Obama in Blue/Stark Reality Mode Today

Looks like somebody forwarded the now-infamous Pocket Guide to the Obamaniac Behavior Cycle to Teh Precious Himself:

Obama: ‘Be Nice to Clinton Supporters.’

PORTLAND, Ore. — Sen. Barack Obama showed every sign of confidence that he has secured the Democratic nomination during a high-dollar fundraiser at a posh club here last night.

Obama predicted a victory in Oregon, and said he believed the resulting delegate haul would “put us over the top.”

“We will be able to say we have won a majority,” he said. “But we have a lot of work to do ahead of us.” …

At the fundraiser, he told a boisterous crowd of about 300 supporters that a win in November would require a unified Democratic Party, adding: “That means all of you have to be nice to Clinton supporters.”

Excuse me for just a moment…

Whew! Lemme compose myself here… My eyes are watering after that knee-slapper. Anybody got a Kleenex? Ah, thanks.

Now, where was I?

Oh, yes — I was just about to suggest you click the WaPo link and browse the hundreds of comments, most of which are along the lines of:

Be nice? Please…that’s about as low-handed as his “sweetie” and “bitter” remarks. A true leader would have praised the Senator for her strength and her dedication to this country. A true leader would have also praised her supporters for their dedication even in the face of huge odds. A true leader he is not. Just a guy who knows how to read a speech and has taken the consumer approach to winning votes. Crowds don’t equate sound judgment. Crowds waved on Hitler. (I’m not saying Obama is Hitler, Obamabots, so chill). Crowds gather to see Paris Hilton. Crowds don’t pay attention to what really happens in elections. It takes individuals to do research, to truly understand a candidate and her/his positions. I wonder how many in the crowd know of Barack’s support of the Bush/Cheney’s Energy Bill that has stripped Oregonians of their rights of self-determination when it comes to liquified natural gas and nuclear power plants. Great for the environment. Great for state’s rights. What a Great Leader.

All you Sen. Obama supporters need to chill out. Nothing you say or do will change the way many Hillary supporters feel about your guy. From the get-go, he has taken every opportunity to bash President Clinton’s administration. For those of us “older women Democrats,” that is a direct slap in the face as we were the ones working the phones, GOTV, doing visibility events for President Clinton. Sen. Obama has shown little if any respect for the only two term Democratic president in my lifetime. He said nothing to his online supporters to tone down the rhetoric spewing from their ranks..frankly, it was the utter hatred and disrespect shown Sen. Clinton by Sen. Obama’s supporters that turned me off to him in the first place. I wanted nothing to do with that group. Later, however, I saw and heard Sen. Obama lie with my own eyes. I witnessed Republican-like tactics. The final straw for me was when he and his supporters refused to allow Michigan and Florida a revote. He reminds me too much of George W. Bush, and I can’t stand GWBush. Needless to say, it’s Hillary or the highway for this voter. Hillary ‘08.

Do the words, “Too Late” mean anything to Barack Obama? How stupid does he think we are?

No we aren’t Republicans. We are sick and tired disencranchised Democrats who no longer wish to know Barack Obama. See you in November.

Make sure to watch how a few Obama supporters try following their leader’s directive — and how they’re completely canceled out by the ones who cite Clinton supporters’ “bitterness,” “insanity,” and “toxicity,” and call same such terms of endearment as “rabid zombies.” They hit every “mode” on the wheel, one right after another, with monotonous predictability.

By the way… For some reason, I haven’t been able to get the song, “Too Much, Too Little, Too Late” out of my head lately. Go figure, eh?
