Some Obama supporters in the blogosphere were up in arms at Ms. Fowler. They doubt that she really supports Mr. Obama, have called her a plant for Mrs. Clinton and suggested she was deceptive in getting into the fund-raiser.
Fowler told the newspaper “that she was initially reluctant to write about what Mr. Obama had said because she actually supports him — which partly explains why she was at the fund-raiser in the first place and why there was a four-day delay between the event and the publication of her post. Ultimately, she said, she decided that if she didn’t write about it, she wouldn’t be worth her salt as a journalist.”

Barry is the “Bitter One”
Thank You Ms. Fowler!!
It refreshing to know that one person in the room was willing to get information out to the rest of us.
Sadly she is in a minority, I am sure there is alot more of this kind of information that is sanitized before release.
I am hoping that PA gives Obama the drop kick he deserves out of this race.
I am going to follow this story…Ms. Fowler may well end up being the next Daily Kos reject.
Thank you BHDC!
Good for you, Ms. Fowler, a genuine journalist! The future of America depends on persons like you. Thank you.

Keep following.
Obama’s words about PA small towns sounds like something Rev Wright would have said. You can tell Wright was Obama’s mentor. Glad to see MS Flower came forward. Most journalist would have kept quiet.I knew some how Clinton would get the blame. Those were Obama’s words not Clintons.
The New York Times — not to mention the Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Tribune, and the Associated Press report that a witness in the Rezko trial testified that in 2004 Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and his wife attended a party at Antoin Rezko’s home in honor of controversial Iraqi-born British businessman Nadhmi Auchi.
The testimony, by the government’s star witness against Rezko, Stuart Levine, seems to undermine Obama’s claim he doesn’t recall ever meeting Mr. Auchi, who in 2003 was convicted of fraud in France, (a conviction Auchi is appealing).
Auchi invested almost $170 million in a real estate venture with Rezko. Spokespeople for Obama and Auchi say neither recalls meeting the other.

It’s refreshing to see integrity is still alive in the press!
From Michelle’s thesis at Princeton:
On page two she states, “Earlier in my college career, there was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the Black community I was somehow obligated to this community and would utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit this community first and foremost.”
On page ten she claims, “In an individual’s lifetime, it is necessary that the individual focus his/her interests on benefiting a limited number of things at a time because it is impossible to help everyone and everything equally at the same time.”
On page 14 she says, “As a result of such biases, both academic and non-academic, it is often difficult for some Black students to adjust to Princeton’s environment; and unfortunately there are very few adequate support groups which provide some form of guidance and counsel for Black students having difficulty making the transition from their home environments to Princeton’s environment. Most students are dependent upon the use of their own faculties to carry them through Princeton.”
Excerpts from: Dreams From My Father
Introduction xv, “for I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was integrating myself to whites.”
Page 51, “To be black was to be the beneficiary of a great inheritance, a special destiny, glorious burdens that only we were strong enough to bear. Burdens we were to carry with style.”
Page 76, “I was trying to raise myself to be a black man in America,”
Page 80, “And it was there that I would meet Ray and the other blacks close to my age who had begun to trickle into the islands, teenagers whose confusion and anger would help shape my own. ‘That’s just how white folks will do you,’ one of them might say when we were alone.”
Page 81, “Our rage at the white world needed no object, he seemed to be telling me, no independent confirmation; it could be switched on and off at our pleasure.”
Page 86, “Only Malcolm X’s autobiography seemed to offer something different. His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me; the blunt poetry of his words, his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising order, martial in its discipline, forged through sheer force of will.”
Page 86, “And yet, even as I imagined myself following Malcolm’s call, one line in the book stayed with me. He spoke of a wish he’d once had, the wish that the white blood that ran through him, there by an act of violence, might somehow be expunged.”
Page 110, “I had stopped listening at a certain point, I now realized, so wrapped up had I been in my own perceived injuries, so eager was I to escape the imagined traps that white authority had set for me. To that white world, I had been willing to cede the values of my childhood, as if those values were somehow irreversibly soiled by the endless falsehoods that white spoke about black.”
284, Barack looking at the Black Values system of Trinity and calls it a sensible heartfelt list
286, “For them, the principles in Trinity’s brochure were articles of faith no less than belief in the Resurection.”
293, white folks greed
I’m old, but I cut and paste real purdy, don’t I? I ain’t never been to college and I don’t really know what a thesis is, but it’s words you put on a paper that you think at the time. Ain’t nuthin’ changes either. Whatever you say in college, you still believe and live by even 20 years later. Again, I ain’t never been to college, but that’s what people tell me.
P.S. Ain’t NO negro gonna get himself to that there whitehouse. Change is Scurry!!!! I’m the same person I was 30 years later from when I was suppose to be in college and believe the exact same things…read me, NO NEGROS!
==========================================
Nice try Renegade, or whoever you’re posting as today. It just shows you as the poser and racist you really are. You cannot refute a single thing Lacey says so you post in her name in an attempt to deflect from the issue at hand. What a pathetic tool, as well as a despicable coward, you are.
That said, Ms. Fowler is to be commended for her actions.
Have Mitch/Eric, Paul, etc.. been attacking Ms. Fowler?
Obviously Ms. Fowler has integrity–thats when you (including your actions/behavior) are in alignment with your values/beliefs.
Where is Obama’s integrity?
He says one thing and does something different?
Obama has Mitch/Eric and Paul, etc… as attack dogs on people that are interested in finding out the truth about Obama.
Mmmmmm Lacey, I wonder, wonder why she would think like that.

Obama 2008!!!
============================================
Great post. If I ever went to a party attended by a multi-billionaire, I’m sure as hell I’d “recall” if I “met” the guy or not. Hell, I’d probably introduce myself and ask for a 10-spot (a 10 thousand dollar spot that is). Obama is a out-and-out liar if he says he doesn’t “recall” meeting the guy.
I just want to apologize to everyone here if I was condescending in any of my previous posts. Reader made me realize just what a conceited jerk I was. I realized that it was the reason people avoided me. I’ll try to do better.
Thanks.
All politicians lie, or just Obama? I wish I wasn’t so fucking stupid.
I’m so in love with Renegade, I don’t know what to do. She is so superior to me, I know I could never be worthy. I am in awe everyday and long for her to be mine, but alas, the obviousness of my ignorance scares her away. I don’t think I can go on any longer………
Goodbye cruel world
Reader
Ms. Fowler,
You should be commended for your journalistic integrity…. Now can you get the MSM to start reporting with the same integrity

Mmmmmm, the remarks on this board by Obama supporters continues to amuse me. I read the article, and WOW, this was certainly cause for her to bash Princeton for the fine education they gave her. Do you have any idea how many college kids would love to attend an Ivy league school and get the education she did? Her thesis is basically on African Americans and how they reacted to whites before Princeton, during their Princeton years and after they graduated. She sent out questionaires to 400 former alumni, and received 89 responses to her dismay. It would appear most people didn’t agree with her thoughts or simply didn’t care. When one researches a college, they normally try to find a school where they feel they will be happy for the next four years. She bashes them for not having enough African American professors, didn’t she realize that before she applied? If that was her criteria, why did she choose to apply? But people will defend the Obama’s no matter what they say or do. The world keeps on turning.
Finally, a reporter with ethics!
Ms. Fowler did the correct and ethical thing by reporting Obama’s words. If Obama’s followers truly feel that those comments were justified, then why are they attacking the truth so adamantly. Obama loves to spin things for his benefit; he lies consistantly, but the mainstream media never calls him on it.

Good morning!
I was just on the Huffington Post…they really hate hill/Bill…the entire site is one lie after another, you would be SURE Obama was leading in PA..NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
Then I read the Daily Kos…UNBELIEVABLE MARXIST!!! Bad, bad things have happened there since Hill/Bill was thrown out..I had no idea that Hill/Bill were the only thing holding the Dem’s in this solar system!!! They are figuring a way to expand “Common” property……I think I smelled some pot while I was reading through.
I encourage everyone to go to these sites and see what has happened there since Hill’s being deposed, and continuing stance to stay in the race. The Dem’s should be very afraid, this is not stuff the adverage American wants for their country.
BITCHES GET STUFF DONE
Ms Fowler doing her duty as a journalist was she? Ms Fowler an Obama supporter? Ms Fowler who went to a fund raiser that the press was not invited to and recorded the conversation without Obama’s knowledge? Sounds like a set up to me.
Since Obama has aknowledged Larry Sinclair, when will the media report on it??
Everything he has said from Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Rezco, Farrakhan, seems to be ok with this media. Tell the whole story and let the chips fall where they may. I hope we can get some honest vetting of this man
Is this old news or something that was swept under the carpet while everyone has been analyzing the ‘clinging to guns and religion’ video?
I heard it was part of the same but was originally edited. This is Obama saying that ‘rural America is too redneck to vote for a black guy’:
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0408/Video_from_San_Francisco.html
It’s the truth. All it takes is a quick glance at some of these posts to see it. Present company included.
ACTUALLY OBAMA’S COMMENTS ACCORDING TO POLLS HELP HIM - READ THIS just publishe: Source: http://www.borowitzreport.com/
————————————–
Poll: Majority of Americans Bitter, Clingy
Numbers Could Help Obama
With less than a week to go before the Pennsylvania primary, a new poll released today hints that Sen. Barack Obama’s controversial remarks in which he called Pennsylvania voters “bitter” may actually be helping him with a key constituency: bitter voters.
According to a new poll released today by Newsweek, 54 percent of likely voters in Pennsylvania describe themselves either as “bitter,” “sometimes bitter” or “bitter most of the time.”
Drilling down beneath those numbers, the results of the poll get even better for Obama, especially when the respondents answered the question, “When you are bitter, what do you cling to?”
According to the poll, 35 percent said they clung to “religion,” 34 percent said they clung to “guns,” while 28 percent said they clung to “antipathy towards people who are different from me.”
In a sign that voters who describe themselves as bitter are ready to mobilize in support of Sen. Obama’s presidential bid, over a million bitter voters took to the streets of Philadelphia today in support of the Illinois senator.
The demonstration, which organizers were calling The Bitter Man March, suggests that bitter voters had found something new to cling to.
According to Tracy Klujian, 35, a bitter florist from suburban Philadelphia, “When I’m not too busy clinging to guns or religion, I’m going to cling to Barack Obama.”
Elsewhere, in a new effort to relate to voters, Sen. Hillary Clinton did five Jell-o shots at a bar in Pittsburgh.
YEAH, RIGHT Back to his SENATE SEAT
Obama’s comments want help if he wins the nomination.I will not vote for Obama.I find his comments to be offensive. Lots of Hillary supporters tell me they will not vote for him either.
Obama can do no wrong to his followers. Its scary. Are people really that stupid/ I guess they are.
Obama is promising allot of stuff to people that he will not be able to keep. He changes his rhetoric to what ever crowd he is speaking to. He is absolutely power crazy and probably dangerous with power.
cats, boon I agree with you 100%.Obama offers change . What kind of change? America would never be the same!!! Voters cannot let that happen.Hillary supporters should not vote democrat if obama wins the nomination. I will vote other or Mccain!!!!
