Obama's Updated Financial Numbers -Return of 'Watch Out For the Snakes'

Senator Barack Obama raised 54 million dollars in June, just shy of his record. Before you feel good about that, you always have to see the forest for the trees. Some of you out there see the forest, and bring up things from time to time. Keep your eyes on the ball and remember what our pal Craig Hickman says:

Barack is STILL running for the nomination.

Craig might wear the tinfoil hat, he might not, but he's not lyin' on this one.

Brian Francis over at PoliticanInaction.com, has strung together the forest pretty well:

$52 Million in June WITHOUT Hillary's help....

Obama raised $52 Million in June without the help of Hillary's top fundraisers who gave him only $20k.

That is astonishing, but raises some very very major red flags with me.

1. This proves the Obama campaign doesn't need these people.....and when you don't need someone they either suck up to you or they find a way to undermine you

2. These are POWERFUL people who have just had their last 20 years of ascendency taken from them...literally having all the relationship building and image building and money donated for one singular purpose swept out from under them. Everything they worked for now means nothing. They will not go quietly into the night.

3. Hillary hasn't released her delegates

4. Some of Hillary's superdelegates are trying to band together to nominate her for the VP at the convention, with a more radical group trying to nominate her for President

5. The fit is going to hit the shan when Obama names his VP next week and it isn't her

Yes, the next few weeks will be very interesting to watch indeed. Snakes abound, ladies and gentlemen. Trust your instincts while watching. You're not being paranoid, IMO.

Dear Senator Obama, watch out for snakes.

Dear Senator Obama,

Just in case you didn't know, there are a lot of snakes in the grass. Maybe you need some reminding.

I'll begin the list of snakes that are to be trusted at your peril. These are folks that mean you harm, and don't wish you well.

I won't get them all. I'm sure that Mirror On America posters will be able to add to it.

The Mirror-On-America-Snakes-Can't-Be-Trusted List:

1. Bill and Hillary Clinton - they aren't your friends. They haven't even moved into detente with you. Assume at all times that they are NEVER to be trusted, and are working behind the scenes at every moment to undermine you. Period.
2. Anyone who worked for Hillary Clinton - yes, I know you hired some of those folks. Do it at your peril. Trust them at your folly. But, when they sell you out, don't say you weren't warned.
3. Anyone who was in Camp Clinton that works at Fox Noise - whatever commentary they would say isn't worth spit, and you best believe it's not going to be for your benefit.
4. Harold Ford, Jr. - The Dark Sith loathes you. And, I can count on one hand the number of times he's been complimentary towards you during this campaign season. Don't ever turn your back on him, and don't remotely believe he's a surrogate FOR you.
5. Joan Walsh - Anyone who runs a site that actually CALLED you 'UPPITY' - that just about says it all.
6. All the feministas for Hillary who were yelling sexism 24/7 for the last month on any television show they could find...you know the bunch I'm talking about. They've been awfully silent about the attacks on Michelle...so, only 'some' women are worth defending to them.
7. The old Civil Rights Establishment - pick and choose. You don't know what's going to happen with this group.
8. The Half of the Congessional Black Caucus that supported Hillpatine - STAY AWAY from those Negroes. Don't even return their phone calls.
9. Shelby Steele - this could be for most of the Black Conservatives, but Steele deserves special notice. He's lost his mind during this campaign, turning his back on his writings of the past 15 years because of you.


Now, I'm opening it up to Mirror On America....tell me of the snakes you see out there.

Bill Clinton Attacks Vanity Fair..this time...the battlefield has fewer soldiers

In case you don't know, there is a new article in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair about Bill Clinton.

Bubba Trouble: The Comeback Id

It was written by Dee Dee Myers' husband. Yes. That Dee Dee Myers.

Here is Bill Clinton's Response to the article.

One of the biggest FRAUDS ever perpetrated by Camp Hillpatine was that she was FULLY VETTED.

Hell no, she wasn't fully vetted.

She ran two non-contests for United States Senate. She hasn't been vetted for her POST -White House Years.

And that, Brothers and Sisters of Mirror On America, was the ticking time bomb just waiting for explosion once she got the nomination.

And, the Democrats would have been STUCK

STUCK, I TELL YA.

The moment the GOP began to unload, it would have been deja vu all over again. Us stuck defending these jokers against the ' vast right-wing conspiracy' over crap THAT WAS TRUE.


5 Things. Don't even count Bill's below-the-belt-extracurriculars.

1. Full revealing of ALL her earmarks.
2. What's in the 18 million LEFT OUT of the tax returns?
3. What's in the Ron Burkle Partnership? What did he have to do to get it?
4. Donor list for the Clinton Library
5. Donor list for the Clinton Foundation

Those 5- and the GOP wouldn't even have to tell us whose been flying with Bill on those private planes.

Wouldn't even have to go into his below-the-belt-extracurriculars.

I have no proof (BECAUSE THEY WON'T REVEAL ANY OF THIS), but I'll forever believe the answers to the five above questions would have given GOP 527's endless commercials.

Now, I've had a mini-debate at another blog that this is bad news for Obama, articles like this.

I happen to disagree.

These stories are about to come out full force, and I have absolutely no problem with that.

Because, it will show how Obama’s campaign was even MORE ABOVE BOARD.

You think this stuff in Vanity Fair, and what’s going to come out later has just been suddenly discovered?

Of course not.

The Obama people CHOSE not to go down this road.

But, I want every bit of these stories to come out. Because, everyone that does ensures to me that she’ll NEVER get that VP slot. Period.


The person debating me says that Obama could be 'blamed' for it by Hillpatine's more irrational supporters.

The Vanity Fair article is the first, but it won't be the last. These are stories that the MSM has sat on, believing they would get to use them on Hillpatine during the General Election.

Now that that won’t happen, they have to use them :
1. They’ve already done them, why let them go to waste
2. The GOP has them, and they will NEVER pass up the chance to kick the Clintons while the getting is good.

Obama will not be able to control this. He simply won’t. The Clintons have made too many enemies, and they want to feast on their carcass.
And, there are a whole lot of Democrats, the ones who had Bill Clinton's Back during the worst of times and took up space on the Clinton field of battle (oh, say Black folk and MoveOn.org), who this time, will just sit this one out.
