Former Bill Clinton Campaign Manager Endorses Obama
by Bonney Kapp
David Wilhelm, Bill Clinton’s ‘92 campaign manager came out in support of Barack Obama today on a conference call with reporters - a big symbolic get for the Obama campaign. Obama senior advisor David Axelrod told reporters, “I think there are a lot of people who were for Bill Clinton who are for Barack Obama today, so he represents a whole group of people who are coming our way.”

On the call, Wilhelm explained why he is backing the newcomer Obama over his old boss’ wife. “He has momentum, perhaps undeniable momentum among Democratic primary voters,” he explained. “We should embrace the candidate who owns change, who owns optimism, who owns the future, who owns idealism, who knows that change is is competitive advantage and is prepared to drive that message of discipline and enthusiasm at every opportunity,” he said.

As a former campaign manager, Wihelm said he especially appreciates organization - and the Obama campaign clearly impressed him. “It has been a masterful campaign - he has out-worked, out-organized and out-rasied his opponents every step of the way. As a former campaign manager, I know organizational excellence when I see it. And the Obama campaign, win or lose, will serve as a model for future generations to come.” He added, “The Obama campaign has overcome truly daunting organizational odds, not to mention the aura of inevitability and that should provide Democrats with confidence.”

Aside from the symbolic value of his support, Wilhelm will also provide tangible tactical help. He explained that the campaign has not been shy about asking for advice - and help with the race for superdelegate support. Wilhelm, also an Ohio superdelegate himself, decided in part to announce his support now “to begin the process that, I think it’s inevitable, of evening up the superdelegate count,” in other words, help spark some kind of domino effect.

Acknowledging the potential superdelegate pitfall for Obama - one where he might win a majority of pledged delegate support, but lose the superdelegate vote, Wilhelm stated, “If superdelegates overrule the choice of Democratic primary voters, that would be a very difficult and divisive scenario for the party. I think it’s unlikely scenario at the end of the day. I think it’s one we should work hard to avoid.”

Which is why Wilhelm will be working the phones to start convincing other superdelegates to support Obama.

This is an American Issue....nobody but Americans have a right to discuss this!

is obama as sexy as bush?

I have absolutely no interest in the US elections, but I got an email about Obama saying he's a Muslim and thus cannot be an American president. A long list of evidence followed. Is that true? It seems Americans don't seem discouraged by this.

Judging by the email, yes, it should. Read it yourselves and then see why I asked. I would like to acknowledge that opinions expressed in this pasted email are neither mine nor representative of mine. I would simply like Americans on this site to tell me how they treat things like this.

"CAN
MUSLIMS BE GOOD AMERICANS?

This is very interesting and we all need to read it from start to Finish...and send it on to
anyone who will read it

Maybe this is why our American Muslims are so
quiet and not speaking out about any atrocities.

Can a good Muslim be a
good American?

This question
was forwarded to a friend who worked in
Saudi Arabia for
20 years.

The following is his reply:

Theologically - no. . . .
Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon God of Arabia .

Religiously
- no. . . . Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam
Quran, 2:256)


Scripturally
- no. . . Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran.

Geographically
- no . . . Because his allegiance is to Mecca , to which he turns in prayer five
times a day.

Socially - no. . . Because his allegiance to Islam forbids
him to make friends with Christians or Jews.

Politically - no. . .
Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach
annihilation of Israel and
destruction of America , the great Satan.

Domestically - no. . . Because
he is instructed to marry four Women and beat and scourge his wife when she
disobeys him
Quran 4:34

Intellectually - no. . . Because he cannot accept the American
Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible
to be corrupt.

Philosophically - no. . . . Because Islam, Muhammad, and
the Quran does not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam
cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or
autocratic.

Spiritually - no. . . . Because when we declare 'one nation
under God,' the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER
referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99
excellent names.


Therefore after
much study and deliberation.... Perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL
MUSLIMS in this country. - - - They obviously cannot be both 'good' Muslims and
good Americans.
Call it what you
wish..it's still the truth. You had better believe it. The more
who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future. The
religious war is bigger than we know or understand. . ...

And Barack
Hussein Obama, a Muslim, wants to be our President? You have
GOT to be kidding!

Wake up America

Obama even says if
he wins the election, he will be sworn in on the Quran---not a
Bible!



Footnote: He was sworn in on the Quran for his
current office and he refuses to pledge allegiance to the United States or put
his hand over his heart when the National Anthem is played!!! The Muslims
have said they will destroy us from within.....Hello!!!! Having a Muslim
president would seem to fit the bill! Would you trust this man with our
national secrets?????"
