Call it a hunch. Call it a gut feeling. I have almost nothing else to base this on, but...
I really think something not so good for Barack Obama will break soon. Some skeleton, something. I don't know what. But there was a discussion a while back where one of the commentators, don't remember who, read it here, said to another at the desk/table, re: Barack, "I know what's coming."

This was back when there was alot of talk about some newspapers and the Hillary campaign having someething devastating on Obama, but they had all decided to sit on it.

I've got a strong feeling about this. No idea what it could be or if it's even real, but my gut sez something's coming.

And no, this isn't desperation from a Hillbot, or whatever label some will throw.

Just a feeling...

wishful thinking.

9. More likely about Bill than Obama...
I know its wishful thinking on your part, but Obama is too damn smart for that to happen.

Bill, not so much as evidened by his own past self-destructive behavior. And any scandal, shady deal etc involving Bill also effects his wife.

Theres a lot more rocks around her and Bill's house than around Obamas.

Some even the Republicans havent touched......yet.

25. Scott Ritter expounded on this in great detail in the lecture I attended that he gave her in MI
a week and a half ago.

Ritter and Jeff Cohen actually. It was very enlightening.

Especially since unlike purchasing a spit of land to extend a backyard from someone who turned out to be a bit shady, this issue and Hillary's war votes, foreign policy decisions and ties to the military industrial complex are troubling as they effect me and my family personally!

35. After reading this, I don't see how any progressive could possibly support Clinton
It serves as an omen of very dark days ahead if Hillary Clinton becomes President.

14. Nice try. Something might break against Obama so you want to set it up
beforehand to make folks think it will be from the Clinton campaign. How low can you go?

16. They've built him up...what fun for them to then tear him down.
That is why I'm quite comfortable with the MSM and their Hillary hate. They can do a helluva lot less damage than they could if they love her now and then decide they don't. It will happen to Obama the question is not if but when.

Hopefully before he's elected and not two years into his first term.

17. Well, you've got to figure that since the GOP field is 'consolidating'
that someone at RNC is busily doing oppo research on the (actual) anointed one. Anyone who doesn't think that Obama is the preferred candidate needs to turn on MSGOP and have a look at the fawning coverage he's getting, round the clock.

The idea is to build him up, and then knock him down.

I don't see anything coming on him UNTIL he's the nominee. And then, it will be too late.

24. They're saving it for the GE. They're shoving the guy down our throats & trying to sabotage
Hillary's campaign. AFTER he's the nominee...we'll get the skeleton they're sitting on, but not until. It's been the plan all along. They don't want a Democratic President. They will take him down when it's time. UNLESS, the Clinton campaign gets wind of whatever it is....they will use it at the most opportune time for her campaign.

29. spend time working for your candidate's campaign and sticking to the issues instead of resorting to
dirty inneuendo.

The race was a tie. We start from here. Act like adults please!

26. Oh pulllease....if the Hillary campaign had dirt on obama does any sane person doubt they would have
used it by now? They have already shown there ability to distort and deceive in order to spread dirt on OBama. If there were indeed some lurking dirt on Obama, can anyone believe the Clintons, ruthless as they are, would have any doubts at all about sharing this with the rest of us?


The clintons have vetted Obama. And they found NOTHING!

28. If she had something big, she would have used before infusing 5 Mil of her own money into the race
The longer this is drawn out, the more it favors Obama. They would have preferred to have taken him out on Super Tuesday.

34. This coming from someone who has a photo of Hillary in their avatar?
Give me a break.
I am a big fan of Bill's, and I will vote for Hillary if she is the nominee... and that is a BIG *IF* right now.

But you Hillary-fanatics are making me want to puke. I cannot believe the bullshit you are slinging at Obama.

Smells like desperation to me.

38. They have already laid the game plan...the "Hussein" stuff was
merely the first volley, a shot across the bow so to speak. There are other things, but many of them are coming from D's, (go figure), but this is the Primary Wars, so everyone gets more than their fair share of negativity.

When the GE comes about, regardless of whom the nominee is w/a D behind their name, it will get much hotter. The R's have nothing, all they can do is attack relentlessly, and if we've learned anything from the past, it is that any skeleton that either falls out or is shoved out of a closet, needs to be addressed immediately, and debunked...or if true, say so and move on. It is never the "charge" that sticks, it is the squirming that gets noticed.

Once the initial attack is dealt with, it is important to get back to issues, and facts...immediately!
All one has to say if the attack comes again, is, "that's been dealt with, now let's deal with what is important".


This is going to be one seriously ugly fight. But we're going to win, regardless of our candidate, the people of this great nation have decided they've had enough of what bush and his emissaries from hell have dished out to the the country. The neo-con movement is being crushed, as it should have been done years ago.

I keep having this feeling that they're playing rope-a-dope with the Democrats. I haven't seen this amount of corporate media push for something since the Iraq War, and there's the same disconnect between media spin & reality. NBC is absolutely over the top promoting Obama - why? If this conspiracy theory/wild hunch is truek, though, we won't hear the scandal until after the Dem. party chooses their nominee.
