I do not find any
qualities in Obama that indicate he is capable of bringing about this cooperation.
I see arrogance, imperiousness, inflexibility, and contempt for those who
do not hand him what he wants.He does not appear to want unity, only capitulation.

How ironic is it
that we internet activists have been hollering for eight years for Democrats
to fight, and now that we have a fighter on our hands, so many of those
hollerers are hollering AGAINST her? lambert at Corrente
Obama merely has
his words, hope and the video of his wife sounding unpatriotic which will
be used over and over and over again. And that's why
so many Clinton supporters are reluctant to vote for Obama if he becomes
the nominee. It's not because they are bitter. It is because they chose
Hillary over Obama for two real reasons: experience and definition.
We know what we
are getting with Hillary Clinton. We've read the label that has been on
the box for years. And, yes, we may not like everything about her, but
at least we know what we are getting when we support her. There are no
surprises, no baggage left unexamined. Hillary has been in the public eye
for years. She has a record that can be followed and seen in plain view.
We know who she is. We know that she is a hard worker and a smart fighter
who will never give up. And we have a pretty good idea of what she would
do as president. Perhaps most importantly though, we know that she wins
vital states that have proven to be essential to winning the WH.

"...coupled
with the growing list of gaffes, the Great Lakes in Oregon, needing more
Arabic translators in Afghanistan, his campaign in 57 states, Kentucky
being closer to Arkansas than Illinois, his future meeting with the President
of Canada and yesterday, his speech of Sen Kennedy in the past tense is
too reminiscent of the current White House occupant. It's beginning to
look like we are being hoodwinked and bamboozled. Again." -- From
a reader's comment on Kristin's article above.
"Can we conclude
from this that it has been policy for Mr. Obama to NOT rein in his supporters
and bloggers previously? Can we conclude that even with his own very optimistic
figures, Mr. Obama realizes he needs some if not all of the Clinton 17
MILLION VOTES? Does this make anyone else feel as if they cannot vote for
this person? After all, some of his supporters indulged themselveswithout
a word of protest from Mr. Obama until NOW - with bashing Hillary,
and bashing women, the older votes, lunch bucket Dems, the Appalachians,
and Latinos over and over again. Many of us were taunted for being our
selvesactually BEING women or older or carrying lunch buckets, etc.,
etc. - as if there is something WRONG with us because we ARE women
or older or lunch bucket workers or from certain areas or of certain heritage.
We were personally attacked. And Mr. Obama knew it." http://donnadarko.wordpress.com/
Solidarity Sunday
(by garychapelhill at The Confluence) We have been talking a lot lately
about the "sweetie" commenters that will try to butter us up
and convince us that we must "take them back". Most women have
been through this before... Women have far too many times acquiesced to
further the goals of men... Many women opposed the 15th amendment which
gave black men the right to vote because it didn't include women, but in
the end many deferred... Feminists in the '60s allied with men to end the
Vietnam War, only to have the men abandon them once their goal was accomplished.
See, the war did end, but afterward when women wanted to pass the ERA,
support from a lot of those men evaporated... We all need to stick to our
guns. Hillary must be our nominee. Promises and sweet talk will not work
this time. These promises, I should add, are more and more resembling threats
as they get increasingly desperate. Not going to work. Not this time. We
have the power, and we're going to use it. http://hillarysvoice.reclusiveleftist.com/2008/05/19/from-todays-postings-51
