Watch Obama explain why he sometimes takes political punches without firing back.
(CNN) – Sen. Barack Obama used a question during a campaign event Saturday to explain his unusual approach to politics.
“How do we get rid of that huge divisiveness in this country?,” a voter asked Obama in Anderson, Indiana.
“The president sets the tone,” the Illinois senator said before explaining the bipartisan approach he’d take if elected to the White House.
“But, I’m also going to try to show this during the course of the campaign,” he added. “Sometimes you take some hits. Even during this campaign, I’ve been taking some hits.”
“One of the things that I learned in the school yard was: the folks that are talking tough all the time, they’re not always that tough. If you’re really tough, you’re not always looking to try to start a fight. If you’re really tough, sometimes you just walk away. If you’re really tough, you just save it for when you really need it,” Obama said.
“I’m not interested in fighting people just for the sake of scoring political points.” “If I’m going to fight somebody it’s going to be fighting over the American people and what they need.”
Obama’s effort to explain his sometimes non-confrontational approach came on the same day that his rival Sen. Hillary Clinton proposed a Lincoln-Douglas style debate. Prior to Clinton’s challenge, Obama said in a television interview set to air Sunday that he would not agree to any more debates with Clinton before the May 6 primaries in North Carolina and Indiana. After learning of Clinton’s proposal, the Obama campaign maintained that the Illinois senator would not participate in any more debates until after May 6.
It doesn’t shock me that this hasn’t been discussed yet, but what do yall think of this issue? The man who has been Obama’s spiritual mentor for twenty years, the man who married him and his wife, who baptized his children, is a raving racist lunatic. He has said from the pulpit that the government invented AIDS to kill black people, 9/11 was “the chickens coming home to roost, “God damn America,” and so on. What does this tell you about Obama? Two things have lead me to get over my qualms about McCain: The New York times sliming him unfairly and the thought of somebody like this being elected to lead America. It is a truly terrifying thought, I’m ordering my McCain bumper stickers now.
well, it doesn’t really terrify me at all. i just think his conversion was a poor political move. i mean, he said the only reason he joined a church is because he saw the organizational potential that churches had in black communities.
what does that tell you about him? It tells me the whole premise of his campaign is bs. It tells me he was willing to get in bed with a radical, racist lunatic to further his political career. So much for Change, Hope, Uniting. He is not a post racial healer, he is simply another far left politican that happens to be a very engaging speaker.

I agree with you except that I do think it is deeply disconcerting that he would associate with someone like that for political gain. Who you choose as your spiritual mentor says a lot.

Tough call [Mark Steyn]
Richard Landes has some thoughts on Obama, Wright and the prophetic tradition, in the course of which he recounts the following:
Although Reverend Wright has no problem attributing paranoia and stupidity to the “group of patriots in power”, he does not seem to have much awareness of the power of paranoid thinking on his own ministry, and the terrible consequences of taking refuge in this thinking. And this is, indeed, a pervasive problem in the Black community.
I had my first glimpse of this problem in 2000, when, as the head of the Center for Millennial Studies, I sat on a panel with three rappers and a black academic colleague, discussing the apocalyptic themes in Hip-hop. The AIDS conspiracy came up repeatedly. Finally, a member of the audience asked, “How many on the panel believe these AIDS conspiracies?” The three rap artists all said they did. I said I did not. The African American professor said:
I don’t want to answer that, because if I say I do, I’ll lose credibility with my colleagues, and if I say I don’t, I’ll lose credibility with the brothers.
The implications of this reluctance to speak replicate closely the dilemma of Barack Obama…
Yes, but it’s a dilemma that is wholly alien to the overwhelming majority of American voters. Liberals love to play these games with social conservatives, asking Republican candidates whether they think the Book of Genesis is the literal truth, or they believe in the Rapture. But there’s wiggle room in stuff that hasn’t yet happened or was all a long time ago. When you’re questioned about whether the US government cooked up Aids in a laboratory in the late Seventies to kill black people, you’re being asked whether you accept the objective reality of the world we live in. That’s not a good thing to make a “dilemma” of.
The Reverend Wright is, to modify Cole Porter, not “dilemma” but “da limit” – a point beyond which Americans will willingly accompany Obama. So the simple fact that an absurd proposition for most people is a painful dilemma for the Senator has the effect of distancing him from those whose votes he needs. Rather than disown the kook he’s spent 20 years listening to, Obama made his gran’ma the issue. Judith Apter Klinghoffer writes:
Does he have any reason to believe she was a “typical” prejudiced “white person?” No. The opposite is true. Unlike Barack himself, his grandparents were active anti-racist. So much so, that they had difficulty fitting into Texas’ racist society of the early 1960s.
He writes(pp.18-21):
. . . At a bank where she worked, Toot (his grandmother’s nickname)made the acquaintance of the janitor, a tall and dignified black World War II vet she remembers only as Mr. Reed. While the two of them chatted in the hallways one day, a secretary in the office stormed up and hissed that Tood should never, ever, “call no nigger ‘Mister.’” Not long afterworlds, Toot would find Mr. Reed in a corner of the building weeping quietly to himself. . . .
They (grandparents) decided Toot would keep calling Mr. Reed “Mister,” . . . . Grams began to decline invitations from coworkers to go out for a beer, telling them he had to get home to keep the wife happy.
He goes on to tell a story about his 11 year old mother who played in the front yard with a young Black girl. Neighborhood Children gathered outside the picket fence shouting: “Nigger lover!” and “Dirty Yankee!” The grandmother tried to get them into the house. The grandfather went further:
Gramps was beside himself when he heard what had happened. He interrogated my mother, wrote down names. The next day he took the morning off from work to visit the school principal. He personally called the parents of some of the offending children to give them a piece of his mind.
No, his grandfather did not say that he could no more disown racist whites than disown the white community.
Obama’s gran’ma was consistently better than the times required. Jeremiah Wright is a lot worse than the times require. There is, in Gran’ma’s conduct, the hope of change (as Obama would say). In Wright’s, there is none. It’s not difficult and all the portentous self-regarding rhetoric in the world can’t make it so.

WASHINGTON — Barack Obama pocketed the support of at least four Democratic convention superdelegates on Wednesday, building on the momentum from a convincing North Carolina primary victory. Rival Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed to remain in the race “until there’s a nominee.”
The former first lady declined to say whether that meant through the roll call of the states at the Democratic National Convention this summer.
Clinton also disclosed that she had loaned her campaign an additional $6.4 million in recent weeks, evidence that her once front-runner campaign was in deep trouble.
She told reporters the loans were a sign of her commitment to her quest for the White House. She earlier loaned herself $5 million as she struggled to keep up with a better-financed Obama campaign.
Obama, now the front-runner, was home in Chicago during the day as his aides spread word that he would soon begin campaigning in states likely to be pivotal in the fall campaign. They also relayed word of the four endorsements, expected to be made public later in the day. Both disclosures were meant to signal fresh confidence that the nomination was quickly coming into his possession after a grueling marathon across 15 months and nearly all 50 states.
Clinton’s appearance in Shepherdstown, W.Va., was meant to underscore her determination to stay the course. She also arranged a private meeting later in the day with uncommitted superdelegates.
Jeanette Council, an undecided superdelegate from North Carolina, said she decided over the weekend to endorse Obama but waited until after voters cast their ballots to announce it on Wednesday.
“I just think Senator Obama is the face of America,” Council, a commissioner from Cumberland County, said in an interview with The Associated Press. “When I looked at it, I was so excited at the fact that he was bringing in so many new people and there was an excitement around the campaign.”
Clinton won the Indiana primary narrowly early Wednesday, but the overall impact of the night’s two contests was to lengthen Obama’s lead in national convention delegates without fundamentally altering the nature of the race. The results also prompted former Sen. George McGovern, a Clinton backer of several months, to urge her to drop out while endorsing her rival.
Obama has 1,840.5 delegates to 1,688 for Clinton in The Associated Press tally. It takes 2,025 delegates to win the nomination in Denver this summer.
Clinton told reporters it would take 2,209 or 2,210 delegates to win the nomination, not the 2,025 in use by the Democratic National Committee. The higher total would come into play if the delegations were seated from Michigan and Florida, two states that held primaries outside the time frame that party rules required.
The former first lady campaigned for months to have new votes in both states, although lately has said she merely wants the delegations seated.
Obama’s campaign manager, David Plouffe, said on Tuesday night it was possible a compromise could be worked out to seat the Michigan delegates. He did not mention Florida.
Asked at her news conference whether she intended to remain in the race through the convention roll call, Clinton said, “I’m staying in this race until there’s a nominee and obviously I am going to work as hard as I can to become that nominee.”
Clinton backers appeared on early morning television programs to stress that she was still in the race and to urge party leaders and elected officials known as superdelegates not to flee to Obama.
“This candidacy and this campaign continues on,” Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson said on CNN.
Obama was 184.5 delegates shy of the number needed to secure the Democratic nomination, his campaign finally steadying after missteps fiercely exploited by the never-say-die Clinton.
His campaign dropped broad hints it was time for the 270 remaining unaligned superdelegates to get off the fence and settle the nomination.
In a counter to Wolfson, Obama communications director Robert Gibbs said: “The delegate math gets exceptionally harder for Senator Clinton every day.”
In a memorandum to superdelegates, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe reminded them of the delegate math necessary to secure the nomination. He said Clinton would need to win 68 percent of the remaining delegates to win _ an extremely unlikely scenario, made harder by her poor performance Tuesday.
“With the Clinton path to the nomination getting even narrower, we expect new and wildly creative scenarios to emerge in the coming days,” Plouffe wrote. “While those scenarios may be entertaining, they are not legitimate and will not be considered legitimate by this campaign or millions of supporters, volunteers and donors.”
It was in the superdelegate arena _ even more than in the scattered primaries left _ that the Democratic hyperdrama was bound to play out.
Clinton vowed to compete tenaciously for West Virginia next week and Kentucky and Oregon after that, and to press “full speed on to the White House.”
But she risked running on fumes without an infusion of cash, and made a direct fundraising pitch from the stage in Indianapolis. “I need your help to continue our journey,” she said.
And she pledged anew that she would support the Democratic nominee “no matter what happens,” a vow also made by her competitor.
But her campaign schedule belied any immediate reconciliation. West Virginia holds its primary on Tuesday. Kentucky and Oregon hold their contests a week later. Puerto Rico is scheduled for June 1 followed promptly by Montana and South Dakota on June 3.
Her campaign is making the case that those contests are crucial to her and will press Democratic party officials to resolve disputed contests in Michigan and Florida, which she won but whose results the party voided because the primaries were held ahead of the schedule set by Democratic Party rules.

McCain’s policies are 90% like Bush’s policies and Obama’s policies are 90% like Hillary’s policies.

Reply Favorite Flag as abusive Posted 05:38 AM on 05/08/2008Everyone knows the race is over except Hillary and some of her supporters. Even her surrogates could not hide the disappointment on their faces. Super delegates are holding out for a few reasons.
-Clinton is going to win WV big so they don’t want it to look to bad for Obama.
-Clinton is negotiating with the Obama campaign with assuming their debt. I don’t know how this gets past FEC rules but experts say it is done all the time.
-Super delegates are going to wait until Obama clinches the pledge delegate lead on May 20th to let Obama win on a high note after winning OR.
Clinton supporters the fact that your candidate is not going hard after Obama is the surest sign that she knows it’s over. If she try’s to continue her negative campaigning it will just provoke the super delegates in declaring more quickly. She is just trying to get the best deal she can before she drops out or loses on delegates. The delegate math is so daunting right now that even if they add FL and MI it will not matter so they will probably decide to seat them the first week in June.

Reply Favorite Flag as abusive Posted 04:37 AM on 05/08/2008MORE things for the obamans to be in denial about:
Never mind that Obama chose the neoconservative Lieberman to be his “assigned” mentor in the U.S. Senate. Or that “he posted a long article on the liberal blog Daily Kos criticizing attacks against lawmakers who voted for right-wing Supreme Court nominee John Roberts.” Or that he opposed an amendment to the Bankruptcy Act that would have capped credit card interest rates at 30 percent. Or that he told Time Magazine’s Joe Klein last year that he’d never given any thought to Al Gore’s widely discussed proposal to link a “carbon tax” on fossil fuels to targeted tax relief for the nation’s millions of working poor (Joe Klein, “The Fresh Face,” Time, October 17,2006).
Reply Favorite Flag as abusive Posted 03:07 AM on 05/08/2008Liebermann was assigned to him, not the other way around.
Yes, how dare he stick up for his democrat colleagues.
He opposed the Act because he thought 30% was too high and wanted to lower it further
Carbon Tax is stupid. The corps. would pass those taxes onto us by increasing prices.
Barry O!
Reply Favorite Flag as abusive Posted 05:30 AM on 05/08/2008Yeah he’s not mr. Perfect but surely he is too smart to follow most if not all of the advice that Lieberman would give him as President. I mean I understand, I think LIiberman is a disaster (he might as well be a republican) too, in fact I believe he may be the hypothesized Israeli mole codenamed “Mega”, but I think your analysis is fairly square.
He is thoughtful and seems to have concept of other cultures unlike the current Nimrod of presidencies who sees only solutions in armed conflict, the military (even thnough the military itself disagrees generally) and all-out war on civil liberties. Sounds waaaaay too familiar of awful mistakes of the past.
With regards to the Bankruptcy Act, I think we all know that the only REAL change on that issue comes from Ron Paul so I don’t see why singling out Obama works, however if he is truly a new JFK for the country, then he SHOULD go after the Fed and the iron grip of the NSC, the Pentagon and the intelligence community. Let’s hope they don’t put a lone gunman on him, eh?
Just pick a VP already, Obama, and congratulations!!!
Reply Favorite Flag as abusive Posted 05:00 AM on 05/08/2008Please Lieberman was never Obama’s “mentor” that is a complete lie. He is campaigning with McCain if you haven’t noticed.
Yes Obama thought 30% was egregiously high, the bill was written by credit card companies like the punitive bankruptcy law bill Hillary voted for and I must agree with Obama’s judgment.
Reply Favorite Flag as abusive Posted 04:48 AM on 05/08/2008All the gloating… so cool. Obama mania, indeed.
Here is the truth. Get out your name calling, foul mouthed retorts, cause here it goes.
Ferraro was right. Obama won in the red states, where the majority of whites are republicans. That enhanced the voting power of the AAs and activists. Hence, Obama won the Deep South, and the Desert West – solid red states that aren’t going blue in Nov.
4% turnout in the caucus states. Big victories in Miss, Ala, Carolinas: the states of teh Old Confederacy. Didn’t any of you brilliant Obama worshipers ever wonder why a Black man was winning so resoundingly in the most racist states in the country? Do you really believe Obama will carry the Deep South, or the Desert West.
Obama was getting the white vote at first. But, by Feb., his share of the white vote was down to about 40%. And, while the AAs aren’t going Republican, the white vote may very well go for McCain, or stay home.
Those who see Obama as the be all seem to have no idea how deeply offensive his racist ties are to white voters. At least 50% admitted this in exit poll after exit poll. It isn’t racism AGAINST Obama, folks.
It is the OJ effect. White people just aren’t willing to say the guy wasn’t guilty, just cause he’s a brother.

Take a standWhat should be the U.S. military strategy in Afghanistan?
OBAMA:
Increase troop levels
Evidence that the opinion of Barack Obama is:Increase troop levels
Some of the troops now in Iraq should be sent to Afghanistan
Posted on 4/30/2007 10:40 AM by PilchK
From a CNN Report:
Some of the troops now in Iraq should be sent to Afghanistan, where he said the Iraq war has had “disastrous consequences” for the battle against the al Qaeda terrorist network.
Also, from Obama’s Iraq War De-escalation Act of 2007:
De-escalates the War with Phased Redeployment: Commences a phased redeployment of U.S. troops out of Iraq not later than May 1, 2007, with the goal that all combat brigades redeploy from Iraq by March 31, 2008, a date consistent with the expectation of the Iraq Study Group. This redeployment will be both substantial and gradual, and will be planned and implemented by military commanders. Makes clear that Congress believes troops should be redeployed to the United States; to Afghanistan; and to other points in the region. A residual U.S. presence may remain in Iraq for force protection, training of Iraqi security forces, and pursuit of international terrorists.
ESCALATION IN AFGHANISTAN

You are tossing false accusations at ME, what makes you think anyone would think you aren’t tossing false accusations all the time?
