totally lame on his part.....why didn't he go there and confront the supposed rumors first hand........the democrats and all the little Abominoids and Obamadroids really need to start asking themselves why all these people in the last several primaries continue to cast there ballots for Hillary Clinton who by all accounts has lost her party's nomination.......this guy is a total whining little wimp

The man is a complete wimp! IF he loses, it's because of "typical white people," Fox News, e-mail rumors, etc. He never faces the fact that a lot of people just plain don't like his politics. Then again, quite a few liberals on this forum refuse to face that fact, either.

It has nothing to do with his politics. Just the constant lies spread about him being some kind of Muslim plant, or the lies about his religion, or any number of the other lies the Repugnant Cons spread on a day to day, minute to minute basis.

The Rev Wright is some lie........also the constant open mouth and insert foot act done by him and his oh so lovely wife these last several months........

Three small objectional quotes in thirty years of preaching Liberation Theology blown up by the Right Wing media. Please. Hagee's said a thousand more objectional and insane things yet McCain hasn't rejected his endorsement.

three I guess you missed the National Press Club Fiasco and the interview with Bill Moyers on PBS where he expounded on all of his views......a conservative spouts that and they would tar and feather him.........you apparently also missed the apology Hagee has issued Catholics and the joint press conference where McCain IN FRONT OF HAGEE publicly stated that

he disagreed with MANY of Hagee's statements........

where is the Rev Wright apology and the disavowal by Obama of Wright's statements........

So now Fox News is brainwashing the people in Kentucky that are too stupid to think for themselves? Or, or could it be the good people of Kentucky are intelligent, free thinkers? Perhaps the events that have come to light about Obama over the past few months have made them have second thoughts. Could that indicate Kentuckians listen to several news outlets and make up their own minds?

Yeah. All those Faux News watchers are *really* free thinkers.

Sh!te. I haven't laughed that hard in days.

Hey Einstein

It can no longer be called Faux News anymore by all you little Abominoids since in the last several weeks Obama has appeared on it twice and Clinton once.......your oh so clever retort (not) no longer holds validity....

I guess they don't get MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC or CBS in Kentucky. I was watching MSNBC a couple of hours ago and a graphic comes on the left side of the screen the read Obama vs GOP and then they started to go into their story......that graphic Obama vs GOP just goes to show you how most of the MSM is head over heels for Obama.......it depicts Obama's David, to McCain's Goliath and is totally misleading......poor little Obama against the mighty GOP political machine....no DNC behind him, no MoveON.org behind him......no George Soros and his billions behind him......such a crock........here we have a thin, sandaled, loin skin clad Obama holding nothing but a sling shot in his hand trotting out to do battle with the mighty Philistine Goliath Mc Cain and the whole massed GOP political machine behind him.........the savior of America and the world getting ready to do combat with all those evil Republicans......ridiculous the pass this man has been given by the MSM..........

Not a real good comment for Obama to make. Seems to be up there with the bible thumpers clinging to their bible comments. Barack your inexperience is showing.

Once again the eletist opens his mouth. When will he learn? He would do much better talking to the people instead of down at them.

Its an Arkansas bordering state and the demographics favor Clinton. I doubt its race or anything like that... I've explained it before, but its the culture at the end of the day. In the eyes of Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Ohio experience trumps ideas. The idea of Obama as a Muslim might exist in Kentucky... but likely in people that already knew they were voting Clinton anyway. Otherwise they would seek out the truth on it.

So what is the truth abouth his Muslim background? He cannot deny his Muslim grandparents, his Muslim Father, His muslim Cousins, and siblings, his Muslim Step father, and all his Muslim relatives he spent 6 weeks in Kenya visiting as soon as he was elected Senator. So he was the only Christian? I am surprised they didn't behead him. He may not think he is Muslim, and he may not want you to know where he comes from, but his past is his past, and he cannot change it. And neither can you.

It might just be the Reverend Wright issue or the slip up of the speech on the west coast, or it could be he is just not in line with their politics.

All of the points you mentioned PLUS according to the coverage of the exit polls last evening 51% of the Democratic primary voters in Kentucky said they don't trust Obama

Bingo!!

Look, I like obama for the most part, but blaming the entire news outlet for a loss is little off. If most of KY ONLY watches FOX then he's hit.

Obama couldn't be bothered to spend much time in Kentucky

He now needs to create an excuse for his loss there

"He said he had hoped to spend more time in Kentucky earlier this week but was called back to Washington, D.C. for votes on Tuesday."

Yet he's been to Oregon and South Dakota. He even went to Michigan and Missouri where they have already held their primaries.

Where is he going today - Iowa

His whining is really getting irritating

What a big Baby. He needs to hide behind his wifes skirt tail a little more often. When he opens his mouth his foot slams right in.

Does Mrs. Obama have a mustache? Seems like she has a four o'clock shadow on some of her close ups?

Obama started losing white voters when they saw, and heard the Rev Wright curse, and damn America, and figured out he had sat there, and listened to that drivel for 20 years. Then he went to San Francisco, and tried to excuse his coming Pennsylvania loss on middle class people clinging to their guns, and God (does he not have a God?) because of hard times. Recently he said we can't drive our SUVs, eat out so often keep our homes set at 72, and expect the other countries to say O K. Excuse me> I have to lower my standards so Obama will be beloved by other countries? He makes no sense to most people no matter what color he is today.

On this and other fora, I have seen people comment to the effect that Wright's remark was isolated in nature.

I disagree. His remarks were extreme, very extreme, and you don't arrive at them from nothing.

Even if Wright wasn't that way when Senator Obama joined his church, there would most certainly have been warning signs well before such an outburst.

Or was Obama too busy playing politics in Springfield and DC to notice except when he wrote the weekly cheque to TUCC?

The remarks are not isolated. There are hundreds of tapes sold by the Church of the Rev making derogatory anti-American statements about this country. Obama listened to them, took his minor children to listen to them, gave money to support the Church. That is is right, but don't then come to Americans and say I want to be your President. He doesn't measure up.

Where did the Rev. Wright disappear to? Hmmmmm

Correction: He didn't say we shouldn't eat out so often, he said we shouldn't eat as much. Now that is worse. What will be do put us all on Government Gruel?

it's pretty funny how all the Democratic candidates have avoided FOX these past years but now in a space of a couple of weeks Hillary with O'Reilly, Obama with Chris Wallace, and again today Obama on Fox.......what are all the little Abominoids going to do now that they can no longer use the FAUX News retort.........

It is because Fox News is where the viewers are right now.

Terry Mc?Auliff was on Fox, and he was beside himself with glee at the fact Obama is losing 2 to 1 in Kentucky, and he is not going to win by that big a number in Oregon. No celebration for him this night. The most interesting thin he said was even if Hillary goes to the convention with less then 2025 delegates, he won't have 2025 delegates either, and it will be a brokered convention with Hillary able to say he is not electable

If Obama truly believes that Fox News circulating a bogus e-mail is the cause for his loss in Kentucky, he should be put in a nuthouse, not the White House.

No, this is the latest wrinkle in Obama's strategy of firing up his base by whining about "unfair attacks". That along with getting his knickers in a knot over Bush's statements about appeasement and declaring Michele Obama off limits even though she's participating in the public forum. Do we really want a self-proclaimed victim as president?

A very weak response to an overwhelming rejection in Kentucky.

If this is how the man reacts to being scorned, I am going to revise the popular saying about "Hell hath no fury...."

Every time he wins, it's the mandate of the people.

Every time he loses, it's due to this "smear attack", or that "smear attack", or this scandal or that scandal - NEVER the will of the people.

What a narcissistic twit.

Obama blames Fox News, his liberal agenda, his voting record, his wife's big mouth, and his racist pastor for likely loss in Kentucky
