Barack Obama BELLY FLOPS on Florida and Michigan delegates.

Here is the link to the newspaper that might be breaking the story first. Palm Beach Post

UNACCEPTABLE! A real man would have accepted having Michigan and Florida counting early on, when it could have hurt his chances at becoming the democratic nominee. Doing it now, on August 3rd, 2008, just shows a level of arrogance against Hillary Clinton supporters that is just beyond comprehension, almost.

Sure Barack Obama supporters can now whine, "well, no matter what we do, we just can't make Hillary Clinton Supporters happy". WRONG. That ship sailed as time dragged on and on any scenario that could help Hillary win, even if it was the ETHICAL AND CORRECT thing to do, was dumped overboard with virtually no possibility of a lifeline by the Barack Obama strategy crew.

You don't get to have it both ways. You don't get to cheat in the caucus states, cheat in the delegate count race, use the media to brow beat super delegates into CHANGING their vote from Hillary to Barack, you don't get to IGNORE that Hillary Clinton won 40 more congressional district contests than Barack Obama, and then try and rewrap Florida and Michigan and present it as a gift to Hillary Clinton supporters.

Every step that the Barack Obama camp takes lately is turning into huge missteps. That's what happens when you truly don't have the consensus of the majority, but you continue to pretend that you do.

Nevada Commercial on MSNBC Backroom Deal as Well???

I find it suspicious that two States that Hillary Clinton won but only gained two net delegates from are getting commercial time on MSNBC promoting their states.

First it was Michigan with the VERY FIRST commercial broadcast immediately after Hillary Clinton's suspension speech had finished. Now I see a Nevada Tourism commerical right smack dab in the middle of an MSNBC prime time show.

What makes this so suspicious to me is that Michigan and Nevada were two of the states that show UNFAIR REFLECTION towards Hillary Clinton in the delegate race. Hillary Clinton gained a NET total of TWO DELEGATES from Michigan and Nevada even though she won both states.

These two commercials on MSNBC could just be coinicidental, or it could be payback for supporting Barack Obama. lol, maybe MSNBC will report on itself in a fair and balanced manner. The timing of when the Michigan commercial ran might have been one of those inside jokes, that has now been turned inside out by yours truly.

Florida Michigan BackRoom Deals???

When the first commercial that appears on MSNBC after Hillary Clinton's suspension speech on Saturday is a commercial for Michigan, one wonders what is going on. Barack Obama achieved an early Iowa advantage by taking his name off of the Michigan ballot. It was a calculated gamble that Edwards, Obama and Richardson executed together on the final afternoon that one could legally take their name off of the Michigan ballot, and it paid off handsomely early on for Barack Obama in Iowa.

It made Iowa residents happy to see three democrats "protest" Michigan moving their primary into January.

But then Barack Obama got an additional boost when the DNC, rather than acknowledge a political gamble that was now about to backfire on Barack Obama, instead protected Barack Obama and actually gave him Michigan delegates even though Obama voluntarily took his name off of the MIchigan ballot.

To add the final insult to the Michigan wound against Hillary Clinton, the very first commercial MSNBC ran after Hillary Clinton's suspension speech ended was a "move your company to Michigan commercial". This just looks like quid pro quo. Fall in line, back Barack, and we'll run your "come to Michigan" commercial on MSNBC. The arrogance of the people who have invaded the democratic party clearly has no bounds and apparently very little integrity as well.

"Fair Reflection" How the Democratic Process Ignored Fair Reflection.

The visual just below illustrates the OPPOSITE of the concept of "Fair Reflection". When voters have all day to vote, and vote in the privacy of a voting booth, the vote totals from that particular state more accurately reflect the will of the popular vote in that state. When Voters didn't have all day to vote, could only vote in restricted locations and within a restricted time period, and had to vote in public rather than the privacy of a voting booth, Barack Obama did so well the numbers didn't accurately match up with the actual popular vote of that state for each candidate. This can be called "Fair Reflection, Denied".
Above is the ridiculous margin of victory for Barack Obama in the Idaho Caucus that had nothing to do with reality, but much to do with back room deals, the very thing Barack Obama claims to want to "change". Barack Obama succeeded by playing the very style of Old School politicking that Barack Obama claims he would "change". Below is the Result of the Idaho Primary, notice how much closer the final results are?
The Primary vote reveals a much closer 56%-37% margin of victory, Barack Obama's ridiculously unrepresentative win from the caucus vote was a 70%-17% margin of victory. Hillary enjoyed a 440% increase in her vote total in the primary vote, Barack Obama had a 140% increase in his primary vote total. The Primary Vote swing is 43% in Hillary's favor.



Up Above is the Nebraska Primary and Caucus Results. After losing in the Nebraska Caucus by a 68% to 32% margin of victory, Hillary Clinton once again closed the gap losing by only two percentage points, 49% to 47% in the Nebraska Primary. The Nebraska primary vote represents a 38% shift in the popularity of both candidates towards Hillary Clinton.



The Washington Primary offers almost an identical shift in numbers as the Nebraska primary. Hillary Clinton once again closed the gap from an unrealistic 68%-31% margin of victory in the Washington Caucus to 51% to 46% in the Washington Primary. The shift in popularity is 32% towards Hillary Clinton. (I recall these numbers used to be 50%-47%, but we'll go with the 51%-46%).

Yes, I believe in Fair Reflection, unfortunately other than a few intellectuals on Hillary Clinton's side, such as Harold Ickies, the phrase Fair Reflection is meaningless to the democratic party higher ups.

Florida Michigan Imbroglio, Why the Obamamites Can't Win, with Picture Essay.

Robert Wexler makes a very controversial statement....."What we are saying is that up to the number of 19, which is the maximum amount allowable under the Ausman Petition and under your rules. WE THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN WILL SUPPORT THAT EFFORT, AND WE DO SO, WE DO SO, IN AN EFFORT OF UNITY."

"Why Mr. Ickes, is it a significant concession?"

"Because in the State of Ohio and the State of Pennsylvania, TOGETHER, Senator Clinton WON A TOTAL OF 19 DELEGATES!!!"

"and here we are today offering a resolution that brings Florida voters TOGETHER, that actually amounts to both the victories of Ohio and Pennsylvania! Let us UNIFY, LET US MOVE ON!" -Robert Wexler

(The pro Obama supporters cheer this rampantly arrogant and completely misguided, idiotic reasoning. It is this "reasoning" which also permeates the elitist Obama brainchild to an alarming degree)."
------------------------
Commentary by Alessandro Machi about the above statement of Robert Wexler.

Besides Ohio and Pennsylvania, Mr. Wexler could have added Texas, Nevada, and Indiana to his infamous list, All Hillary Clinton Wins, that all in all have netted Hillary Clinton ONLY 18 delegates!

Do you see the narcissism and arrogance, the "mine, mine, mine" style of politicking the Obama camp runs? Actually bragging that 19 delegates is an incredibly generous offer because it is one more than the sum total of delegates that Hillary Clinton picked up in the swing states of Ohio and Pennsylvania, PLUS Texas, Nevada, and Indiana, ALL HILLARY CLINTON VICTORY STATES!

lol, isn't it possible, just possible, that winning a decisive plurality when millions of voters vote, (also known as "Fair Reflection") is more significant and bankable than the cheating the Obama camp did in the caucus states?

Fair Reflection is a concept that is completely oblivious to the Barack Obama camp and clearly was not used as a bellweather to limit the amount of cheating that the Barack Obama side was involved in during their campaigning.

A wise leader knows to limit the amount of cheating to just below what will be noticed. lol, Clearly Barack Obama is not a wise leader.

Ickes stunned into Silence by the bravado of the intellectually bankrupt opposition.

Harold Ickes asks, I gather that you agree with the concept of fair reflection?

Mr. Wexler looks confused, but smugly confident nonetheless since he doesn't fear that which he cannot comprehend. The pro Obama side cheers on Mr. Wexler as if to say "You may not know what "Fair Reflection means", but we don't either so it must not matter".


In a signature moment that defines the Obama campaign motto of "If we don't understand you, then you don't make sense", Mr. Wexler mockingly and cockily presumes that not only does he not know what fair reflection is, it just doesn't matter to him nor the Obama side.

Mr. Ickes, realizing that he is up against pure bravado backed by youthful inexperience, does not attempt to educate the defiantly uneducatable. This is what the real democratic party is up against. Youthful arrogance that can't comprehend it was Bill Clinton's administration that laid the foundation for their own parents to save money, so they could go to college, and then hate and cheat against Hillary Clinton. wow.

Hillary Clinton is also up against a sordid duo of Billionaire George Soros and secret love interest Arianna Huffington and the politics of hating those who stay married, competently raise a child, and show their love and respect for each other through their mutual teamwork as husband and wife. The democratic party is being done in by ilicit lovers who have fricasseed a successful, intelligent, married woman. double wow.

Elizabeth Smith MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.

Elizabeth Smith asked what I have been asking on this Florida-Michigan Blog for the past few days, WHY DID BARACK OBAMA TAKE HIS NAME OFF OF THE BALLOT IN MICHIGAN?

David Bonior COULD NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION!

IT'S CALLED MAKING A MISTAKE!

BARACK OBAMA MADE A MISTAKE IN MICHIGAN. It's that simple.

David Bonior Makes no Sense

Because Barack Obama avoided putting his name on the ballot in Michigan, he is entitled to as many delegates as someone who put their name on the ballot and actually received votes. Barack Obama is all bout risk free winning, he did it in the Caucus states where his people cheated, and he is doing it in Florida and Michigan.

"More Sir", Why Michigan Moved their Primary Date Forward Only to be Beaten Down by the Democratic Party.

Once again the entire US media fails to address issues that actually matter. Lost in all the drama about Florida and Michigan is why did Michigan move their Primary date forward?

Have you ever witnessed or been in a desperate situation and all the rules of civilized society that you have agreed to abide by, while still relevant, suddenly don't seem to apply to your particular situation?

A kitten is frolicking in a normally busy intersection, but no cars are coming by at that moment. Do you skip out against the light, grab the oblivious kitten, or do you wait until the light has changed and then try to save the kitten? Of course the obvious answer is that if no cars are anywhere near the vicinity and it is safe to go and get the kitten, you get the kitten.

The case can be made that with record job losses in the automotive industry Michigan is witnessing the erosion of their own state's workforce. Michigan's act of moving their election date toward the front of the primary schedule was an act of desperation.

The higher ups in the democratic party simply point to their red light rules and regulations and in the process completely ignore the reality of the plight of Michigan. I view Michigan as Lousiana just before the levees broke. In an effort to try and convey the importance of losing auto industry jobs and the cascading devastation that follows, Michigan took a step forward and basically said, "More Sir" ala Oliver in Oliver Twist when Oliver asks for a second helping of soup.

So how did the democratic party react to the act of desperation by Michigan? They responded in a manner similar to the head master in the Oliver Twist Story and immediately punished Oliver, er Michigan, for asking for more. Fiction repeats itself in real life, courtesy of the democratic national party as they slap Michigan on the wrist, face and arms really, really hard, and say "no soup for you."

Associated Press Makes Controversial Statement About Florida & MIchigan Against Hillary Clinton.

The AP quote "Obama is willing to give her the lion's share of those delegates but is stopping short of her demand to fully recognize the two renegade states." is just the latest in a long series of misrepresentations of the truth by the media. How do they live with themselves?

Obama is willing to give Hillary Clinton the lion's share of those delegate votes? It must be tough be a lion these days. Or, did the AP mean, Obama was willing to give Hillary Clinton the lying share of the delegate votes that Barack Obama stole in the Caucus States?

This is the kind of one sided news coverage that has afflicted the democratic race in general.

So when does Barack Obama look into the camera, wag his finger at us, and say "I did not cheat with those caucus state votes".
