As everyone knows, one of the rules of dailykos is that you may not call people out in a diary, so the names of the people who wrote the comments I'll be posting below will not be included.

When it became well known -- and then finally announced -- that Obama would be picking Senator Joe Biden as his running mate, it became impossible to for this Clinton supporter to stay away, strike or no strike, boycott or no boycott. (More info, full disclosure, I consort with the loonie PUMAs, but I am PUMA in name only, btw. I may still end up voting for Obama.... get this!!!!! I like Biden!! And consider an Obama administration a better proposition now than I did 48 hours ago! At least someone who knows what he's doing on Foriegn Policy will be involved. One way to put it, I guess, if Obama was trying to reach out to a certain kind of voter with this selection, then that certain kind of voter might be me.)

Assuming there's no rule against calling oneself out by name in a diary title, I'll keep this Diary up for as long as it will last.

Sometimes I wish I could be as good as Senator Clinton, but I don't know, somehow, I remain a petty cynical bastard. Most people here know me by my now infamous "Louis (Farrakhan) and Barack sittin' in a tree" diary. So they know me for the troll that I am. Not a real Democrat. A dimwit really. Resorting to the old "guilt by association" trick.

I know what I told myself at the time. "Isn't that how other people behave? Haven't I seen countless 'Hillary and so and so sittin' in a tree' comments here on this blog?" I told myself, but all that proves is just how pathetic I am.

So that's just a little history on what kind of a person I am.

It's now getting more acceptable to realize that the Obama movement, the Clinton Hating part of that movement, has created a problem for Obama in the General Election.

I think we've all got to take a step back and think about that for a second. This was a woman who was cordial and welcoming and yet she felt estranged from DailyKos. The strike shut down the conversation.

That needs to change. Now.

I'm open to your suggestions how.

So it comes about that ... Just to run this up the flag pole in a very short diary, see what the reaction is and move on.

A statement is circulating the internet. The statement is alleged to come from Senator Clinton's pastor. I'll take folks at their word on that.

Below the fold is the statement, as well as some other statements made by Senator Obama's pastor.

When your entire Electability argument is based on the assumption that a significant number of Obama supporters won't vote for Clinton in the General Election....

I'm going to post an article here about an energy independence issue.

And I'll post a poll on it as well.

It's a technology I haven't heard much about really, tidal power, the ability to turn tides into power. Maybe others have.

but i have something more to say about the same argument I've heard over and over again, repeated almost verbatim by Obama and, to a person, every one of his supporters.

As we all know one of the reasons why Obama thinks Hillary Clinton can't unite the country or be effective at building any bipartisan consensus for change is because she's been attacked too much by Republicans. With, in his view, unfair attacks.

Most recently, Obama has said:

http://www.cleveland.com/...

"Her natural inclination is to draw a picture of Republicans as people who need to be crushed and defeated," the U.S. senator from Illinois said in a separate telephone interview with the newspaper.

"It's not entirely her fault. She's been the target of some unfair attacks in the past."
