Obama and People Thrown Under the Bus

by alvic63, Sun May 04, 2008 at 12:17:24 AM EST

Something about Obama's reaction to Wright last week has recently struck me as odd and disconcerting.

During his praised Philadelphia speech on race, Obama stated, "I can no more disown [Rev. Wright] than I could my white grandmother..." Well, last week it seems that he disowned him.

Does this mean his white grandmother will be next to be thrown under the bus in order for him to pursue his political ambitions?

They just don't get it. (2.00 / 2)

All those kool aid drinking delegates, superdelegates, popular voters, Primary voters, caucus voters, elected Democrats, DNC chairs, ex-presidents, activists, liberals, Citizens, elitists.....

Only we here on MyDD know the truth.

His grandmother had a crazy press junket?


by Bobby Obama on Sun May 04, 2008 at 12:29:43 AM EST

Actually... (1.50 / 2)

If you bothered to do some research you'd know that when he says "white grandmother" he's making a drug reference to his past cocaine use.

I'd still have my graphics. (none / 0)

I'm sorry if I missed the snark.

there was diary about Bill causing a mob scene somewhere, and I said, why did people freak out, did he flirt with an intern.  And someone was screamed at me and troll rated me.  So, every side misses something.

Billy Shaheen? (2.00 / 2)

Look, I don't get this. You BO supporters keep bringing Billy Shaheen over and over again. He stepped down back in the first half of December, less than 2 days after the remarks!

The man is a longtime NH Dem operative, a governor's spouse and he apologized. Get over it.

Btw, if you keep bringing him, you may find yourselves, either now or in the GE, dealing with the drug issue. I mean, everybody still acts as if it's off the table, but there may still be voters (especially white blue collar) that would question a president's drug use. Just for you to know.

there are two sides to every coin (2.00 / 1)

I still hear about Samantha Power, even though, like you say, she resigned.

Re: there are two sides to every coin (2.00 / 1)

Samantha Power was less than two months ago:) And she was a direct policy adviser to Obama that reflected the inner campaign perspective. Shaheen was a state coordinator that never worked from the Clinton headquarters.

However, I'm not pushing it, hope others will restrain as well.

Re: there are two sides to every coin (none / 0)

Hey, the way I look at it, if Bill Sheehen brought up the drug thingy now...it would be mild after all we have finally learned about the "real" Obama in the past few weeks...
Personally, what Sheehen said was true, what's the big deal, I ask you...gonna hear much, much more on this  should this arse become the nominee..

"but there may still be voters (especially white blue collar) that would question a president's drug use."

If true independents gave bush a pass in 2000 for his  cocaine use, then obama will receive a pass from the same people.

I surely hope so. However, Bush never admitted it.

I hadn't heard of "white grandmother" as a euphemism for Coke before, but that's some badass snark...
