Re: Why do the Hillary lovers hate Obama?
by John Heartfield

This arrogance that I sense in the Obama campaign is very evident in many of the posts I read on this forum. So, the only reason anyone would have to criticize Obama is because they are sore losers? (Even those of us who didn't support Hillary?) Obama supporters, they seem to say, are highly thoughtful intellectuals who planned and worked for their victory. Apparently, they got no help from a sympathetic media or powerful allies like the Kennedys and Oprah Winfrey, or the super delegates who put him over the top-- they did it all by themselves. The rest of us are just little children who can only have primitive feelings and should be grateful to have Obama as an alternative to McCain.

And what is this thing about Obama working so hard for the nomination? Seems to me, Mrs. Clinton-- and for that matter, Edwards and other candidates-- worked just as hard. Seems to me that the ones who spent years in the Senate developing legislation are the ones who worked hard, not the guy who just waltzed in at the last minute and doesn't have one piece of legislation to his credit.

I can see that Obama supporters are setting the stage for a third-party candidate. The circumstances are ripe for someone to have the guts to step forward and give an alternative to the millions of voters who are tired of the arrogance of the Obamanites and the incompetence of the Republicans. Can we get Bill Bradley to come out of retirement? At this point, I'd even be willing to consider Bloomberg.
