. Maybe if she says he's in the vice-presidential position long enough (and maybe clicks her heels three times), it will really happen. Poor child still doin' that Hucka-math......
Obama on MSNBC Tonight!!!!
BREAKING NEWS:
Tune in to MSNBC at 10pm eastern standard time TONIGHT to see Barack Obama on "Hardball" with Chris Matthews.
You may have already heard that Obama is being called the winner for Mississippi, and this edition of the TV show is at a special time. You know that they just don't do this for just anybody!
What will he say? Will he respond to the madness? Will Matthews try to faze him? I gotta get up early, but I'm doing jumping jacks trying to keep myself awake to watch this......
Old Hag Politico Talks Grimy About Obama
So no disrespect to Geraldine Ferraro (she did make history as the first female VP democratic candidate back in the 80s, and she's not doing too well health-wise these days), but WTF?!!!??
Check out what she had to say about Obama only getting this far because he's Black [click here for this bullcrap].......
then see how she practically DARES someone to step to her about it at the risk of being called a reverse racist [click here for the audacity of hag].
In case you missed the dis, she's basically calling Obama an affirmative action candidate who's not really qualified for the job.
Now, it just so happens that Ferraro is a big Clinton supporter, playing a great role as part of her campaign's finance committee. Do you remember how Clinton got on Obama about renouncing Farakhan in the last debate? Well, this woman has yet to do the same in regards to her bitter friend. The most Clinton has done is say that she "disagrees." Then her mammy....er, uhm......I mean campaign manager Maggie Williams actually out and out defends Ferraro in public. Which would seem to indicate Clinton actually AGREES with this crazy statement despite what she says, but is letting the dirt come from somebody else's mouth.
And yet Samantha Power was removed from the Obama campaign for saying off the record that Clinton was a "monster." I don't know about you, but I think the old hag's comments are ten times worse than what that Power chic said.
OH, BY THE WAY: Did anybody catch how Chris Matthews on MSNBC kept referring to Ferraro as "he" when he was talking about her statements tonight? If this turns into a big deal, remember you heard it hear first! G-n-B giving ya the scoop!
Two States Don't Stop No Show....
So let's recap:
Clinton claims victory in 3 out of 4 of last week's primaries, and the media and her supporters practically party in the streets about the "underdog" breaking Obama's 11 state winning streak.
BUT HOLD UP, WAIT A MINUTE!
What did she really win? Here's the numbers before and after last week's primaries....
BACK ON FEBURARY 26
Obama: 1, 192 delegates
Clinton: 1, 036 delegates
NOW, AS OF MARCH 12
Obama: 1,379 delegates
Clinton: 1,230 delegates
[source]
Keep in mind that these current numbers only include the delegates Clinton and Obama got in the Texas primary, which is exactly the same since the results were so close - 92 delegates each, despite her "win." On top of that, the delegates alloted from the Texas caucuses, which Obama won with a significant margin, haven't been added to these numbers yet. This will increase his lead even more.
So ultimately, despite all the media "oohs" and "aahs" about Clinton's comeback, OBAMA WILL ACTUALLY INCREASE HIS LEAD!
I mean, how fly is that? Dude doesn't even have to win states to stay in the lead. Which makes you wonder what all the hoopla about Clinton was about. Hmmm. Maybe they were doing that "Hucka-math"..........

I mean, how fly is that? Dude doesn't even have to win states to stay in the lead. Which makes you wonder what all the hoopla about Clinton was about. Hmmm. Maybe they were doing that "Hucka-math"..........

Debrief (with video!): February 26 Democratic Debate
Last night’s debate was a study in desperation. A desperate candidate (Clinton) trying every thing in her power make Obama loose his cool, but yet again, he maintains his composure. I’ve heard some of the press about this debate and it seems some feel that the moderators were harder on Clinton than on Obama. Well, I don’t know about that. But I will share with you my uncensored play-by-play thoughts that I typed as this thang they call a debate flowed on (not ALL my thoughts on EVERYTHING, because I can't type that fast!). If you saw it live, more the better, you’ll know what I’m talking about. If not, guess what!? I included video of the whole debate for you!!!!! (Thank me later...)
- Wow! The moderators got right into it, bringing up Clinton’s change in tone, from seemingly civil in the last debate, so a raving harpy at rallies and public forums just before this debate.
- You know, as she talks, all calm now, I know that what she’s been trying to do is start a lot of -ish outside the debate room, in order to try and get him riled up and on the defensive when he comes into the debate on television. So if he simply defends himself, he looks crazy and she sit backs and looks cool and presidential.
- Classy: Obama says he takes Clinton at her word (about all the mess she’s been talking in the media lately) and moves on. “I’d like to move on to health care,” he says. Power move! As if to say “You will not transfer your negative shit to me, bitch!” He doesn’t go to her level because he knows he can’t win DOWN THERE!
- See how he talks about the difference in their healthcare plans without making personal attacks or threats towards her?
- And he says: he’s gotten a lot of negative attacks without “wining about it”, he just figures it’s politics.
- Look at her juvenile debate tactic: She blabs on forever, Obama responds, moderators wanna be fair and move on, but she says, “No, this is too important” and just makes up her own rules and keeps talking (still re: healthcare).
- Now NAFTA…
- What????? Snidely complaining about always getting the first question asked of her (and simultaneously NOT addressing the issue)???? Referring to a “Saturday Night Live” sketch and saying maybe we should ask Mr. Obama if he’d like a pillow, basically dissing the moderators in the process???? Now ya’ll heard the grumbles and boos from the audience, no? This bitch has lost her dang mind, don’t give a shit what she says, how it sounds, who it offends, because she knows her times is up. What’s Obama gonna say?....
- Hey-o! He goes right to the issues and ignores her nasty baiting.
- By the way, if you the chic with the most experience and the one “ready on day one,” why can’t you be ready to answer these questions first??? Just a thought.
- His response? Classy and FLAWLESS.
- Look at Tim Russert. He ain’t no joke. Ya’ll see the 5 million Billary quotes he pulled proving her supporting NAFTA in the past, and now she’s switching it up? You go Tim!
- Tim’s not letting her bulldoze! She’s trying to switch it to being Obama’s stance on NAFTA, but Tim’s steady saying, Naw! We talking about YOU!!!! Stick to explaining what YOU said.
- And Obama just sitting back in the cut calm letting this witch make herself look bad and sweat it out.
- Tim to Clinton: As a NY senator, you pledged 200,000 new jobs, but there’s been a net loss of 30,000 jobs in NY. Tim does it again with the zingers. Oh snap!
- Look at her response: She says she thought someone else was gonna be in the White House. That’s her excuse for breaking her promise. Gimme a break! How you gonna talk about being ready to be Commander and Chief if your major plans and promises are based on such contingencies. So then what you gonna say if you’re president and you don’t get the senators or congressmen in that you want. You gonna use that excuse and blame them when we’re all still itching and scratching to see the doctor because your health care plans didn’t come through?
- So glad that he addressed her continuing references to his opposition to the war as simply “a speech.”
- He is just an inspiration to those who are trying to succeed in a field with fresh or different ideas yet being put down.
- THE "BUS IN THE DITCH" ANALOGY. On point!
- Uh oh this “Will you re-invade if things fall apart in Iraq?” is a toughy. I hope Obama has a good come-back….
- Response: If there is a threat to the us there, then yes I reserve the right to defend us. Okay, that’s reasonable.
- BREAK
- Moderators show video clip (mistakenly) of Billary’s mocking of Obama, talking sarcastically about “unity” and “the sky will open and light come down” blah blah…
- Surprised that Obama’s response is simply taking it in stride as just an attempt at humor on her part.
- Glad he still made a point of saying that he’s not all words, he’s made visible change in people’s lives.
- Thank you! He’s finally addressing the fact that she keeps including her experience of first lady in her total experience. He says: you can’t take credit for all the good things that happened during his administration and not take responsibility for the ideas that are crappy.
- Obama says that what he wants to do as president won’t be hope alone. He wants to (not a verbatim quote) “mobilize the American people so that they start paying attention to what their country is doing. And that is not silly!” Excellent point Obama! Clinton is not a unifier. She can’t cooperate with the senate/congress in past, so how is she gonna get stuff moving now or in the future.
- Tim to Billary: Why ain’t you showing us where the money comes from?
- Wow. Her response that she can’t “get it together” now and not explaining why, and not explaining why she has to wait till she’s the nominee….weak.
- Moderator to Obama: Louis Farrakhan backs Obama for president. Wow! This is meant to be the H-Bomb, the thing that shakes Obama up. Bringing up anti-Semitic remarks, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, etc…..
- Obama says: This support was not solicited, he can’t stop somebody from saying that they think he’s a good guy. But before moderators can even barrage him with Farrakhan quotes, he cuts them off and states how he has already shown that he’s denounce some things the man has said in the past….Although Barack seemed thrown off for a second at first, as always, he still kept his composure and responded confidently in the end.
- So now, because Obama doesn't seem to reject his support outright, Clinton sees her opportunity to come in and show herself as the one who WOULD reject (using example from rejecting support of anti-semetic independent supporters in NYC), and I guess in her mind, makes her better than him.
- Now she’s making an issue of his choice of words. But look at his response! Cool again, like “Look chic, ‘reject’ or ‘denounce,’ whatever. The minister hasn't given me any formal or material offer of support to 'reject' in the first place. But fine, I'll say denounce, you ignoramous. You still not gonna get me tripped up on this one.” And check how the audience is feeling him on this one, on how silly she looks taking issue over the wording. Puh-lease! You can’t faze him Billary!!!! (Ya'll know this thing had me busting out my thesaurus? For the record "reject" is indeed a synonym for "denounce.")
- BREAK
(Around this time I started getting sleepy, was too sleepy to type alot)
- Did she mess up the name of the potential new Russian leader, saying something like "whatever" his name is??? O-kay.......
- Some closing remarks, but I gots to go to bed…..ZZZZZZZZZZZ
