Or a thousand and two: Mr. President?

**EXCERPT**
The old head-scratcher — what happens if an irresistible force meets an immovable object? — now gets its test in the Democratic presidential primary.
The force is Barack Obama. His sweep of the Potomac primaries in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC on Tuesday gives him seven straight wins since Super Tuesday, not to mention his first lead in pledged delegates. Unprecedented amounts of money are pouring into his campaign coffers. He now has momentum that any challenger would envy in any year. Indeed, in any other year, a candidate with his numbers would have the nomination locked up tight.
But standing in his way is the adamantine Hillary Clinton, whose organization, decades in the making, is deeply rooted from coast to coast. She's as easy to knock over as the Great Wall.

Ya think because 70% think the country is going in the wrong direction and Clinton is 35 years of yesterday?
Political rock, paper, scissors.
Ear covers cankle. Mad dog eats ears. Republicans win.
For me, the picture that’s out there of him ignoring the solemnity of our national anthem while the other Demmycrat stooges actually had their hands over their chest speaks volumes about the guy.
He’s so anti-American that it stinks . . . a cookie-cutter liberal . . . not yet smart enough to be a communist . . . but has all the trappings needed to be a socialist, the difference being that a communist KNOWS what he’s doing.
But that picture should be the main poster for demolishing the creep. Hope the stupid party (Republicans) have big enough gonads to use the picture.
Are they calling Hillary fat?
A picture is worth a thousand words!!
SNOPES SAYS THIS IS “TRUE”.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/anthem.asp
All this “means” is that the ‘Rats have finally figured out that the Clinton’s best interests and their best interests have NEVER been the same.
And the ‘Rat party leaders are breathing a sigh of relief that it’s the voters who are ousting the Clintons because they were too afraid to do it themselves.
Hillary has to revive “The Hillary I Know” campaign. Get her mother back out there on the campaign trail, telling us she would vote for Hillary even if she weren’t her daughter.
Hillary needs to get Bill out there more, and let Bill tell us that Obama is just a black candidate. Let Bill compare Obama to Jesse Jackson.
Hillary needs to tell us more about how she is a change agent. She needs to reinforce the message that while some candidates only hope for change, or demand change, that she knows you have to work hard for change.
Hillary needs to get Chelsea out there more, but not allow Chelsea to meet with reporters. Not even 9 year old school newspaper reporters.
Hillary should have her lackeys get out there and say they are afraid that Republicans will bring up Obama’s youthful drug use. Not that they themselves want to talk about such delicate subjects, of course, but just to warn us that Republicans will be ruthless.
And finally, Hillary should act as if this nomination is owed her somehow, and act like she is the inevitable nominee, no matter what happens in the primaries. And if she does lose any primaries or caucuses, she should just cackle and say those particular states don’t matter, for this and that reason.
Funny how the Obama surge has happened simultaneous to Bill's relative disappearance from the campaign trail. Coincidence?
There’s big money behind Obama but nobody knows who it is. There isn’t enough grass roots money around to beat the Hillary machine when it comes to raising money. I’m wondering if Soros isn’t behind him.
It’s about the ultimate aphrodisiac- power.
The media, knows that BHO is an intellectual and leadership lightweight. They’d be able to maipulate him and shape the agenda to their own desire (w/ plausible deniabilty).
And of course, they’re geting on the bandwagon of a peceived winner
I believe from previous posts on this site that yes Soros is supporting Obama.
When one considers who is running against Obama for the nomination it does to take a genius to figure out why his momentum might be growing. Not that he would be much better but people are terrified of the other candidate running.

The meaqning is the MSM is aiding and abetting him, and not covering his drugs&sex scandal.
Means the Clintons are toast. Time to take out the trash.
I thought Soros was funding McCain?
Does anybody know what’s the polls between ‘Bama and Hellary in Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania? Does she have double-digit leads in these states?
I want ‘Bama to win. But if he lost, I’d like to see him lost by a small margin so he could get a share of the delegates from OH, TX, and Pennsylvania.
I just don’t want to see Hellary get nominated.
The enormous black hole is actually between the author's ears, but I expect nothing less from Time magazine. As has been explained many, many, times, the immovable object/unstoppable force riddle is not a paradox at all, but merely an example of the imperfection of our language. If you had a truly immovable object there could not be an unstoppable force, and vice versa. The only reason you can pose the question at all is because our language allows us to describe one and the other in the same sentence without addressing the conflict.
I don’t see what dems see in Obama other than he is a good speaker and hot Hillary?
What has he done?
What is he going to do?
All I see are campaign signs say “change” and speeches that sound like a mix of JFK and MLK.

The only things you missed were the “TEARS” and channeling voices from the grave!!!!!!!
What happened to the rest of my comment? (Weird music). I said, Soros is behind; hillary, obama, and mccain. IOW, Soros is controlling our country.
We know that Oprah’s money is behind Obama.

Got to be a typo. The words "hot" and "Hillary" do not belong in the same paragraph much less the same sentence.
'Course I had a pet rattlesnake once... He was charming too but I never turned my back on him!
She's a Change Agent all right: she would change our capitalist economy into a socialist state controlled one. She would change the most robust and innovative health industry into a moribund system on the order of Canada's or the UK's NHS. She would change talk radio and the internet into lib talking point echo chambers - witness her threatening MSNBC over comments she didn't like. And that's a lib network friendly to her.....
You have correctly stated the situation.
All the metaphors about forces and immovable objects are just balderdash
.....BHO.....
May I suggest an alternate spelling?
How about B Ho
.....he is a good speaker and hot Hillary?
sorry man. I need to go wash my hands. I can’t believe I typed that.
“I thought Soros was funding McCain?”
According to this he is.

The Meaning Of Obama’s Momentum?
American Idol tv show, plain and simple
The media has done its job, keep them numb and dumb
He’s dreamy, he’s young, he’s black, he has charactor, he reminds some of the second coming of JFK, his minnions are not concerned about idea’s they want dreams, Substance is not an issue, background and experience is not an issue, A plan for America, specifics, is not an issue but all he has to do is shout “change” and the crowd is transfixed and ready to scream his name.
I am in awe at the lemmings that blindly follow with out asking questions!
Why?
It doesn’t improve discourse and lowers us to the level of DemocratUnderground KOS-ites.
ROTFLMAO
But, if it is McCain are we really winning?
Mad dog eats ear.
Yes, of course we win, unless ear sees it coming and throws cankle. Cankle kicks mad dog.
The empty suit vs. the pant suit.
Obamanation in process.
