Hillary @ MindSay 
Tyesa came back and was laughing her butt off.
A campaign manager rang the WRONG doorbell this morning!
Sorry I couldn't get a better shot, I did add subtitles though! Yes, we live in the same building as this woman. Can you believe that? I don't understand why I feel safe here.
If you can figure out anything else she is saying, please feel free to share!
Ok, so some people will accuse me of being a liberal-lefty-commie-pinko-immoral-nut bag for posting this, but so you know, Moore wrote something a little closer to the center this time (shock! awe!). I implore you to read this.
Why? Maybe an explanation of this photo:

My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore
April 21st, 2008
Friends,
I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted.
So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote -- and yours -- on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama?
I haven't spoken publicly 'til now as to who I would vote for, primarily for two reasons: 1) Who cares?; and 2) I (and most people I know) don't give a rat's ass whose name is on the ballot in November, as long as there's a picture of JFK and FDR riding a donkey at the top of the ballot, and the word "Democratic" next to the candidate's name.
Seriously, I know so many people who don't care if the name under the Big "D" is Dancer, Prancer, Clinton or Blitzen. It can be Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Barry Obama or the Dalai Lama.
Well, that sounded good last year, but over the past two months, the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting. I guess the debate last week was the final straw. I've watched Senator Clinton and her husband play this game of appealing to the worst side of white people, but last Wednesday, when she hurled the name "Farrakhan" out of nowhere, well that's when the silly season came to an early end for me. She said the "F" word to scare white people, pure and simple. Of course, Obama has no connection to Farrakhan. But, according to Senator Clinton, Obama's pastor does -- AND the "church bulletin" once included a Los Angeles Times op-ed from some guy with Hamas! No, not the church bulletin!
This sleazy attempt to smear Obama was brilliantly explained the following night by Stephen Colbert. He pointed out that if Obama is supported by Ted Kennedy, who is Catholic, and the Catholic Church is led by a Pope who was in the Hitler Youth, that can mean only one thing: OBAMA LOVES HITLER!
Yes, Senator Clinton, that's how you sounded. Like you were nuts. Like you were a bigot stoking the fires of stupidity. How sad that I would ever have to write those words about you. You have devoted your life to good causes and good deeds. And now to throw it all away for an office you can't win unless you smear the black man so much that the superdelegates cry "Uncle (Tom)" and give it all to you.
But that can't happen. You cast your die when you voted to start this bloody war. When you did that you were like Moses who lost it for a moment and, because of that, was prohibited from entering the Promised Land.
How sad for a country that wanted to see the first woman elected to the White House. That day will come -- but it won't be you. We'll have to wait for the current Democratic governor of Kansas to run in 2016 (you read it here first!).
There are those who say Obama isn't ready, or he's voted wrong on this or that. But that's looking at the trees and not the forest. What we are witnessing is not just a candidate but a profound, massive public movement for change. My endorsement is more for Obama The Movement than it is for Obama the candidate.
That is not to take anything away from this exceptional man. But what's going on is bigger than him at this point, and that's a good thing for the country. Because, when he wins in November, that Obama Movement is going to have to stay alert and active. Corporate America is not going to give up their hold on our government just because we say so. President Obama is going to need a nation of millions to stand behind him.
I know some of you will say, 'Mike, what have the Democrats done to deserve our vote?' That's a damn good question. In November of '06, the country loudly sent a message that we wanted the war to end. Yet the Democrats have done nothing. So why should we be so eager to line up happily behind them?
I'll tell you why. Because I can't stand one more friggin' minute of this administration and the permanent, irreversible damage it has done to our people and to this world. I'm almost at the point where I don't care if the Democrats don't have a backbone or a kneebone or a thought in their dizzy little heads. Just as long as their name ain't "Bush" and the word "Republican" is not beside theirs on the ballot, then that's good enough for me.
I, like the majority of Americans, have been pummeled senseless for 8 long years. That's why I will join millions of citizens and stagger into the voting booth come November, like a boxer in the 12th round, all bloodied and bruised with one eye swollen shut, looking for the only thing that matters -- that big "D" on the ballot.
Don't get me wrong. I lost my rose-colored glasses a long time ago.
It's foolish to see the Democrats as anything but a nicer version of a party that exists to do the bidding of the corporate elite in this country.[Hey! That's sounds familiar!] Any endorsement of a Democrat must be done with this acknowledgement and a hope that one day we will have a party that'll represent the people first, and laws that allow that party an equal voice.
Finally, I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, "Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for 'spiritual counseling?' THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!"
But no, Obama won't throw that at her. It wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be decent. She's been through enough hurt. And so he remains silent and takes the mud she throws in his face.
That's why the crowds who come to see him are so large. That's why he'll take us down a more decent path. That's why I would vote for him if Michigan were allowed to have an election.
But the question I keep hearing is... 'can he win? Can he win in November?' In the distance we hear the siren of the death train called the Straight Talk Express. We know it's possible to hear the words "President McCain" on January 20th. We know there are still many Americans who will never vote for a black man. Hillary knows it, too. She's counting on it.
Pennsylvania, the state that gave birth to this great country, has a chance to set things right. It has not had a moment to shine like this since 1787 when our Constitution was written there. In that Constitution, they wrote that a black man or woman was only "three fifths" human. On Tuesday, the good people of Pennsylvania have a chance for redemption.
Yours,
Michael Moore
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Can someone tell me why this picture hasn't made headlines on the news? Or at least Fox?
Barack Obama can take some solace out of Hillary Clinton’s new television ad in Pennsylvania. At least one of her supporters featured in the spot hammering Obama for his small town comments isn’t registered to vote in Pennsylvania.That makes him about as Pennsylvanian as...Hillary. I want to stop laughing, but I can't.
Clyde Thomas, who sports a goatee in the ad and says, “the good people of Pennsylvania deserve a lot better than what Barack Obama said,” is actually registered in New Jersey. He voted there for Clinton Feb. 5. He only recently moved to Bethlehem, Pa. (From "The Swamp")
What's happened in the political sphere? For a long time, I did not like the Obama campaign, even if he succeeded in Iowa, my home state. I bought into the "flash-in-the-pan" characterization, and noted how Hillary indeed was more authoritative about policy, foreign and domestic.
Now, under fire, the Hillary campaign has morphed into a fight-or-flight attack mode. It's true that I haven't seen the speeches or the debates, but I believe that the tone indeed has changed.
What may have won me over for Obama is how smart people with ideals agree on supporting him. It's like Obama = Google, while Hillary = the AFL/CIO or the Teamsters. It's new ideas versus re-entrenchment. I've got a friend that was pro-Obama when I was pro-Hillary. I do want the old Hillary back, but there's a reason he's been winning -- his supporters are more rabid!
And re-entrenchment defines the Hillary campaign lately -- all the talk is about how she's appealing to "blue-collar Pennsylvanians" and using Obama's offhand "bitter" word choice as some kind of golden shield against "elitists" like Obama -- and that's absurd! Both HRC and Obama were high-flying lawyers, and now they're both Senators -- if anything, Obama came from much less privilege.
A past post noted how only Obama's thinking could be defined as creative or critical thinking -- which Americans are truly starving for. Nowadays, more Beltway thinking literally equals more death.
I've been won over: Obama speaks on my terms and represents my favorite things. Here's some things I'd (free) associate with him:
*Google, Apple (corporations)
*Professors in departments of humanities, law, social sciences
*Al Gore-ean green technology
*Youth
*The creative class
*Urban liberals
*Real-world environmentalists
*People that read books
*Getting out of Iraq
*Challenging Beltway limits of language and debate
Conversely, here's some things I'd free-associate with Hillary:
*Iraq War/staying in Iraq
*Wal-Mart (she was on their advisory board)
*Old blue-collar men whose job skills have been outmoded but refuse to get educated and blame others for losing their jobs
*Baby boomer ultra-divisive politics
*Uninformed Democrats who think Obama is, or was, "Muslim" (both untrue) -- which may be worse that Republicans for me, because it shows even more ignorance
*Accepting Beltway terms of language and debate
*Crazy political advisors (read: Mark Penn, aka Falstaff)
Things I'd free-associate with John McCain:
*Old
*Confused
*Warmongering
*Neoconservative
*Hypocritical/political opportunist
*Super-white (super-super-white)
*ExxonMobil, Northrop Grumman, KBR
*Joe Lieberman/Likud Party/militantly pro-Israel (i.e. kill for them)
*Faking being anti-torture, and by extension, faking "principle"
*"Islamofascism," or grouping all Muslims as the "Other"
Of course, over time my free-associations will change, but from the looks of the 2008 campaign narrative (where's it been, is at, and where it'll go), I can't really purport to support Hillary anymore. I'm decidedly pro-Obama now.
First, Clinton said that his wife described the events incorrectly because it was "late at night" and she was "tired." He then says that she only made those comments "one time." As we see from the video, everything is a complete fabrication on his part. First, Hillary Clinton did not make those statements just one time, as we saw. There are four documented instances of her painting a very inaccurate picture of the event. Secondly, none of the statements were made "late at night" as the former president claims, they were all in the morning or early afternoon.
This leads me to my next point. If we are to discard the evidence and believe the Clinton's explanation of her serious gaffe, why would I want to vote for someone who will make errors that extreme because she's "tired?" I thought the whole point of her campaign was that she is the one who will be ready to pick up the red phone at 3 am. If she's too tired to get her facts straight at 9 am, then why in the hell would I want her making life of death decisions for this country at 3 am?
Ladies and gentleman, this issue right here is what destroyed Senator Clinton's campaign. There's no way she can recover from this. Every time her or her husband tries to rationalize and justify it, it only exacerbates the situation. Obama can get through the pastor controversy, but Clinton won't get past Bosnia. If the earth shifted it's magnetic field, hell froze over, and she won the nomination, she'd be a sitting duck for John McCain.
