Sen. Barack Obama won the Wyoming Democratic caucus with 68 percent of the vote for his thirteenth win on Saturday.
Obama thanked “all of the people of Wyoming who braved long lines and cold weather to stand for change,” on his website.
On Friday, Obama’s campaign manager, David Plouffe, said in a conference call with reporters that “Senator Clinton is one of the most secretive politicians in America today.”
“She has consistently refused to release her tax returns. They have said they are going to release them around [April] 15, but there is no reason why the prior six years of tax returns couldn’t be released right now.”
Shortly after the call, Clinton’s communications director, Howard Wolfson, released a statement assuring that Clinton will release last year’s tax returns in April; he also said over 20 years of both Bill and Hillary’s tax returns are already public.
CLINTON & OBAMA: UNSTOPPABLE
According to former President Bill Clinton, a ticket pairing between his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama would be “almost unstoppable.”
“She said yesterday and she said the day after her big wins in Texas and Ohio and Rhode Island that she was very open to that and I think she answered explicitly ‘Yes’ yesterday,” said Clinton while campaigning for his wife in Mississippi.
Although Clinton has expressed interest in sharing the ticket with Obama, he said that “it’s premature.”
“You won’t see me as a vice presidential candidate – you know, I’m running for president. We have won twice as many states as Senator Clinton, and have a higher popular vote and I think we can maintain our delegate count,” Obama said in an interview with KTVQ-TV on Friday.
@ Justice66 I wasn’t going to respond to you but I just had to respectfully disagree with you on a few comments you made:
1. “Are u aware that blacks became more prosperous under HIS administration than at any other time?”
This is incorrect. While the entire economy was better during his administration, the income gap between whites and blacks remained staggering and low income blacks actually faired worse during his administration. Economist have studied this at great length, because the perception between how blacks did and how they reality of how blacks did is in stark contrast. There was a great article about this in slate along with many other publications. This is a wide spread misperception.
2. “And while I’m at it, that statement he made about Jesse Jackson wasn’t racist. Black folks need to stop being so dam sensitive all the time”
Bill Clinton’s statement was absolutely racially motivated. His intent was to minimize Obama’s big win by painting him as the “black candidate”. There are plenty of other democrats who have won S. Carolina and lost the nomination. He choose to reference Jessie Jackson for the purpose of race baiting. This is the equivalent of nabbing a big client at your firm only to have the white co-worker you beat out dismiss your success by saying “so what, the last black guy did the same and still never became partner”. It’s not about sensitivity. It’s about recognizing race baiting when you see and not having white people diminish you accomplishments because they are to indignant to accept their own losses.
3. “I can’t go toe to toe with you on who’s passed what bill nor do I think that is that relevant here. Based on his debate performance Obama’s persona isn’t presidental in the slightest”
So your persona in a debate is more important than your ability to get things done in washington. Sorry, but that’s not my criteria for electing a president. Looking tough and getting things done are two different things. I’m not interested in voting for Hillary Clinton’s “tough” persona I rather vote for the candidate with a better track record and plan for this country.
4. “Doctors and big Pharma have what are called lobbyist who pay big bucks to get their way.”
I’m very aware they have lobbyist and so is Hillary Clinton, she has accepted their money, while Obama and Edwards refused it. So I guess your right, they paid her their big bucks and trust me they WILL get their way. You just helped make the case for Obama – thanks.
I’m done w/ this back and forth. I hope I shed some light on your candidate and like I said, I hope all the people who are still undecided spend some time learning more about Obama. There’s a reason why he’s doing so well. It’s not luck, it’s because he’s the right person for the job and he’s more than ready.
#61- Obama’s plan for this country will NEVER be implemented. Why? Because lobbyist run this ship. And I hear that he hasn’t accepted money from Lobbyist, but what about that Renko situation? Is Renko some sort of saint? I don’t know a politican alive that has never accepted “dirty” money at some point and neither do you.
Speaking of persona, ever heard of a guy named Ronal Reagan? His “persona” is what people responded to and he came off as tough (and apparently was too). Obama should he get the nomination, he’ll “look” soft compared to McCain, a war veteran and seasoned politican. Better yet, who do you think the terrorist are more concerned about dealing with, a man with NO military experience (which should be required by ALL presidental candidates IMHO making this debate moot) but that can give a hellva speech or a Republican like McCain?
So if Clinton was race baiting in SC, was Obama “White folks baiting” when he ran that add showing a pic of his white mother just before the vote in Kansas? If you’re gonna call it, you gotta call if fair and square.
From the Journal of Black in Higher Education:
In 1993, when Bill Clinton took office, the median black family income, adjusted for inflation, was $27,731. When Clinton left office in 2000 the median black family income, again, adjusted for inflation, was $36,939. This was a 33 percent jump in black incomes during the Clinton years.
Now, where’s your proof otherwise? Yet another divide and conquer set up that Black folks can’t help falling for.
REDNECKS ALL OVER AMERICA, WHO WON’T SIT DOWN TO LUNCH WITH A BLACK PERSON VOTE FOR THEIR GOOD OLE BOY OBAMA AND PRETEND TO WANT HIM TO BE PRESIDENT, BECAUSE THEY KNOW HE CAN’T WIN!! WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE????
http://www.economist.com/
Mr Obama wants to set up automatic enrollment employee savings accounts (“like a portable 401k”, Mr Goolsbee explains) that would make saving a hassle-free habit.
THIS MEANS THAT ALONG WITH FEDERAL TAXES, FICA TAXES, STATE TAXES, AND HEALTH INSURANCE/DENTAL/VISION/DISABILITY DEDUCTIONS, MR. OBAMA IS GOING TO FORCE YOU TO HAVE MONEY TAKEN OUT OF YOUR MEASLY CHECK TO PUT IN A 401K PLAN FOR RETIREMENT, WHETHER YOU CAN AFFORD IT OR NOT.
MOST 401K PLANS CONSIST MOSTLY OF STOCKS. MEANING THAT YOU ARE AT RISK OF LOSING EVERYTHING IN THE ACCOUNT IF THE COMPANY STOCK YOU PURCHASE GOES DOWN OR THE COMPANY GOES OUT OF BUSINESS. IN 1989 MY COUSIN HAD $28,000 INVESTED IN INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER STOCK. HIS ACCOUNT WENT DOWN IN A MONTH’S TIME TO $28 WHEN THE COMPANY DECLARED BANKRUPTCY. 401K MONEY IS NOT FDIC INSURED LIKE BANK DEPOSITS. THE MONEY IS TOTALLY LINKED TO HOW WELL THE COMPANY DOES. AND YOU NEED TO BE SAVVY ENOUGH TO KNOW HOW TO MOVE MONEY IN AND OUT OF FINANCIAL PRODUCTS (MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS. IT IS LIKE GAMBLING).
WITH LEGISLATION LIKE THIS, I CAN SEE HOW OBAMA RAISES SO MUCH MONEY. COMPANIES WOULD LOVE TO SEE ALL OF AMERICA FORCED TO INVEST IN THEIR COMPANIES.
THE TRUTH ABOUT OBAMA IS COMING OUT LITTLE BY LITTLE.
I lived the most prosperous years of my life under the Clintons. As soon as President Clinton left office in 1999, blacks got laid off in droves. I have not had a good job since, eventhough I have a college degree, and 20 years of software development experience.
that some notable Dems aren’t supporting Clinton is more a testamnent to their lack of backbone than anything else. They are simply playing the political game of looking out for who they are guessing may win the nomination. People are talking about it everywhere, including those at **** PositiveCupid.com **** , which has
become the #1 dating&support community serving herpes, hpv, hiv or
other STD people in the world.
IT WAS BLACK AFRICANS WHO SOLD US INTO SLAVERY! IT WAS BLACK UNCLE TOMS WHO AIDED THE MASSAH TO KEEP US IN SLAVERY! NOW THEY’RE GOING TO USE ANOTHER AFRICAN TO PUT US BACK IN SLAVERY.
WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD ANYONE WANT TO BE A PRESIDENT WITH NO POWER, AND VOLUNTARILY GIVES UP HIS POWER??? LOL LOL I THOUGHT OBAMA WAS INTELLIGENT UNTIL I READ THE BELOW!
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON’T KNOW WHAT GOVT TRANSPARENCY MEANS – IT MEANS THAT OBAMA PLANS TO POST TO ALL AMERICANS, VIA THE INTERNET, EVERYTHING HE DOES AS PRESIDENT TO GIVE THE CITIZENS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK, AND CHALLENGE HOW HE SPENDS EVERY TAX DOLLAR!
NO ONE IS GOING TO DO THAT, EXCEPT WHITE RASCIST WHO WILL STAY ON THE INTERNET, ORGANIZING PROTEST GROUPS TO CHALLENGE EVERY DOLLAR SPENT TO HELP MINORITIES! THIS GUY IS A PIECE OF SPINELESS WORK!
Obama Wants Transparency in Government Via Technology
Obama promised to use technology to make government more transparent. He said he would set up systems to track every federal dollar, government contracts and the ways lobbyists seek to influence legislation.
Obama said he would appoint a chief technology officer to oversee all of this.
The National Priorities Project focuses on the impact of federal spending and other policies at the national, state, congressional district and local levels. It is an example of a transparent government project that relies more on provocative combinations of databases than on clever visualizations. For example, it allows users to determine tradeoffs between federal spending on military projects and a wide range of alternatives, including hiring teachers. The comparisons can be done on a statewide basis or by individual Congressional district.
The last example of citizen-initiated transparent government I’ll cite is Neighborhood Knowledge Los Angeles, a collaboration between UCLA and community activists. Its motto is “neighborhood improvement and recovery is not just for the experts.” They say the staff is “ ..firmly committed to the accountability of making public information broadly accessible and understandable to local communities.”
NKLA provides tools — such as access to the city’s code enforcement MIS — to access property and neighborhood data. It works with neighborhood residents, community organizations, and policymakers to mobilize support for community improvement in the Los Angeles area.
Obama is promising all kinds of jobs to black politicians who will switch to his side. That’s why the likes of Jesse Jackson are supporting him. It is all about them. To hell with the black and poor middle class.
The rich blacks think that obama can stop the justice department from taking them to court. I bet Bonds, Snipes, OJ, marion, and all the rest think they won’t be prosecuted if obama is in there.
WRONG!!!!!!!!!
I do not believe it prudent to elect Sen. Obama (because of his inexperience and my belief that he IS a Trojan Horse for other reasons) just because he’s Black, I understand the push by Blacks to elect him. People are tired of being devalued and marginalized by people who put their pants on one leg at a time, just like they do. I know I’m tired of it.
The Trojan Horse
Still seeking to gain entrance into Troy, clever Odysseus (some say with the aid of Athena) ordered a large wooden horse to be built. Its insides were to be hollow so that soldiers could hide within it.
Once the statue had been built by the artist Epeius, a number of the Greek warriors, along with Odysseus, climbed inside. The rest of the Greek fleet sailed away, so as to deceive the Trojans.
One man, Sinon, was left behind. When the Trojans came to marvel at the huge creation, Sinon pretended to be angry with the Greeks, stating that they had deserted him. He assured the Trojans that the wooden horse was safe and would bring luck to the Trojans.
Only two people, Laocoon and Cassandra, spoke out against the horse, but they were ignored. The Trojans celebrated what they thought was their victory, and dragged the wooden horse into Troy.
That night, after most of Troy was asleep or in a drunken stupor, Sinon let the Greek warriors out from the horse, and they slaughtered the Trojans. Priam was killed as he huddled by Zeus’ altar and Cassandra was pulled from the statue of Athena and raped.
tricking young people into voting away their future, and signing up for hiv tests to get EXPERIMENTAL hiv drugs, when they’re NOT sick, that are going to give them AIDS is what your obama is all about.
THE REPUBLICANS ARE LAUGHING IT UP, SHOWING THE WORLD WHAT A BIG FOOL, AND RASCIST NEGROES REALLY ARE, WHEN THEY IGNORE EXCELLENT RECORDS OF THE CLINTONS WHO WORKED HARD TO END RASCISM. INSTEAD THEY VOTE FOR SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE OF SKIN COLOR, AND WHO ONLY TALKS ABOUT CHANGE, WHEN THE CLINTONS FOUGHT HARD FOR LEGISLATION TO BRING REAL CHANGE.
where is he getting all this money? from african dictators who don’t even educate and feed their own? and what do they expect to get in return? triple african aid, at the expense of the poor in america?? he already said he would triple african aid money. how does he raise more money than hillary and mccain combined?? this is damny scary.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/a...080215/ap_on_el_pr/mccain
McCain would be the obvious beneficiary if they both take the federal money because they would have to return money already raised toward the general election. Obama has raised $6.1 million for the general, nearly three times as much as McCain’s $2.2 million.
If the candidates reject public funds it would be historic rejection of the public financing system. No major party candidate rejected public funds for the general election since the system was put in place in the 1970s after the Watergate scandal.
Candidates who accept public funding are eligible for about $85 million, which is paid for by a $3 checkoff on IRS tax return forms.
Since he became a presidential candidate he has let it be known that he doesn’t support the RACE-BACED affirmative action that put him in harvard and all the rest of these pompous “N” words into prominence, so I can’t support anyone who thinks that because a FEW have made it, the rest of us don’t need the same help they received, and running around talking about “race doesn’t matter” when discrimination and bigotry is as strong as it was when PRESIDENT CLINTON put his career on the line to help NEGROES SPECIFICALLY!
http://article.nationalre...jMjM4YmVlZjQ1YjBjYWY1MzY=
So, how much, if at all, should Obama’s race matter to us anyway?
The simple answer is none at all — race should have no bearing on the merits of anyone’s candidacy. But that is not the case with Barack Obama. One of the reasons Americans are enthralled with him is precisely because he is black.
Although he has been a vocal supporter of racial preferences in the past, Obama begins to suggest a different policy direction in The Audacity of Hope. Race-based affirmative action policies, he recognizes, have polarized the races, while race-neutral or “universal” programs unite them.
Advocates of “class-based” or “race-neutral” affirmative action have been around a long time — even then-Governor George W. Bush supported “need-based” government contracting set-asides, as did many congressional Republicans in the 1990s. But, for the most part, no recent Democratic presidential aspirant has been as bold as Obama in discussing the problems with race-based affirmative action: “An emphasis on universal, as opposed to race-specific, programs isn’t just good policy; it’s also good politics.”
Onemil those same people who are voting for Hillary now would vote for Obama, please don’t get it twisted….hes far more dynamic and likable than her, and hes run a cleaner campaign which means he hasnt really done shit to drive a wedge between democrats.
Hillary on the other hand is being hated more and more as the days pass , by her own democrats because of all the bullshit she pulls.
almost every single political analyst has said she needs him and he doesnt need her. I mean come one….you’re such a coon, i wonder why i reply to u sometimes…
Obama looks like hes mackin in that pic tho lol
lol@ all the propaganda on this blog
these mothafuckers r so stupid if they believe Hillary gives a fuk….
read a book dont wait on no president to be ur savior damn…
lmao @ flylike…he does…i didn’t even notice that lol
@ Justice66, So Bill Clinton wasn’t race baiting….Hmm, that whole week Bob Johnson, Hillary, and Bill were doing just that. I am a college student here in South Carolina, and that whole time they were pulling that crap around town and in other precincts. Bill Clinton said that to devalue Obama’s win, and look where it got them. The reasons that I like Obama is because he is giving the election back to the people. Unlike Hillary he didn’t ask for the whole 2,300 dollars up front, he asked for whatever you can give. Unlike Hillary he did not devalue the power of the small caucasuses and states. Unlike Hillary he did not sell out the DNC in order to (try) to convince the American public that she and McCain were the only ones capable of the job……Look where it got him- 13 wins, 55 million in January and the hope and trust of the American public.
Obama 08′
Meant to say 55 million in February…
@DA Boss
“Most of you ignorant dumb ass black folks are sooo damn ignorant and racist. You are the ones who gives black folks a bad name. ”
1) I find it comical to even validate my opinion to someone with the name “DA boss.”. You’re grammar is horrible, and with all the cursing in your first line bashing your own race, (your argument MAY have been valid) but I didn’t bother to even read it.
2) I can’t give black folks a bad name.. because i’m NOT black!! So what ever complex you have, you just put yourself on front street my friend, because I did not mention anything on race as to why I dislike Hilary. (i’m a 25 y.o. white female myself)
3) Hilary is dirty simple as that, is she any more coniving than past politicians? not at all ..politics is a dirty game. I am a member of the democrat party, but before that i’m a woman of ethics, and i’m not going to place my vote for someone that is tripping up her own team member, in leiu of vying for the same position. Barack has yet to demean her character ,he he takes the higher road, as do I!! which is why I made the comment I would vote for McCain before I’d vote for Hilary. Atleast you know where Mc Cain stands, Hilary.. you never can, because she waivers back and forth.
So DA boss.. before you go cursing up a storm and making yourself sound like the ignorant ones you accused so confidently… step on here like a grown man and not some 12 year old fan of Soulja boy. …
but like soulja would say.. YAHHH DA BOSS YAHHH!!
I find it funny how some people dislike like Hillary because she’s a fighter who will NEVER stop and give in for anything for what she believes in and the survival of her country!…..Isn’t this a person we should want as a president? I know i do! She’s a survivor with tough skin and people hate to see her coming! Obama can’t handle pressure when it comes his way, and i’m so tired of him talking about her damn tax returns (who really gives a fuck) ……Hillary has been fighting fighting fighting from day 1 of this nomination process! Becuase lord knows she’s had nothing but backlash from the black community and republicans! If Obama had half the hate coming his way…he would have been shut down! When he’s in the hot seat….all he does is walks away and avoids the important issues at hand!
I dont want a weak inspirational speech giving president running my country…..When the shit hits the fan we need action RIGHT THEN….not a Sunday morning sermon!
@ Justice 66: I just can’t let your comments fester. This is my last response than I’m done w/ this foolishness:
1. That quote you gave on income is irrelevant. It’s not the amount of income its the gap between income that matters. The gap between white and blacks remained huge during the Clinton administration and low income blacks feared worse. Like I said, the entire economy was doing better, but there was nothing special about it for blacks. Same gaps existed as always. And black, like the ones in Ohio who loss their jobs to Nafta, are still dealing w/ the fall out of Clinton’s flawed trade policies. Have you ever studied economics? Do you understand that economic progress is a measure of growth and equity not dollar amounts?????
2. So featuring his white mother in an ad is race baiting? Wow, I can’t even begin to address that foolishness, you clearly just don’t know what race baiting is. I’m sorry to hear that.
3. It’s not Renko, it’s Rezko. If your going to try to attack at least get the name right. All of Obama’s dealing w/ Rezko are out in the open. He contributed to a large # of Illinois politicians and Obama did nothing illegal with him and provided him with NO political favors. Rezko is indicted on completely different charges that have nothing to do w/ Obama. This trial is not about Obama and the prosecutors have made it clear from the jump that Obama had no illegal dealing w/ Rezko and this trial isn’t about him. So your point is what?
From reading these comments I understand why Obama appeals to more educated voters. Some of these comments (i.e. African dictators are funding his campaign, why should she have to release her tax returns, she’s looks tougher etc.) make no damn sense. I’m sorry that there are so many uninformed voters out there. SMH
@ #84…..Can you explain the relevance of why Obama keeps asking for Clinton to release her to tax returns to the public (who cares)? Their are way more important issues facing the econnomy today, but we’re more interested in worrying about how she gave her own campaign 5 million dollars lol! Give me a break…..It’s a fact that Obama has lied about NAFTA (now that’s an important issue)!
I never once stated that Hillary Clinton (looks tougher), How did you propose that synopsis of what was stated lol?…..Open your ears and you will hear for yourself; it’s no secret!
By the way (since you put it out their)….I’m an educated African-American Spelman graduate, received my master’s degree from Emory School Of Law, and i’m currently pursuing my Doctoral Degree.
So be my guest……..insult my intelligence/competence level if you may lol…..
HILLARY CLINTON IN 2008 FOR PRESIDENT! I’ll see you guys at the poll!!!
“When shit storms our country we need ACTION not a SPEECH”…..this is my new motto!
I’m getting really tired of all those people who have the nerve to believe that Clinton has more experience than Obama. Stop believing the lies! Here is a great post from Daily Kos that breaks down and compares the bills that Clinton and Obama have authored and introduced. All this information can be found at the Library of Congress.
If people were so concerned about the issues they would have done extensive amounts of research.
http://www.dailykos.com/s...2/20/201332/807/36/458633
Please take the time to read this. After you have read it then please stop spreading lies that Obama has no experience or that his experience is irrelevant. I’m getting really tired of the posts on here pitting Obama supporters as those just believing in a dream; that they are unintelligent and have not informed themselves about the issues or that they don’t know what he stands for. I find it amazing that Black people would lambaste other blacks as being foolish for not supporting the “smarter, more experienced” white candidate. Guess what Black people are not the only ones supporting him! Obama supporters are well informed; just as I’m sure Clinton supporters are well informed. Why not criticize those white females voting for Clinton solely because she is a woman? I’ll tell you why cause many of these morons believe that Black people are not intelligent enough to make an educated decision!
I’m really fed up with the bullshit posters on CL, if you have nothing educated or informative to say please refrain from posting LIES and CRAP. If you have an opinion please state it as your opinion and not as fact that you found from some wear or heard someone tell you, but u can’t remember where you heard or saw it! Provide sources for your statements so that people know where you are getting your information from. That helps me and other posters to better break down garbage, and lies.
Cookie, is that “how you do”, change the arguement when I post FACTS to dispute your claims? I NEVER said blacks earned more than whites during Clinton’s admin, so your bringing it up is MOOT!!!! Remember that 40 acrs and a mule story?The fact that Blacks didn’t get theirs means it will be hundreds of years before the majority of Blacks have the earning potential close to what of whites.
As for the REZKO or whatever his name is, if you didn’t get my point when I made it the first time, tough! And yeah, talking about your white Mama, in a mostly white state just before the election in that state, IS playing the race card.
Now about the statement that UNeducated blacks are supporting Clinton…. let me just say that with 3 college degrees or “trey” for those speaking Ebonics, lack of education is hardly my issue. In fact I could give YOU one of my degrees and STILL be an educated sista’. And like Jayla06, I’m gonna be Dr. Justice66 one day too, so ya’ll can get outta here with that uneduated nonsense. Black people ar NOT a group of monolithic thinkers, falling in line with most other Black people think is the “right” thing to do.
My plan when I saw Obama speak at the Dems convention in I believe it was 2002 or 2004, was to SUPPORT his nomination for president AFTER he acquired the experience I THOUHGT he needed. I figured he’d be set by 2012 and my mind hasn’t changed on that. But if Obama turns his back on affirmative action especially given that his wife was a beneficiary of it, I gonna drop his a$$ like a bad habit and NEVER look back!
I’m not about to write an essay on the subject. All I have to say is Obama 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well said!
Hillary is obtaining the lower middle class votes. She is using the target voters that do not read voting records. This is why she uses the fear tactics and the sharp tounge remarks.
Beware African American voter that support Hillary she is dangerous and will turn against us. If you all dont believe me look what she sated about Obama . She indeed say that Mc Cain would be a better President than Obama. She is mad as hell at Obama. And I am almost certain she is mad at African Americans. Bill and Hill say the most racist things about Oboma. All of old Clinton’s friends are NOT supporting her. They know she is a fraud and has no allegiance to a friend. Bill and Hill have gotten in so much trouble with the law and congress for breaking the law and getting away with it. Washington politicans, Republicans and Democrats all know about them and will not F*** with the Clintons. They have so many mysterious deaths and cover ups and scandals that went on. They are bad news. I know for sure that Obama will NEVER be associated with her ever not on a VP ticket ever. He would be caught up in some real mess. Because the first thing that she and everyone else would do is blame the “Black man”.
She is no longer in favShe is targeting the white low income voters that do not have privy or just disinterested in her voting record. I could NOT believe how the Ohio voters(lower class whites and some African Americans) voted for her. Ohio’s jobs have left the state to go overseas because of NAFTA. Leaving numerous people jobless and poor. Hilliary voted in FAVOR of NAFTA. Obama did not support of NAFTA. Ohioans STILL voted for Hillary. She is “pimping” the poor lower class for their votes and they are just allowing her to do so. This is why people need to stay abreast of the candidates voting records. Do not vote for race or popularity vote for their best interest of the people. This is the importance of Obama. I only wish he needs to defend himself and start getting the ball rolling again with his momemntum.
