So I decided to take a few days off and just garden. I can’t stand to see his face. I can’t stand his allies. I can’t stand what he is doing in the absence of the FEC.

I’d rather plant flowers and listen to birds. He isn’t well liked out here, that’s the buzz everywhere I go. He didn’t win our state for a reason. We like Hillary Clinton and what she represents. That’s why California voted for her. He is the one who should get out of the race. We don’t need an arrogant imbecile who is good at fundraising running the country. Do we?

We don’t need him.

Many of us will go over to John McCain and that would be a sad day for Democrats if we can’t have Hillary. So, Obama should be aware of that and just step aside.

Also, his role in the FEC stalemate needs to be addressed before this election goes on any further.

Democracy21.org has this on “soft money”:

“…They’re beginning to put the book together on Obama,” said the strategist, who discussed the effort on condition of anonymity.

Campaign finance rules limit individual donations to candidates to $2,300 per person, per election, and the candidates must publicly disclose their contributors. But loopholes in the law allow independent groups to operate more freely, permitting unlimited donations to the 527 organizations, named for a section of the tax code, and to 501(c)4 entities, tax-exempt nonprofits that can engage in some political activity if their primary mission is “social welfare.”

It is too early to get a complete picture of third-party spending planned for 2008, in part because many of the groups keep their intentions and activity cloaked from public view. But in a presidential race that is already breaking fund-raising records, 527s, nonprofit organizations, and unions appear poised to spend at least $500 million combined to help swing the election to the candidates they favor, according to analysts and news accounts…”

Media Matters for AMERICA had this:

“…But according to reports from a fancy fundraiser last night at Washington, D.C.’s National Museum of Women in the Arts, Obama seems to have decided already. In front of 200 people who’d forked over $2,300 for the privilege of attending, the Democratic frontrunner suggested, in what amounted to a justification of opting out of public financing, that his low-dollar network of online donors effectively represents a “parallel public financing system.” “We have created a parallel public financing system where the American people decide if they want to support a campaign they can get on the Internet and finance it,” he said. “They will have as much access and influence over the course and direction of our campaign that has traditionally been reserved for the wealthy and the powerful.” In other words, who needs public financing when we have online fundraising…”

The Saint Louis Post-Dispatch has this:

“…The FEC currently only has two commissioners, shy of the four-person quorum it needs to operate. Four nominees are locked in a high-level congressional standoff that has blocked any confirmation vote.

“It’s a campaign finance scandal of a kind we haven’t seen before,” said Fred Wertheimer, president of Democracy 21, a campaign finance watchdog group. “We have no agency capable of overseeing, implementing and enforcing the nation’s campaign finance laws in the middle of a presidential and congressional election year.”

At the center of the firestorm is Hans von Spakovsky, nominated by President George W. Bush to serve on the commission.”

Von Spakovksy used to work at the Justice Department’s civil rights division, where Democrats say he blocked efforts to use affirmative action lawsuits to help racial minorities.

“He should not serve on the panel responsible for protecting the integrity of federal elections,” Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., wrote in a newspaper editorial in the Chicago Defender last fall…”

You know why Obama makes me sick? Why is he holding up the FEC? Is it for his own benefit as he rakes in money behind the scenes?

When I see his face in the web I want to VOMIT.

The FEC should be reinstated NOW.

If any of the candidates are cheating the American Public, they will take care of it.

This election disgusts me. Obama disgusts me. Maybe it will take the Republicans to topple his target-marketing and I hope they do.

Back to flowers and birds and pottery making this morning.

Obama? I hope he goes to hell in a handbasket. I wouldn’t vote for him if he were the last candidate on earth.
