From the mighty Confluence, I'm stealing this wholecloth from River Daughter - whom I'm sure won't mind. She's had it up for two hours and even though her site has been flooded with Obama supporters lately, no one has responded.

So, I thought I"d put it up here - spread the meme, as they say in the vernacular.
We have some pretty vociferous Obama defenders here, so what say you?
Holy Mother Of Sweet Potatos - Rhandi Rhodes disgraceful "Hillary Clinton is a fucking whore" routine was performed at a fundraiser for Barack Obama.
Here is a link to the screenshot from the Obama campaign site advertising the sold out event:

This rhetoric was fully sanctioned by the Obama campaign. How do we know? Because they didn't get ahead of this story and tell people when the story broke that this routine was performed at a sold out fundraiser for his campaign. He was willing to let Rhandi take the full heat on this, when the responsibility lies with him.
At the minimum, there should have been a press release when this story broke clarifying what the event was. And when Rhodes was suspended, there should have been a second press release. But being the kind of guy he is, he was totally willing to let Rhandi absorb the full impact of her routine.
Poor sad Obama supporters. They are slowly coming to grips with the fact that they cannot beat Hillary into submission. They're going to have to go into the convention without a win, a racist, crazy uncle and an advocation of not counting all the votes. On top of that, party donors in Florida are starting to demand their money back. Suppose that spreads to Michigan.
How does Obama get the nomination itself with Clinton holding a big chunk of delegates, party activists demanding their money back and Clinton supporters telling pollsters they will not vote for Obama in the general election? How does he get the nomination when he has had to employ racism and miosgyny to get as far as he did? What does he do when he doesn't have a female to run against? How does he hold onto the guys, when McCain starts pointing out that Obama is the least qualified presidential candidate we have ever seen from the Democratic party? How does Obama hold on to swing voters in swing states when crazy, racist Jeremiah videos start running on tv 24 hours a day? How does Obama hang on to women voters (the largest voting percentage of the Democratic electorate) when his insane surrogates are comparing her to Mamie Eisenhower - a woman who had no role in policy development or execution in the Eisenhower White House. Women know sexism when they see that and that kind of pissing on, isn't going to play well with a lot of women over forty.
I can't see a path for Obama to win and more importantly, neither can his supporters. Short of disenfranchising voters, he's got no way to do it. I don't know why he doesn't drop out of the race and give it up to the more qualified candidate.
