Its funny, Obama lost tonight in Nevada. His supporters say he won because he won more delegates. If thats true, then Obama is a liar. You see, Obama won just as many delegates as HRC in Iowa and still goes around talking about how he won Iowa.
Now, Obama's supporters can either go by Obama's standard and concede the victory to Hillary, or they can continue to be whiney and make him look bad. So every time you claim Obama won tonight, keep in mind you are also calling him a liar because by your spin he didn't win Iowa.
The statement from Obama's campaign tonight is just outright despirate. There is nothing hopeful about accusing someone of cheating to win. Its hopeful to call for it to be investigated and not point fingers until you can prove something. But Obama isn't about Hope. I first realized this when his healthcare plan was not at all universal. I know 15,000,000 Americans who don't have the "Hope" of getting the healthcare they deserve as members of an industrial nation.
The Obama campaign has some nerve:
These kinds of Clinton campaign tactics were part of an entire week’s worth of false, divisive, attacks designed to mislead caucus-goers and discredit the caucus itself
This is from the same people that told everyone Hillary was trying to suppress voters, when in fact it was third party individuals. Those individuals were not acting on behalf of their union. But Obama wants the world to be against him so he can play the "its not my own fault for losing" card.
Obama was silent when these accusations came up in Iowa. Obama was also silent when 527's were airing radio ads for him in Nevada. According to Obama, Edwards was the most unqualified to bring about change since a nurse's union wanted to help him in Iowa with their 527. Obama wants to win at all cost.
This is the only way Obama can win a primary, with crap, mud, and unfair and Rovian tactics. Lets look at how he won his first primary:
There they began the tedious process of challenging hundreds of signatures on the nominating petitions of state Sen. Alice Palmer, the longtime progressive activist from the city's South Side. And they kept challenging petitions until every one of Obama's four Democratic primary rivals was forced off the ballot.
One of those candidates spoke out: (emphasis mine)
One of the candidates he eliminated, long-shot contender Gha-is Askia, now says that Obama's petition challenges belied his image as a champion of the little guy and crusader for voter rights.
"Why say you're for a new tomorrow, then do old-style Chicago politics to remove legitimate candidates?" Askia said. "He talks about honor and democracy, but what honor is there in getting rid of every other candidate so you can run scot-free? Why not let the people decide?"
What does hypocrite Obama think?
In a recent interview, Obama granted that "there's a legitimate argument to be made that you shouldn't create barriers to people getting on the ballot."
Tough talk from someone that deprived 4 people a chance to be on the ballot so Obama could win without a struggle. If he wouldn't try hard to win his first primary, what makes you think he'll try hard for the American people?
