There is a part of me that wants to feel sorry (5.00 / 7) (#2)

for Obama. His career is over. If he wins the nomination he is almost sure to lose the general election. He should be thankful if Clinton asks him to be VP because right now he can only bring trouble for the Democratic Party. He'll bring parts of his base (who will still support him after Wright gets through with destroying him) but the GOP has all the ammunition needed to bring down Obama whether he is the nominee or Clinton's running mate.

Just when I feel a bit sorry I realize what Obama has put our party through. We're now clearly divided among race, class, age, and gender lines. Obama chose to use race baiting and sexism in his campaign. I said several days ago that I predicted a lot of bad things headed Obama's way because of his bad karma. He threw so many people under the bus and fooled so many others into believing his empty rhetoric. He chose to disenfranchise MI and FL rather than agree to a revote during a time when he could have at least won MI. So many selfish mistakes.

I'm actually starting to feel sorry for Wright (5.00 / 4) (#10)

It is a little sad that first he gets dismissed as a crazy old uncle, then he gets dismissed as a mediawh**e. But then I remember what he said about Bill & Hillary from the pulpit, and I get over it.

Anglachel's Journal has a new post up (5.00 / 4) (#34)

which I think sums up what a lot of us are feeling at the moment. Read it here. Obama has done some unforgiving things in the eyes of Clinton supporters this election. But perhaps this is what needed to be done for many of us to see the hidden sexism and class prejudice in our party. I think what might happen to the Democratic Party after this election is the most tragic story of all.

yes - Anglachel's post is very good (5.00 / 2) (#98)

Obama's words of "unity" conflict with his actions of playing the Race Card.
But he's never been a big supporter of the Democratic Party nor "bringing people together" in the party. In fact, he rarely mentions the party.
He's all about the Obama Party.

I like Anglachel (none / 0) (#42)

However, I think she should give herself a word limit.  She gets a little longish.

grrrr (5.00 / 2) (#85)

Go LONG anglachel.  

There's not a whole lot of people out there who write as well as you do, and consistently come up with new and decidedly insightful observations -- ang is one of them.  Its a pleasure to read her prose on a aesthetic level, and a pleasure to read her ideas on an intellectual level!

Couldn't agree more! (5.00 / 1) (#122)

There is never too much of a good thing in anglachel's journal for me. I await each new one eagerly. Never too long or even long enough to feed my need for her scary-smart insight.

I love to read what she has to say. The longer the better.

I agree that her analysis is very sound and valuable, but a good edit could eliminate the wordiness and make the points more clearly and forcefully.

She is not wordy. Wordy is the horror writer King (none / 0) (#146)
