Barack Obama - The 'Short Change' Candidate

chandra:

courtesy SAJA i just read this:

Obama for President By The Editors of Little India the largest circulated indian paper in the usa:

Little India has decided to break from its tradition of staying out of the primary selections by endorsing Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic Party nomination for president. We take this unusual step as we have come to share his inspiring message and his call for the "fierce urgency of now."
There is something magical and transcendental in this moment about Sen. Barack Obama both for the country and the Indian American community.

T bhai

May be you should send this to SAJA ;)

I've done that, good breakdown.

I've done that, good breakdown.

thanks aaman

chandra you can send this to little india:)

Your analyse is not objective. Obama is the future president of united state. You can pointed out your own misunterpretation of what he said or did, it's your personal view. You will see that America wants the change and Will change all those cynics things that you are saying. Well it's sure that Barack is not perfect, as a human, but he's got the will to overcome all the disasters of our society now and he is supported not only in the united states but all around the world. Thanks for your post.

It is your decision finally. I would request you to read through the links in this page.

How transparently phony can one blog get? LOL! Don't give up your day job people.

PJW

Your vagueness summarises why people support Barack. Vague guys support vague Obama....:-)

Just for balance' sake, you should do a counterpoint on Hillary, or any of the Republican candidates:)

The only way a post or news story like this could be useful is if it included side by side comparisons of every candidate, from Obama to Hillary to Huckabee to McCain. Since you didn't, and since you are a European marketing consultant, my best guess is that this is a paid piece. For the non-paid readers, the question you should be asking is not how much negative info can you find about one candidate or another, but how much positive.

This isn't a paid piece, but your point is valid, although writers are free to choose to pick on any candidate

There are enough positive pieces on Barack on the internet.In fact it is difficult to find a negative one across the Internet (12% versus 51% for Clinton). My post was to highlight the negatives. The negatives unfortunately are a STRONG contrast to the message of unity and change that the candidate professes. God bless the world if this dilettante is elected!!! George W will be a walk in the park.

I found your article interesting but when I saw as one of your sources the Washington Times, a well known fact challenged right wing newspaper owned by the Moonies, I realized this article is simply a hit piece.

You don't want people to get to know Barack, you want to obfuscate Barack.

Care to respond to any of them?

Agree about your opinion about Wash times. However, there are two points here

a. Did you read the wash times article? Do you feel that some points are outright lies?

b. There are 4 other cases mentioned from other newspapers,including the wash post. Do you disagree with them?

I have a counter point.

Speak with the supporters of other candidates. Tell them that their candidate has flaws and they will agree. Say that to an Obama supporter and they dont agree at all. This is frightening! Obama supporters are so immature that many of them donot even intend to vote in Nov if he weren't the nominee. That is shocking!! Such attraction and support has to have some basis. If it is based on something that is not backed by past action, we are bound to have serious trouble..

chandra:

Such attraction and support has to have some basis.

it is not difficult to trace the reasons for the surge of such voters:)

READ HERE...plus:

* the economy
* body bags
* iraq
* afghanistan
* eroding civil rights (in the guise of homeland insucurity)

...and more

these builds up the new wave of voters disillusioned not only with neoconzix parties and politicians but also those perceived to be their sympathisers and supporters

also as the ROW knows, the difference between republican and democrat policies is cosmetic only...on the richter scale what difference does it make if you suffer under a 8.2 or 8.2;)

i lost an earlier post because the publish from preview still does not work and had to re write it again...

and while at it please check the URL clicks from the interactors (i clicked on several including yours)leads to:

Every politician in a position to run for president of the US has issues. People recognize this. Does his public message contrast with his history any more strongly than that of any of the other candidates? No. Everyone has issues and everyone puts their best foot forward.

If your point is that Obama supporters don't recognize this, you're wrong. They are no more out of touch than Romney supporters, no more naive than Hillary fans, no more ignorant than McCain followers. There are just a lot of them, and that's catching people off guard.

You call Obama supporters immature for not being as interested in voting if their candidate isn't on the ballot. Yet you say nothing about the evangelicals only interested in Huckabee or the Mormons who will be absent if Romney doesn't make the cut. Why not?

If you're not being paid for putting out one sided articles, you need to do a better job understanding and representing the issues before publishing.

Reid

If indeed Obama's supporters recognise his flaws, how can he be the great unity/change candidate that he is made out to be?

Show me one post by Obama supporters that discusses his negatives?

On both of the above counts, Obama supporters fail the test.

I am not bothered about the other candidates because they are anyway being attacked by the media. Barack O is getting a free pass...

BTW, why dont you dispute the links that have been provided?

I can understand voter disaffection but let us not over state it. The biggest concern remains the economy and let us face it, none of the candidates have a clue as to how to get the US out of the mess. Both the GOP and the Dems have no plans to curtailing spend and unless that is done, the US economy will further spiral downwards....afterall, how much reserves of dollars do they expect Asian countries to hold?

In that regard...Barack O came up with a brilliant solution----> Another spending plan. :-).....the final spending plan was approved on Friday and stock markets have lost 10% since then..(in two weeks).....so much for leadership and ideas......

chandra:

elections are won (or lost) over voter dissatisfaction

whoever exploits it to his or her disadvantage will will

the wars dubya and the neoconzix complex has landed the US is a bleeding ulcer that has caused the money drain...it has to be stopped and then only will the economy turn around...

in that obama's clear anti war stand has an edge over hilary's flip-flop

Yes, Obama is reaching out to voter dissatisfaction. However, I dont think this is to do with specific issues as much as to the manner in which politics is run in washington. Having said that, this is my 7th election and almost all candidates who won in the past claimed to wanting to change how washington worked. Nobody seems to have changed anything yet. A good example of how Obama will do is to review Deval Patrick's (non) performance in Mass.

Forecast for Feb 5th (Delegates tally)

BO-50.7
HC-49

(Excl Absentee ballots)

Nobody knows how many ABs have been posted in CA, the higher, the better for HC.

Of course, all polls could be wrong and one of them may just sweep the polls...Good for Dems.......this fraternal fight is dangerous for the party in the long run......

Barack- Forecast range

900-800

HC - Forecast range

770-870

let us see how accurate the polls are

I for one prefers to see HC as pres and BO as vice. But then I can wish all I want, as I am not "naturalized".

the only realistic person who has the potential to turn things around is BO...so I will give up on my idiotic dream about third parties...
